Belle had learned to use her phone pretty quickly. It never took her long to figure things out, she was grateful for that skill, and she had her father to thank for it. She had acquired some less out of place clothing which she felt entirely too awkward in, jeans and a blue top, and what she was beginning to think of as comfortable shoes.

Her hair was half pulled back so out wouldn't get fully in her face. She was fully intending on exploring the city. However, she was wholly unprepared for it. She'd found her way outside.

And had barely moved an hour later.

She'd had to lean on a wall for a moment the sheer height of the buildings had thrown her off. Where was the sky?! Then once she'd stopped inwardly panicking about that, she'd noticed vehicles. Then she decided looking back up was probably safest. This was unlike anything she'd ever seen in her life, and while she wanted adventure, maybe there was something as too much adventure.

She was oblivious to pretty much everyone, though, looking up, trying to take it all in.

	Draco frowned. Was it some sort of Goodland magic at play? "You're kidding, right?" Or maybe she was just going to pretend he didn't exist. He couldn't say he blamed her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For a moment she looked almost hurt then her expression shifted to incredulous. It took her a moment to remember that kidding meant joking, she'd looked so many things up already, "I would do no such thing. I truly have no idea who you are!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now Draco was concerned. Was she hurt? Did the magic affect her brain? "Gran--Hermione, it is me, Draco. We went to school together for years." Granted, they weren't friends (at all), but he was a little insulted at being forgotten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Belle stared at him, before stepping back a few steps. "I have never been to school. I do not know you. I do not know who this Hermione is, and I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but I am not her." While she'd stepped back, she hadn't taken her eyes off him, and her normally gentle gaze was a little shaper, wary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Draco shook his head. What the hell was happening? She still didn't sound like Hermione, which was the only reason he started reasoning it wasn't her. Did she have a twin? He thought she was an only child. "Wait a second." He could tell she was getting nervous; it was a reaction he once relished in others, but now loathed. "My apologies. You look exactly like someone I know. I'm Draco Malfoy."

	She paused trying to decide if he was serious about his apology, then she relaxed just a tiny bit. She let out a little sigh. "I would say it is a pleasure, under normal circumstances it might very well be. Apologies accepted, I am Belle." She bobbed a half of a curtsy, still a little on edge (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did she just curtsy? Yeah, she definitely did. Draco recalled Hugo mentioning a Princess Belle (whoever that was). It would have been helpful if he also mentioned she doubled for Hermione Granger. Was he supposed to bow? She was royalty, yeah? "Right," he said. He decided not to bow. Their whole exchange was awkward enough. "You are new here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Old habits died hard, Draco. She would, thankfully, never require anything of the sort in return. She would eventually fall out of habit, too, but right now the familiar felt comforting. "I am, yes." A slightly lopsided smile, then a little excitedly, "I have never seen a city this large. I was distracted by it, I am sorry for being rude." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	madmalfoy 2020-08-22 12:31 pm UTC (link)
	"You weren't rude," Draco quickly replied. She hadn't been; he'd just been surprised. "You simply look exactly like someone I know," he admitted. "The resemblance is uncanny." He offered a small smile. "You are from a small town then, Belle?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookishprincess 2020-08-22 12:36 pm UTC (link)
	"That is interesting - does that happen here?" She smiled at him after a moment, "I do hope it isn't a bad resemblance." She would feel bad if it were, even though she certainly had no control over it. "A very, very small town, Draco." She paused to look around, then smiled a little nervously, but it wasn't because of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Draco blushed at her question. He remembered Hermione at the Yule Ball. He'd, for once, been left speechless by her appearance. However, now? He felt ashamed for all the times he mocked her teeth. "No, not at all," he said, finally, meaning it. "Hey, are you alright?" he asked noticing she seemed a little wary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bookishprincess 2020-08-22 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	Belle tilted her head a tiny bit, catching the blush and smiling. "That is good to hear, at least." She tucked a stand of hair back that had come loose, smiling again. "Oh, I'm a little overwhelmed. There is so much to see, and hear, I'm not used to it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	madmalfoy 2020-08-22 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Yeah? I'm heading to..." He thought about how to put it. "Work," he finished finally. "Do you want to walk with me? I can show you some things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If they would be no trouble?" She asked, her smile brighter at the thought of seeing more of this place. She felt bad that Hugo kept taking time to show her around, and she hoped it really was no bother for Draco too. "That would be kind of you. I confess I don't even know where to start!"
