She Drives, He Walks - Chapter 16

A minute later, the two of them are still staring at each other. The knocking turns to banging now.

Hermione grips her wand apprehensively. Her voice is low, trembling a bit.

“How could you- Why?”

Draco narrows his gaze at her. He opens his mouth, starts saying something, but he is cut off by the loud sound of a door opening with a bang from downstairs.

They both startle but Hermione recovers first. She apparates directly to her living room, wand pointed. She casts petrificus at the two invaders with skill that she perfected over her years at Hogwarts and the War.

Nothing like a surprise attack.

However... Hermione looks at the invaders. Her eyes grow huge. She takes their wands in her hand as fast as she can and steps back into attack position. Finally, she casts the counter charm on the two people standing in front of her.

She calls. “Draco, come here please.”

Her expression is serious with a hint of danger.

After all, it's not everyday Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy are standing on her living room.

..........

“What the hell, Hermione, what happe-” And Draco freezes in the middle of the living room. He studies the situation in front of him.

His mother is quietly eying Granger as if she was some type of bug that she couldn't figure out how to kill.

Father was glaring openly at him and the little witch, his eyes darting between him, Hermione, and their wands in her hand.

Hermione sounds very calm to him while she speaks. “Draco?”

He can sense the outrage from his parents at the use of his first name. He doesn't care. “Hermione?”

“Did you invite your parents for a visit, perhaps?”

He eyes her, amused. It would be funny if it weren't for the circumstances. His parents are both looking at him, expecting him to defend them. He slowly walks and stands himself next to Hermione, between her and his parents.

“I didn't. I haven't talked to them in years.”

“Hmm. I thought so. Better, it means I won't have to make tea for them. They weren't the best hosts either, mind you, Draco, I'm sure you remember last time I was at Malfoy Manor.” She says, truly sarcastic.

He chuckles sadly and grins at her, apologetic. That is what releases his father's tongue.

“You are friends with a Mud-”

“SHUT! The. Fuck. Up.”

He turns his glaring grey eyes towards Lucius. He can see the mask fall off, and Lucius is clearly disgusted, in a rage, and frustrated he isn't in the possession of his wand.

Draco is going to enjoy this. He arches up his eyebrow. “Yes, she is my friend. And it's muggle-born, father, where are your manners? Now, what do you want? Do tell; I haven't got all day. I want to learn cooking.”

Both Draco and Hermione were thinking the same thing as they saw the faces of Narcissa and Lucius.

Ah... If I could take a picture.

..........

Hermione is almost grinning at Draco when she hears two pops of apparition. She eyes the door.

Her eyes open in surprise again. She barely has time to cast a shield on Draco, but she manages, and the stupefy spell bounces off her protection.

Narcissa and Lucius are unconscious on the floor. Hermione puts herself between Draco and the new “invaders.” Wand pointed, she openly glares at them.

“Harry, Ron. What a surprise.”

Harry and Ron, both with Auror uniforms and wands in hand stand on her doorstep. Harry is clearly angry but he doesn't seem surprised that Draco is there.

Ron, on the other hand, is glaring like a maniac, his face red in rage.

Draco is the one that breaks the silence. He seems calm, and makes sure he speaks very close to her ear. It sends shivers to her skin, and it makes her best friends grip their wands more angrily.

“Shall I make tea then?”

She can't help but smirk.

They both think the same thing.

What a mess.
