Last time on 'Eyes':
"Narcissa showed Hermione another library, the kitchen, the dining room, a few beautiful enchanted, themed bedrooms, and stopped in front of a door. She knocked.
"Draco, dear! You have a visitor. Please come out and say hello." Hermione heard footsteps and the door opening. Draco looked at the girl standing next to his mother 'wow. I wonder who that is. She's pretty hot,' he thought, looking her up and down. "Hermione has come to see you." Draco flinched at what he had just thought.
"MUDBLOOD GRANGER IS IN OUR HOUSE! MOTHER! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?"
"Draco, we talked to you about this. We told you not to use language like that. You are being very rude to our guest. Now, apologize to her." Narcissa said, staring her son in the eyes, hinting with that smug, motherly flair that if he didn't…some terrible, terrible punishment would befall him.
"Mother, I will not apologize to such filth." Draco said, glaring at Hermione, trying to avoid his mother's eyes staring him down.
"Draco…I will give you one last chance…apologize to Hermione…Draco, look at me," She said, trying to get Draco to look at her so she could send him that 'last-warning' motherly stare. When he finally glimpsed at her, she could tell that he had no intention of giving Hermione any kind of apology. "Okay, Draco. Since you do not want to cooperate with me, I am going to make you do something in exchange. Hermione, Mrs. Granger, and I are going shop-" Narcissa was interrupted by a loud groan omitted from Draco's mouth. "-ping today, and you will accompany Hermione because since Jane and I haven't seen each other for so long, we'll probably be gabbing and ignoring dear Hermione. So, since you are doing absolutely nothing today, you will come with us." Narcissa fixed him another withering, motherly stare that said, "If you don't do this, I will probably come up with something that will cause you severe pains." This time, Draco did not want to challenge his mother's abilities to get what she wanted.
"Fine, Mother, I am going to change into proper clothes to go out. I will be downstairs shortly." Draco said, then slammed the door.
3rd Person POV
Fifteen minutes later, when Jane had already arrived, Draco came down the stairs wearing, much to Hermione's surprise, muggle clothing. He wore a medium-dark pair of muggle jeans with a black t-shirt that said 'Slytherins do it in the dungeons.'
Hermione POV
'I'm going to give him hell for his clothing choices,' I thought, grinning evilly, her eyes turning dark blue. 'He thinks that he can insult me for being a muggleborn, while wearing muggle clothing?! Oh, Malfoy, just you wait until we're alone…'
Draco POV
I looked down in the foyer where Mother, Granger, and a woman I assumed was Granger's mother were standing and found a quite intriguing sight.
'Hah! Granger is smiling at me in a quite…flirtatious manner. Perhaps she does fancy me. All those years where I thought that she would only fight with me so much was because she was in denial of fancying me, I was right! Oh, Granger. You'll see how fast this news gets around when Pansy gets wind of this. I can just see the headlines: HERMIONE GRANGER, GRYFFINDOR, MUDBLOOD PRUDE, FALLS IN LOVE WITH SLYTHERIN KING, DRACO MALFOY!'
In return to her not-so-flattering 'come hither' look, I flashed her my signature Malfoy smirk.
Hermione POV
'What the hell is he smirking about?'
3rd Person POV
At last, the four had reached Imperial Lane, a highly upscale shopping area filled with all sorts of shops: from designer boutiques to rollaway stands. Jane, Draco, and Hermione stood in a small clump on the side of one of the four Floo fireplaces at the center of the area. All of the fireplaces surrounded a fountain, spewing out water of every color imaginable. A couple minutes later, Narcissa returned to them with two maps, which she handed to Jane and Hermione.
"I have been here so many times that I know the area right to left…no pun intended. Draco has come here with me several times, as well, so I suspect he knows where everything is located."
Hermione smiled at Narcissa and opened her map. She was surprised with the contents. Each map showed every member of a person's party, as well as each store with a short description of its contents with a simple touch of a wand.
"Now, Hermione! First, we will all go to Madame Celine's A/N: Heehehe, can anyone tell me what this is from? boutique and pick out lovely outfits for you and your mother to wear." Narcissa turned around and led the way to the shop. When they reached the store, Hermione gasped at it's size. It was the size of her closet! But once they stepped inside, she realized it was simply a charm and that the store was not as small as it seemed.
"Yoo hoo! Madame Celine?!" Narcissa chimed.
"Narcissa!" A short, pudgy woman wearing a purple, starry robe appeared from behind a rack of dresses. "What can I help you with today?"
"Well, Hermione and her mother Jane here are looking for dress robes to wear to our summer party."
"Aha! We will start with Hermione! I know just the section." Madame Celine scurried through racks and racks of clothing until she reached a section towards the back. She waved her wand and they all levitated in front of them in a straight line. "Now, Miss Hermione. Take your pick!"
Hermione responded uncertainly, "Well…I don't really know. I've never been much for fashion" Draco smirked, "…and…well…I personally…well, the dresses are beautiful…but…I don't really think I would look very good in them."
"Nonsense, Hermione!" Narcissa said to Hermione genuinely. "You're a beautiful girl so you will look beautiful in any of these." Narcissa picked three dresses down from the display and pushed Hermione towards the dressing room.
Draco's POV
I stood leaning against the wall waiting for Granger to come out of the dressing room, so I could indulge in the laughter that would obviously overcome me. Please! Hermione Granger in a Madame Celine dress gown! It would be a hilarious sight. Especially since she has absolutely no shape or curve to her body. Well…actually...since I saw her at the end of the school year…NO! She's still ugly Granger. Aha! Here she comes. The door unhinged and I crossed my arms waiting for her to step out looking like a monkey...or some equally ridiculous animal.
And how right was I! She came out wearing an orange, floor-length gown with green lace sleeves, opening at the ends. It made her look like a cross between a pumpkin and a…well...yes. A pumpkin. I snorted and burst out laughing. Both she and my mother gave me a glare, while Hermione's mother was off with Madame Celine. But I'm sure she would have sent me one as well. They couldn't blame me though! Mudblood looked hilarious.
"No! No! No!" I heard my mother say, "This will absolutely not do! Try on another."
I wondered why I was even here with Granger and how our mothers knew each other. Why was my mother tolerating a muggle and a mudblood? She had never done it before, and now she is forcing me to be here with Granger and watch this hilarious, but boring process.
Next, Granger came out wearing a mid-thigh length dress covered in silver sequins, charmed to light up and flash. She looked like a human disco ball! Though…her legs were a sight to be seen. NO! Fucking hell, Draco! Why…OH JUST SHUT UP! No, you shut up! BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP! I…SHUT UP, DRACO! Wow. I'm going crazy. At least I have some entertainment though. She ran back in to her stall, blushing a bright red. I could have sworn I saw her eyes turn a bright hue of yellow…but...it must just be me going crazy again.
Fucking hell! I just fell off the wall onto the ground. Hermione…ahem I mean..Granger…mudblood queen…S.P.E.W. retard….YES. THAT ONE. Her. She came out of the stall in this flowing dress that went down right past her knees. It was a white dress with a black ribbon tied right under her...ahem...bust...and had a simple tie at the top of the back of her neck. Hell! Granger looked…NO. She didn't look good. She's a mudblood. She looks disgusting always! Yeah. Except now...the Yule Ball… when you were Potions partners last term and you accidentally spilled the potion on her head…SHUT UP, HEAD. She's an ugly mudblood and I won't take no for an answer.
"Shut up, Granger! Stop laughing at me. I just…slipped." She continued laughing at me. Oh, she should just wait until I get her alone. Then she'll get it.
"Oh! Hermione! You look simply stunning! The dress is not too much, but it's just enough to make you shine with natural beauty. Now, here's some shoes that will match and you're all done. Jane looks as if she's having a bit of trouble finding a dress for herself so I will help her and you and Draco can run along. We'll be able to find you with our maps, but let's meet the North Fountain at 4:00.
I was just about to scream 'Mother' when I realized that if I protested she would probably make me come with her and have my back waxed the muggle way again. Honestly…the wizard way takes a second and does not hurt a bit, so if I were to have to go through that pain again…
Hermione's POV
Oh. My. Goodness. 2 hours alone with Draco Malfoy? What the hell am I supposed to do for that long?! I thought for a few moments. Hahahaha! I have a plan!
A few moments later Malfoy and I went outside into the alley. I thought into his mind, 'So...what should we do, Malfoy?'
"Well, mudblood, I'd like to do nothing with you."
Next, I stared right into his gray eyes and thought into his head, 'Well, same here, Malfoy. Must be the first thing we've ever had in common.'
'MUDBLOOD! What! I just looked at her…and her lips weren't moving. She's just standing there...blinking at me. I must be going crazy. I'm just making up things that she's saying to me.'
'No you're not. I'm in your head.'
'No you're not. You're just a figment of my imagination.'
Draco's POV
And I closed my eyes, rubbing my temples. 'Feeling better?' I heard her chipper voice in my head once again.
3rd Person POV
'No. I'm not. What the hell! Why am I talking to her! This is just me, thinking about her and creating little…fantasies in my head.'
'Oh! Well then, fantasize about me often, Malfoy? Sorry to say, but I'm not interested.'
'What the hell, Granger? You're the one...Why am I talking to her again! Whatever. She's the one that was looking at me today so longingly. She's a stupid little mudblood with a stupid little head with little cute naïve thoughts and a cute little stupid body.'
'So you think my body's cute?'
'No! Your thoughts are naïve and cute…because they're so naïve! I'm just having some trouble formulating words in my mouth.'
'You're not talking. You're thinking.'
'That's right! I'm thinking. To myself. Granger is just obsessed with me so she's been staring at me. Forever. STOP STARING AT ME! Stop standing so close to me. Stop it. Stop it.'
Hermione inched closer. And closer. And closer. She reached out and pulled Draco's head down to her, and they're lips almost touched when suddenly…
A/N: I was going to end there but…I'll just finish the chapter so you're not like..WHAT THE HELL! HERMIONE KISSES MALFOY! THIS IS SO OOC! I'M CLOSING THIS! THIS AUTHOR SUCKS!
'Didn't think I was actually going to kiss you did you, Malfoy?' Hermione thought and pushed Draco into the wall. She ran all the way through the alley with Malfoy running after her. It would have been quite the sight for anyone who went to Hogwarts. And oh. It was. Watching this whole episode was none other than...
DUN DUN DUN! Tis over! Okay, I already have plans for the next chapter, so maybe I'll start writing it a little later tonight. But I have to do a little homework. I'm not putting the next one up until I get a few more reviews though! I'm so evil. Heh.
