Chapter 4: It's Granger
"MALFOY?!"
The beautiful woman screamed my name in horror.
"Excuse me, do I know you, miss?" I asked her in my politest waiter-voice.
And then I looked into her eyes.
*FLASHBACK*
"I, Hermione Granger, am willing to testify in favour of Draco Lucius Malfoy." Her clear voice echoed in the court room. She stood up from her seat and faced the Wizengamot. She looked tired, she had bags under her eyes and her hair seemed to have lost its shine.
"The Wizengamot is listening, miss Granger." Shacklebolt said and Granger begun her story. She started by stating that I had hated her from day one at Hogwarts and that I had been picking on her for the last seven years. What wasn't entirely true. I hadn't hated her, my father had told me to loath every half-blood and she was in Gryffindor, so it might have looked like that. But I didn't, mostly I was just jealous that she had better grades than me.
"So why are you here, defending him miss Granger?!" One of the members of the Wizengamot asked.
"Because I know he isn't all bad. He had the chance to kill Dumbledore but he didn't, he had the chance to identify us at Malfoy Manor and he hesitated." She stated.
"Malfoy Manor? When were you there miss, and how did you get there?" Another member asked in confusion.
This was going to be very hard for her, the part of her torture was coming up and I already told the Wizengamot my point of view of that day in the manor and she'd been at the verge of tears then. Now she had to tell a bunch of strangers of her torture. To be honest, I pitied her. She took a deep breath before beginning her story and looked me right into the eyes for just a second.

"YES, YOU BLOODY DO MALFOY!" She kept screaming, a little frown appeared between her golden brown eyes. "Why do you pretend you don't know me, you git! It's because of me and Harry that your sorry ass isn't even behind bars!" She ranted on, her sleek hair swishing around.
"G..Granger?" I asked incredulous. She looked nothing like the Granger I had seen at my trial. She didn't even looked like the Granger back at Hogwarts. The woman in front of me was…well,hot. And totally different. 'Granger's hair wasn't bushy anymore, it was super sleek , the colour seemed warmer and shifted into honey blonde from the middle of her back. She looked really fit in her brown light dress. I didn't even knew that she had those curves!
"Lost something, Malfoy?" She snapped me out of my thoughts. A slight blush crept upon my cheeks, I must have been staring at her with my mouth wide open. " Is it really you, Granger?" I managed to get out. "Yes Malfoy, Hermione Granger? The girl who you used to pick on?" She said in a sarcastic voice.
"I know who you are, thank you very much." I said stiffly. "But I hadn't recognized you, finally did something on your hair, I see?" I drawled. "Yes I did, and could you bring me a Mai Thai and some bruschetta, before you drool all over my towel? She asked with a smirk. Right, I was her personal waiter for the time she spend here in Viareggio. Just great.
*FLASHBACK*
"Draco and Narcissa Malfoy, The Wizengamot hereby condemns you both to spend the whole summer vacation in the muggle world. You will have to find a job and rapport once a week to a ministry worker. You can choose the place where you'll be staying, but of course you'll have to tell us where. After those two months you'll be able to return to Malfoy Manor." Kingsley Shacklebolt concluded his speech. "You'll have one hour to think about a place."
"Mother! Help me, we have to find a safe place to spend the summer. There's just too much people out there who want to drink our blood." I asked her. My mother looked at me with unseeing eyes. "I'll never see Lucius again.." She sighed defeated. " He has made his choice when he refused to work along with the Wizengamot. He isn't sorry about anything. He keeps on to those ideas of blood purity. Let go off him, Mother." I told her in a cold voice. "We have the chance to begin a new life somewhere else" I argued. "You're probably right, son" She said "at least we're still together, thanks to that Granger girl." "I know, we didn't deserved her kindness but if I ever have the opportunity , I'll thank her for keeping us out of Azkaban and giving us a second chance." I promised her.

"So, are you going to get me my order or what?" She asked me amused, batting her long black lashes.
"Yes, miss" I sighed, rolling my eyes.
