Last time on One Night Changes Everything:
At 5:00PM she closed the shop and proceeded to her flat where she got ready looking like Mia once more. A look that she never thought she would dawn again. Her heart was beating fast as she stood in front of the mirror looking herself over once more when she felt a warmth spread through her and saw that from her abdomen out a faint golden glow spread over her making her look as if she were a part of the legendary race of Fea.
She smiled down at her son to be and laughed as she knew that he had done it. He wanted Draco in her life just as much as she did. "We will get him back my dearest." She said placing a hand softly over her belly. And with that said she turned on the spot apperating out side the gates of Malfoy manor.
Chapter 7: Returning to Him
Her heart was in her throat now as she saw the extremely huge elegant manor that stood behind the gate. As she approached she held out the invitation to the wizard standing next to the gate to let her through it. She pulled a little watch out of her small beaded handbag to see what time it was, 7:20PM. Perfect timing, she thought as she walked in to the entry hall were a small house elf stood taking the traveling cloaks from the guest. She handed hers to the elf with a small thank you as nerves were not allowing much talking to happen. She followed the crowd of people as they made their way to ball room, she hoped. She past a classic two sided curving stairway with an exquisite chandelier hanging down in the middle of the hall. She walked for an other minute or so when she came to the entry of the ball room where she saw two people greeting their guests.
She saw Lucius and Pansy towards the front and giggled to herself, for only Pansy would choose such a wretched outfit of a body hugging red sequenced dress with a matching mask with sparkling feathers around the whole outside blocking part of her mouth. Many of the people Hermione saw going in were giggling at her and pointing back towards her. Hermione reached the couple next and was taken aback when Lucius stopped and open mouthed stared at her making Pansy look at Hermione with evil eyes. Pansy smacked Lucius on the shoulder which shook him out it and he proceeded forward to take her hand and kiss it, which he had not done to any of the other women who came before her. Pansy recognized her from the graduation ball as the girl who ruined her night by stealing Draco away from her. She squinted her eyes at her puckered her lips up tight as if bighting back the insults she would love to spit at her.
"Thank you for attending our ball. We would like to invite you to enjoy your self and if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask!" Lucius said with the Malfoy smirk on his face that Hermione .
"Ah, yes, thank you for your kindness," and seeing the look of hatred and jealously on Pansy's face and Hermione wanted to get away from Lucius as fast as she could, "Good luck on your marriage."
"May I be so bold to ask you your name?" He asked her.
Taking one look back at Pansy Hermione knew it was too bold of him in her eyes and pushing her luck, "Mia." She said quickly as she pulled her little watch out of a hidden pocket on her dress that concealed her wand, 7:30PM. "Please do excuse me." She said as she swiftly moved past the two and into the room, which of course was breath taking. Nothing less for the Malfoy's.
As she entered the room she was standing on a slightly raised platform that led down to the dance floor. A song that took her off guard started playing, As The World Falls Down, the very song she had first danced with Draco with. The music started out softly and with a shiver she looked down to the middle of the dance floor and saw him standing there surrounded by many people dancing. He had a wicked grin on his face and so she made her way down toward him as the music progressed.
(AN: Hey sorry to interrupt but if you want to hear the song go to my myspace profile and click on video on the left hand side under the general section. THANKS)
There's such a sad Love,
Deep in your eyes,
A kind of pale jewel,
Open and closed,
Within your eyes,
I'll place the sky,
Within your eyes,
People danced in front of her making it difficult to make her way through, and when she looked back up to see Draco he had disappeared in the crowd.
There's such a fooled heart,
Beating so Fast,
In search of new dreams,
A love that will last,
Within your heart,
I'll place the moon,
Within your heart,
She looked around the dance floor franticly. Where did he go? She spotted him standing next to a dancing couple. She stared to walk toward him.
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you,
Every thrill is gone,
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you,
As the world falls down,
Falling,
Falling down,
Falling in love,
She finally reached him and he outstretched his hand, and as she took his that same shock burst through them like electricity. They began to dance.
I'll paint you mornings of gold,
I'll spin you valentine evenings,
Though we're strangers till now,
We're choosing a path,
Between the stars,
I'll lay my love,
Between the stars,
Around the dance floor he led her once again and they felt as if they were the only two in the room, engulfed with each other and totally taken as well.
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you,
Every thrill is gone,
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you,
As the world falls down,
Falling,
Falling down,
Falling,
As the world falls down,
Falling,
Falling,
Falling in Love.
And as the song ended softly they stopped in the middle of the dance floor unable to let go of each other just looking each other in the eyes with longing that had been withheld for 5 long months which felt like centuries.
"Mia…" Draco whispered as if a sigh of relief went passed his lips, "Your back."
"I'm sorry it took so long, I just, oh there is just so much to say." She said as he swiftly dipped his head down and kissed her sending a wave of power so strong through them that they were engulfed with a golden light that stopped everyone around them.
Draco's father froze dead in his tracks of dancing with a horribly ungraceful Pansy to stare at his son. "He has found his half." Was all that came from him as Pansy gave the two a death glare at stealing her spot light just as she knew the girl had done at the ball, stealing Draco away from her that night.
"Kiss me!" Pansy demanded as she pulled Lucius hard into a hard unromantic kiss. All that happened was Lucius pulling back and slapping her across the face. Which only caught the attention of those standing next to them and it did not even faze them. These people lived as Lucius lived and treated their wives as he did now so they nodded in approval.
"If you ever do something like that again in front of guests I will beat you till you wished I would kill you!" He exclaimed in a harsh whisper.
Tears welled in her eyes but she bit her lip in silent obedience. She would be his perfect wife as she loved him till the end.
Draco and Hermione ended their kiss and looked into each others eyes, as the glow around them slowly ended. The music started up and people started to dance again. The event of the two's kiss fading to the back of most minds as they begin to absorb in their own minds once more.
"Come with me." Draco said more of a command than a request but she followed with no hesitation. He led her out the door toward the gardens he had made to reflect the gardens of Hogwarts the night they met.
"You did go all out on the replicating of our meeting," She said softly, mostly to herself.
"I need for us to feel that way, and as comfortable together as before and I always felt most comfortable at Hogwarts, didn't you?" He asked in fascination.
"Yes I did," She replied in a dreamy voice that didn't feel like her own, "I loved that school, still do. We really did grow up there so its like our beginning." She paused than took in a deep breath to steady herself for she knew what she must do know, tell him everything.
"Listen, I know you wouldn't have come here tonight if you really didn't care," Draco said before she could begin, "So I feel that when you are ready to tell me what really happened these last 5 months than do it, but don't do it to please me." He ended taking her hand in his. Her skin was so soft and warm even though they were sitting outside at the moment.
"I, well, thank you but I do need to tell you now if we plan to continue our relationship any further, because I now have more than myself to think of." She said placing a loving hand over her magically flattened belly and felt him move softly inside. She grinned faintly, but Draco saw it and did the same.
"Lets walk a bit than we can go inside to my room where we can sit more comfortably, I don't want you two out here in the evening chill. She nodded and both stood up and began to walk.
"So have you thought of any names?" He asked her feeling that same rush of excitement that came across him while at her flat.
"No, I haven't, I mean I had just found out he was a boy about a week ago. I was so excited to know he was healthily and than the medi witch told me he was a boy and it has just been over whelming to really take it in all on my own." She told him looking back to the ground. "I mean I never dreamed I would be able to have you back."
"Why do you do that Mia?" He asked her taking her chin in his hand and lifting her face to face him.
"Do what?" She asked.
"Look to the ground? You did the same thing the night I met you too and I told you the same thing then, you should never look to the ground but keep your chin up above all the rest." He said smiling at her. She smiled back at him and he bent down and kissed her once more sending her heart into a flutter, "Now the only reason you do that is you either are afraid or you are nervous. So which is it this time?" He asked as he felt both emotions rise in him from her.
"I love it out here but what I have to say needs to be said inside." She said to him slowing down.
"Yes we can go to my room but lets walk for now." They continued their walk through the garden with fairy's flying around them carrying around little lights to light up the garden.
"I saw had you gotten engaged for a bit there in the paper. Forced into it then?" She asked with a sly grin on her face.
"Well I had to protect my mother while she was still here from my father. She's gone now though so I don't have to play his games anymore." He told her.
"Where did she go?" She asked him holding his hand tight in hers.
"She went with her long time lover Orion. He was more of a father figure to me than my own father so I called him Uncle Orion. I only hope that they are safe. I can only imagine the pain my father might try to do." Draco said.
"Well if your mother and him are truly in love he will do anything to protect her." She said simply.
"Too true." He agreed. "So do you want to go in then?"
She gave him a wickedly sexy smile before turning and running to lose herself in the maze of bushes. He gave her a bit of a head start liking the fact that she was playing with him trying to make the situation more comfortable for the both of them. He went after her turning left and then right then saw a ruffle of whit dress turn the next corner. He could hear her giggling as he followed her. He then trapped her in a dead end and she had a huge smile on her face.
"Your trapped!" He exclaimed.
"Never!" She said to him and she started toward him in a full on run. He put his arms out to bring her in but right before she got to him she jumped and was flying in the air, not just floating or jumping high but flying. He had never seen anything like that! He also noticed the glow admitting from her which he took to be the child helping his mother with magical power.
He stood and watched her float gracefully in the air.
She turned and floated down gracefully into his arms. "That was amazing," He whispered to her, "You are amazing."
"Our son is amazing." She said to him taking his hand and placing in on her abdomen, he felt him move under his touch and his eyes flooded with tears of joy.
