Just summer love? (A dramione story)

Chapter 1- The letter

School has just ended for the year, the infamous battle is over, and Hermione is reunited with her loving parents.

Hermione's POV

"Hermione, come down for dinner" I hear my mum shout. I quickly reply 

"I'm coming mum" as I disapparate into the kitchen. 

"Hermione! I understand that you are a witch who can use magic at home now, but please, understand that everytime something 'magical' happens, it is still strange for us"

"Sorry mum" I apologize. It's been almost a month since the battle at Hogwarts, and I still feel the weight of the lives we have lost. Fred, lupin, Tonks, and Colin creevey. Even the people who died before, mad eye moody...Albus Dumbledore

I found my parents in Australia after the war, it took time,  but their memories were restored after a couple of reversal charms. We sit down to eat dinner, when I suddenly see a letter on table with handwriting on the envelope that I vaguely recognize. "Mum, who is that letter for" I casually question her.

"Oh sorry darling, I forgot, it's for you. It arrived in the mail this morning" I open the envelope cautiously and inside is a letter. I open the letter and begin to read the paragraph that would change my life forever, but I did not know it then.

Dear Hermione, 

Remember me, Anastasia. We haven't seen each other in a while, a long while. I was wondering if you would like to stay with me during the rest of the summer holidays?  It's in a secluded town towards the countryside. 

Please write back if you can. If so we will be ready for you whenever you want to stay. I  have put the address on the back of this letter.

See you soon, hopefully,

Stasie 

Stasie is my childhood friend. We grew up together, our parents would always say that we were sisters. We haven't seen each other in a while as I went to hogwarts. "It's from stasie, she invited me to go and spend the rest of the summer with her" I explain to my mum

"Oh, we only just got you back, but you can go, you haven't spoken in quite a while and I would like to see you two friends again" she replies. "Where is it?"

I turn the letter over, and sure enough, the address is written in her neat curly handwriting.

56 crescent avenue, London, England

"You better get packing Hermione if you want to leave tomorrow"

I nod my head and quickly finish my Sunday roast dinner. Then run upstairs to pack my bag. I think to myself, 'how much should I bring', eventually (after a long while of thinking), I neatly fold and pack a couple of dresses, shorts, tops and my favorite slip on pumps. I get ready for bed and snuggle down underneath the duvet, and drift of into a long, deep sleep, dreaming about what awaits in the summer to come.

Draco's POV

I'm reading a book when my father, Lucius Malfoy, barges into my room. For a moment I'm scared, scared he's going to punish me again for disappointing himself and the dark lord those many months ago. I picture my bruises, the burns on my back where his belt stroked me. Time after time, until I passed out from shock.

Eventually he speaks, "Draco, i received a letter from you cousin Anastasia this morning. She has invited you to stay in her country house for the rest of the summer. You are going tomorrow so pack your things immediately" he states in a sly, smooth accent.

"Yes father" I reply, relieved he wasn't here to give me another beating. He leaves the room, slamming the door as he goes. I quickly get up and walk over to where he flung my case on the floor, moments before he left. I throw in some clothes that are suitable, a suit just in case, a couple pairs of shoes, and of course, my hair gel.

Anastasia and I were close when we were young, she knows I'm a wizard, even though she is a muggle. I sneer as I try to imagine her a a witch. She would probably end up like Granger, that filthy mudblood. 

I slip under my deep green sheets as I close my eyes, dreading the summer that awaits...
