Chapter 16
The next day!
The familiar exhibition is tomorrow and Draco's nervous. Yes, Draco Malfoy is nervous.
"What's wrong Draco?" Hermione asked.
"The yearly familiar exhibition is tomorrow. Every familiar is supposed to show off their skills in front of everyone and this year the prince is coming," Draco said.
"So what's the problem?" Hermione asked.
"The problem is that you have nothing ready!" Draco yelled.
"So? I could always do a few spells," Hermione said.
"But you can't-"
"Why not? I've done magic in front of a crowd before."
"That's not the point! What if they find out you're a vampire!"
"So what?"
"You're kidding, right?"
"No. Who cares? I would think you'd be more worried about what Onii-sama thinks."
"What do you mean?"
"Onii-sama won't be happy about this. He already hates that you call me your familiar. Imagine what he'd think when he finds out about this exhibition."
"Crap! I didn't even think of that!"
"Oh calm down. He won't be happy, but he won't do anything to you unless I let him…or tell him to."
"Oh thanks," Draco said with sarcasm.
"Anyway, tell me about this prince," Hermione said.
"Why should I?" Draco asked.
"Because that's why you're freakin out, right? Because he's gonna be there. So tell me about him," Hermione reasoned. She nodded her head while she talked.
"Fine," Draco said with a sigh. "Prince Henry and I grew up together. We were best friends," he said.
"You were friends with the prince?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"Hey, don't act so surprised! My family's rich too!" Draco said with a red face.
"Hehe, it was a joke!" Hermione said with sweat drop. "Why are you so nervous?" Hermione asked.
"He's a prince, why wouldn't I be nervous?"
"But if he's as good as a friend as you say he is, he'd be happy to see you."
"Maybe but-"
"And besides, you're familiar is a vampire princess. Why wouldn't he be impressed?"
"Yeah but-"
"And frankly vampires are superior to humans, so really he's the lucky one to even get to see me. Let alone see my talents in use. He should be the one to put on a show for me."
"I get it!"
"You do?"
"Yes, you're so great so I shouldn't be worried. Blah blah blah. You sound so vain."
"Now is that anyway to talk to your princess and savior? You wouldn't want me to get stage fright now, would you?" Hermione said with a cat-like grin.
"You wouldn't," Draco said, hoping to call her bluff.
"I would," Hermione said.
"Fine. Oh hail the mighty and wonderful vampire princess herself, Hermione…uh…wait is your last name?" Draco asked with a sweat drop.
"That's none of your business!"
"Ok ok, geez."
"So what do you want me to do anyway? Spells, a dance number, singing?"
"I don't know. Can you sing?"
"You're kidding, right? Of course I can!"
They were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in," Draco said with a sigh. The door opened and someone slipped inside. The person was tall and wore a cloak with the hood up. The person took off the hood and turned to face them.
"Who are you?" Draco asked.
"I'm offended that you don't remember me, Draco. We were best friends after all," the person said.
"Henry?" Draco asked.
The person put down the hood and sure enough it was Prince Henry. The prince was gorgeous. He had dark wavy hair and light blue eyes. His features were well defined and he was very strong.
"You're Prince Henry?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, and I…oh sorry, Draco. I didn't know you had…uh company," Henry said with a nervous laugh.
"It's not like that, idiot! She's my familiar," Draco said with a bright blush.
"Familiar? You summoned her?" Henry asked in disbelief.
"Geez! What's with you two? I'm not some random idiotic loser!" Draco yelled at them.
"Of course not!" Henry said to Draco. "What's he talking about?" Henry whispered to Hermione.
"Oh I was surprised that he was friends with a prince. He's just being dramatic," Hermione whispered back. The two laughed and Draco looked at them confusedly.
"Oh, it's nothing," Hermione reassured him.
"Oh how rude of me!" Henry said. He turned to Hermione and bowed. "I am Prince Henry. And you would be?" He asked her.
"Hermione," she said. Henry gently took her hand and kissed it. Hermione blushed slightly.
"If you two lovebirds are done now," Draco said to get their attention. "What are you doing here, Henry?" Draco asked.
"I came to see you," Henry said.
"Really?" Draco asked.
"Of course! The familiar exhibition is tomorrow so I was in town anyway. And I wanted to see my old friend," Henry explained.
"Who are you calling old? You're a year older than me," Draco said with an eye twitch. Henry and Hermione laughed.
"Sorry, but I have to go now," Henry said.
"Already?" Draco asked.
"Yes, I really am sorry, but I really have to go," Henry said. He bowed and put his hood up. He slipped out the door and Draco turned his attention to Hermione.
"Your performance has to be the best," Draco said. Hermione smiled and nodded.
