Wizard Mafia Incorporated

Chapter 4

-Havoc in the Mall-

Jasmine decided to ride in the front with the driver to give him directions to the best mall. Leaving Draco and Hermione alone in the back, she had no idea of the history between them. Draco stared out the window and thought about all of the new things he was getting to do. His father would never agree to all of this, although, he was technically ordered to do this by Mr. Dixon.

Hermione couldn't believe her luck, stuck with Ferret Face Malfoy in the back of a limo. At least my father has more money than the Malfoys. I didn't miss the 'accounts' he mentioned. It was just the point that how many accounts did he have and how much was in them? What the bloody hell was a stage 3? She'd have to ask Jasmine later.

A bump sent her shoulder to shoulder with Malfoy. He cringed at the touch and jerked away making Hermione fall on him worse than she was already.

"What the bloody hell are you trying to do Granger? If you wanted in my pants that bad you could have asked!" Draco said looking down at her.

"Excuse me Malfoy, I was jolted into your shoulder and was knocked off balance and then jerking away only made things worse. I don't want in your pants you ignorant git. Only pug faced Parkinson would want that. And oh look, she isn't here." Hermione said sitting up again.

The window rolled down and Draco jumped a foot. "How the hell did you do that?"

"This little button here." Hermione said pointing to a little black button that was among other little black buttons. "It moves the window up and down. Jasmine, where are we going exactly?"

"To a secret mall that only we special units know about. A place where we don't need special permits to buy things of great value."

"Like what exactly?" Hermione asked with a curious look.

"Special things used by the special units. Special things that Mr. Malfoy will need and you will not." Jasmine said giving Draco a wink. He smirked.

"Little mud blood doesn't get the special things. Feel left out?" Draco said looking at Hermione. Jasmine's eyes got really big.

"Well Ferret Face, if you would care to remember that I am a Dixon. Meaning I'm a pureblood. I've read pureblood books, and if I recall correctly my family sits higher than yours, therefore I am not a mud blood as you so liked to call me before. And no I don't feel left out. For all I know your job could be being transfigured into a guard dog and maybe the special things you need are a shock collar and being fixed by the vet." Hermione said looking out the window.

Draco looked shocked. He looked at Jasmine. "I'm not being transfigured into a dog am I?"

"For what you just called her, you should be. You're lucky I liked how she reacted or you would find your self in some real hurt boy. Mr. Dixon would not be happy that you called his daughter a...a...I can't even say it! Apologize at once!" jasmine shouted at him.

"Sorry Hermione." Draco said without meaning. Jasmine was about to launch off at him when Hermione held up a hand.

"It's alright Jasmine. I'm used to it; I went to school with him. Some things will never change. He just can't get it through his head that I'm now better than him. My father doesn't need to know, I can handle this on my own. Are we there yet?"

"Yes, we have arrived at our destination." Jasmine said glaring at Draco who looked bored. "Come on Hermione; let's go spend your dad's money." Hermione smiled and nodded.

---------------

Draco followed the girls through the mall doors and when he got inside he stopped in his tracks. This wasn't like Diagon Alley; it was much bigger, with a lot more people. While he was looking around he lost track of Jasmine and Hermione. They had walked off toward the clothes leaving Draco looking at the people. He scanned the crowd, looking for Hermione's bushy trademark. Only to find out that there were several bushy trademarks in the mall. It was apparently the muggle style. So he decided to pick one and follow it. That led him to disastrous results. It happened to be a drag queen looking for new outfits to wear. The drag queen happened to turn around and notice that Draco was following him/her and started following him.

Next he tried another, one in a sexy black dress. He of course knew that this wasn't Hermione but decided to follow her anyway. This also led to very bad results. Her boyfriend saw him and decided that he was a stalker. Her boyfriend was big. Not humanly big. He was at least 7 foot tall and almost as wide. This big man started coming at him. Draco of course turned and ran as fast as his long, quidditch sculpted legs would allow.

It was a good thing that he was in shape because the man gave chase and Draco had to run farther than he intended. Of course Hermione and Jasmine were watching all of this happen from the balcony that Draco hadn't thought of looking. He would have seen them; they were standing in plain sight, or rolling on the floor, in plain sight.

He finally got away from the big guy only to have knocked over a few displays and run over a few people. So now he had angered nearly half the mall. Hermione decided to save him before he got his dumb arse killed.

She started to walk toward him. He wasn't very hard to miss. Standing 6'3 and with his blonde hair, he stood out in the crowd he was standing in at the moment. She tapped his shoulder and he nearly punched her had he not realized who she was before he let it rip.

"Hermione! Don't sneak up on people like that!" just then the drag queen and the big man came walking out of the crowd.

"Hey you sexy thang. You wanna come home with me?" the drag queen said running a finger down Draco's jaw line. Draco shuddered.

"No, he can't go home with you because he's not going to make it out of here alive. He was stalking my girlfriend." The big man said packing his fists in his hands. Draco ducked down, cringing away from him. Hermione spoke up.

"I'm sorry but neither is going to be happening today. I agree that he is an insufferable git and does things he shouldn't but I have to take him with me. Sorry boys."

"What makes you think that you can walk in here and take him away?" the drag queen argued.

"Yeah, it's not like we can't get rid of you too." The big guy said.

"Ok, we can settle this. The nice way is that you let us walk away and no one gets hurt. The mean way is I call my people and you all get very hurt. What would you prefer?"

The big man chuckled. And the drag queen laughed shrilly. "Your people? Like anyone could take me." The big man said flexing his muscles.

Jasmine had been watching the scene and decided that they might need some help. She called Mr. Dixon and he said that he would send some men. He would have liked to come himself but he was still managing the stage 3.

The men walked through the doors and spotted Jasmine and she pointed to the mass gathering and they nodded. Protect the family jewel.

The big man was flexing his muscles when two men stood behind him and then three stood around Hermione and Draco. It was then that he realized the added members of the crowd.

"Boys, say hello to my people." Hermione said. "Now if you'll excuse us, we need to finish what we actually came here for. Come alone Malfoy"

"Malfoy, you don't happen to be Draco Malfoy do you?" a male member from the crowd asked.

"Who wants to know?"

"Me. I work with your dad. I'm Drake Celestin."

"I've heard about you. You're one of the best flyers in the welsh lands." Draco said with a look of awe.

"He is also the biggest git around." Jasmine said walking through the crowd.

"Ah, Jasmine, I see you still haven't forgiven me." Drake spoke softly.

"How could I forgive you? You lied to me, you betrayed me and worst off you chose someone else over me. But I'm not going to discuss this here of all places." Jasmine said lifting her chin. Hermione thought 'kudos for Jaz.' Hermione looked at the men that were surrounding her. My privet army. Squee!
