Just Pretend

Hermione has been home for two days now. Hermione's parents were yelling at her. They were telling her she has been moping ever since she got home.

They asked if something happen, of course she told them nothing happened. Of course her coming home a bit early then normal doesn't help.

Hermione didn't even bother to get dressed. She was still in her pajamas. There was no way she was getting dressed. Why get dressed? She wasn't going anywhere.

Plus, her family seen her in pj's before. She was younger then but still that doesn't matter. Hermione sighed. She was going to go upstairs for a nap.

The doorbell rang. They forogt the key again. Hermione thought.

When she opened the door. Harry and Draco stood before her. Hermione was shocked. Harry dropped to his knees and wrapped himself around Hermione leggs, much like Draco did.

"Please Hermione, don't kill me! He made me do it! Please!" Harry begged. He smashed his face into her leggs as he did this.

Hermione sighed again but deeper. "Get off the ground. I won't kill you...Ginny would be so sad if I did." Hermione said.

"What do you want.?" Hermione asked, in a low hiss.

"Ok, wait before you two get into this. Hermione, Can I use your Floo?" Harry asked. He was still dusting snow off of him.

"You have to take him with you. So you have to wait until we are done getting into this." Hermione said.

"What?!" Harry yelled, then glared at Draco.

"Hermione, you never told us, that you were going to have company over. Your still in those clothes!" Hermione's mother yelled.

"Hermione, you should invite them in. Not let them stand in the cold." Her father said.

"Come in." Hermione mumbled. She stepped aside and let them threw.

"Harry! You have grown. You look very nice. I'm glad to see you. Who are you staying with?" Mr.Granger said.

"Thank you, Mr.Granger. I'm staying with the Weasely's sir."

"You know, Harry anytime you want to, your more then welcome to stay with us." Mrs.Granger said.

They were all inside and sitting in the living room. While Mrs.Granger went to get pumpkin juice and cookies.

"Who might you be?"Mr.Granger asked.

"Draco Malfoy, sir." Draco held his hand out. "It is a pleasure to meet you sir." He said, when Mr.Granger shook his hand.

"Draco Malfoy. I never knew you and Hermione was friends." Mr.Granger said smiling.

"Where are you staying Draco?" Mrs.Granger asked, as she set down the juice and cookies.

"I...um..I..think..a..Inn." Draco said.

"You will not!" Mrs.Granger yelled. Draco eyes widen in her outburst. "You can stay here with us. You and Hermione are friends. It is said in done. Your staying with us."

"Mom!"Herione yelled.

Harry giggle. It was going to interesting. Draco and Hermione here. "Ow! That hurt." Harry said, when Hermione hit him. Hermione glared at him. "Good. Your lucky all I did was hit you."

"Hermione take Draco up to a guest room."Mrs.Ganger said.

"Do you have your stuff at the Inn?" Mr.Granger asked.

"No it is in my pocket." Draco pulled out his things of pocket.

"Oh, well isn't that handy." Mrs.Granger said.

"I'm sorry, I'm known to over pack a bit." Draco said.

"You too!" Harry yelled. "Ginny, yells at me all the time."

"Yea, well I not sure what I'm going to need and what I not going to need. So I bring what I think I will need. That is I end up over packing." Draco explained to Harry.

"Yea, I know. Then you don't pack what you needed and so you pack more next time." Harry said.

How the hell do you have a conversation about over packing? Hermione thought.

"Come on Draco." Hermione said, walking up the stairs.

"This is your room. My room is a door down." Hermione said.

"Thank you, Hermione." Draco said.

"It is not me that is letting you stay. It is my mom." Hermione corrected.

"Hermione, don't me angry with me. I have to tell you something important. I need to pay-"

"Draco, I don't care. Just act normal if front of my parents."

"I always act normal."

"I mean we have to pretend we aren't mad at eachother. Like nothing ever happened."

"Great more pretending! That is how I got into this mess with you! Don't you think we are a little old for pretending?"

Hermione's face grew red with anger. "It was your idea to pretend to begin with! Maybe, you should start acting your age and not your dick size and we wouldn't be in this!"

Hermione left before she blew up Draco.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione went downstairs. Poor Harry was left alone with his parents.

"Hermione! Might I please have a word with you. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Nice meeting you again." Harry said getting up and following Hermione, into the den.

"I thought you were never going to come back. I'm sorry, Hermione. Did you know Malfoy was capable of crying? I swear he was going to if I told him no."

"He is lucky if I don't kill him in his sleep tonight. I have several ways I want to kill him."

"Oh, great. You've turned into a murder! My best friend!"

"Harry, get over yourself. I'm not a murder, you twit!"

"Well, you know Ginny will want to come here; to see you. I'm sure I'll see you again."

"Why don't you let her come by herself?"

"Never! She can't be left alone."

"Well, you can use the Floo in here to get there. See ya!" Hermione hugged him before he went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, have you unpacked Draco?" Mr.Granger asked.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for letting me stay."

"Anytime son. So, how do you know my daughter?" He asked.

"I'm Head Boy sir. We share the same dorm. We also have many classes together."

"Oh, how nice." Mrs.Granger said.

"Thank you, for dinner. It was great." Draco said.

"Yea; mom it was wonderful." Hermione said.

"Hermione, you'll have to do dishes. Your mother and I are going to the store." Her father told her.

"Ok." She simply replyed.

"You have to do the dishes? Don't you have house elves?" Draco said.

"You've never did dishes before?" Mrs.Granger asked.

"No, I never had to. We have a house elf that does that." Draco explained.

"Well, I'm sure Hermione can teach you." Mr.Granger said.

Hermione already stared clearing the table. Her parents said their goodbyes and left.

"I have no clue what I am doing." Draco watching her.

"You don't have to do dishes. I can do that quicker without having to show you, and make sure you cleaned them well." Hermione said.

"Your just saying that cause you don't want me around you. Well I think you should just do what you were told and show me how." Draco said, pulling up his sleeves.

"You just want a excuse to be near me. Ok, then I'll dry."

"Why don't you do it magically? You have your wand don't you. Your not underage anymore."

"Mom, doesn't like it too much. Watch what your doing!" Hermione scolded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was about midnight. Draco couldn't sleep. He had been tossing and turning all night. He wanted to see Hermione. He wanted to watch her sleep until she woke up. Then he was going to sneak out of his room.

He opened his door, he looked both ways as if he was crossing a road. Then when he was sure the coast was clear he walked to Hermione's room.

He opened her door softly. Then shut it softly. Something stirred in the covers. He was sure it was just her leg or something.

He walked more into her room. He looked around a bit. He saw a chair he could sit in. Now was something was growling at him.

He looked over at the bed. The most cutest the chihuahua you could ever see was growling at him. Even growling it was cute.

"Aww, Aren't you cute. Shh, your going to wait her up." Draco whispered to the puppy.

It jumped off the bed and attacked Draco. He was attacking his leg. "Stop! Ow! That is not a midnight snack! Ow!"

Hermione woke up and looked over at Draco. Cheeko was attacking him. She smiled she taught that dog well. She giggled.

Draco jumped up on the chair. Cheeko put her little paws and the rim, still barking at him. Draco was sure her parents were up by now. Damn dog.

"Come here, Cheeko." Hermione said.

The dog stopped her attack on Draco and went to Hermione. She was too small to jump up; so Hermione picked her up.

"Good girl! Mommy is so proud of you."

"That dog is evil like you! I'm surprised you parents aren't in here yet."

"I have a silencing charm on the door. Cheeko like to barks at the wind alot and that wakes my parents."

"What are you doing in here anyway?"

I can't tell her really why. Draco thought.

"Umm..."
