A/N: Thanks for reviewing, please keep them coming. Like I have told you in other chapters I'm not updating faster since the person that proofread is in college and she has other things to do.
Disclaimer: My name is Julie not JK Rowling. So I don't own anything, I just borrowed the characters. I'm sure JK Rowling is not going to get mad for that.
"Hermione you stay here, I'm going to get you something to eat," Draco said taking her to a couch on the living room.
"Okay, hurry," she said half smiling. She didn't want to stay there all alone. She had no idea who those people were and she didn't want people staring at her. She looked to a corner and saw Narcissa talking with a friend. She didn't know why but the woman looked familiar.
Narcissa gestured to her friend and both got to Hermione.
"Hermione this is Samantha," Narcissa said. "Samantha this is Hermione."
"Hello," Hermione said courtly.
Samantha didn't say anything she simply stood looking at Hermione from head to toe. When the lady did that Hermione remembered who she looked like. The woman was an older version of Sara.
Back in the kitchen Draco found his friend Jason. Jason was chatting with Blaise about Quidditch.
"Hey Draco," Blaise said smiling.
"Hey man. Have you seen Winky?" Winky was one of the house elves.
"No…maybe she's in the other area of the kitchen, cooking or something," Blaise said looking around.
"Yeah, well I need to find her. Hermione is hungry," Draco said conversantly.
"Draco, where did you leave Hermine?" Blaise asked worried.
"I let her in the living room." Draco saw Blaise face and asked, "Why do you look worried?"
"I saw Sara in the living room. She arrived like 10 minutes ago."
"Oh shit," Draco said. He was running to the kitchen door when someone opened the door and hit him with it. He felt to the floor moaning and holding his head.
"Oh my God, Draco! Are you ok?" He heard Hermione's nervous screech.
"I think so," he said. Hermione tried to help him get up but he was a little heavy for her.
Draco got up holding his head and looked at Hermione. She asked confused, "What were you doing on the floor?"
Blaise started laughing very hard at this point. Draco looked at him serious and said sarcastically, "Hermione I was searching for bugs."
"Really?" Hermione asked more confused.
"Of course not. I was going to get you and you opened the door in hit me with it," he said annoyed.
"Oh poor baby," Hermione said walking to him and massaged his head. Blaise keep laughing with Jason now.
"Okay Hermione. Please," Draco said blushing. Hermione giggled.
"Why were you coming to get me?" she asked smiling.
"Sara is in the house," Draco said without hesitation.
"Oh," Hermione said turning her smile into a nervous glance.
"I think we should leave," Draco said serious.
"Hmm…yeah I think so too," Hermione said. She didn't fear Sara, but she was not in the mood to have a fight with her or to even be hypocrite. She new Sara was well known in the party and she didn't want people saying that she was the bad person.
Draco grabbed her hand and said, "We catch something to eat before we get to my place."
"Okay," Hermione simply said. She had no idea why they were going to his place but decided not to ask. She waved goodbye to Blaise and Jason.
"Blaise, I'll call you. Jason, it was nice to see you again," Draco said courtly.
They walked fast to the living room to say goodbye to Narcissa.
"Well mother. I have to go. Hermione's not feeling well," Draco lied. Draco didn't like doing that but they were in a hurry.
"Oh…Hermione do you need something?" Narcissa asked concerned.
Hermione was a little touched by her concern and felt bad to lie but she knew it was for the best. "No thank you, I'm ok, I'm just feeling nauseous," she said politely.
"Oh very well then. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? I don't know, mother. Hermione wanted to visit her parent's house," said Draco.
"Well before you do that, you come here. It's Christmas and I wanted to give you your presents," Narcissa said smiling at her son.
"Sure mother. We will come," Draco said hugging his mother.
"Well goodbye Narcissa. It was nice to meet you," Hermione said moving closer to her. Narcissa kissed her cheek.
They turned around to leave when the almost crashed with the devil itself, Sara.
"Well, well, well what do we have here? Mr. Malfoy and his whore," she said raising one eyebrow.
"Draco, ignore her," Hermione said putting her hands in Draco's chest.
Draco did what Hermione told him and kept walking. They got outside the house where there was no one. Sara followed them.
"Draco, we need to talk," Sara said stamping her foot to the floor with her hands in her hips.
"There's nothing to talk about Sara," Draco said helping Hermione inside the car.
"Oh really. Draco you broke up with me, ME, a pureblood, a beautiful woman, you left me for her," Sara said pointing at Hermione with her index finger.
Hermione was inside of the car trying really hard to ignore her. But Sara was getting to her. Hermione had felt many times that Draco was too much for her. He had money, he was good looking, he had a lot of class, he knew how to dress and he always dated the most beautiful witches. Sara was no exception to that.
"Sara I don't care one bit if you are a pureblood or not. Hermione may be a muggle born but she has way more class than you. Oh yeah, another thing; you may be beautiful but that's only on the outside on the inside you have a rock heart," Draco said getting inside the car.
"Oh so that's it, that's the only thing you can say to defend yourself. Please Draco I thought you had more than that. I mean I thought you have better taste," Sara said throwing a menacing look and walking back the manor.
Draco drove his car for a couple of minutes until he found a McDonalds. He never ate there but he knew a lot of muggles loved that place. Hermione talked a lot about the food from there.
"Come on Hermione. You have to eat," Draco said getting out of the car.
"I'm not hungry any more Draco," Hermione said not looking at him.
"What? Mione you haven't eaten yet. By this time you usually already have dinner and a snack," Draco said walking to her side of the car.
"Draco I'm not hungry," she said again a little angry. "Can you take me home, please?"
He looked at her but she didn't look at him. He knew that she must be upset but decided not to mention anything until getting to his place. He got in the driver side again and drove to his place.
"Draco, can you please take me to my place?" Hermione asked not looking at him.
"Hermione, we need to talk, you're staying in my place tonight," he said in a soft tone.
Hermione didn't say anything. During the months that she has dated Draco she learned a lot of things from him. Starting with the fact that when he wanted something he didn't look back.
They got to the apartment that he bought for Hermione long time ago. Hermione hadn't seen the apartment and she was mesmerized when she entered.
It had a beautiful big kitchen with everything in sterling silver and black marble. The living room was painted white with silver curtains and all the accessories black.
"Oh my God, Draco this is stunning," Hermione said looking everywhere.
Draco didn't say anything he simply stood there smiling broadly. He knew this place was going to make her feel better. He had decorated it just for her with his mom's help.
"I knew you were going to like it," he said grinning.
She smiled at him and walked to the couch in the living room where she sat down. He went and sat down on her side and both stood in silence for a couple of minutes.
"So I guess you're not mad anymore, right?" Draco asked not looking at her.
"I don't think I was mad, Draco. I was upset," Hermione said looking at him.
He looked at her and said, "Why were you upset? Hermione, Sara means nothing to me."
"Draco I know that. It's just that I think…" Hermione looked to the side and didn't say anything. She felt stupid telling him the truth.
"What do you think?"
"Well I think she's actually saying the true about me not been pretty enough for you," Hermione said blushing a little.
"What?" Draco asked surprised. He new Hermione felt inferior to him sometimes and he was trying to work with that and make her realize that she was just what he needed it. But to think that she wasn't pretty was something else. "Hermione what are you talking about, you know I think you're beautiful"
"Draco like I told you before, you had to say that because you're my boyfriend."
"Hermione, I don't have to say that because you are my girl. I mean, Pansy was my girlfriend and I never thought that she was beautiful," Draco said smiling.
"Yeah but she's a pureblood," Hermione said hiding a smile.
"Hermione don't event start. I already told you that I don't care about blood anymore. Hermione, Sara is a bitch and she will do everything in her power to see us fighting. I don't want her getting inside of you, OKAY," Draco said finishing the subject.
"Fine," Hermione said not too convincing but she new it was a lost case with Draco. He will always make her feel good about herself and at least she appreciated that.
"Now, Mione, I know you are hungry. I don't have a lot here but I can go outside to the streets and get you something."
"No, Draco I'm fine really," Hermione said. The truth was she was starving but she didn't want Draco going alone to the street just because she was spoiled and didn't want to eat when she had the chance.
"I'll get you something." Draco went to his kitchen and took some snack bars, cookies and milk. "Here"
"Thanks," Hermione said a little embarrassed.
When Hermione finished they went straight to bed. Hermione loved the master room. It was really dark; she thought that it was all Draco in it. The walls were black with silver. It had a king sizes bed and all the accessories in the room were silver and green. Hermione commented about having green the room but Draco responded with 'I'm a slytherin after all'. She didn't mind the room being to dark since the room had two big windows.
The minute they entered the room Hermione performed a spell to change her clothes into something more comfortable and when to sleep immediately.
Draco got into bed a while after her and found her sleeping. He got close to her ear and whispered, "Good night my girl"
--
It was Christmas Morning. Hermione felt something touching her but didn't know what it was; she opened her eyes and saw Draco close to her bump singing a lullaby. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it. After a couple of seconds since Draco continued singing and she needed to go to the bathroom she started moving a little.
Draco looked at her and slowly she opened her eyes.
"Hey baby. Good morning. Happy Christmas," Draco said smiling.
"Hey, Happy Christmas," Hermione said smiling as well.
"Did you sleep well?" Draco asked.
"Fabulous," Hermione said moving to stand up.
"Well great, it makes me happy knowing that you loved the bed."
"Yes it's really comfortable," Hermione said walking to the bathroom. When she entered the master's bathroom it was just like the room except for the black walls. The bathroom had white walls but the rest of the things were black and silver. She also realized that there were two toothbrushes in there. She trusted Draco so she understood right away that he was preparing the place for her as well.
Hermione came out of the bathroom and Draco was waiting in the door.
"Let me brush my teeth and the give you something," Draco said smiling.
Oh shit no, Hermione thought. She did buy a present for Draco but she had it in her place.
Draco came out of the bathroom and walked to his drawer and got something. He sat in the bed near Hermione where she was sitting.
"Here," he said. "It's not much but I think you're going to like it."
Hermione opened the little box and inside was a beautiful heart charm with a beautiful necklace. It looked like the Heart of the Ocean from Titanic.
"Oh my God, Draco this is beautiful," Hermione whispered almost in tears.
"Thank you," he simply said. He loved seen her happy. "May I?" he asked taking the necklace in his hand.
"Oh yeah," she said, moving giving her back to him so he could put the necklace.
He put it and gave her a quick kiss in the back of her neck. "It look's beautiful," he said still smiling.
"Oh my God, Draco, I don't know what to say! This is so much and what I got you is so insignificant…and it's not even here."
"Hermione don't worry I don't care. I love anything that comes from you…Oh Hermione I didn't tell you. It felt so good waking in the morning close to you," he said giving her another kiss in her neck.
"I think I feel the same way," she said smiling. Yeah she did feel the same way. She never thought she could feel like that but during the months dating Draco something inside her heart had grown for him. Maybe it was love. Draco felt the same way. But even though he was dating her he didn't want to accept it. The thought of loving some woman still frighten him a little.
They went to get ready to go to the Malfoy Manor. Draco gave Hermione a pink dress that he had bought her with a pair of white flip-flops. They got to the house and entered without hesitation. They knew the house was empty except for Narcissa and Lucius.
"Draco honey, you came," Narcissa said surprised the minute she saw them.
"Mother, I told you I was going to come," Draco said hugging his mother.
"Hermione, very nice to see you. Are you feeling better?"
"Err." She forgot that they had lied to Narcissa last night. "I'm feeling better yes, thank you," Hermione said feeling bad for lying, especially when Narcissa was treating her so good.
"Draco." It was Lucius coming down the stairs. "You're mother said that you were coming. I have to be honest; I thought it was no true," Lucius said half smiling.
"Father when I promise her something I keep it." Draco didn't want to sound rude but he couldn't help it either. Draco was not his father. Lucius was one of those that didn't know how to keep his promises. Draco was still a little mad at his father for what he had told him the night before about Hermione ruining their reputation.
Narcissa could feel the tension just like Hermione. "Oh Draco, come here. I have something for you, and for you too Hermione," Narcissa said breaking the awkward moment.
Hermione fallowed her to a little family room where it was full with gifts.
"Draco all does there are yours," she said pointing at a corner full of presents. "You're father said that I shouldn't buy you so many things but I just feel the need," Narcissa said smiling.
Draco walked to all his present like a little kid. He loved Christmas.
Narcissa walked to the gifts and got three of them. "Here Hermione, these are for you."
"Errrr." Hermione was speechless.
"Oh, no need to thank me. I loved buying gifts for you."
"Thanks," Hermione said blushing. This was awkward. Never in her life had she thought she was going to be in the house of her enemies opening Christmas present. But like there's a say you don't know what you're destiny is and you can never say never.
Hermione opened her presents fast. One of them had a matching bracelet for the necklace Draco gave her before.
"I knew Draco bought you a beautiful diamond necklace so I thought I should get you the bracelet."
Hermione looked at her surprises. "Diamond?" Draco knew she wasn't going to keep it if he tells her of what was made of.
Narcissa looked at Draco, and Draco said smiling, "Hermione you can't say no to this gift you already accepted the necklace. It's rude to give it back."
"Oh my God," she said.
"Open the other one," Narcissa said happily.
Hermione opened it and inside was a gorgeous butterfly's baby sheet. "Oh Narcissa this is beautiful." Hermione was more than happy to see this. It was the first gift she had received for the baby.
"I knew you were going to like it."
She continued and opened the third one and it had a little baby bracelet in silver.
"You can put the name in it when you decide for one," Narcissa said smiling broadly.
"Wow. Thank you so much!" Hermione said almost in tears. She hated her mood swings. One day she could be the biggest bitch and another day she become the most sensitive person in the world.
"Glad you like it," Lucius said.
Hermione looked at him surprised but smiled. It was the first time he talked since he entered the family room. Hermione then looked at Draco and saw that he was grinning. He had a hat on, a scarf and some other things that she knew was for Quiditch.
Hermione and Draco spend the rest of the morning in the Malfoy Manor. They talked mostly about decorations for the baby room. Draco ended upset since Hermione wanted to have the room pink and Narcissa agreed with her.
"Well Hermione we better leave if you want to go to your parent's," Draco said.
Oh shit. She had forgotten all about that. She wanted to go but she was scared. "Oh yeah, I forgot. Well let's go. Narcissa thank you for everything," Hermione said walking to her and giving her a quick kiss in her cheek. Narcissa hold her and give a quick hug. Draco loved seen his mother so happy.
"Well mother, I'll see another day," Draco said walking to his mother. "Father I'll see you at work."
"Sure Draco," Lucius said walking to his son and hugging him. Talking about an awkward moment. Draco stood there looking everywhere. He didn't remember the last time his father had hugged him. Narcissa was shocked as well. Hermione stood there looking everywhere. After Draco recover he said to his father, "Happy Christmas"
"Same to you, son."
With that, Draco and Hermione left to visit the Granger's house.
Well, I hope you like it. Please review.
