Ohhh I like your guess but I'm sad to say that the suprise chareter dosn't come in till the thirteenth chapter which I will put up tomorrow or tonight.

A commenter brouth this to my attention so I just wanted to make it clear. In the last chapter Lucius was NOT holding Teddy. He had his arm's around Narcissa and Narcissa was holding Teddy. The later when Lucius said "I will see you three at home" he means after he is realeased. This will become more clear in chapter tweleve.

Just thougth I should say. Any way hope yo like this chapter, if you have any moree guess I wold love to hear them!

Chapter Eleven: Talking

It was nine PM and Narcissa, Hermione, and Draco just arrived at Malfoy Manor in front of the white gates. Hermione experienced a slight flash back to when she had been here last. That wasn't something she wanted to remember.

At Narcissa's touch the gates flew open and the three made there way up the lane to the house. Hermione saw three peacocks sleeping by the front door and what she could of swore was a snake.

"You don't need a key to unlock the doors or gates. It will know that you are a Malfoy and will automatically open at your touch. If you have visitors you will be contacted and if you allow, the gates will open for your guests." Narcissa explained to Hermione.

"How will I be contacted?" Hermione asked examining the mostly baron yard.

"You will see, I'm sure you will know shortly." Narcissa said smiling. By then they had reached the front door so Hermione didn't press the question. As Narcissa had said there was no key hole and at her touch the door opened.

Hermione was about to follow Narcissa and Draco when Narcissa held out her arm to stop her.

"Draco, close the door." Narcissa nodded the door down the hall. Draco looked curiously at his mother then seemed to understand something and did as told.

Hermione had another flash back.

"Who are you?" It was the voice of Narcissa Malfoy.

"You know me! Fenrir Greyback! We've caught Harry Potter!" the rasping voice of Greyback came from somewhere from the left of Hermione.

"I know 'e's swollen ma'am but it's 'im! If you look a bit closer you'll see 'is scar. And this 'ere, see the girl? The Mudblood who's been traveling around with 'im ma'am. There's no doubt it's 'im, and weve got 'is wand as well! 'Ere, ma'am…"

"Hermione, honey are you felling all right?" Narcissa's voice from the present entered Hermione's head and she opened her eyes, removing herself from the flash back.

"Oh, oh yes…sorry…flashback." She muttered.

"Yes dear, I was afraid of that. For the next few days you should stay out of the drawing room, it'll bring more flash backs." Narcissa said quietly closing the front door.

Hermione nodded, she now had a throbbing headache.
"Come, I'll show you your room." Narcissa said kindly. They walked down the hallway as she passed under the staircase she saw steps leading down to were she believed to be were they had taken Dean, Harry, Ron, and the goblin when Bellatrix had been integrating her with the Cruciouts Curse.

They walked down the hall and turned to go up the stair case.

"Your room is on the fourth floor, Draco can take you on a tour in the morning. Molly will be by in a bit with Teddy. His room is on the sixth floor next to mine. We will move his stuff to the fourth floor tomorrow." Narcissa talked as they reached the fourth floor. They walked down the hall and turned to the right to go down another hall were there was double doors on the wall to the right. On the left the banister that you could look over to see the hallway below on the main floor.

Narcissa opened the bedroom doors and Hermione nearly gasped. It was four times bigger then the Gryffindor Common room. The color scheme was dark blue, the paint, curtains and bed.

Bed. There was, of course, just one. Right.

"I already packed your stuff away Hermione, I'll see you two in the morning." Narcissa closed the door and the two newly weds stood there felling the awkwardness filled the room.

"Better get ready for bed I supposes. My mom makes breakfast at eight. Growing up as a pureblood she was raised to get up at the crack of dawn. Thankfully she never made me do that." Draco said walking further into the room.

"Yes, I guess we should, It's nearly 10:30 now." Hermione walked over to the dresser and pulled out her night clothes.

"I'll change in here, you can use the bathroom." Draco said from by the bed.

"Alright, back in a second." Hermione walked to one of the two doors leading off the room. One going to the bathroom and the other their walk in closet.

After putting on her night clothes she picked up her blue dress and walked back into the room.

Draco was already done and he was sitting at the foot of the bed. Hermione, not knowing what else to do sat next to him.

"How was Pansy?" he asked after a little bit.

"She's not too bad. The party took her mind of him." Hermione said thinking back to her at the party. She had seemed happier. "Bastard" Hermione muttered as she thought of Ron and all the things he had said.

"Potter looked murderous." Draco said understanding Hermione's mutter.
"I'm sure I did to."

Draco laughed, "yes, you, Ginny, and Potter looked close to killing him. Even Lovegood was generally surprised, maybe even slightly angry."

"I don't know what I'm going to do, or Harry and Ginny. What are we suppose to do?" Hermione wondered out loud.

"After awhile he'll apologize but I don't think Pansy will accept." Draco said and he put his arm around her shoulder not knowing what to do.

"I don't even know if I will accept." Hermione sighed and leaned onto him.

It was odd. Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger sitting on a bed leaning against each other without much awkwardness. What was happing. But no it wasn't Hermione Granger, it was Hermione Malfoy now.

"What made you agree?" Hermione asked suddenly.

Draco knew she would ask, he just didn't know when.

"She only said it to me, my father and aunt would have been outraged if she had told them but, Andromeda had always been my mother's favorite sister. My Auntie Bella had always been crazy. Then she fell madly in love with the Dark Lord. She only married to make my grandparents happy. She never really loved Rodolfus; she only ever loved the Dark Lord. It was creepy. They way she draped herself over him, every time she saw him it was like he was the highlight of her day. Anyway my mother woke me one night and asked me to come downstairs. When I went down Andromeda and Teddy were there and they told me of her disease and the problem of who would raise Teddy. When they asked me if I would agree to marry you, Ginny, or Lovegood I thought back to all those times that my mom had told me stories of Andromeda and her as kids. She has always regretted cutting off contact with her just because she married Ted Tonks. I saw the hope in my mothers eye's so I agreed." Draco finished.

"That's sweet of you…to do it for your mother." Hermione said after a moment of silence.

"My mother is the only one who ever really loved me. My father saw me as a person to carry on the Malfoy line, he never showed me affection. I love my mother more then anything in the world and she gave a lot for me, this is my gift back to her."

"That's horrible. About your father I mean." Hermione said taking her head off Draco's shoulder.

"I got over it. It's his fault. That my mother and I got mixed up with the Dark Lord, I never forgave him for…" his voice trailed off. Hermione wondered what Lucius had done but she knew better then to ask, at least right now.

"Now that I think about it we haven't fought once." Draco said after a moments silence.

"Nope, everyone else was fast to point that one out you know." Hermione said with a small laugh.

"Why haven't we fought?" Draco asked turning to her.

Hermione thought for a minute. "Perhaps because the war has changed us and because of our…er…unique situation. The war changed a lot of things and maybe we just fought like little kids back then but now we've fought in a war, lost people close to us, have had death linger over our heads constantly, have seen death and even delivered it. Now all those squabbles seem…pointless." Hermione said thinking.

"Never thought of it that way…but it does make sense." Draco nodded

"We should try to keep that way, for Teddy's sake at least." Hermione said.
"We'll have to be with each other for the rest of our lives so for mine, yours, my parents, and Teddy's sake at that." Draco agreed.

Hermione then remembered what would eventually have to happen between them. Like it or not they would have to have children, but she hoped Draco nor anyone else for that matter wanted it to happen soon.
"My father asked…me a question early today, before the wedding." Draco said nervously glancing at her.

"Oh, what was that?" Hermione asked.

"He wants to know…when um…were going to have kids." He said the last bit in a rush that Hermione could just make it out. She went a bright pink as did Draco.

"Erm…what did you tell him?" Hermione asked trying not to let her voice shake.

"I said that in time…it would happen…but not to expect…it to happen…soon." He was going pinker by the minute and Hermione found this slightly funny.

"That's what I would have said to" Hermione agreed. They sat in silence surrounded by awkwardness but with the air as if just settling on something. That something more then likely was that nothing was going to happen tonight and both were pretty relieved by that.

"We should go to bed." Hermione said standing up not being able to stand the silence any longer.

"Yeah, we should." He stood up to and walked to the side of the bed.

They laid down, both as close to there edge as possible without falling off.
"Goodnight, Hermione."
"Night, Draco"
