Last time:

"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."

Now:

The next morning, Hermione and Draco were in the kitchen eating breakfast when the door bell rang. Hermione was sure it was the delivery guys so she told Draco to stay in the kitchen and not make any noise.

"I see no point in hiding in here Granger."

"You need to stay in here or act like your hurt." she whispered

"Hurt? What are you on about?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, " Okay. I want you to listen to me carefully. If they see you, they will wonder why you, a man, cannot put this furniture together. If you stay in here it avoids the entire thing, If you come out and act hurt, they more then likely wont say anything, but you you go out there like you own the place, they are going to think you're a poof."

Draco looked offended, "I am not a poof."

"Draco, I know that... you know that...they... don't know that and will think you are a wimpy poof."

Draco frowned, "Fine... I'll stay out of sight." he huffed.

Hermione gave a cheeky smile and left the kitchen to let the delivery guys in. Draco managed to sit at the table for about five minutes before he couldn't stand it and went to the door to watch without being seen. The first thing he noticed was two delivery guys, both good looking even by his standards, then he noticed Hermione with a huge smile on her face. The two delivery guys were puffing out their chest as Hermione giggled, causing Draco to roll his eyes.

"Cant they tell they are being used?" He thought to himself. He continued to watch while drinking a glass of juice. Hermione was standing in the corner with a sweet smile, pointing to where she wanted everything and to Draco's surprise they were doing it.

"Merlin, she could tell them to put it on the ceiling and they would find a way." he mumbled.

"All thats left are the beds" The tall dark haired delivery guy that Draco gathered his name was Shaun.

What Draco saw next made him almost spit out his juice. Hermione smiled and walked over to Shaun with that innocent smile she was all to good at.

"I know you don't have to, but to you think you could set up my bed for me?" she then grabbed Shaun's arm and gave it a squeeze, "You are so strong and I just don't think I can manage it on my own."

"I'd be more then happy to put it together for you." Shaun replied with a smile. Hermione threw her arms around his neck, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." she said sweetly.

Draco almost laughed when Shaun puffed out his chest again, swelling with man ego.

"Anything for a beautiful lady." Shaun replied before walking out to get the bed from the truck.

Draco couldn't take it, he wanted front row seats for the rest of the show. He straightened out his clothes, turned his foot to the side and walked out of the kitchen, dragging his foot behind him.

Hermione noticed him instantly," OH...MY...GOD." and started laughing hysterically at Draco's antics. He gave a quick smirk then turned his face into one of pain as Shaun and Dustin, the other delivery guy, walked back in.

Shaun temporarily froze at the sight of the good looking blond man.

"Shaun, Dustin, this is my brother Draco."

Shaun visibly relaxed as Draco limped over to shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you." Draco said innocently

"Likewise... umm, if your in pain the couch is already set up." Shaun suggested looking at Draco's pained face.

"Oh I'll be fine... Just a bowling injury. The game is brutal you know."

Hermione turned bright red, trying her damnedest to not laugh. Shaun furrowed his eyebrows and shrugged, "uhh, yeah, so I've heard."

Shaun then walked back over to Hermione with a huge grin, "Which bed is yours?"

"The wooden colored one. The black one is my brothers."

"Dustin, can you set up Draco bed while I work on Hermione's?"

Dustin frowned and rolled his eyes, he wanted to work on Hermione's bed not her stupid brothers.

"Sure, I'll get right on it." Dustin replied in a sulking voice.

An hour later, both beds were completely set up and ready to go. Hermione turned to Shaun and Dustin as they reached the door.

"You two are the sweetest men. Thank you for taking the time to set the beds up."

Both men beamed at her praise while Draco tried to hold back his vomit. Dustin walked to the truck leaving Shaun at the door.

"So I'll pick you up Friday night? Around say 7." Shaun asked

"Sounds perfect." Hermione beamed. Shaun then picked up her hand and gave it a small kiss.

"Until Friday" he said before walking out the door.

Hermione watched until both men were in the truck before shutting the door. She turned to see a confused Draco.

"You made a date with the delivery guy?" he asked in surprise

"Yes I did. He is good looking and witty." she replied.

Draco wasn't upset with this development for the most part, but Hermione was his only contact in the muggle world and he didn't like the idea of being alone most of the time because lover boy Shaun needed a date.

"Do what you want." he said and sulked off to investigate his room leaving Hermione staring behind him.

A few hours later, Hermione knocked on Draco's closed door.

"Come" he said from behind the door.

Hermione opened the door and frowned at how few possessions Draco actually had with him. His room was bare except the bed which didn't even ha e sheets on it.

"Umm, I was going to go shopping to get some sheets and stuff and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me." she asked

"Sure, I need to pick up a few things myself."

An hour later, Draco and Hermione hit the stores. They went to a store that specialized in linens, where Draco picked up four sets of silk sheets and a dozen black, fuzzy towels with complementing wash clothes. Hermione laughed at his expensive taste while she found the nice cotton sheets, an assortment of different colored bath towels. She also picked up curtains, a table cloth and a set of bathroom rugs.

The next store they went to was an electronic store. Draco was completely confused at all the different gadgets that were various shapes, colors and sizes. Hermione picked up a television, DVD player, a stereo, three phones, a radio for the shower and a computer with all the accessories. She then led Draco over to the cell phones and insisted he pick one out, after all, every muggle in the world had cell phones.

As they walked out of the electronics store, Draco started to whine.

"Can we please stop and get something to eat?"

Hermione sighed, "All men ever do is eat."

"Hey, we men need our food or else we end up weak."

"Fine, come on the is a little restaurant around the corner."

They placed their purchases in the trunk of the car and the TV in the back seat before walking the short distance to the restaurant. After they ate, Hermione drug Draco to a store that revolved around mens needs. Draco walked around the store poking at things while Hermione explained what everything was. He ended up with an electric razor, manly decoration for his room and some muggle clothes.

They ended up going to three more stores before finally relenting and going back to the flat, both completely exhausted. They spent the next few hours setting things up before both collapsed on the couch.

"You know" Draco started, "I never really appreciated magic until I couldn't use it."

Hermione gave out a weak laugh, "Magic definitely has its advantages."

Draco nodded and yawned, "I'm just going to rest for a few then shower and go to bed."

"Same here." she answered, leaning back and closing her eyes. Draco allowed his head to rest against the back of the couch and before either of them knew it, they were sound asleep on the couch together.
