Draco had several business junctures all over the world; as a result he had to manage all of them simultaneously, such that his schedule became hectic over the time. And at times it became impossible to conduct all the meetings at his office. So hermione decided to build a room in their house so he can manage them from home.
So draco decided to design the room in such a way that the room should be connected to the manor but should not be actually in the manor so they can have their family's privacy, so this room was built connected to the manor, but was hidden from the outsiders, which only opened on passwords. so at entrance of the manor the three doors indicated three locations of the manor. The first door led to the main living area of the manor which was accessed the entire house, while second door led directly Draco and Hermione's living quarters. While third door led to their inbuilt office.
Cherry, led them to the third door.
Cherry, pressed several buttons present on door, and then the door opened.
Now they were all standing in the circular room, there were several sofas arranged in a circular fashion, the colour theme of the room was light on light colour, which gave the room very soothing effect. The furniture present was minimum which gave the room a spacious feel.
Harry and Ron were gaping at their surrounding so they failed to notice hermione, standing at the corner of the room. Hermione was shocked to see harry and Ron in her house she was told that the meeting was with minister, so she was confused why harry and Ron were present.
"Hello! Hermione" Kingsley greeted her. Drawing her attention, at this harry and Ron turned to see hermione.
She was dressed casually in light blue denims and a peach colour top; her hairs were styled in simple pony tail. She had put light makeup, and accessorized her look with dangling pearl earrings, in which she looked elegant but beautiful.
Ron was momentarily shocked to see her in front of him.
"Hello" hermione said rather stiffly. "I was not accepting to see them here minster "she added, folding her arms she hasn't forgiven them on their behaviour at the party.
"Sorry hermione, of what happened at the party but harry and Ron are deeply sorry for their behaviour" Kingsley said looking at harry and Ron.
"Yes hermione we regret what has happened please forgive us." harry quickly added. Whereas Ron just nodded in approval, but hermione choose to ignore them completely
"That doesn't answer my question" hermione said looking at the minster totally ignoring Harry's apology.
"We were under the impression that you need to talk of something important to us, so we arranged this meeting, so it is this all about?" hermione asked directly jumping on the topic
"Yes. We came to talk about something important with you two, but harry and Ron said they were sorry for their behaviour and asked if they could come along with us to apologise to you, so they joined us" he said.
"So, what's the matter? Draco is running a little late I hope he will join us soon so we can continue" hermione said worried when Draco will return.
"That's fine we can wait" minister said.
"Would you have Tea? Coffee?" Hermione asked looking at all of them
"Coffee please" Kingsley said after asking his fellow members
"Sure" hermione said with a smile.
"Trinkle?" hermione summoned her house-elf
"Yes missy!" a jovial looking house-elf came In front of them
"Can you please bring five cups of coffee with some cookies for us" hermione asked her kindly.
"Sure missy!" the elf nodded enthusiastically before going with a pop
"Draco there you are! "Hermione exclaimed as she saw Draco at the door, relief spreading across her face as she went forward to hug her husband.
"Hey honey!" Draco greeted giving her a quick kiss.
What are they doing here? He asked as he glared at harry and Ron
"Kingsley bought them to apologise, just ignore them, I am doing the same from half an hour I don't want to ruin my evening talking to them."
He nodded. "Let's get over with it" he said pulling hermione towards the centre.
"Sorry everyone! But I had really important meeting to attend so my apologies" Draco said entering the room
"That's fine we just came over" Kingsley shaking his hand.
After greeting everyone Draco settled himself beside his wife.
By that time Trinkle served the guests drinks and refreshments, after everything was settled Draco started the conversation.
"So minster what do you wanted to talk about?" Draco asked
"You already know the ministry is bit old and do not have new magical process which makes it quite unequipped" Kingsley said to which Draco nodded.
"So we were thinking to ask you to rebuilt the ministry." He said
Draco and hermione shared a look before Draco formed the answer.
"Well minster I appreciate your offer but I only design for my businesses. I have never done this kind of projects before, I think you should ask someone else, who is by profession in this business." Draco said sincerely.
"I too agree with draco we do not consider working for other projects. We only design for our projects." Hermione said agreeing with her husband.
"Yes, but we would like to have the best for London, so please reconsider our proposal." Kingsley said.
The next half an hour passed discussing the project. Draco mostly took part in the conversation whereas hermione was patiently listening them, also Ron and harry stayed out of was minutely observing hermione and noticed the change she had undergone. He observed she no longer looked desperate as she was in the school, trying to prove that she is the best or desperate to receive approval and acceptance. She was looking content in Draco's arms her eyes were glistening with joy, and there was peaceful look on her face.
After a long discussion they agreed to do the project, and decided to have the main meeting after a week, after looking the current scenario of the ministry.
After everything was finalised Harry thought now is the perfect time to strike the conversation with hermione, but after looking the way she was ignoring him he thought he should try and apologise to her when she will be alone, now in the presence of Ron things would get further damaged.
And after observing the pair at the party he already noted that how Draco was protective of her and things would go out of hands which would not be in the ministry's benefit.
So harry decided to wait for his chance to apologise.
