Chapter Three.

The Granger's dining hall was cozy and had candles and Muggle lights alike. The table was dark oak with a glass covering, and had a bouquet of beautiful differently colored flowers in a glass vase in the middle.

All three Grangers and Draco sat down on one side at the table for ten.

"Can I find out what fish and chips are now, Mrs. Granger?" Draco asked hopefully.

"Please, call me Sarah!" Hermione's mother smiled. "And why haven't you tried fish and chips? I love them too!"

"Call me Han, Draco," Hermione's father smiled at him, "and please don't forget I, too, love fish and chips!"

"Mom, I decided we should eat fish and chips and you forgot to say I love them too?" Hermione said mock-indignantly. Everyone laughed as the cook brought out four platters of the said dish. A fork was given to everyone, as Hermione showed Draco the ketchup.

"Tomato sauce?" he asked, astonished. "How weird!" Then, "Why are we only using forks?"

"Because you can use forks to eat the chips and fish," Hermione sighed. "Okay, you can have a knife, too."

Draco went for the chips first, dipping them in ketchup as Hermione said. Putting one into his mouth, he chewed for a while then said in surprise, "It's good!"

"You know what I do?" Hermione smiled at him, (he ignored the butterflies) "I use my hands."

"What?" Draco exclaimed. "That's not good manners!"

"I'll take you to a fast food restaurant soon," Hermione sighed again.

"Okay, well, this is my chance to use my hands," Draco brightened up. "My father would never all this." Grabbing two chips, he ate them slowly.

Hermione laughed as he practically glowed with happiness. "Tastes better, doesn't it?"

"Yeah," Draco agreed.

For dessert Sarah had the cook make waffles with fruit and ice cream.

"What's your favorite fruit?" the friendly cook asked.

"Strawberries," Sarah answered.

"Mango!" Han grinned.

"Grapes," Hermione and Draco said simultaneously.

"I see lovebirds," Sarah teased.

The said 'lovebirds' blushed tomato red (they could be compared to the ketchup on their plates) and looked away.

They all ate dessert in the family room. Sarah, being a mother, decided to bring up their childhoods. "When I was young I remember the most exciting thing that happened to me was when my class had a great get-together and everyone was pumped-up and dancing. It was a really expensive party with great food and a beautiful room. Then suddenly the lights when off and everyone bumped into each other. When the lights got back on most people were sitting on the floor, having given up. But there was a live band on the stage and everyone got a huge excitement rush and stood up."

Han beamed. "The most exciting thing that happened to me was when a new student in my class brought a monkey in on his first day, which climbed onto out teacher's hair. The teacher shrieked really loudly and began grabbing at the monkey. The animal's name was Chiky and began grabbing small things to pelt my teacher with. The new student got detention for a week but became an instant celebrity in my class, as the teacher was really horrible and mean."

"Uh," Hermione began, to which Draco remarked,

"Smooth, real smooth." She blushed.

"Uh, the most exciting thing that happened was… eh…"

"Oh!" Sarah cut in. "Well, once when you were six, we took you to a huge playground, and you were the most excited child there, probably. You were jumping around…" Draco smirked as Hermione blushed "…and then there you met two friends a girl and a boy, and they were siblings. Well, you three were really good friends and played for maybe three hours, screaming, running and all that. I took lots of pictures, but they are way back now. At the end of the afternoon the three of you had pinky promised to be best friends forever…" Draco smirked harder as Hermione blushed harder "…and you took them over to introduce them to me and your father. Then, however, the two siblings' parents came over, we chatted, and then it was time for them to leave. You were really sad, and began crying, but the girl came over to hug you, and the boy decided that wasn't good enough and kissed your cheek." Hermione looked up, her eyes wide and said,

"WHAT?"

"Yup," Sarah nodded, beaming.

"Why don't I remember?" Hermione wondered.

Draco was feeling strange. At Sarah's ending something had risen within him that he had never felt before because he had no need. He was afraid he knew what it was, though… Jealousy. Malfoys don't DO jealousy! There was nothing for him to be jealous about. He had it all, money included.

He was brought back to the present when Sarah said, "Your turn, Draco."

Uh oh.

"Erm…" he began.

"Smooth, real smooth," Hermione smirked.

He blushed. "I'm having a weird sense of déjà vu," he grinned. "Anyway, erm…" Draco looked around. "I need a parent to save me," he joked.

Then the fire turned green.
