Ferret Fiancée 2

Hermione POV

About an hour later, I got the owl telling me to return to the Ministry to meet my soon-to-be. Time to meet my fiancée. Yay. Always fun to meet the man you are being forced to marry against your will. I took the Floo network there. For the second time that day, I went to the Minister's office. Millicent didn't fail to snarl at me again. I ignored her.

Instead of having Millicent go in and inform Kingsley of my arrival, I just went into the office. I wasn't planning on waiting any longer to see who the man was.

"Well, Kinglsey. Let's meet the bloke I am being forced to marry-" I began. I stopped short when I saw who the man was sitting across from Kingsley was. You have got to be kidding me! Him, of all people, it had to be him?

"Malfoy?" I was shocked. My fiancée was the bloody bouncing ferret? Not possible! Life must really hate me!

"Hello Granger. Long time, no see." Malfoy said, conversationally. Weird. I thought he would be throwing insults my way on sight. "So, why are you here?" Kingsley hasn't told him! He doesn't know who he is marrying! Or maybe he doesn't know he is being forced to marry at all! Oh this is going to be hilarious. I smiled, deviously, earning a bit of a freaked out look from Malfoy.

"Kingsley, tell him." I said, trying to suppress a giggle and not taking my eyes off Malfoy until he turned to Kingsley. Maybe I would get some entertainment today. It certainly would help me fell a little better about marrying the ferret.

"Ha-ha" Nervous laughter from Kingsley. "Right. About that. Mr. Malfoy, we have brought back the old marriage law. And, well, we have found you a match."

Malfoy just looked confused. He glanced back and forth between Kingsley and myself. "Who is it?" He asked cautiously. He looked suspicious. Maybe he was finally catching on to why I was here too. I can't wait for his reaction. I wish I had a camera. His face would be priceless! Maybe if the both of us are against it, Kingsley will repeal it! Now I am counting on Malfoy. Never thought I would say that.

"Ms. Granger here." Kingsley tried to reassure him with a smile. It didn't seem to work.

"What? But she hates me! She will kill me!" What? Why didn't he call me a Mudblood or say how much he hated me? Why didn't he say we would kill each other?

"I know. I know. But you two will be married! That's final!" Kingsley demanded, as if we were bickering children. I was a little offended. Maybe Malfoy was childish, but I certainly wasn't! Kingsley was finished either. "And you two can NOT get a divorce! If you argue, you will have to work it out yourselves! Understand?" Kingsley told us forcefully. Are we children? I don't think so.

"Yes" we mumbled in unison. Begrudgingly, I might add.

"Good. Now leave." Kingsley dismissed us from his office. We both left. When we got outside the office, Millicent glared at me and winked at Malfoy. He looked repulsed. Can't say I blame him. She is repulsive. When Millicent did that, Malfoy quickened his pace. I did the same to keep up with him.

"That went well" I said, defeated. Malfoy quirked an eyebrow at me. "What? You're going to be my husband. Can I not talk to you?"

He looked forward again and shrugged and we continued walking in a fairly comfortable silence.

Draco POV

I love how that sounds. Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger's fiancée. I have loved her since just before the war began. I was worried every second that she had died. It killed me inside when Bellatrix tortured her, and I had to sit there and watch. I wish I could have done something to save her. She fought and she sacrificed so much to save other people. She wasn't just another Mudblood. She wasn't just another witch. She was the most amazing, selfless, beautiful person. I have hated myself for three years now for being so cruel to her.

I only fought against the engagement because I knew it would make her unhappy. I am really happy that she is the one matched to me. It must mean the Ministry people think we are compatible. Or they want us dead and figured to let each other have the honour. But I doubt that. It my take time, but I really want her to love me as much as I love her. I want her to be happy about marrying me. I vow now, to be the best husband possible for her.

Hermione POV

As we walked down Diagon Alley, Malfoy took a sharp right. Trying to mimic his move, I almost hit a wall. Not my best moment. Luckily, Malfoy didn't notice. "Where are you going?" I asked him.

"Just follow me" He replied, without turning around to look at me. I had a feeling he was smirking. Probably because he thought it was a stupid question that I asked.

"Are you going to lure me into a dark alley and kill me quietly?" I asked. It was an honest question. I mean with his and his family's history. Though, I guess I shouldn't judge him on his family's actions.

Malfoy turned and gave me a look that said "Are you an idiot?" I rolled my eyes and followed him against my better judgment. I had never been in this part of Diagon Alley before.

We continued to walk along the alley, until we came to a small, rustic shop. It was cute little store. Malfoy kept walking and went inside. I followed. Still, against my better judgment. Who knows? This could be where he plans to off me. The way he is acting says other wise though.

Before I went inside the shop, I looked at the name of it. My eyes widened. I couldn't believe it. It said:
