Hermione PoV:
I hadn't ate before I left nor at the Weasleys house and I was REALLY regretting life decisions. I looked down into my purse having absolutely no extra money to spend on non-essentials.
I mean of course my parents had entitled all their money to me but the exchange rate from pounds to wizard money wasn't exactly in my favour.
It's been around 15 minutes of me waiting for the train and I have to wait another 45 minutes in the freezing cold and yes I could go back home but I didn't want to be reminded of my loneliness once more.
I started to look around before I heard a yell and laugh in the distance there was the Malfoy family accompanied by Blaise Zambini.  I started to get up and turn away until Narcissa Malfoy had spotted me and were now only less than three metres away. For Fuck sake now I have to see god Damn Malfoy.
I looked up ready to face my wrath when I saw Mrs Malfoy above me with a hand out covered in designer leather.
She was quite stunning Mrs Malfoy, you could definitely see where Draco got his undeniably handsomeness from, wait what was I saying oh god I truly am going crazy.
I took her hand being careful not to squeeze too hard before being greeted with a hug and smile. It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling as I hugged her back, what the hell happened to Malfoy when he was born, the apple didn't even feel like it came from the same field.
"How are you Hermione dear, we came slightly early but of course we wanted to meet you. You look stunning I must say and your hair what shampoo do you use it smells of caramel." She gave me a beam, she certainly made someone feel like a million dollars.
"Thank you Mrs Malfoy, god you are quite the charmer with the flattery," I felt flushed and red until my eyes wondered to Malfoy his eyes hardened on me "are you sure your Mrs Malfoy because god how different you are to Mr Malfoy over there." I gave a bitter smile to Draco.
I had expected Narcissa Malfoy to defend Draco but she did nothing of the sort "Please Narcissa dear and oh I know, you'd think she was going to a funeral every day by the way he acts."
I saw a shocked Malfoy, mouth agape maybe this wasn't actually too bad and finally someone who shares my thoughts. Then that's when I got basically fucked because of my money problems.
"Hermione love why don't we all get something to eat, Blaise why don't you find miss Ginny, what do you think Hermione?" I gave a sweet nod and looked down into my purse before it was snapped close by someone.
I looked up to see black and blonde "I'll pay." He looked down at me as if I was inferior to him, his little spoilt, bratty mop hair. I was still grateful so I muttered a hardly audible thank you.
We entered into a fancy cafe before taking a booth in the back with Narcissa and Malfoy across me. "I'll have a latte and a croissant please." Ordered Narcissa "what about you Hermione?" I was conscious of the fact that Malfoy would be lying so I decided not to order anything.
"No it's okay Narcissa I ate before not the hungriest." I gave her a convincing smile. The waiter then went to Malfoy as he ordered a latte, muffin and an earl grey tea. The waiter then left to go get our order and the conversation started.
"Hermione I have a gift actually for you."

Draco PoV:
My mother took out the velvet box which was on the table this morning. I should've know it was to be for Granger. I saw her eyes flutter when my mother had announced the gift and she immediately started to ramble on as she did when she was anxious. "You shouldn't have given yourself trouble Mrs- Narcissa I mean you shouldn't spoil me. Oh god you don't have to put yourself through this of being really kind to me just because I'm marrying your son."
My mother, the woman she was always won the debate "no dear I am absolutely delighted your marrying my son but also I want to spoil you and I would like to think I am kind to most but of course especially to you. Please accept my gift." She slid the box to her as Granger opened it.
She opened the gift to be greeted with a necklace in platinum and diamonds all around, simple enough to be word everyday but elegant enough for a suit and tie event.
"I am absolutely so grateful for this but I can't take this, it must've cost-"
I cut in "your house, we know" she gave me a nasty scowl in return of my comment. "This is all ridiculous and feels like a bloody romance novel but it's not it's the life of most of the world right now so can we stop with the formalities and just go, I lack the patience today."
She leaned towards me "if this was a romance it wouldn't be you across me right now trust me, you would be washing in the kitchen you yapping piece of shi-" someone cleared their throat.
My mother was staring at us now, politely, that was what made it unnerving. "Foods here eat up." She gave a smile before leaving for the restroom.
"I hate you, know that Granger." I narrowed my eyes at her my future ew wife. She came closer to me.
"The feelings are returned and here take the necklace go give it to some secret lover you actually want." I chuckled at her the face she made was pure loathing and hate.
"Wear the bloody necklace and I don't have any lovers even if I did I wouldn't give them a gift which my mother picked." She didn't say anything until I realised she wasn't listening she was looking at the muffin and my latte. I knew she was hungry that's why I had it ordered because she was being so chivalrous by not using my money. "Take it Granger I don't want it anymore after your eyes have been staring at it that long." It was a good enough excuse for her.
"I'm not hungry like I said before now I'm going to the bathroom to say my goodbyes I'll most likely sadly see your unsettling face at Hogwarts." She gave me a look.
"Hey granger what shampoo do you use?" She stopped midway turning to me her eyes slightly joyed and shocked it was cute. Ah shit not cute what's wrong with me. "You need to change it seeing that curly hair." She stuck her middle finger out at me before leaving. I noticed she had left her bag so I slipped in the muffin which I had requested to be put in a paper bag and the necklace.
She had come back from the bathroom with my mother before picking up her bag and leaving, I handed her the latte and left to the counter to pay before she could return it. She gave me a slight nod and then left.
I felt a smile come to my face before I wiped it off I had only given her the food and drink because she was being all stubborn for not eating and she was hungry. Whatever I didn't care if she would eat it or not but it was time to go but then when I reunited with Blaise and stepped onto the train I saw her smile at the muffin before eating it.
This time I let a smirk come to my face as I couldn't stop it. It didn't mean anything of course.
