This chapter is dedicated to roni2010 for being the tenth reviewer!
I got five reviews for chapter two, which gives this story a grand total of eleven reviews! I was hoping for twelve in total, but eleven's still good:D
Also, when I said the house had four bathrooms, I meant one on the ground floor, another on the second floor, the en suite in the master bedroom, and one on in the basement. I hope that clears some confusion up!
This chapter is basically describing the house. So there's not much happening in this chapter. I hate it when I don't know what a room looks like, so I put up pictures of what the rooms would look like on my profile. The backyard link has been giving me some trouble, so it might not work.
So, Read, review and enjoy!
"Oh my god, this is amazing!" Hermione exclaimed as the group stepped out of their car.
In front of them stood a large, four bedroom house with an expansive garden and beautiful patio work.
"It's really beautiful," Draco agreed.
"Can we go into the house now, Dad?" Damon asked, whining slightly.
"Okay," Draco said, pulling the keys out of his pocket.
The small, magical family walked up to the French doors of the suburban house. Draco slid the key into the keyhole and pushed open the door quietly, glancing around his surroundings.
The mahogany floors were glossy and dark in colour. Immediately off the hall, Draco noticed, was a sitting room; the type that had furniture that looked too fragile to touch, and decorations that seemed expensive. It had crème coloured
walls, and a sofa facing two chairs and a table with fresh flowers sitting in between the pieces of furniture. There was a fireplace, and two floor to ceiling windows directly behind the chairs.
While Draco explored the sitting room, Hermione turned to talk to Damon.
"Sweetie, why don't you go upstairs and find your room," Hermione suggested, with a hand placed on the boy's shoulder.
"Sure, Mum," Damon answered, running up the stairs.
Hermione looked as her son ran up the glossy stairs, and then continued to explore the home the moment his feet disappeared from view.
She investigated another room that was adjacent to the hallway. The room, which seemed to be a study, had light blue walls with a large, bay window on one side. There were wooden bookshelves on the far wall. In the center of the room was a two-sided desk, which looked more or less like two identical desks pressed against each other. The desks had the same type of wood as the bookshelf, except with metal attachments on the left side, and computers on the far right side on each. The room was just how Hermione had expected it to be; fresh and stylish.
Hermione headed to the kitchen next, and she was pleased with what she saw.
The dark, granite countertops and medium brown cupboards offset the starch white the walls were decorated in. The only thing that made the walls look slightly more yellowish were the pot lights and three lights, which looked like upside down champagne flutes, which were hanging above the island. Stainless steel appliances complimented the hints of green placed around the room.
Draco smiled as he looked at Hermione from the living room; a large archway permitting him to see the kitchen.
The living room had light blue walls, much like the colour in the study, and two large windows on two walls. An L-shaped, beige coloured, couch sat in the centre of the room, with a brownish- green blanket draped over it. A dark brown coffee table sat on top of a carpet, and a matching side table was immediately beside the couch. The lamp was an interesting combination of gold and two shades of brown, which, for a moment, looked out of place in the room.
The entertainment centre, on the other hand, was a whole different story. A large television sat on a raised spot. Storage space for CD's and DVD's was a foot or two above it. Two shelves hung on either side of the television. The shelves held wine glasses and pottery, as well as books and a picture of what he supposed was the customary wedding picture that sat in every happily married couple's home.
"Braydon, do you want to look at backyard?" Hermione asked, coming out of nowhere.
"Sure He-Carrie." Draco fumbled, still getting used to the names.
Hermione pretended to not notice his mix up, and grabbed his hand to lead him to the backyard.
The description of what the backyard was supposed to look like didn't even give it justice.
A large, built in, curvy pool sat surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Deck chairs stood side-by-side only a few feet away from the pool. An outdoor kitchen was placed underneath a permanent structure; a drink bar was off to the side, right at the pool's edge. Off to the side was a glass table, with an umbrella sitting in the centre, just waiting to be opened. The garden held types of flowers for which Hermione didn't even know the names!
While Hermione observed the garden, she noticed one of her new neighbours poking her head through the curtains trying to catch a glimpse at the couple.
"Braydon," Hermione started, keeping a smile on her face. "There's a neighbour looking directly at us. We have to look like we're a loving couple, so hug me now!" Hermione said, continuing to keep that bright smile on her face.
Draco quickly wrapped his arms around his 'wife' as Hermione did the same, and he rested his chin on the top of her head.
And then Hermione did the last thing he ever expected her to do. She looked at him with her newly grey-blue-green eyes, as if she were sending him a telepathic message. Then leaned up and kissed him softly on his lips.
TA-DA! I now present to you chapter three of Undercover Case: 24586. I hope this chapter met all you guys standards. My life has been pretty hectic lately, between school, homework, after school activities and trying to get past my writers block for my other story, Family Planning; I've had no time for this story. I'm hoping to get the next chapter for this story out by the second week of June, so look out for it!
Remember to review!
