Last time:
"You cant drive on a real road unless you have a muggle drivers license which requires you to take a driving test."
"When can we go?" Draco asked, ready to get started
"Whenever you want?" Hermione replied. "and if you pass, I'll take you to a car dealer so you can get your own cars."
Now:
The Malfoy men piled into the car faster the Hermione imagined. She explain everything they would have to do and made sure they realized a muggle would be riding with them to grade them. They both seemed alright with the idea, the urge to have a car of their own winning over anything else.
When they arrived, Lucius and Draco had to fill out some paperwork and were instructed what was to take place, looking to Hermione to make sure the information was correct. The first to test was Draco, he walked around the car, making sure the tires were good to go before sliding into the driver seat. A short, stubby bald man slid into the passenger seat, clipboard in hand.
"Are you ready to begin Mr. Malfoy?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
The man watched Draco check the mirror, the blinker thingies and the gages before snapping his seat belt shut and starting the car.
"Very good Mr. Malfoy, you'd be surprised on ow many over look the safety of their vehicles." the man stated with a toothless grin, causing Draco to laugh mentally.
Draco made his way to the start of the course, making sure he didn't screw anything up. Draco made sure he turned his blinker on when he turner or switched lanes, came to a complete stop at a stop sign or traffic light then counted to three before accelerating to the next part of the course.
The man sat silently, marking the clip board as they went.
"Am I passing yet?" Draco asked
"Almost son, we still need to see how well you do at parking."
Draco cringed as the man called him son,
"I want you to park between those two orange cones, without hitting them."
"Those tiny cones? They are much smaller the the house el...err, umm, house plants we were using." Draco stated, glad he caught his slip up.
Draco used extra concentration as he parked perfectly between the cones and placed the car in park.
"Very well, Draco, I am passing you. You will need to take this paper inside and they will issue your license."
Draco drove back to the beginning of the course so Lucius could take his test.
"How'd you do?" Hermione asked
"I passed" he replied, holding up the little yellow paper.
Hermione squealed and jumped into his arms, placing tiny kisses on his face. Lucius rolled his eyes at the affection she was showing while the bald man smiled, "Young Love" he said as he wiped a tear from his eyes.
"What a fruit" Lucius thought to himself before climbing into the driver seat, checking everything before he started.
Lucius fastened the seat belt and drove to the beginning of the course, waiting for further instructions.
"Have you ever had a license before?" the man asked Lucius
"No, this will be my first."
The man gave Lucius a funny look, "A little old to just get around to getting your license." the man stated, earing a growl from Lucius.
The test started and Lucius maneuvered the car as needed, stopping and yielding when required.
"Alright Mr. Malfoy, please park between the cones."
Lucius did as requested and parked flawlessly.
"Congratulations, you have passed." the man stated.
Lucius nodded and Drove back over to Draco and Hermione, still fuming about the man comment on his age. As Lucius parked the car, the man handed him the paper so he could get his license.
"Thank you" Lucius replied before growing a smirk, "You may want to consider using soap when you bathe, you smell like rotting cheese."
The man gave Lucius a go to hell look before stomping off.
"What was that about?" Hermione asked
"He said I was old, I'm a Malfoy, we never grow old." he stated, pointing his nose up.
Hermione chuckled, "come on children, lets get you licenses."
Thirty minutes later, the three walked out of the drivers license office, two of which were frowning.
"It's not that bad." Hermione laughed
"Not that bad? My picture looks like a mug shot." Lucius frowned
"At least the light didn't make your hair look like it was glowing, I look like a bloody light bulb." Draco stated.
Hermione rolled her eyes and drove the pair to a car dealership that specialized in exotic and well made cars. They were greeted by a man, only a few years older then Draco and Hermione. The man seemed to move past Draco and Lucius, quickly grabbing Hermione's hand and placing a kiss on her knuckles. If looks could kill, the man would have been dead twice from the looks Draco and Lucius cast his way.
"I'm Tom, how may I help you today?"
"We are looking for two cars and I would be most appreciative if you would take your lips from my girlfriends hand." Draco growled
"Sorry sir, I didn't realize this lovely young lady was taken." he said with a wink in her direction.
"I must not hex, I must not hex, I must not hex" Draco repeated in his mind.
Tom quickly made an assessment of the two men before showing them to a few cars.
"Any color preference?"
"Black" both replied in unison
"Any price range?"
"Money isn't an object" Lucius stated
"But I wont allow them to be taken for a ride Tom, I know the value of the cars." Hermione interjected.
"I would never even think to try such a thing." Tom replied, lying through his teeth.
Lucius eye was instantly caught by a huge car, "What is that?" he asked, pointing to a black hummer.
"This is a hummer, very well built but takes a bit more fuel then normal cars."
Lucius turned to Hermione, "Does it look manly to you?"
Hermione laughed, "Yes it looks manly."
"Good, I'd like to give it a good look."
Tom opened the hummer, giving Lucius free range to inspect the vehicle. By the time Tom turned around, Draco and Hermione had made their way over to a black BMW.
"is this a worthy brand?" Draco asked
"Yes, its a good as mine" Hermione replied
Tom approached the pair, Draco instantly grabbing Hermione hand to show he wasn't to be trifled with. Tom smirked at the gesture, but didn't allow Draco to see.
"This is a nice sized car, one of the best made."
"I'd like to see the inside a little closer." Draco stated in an even tone
Tom opened the car, allowing both Hermine and Draco to enter. They quietly discussed the features of the car, but were broken from their quite talk by the sound of a loud horn. They glanced up to see Lucius drive by with a huge grin on his face.
"He's like a little kid" Draco laughed
"I'll say"
Tom was watching Lucius, knowing he had a sale and he intended to hike up the price just a little, hoping Hermione wouldn't notice. Draco decided he liked the beamer, and planned to purchase it.
The three followed Tom into his office to start the paperwork. When Tom left to get something, Hermione quickly grabbed the papers giving them a quick look over and instantly noticed the prices were a little high.
"When he come back, let me deal with him" Hermione warned
They agreed and watched Hermione turn into a deal maker in a second.
"If you will just fill out these papers, we can get you into your new cars are on you way." Tom said as he entered the office.
"Just a minute Tom" Hermione started, " I happen to look at the prices and they seem to be a bit...inflated." She stood to square up with him, "Tell me, is this the best you can do?"
Tom knew he was busted, but wanted to save his sale.
"I may be able to budge a little on the price." he answered
"I'm glad because when I see the M.S.R.P, I wonder where the extra money is going."
"Shit, no one ever checks that" Tom thought to himself.
"We charge extra for detailing the vehicles before they leave the lot." he offered, trying to cover his ass.
"well I can assure you, we do not need a brand new car to be detailed."
Tom finally relented and lowered the price down to what they were supposed to be. Lucius and Draco signed the papers and paid for the cars in muggle currency. They followed Hermione back to the manor in their new cars, grinning the entire way. Narcissa was waiting for them when they got back and quickly fainted at the sight of the three black monsters consuming her family.
