REVIEWERS……WHATS HAPPENING!
COME ON! SOME ENTHUSIASM PLEASE
IM STARTING TO THINK U GUYS DON'T LIKE THE STORY… (TEARDROP)
ANYWAYS... (SNIFFLE)….ON WITH IT:
It had been a week since Hermione had agreed to the deal. Dumbledore had given her a temporary room in Hogwarts much against the wishes of the ministry in fear of leaving her to the streets.
It was late on Friday night when Dumbledore came knocking at her door. She let him in and they proceeded to the sofa in front of the fire.
"Miss Granger, we have searched far and wide to find a family not only suitable financially to support you but that would be of benefit to you socially, professionally outside of Hogwarts and acceptance wise into the Magical society. We have done a number of tests and considered a number of factors…"
"I am prepared for anything sir." She said, her head held up high, a teardrop forming in her eyes. There were only two months left before school started again. Only two months.
"You are to live with the Malfoy Family."
Suddenly the teardrop threatening to spill out fell with a sickening splash as it broke the silence of the room. Hermione sat in shock, unable to move, speak or even fully breathe. The Malfoy family. She had so many questions.
Why were they willing to take her in? Didn't they hate the muggle-born? Was their an ulterior motive? What would Draco say? Whose idea was it to take her in? Wh.."
Her thoughts were interrupted as Dumbledore expressed his deepest apologies. It seems that although he voiced to the ministry the bad blood between them, it seemed them the most logical choice. He had no say in the matter…
Hermione swallowed a lump in her throat and said, "I understand sir. I do. I promise to be on my best behavior and not allow the bad blood between me and Malfoy to affect my work, attitude, or composure."
"I am glad Miss Granger." With that, he left. Leaving Hermione to ponder and prepare for the next day.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hermione sat silently on the train, willing her tears away as she drove towards the house of her most hated enemy to serve him for the rest of the time as she owed anyone money.
This was going to be a long summer…
When she arrived, Hermione was almost dumbfounded by the magnificence of it all. She had seen mansions before but this house nearly put Hogwarts to shame. She was going to have to clean every window, mop and sweep every floor, dust every piece of furnisher… This was going to be hell…
She proceeded slowly towards the door, struggling with her bags. She had been instructed by the minister of magic that this family wished her to do all things by hand unless otherwise instructed…..WHAT THE HELL!?
Before she could even knock the door, it was opened by a tall thin man in a black suit, purple shirt and black tie. He appeared rather regal although by his tag she could see he was nothing but a mere butler.
"Follow me." He said simply, not bothering to offer to help her with her bags. How rude!
She followed slowly behind him, trudging along with the weight of her things, admiring all the wonders around her. She never knew anyone could live this good. No wonder people were starving on the streets and could find jobs to pay them enough money. These people had all the money!
Soon, after about 3 flights of stairs and a few snickers as the guy saw her lagging behind, they reached a huge door. The butler knocked three times, waited a second and knocked again. She wondered silently to herself if eh had to knock like that or chose to….
The door creaked open and an eerie glow shined through……
"Enter," Said a calm almost creepy voice. She knew that voice….
YES I KNOW THESE CHAPTERS ARE SHORT BUT I HAVE A REASON FOR MAKING THEM THIS WAY! PLEASE DON'T BE UPSET WITH ME…
IT WILL ALL PAY OFF IN THE END…..I SWEAR…
ANYWAYS…..READ AND REVIEW
REVIEWS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
