hey guys, well here's the next chapter. Hermione finally meets the Malfoys :D don't own Harry Potter :(
'Ready to go, 'Mione?' She nodded. He held out his arm and they waved good bye, and apparated to Malfoy Manor.
Hermione opened her eyes and saw that they were stood outside the gates of Malfoy Manor. It was beautiful, many people said that it gave you the creeps and what not, but Hermione could honestly say that she didn't get the 'creeps' instead she saw a beautiful manor. It looked very old, and the architecture was magnificent; truly.
The large black gates; were intimidating, but Hermione guessed that they served the purpose to keep out unwanted guests; like her. Hermione laughed a little inside; she was an unwanted guest but soon enough she would be living here. A mudblood living in Malfoy Manor, because she was married to the Malfoy heir. Draco looked down at his wife-to-be.
'Are you okay Hermione?' She nodded rather enthusiastically, he wondered whether she might actually like the place.
'Okay then, well lets go in. I just have to change the wards slightly so that you can get in, but once we get married you'll be able to come and go as you please.' she nodded once again. Draco waved his wand while muttering something, then he walked through the gates. Hermione gaped, he actually walked through them, they didn't open or anything.
She was a witch and all so it wasn't the shock of seeing someone walk through a gate it was just she expected something a lot more grand. Her train of thoughts were interrupted when Draco gestured for Hermione to do the same. She walked through the gate albeit a little hesitantly. To be honest she was expecting that she would be struck down by lightening or whatever for dirtying the manor's drive way.
Hermione and Draco walked up the drive way, Hermione was in awe, she could see some of the famous Malfoy gardens that looked spectacular, she even saw a few of the notorious albino peacocks. This wasn't the first time that Hermione had been to the manor, her last visit was something she would never forget but this was her first time at the manor where she was an invited guest.
And the last time she came here she only ever saw the drawing room, she had never seen all the beauty that was Malfoy Manor. They walked up the driveway in companionable silence, every so often Draco would show her something or answer a few of her question, but they finally reached the huge doors to the entrance. Draco touched the door and they immediately swung open.
A small house elf quickly appeared by their side.
'Ah Master Draco and Miss Hermione, who will be my new mistress.' The elf bowed so low his nose touched the ground.
'Yes hello Itch, where are my parents?' Draco said.
'They is out in the gardens young master. Shall I bed telling them that you have arrived with the new miss?'
'No that's fine, me and Hermione can get their ourselves.' Itch who looked slightly downtrodden because he was denied the chance to serve the new miss, nodded in acceptance. Hermione who saw the look on his face looked up to Draco.
'Um Draco maybe Itch could show us to your parents, so we don't get lost.'
'Itch would love to show the new miss!' the elf replied with glee.
'Hermione I've grown up here I won't get lost. We don't need him-' Hermione swiftly elbowed Draco in his stomach.
'We would love for you to show us out to the gardens Itch. Won't we?' She looked at Draco, who finally understood what she was on about.
'Yeah, go on Itch take her to my parents.' Draco rubbed his stomach gently.
Draco held out his hand for Hermione to take; which she did. He liked the feel of her hand in his, it was comforting. They walked down a long corridor and through a few rooms. After what seemed like forever they made it out to the gardens where they saw Narcissa and Lucius sat at the table talking.
'Mother, father. We're here.' Lucius and Narcissa looked up to see their son and his fiancee. They stood up and walked over to their son. Narcissa wrapped her arms around her son.
'Oh Draco, honey I haven't seen you for so long. Well at least you'll be moving back into the manor, and out of your apartment.' Narcissa finally let go of her son. Lucius and Draco shook hands, they even smiled at each other.
'Mother, father I'd like to introduce you to my fiancee Hermione Granger.' Draco had no idea as to how this meeting would go, his parents would either hate her or love her; there was no in between.
Narcissa stepped towards Hermione and engulfed her in a hug. Hermione was taken back; she half expected for Narcissa to try and push her off a balcony rather than hug her.
'Welcome to the family .' She was eased out of the tight embrace.
'Please call me Hermione, Mrs Malfoy.' she tried to smile at the Lady Malfoy.
'Well only if you call me Narcissa.' The woman smiled at Hermione; rather warmly in fact. Hermione looked at Lucius who smirked at her; the evil bastard; but then she noticed a lack of evil; in fact the smirk was more friendly than she expected.
'Yes Miss Granger, welcome to the family. I trust that Draco is treating you well.' Hermione was too stunned to say anything so she just nodded. Narcissa nearly squealed in excitement.
'Well lets get seated, I can't wait to get to know you better Hermione, dear.' Hermione still rather stunned allowed Draco to navigate her to her seat; he was the perfect gentlemen. At this point Hermione felt the only way Narcissa would kill her is by smothering her with love and affection, even Lucius was trying to smile at her.
They were all sat down and another elf came and served drinks, Hermione was just about to sip her wine when Narcissa interrupted her.
'Hermione, we know that you and Draco are not each others first choice, we understand that this has been thrust upon you, however we also know that over time the love will grow. But before we say anything else me and Lucius just wanted to apologize to you. We know that over the years our behavior has hurt you deeply, and well your last visit to the manor – we just don't know how to apologize-'
Before Narcissa could continue Hermione interrupted her.
'Narcissa I have never blamed you or anyone for what happened during that summer, I never have. You had no control over what happened. And as for the misunderstandings before, well I forgive you for that. Draco has shown me that he has changed into a better man. And all I would like for now is for us to live happily with each other.' Hermione had no idea how all that had come out, she wasn't even aware of what she was saying, but what she did know was that what she had said was the truth, she never would or did blame the Malfoys for what that lunatic Bellatrix did.
She looked up to see surprise etched into Lucius features; apparently he didn't expect forgiveness at all. Narcissa on the other hand had tears in her eyes.
'Oh Hermione sorry about this, we just never expected for you to forgive us. What we've done all these years was just horrible, we never thought you would forgive us so easily.' Hermione got up from her chair and went and hugged Narcissa. It seemed that all was going well, Draco knew that his parents had changed, well Lucius was by all means no muggle lover, who went giddy at the thoughts of integrating with them, but he also no longer harbored violent urges to go on a killing spree and murder muggles, muggleborns, and blood traitors.
Narcissa on the other hand had never really been pro Voldemort from the beginning, she was a good wife who supported her husband in whatever lunacy he took part in. She also didn't love muggles, but she was rather at peace with them. Draco knew that his mother had a cold exterior to those who she didn't know or like, but once you cracked past that Cissa was a warm and delightful person. Lucius interrupted Draco's train of thought.
'Miss Granger we want you to know that we are grateful that you have forgiven us. Please Cissa calm down, now how about dinner?' Hermione nodded, she was still in Narcissa's death grip, she looked back to see Draco smiling. Maybe things would turn out alright. When Narcissa finally let go of Hermione they all sat outside while eating dinner.
Everything went well, Lucius and Narcissa asked her question and she answered them, most of them were about her and what she was doing in life. After dessert they moved to the terrace where they had drinks, they were sat around a very elegant table where the stars were their ceiling.
'So Hermione, Draco have you thought about a date for the wedding?' Narcissa probed. Hermione looked at Draco.
'Well we've thought that maybe we could do it in June, haven't we Draco?' Narcissa seemed very happy with this, Hermione knew why, they would be keeping in tradition with the Malfoy wedding thing.
'Oh that's wonderful, have you thought of a specific date yet, what about the fourteenth, that's a good date, middle of the month gives us about 2 and a half months to get a wedding planned and prepared.' Hermione looked at Draco who smiled at her.
'Well that sounds okay, yeah sure we can do the fourteenth.' Narcissa's smile grew even wider, if that was even possible. Hermione actually quite liked her, she was witty and funny and seemed rather independent. She clearly loved her husband and son, and not to mention the fact that she was very beautiful, very. No wonder so many people hated her, Narcissa Malfoy was very much perfection, and it seemed that Lucius Malfoy was enamored with her. Hermione decided to add the cherry on the cake.
'Um Narcissa, Lucius me and Draco have been talking about it and we were wondering if we could have the wedding here. I mean we understand if you don't want us to but -' It seemed that Narcissa couldn't hold in her excitement, she squealed and clapped her hands.
'Oh Hermione that would be wonderful and why would me mind, I mean Draco is the rightful heir, this will all be his one day, and yours too.' Hermione blushed at this, she knew that Draco was downright filthy rich but she never contemplated that all this would one day be hers too. This intimidated her slightly.
Overall dinner went well, a lot better than what Hermione had anticipated. Soon they were getting ready to leave, Hermione had gotten on well with her in-laws-to-be all night. Hermione had asked Narcissa to help her with wedding preparations, which she had agreed to. Draco was going to drop Hermione off via the floo, and they were standing by the grand fireplace.
'Come by whenever you feel like it dear, and we'll meet on Saturday with your mother and bridesmaids to get started with the wedding preparations. And Draco honey, do tell me when you're going to start moving in.'
'Yes do drop by whenever you wish too Hermione. See you later, son.' Lucius added.
After saying their good-byes, Hermione and Draco stepped into the floo and when Hermione opened her eyes she saw that they were at her apartment, they both stepped through. Draco walked down to her sofa and sat down.
'So Hermione, are you okay with everything we've discussed today. I know that my mother can be a little over bearing, if you really don't want to get married -' Draco was cut off when Hermione sat down next to him and planted her lips onto his.
His lips really were soft, and his kisses were passionate; they were so much better than any other kiss she had ever had.
Their kiss lasted for as long as it could before they had to break away for air. They sat there smiling at each other. This time Draco kissed her, and he nipped at her lip to get entrance into her mouth. Hermione pushed his jacket off his shoulders and before she knew it Hermione was lying down on her sofa underneath Draco.
His body on top of her's was comforting, and relaxing, Draco moved his hand up her legs and stroked her thigh, he then moved and stroked her panties which were made of lace. He looked at her to ask permission, and she nodded. He kissed her neck and she moaned, she groaned when he playfully bit her ear lobe. He moved her panties to the side and slide in a finger and she moaned, it sounded so seductive, Draco could feel himself harden. And when his fingers met resistance he looked up.
'Hermione are you a virgin?' She nodded and blushed trying to look somewhere else, Draco groaned.
'Don't be ashamed, do you know how hot that is. 'Mione you're fucking sexy, please don't be ashamed of yourself. I won't sleep with you tonight, not till we're ready but do want me to pleasure you?' he said with a smirk.
Oh god, Hermione was so embarrassed, how could he be so romantic yet so Draco at the same time? She nodded. He pushed his finger back in her and stroked her clit. And all the time she moaned, and groaned under him. He pushed his finger in and out and soon she was trembling, he could tell she was close, and he doubled his efforts, and then she came undone, breathing hard and whispering Draco as if her life depended on it.
Draco had never been anymore turned on, but he couldn't exactly sport a hard on, he needed to think of something which would make him less 'aroused'. Sprout getting it on with Flich, yep that seemed to do it.
Hermione was spent, and exhausted, today had taken it's toll on her. When she opened her eyes she didn't even realise that she was lying on Draco's bare chest. When had me moved her, so that she was on top, and when had his shirt come off, but she was too tired to care, so she put her head down on his chest, and the moment her head landed on his defined chest she fell asleep.
Well i tried to make it as long as i could, worked on it all day, so i hope you guys enjoyed it. I like to make the Malfoys good. i've read loads where they hate Hermione, but i don't get that, i mean they love their son so all they would want is for him to be happy. if you don't get me then well i can't do much about that, but i like it when Lucius and Narcissa understand their mistakes.
Please review and tell me what you think, you know that reviews make my day :D
