I do not own any of the HP character JKR does. I do not have a Beta but I do have spell check, please be patient and kind with the misspellings I do try and pick them up but an odd few might slip through.
Hermione POV
"Your finally here" Ginny wrapped her arms around my neck
"Hey Gin, still need to breathe" Ginny chuckled and let go of me
Ginny linked her arm in mine and we walked from the room.
"Where are my Grandparents?" I asked
"Your Grandmother is arguing with the florist and your Grandfather is in his study" I nodded and took her to my Grandfathers study.
I knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hello Grandfather" I greeted him.
"Hello Hermione" Grandfather looked up and gave me a soft smile
"I was wondering if I could look over the wedding contract yourself and Lord Malfoy signed"
Grandfather frowned and put his own piece of parchment on the table
"Now Hermione you can't go changing what we have signed, it took myself and Lucius along time to come to agreement with the guidelines"
I shook my head smiling
"No Grandfather I was merely interested that's all"
Grandfather looked sceptical but handed the piece of parchment over.
I thanked him and walked out of his office with Ginny and took her to my room. Once we was inside I put a silencing charm on the door and read out the rules.
1) Draco cannot physically or emotionally hurt Hermione
2) Hermione will accompany Draco to any balls or events he sees fit.
3) Hermione can continue her education after Hogwarts and go on to be a Medi-witch
4) Draco and Hermione must produce and heir within Two years
5) Hermione will stand by the Malfoy's and Draco in anything they decide that concerns the Family
6) Hermione has all access to the Malfoy bank and will gracefully accept any gift given to her by her new family.
7) Hermione must behave like any Malfoy wife would in the public eye and events that may contain press
8) Hermione has the protection of the Malfoy and Black Families
"Wow, Hermione Draco's right that isn't half bad" I smiled
"I know, I wasn't quite expecting it to be so … casual, but I guess with my Grandfather he cannot argue. Grandfather is stubborn and won't back down when he is so passionate about something." I rolled the parchment back up and placed it on my bedside table.
"Come me and your Grandmother have practically spent the whole day transforming a spa for you downstairs" I smiled excitedly, Ginny put a blind fold over my eyes before we went into the room.
"You can't peek"
Ginny opened the door and took the blindfold off, she was right I thought I had walked into a spa treatment centre. A few of the girls Ginny had invited were already having the feet and nails done. I asked Ginny not to invite anyone I didn't like or didn't wish to have there, and she had but one.
"What's Miss Parkinson doing here?" I asked leaning back into Ginny still smiling
"Miss Parkinson is going to be my new sister-in-law, so suck it up"
I smirked and moved to the white comfy chair next to Pansy to get my feet done.
"I know you don't exactly want me here, which is ok but I am glad you're marrying Draco, it means I don't exactly half to" I turned to her and smirked slightly
"Well I am glad that you're not marrying him because I think I want to"
Pansy placed her hand on mine
"That's the spirit" and she passed me a glass of champagne.
I sat in bliss as the other girls around me gossiped about whom it was they were to marry and I was content in my own little world thinking of how I had rather like being at the Manor. I still couldn't stand that certain room, but if I could cope being in the Manor itself then that might be progress.
"Are you not enjoying your party?" I opened an eyebrow and saw Grandmother sat next to me.
"The exact opposite actually Grandmother. I am relaxing in my own little bubble"
Grandmother smiled slightly and brought me the strawberry's over. I took one and dipped it into my champagne glass to much of the amusement to the girls.
Once the pampering was complete and I felt fully revised we put sleeping bags in my bedroom staying up till 10.00pm telling scary stories. Grandmother came in a little after that asking or rather demanding we go to sleep. We all said goodnight and switched the lights out.
"Cissy she stole out of my vault, kill her, kill her now!"
Narcissa walked towards me with a crazed look on her face, Draco whom was in front of me disappeared into thin air and Bellatrix stepped out from the portrait and took her place beside Narcissa and raised their wands at me.
I woke up screaming. The girls on the floor abruptly jumped up wands at the ready. Ginny sighed and sat on the bed next to me as the other girls groaned and laid back down. I pulled my legs up close to my chest.
"Are you ok?" I shook my head
"Is there anything I can get you?" I nodded my head
"Is it Draco you want?" I nodded my head
Ginny sent a call out to Blaise and within five minutes Draco and Blaise apparated to my bedroom. Draco walked over to the bed and put his wand on the bedside table.
"Bad dream?" I nodded my head
"Need me to stay a little while?"
I smiled "No need, continue with your partying"
Draco smirked "We came home around 9.30, are you sure you don't need me to stay?"
I looked at my watch and it read 11.30
"Can you stay till just before midnight?" Draco nodded and kissed my forehead.
As Draco took his cloak off and walked around the other side of the bed to join me Ginny was sat on Blaise's knee rather close.
"Hey guys, if you're going to make little Zabini's please don't make them on my chair" Blaise waggled his eyebrows suggestively and Ginny stuck her tongue out.
I looked to the floor.
"Hey Gin, it's a good job we weren't being attacked, these lightweights went straight back to sleep" Ginny laughed and laid her head on Blaise's chest
Draco pulled me close to him and wrapped his arm around my waist. I snuggled down into him and fell back asleep.
When I woke up in the morning Draco wasn't lying next to me but in his place was a single red rose and a note;
Dearest Hermione,
I didn't want to leave your side, here is a red rose so you know how much I am missing you when you wake up, I will see you at the altar at 11.00am
Yours Draco L Malfoy
I smiled and held the red rose to my chest.
Ginny opened the door and brought me my morning cappuccino and a bagel.
"Are you falling for your betrothed Miss Bradbury?" Ginny asked smirking
"No" I smiled and smelled the rose,
"Where are the other girls?" I asked
"Getting ready" I frowned
"What time are we on?"
"9.30" I jumped out of bed grabbing my breakfast with me.
I put my hair in hot hair curlers and walked around the Manor with Ginny catching up ... a lot, apparently I had missed a few juicy bits between herself and Blaise, we swapped our stories on how the boys proposed to us, both preferring the others proposal.
"Lady Malfoy is in the foyer, is here to see Miss Hermione" I turned around and smiled
"Thank you Bubbles" I took Ginny and ran downstairs
"Narcissa what a lovely surprise" I smiled slowing down on the stairs
Narcissa smirked at my appearance. I was wearing a pink strappy top and cow print pyjama bottoms.
"Draco has asked I gave this to you, it's a wedding present"
Narcissa passed me the box. I opened it up carefully and inside was the most beautiful black pearl necklace"
"Wow … its Beautiful, I shall were it today" I smiled up at Narcissa
"Now, what can I help you with?" I smiled a bit more
"All the girls are rather demanding the beauticians time, can you help take this rollers out I always burn my fingers"
Narcissa smiled and we showed her up to my bedroom. Once the curlers were out Narcissa set on doing my makeup and then helped me into my dress. Ginny put my new necklace around my neck and placed her chin on my shoulder as we looked at the young woman in the floor length mirror.
"Time check?" I asked anyone, the room was full with excited girls getting ready, not paying attention to the bride
"10.50 Hermione" I smiled in appreciation to Narcissa
"Right girls, you all look perfect so let's go" Grandmother demanded
I can't remember getting to Malfoy Manor. All my bridesmaids rushed in front and down the aisle. I stood nervously waiting for the one person I was begging to turn up. The rugged man came in clean, shaved and presentable
"Sirius" I flung my arms around his neck
"Hermione, you look stunning" I smiled and he held my arm as we walked to the Ceremony in the back garden.
After the war Sirius got his life sorted out and got everything in order. I think it was nearly losing Harry that scared him into a reality check. Sirius became like a father to all the young members of the order and protected us. I know it is your father who is meant to take you down the aisle, but Sirius felt like more than my Father, I guess it is hard to explain not really having the Fatherly figure around. Yes Mr Granger was my dad but, something was odd maybe it was because I was adopted that I didn't feel as close to the Grangers as I should have.
I held onto Sirius's arm tighter as we descended down the aisle. Draco turned around to look at me. His piercing grey eyes softened as soon as he spotted me. Blood rushed to my cheeks, how handsome did he look? No wonder half the female guests were gawping at him and not me.
Sirius took my hand and placed it carefully in Draco's and stood to the side next to Harry. I walked forward to the ministry official.
"You may sit down, ladies and Gentlemen we gather here today to witness the loving bond of Hermione Jane Bradbury to Draco Lucius Malfoy, does anyone here know of any reason these two should not be lawfully wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."
I tightened Draco's hand slightly and held my breathe, I let it go when the ministry official started again.
"If you can both face each other please"
"Hermione is going to read her vows out"
The ministry official handed me a piece of card.
"I, Hermione Jane Bradbury, choose you Draco Lucius Malfoy to be my husband, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life."
I turned to Ginny I gave her my flowers ad she passed me his wedding ring, I slipped it on his finger and smiled, I managed at the last minute to find a titanium wedding band with a Green Dragon running around it. Draco looked up astounded and smiled.
"The same for you Draco if you please"
"I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, choose you Hermione Jane Bradbury to be my wife, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life."
Draco turned to Blaise who passed him a ring to slip on my finger.
It was a simple gold silver band, but it was adorable, I loved it.
The ministry official set a few charms to the rings and said the 6 words I have been waiting for all day.
"You may now kiss the bride"
Draco leaned into me and very gently but passionately placed his lips to my own. We pulled apart as everyone started to clap
"It gives me great pleasure to announce to you Mr and Mrs Draco Malfoy"
Draco wrapped his arm around my waist and led me into the house keeping me very close to his side.
