Mudblood & Me | Completed

Chapter 44 - Maybe you are pretty clever

Hermione's POV

I hadn't bothered to wake Draco this morning as I didn't feel in any mood to talk to him, yet now I had just signed myself up to go on a 10 minute long walk, alone with him. Someone else could have gone, someone else could have just given him directions but it was a bit late now, I had said I would go. I went up the stairs quickly, and grabbed my trainers that I had kicked off by the door of my shared bedroom with Draco and pulled them on before heading back downstairs. My hair was a mess so I pulled it into a ponytail so that it was out of my face before pushing open the kitchen door with my foot.

"Are you ready to go, Draco?" I asked. "We'll see you later, Mrs Weasley. We shouldn't be too long, 45 minutes at most." She nodded and went back to eating.

"Yeah, let's go." Draco replied, then he followed me out of the kitchen and out the front door. I didn't want to walk the whole way in silence so I decided to start talking rather than leaving it to him because he wouldn't want to pressure me into talking to him as he had barely said a word to me either.

"Are you just going to buy another suit or will you be more varied this time?" I asked, with a grin as I decided I would rather keep the mood light rather than bring up the fact I could barely look at him without remembering him pointing a wand at me and how long it took him to stop. But then again I couldn't imagine what it had done to him being controlled by Bellatrix. He barely suppressed his visible surprise at me being the first one to speak.

"I can dress casually as well, I just like to be well dressed." He replied. "It just depends on what any of these shops have."

"Wait, how are you going to pay for any of this surely all your money is wizard's money and you can't access that anyway?" I asked, turning to look up at his face.

"I'm not stupid, I was ready to leave and stored some money away in a muggle bank account so it can be used as muggle money." He answered, looking down at me with a smirk.

"So maybe you are pretty clever, I had my doubts." I said with a laugh. He playfully shoved me as I just smiled. We carried on chatting and joking as we walked down the road until we reached the shops. We went into the first shop we came across and I gave my opinion on the many different outfits he tried on before he finally bought several t-shirts, a couple hoodies, a coat, a couple pairs of jeans and pyjamas. Then we headed back to 12 Grimmauld Place.

Ginny's POV

I couldn't help but worry at my nail as I sat on the bed in the bedroom I shared with Harry. My mind was all over the place, I couldn't believe I was back here and safe and somehow everyone had come out alive but that wasn't my main worry. I was worried about whether Hermione was okay she had barely said a word to anyone and now she had gone out, alone, with Draco and she had been gone for a while. But I couldn't just worry about her I needed to get ready for the day so I decided to go for a shower and actually get some proper clothes on. I went into the tiled bathroom which could really do with a clean. That could be something I did later there wan't much else to do here. I showered quickly and then went back into the bedroom. I got dressed in an old t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I dutch braided my wet hair to keep it out of my face. I presumed that there were probably no cleaning supplies in the house and I had no plans of walking down to the shops, I would get one of the twins to apparate me there. I went downstairs into the kitchen, somehow my mum had dragged the twins into helping her with the dishes.

"Fred or George can one of you apparate me to the supermarket, please?" I asked. I was sure that they would mock my politeness but if I hadn't have said please they would have kept on bugging me to say the 'magic word'. Fred turned to me quickly dropping the towel he was holding in a second.

"Sure, I will take you." He said, obviously eager to not have to help with the dishes. He then took my arm and before I knew it the world was twisting around me. My feet landed on solid ground and we were in the nearest supermarket.

"You can just wait here." I said. "I will come back once I've got what I need." He nodded but immediately began wandering down the aisle, I held in a sigh. I would just have to try and find him later, my main focus was getting the cleaning supplies so that I could sort out that bathroom. I realised a slight problem I had no idea where the cleaning supplies were in this place. I just began wandering down aisle after aisle until I finally found the one I wanted. I picked up a couple products and some sponges before deciding that would be enough. I walked to the end of the aisle and I must have been lucky because I saw a ginger head go down an aisle a couple meters away. I ran to catch up with him, Fred turned and saw me.

"If you've got everything let's go pay." He said. I let him lead me to the tills because I had no idea where they were but he seemed like he knew. Once I had paid, he apparated me back to 12 Grimmauld Place.
