Welcome to the Team, Malfoy

Chapter 8

I was home getting ready for the day when I heard a knock on my door. Before I could yell "Come in!", The door opened.
"Hey Granger!" I should've known.
"Why didn't you wait for me to answer the door?" I asked. He shrugged and replied, "You were gonna yell come in anyways." My eyebrows rose.
"Anyways," I start. "What are you doing here?"
"Ah, right down to business, I like it Hermione." He snapped his fingers while I rolled my eyes. "I came to ask if you would do me a tiny favor."
I narrow my eyes. "By tiny you mean..." I trailed off.
"I mean tiny....sort of.....okay maybe a little bigger than tiny." I laugh.
"What for Draco? You're acting like I have to go and offer myself to a dementor."
I think I heard him mutter close enough. He took a breath, "Can you just cometomymother'shousewithme?" I looked at him like he was crazy. I didn't hear a word of what he said.
       "I'm sorry, one more time." I asked.
      He looked away and started to twiddle and figit his hands. Almost like he was...nervous.
      "Draco...are you okay?" I asked. He sighed again. I went and sat down beside him. I placed a hand over his to stop his movements. One of his hands turned around and intertwined with mine.
      "Draco, tell me what is it." He looked at me. "I have to go to my mother's house. It's been a while since I've been there and...I don't want to go alone..."
      I nod my head understanding. "Of course, I'll go with you."
      "Hermione, you don't have too. I know she wasn't exactly your favorite person and-" "Draco, I'll go." I cut him off.
       He stares at me before hugging me tightly. I hug him back. "Thank you." He breathes out. I just squeeze him back.
      I think all Malfoy really needed was a friend and to know someone cared for him. Now, he has me.
