OK i know some of you already read this but I'm trying to make longer chapters now so read the ending! Also Ive decided to start this story back up again. I know you are thinking ' lies' But I'm really gonna try! Also ideas! People I need some ideas! haha Anyways next chapter might involve a party...

After breakfast we were met with a carriage outside the front steps. I was surprised you could say. I didn't know they actually traveled by horse and carriage! I had to admit I felt pretty grand. Narcissa just happened to have her cloak sitting on the seat next to her forcing me and Draco to sit next to each other. It was an awkward ride to say the least. I had to break the ice.

"Um , excuse me?" I said more to Narcissa than Draco.

"Yes dear?" She told me.

"I was wondering, since you know I've been called Hermione for years now. If you would continue calling me that?" I told her afraid she will say no.

She said yes, she thought it was an odd request. I don't see how it's odd? I mean would you want to be called something all your life and out of no where be called something completely different? Draco looked at me oddly, like he was confused. It doesn't matter since he doesn't address me by my first name any way's. We arrived and shopped for a little while. Narcissa had me try on robes to get fitted and such. She said it's always handy to have dress robes for every occasion! Well isn't she just a tad spoiled. That's ok though. I had fun trying on dress after dress like normal teenage girl's would have done with all their friends. Too bad it was with my shady "friend's" mother. I don't know what Draco is anymore. I mean he was my enemy ,but I don't hate him anymore. Do I? I'm not sure… I wish my life would be the way it used to be. Maybe I should try and talk to Ron and Harry. They wouldn't care and just yell in my face but it's worth a try right?

Wrong.

I owled Harry at the wizarding post office.

Harry

Please before you burn this,

I want to talk to you sometime.

Consider it?

Hermione

I tied it to this black owl.

'Deliver this to Harry Potter, Wait for a reply please'

I watched the bird fly out of the window's and off into the distance. It was near 6 and starting to become dark out. I knew we had to leave soon. So I made my way back to our carriage. I thought Narcissa and Draco would be waiting for me ,but it was only Draco. I thought about turning around and casually look around outside ,but I would have looked stupid. So, I sat next to Draco ,because I couldn't steal Narcissa's seat she might take me for rude.

" Did you buy anything?" Draco asked me.

I thought it was a stupid question since he was practically forced to sit next to his mother and watch me try on all the dress's she threw at me. Maybe he just wasn't paying attention.

"Yes, I did. I got some new dress robes." I told him.

He looked uncomfortable but asked me "That's nice."

I'm sure he wanted to say some remark but something was holding him back. I thought I'd be nice.

"Yes, They told me my dress robes would be ready in 2 weeks." I said while looking out the window.

"Can I come with you when you come and pick them up?"

That surprised me I wasn't expecting kindness or caring or whatever the hell you call it. I was sure not used to it.

"Sure." Was my reply.

I don't know what this feeling is ,but something's going to happen. Soon.

We finally got home after that awkward conversation. Ate dinner. I went out into the gardens for a stroll while Draco talked to his father in his study. Narcissa went to visit an old friend ,and all seemed normal. I wonder as I gaze on all these flower's and bushes'. What it would be like growing up in a huge house like this. No neighbor's. Meaning no new friend's. Always surrounded by your family. Always alone. In that moment I felt bad for Draco. Thinking how he spent his whole childhood surrounded by evil thing's constantly. I figured from now on , I will show him kindness. Even if he say's some scathing remark ( not going to far of course ) I'll just ignore it and be nicer! That's how you kill a bully right? Suffocate them with kindness. J

Harry still hadn't replied yet. She didn't know what to feel. Disappointment? Sadness? Shocked? Or just plain dumb for thinking he would? She knew she wouldn't be able to contact Ron or he would go nuts, and possibly say hurtful thing's. She thought at least Harry would understand. It's been 3 day's since she sent the letter, and life around her has been boring. Same thing everyday Breakfast, Lunch , and then Dinner. All escorted by Draco. Like after all these time's I wouldn't know how to get there by now. I think Narcissa did that to get us to talk, but we don't. At all. He show's up at my door say's hello, and we go down to the dinning room. It has a huge table to fit like 30 people, but we only sit on the one side of it. Always just us four. Occasionally a visitor or two for Narcissa or Lucius. Never Draco… I always wondered if he had any friend's apparently not. I do hear about a Blaise quite often. I hope he visits soon, because I need some other person to see walking around the house.

During dinner tonight, I talked. I actually addressed a conversation than sitting their all dull.

"Yes, Draco that is a good idea." Narcissa told her son.

"Great, maybe we can go next week?" Draco asked mummy.

Narcissa nodded. I felt this was the end of their conversation.

"If you don't mind me asking, I was wondering who this Blaise was you were talking about the other night?" I asked the table.

For once Lucius answered.

"Blaise is Draco's friend. Isn't that right Draco?" Lucius gave Draco a pointed look.

"Yes, very close friend. Blaise Zabini. He was in our Year at Hogwarts. Didn't talk much, but we are very good friends." Draco told me.

"Oh that's nice, and I do recall a Blaise, he was in Slug Club, with me." I told him, not adding how rude he was to me back them.

Suddenly as if Draco got an idea, he looked at his parents.

"Can Blaise stay with us a couple of weeks? That way Hermione can get to know some new people." Draco asked looking back and forth at his parents.

"What a grand idea! Invite him over after dinner!" Narcissa said to her son.

Wow it's almost like I foreshadowed this whole thing! I feel happy right now. I shouldn't because from what I recall he was very rude, but im so glad another human being is coming!

After dinner, I went into the gardens, I saw Draco sitting their by the pond. I went and sat next to him. We just looked at each other for a bit, then watched the duck's swim around. It was nice and quiet. He looked like he was thinking of saying something, but decided against it. I think I felt disappointed. I truly wanted to hear what he was going to say, it was probably something stupid, but you never know.

After that I took the extremely long walk to my room. I laid in bed for awhile, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly, I heard a noise at the window. It was an owl. I went and got it. I was so surprised because it was a letter from Harry. I almost jumped for joy, but stopped myself, because it was most likely Harry cursing me out and tell me to fuck off. I really hope not, but you never know.

I finally built up the courage to open the letter, and I couldn't believe what I read.
