Chapter Ten-King and Queen

Disclaimer- I still don't own Harry Potter.

A/N-I am so sorry that I couldn't get this to you sooner but my life has been really hectic and I was doing some research on the coronation of Draco and Hermione b/c I want this to be a really good story that doesn't just have things made up but some real fact. Please Read and Review.

Hermione couldn't believe that she was taking everything that has been happening in the past couple days with such grace. Hermione really should have been freaking out!

"Maybe subconsciously I have always liked Malfoy." Hermione thought to herself, as the make-up artist started to put some blush on her cheeks for the coronation ceremony, "Yeah, right, subconsciously liking Malfoy. Now just I'm delusional! I am just maturing! Yes, that is what this is; I am mature enough to accept this like a normal adult!"

Just has the hair stylist was putting the final touch on Hermione's hair there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Hermione called.

Fred came in carrying large dress bag. "Princess," Fred bowed to Hermione. "This is the traditional dress you will be wearing in today's ceremonies." He placed on a clothes rack near the closet on the far end of the wall.

Hermione smiled in the mirror, "Thank you, Fred."

"I'll come by when it's time to begin the ceremony." Fred bowed and left the room.

Immediately after Fred left the dressing room a small blue House Elf appeared and bowed at Hermione. "Princess, Mimmy is here to help put on your dress."

Hermione smiled at the House Elf in rags and got up from the dressing table. "Alright, Mimmy."

Hermione got up walked over to the clothes rack Fred had hung the dress on. She pulled the zipper down on the bag and pulled the dress out. She removed her robe while Mimmy held the dress open so Hermione could step in.

Hermione pulled the dress up over her shoulders and Mimmy started buttoning the dress. When Mimmy was down she went over to the clothes bag and pulled out a long cape out of the bag. She climbed up onto the stool and attached the cape to the shoulders of the dress.

Hermione turned to face a full length mirror. "Oh, my!"

She couldn't believe her eyes. She looked absolutely amazing. The dress was ivory with fine gold details on the bodice and bottom hem of the dress. The gold detail was also on the front of the cape. The inside of the cape was a red silk.

Just then there was another knock on the door and Fred called through the door. "We are ready Princess."

"I'll be right there." Hermione responded and turned to Mimmy. "Thank you, Mimmy for helping me. Anything you need just as and I'll see that you get it."

Mimmy blushed and replied, "Mimmy doesn't need anything princess." With a bow and pop she was gone.

"Oh goodness me, this is it. I'm going to become queen today." Hermione smoothed her hands down the front of her dress and started for the door. "I'm more nervous about this then I was about marrying Dra…Malfoy." Hermione opened the door and found Fred on the other side.

Fred bowed a waved his hand out for Hermione to precede him. "The ceremony will begin with you and Mr. Malfoy…"

"Why do call me princess and Ma…Draco Mr. Malfoy?" Hermione inturupted.

"I...I…don't know. I'll call you Mrs. Malfoy from now on if you'd prefer." Fred replied.

Hermione smiled, "I don't like it but I guess I have to get used to it. Please continue with the ceremony briefing."

"Where was I? Oh, yes, the ceremony will begin with you and Mr. Malfoy at the top of either stair case I the foyer. When the instrumentals begin you both will descend and meet in the middle where you will join hand. From there you will step up onto the platform where you will stand facing the press and attendees. Both of you will sit down in the thrones when the ceremony will begin. To the questioned that is asked answer saying 'Yes, I so promise to do.' After you both reply you stand up, the pries will join your hands, and then he will announce you as King and Queen. You then walk under ten swords held by officers of the royal guard"

Just as Fred was finishing up they reached the end of the hallway. Facing her was Draco in a robe similar looking to her dress.

"Why are you standing here with me and not Draco?" Hermione whispered.

"Mr. Malfoy requested that I look after you today until he finds you your own suitable assistant. It's time, remember what I told you. Good luck Mrs. Malfoy." Fred bowed and turned to go down a hidden set of stairs to watch the ceremony.

Hermione step out of the wing at the same time as Draco. She placed her hand on the railing waiting for the orchestra to begin playing the national anthem. Once they started her and Draco started to climb down the stairs, at the bottom they joined hands and stepped onto the platform turned and faced the press and attendees. They sat down and waited for the priest to begin the coronation.

He took a saber and handed it to Draco. He then handed Hermione a staff. The handles of both matched their attire. The priest took a spot behind Draco.

He took a gold crown, off of a red cushion and held it above Draco's head. "Do you promise to lead this country with honesty, and faith, never to fail the people and to make the best decisions for the country?"

"Yes, I so promise to do." Draco replied.

He then moved behind Hermione and took a smaller version of Draco's crown off the cushion and held it above her head. "Do you promise to lead this country with honesty, and faith, never to fail the people and to make the best decisions for the country?"

"Yes, I so promise to do." Hermione replied.

Hermione and Draco both stood. The priest walked behind them and placed their hands together. "By the power of the church of Quinby, I present to you His Majesty Draco Lucius Malfoy and Her Majesty Hermione Alison Malfoy as King and Queen of Quinby."

Everybody started clapping and singing when the orchestra started the national anthem. Hermione and Draco walked by the Royal Guards and out the double doors to the waiting public who greeted them warmly.

A/N: Wow, done. Sorry it took so long. And I now the ending kind of sucks but I couldn't think of a good way to end it. Hoped you liked it. Read and review please!
