Thank you everyone for the awesome reviews! sorry its been so long, in between going to school full time, working 45-50 hours a week and in the process of moving, my stories have been put on hold but I'm back for now, hope you enjoy!

As always, anything you recognize belongs to JKR!


Hermione glanced at the women who would be her future mother-in-law. She was beautiful with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes and she knew now where Draco got his great looks.

"Ms. Granger, I know its probably been a tiring day for you. Draco will show you to your room if you'd like to rest for a bit before dinner." Narcissa asked.

"Please, call me Hermione, and that would be lovely. Thank you for having me in your beautiful home." Hermione smiled as the women.

"Of course Hermione, you are always welcome here. And please call me Narcissa. Draco, I had Ana make sure the room across the hall from yours is set up." She told her son. "I must be going, I wont return until dinner so please be sure Hermione doesn't need anything."

"And where will you be going mother?" Draco asked, standing up and offer his hand to Hermione. She grasped it tightly, pulling herself off the couch.

"To visit your father of course." Narcissa smiled at the pair, standing up as well.

"Oh, of course. Well be safe, give him my regards." Draco responded, quickly pulling Hermione out of the room.

He lead her down multiple halls. As they were walking down one particular hall, Hermione noticed multiple portraits lined the walls. The people in the portraits glared at her as they walked passed, turning up their noses at the pair.

"Draco?"

"Yes Hermione?" He asked back.

"Are these..?" Hermione stopped at this point, noticing a particular portrait of a women who was smiling at the pair.

"Yes, these are my ancestors. Don't mind them, mother silenced all of them with a strong silencing charm. They wont be speaking for years. Hopefully by that time the sticking charms wear off." He answered her silent question.

"Oh,ok." Hermione responded, still looking at the women portrait.

"That is my grandmother." Draco smiled at the picture.

"She's very beautiful. I'm surprised that she isn't sneering at us like everyone else" Hermione said.

"She was very understanding, or so I hear. Mother said that when she came forth about being a Veela and that Father was her mate, that Grandfather was furious. He refused to take part in any of it, but Grandmother, she support them. Father apparently was infatuated with Mother before she even knew of her Veela heritage. Mother says that Grandmother helped them marry at the ministry, without Grandfathers support. I don't know if you know, but in pure-blood society it considered frowned upon if the grooms father is not there to give his blessing at the ceremony. It was a big scandal when it happened. As you know the Malfoy name is big in the wizarding world, and for Father, Mother and Grandmother to go behind Grandfathers back, well lets just say Father almost was burned off the family tree. Luckily, or unluckily for Grandfather I suppose he passed away. Some kind of muggle disease, cancan or something."

"Cancer" Hermione said." I never knew that about your family, thank you for telling me." Hermione smiled at the lady before following Draco, walking further down the hall. Draco stopped suddenly, and turned around facing her.

"May I kiss you Hermione. In front of all my ancestors. I want them to know that you are mine. You are NOT a mudblood but my mate, my future wife and my love." Draco said, leaning his head down so their noses almost touched.

Hermione took in a deep breath and watched his steely grey eyes. "Yes" She all but whispered before his lips were pressed against hers.

She allowed Draco to push her back slightly, letting her back hit the wall. The kiss turned heated quickly, Draco licked Hermiones bottom lip, silently asking for her to open her mouth. She answered his request and let his tongue explore her mouth. Hermione moaned and ran her hands through his hair, tugging slightly causing a moan to ripple through his body.

Hermione felt the warmth on her stomach, Draco's hands rubbing cautiously from her stomach to her hips. He ran then up and down her sides, lightly running them over her ribs causing a shiver to go throughout her body.

Draco buried his face into her neck, breathing in her sweet scent and tasting the skin. A purr escaped his lips, causing Hermione to giggle.

He looked up at her with a goofy grin before grabbing her hand and continuing to pull her down the hallway.

"Will you rest in my room?" Draco asked as he stopped at a large dark wooden door.

"With you?" Hermione bit her lip. Yeah, they had slept next to each other but she was slightly worried he might want to go further and she wasn't sure if she was ready for that next step.

Draco sensed her hesitation, "I promise not to do anything, I just want to hold you. Please, let me hold you Hermione." He pouted, pushing his lip out.

Hermione smiled at his face, giggling a little.

"I suppose as long as you don't try anything." She smiled at his grin.


Hermione awoke to Draco slowly planting little kisses down her neck. She rolled and turned into his chest, digging her face in. He laughed before shaking her shoulders.

"Hermione, time to wake up. Dinner will be soon." He said.

"hmmmm," Hermione moaned into his chest.

He laughed again, "What was that?"

"I said, I'm comfortable!" She said, sitting up.

Draco layed on the bed, on his back with his arms folded behind his head.

"I'd say you can lay back down, but I'd rather not face the wrath of my mother alone." He grinned.

Hermione laughed before getting off the bed, Draco following her. He silently wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head upon her shoulder.

"Thank you for doing this Hermione. I really appreciate it." He smiled into her hair.

"I know, just know you own me now!" She said back, walking towards the door. "Now lets go face your mother again."


Dinner was somewhat silent. Narcissa asked how both their classes were going, what Hermione wanted to do with her future. She asked about Hermiones past, what it was like growing up as a muggle and such. Finally after dessert was served and they were once again seated in Narcissas private sitting area.

"Now, I would like to talk wedding things. I know muggle customs somewhat, having been to a few muggle weddings. I started a little book with a ton of ideas, I would like you two to look over together. I think that planning it together would help you become closer. Now I was thinking that if we buckle down then we can get the wedding done and planed by next week. I know its rather late but I will have to get security measures taken for your father Draco, and I also-" Narcissa was cut off by Draco.

"Mother, Hermione and I have decided to wait a few months." He said, grasping Hermiones hand in his own two.

"But" Narcissa looked back and forth between the two, " I don't understand, the bonding needs to be done soon. Draco, you know the potential of waiting to long. If you wait, your Veela may become angry and force you to take action."

"We know the consequences Mother. It's just- there has been to much bad blood. We were become friends before we found out that Hermione is my mate, and we would like to wait a few months." Draco stated firmly.

"I suppose." Narcissa said, a frown etched upon her face.

"Narcissa, we would still like your help planning the wedding." Hermione smiled at the women.

"Of course, I would love to! You two just let me know when the wedding shall be and we can start from there." She smiled at the couple.

"Well, if its ok with you Draco, I always wanted a wedding in December. I want snow on the ground and the colors to be a dark grey and white." Hermione said, turning to get her Veelas opinion.

Draco smiled at her, "that would be perfect, How about the 19th of December, that way we can go on a honeymoon and not miss any school?"

Hermiones face lite up at the prospect of not missing school but still being about to have an actual wedding and honeymoon.

"Then its all settled, December 19th!" Narcissa clapped, smiling at the happy couple.
