Chapter Two: Time Goes On

Draco and Hermione soon became friends, talking, laughing and learning together. After four years, when they were both nine, summer came quickly for them after months of learning.

Hermione walked by herself to Draco's house. The sun hung high overhead and a breeze lightly played with her long brown curls. She jumped up the steps and knocked on the door, then let herself in as she had done several times before.

The sight before her made her stop in her tracks.

Lucius stood, confronting a tall man with greesy black hair. They didn't notice her enter the room.

"What are you doing here?" Lucius hissed. Hermione continued to stare, open mouthed at the man and Lucius.

"I came to inform you that I have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am the Potions professor and head of Slytherin now." The tall man continued to gaze at Lucius.

"Well, that's wonderful. But I really can't have you stay here. Draco's friend is coming over and she can't see you. She doesn't know." Lucius moved his eyes toward the door but didn't see Hermione because she was still quite short.

"You mean to tell me that Draco is friends with a muggle?" The black-haired man's countenance changed from calm to angry.

"Well, yes. She's his teacher's daughter. They don't know anything about us though, Snape." Luciua assured the man. The man called Snape relaxed.

"Well, I suppose it will do no harm as long as she and her mother don't learn a thing."

"They won't. I made Draco promise not to tell. Even if they asked specfic questions." Lucius said, looking visably relieved.

Hermione realized the conversation was coming to a close and quietly backed up, opened the door and hurried out, closing it behind her. She sighed in relief that she wasn't caught. But she was confused and her curiosity was sparked.

'What are the Malfoys hiding? What do they not want me and my mom to know?'

She decided to try and find out from Draco. She gained her quiet, happy composure and rang the doorbell.

Seconds later the door opened and Lucius stood before her.

"Good afternoon, Hermione." He said. Hermione smiled, although it was hard, realizing now that he was hiding something from her. "Come on in." he said. He moved aside. Hermione entered the house and slipped off her sandals.

"Hi, Mr. Malfoy." She greeted. "Where's Draco?"

"He's in the downstairs playroom." Lucius told her.

"Thanks." She called over her shoulder as she started toward the descending stairs.

As she went to the playroom, she realized something. How had the man Snape gotten here? He couldn't have walked. She wouldn't have seen him as he passed her house. And there was no car in the Malfoys driveway.

"Draco?" she called into the empty playroom as she entered it. "Where are you?"

She circled the room slowly, looking in every possible place for the blond-haired boy.

"Sorry, I was helping mum." Draco said as he entered the room. Hermione whirled around to face Draco. "Did I scare you?" He asked.

"Not really, startled me is all." Said Hermione.

"Oh." Draco looked disappointed.

"What are we going to do today?" she asked.

Draco launched into a list of possiblities and Hermione forgot the worries that poked at her young mind.

A/N: I really want more comments and reviews on this story. With the way that many people aren't reviewing I'm guessing it's not a good story, so please review.
