Hermione wakes up before Draco the next morning at 6 am and starts getting ready.
She would have woken Draco up immediately but he looked so peaceful and...cute that she just couldn't. They had plenty of time anyway.
Soon, Hermione is completely ready to go out and she still hasn't woken Draco up. Sighing she walks over to the bed and nudges him
"Draco. Wake up. We need to leave in an hour...Draco!" She says loudly
He shoots up when she yells his name and they bonk heads together
Rubbing his head Draco asks, "Why were you so close to me? That hurt."
"I was waking you up! I know it hurt, I felt it too. You should probably get ready. We need to leave in an hour...you should also probably wear something a bit more casual. Muggles don't dress the way you do." She tells him, getting up and grabbing a hairbrush and a comb to transfigure into two ice packs for their bumps.
"Here. It's an ice pack. I'm going to lie down while you get ready. Let me know when you're done and we'll leave." She says, laying back down on the bed
"Hey. Will this be okay to wear?" Draco asks, holding up a black button-down and black dress pants
His entire closet is the same...isn't it.
I'll need to buy him some muggle clothes.
"That's fine...but we need to get you some muggle clothes. My parents are muggles. And we'll be traveling a lot today so you might want something more comfortable. We can get you something in Oxford." She tells him, closing her eyes as he shuffled around the room and bathroom
Thirty minutes later, Draco is shaking Hermione awake and telling her that he was ready and they could leave whenever.
Hermione gets up and fixes what she had messed up while napping and then transfigures the ice packs back into their natural states
"Let's grab a bit of breakfast from the kitchen and then head out. I could use a cuppa too." She yawns, following Draco out of his room and to the kitchen
"A cup of tea does sound wonderful right about now." He agrees
By the time they've both had a spot of breakfast and tea, it's half nine since Hermione let Draco sleep in so they head out of the manor and apparate to Oxford.
"I figure we could stop by my house first and then I can show you my primary school and places I used to go to. There's also a good clothing shop where we can get you some more comfortable clothes. Then we can pop on over to London and I can show you around a bit before stopping at the Westfield and grabbing lunch." She explains
After a few minutes of walking, Hermione stops in front of a house with a gray door and lots of shrubbery surrounding the façade.
"This is it." Hermione says quietly
Draco assumes she hadn't been here since before she left to go on the run. This was hard for her and he knew it.
Draco remains silent but grabs her hand in a comforting gesture
"Do you want to knock on the door? Maybe they know where your parents went?" Draco suggests after a few silent minutes
"I'm sure it wouldn't hurt..." she says
Draco leads her up the walkway where he knocks on the door and waits for an answer
"Yes?" A blonde woman asks, answering the door
"Hi. We're sorry to bother you but we were wondering if you knew where the previous owners of this house moved?" Draco asks, he knew Hermione probably wouldn't be able to ask
