Last time:
"Funny one Granger, Funny one." he said with a dramatic roll of the eyes, " You should get some sleep too Granger, Merlin knows what you look like in the morning with out the wand to help you out." He smirked.
"Oh stuff it Malfoy." she huffed and laughed, heading for the room she had placed her stuff in earlier.
Now:
The next morning, Draco was ripped from his slumber by a pounding on his door, "Wake up Malfoy, we have a lot to do today." The female voice shouted from the other side of the door.
"Too early, go away." He mumbled, placing the pillow over his face.
"You have till the count of three before I come in after you." she replied, Draco didn't move.
"1...2...3, alright, I'm coming in." she warned before pushing the door open. Draco pushed the pillow over his head harder, going with the theory of ' if I cant see them, they cant see me'. He could hear the footsteps coming closer to his bed.
"She wont do anything, she'll just get flustered and leave on her own." he thought to himself. Unfortunatly, those thoughts were short lived as he felt someone grab his ankle and pull him out of bed, causing him to land on the floor in an undignified heap.
"Thats not nice Granger" he growled, blowing a loose strand of hair from his face.
"I gave you plenty of warning before I came in" she smirked, "Now get yourself prettied up, we need to get moving."
Draco flopped back down on he ground and groaned. Hermione laughed and left his room, giving him privacy.
Twenty minutes later, Draco emerged from his room with a look of complete grumpiness, "I'm hungry" he stated.
"We will get some McDonald's or something on the way, now go get in the taxi and wait."
"Taxi?" he asked
"Small version of he night bus. Just climb in and don't speak." she added
Draco resisted, he really did and managed to get himself into the waiting car without tripping her on the way. They reached her parents house once again, and bypassed the main part, heading straight out to the garage. She opened the garage door and sighed. Her car was still parked in the same spot, right between her parents cars.
"Why three cars?" he asked
"The black one is mine, the blue one was my dads and the white was my mums."
"Your parents didn't ride together?"
"Not all the time, they each had things to do on their own, just like I did. Just stand to the side so I can pull my car out without hitting you."
Draco complied, not willing to risk if she was a bad driver or not. Hermione got in the car and pulled out of the cramped garage.
"Well she didn't hit anything." Draco laughed to himself as he watched her climb out and raise the hood.
"What are you doing now?" he asked moving closer to her.
"I'm checking the cars fluids. I has been sitting for a while and I need to make sure it is safe to drive." she replied with a shrug. Draco watched her pull little sticks out of he motor, wiping them clean before reinserting them. She checked the radiator, brake fluid, fan belts, washer fluid and smiled when everything seemed to be in order.
"You just gave your car a check up" he laughed
"You have to, or you will find yourself walking." she replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Now get in, sit down, and look pretty." she smirked. Draco glared but complied. He was tense at first, but once he realized she was actually pretty good, he allowed himself to calm down and remove his nails from the dash and armrest.
"Have you ever been grocery shopping before?" she asked
"Never" he answered
"Do you even know how it works?" she asked
"Not really"
Hermione hung her head, "When we get there, just follow my lead. You will need to pick out food you like so you have stuff to eat whenever you want."
They arrived at a large grocery store about 10 minutes later. Draco followed Hermione into the store and to the cart corral.
"Grab a cart Malfoy, you will need it to put your stuff in."
Draco looked at the cart with the baby seat in the front, "This is for women!" he frowned, looking like he had just been slapped.
"It is not, lots of men use them when they go shopping." she retorted, hiding the snicker she wanted to let out so bad. The image of Draco Malfoy, pushing a grocery cart was just too much.
"A bunch of Nancy men maybe." he grumbled, but pulled the cart out anyway. They made their way through the store, stopping at random spots to place things in the cart. Draco had discovered the baby seat folded flat, so of course, he folded it and fastened it shut with the seat belt, stating that he had a manly cart now. Both carts were pretty full of groceries when Hermione realized they had forgotten some important things. She led him to the aisle that held the toilet paper and paper towels, which Draco protested saying he would not allow the toilet paper to be seen in his cart, then headed to the cleaning supplies and hygiene aisles.
They finally went to the check out, where Draco watched with fascination as the woman scanned each item over the glass and the price appeared in block letters on a little screen. Hermione actually laughed out loud as the woman scanned a box of tampons, causing Draco to instantly point to Hermione.
"Her cart was full, I had no choice." he stuttered while his ears turned red. The woman laughed, "Don't worry, I see it all the time." she reassured, but it didn't stop his ears from glowing.
They drove back to the flat and unloaded the groceries before heading to a furniture store. The store was not the most expensive Draco had ever seen, but it was definitely not one to be laughed at either.
"So let me guess, you are going to buy Gryffindor red couches." he smirked
"Nope, actually, I think I like those black leather ones over there." she replied, pointing to a very modern looking set up.
"Now thats surprising." he said honestly.
"Ahh, you just don't anything about me other then what you learned at school." she laughed. She walked over to the couch and sat on it, moving her butt around as if testing it, before bouncing a little.
"I think I'll be getting these, they are even more comfortable then I thought." she said as she leaned back.
Draco was about to comment on how she tested the furniture, when a well dressed man approached.
"Good morning, I'm Steve" he introduce himself, "Is there something you are interested in?"
"Good morning Steve" Hermione said with a smile, "I have actually decided to to buy this living room set."
Steve smiled, "Nice choice. This set is pretty popular, most say it is extremely comfortable and doesn't break down easily." he added
"It feels comfortable from what I've tested it." she answered, " I also need to purchase a new bedroom set and a kitchen set, can you help me with that as well?"
"Certainly, come right this way." he replied, holding his arm out for her to take. Draco watched in shock as the bookworm prude of Gryffindorks, actually flirted. He followed the pair to an area with beds, dressers, lamps, and anything else that had to do with a bedroom. Hermione walked through the beds, stopping to test a few as she passed.
"I think I like this one" she announced, flopping back on the overstuffed mattress. Draco watched as Steve's eyes wondered over Hermione's body and shook his head.
"Good choice" Steve stated, "Is the bed itself to your liking or just the mattress."
"Just the mattress, I actually like the queen sized, four poster canopy bed over in the corner."
"Very well, Ill have them add both" Steve stated.
Draco started to walk around, he be damned if Granger got a new bed while he was stuck on a twin sized bed that was hard as a rock. He selected a bed similar to Hermione's, only instead of a deep cheery wood, he chose black. Once they had picked out everything they wanted, Steve led them up to the counter where Hermione paid for her purchases in cash, nearly giving Steve heart palpitations. Draco paid for his bed as well and waited to see what happened next.
Hermione gave Steve her address for the delivery guys and requested both orders be delivered as soon as possible. When Draco and Hermione left the store, Draco couldn't help but laugh, "I cant believe you flirted with him."
"I did not, I was just being...nice." she stated
"I know what I witnessed Granger, I'm just saying I never knew you had it in you."
"yeah, well, now that I cant use magic, I'll be using my girly ways a lot more then I ever needed too."
"What does that mean?" he asked with a quirked eyebrow
Hermione smirked, "Just wait till the delivery guys get to the flat."
