Hey! I do not own Harry Potter! My Internet'll be on soon! I've seen Les Miserables at last! OMG! Go see it if you haven't already! If you've already seen it go and see it again! Anyway, thanks for the reviews and enjoy the chapter! We've got a shock in store!
Draco wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Mr and Mrs Granger, but immediately they seemed much nicer than his parents. Then he remembered something he'd found out in the summer that was sure to be brought up that he'd chosen to forget and he was nervous about Hermione finding out. But he forgot about that and greeted Hermione's parents.
"How are you doing, darling?" Mr Granger asked, smiling, happy to see his daughter again.
"I'm good, how are you guys?" Draco replied. He felt much more confident now he was here. Hermione had told him everything he'd need to say and how to spend his time and how to react to certain things.
"We've just been missing you." Said Mrs Granger. Draco knew that Hermione would be happy to know that she was being missed.
"So, before we do anything, what would you like to see at the theatre?" Asked Mr Granger. Hermione had said that they'd ask her what theatre show to see. She'd suggested Blood Brothers.
"Maybe Blood Brothers?" Draco suggested.
"That sounds great!" Agreed Mrs Granger. "Me and your dad saw it when you were little. You'll love it!"
"I'm sure that I will!" Draco said enthusiastically. He'd never been to the theatre, so he was looking forward to it.
After that Mr Granger paid for them to see a film at the cinema and a meal at Hermione's favourite restaurant. Hermione had fortunately told him what her favourite meal was, so Draco knew what to order. After that they went home. Draco went straight into Hermione's room. He was surprised at quite how many books and musical soundtracks and posters there were. He was happy to be able to spend the rest of the evening and most of the rest of the holiday in here.
Hermione greeted Narcissa. Like Draco, she didn't know what to expect from her. She seemed nice enough. It was Lucius she was worried about.
"How was school?" Narcissa asked.
Draco had told her that school was always 'alright'. "It was alright." Hermione replied. She guessed that at home Draco kept up the moody teenager attitude.
They travelled to Malfoy Manor by portkey. Hermione went straight to Draco's room. Draco had given her directions to all the rooms she'd need to know, so she knew where to go. She was surprised by how many house elves she'd seen on the way. She made a mental note to be nice to them, but not too nice.
Later on Hermione went downstairs for dinner. She followed Draco's directions and found the dining room fine. It was a large room with a large black marble table with lots of chairs around. Narcissa and Lucius were sat in seats at the centre of the table with a seat between them for her. Hermione sat down and an abundance of house elves brought them a large meal.
"Draco, your father has a compromise on the marriage situation."
What? What marriage situation? She decided to try and find out more. "Yes?"
"Well, you will marry Pansy. But if you find someone appropriate that you love, then you won't have to." Said Lucius.
Draco never told me about that! "Well that seems slightly more fair." She said. Why would they force Draco into a marriage? With that, she wondered how Draco was managing. Hermione finished the meal and went back up to Draco's room for the rest of the evening. She managed to sneak a piece of bread for a house elf to eat.
The next morning Draco woke up and ran straight to the bathroom and threw up. Must have been the food last night. He spent most of the rest of the morning in the bathroom throwing up continuously. It was either the food he ate last night or a bug. He hoped it was just the food.
After a while he stopped being sick and made himself lunch, as Mr and Mrs Granger had left for work before Draco had even woken up. He managed to make himself a cheese sandwich without much difficulty. He was quite looking forward to spending the rest of the holiday here. He was worrying about Hermione though.
Over the next few mornings Draco woke up and was sick. He was beginning to think it was something other than food poisoning or a bug, but he couldn't figure out what.
