Hermione sat on her bed, as a series of knocks tapped on the window. She rubbed her eyes, and opened the window, and an owl flew in with letters.
"It's from the Ministry of Magic," said Parvati, grabbing hers.
"Oh, my, gosh," exclaimed Ginny, "I GOT HARRY! I GOT HARRY!" A group of her posse ran over to see the letter.
"GINNY," exclaimed Lavender, "YOU ARE RECEVING A 4 ½ YEAR OLD BOY!"
Hermione's heart stopped. She couldn't imagine who she could get, now that Harry was gone. She stuck her thumb nail under the flap, and lifted it. She read:
Dear Ms. Granger,
You have been paired with Draco Malfoy. You both will be moving into Cottage Ville, placed in the Wizarding world. It will be just like Muggle life, but in a Wizard community. You will be receiving a 5 year old girl. Name her as you wish. Please report to the great hall when you are dressed, and meet up with Mr. Malfoy. You shall be married before May 15th, don't forget, you may plan with parents, and invite friends. And you will also shop in the town square, or in Hogsmeade. That'll be all.
Ministry of Magic
"Who'd you get... mudblood?" asked Ginny. She made a smirk.
"Ma-ma-
Lavender grabbed the note, "MALFOY!"
"Yah, him," said Hermione, she almost barfed at the thought.
"Wow, they must've thought you were desperate," said Ginny.
"At least I didn't use my cover of a magazine to get Harry, cheater." Ginny's mouth fell open, but Hermione didn't see, she was to busy storming out of the room, and using a charm to change her clothes and hair.
Hermione burst open the Great Hall Doors, to find only Malfoy, sitting at one of the now round tables. He was rubbing his chin and reading the letter over and over. Hermione couldn't help but stare. His hair was flat down, and he had bangs on one side down to his eye lids. He's obviously gotten taller, and his muscles had built. She cocked her head, he looked weird.
Draco's eyes trailed up. He saw Hermione standing their. Obviously she was oblivious of her hair and clothing. She was wearing a deep green short summer dress. Her hair was straightened and in a bun, with one curly bang lingering on her forehead. She grew taller also. She gained weight, but just enough to not make her look to skinny, just, normal.
Hermione walked over to him, and sat down. "Malfoy," she said frowning, and straightening her dress unconsciously.
"Granger," he said in return, looking at her eyes.
Hermione sat down and looked around. Draco conjured some coffee. "I didn't know you drank coffee," she said. Draco conjured another mug and handed her one. They both took a sip.
"Do you have any idea what you're wearing?" Asked Draco looking her, one eyebrow raised.
"Of course," said Hermione, but when she looked down, her eyes opened in terror. "Oh, I hate this dress! Oh," she looked at Draco's smirk, "I mean, this is my favorite dress." Her eyes trailed to his snake on his robes. It was shiny, and she wanted to wear it.
"You too are bright and early," said Dumbledore, as he entered through the staff door.
"As always," said Draco, sneaking a smug look at Hermione.
"Well, you two, your child has arrived," said Dumbledore. He threw a box on their table, which was covered in air holes.
Hermione untied the package and pulled off the cover of the top of the box. She gasped, and Draco had to lean on the table.
A/N Hey everyone, it's me. So, this chapter is longer obviously. You like?
