"Hermione! Kate is on the phone!"
"Coming mum!" Hermione replied. She ran downstairs and took the phone then sat on the couch.
"Hello. Kate?"
"Hey Hermione." The girl replied.
"What's up?"
"The guys are wondering if we could all go to the mall today. You know, to get some stuff and new clothes for the band.. And just hang out.."
"Sure.. That's a great idea. What time should we meet up though?"
"Umm, how does eleven sound?"
"Perfect. Just let me ask my mum first. I'll be back."
She put the phone down on the table and went into the kitchen where her mother was making lunch.
"Mum?"
Monica looked up at her daughter and replied, "Yes dear? What is it?"
"Kate and the guys are asking if we could go to the mall today.. You know, but things for the band and all. Would it be alright if I go?"
Mrs. Granger nodded, "Sure honey. You can go.. Bring Draco will you. We don't want him alone in this house with your father do we?" she laughed.
Hermione groaned, "Alright."
She exited the kitchen and went into the lounge room. She took the phone she had set on the table and put it against her cheek then spoke, "Kate?"
"Yeah.."
"My mum said okay.. Oh and I have to bring Draco.. So yeah..Mum's orders."
"Its alright.." Kate chuckled, " I'll see you there then..Oh, and we are meeting at YogurtLand. Okay? TTYL."
The two hung up and Hermione made her way upstairs. She got in front of Malfoy's door, knocked, and waited for him to open the door.
"Can I help you Granger?" he sneered.
"Listen Malfoy..I don't want to ask you this, but-"
"Ask me what? That you want me Granger? Want me like every girl at Hogwarts does?"
"No. You smarmy git. The band and I are going to the mall and my mum told me to take you with us.. We are leaving in two hours.. So if I were you, I would go shower now."
"And why should I take a shower now?"
"I take long showers Malfoy. So chop chop. And honestly, what is with you and the color black." She said looking at his attire, "Did you change each and everyone of them to the color black or something?"
She was met with the door slamming right into her face.
"Rude.." she murmured to herself as she made her way into her room to choose the clothes she was to wear for later."Bloody git should be thankful we let him stay here."
xoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxo
"Why the bloody hell are we waiting Granger? Malfoy's don't wait."
"Well, Malfoy.."
Hermione!"
She turned around and saw Bryan and Josh making their way towards her.
"Hey you two.. Where's James and Kate?"
"James had to go get his new frames for his glasses.. I don't know where Kate is."
"I'm right behind you."
The two boys turned around and saw Kate staring at them, her arms folded against her chest.
"Hey Hermione." She faced the two, "where's James?"
"Getting his new frames for his glasses.. or already got them and making his way over here." Bryan said as he spotted James.
"Hey guys.. Sorry I'm late. I went to go-"
"Get your new frame for your glasses.." the two girls finished.
"Yeah.." James faced Draco, "Umm, hey.. Draco right?"
The blonde just nodded.
"Well.." Josh said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go.."
A couple minutes later..
"Hermione.." James asked, "Why aren't you and Draco talking? He's been quiet the whole time.."
Hermione just rolled her eyes. "Forget about him.."
"I heard that Granger."
"Oh, now the great Ferret speaks.."
"Well, what am I supposed to say? I don't really know your friends that much.. I don't know about this place, let alone your people mudblood." He spat.
That was the last straw for Hermione.
"Don't insult muggles like that. You pompus git. At least they care to check if your alive.. I would have just left you. You think you know everything. Just because mostly everyone at Hogwarts trembles at your feet doesn't mean I will as well. Your vile..Your a prat and I am happy that your father is rotting the bloody hell away in Azkaban. And you know what I am happy that I punched you in third year as well."
"Hermione!" her friends exclaimed. Shocked that she would say those things.
Draco stood in front of her. Their bodies just inches apart. Both glaring at each other.
"Don't test me Granger. Don't think your so lucky I didn't hex you the first day. Your lucky Snape took my wand before I could have done anything. Your close to it. And for the record, I don't give a damn about my father. He deserves what he got. And if I were you, I would bloody shut it." He threatened.
"Ookay.. Break it up you two.." Kate said as she got in between the two. She looked at the boys and said, "Uhh, could you three take Draco along. I need to Hermione."
She took her friends arm and pulled her away from the scene.
"Hermione, what was that?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh yes there is.. You've never been that furious before..What-"
"It's nothing Kate.. trust me. We are more worse in school.."
"Hermione, I'm serious.. What is up with you two?"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
"What was that?" James asked.
"What was what?" Draco retorted.
"Look, we know your letting off some steam, but what is up with you and Hermione?"
"Yeah man," said Bryan, "we have never really seen her blow up like that."
"There is nothing between Granger and I.."
"And what is up with you two using your last names.." Josh asked.
"Nothing. We just hate each other."
"But why?" the three asked.
"She's Gryffindor..I'm Slytherin… She is muggle born..and I am a pureblood.. She is friends with Potter and Weasley and I am not.. She is an enemy to me and I am an enemy to her.. Does that help?"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
"Hermione I am serious. Why can't the two of you get along?"
Hermione sighed. She knew Kate wouldn't let go of this problem until she told her.
" He is in Slytherin.. My rival house, as you could say.. Gryffindors and Slytherins have always hated each other.. Its sort of a tradition or so.. But, honestly, the actual hate for him started in 2nd year.. He called me a mudblood."
"What's a mudblood?"
"It means dirty blood. Mudblood is a really foul name for someone who's muggle born. Someone with non magic parents… Someone like me."
Kate nodded.
"Malfoy called me a mudblood when I was defending my friend. It hurt.. Because to them, purebloods, like Malfoy.. I'm just the scum at the bottom of their shoes.. Like I'm useless or something.. He thinks he is all high and mighty.. He thinks he can do whatever he wants because his father is a follower or right hand man of Voldemort. I'll tell you about him next time." She said. She could tell from Kate's expression that she was sondering who the hell this Voldemort person was.
"Hermione, even though I don't really get your school and all. And I know that you two have your complications..But, why won't you two at least try and get along. I mean, who knows. He must like you. Remember what they say about boys picking on girls. The boy must like the girl.."
"well that saying is wrong for me and Malfoy. We hate each other."
"Look. Hermione, all I am saying is that you give him a chance. Get to know him. Maybe he is different than he is in school. Or at least be civil with each other.. And if not for yourself, and I know it might sound a bit selfish, but do it for the band. We really don't want to see you get pissed off while we do our concerts and all.." She laughed.
Hermione thought about it, and she knew she was going to regret it, but why not? Right?
"fine.. But I am only doing this for the band."
Kate smiled and pointed to the four guys who were making their way to them.
"And here they come. Speak of the devil huh?" Kate chuckled.
"Hello ladies..Hermione, you okay?"
"Yes James.. I'm okay. Malfoy."
" Granger."
Kate nudged Hermione's side as the boys gently pushed Draco.
The two locked eyes for a brief moment then spoke.
"Malfoy-"
"Granger-"
"Umm.."
"Ladies first Granger."
"Can we go for a walk..?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah.."
The two walked away leaving Kate and the boys behind. Not even knowing they were given the same lecture.
"Those two just don't know it yet.."
"What are you talking about Kate?" Bryan and Josh asked.
"Well its- Yeah, what are you talking about Kate?"
She shook her head and sat down on the chair next to her. The three followed suit.
"Don't you three knuckleheads notice? Or see?"
"See what?" the three replied.
"Uhgg, you boys are hopeless.."
They looked at her.
She shook her head, "Don't you three thick heads see Draco and Hermione?"
"Well, duh.." said James, "We have eyes. Therefore we can see."
"I know that captain obvious.. I meant the tension between them?"
"What tension?" Bryan asked.
"Don't tell me you don't see it." Kate said exasperated.
"Kate, just get to the freakin' point already.." Josh demanded.
"Hermione and Draco. You three saw them argue. You three saw them bicker. Those two have tension between them. But not just that regular tension..They have that edge..That, sexual tension, as they say."
Josh raised his eyebrow, "Sexual tension?"
Kate sighed in frustration, "You guys are thick."
"Is it our fault that James, Josh, and I don't speak girl, Kate?"
"Can you two just shut up and let Kate finish so I can get a smoothie already."
"Thank you James.. even thought your reason is. Never mind. But yes.. Sexual tension. I mean, when you look at them. Just a while ago when they argued. There was something more to that hate in their eyes..For crying out loud, those two could have been doing it and-"
"Oh geez! Don't finish that sentence Kate. We beg of you."
"Soo.." Hermione said awkwardly."What did you want to talk about?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing." He replied.
The two were just walking around the mall. An awkward silence among them.
"well, I just wanted to say that I am sorry about what I said about your father.. I.I was mad and I-"
"Don't.."
She stopped and looked at him. "Huh?"
"Just." He sighed, "Can we talk about my father later.. At your house.."
"I guess. But Malfoy.."
"Please Granger.." he sounded..broken.
"Okay.."
They started walking again until Hermione came to another halt.
"Okay, here's the thing Malfoy." She held out her hand. "Let's, I don't know, call a truce?" I really don't want any trouble or arguments or fighting for the summer.."
"Draco looked at her then the outstretched hand in front of him.
"I guess we can try and be civil with each other.." he replied then shook her hand.
Hermione let go and smiled, "Can we also try and call each other by our first names, Draco?"
"I'll try..Hermione."
She let out another smiled, "We should go to the others.. They must be wondering where we are.."
The two walked around and found them sitting.
"Finally!" Josh exclaimed.
"You two good?" asked Kate.
"Yes Kate. We're fine.. Now come on..Let's go finish shopping.. Our clothes are getting old."
"But you just bought them like a month ago!" Bryan whined.
They all walked into Vintage Designs. Their favorite clothing and accessories store.
"Alright ladies.. The guys and I have decided that you two should go look and try on your clothes first. Like good gentlemen.."
"Oh how sweet Bryan.." Kate said sarcastically.
"You three are just saying that because you know we take long choosing clothes.."
"Well it's true!" James and Josh exclaimed.
"Oh just shut up already and help carry the clothes." Kate snapped.
Draco just watched with a grin as he watched the boys get treated like pack mules.
An hour later..
"Hermione.. Get in the dressing room. Its your turn."
All four boys groaned.. Kate had taken an hour and thirty minutes choosing and trying on clothes. Not that they were counting.. But..
The curtains opened and Hermione came out wearing a very short black pencil skirt and a white tube top that showed every one of her curves.
Draco was speechless. Bloody hell she looked hot!
"NO!" the three boys beside him chorused. Bringing him back to reality.
"What do you mean 'no' Hermione looks hot." Kate said.
"That's the thing!" Josh said.
"She looks too hot." James added.
"I agree with them.." said Bryan.
James spoke, "Hermione.. You know how Bryan, Josh and I feel about you.. Your like a sister to us.. And we get very protective as if you really are our true sister..I mean, did you see how Draco looked at you when you came out of there? His jaw was practically on the floor!" he looked to his right and saw Draco glaring daggers at him. "No offense or anything.."
"No.. " Draco glared, "its fine.."
James looked back at Hermione who just giggled at them.
She shook her head, "Oh, alright.." she replied. But before she could even get back into the dressing room, a guy, probably the same age as her and Draco, who had brownish blonde hair, and was about 5'10'', went up to Hermione and smiled.
"Hey there.."
"Umm, hi?" Hermione replied. She was holding onto the curtains.
"Is your name google?" he asked.
She shook her head and giggled, "No..Why?"
He smiled again and said, "Because you've got everything I'm searching for."
