-Hermione Granger-

I yawn as I sit up in the more then familiar bed and room. Mine.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. How did I get here?

The last thing I remember is taking a bath at Dracos and getting cleaned up, then falling asleep in his arm as we watch TV in his living room.

I step out from under the covers and see that I'm in a T shirt and a pair of black shorts.

I see my legs that are still scraped up from yesterday and I look to my hands and arms. My hands don't seem as bed and neither to my arms, my legs took most of the impact.

I hear a knock on my door and I shoot my stare up to it. My brother walks in after the knock and no answer and I sigh.

"Why'd you get home so late?" Xander asks quietly as he walks up to me, I see his gaze flicker to my legs and his eyebrows furrow. "What the fuck happened?"

I grab his arm and that makes him look up into my eyes. "Me and Draco got in a fight-"

"And he pushed you to the ground?! What happened?!"

"Well if you shut up I could tell you" I snap at him. He closes his bossy mouth and looks up into my eyes with his caring ones.

"We got in a fight and he stoped the car. I ran out of the car and down the road, while kicking off my heels. I ended up tripping and getting hurt" I explain it slowly and quietly, careful not to anger him. "Draco is the one that took care of me"

"Then why didn't he stay over when he brought you home?"

I shrug and force back the frown that my face is trying to play.

"I don't know, I'll ask him later. But right now I want breakfast"

I start to walk past Xander, ending the conversation but he asks another question.

"What was the fight about?"

I sigh and keep walking into the Kitchen. He waits for an answer as he leanss on to the counter and I roll my eyes.

"I was being a little bitch, in general but also to him and I don't know, we just kept bantering back in forth."

"So that's why you guys left early?" I nod and he makes a questioning noise. "Makes sense."

I smile at my idea and turn back around to face my brother.

"My turn to ask you some questions"

"Shoot"

"What's goign on with you and Cindy"

Xander groans and sits down.

"We are having a disagreement"

"Big or little"

"Little" he answers without letting me finish the world 'little'

"Oh really" I sass him and walk in front of him on the other side of the counter.

"Well that 'little' problem is hurting Charlotte" I see his expression change at my statement and he shifts in his chair.

"It is?"

"Yes" I hiss and he drags his teeth along his bottom lip.

"I don't mean for it to hurt her..." is voice is meak and small with a slight bit of disappointment.

"Well it is. So you should probably fix things with her unless you want me to start setting up therapy sessions with Charlotte."

Xander smiles and shakes his head. "That's not funny Mione!"

I smile and sigh. "But seriously. You and Cindy belong together. This is just a bump in the road, and you need to fix it because the times I see you happiest are with her. I don't want it to end. Not for me, but for you, you and Charlotte." I pause and my brother looks into my eyes. "Charlotte needs both of her parents, together...not separate"

"That's not an opinion you Get to have" My brothers tone has a bite in it and I gape at him in shock.

"Oh hell yeah I do!" I yell at him, tired of his mouth already. "I do get to have an opinion in this! I'm the one who saw what happened when you two started dating, first hand! I saw how you went from being a loner and sad all the time to you being happy and having fun! You were finally happy! So when I tell you that it is best to fix things with Cindy I mean it and I know it!" I storm out of the kitchen and lock my bedroom door so I can change and do whatever I want by myself.

I flop onto my bed and scream into the sheets so it's muffled. I pull my phone off of my bedside table blindly and lift my head to see it.

I have four missed calls from Draco and three texts from Theo.

Meet?

Mione answer babes

Me and Seba want to talk to youuu😘😘😘

I laugh and shake my head from the messages. I smile smally and swipe it open to reply.

Ok when? Where?

The Carmel Café 10:45

Got you

I set my phone down after checking the time. It's 9:30 so I have an hour and fifteen minuets to eat ready.

I shower then do my hair. I go with a braid and change into a pair of jean booty shorts with a white T tucked into it and lightly fluffed.

I put on my all white adidas and stand in front of my mirror. I now have 20 minuets to get there. It's ten minuets away, with good roads. So I should leave now I guess. For all I know Theo and Bash are probably already there. I grab my phone and white purse before slipping out of my bedroom.

Xander and Char are sitting at the island with oven cooked waffles and they are talking about who knows what. I walk over and kiss both of their cheeks.

"I'm leaving to meet up with some friends, I don't know when I'll be back" I inform the happy father and daughter. The both nod, food stuffed into their mouths. "Ok by monkeys, don't ruin my house"

-Carmel Café-

I walk into the small Cafe and sigh as I breath in the nice smell of coffee and toast. I look around for Bash and Theo. I find them at a table on the other side of the room by the window seat with a booth.

I walk over to them and sit on Theos side since it was closer.

"Oh wow, am I not good enough for you now" Sebastian fake gasps and I laugh.

"I was too lazy to walk anymore. I had just woke up" I groan and they smile at me.

"Well let's get you some food then. On me"

"No" I shake my head at Theo. "Don't pay for me I got it"

"I swear to god hermione if you don't let me pay for you're food imma hit you"

"Woahhhh" I raise my eyebrows and look at him with wide eyes. "Gettin a little aggressive there, are we"
