The Slytherin princess

Chapter 30 // glow ups

Hermione's POV

"holy f-"

There are 4 weeks till we go back to school, last year Lucius told me we were coming to his instead of Draco coming to ours, I haven't been here for at least 2 years, and no I didn't fall over at the sight of the new decorations Narcissa had put up but by- merlin this is weird, Draco

now I know that sounds a little confusing, but when you see the guy who looked like a 2 year old just a summer ago and now looks like- well he's taller, his hair isn't slicked (thank god it looked horrible), quidditch seemed to have finally done something for him, his face had filled out a bit so he didn't have such a baby face anymore and- I don't know if it's possible, but his eyes had changed from a baby blue to an icy blue/grey

"whoa, mione you ok?" he grabbed my waist before I fell properly

"yeah, yeah sorry just... tripped" I stumbled, trying to cover my face from the embarrassment

"ay! Blaise, how are you?"

Blaise had walked in behind me

"good mate, you?" I ignored the rest of their greetings, Draco's mother walked in and she is much more interesting than them

"ah, Hermione how are you?" she asked as she pulled me into a hug

"I'm good Narcissa, you?"

she nodded "I'm doing quite well thank you" I heard Lucius call her back to the lounge "I'll leave you to catch up, but we must have a chat later"

"Of course" I always update Narcissa on the gossip when I see her

I walked back to my brother and Draco "wanna explain what happened to you Draco?"

"what do you mean?"

I dragged him to the closest bathroom where there was a full-length mirror "that" I pointed at the mirror

"I don't see what you're talking about"

I rolled my eyes "come off it, you don't look like a potato anymore, What potion did you take?"

"mione it's not a potion, it's called a glow up"

"how do you get a glow-up and I don't?"

he scoffed "mione, you have"

I took his place in front of the mirror "ok, I'm taller and I guess I don't look as much like a potato as I did but you still look better" I grumbled

"Hermione you look completely different, in a good way of course"

"Oh is it now? I-"

"would you two stop flirting, please? it's highly sickening" Blaise walked into the bathroom

"can we not have a conversation without you thinking that we're flirting Blaise?"

he shook his head "nope, Draco come show us the rooms I forgot, this place is more of a maze than my gaff"

Draco led us around to the east wing, and to a thin hallway decorated with paintings of past Malfoy family members, there were some spaces missing on the walls, that's where portraits of Malfoy's who weren't faithful were taken away

"This is my room" he pointed toward a black oak door "that's yours mione" mine was opposite his and had 'Hermione' over the top of the deep brown oak door "and Blaise that's your old one" Blaise ran inside the one that had 'Blaise' over the top

"nearly 14 and he's still acting like a 6-year-old" I laughed and walked into my room

It looked exactly the same as when I left it 2 years ago
