coolgems1630: Thank you for the review. I'm confused about your question though. What did you mean by English not being my favorite language? I actually live in the United States, and I speak fluent English. It's my second language. (:

Azyvli: about your question, it's all going to happen in this chapter!

Chapter 6.

"I told you it was a trap!" Ron turned to his parents, whom looked like they were hit by a stunning spell.

"I will not marry that ferret!" Ginny shouted as she pushed back her chair and stood up. Once she stood up, her parents and Harry did the same. Mrs. Weasley put her arms around Ginny protectively.

"And you won't have to." Mr. and Mrs. Weasley said in unison to their youngest child. At their comment, Lucius got angry. A Malfoy never gets rejected, especially by someone as low as the Weasley family. Instead of feeling sad or heartbroken about the rejection Draco received from his suppose to be mate, he actually felt happy.

He even smiled at the thought, and this didn't go unnoticed by his father. "What in Merlin's wand are you smiling about Draco? You just got rejected by your mate, and you dare smile about it…" Lucius didn't complete his sentence for he has just realized that his wife might've been wrong about the young Weasley being his son's mate.

Lucius fell back to his chair at the realization. There must have been some other girl present in the store with Draco. Lucius thought. But who? He tried his best to remember the exact words his wife told him about the incident, how Potter and his friends…his friends.

"That mudblood…" he whispered, all to himself. He almost fainted if Ron yelling didn't snap him back to reality.

"Let's go Hermione." Ron wrapped his arms around Hermione's wrist and yanked her out of her chair.

"DON'T TOUCH HER, YOU WEASEL." Draco got up and launched himself to Ron, right across the table. Draco didn't know what had gotten in to him as he continued to throw punches at Ron.

When Ron had touch Hermione, its like something went off inside of Draco. His Veela self. His old self would've enjoyed Hermione suffering from the grasp of Ron, but when he saw her flinch in pain once Ron grabbed hold of her wrist, he felt protective of her.

"Get him off me!" Ron cried, trying his best to throw punches at Draco, but miserably failed.

Lucius and Arthur got up and pulled Draco off of Ron, as Hermione just stood there, bewildered with what just happened. Were they just fighting… over me? She asked herself.

Lucius tried his best to restrain his son, but when he held onto him, Draco just growled.

"We apologize. There has been some misunderstanding." Narcissa cut in. "It seems that your daughter isn't Draco's mate." She explained. "You see, we Malfoys' have Veela blood, and Draco's has become dominant, hence his collapse when your daughter held his hand. He had a difficult time breathing because his mate was near." She continued.

"I wasn't the only one around him at the time," Ginny protested. "How can you be so sure it's not Harry or Ron, or better yet, Mr. Montrose, the store owner." She joked, receiving a soft chuckle from Ron and Harry.

Draco realized that she was right; she wasn't the only one that was near him at the time. Granger…She was looking right into my eyes just before I collapsed. He told himself.

"Father… is it possible… can she really be my mate?" Draco asked his father. His father knew quickly that his son was talking about Hermione.

"There's only one way to find out son…" Lucius told Draco, as he whispered a demand into his son's ears.

Before they knew it, Draco was making his way to Hermione; who just looked at him as if he was going to attack her.

"What do you…" Before Hermione could even finish her sentence, she was caught off guard when Draco cupped her face with his hands and kissed her.

Everyone just stood there shock to even to anything about it. Hermione tried struggling, but Draco had wrapped his arms around her waist, disabling her from escaping. She soon gave up, and kissed him back.

When Draco had pulled away, both of them had a hard trouble breathing. He simply turned and nodded at his father. When he turned to face Hermione, instead of coming in contact with her face, his cheeks came in contact with her hand.

"How dare you…" Hermione fumed.

"Oh, don't act like you didn't like it." Draco smirked.

"Why you…" Hermione was getting ready her wand, but before she could send a hex towards him, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had stopped her.

"Mum, Dad! We were just getting to the good part." Ron complained. His parents simply rolled his eyes at him, and turned to face Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy.

"It was nice of you to invite us, and ask for our daughter's hand in marriage," Mr. Weasley said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "But we best get going now." And with that, each member of the Weasley family, including Harry and Hermione made a beeline towards the fireplace, and Flooed back to the Burrow.

Once they were gone, Narcissa turned back to her husband and son, "Well that went well." She announced, clapping her hands together.

"That is an understatement mother." Draco said. "But I did enjoy it, you should invite them to dinner more often." He suggested as he traced his lips with his fingers.

"I was just getting use to the fact that that Weasley was your mate, now I have that mudblood to worry about tainting our Malfoy line." Lucius began, but he was quickly thrown to the ball by his son.

"Don't ever call her that. Ever again." He spat at his father before making his way back to his bedroom.

"Oh, I remember when you were like that whenever Sirius tried to tease me back when we were at Hogwarts." Mrs. Malfoy said dreamily, not even bothering to help her husband out.
