Hermione hurried down the stairs when she heard the flu flare to life. "THEO!" Hermione laughed as she flung herself at her fiancée. She didn't notice her parants and the Notts standing of to the side until she heard her mothers reprimanding voice. "Enough of that Hermione!" Narcissa snapped. The young witch flinched ever so slightly and quickly let go of Theodore. Mrs Nott watch sadly. "Surely it is alright to give each other a hug. They haven't seen each other for about a month." Mrs Nott continued. "Children why don't you go and chat while we adults have a catch-up."
"Of course mother. Lord Malfoy, may we venture out side. It is a lovely day." Theo asked politely. "Of course." Lucius smiled ever so slightly. "Thank you. Shall we go Mya?" Hermione smiled and the two children walked away.

"So Mya, care to explain why you haven't answered any of mine nor Draco's s letters?" Theo inquired.
"I never actually got any until yesterday. My parents had been keeping them for some reason. They never told me why but i have them now so it doesn't matter. Tell me about your holiday. What is Spain like? How hot was it? What was the food like? Did you do anything special?" Theo laughed at Hermiones 'Eager to know' face and told her everything.
The two children sat under an old oak tree until their parants called them in for lunch. They then sat in the library for the rest of the afternoon until Theo was called to leave.
"Thank you for visiting. I hope we see you soon." Lucius smirked while he stood with his family next to the flu. "Yes. Till next time." Mr Nott said nodding his head. Once the Notts had left Narcissa turned to Hermione. "You embarrassed me. How dare you.You were raised a lady. START ACTING LIKE ONE." She shrieked. Hermione looked down at the floor, refusing to look at her mother. "Go to your room." Her father said. Hermione looked up at her father to see disappointment writen on his face. She no longer cared what her mother thought. All she wanted was for her father to be proud of her. Hermione nodded then slowly walked up the grand staircase and into her room. She sat down on her bed and pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her face in her hands. About two hours later someone knocked on her door. "Hermione? May i come in?" Lucius asked.
"Yes father." She said as she moved to sit by the window. The witch heard her door shut, signifying her fathers presence. "Your mother was right Hermione. You embarrassed us infront of our friends and your future family. You are a lady and a lady does not behave like a chimpanzee, jumping and clinging to people." Hermione lowered her head in shame. "Sorry i disappointed you father." She said. "You didn't disappoint me as much as your mother did. She lashed out not only infront of guests but she raised her voice inside and at you."
"I will act better in the future father." Hermione said. "See to it that you do. Goodnight."
"Goodnight father." Lucius nodded and left her alone. Hermione looked out of her window one last time before preparing for bed.

It was the beginning of the Christmas holidays and Hermione was heading to platform nine and three quarters to pick up Draco. Hermione was dressed in a dress similar to her mother. Her dress was long and silver that trailed slightly behind her and stuck out at the back the same way as a victorian dress. Her platnium her was tied in a half up bun and eyes were magically outlined making the silvery-blue eyes stand out.
As they walked onto the platform Lucius turned to his daughter the a warning sneer. "DON'T embarrass us girl. You may gently hug your brother but any excitement will be punished. Am i understood?"
"Yes father." She said. Her father nodded and began walking again. Hermione stayed a few paces back from her parents and observed them. Her mother seemed so elegant and her father was the same. They both walked with a purpose and never faltered.
"Draco! Welcome home dear." She heard her mother say. She must have zoned out. "How are you son?" Lucius said as he clapped Dracos shoulder. "Welcome home Dray. It's nice to see you again." Hermione said as she gently hugged him. Draco squeezed her back tightly. "It's nice to see you to sis." He said. Hermione looked up at her father to see if she had done well and smiled slighly when he nodded his head.
"Right! Shall we head home?" Narcissa asked as she smiled down at her son. Hermione kind of wished that her father would smile at her like that. A smile filled with love and pride that only a parant can give. Alas she knew she wouod never receive such a gift. As they walked out of the station she heard a family of red heads speaking about them. She spared them a glance only to see a sneer planted on a boys, around Dracos age, face. 'How pathetic." She thought. 'They can't even sneer right.' To show them how it's done she sent them one of her best sneers. When she turned around she was faced with her fathers smirk. "They, my dear, are the weasleys." He said. "I believe the boy who was trying to sneer is in Dracos year. Am i right?"
"Yes father. The Twins as well. All in Gryffindore and Harry Potter is best friends with all of them." Draco sneered.
"Blood traitors! They'd take in a mudblood and probably adopt elfs if given the opportunity." Her mother spat.
"They should be locked away in Askaban." Hermione said. Her father chuckled. "Yes Hermione, they should be. Now the elfs have dinner on so let us leave. Tomorrow will be going to Diagon Ally for Christmas shopping. Now hurry along." Draco held onto hermiones hand and they shared a small smile.
