Chapter Three: Hermione Granger's Packing Day
Only three reviews? I'm updating faster, come on people! Anyway, thanks to Crouching Crookshanks and Rangerfairy! So, this chapter is dedicated to them! Round of applause!
I need two more….
"Hey Dustin!" Hermione yelled.
"What is your prob?" Dustin yelled back, tired of Hermione calling him all the time. She had called in 39 times already.
"Help! I need help with packing!"
Dustin sighed and got up from the table. He'd read Hogwarts, A History later.
But as Dustin neared her room, he heard a scream of frustration. He took out his new wand and opened the door slowly. Hermione was nowhere to be seen.
"'Mione?" Dustin said slowly.
"Under the clothes, Dust."
Hermione's muffled voice said.
Dustin sighed again and removed
some clothing, and then saw his sister's brownish red hair. "Hey,
Hermione?"
"Yeah?" She asked, packing again.
Dustin picked up a bra. "Is this a swimming suit? Why is it soft-"
"Dustin! That's my bra." Hermione said, reddening a bit.
Dustin's cheeks got red like Ginny's hair. "Oh… Um… Ok… Great."
Hermione laughed. When she found out that she had a brother, she thought that she'd have a bad one. But, Dustin was great, cheered her up, and threatened Draco Malfoy.
As she packed in silence, she remembered that Draco had a sixth year sister named Catastrophe. She actually liked the name Catastrophe; at least she thought it was better than Hermione. She remembered the description Draco had told her last year:
"She has red hair-"
"Whoa, red hair? You have no redheads in your family…"
"Yeah, I know. But her hair is streaked with pale yellow, like mine. And, it's natural."
"Natural?"
"Yeah, natural streaked hair and natural eyes that change colors with her mood, and natural curly hair."
"She sounds pretty." I said, mumbling a bit.
"Yeah? Well, she's coming next yea-"
"Get away, ferret."Dustin said menacingly.
"Fine." Draco spat, then went away.
She sighed. Surely that was the last time she would have a civilized conversation with Draco. But weirdly, she wanted to see his sister.
A crackle made both their heads, Dustin and Hermione's heads, mind you, snap up in surprise and Dustin quickly pointed the wand at the noise.
"Miss Hermione? Mister Dustin?"
"Dobby! Did you have a good break?" Hermione said, hugging the tiny little elf.
"Oh, yes, missus. But Dobby was sent here."
"Who?" Dustin's voice was like ice, and Dobby stepped back.
"Uh…Um…A…" Dobby shivered.
"Dustin! Dobby is a friend." Hermione said, angry at her brother.
"I know, but he's from the Malfoy family."
"Dobby, who sent you?"
"Miss Catastrophe."
"Catastrophe? Draco's little sister?"
"Yes, missus."
"And their mother allowed this? How about their father?" Hermione asked, confused.
"Uh… It's not my place to tell you those things; Miss Catastrophe will tell you everything."
"Right, Dobby. Um, how do we get there?"
"Wait, Herm. You're actually going there? To the Malfoy Manor? Besides, Hogwarts starts tomorrow, and you still haven't packed yet." Dustin said, amazed.
"Yes, but…"
"Please, missus and mister," Dobby asked trembling, "Miss Catastrophe was crying."
"Whoa. A Malfoy? Crying? I'd pay anything to see that." Dustin laughed.
Dobby turned serious. "REALLY, MISTER DUSTIN. If you don't want to come, then only Miss Hermione can come…"
"Nah, I'll go." Dustin said quietly.
Dobby grabbed both their hands and went to the fireplace. "Malfoy Manor."
Ooooh, what will happen?
Anyway, if they had a duel who would win? Dustin or Catastrophe? Or Draco or Hermione?
Catastrophe and Hermione… Probably…
Also, guess what would happen the next chapter. I'll try updating every day.
Bye,
Catastrophe Malfoy/Cullen
