A/N: Hey.....sorry for the wait. Kinda preoccupied. But alas, no fear. I apologize. I look like trash rn, wearing my old Hufflepuff Quidditch sweatshirt, where I am being probably the complete opposite of athletic. I am laying on a bed, a hood on my head, listening to the Back to the Future theme while bloated from the pizza I ate. I haven't stopped thinking about food and Dramione, so I decided to Frankenstein's monster the two things together.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!

Draco was sitting at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall, waiting for the food to magically appear on the table. The food appeared, and his "friends" Crabbe and Goyle began honking down tubloads of food. As he looked at the Gryffindor table, Ron Weasley was doing the same thing. Come on, he knew that gingernut was poor, but he was eating like he couldn't afford food for months!

Hermione Granger, however, did not eat anything from the table. Instead, she pulled out something from the tray. A tray of...what?

Honestly, Draco did not know what it was, but it certainly looked delicious, so he came over to investigate, bringing his own fork and plate over with him.

"Psst."

Hermione ignored him.

"Psst. Granger."

"What?" Hermione annoyingly snapped.

"What is that?" Draco pointed to the tray.

"Homemade mac and cheese with bacon. Why? Does it bother your pureblood nose?" Granger sarcastically drawled.

"No, um, would you mind if I..." Draco reached for the tray with his fork.

"No!" Hermione slapped his hand away.

"Come on, please?" Draco begged.

Hermione had a look of absolute bafflement plastered upon her face.

"What?"

"Sorry, I didn't know the great Draco "Richer Than Croesus" Malfoy had the word "please" in his limited vocabulary." Hermione nonchalantly said, contradicting her flabbergasted facial expression.

Draco gave her a look.

"Fine," Hermione said as she took the plastic wrap off the tray and using a spell to heat the mac and cheese off.

"calidum cibum" Hermione cast, heating up the food. She used a serving spoon and put some on his plate.

"There. Happy now?"

Draco muttered a "thank you" before going back to his house table. He took a bite and reacted. Very positively.

"OH MERLIN HOW?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After he was finished with his Mac and Cheese, an owl flew through the hall and dropped a neat black box with a green ribbon onto Draco's table.

"Ursa! Wait up! Come, boy!" Draco whistled at his family's owl.

The owl came by, looking rather cranky.

"Ursa, I want you to give this box to that girl over there."

The owl looked annoyed at the fact it was being used more like a carrier pigeon than an owl, but nonetheless, Ursa delivered the box to Hermione.

"What is this?" Hermione walked over to the Slytherin table and sat in an empty seat next to Draco, not minding the dirty looks her fellow Gryffindors gave her, practically burning into her skin.

"That is my mum's special recipe for chocolate cake." Draco happily explained.

"The Narcissa Malfoy makes chocolate cake?"

"Yes. Best in the world!"

"We'll see about that." Hermione Wingardium Leviosaaa'd the slice of cake out of the box and put it on her plate and ate it.

"You know, you might be right, Malfoy. This is...amazing. You have to send me her recipe sometime." Hermione exclaimed.

"Well then, how about that Mac and Cheese recipe? I'd love to share it with my mother."

"I give you my recipe, you give me your mum's."

"Maybe we can talk about it at the Three Broomsticks."

"Looks like we have a deal."
