Chapter 25: Rainy Day Disasters
It had been almost a month since Harry, Ron and Ginny had visited the Malfoy Manor and the three of them still hadn't come to speaking terms with Hermione. It seemed as though their friendship had been ruined forever.
'I miss talking to Hermione' said Ginny one stormy afternoon to Harry as the two of them lay curled up in front of the fire on a fluffy shag rug.
'Ginny, will you quit it already' said Harry firing up at once
'Quit what?' asked Ginny innocently
'You know bloody well what and Ginny don't tell me that you don't agree with me when I say that she should've told us, we are her friends after all'
'But don't you think it's a little too harsh? Don't you think you were a little too harsh?'
'No' was Harry's simple reply
'But honestly Harry, what would you have done if you were in her position?'
'I wouldn't know, because frankly I never have been and never will be in a situation even remotely close to hers'
'But-'
'Look Ginny, this is her own fault. If she thought about what she was doing when she had the nerve to sleep with Malfoy then she wouldn't be suffering the consequences right now' and with that Harry got up and walked into his bedroom, shutting the door a little too loudly. Ginny just sighed, a single tear rolling down her face as she hugged herself close.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Meanwhile back at the Malfoy Manor, the thunderstorm blazed on outside making the tall trees around the estate sway uncontrollably against the wind. Nick sat at the window in his parent's bedroom watching the foul weather with a mixture of depression and anger painted across his normally adorable face.
'Mummy why is it raining I wanted to go flying' he whined for the millionth time that day
Hermione looked up from her spot on the bed where she sat reading a particularly goo book. 'Nick, dear, I've already told you, no one can be responsible for the weather, it is completely unpredictable, now go and find something else to do.'
'But Mummy-'
'Nick, listen to your mother' said Draco irritably because he had just had to read the same sentence on the papers he was trying to sign three times for it to make any sense. Nick just pouted and looked at his parents before walking out of the room.
'Draco, from now on don't promise him anything unless you know you're actually going to be able to do it' said Hermione, looking at Draco as though this was entirely his fault.
'Believe me I won't' replied Draco frowning at his papers.
Hermione laughed at this and went back to her reading.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Only about ten minutes had passed when there was a loud crash somewhere down the hall that made both Hermione and Draco jump up and run out of the room. They came to a halt in front of a not smashed suit of armour. Draco jumped over the suit and ran down the hall only to find Nick riding his miniature broomstick inside while occasionally bumping into an expensive decoration piece causing it to topple over and smash.
'NICKHOLAS MALFOY' screeched Hermione 'GET OFF THAT BROOM THIS INSTANT'
Nick came to a halt at the top of the staircase and turned back to look at Hermione. 'Mummy I is thinking that if Nick can't ride the broom outside then Nick is just going to have to ride it inside' he said with a cheeky grin.
'Oh no you don't Nick, get of that broom' shouted Hermione
'Nuh-uh' said Nick before turning around and flying down the stairs. Before her had even gotten halfway Draco pulled out his wand and shouted:
'Accio Firebolt'
Both the Firebolt and Nick came flying backwards up the stairs and stopped right in front of Draco. Draco pulled Nick of his broom and carried him back to his room, Hermione at his heels.
'Nick I never want to see this happen again okay?' said Draco looking sternly at Nick
'Yes Daddy' replied Nick looking down at his hands
'Now you are going to find something to do in this room or I won't take you flying for another week' continued Draco. Nick looked up in horror at Draco before nodding ad running to his toy box to find something to play with.
Hermione and Draco left him playing with Wizard Lego and went back to their room.
'I honestly don't know what made him do that' said Hermione huffing
'He just wants attention Granger' said Draco before returning to signing his papers.
Hermione looked at him, sighed, and went back to her reading.
A/N: Short I know but that's all for now guys, I know much didn't happen but I really think this chapter was necessary to keep the flow so that the events that are about to come up aren't just random. REVIEW!
