Chapter 4: Dinner with the Malfoy's
Hermione pov:
When the boy looked at me after spinning he fell on the ground. At first I stifled a laugh but then I noticed he didn't immediately get back up. I ran toward him and slid to my knees.
He tried to get up "don't move you could have a concussion" I said shoving him down "how old are you, how many fingers am I holding up, what did you eat for supper last night, DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU COULD GO INTO A COMA" I said worriedly, Narcissa will kill me if I kill him.
"would you shut up your giving me a head ach, I am ten and that's nun of your business, and your not even holding up fingers, you stupid girl." some how through all of this his head ended up on my lap.
"well I think your fine," i said and because he didn't realize I was moving his head hit the dirt.. hard. Once I got up I turned around and headed back in the house after hearing a yelp and something that sounded like 'bloody girls are no use' or something along those lines. I walked toward the doors and walked in only turning around to close the doors even though I felt a pair of eyes watching me. After I shut the door and tuned toward the hallway a pop echoed and then an elf stood in front of me.
"mistress said to take miss Hermione to her room once she comes back in." squeaked the little elf.
" hello that is very kind of you. What is your name I don't recall it sorry," I said to the elf. The elf got big eyes and then started tearing up a little.
"my names Flopsy miss. Flopsy has never been spoken to with such kind words miss. If you need anything just please ask Flopsy anything at all and I will do it," she said crying. Once she controlled herself she took my hand and popped us to my room.
The room was huge it had a vanity, one of the biggest beds I've ever seen, a walk in closet, a mirror, a little sitting area, along with a connected bathroom. The room was dark blue and it had trees painted on the walls all over the room and then the stars on the top most part.
" It called the forest room miss will it due. If not I can have your things moved to a different room..." said the elf shyly.
"Will it due this room is amazing thank you Flopsy," I said to the elf. The house elf had tears in her eyes then she bowed down so low that her nose touched the hard wood floor.
"Miss can call Flopsy and I will come and do what even you wish I have to go back to the kitchens now. Don't forget Flopsy can help with anything," Flopsy said then she disappeared with a crack.
I walk around my room in a daze. This whole room just for me it's huge. I'll have to remember to thank Narcissa tonight at dinner. I took a look at the time it was 5:30 PM, so I decided to freshen up before dinner.
I walked into the bathroom everything was made of marble. It had a waterfall like shower with a bunch of different kind of expensive looking soaps. It had a small pool like bathtub with a bunch of faucets which were color coated. A toilet of course. A sink also made of marble with enough room to put my toiletries on and a sheet of paper that explained the colored faucets
Pink- sweet peaBrown- nutmeg
Purple- lavender
Yellow- vanilla
Blue- ocean mist
White- coconut
Red- strawberries
Green- spearmint
Orange- peaches
Gold- honey
Cream- oranges
I read them off in my head I decided to have a bath. I tuned the faucets for honey and vanilla. I stripped my clothing off my small frame and got into the warmish water I swam around the small pool and then noticed by the side of the pool there was vanilla and honey scented shampoo. I love magic. After washing my long thick curly hair I washed it out and got out of the bath. I grabbed a big fluffy white towel and walked into my room I grabbed my clothes out of my closet and through them on I looked in the mirror.
"Oh honey you seriously aren't thinking about wearing that to dinner with the Malfoy's are you? Well let me help you." the mirror said after I jumped about a foot into the air. I looked in the mirror and my clothes changed into a mid thigh length dress it was white, and it tied around my neck. It looked quite good but a little short for my liking.
"Now for your hair where you actually going to leave it like that?" asked the mirror.
I looked in the mirror once again and my hair turned into nice ringlets that look quite nice I must admit.
"Now your ready for dinner and right on time too. Someone should be coming to get you soon," said the mirror once again.
There was a nock on the door. "I'll be back to deal with you," I said to the mirror.
I walk to the door while the pounded on the door continued. "I'm coming, I'm coming, keep your pants on." I yelled.
I through open the door and saw the blonde that was kicking at the flowers. He looked over at me first shocked then mad.
"What the he'll are you doing here, who are you," he said to me.
"Me what about you what are you doing here, who are you," I said just as mad.
"I live here, and was supposed to escort a miss Hermione Granger to diner. I'm Draco Malfoy," he yelled at me.
"Well I'm Hermione Granger, and I was invited to live here for a month by Narcissa Malfoy," I told him.
He looked upset with the news. He gave me a glare then spun his heal and started down the hallway. I contemplated if I should follow him or wait and see if I could get there myself. I ended up fallowing his fast walk. Sometimes I had to run just to make sure he stayed in sight. After one stair case, three hallways, and quite a few turns. He finally opened a door that lead to a huge dinning hall there was a fire place at the end of the room, portraits on the walls, and a huge table that had to be at least 100 feet long.
"Ah Hermione , Draco glad you could join us," Narcissa said to us. Draco quickly walked to his seat and sat down he looked over at me and smirked at my discomfort.
"Hermione you can sit across from Draco I believe you meet," Narcissa said. I walked to my seat and sat down Draco's smirk faltered a little bit.
"We've meet," I said coldly looking directly at him. Narcissa looked between us.
"I hope he was a gentlemen," she said to me. Now he looked scared he watched me with pleading eyes.
"Yes of course he was," I said. Malfoy looked relived and Narcissa smiled and looked away. 'you owe me' I mouthed to him. He looked scared and slightly angry but he very stiffly gave me a small nod then looked anywhere, but at me. I inwardly smirked.
"Hermione dear I'm so sorry I'm being rude I forgot to introduce you to everyone please forgive me," she said smiling sweetly.
"There's nothing to forgive." I simply stated. She smiled so I smiled back.
"This is Mrs. Zabini" she said indicating to the women on her left she was very pretty. Her skin was slightly darker and she had black hair. She had a blood red dress on and it looked lovely on her.
"And next to her is her son Blasé Zabini," she said. The boy next to her looked over at me checked me out then, smiled and then winked at me. The nerve. He had dark skin to and had a very formal suit on. I narrowed my eyes a little but gave him a nod.
"Next to Blasé is his two half sister Destiny and Hope," the where both spitting images of there mother but they had green dresses on. They smiled at me and I smiled back.
"This is Mrs. Nott," she said indicating to the person on her left. She was beautiful too she had dark long red hair and had a lavender dress on.
"Next to her is her son Theodore Nott," I looked at him he had hard eyes a strong jaw, and was wearing formal wear that looked good with his tan. He kept his eyes on my face and gave me a stiff nod and I smiled back.
"Next to him is Gregory Goyle," I nodded to him and he did the same. He was on the chubbier side but not to bad.
"Next to you is Mrs. Goyle," she was quite large to but I've seen bigger. But to hide her curves she had a flattering dress on.
"Next to you is my daughter Ariana," she said. I turned facing her She was pretty very fine strait blonde hair. Deep blue eyes with a little bit of grey. She had a dress on that was like mine but it was black instead of white.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," I said sweetly.
"The pleasure is all mine I assure you," she said to me. Narcissa smiled.
"On the other side of Draco is Astoria and then Daphne Greengrass then there mother Mrs. Greengrass," said Narcissa. The three women like quite a bit alike but Daphne looked younger then Astoria. They had pale skin and black hair. While wearing a formal dresses. They smiled and smiled and nodded back.
"Next to Ariana is Pansy Parkinson's then her mother next to her," Narcissa stated. They both had kind of a pug nose with black hair and also wearing a dress.
"Next to Mrs. Parkinson is Mrs. Pusey and across for her is her son Adrian," she told me Adrian was quite handsome with his pale skin and dark hair with nice clothes on. His mother was also pale and had dark hair but she was very small and had a dress on. I gave then each a smile and Adrian gave me a smirk while him mother smiled.
"Well now that you know everyone you should now all the children will be staying here till we have to head off to kings cross," Narcissa smiled then she clapped her hands and said "let's eat" and food appeared before us.
Everything was going smoothly up to dessert when Flopsy came in.
"Mistress Flopsy has a urgent letter to miss Granger," Flopsy said.
"Well be quick about it," she said a little upset. The little elf ran to me and handed me the letter and ran out. I opened the letter and read
Dear miss Granger,
We are sad to inform you than tonight between 4:00 and 7:32 we found your father Mr. Granger dead in an ally. All we know so far is that he was murdered and there was a fight. If we rind out anything more we will inform you. Again we are sorry to inform you. Hoping you are well.
Sincerely,
Mafelda Hofcurk
Head of the Aura office
My hands started to shake and I dropped the letter.
"Nar-cissa can I please be excused." I said trying to try not to lose it.
"Of course dear. Are you ok? " she asked me I stiffly nodded and then turned and left the room.
A/N sorry Hermione hope one day you'll forgive me. Oh so what's going to happen next. How's Hermione going to take the news? please review my self esteem kind of depends on it please and thank you. And just incase anyone was wondering the reason I spelt Gryffindor wrong was cause my computer wasn't agreeing with me and I had to write that summary five times and when it finally worked I wrote it fast and didn't look sorry I just wanted to start the story, sorry it's a crime to make a mistake!
