Epilogue- Summer Lovin'
"Hey Harmony!"
Harmony turned around. "Well it's about time Mr. Malfoy!" she smiled.
She was sitting under the huge oak tree by the lake, spread out on a blanket.
He threw his book bag on the ground and plopped down next to her. "How'd you're exams go?" she asked.
"Oh you know." He said.
"Not really. I didn't exactly take the test with you to know how you preformed." She smirked.
He leaned against her. "Haha, you're hilarious." he said. "How'd yours go?"
"I think alright. I think the only trouble I had was Arithmancy." She said, leaning back on the blanket, watching all the students who had finished their exams as well and were lounging around the lake and happy to be outside.
"Good, how long until we find out our scores?" he asked.
"I think somewhere between two to three weeks." She said.
"I have to wait that long for my results?" he said.
"It won't kill you to wait two weeks if you already know you did well." She replied, turning on her side to face him.
"What are you doing for the summer holiday?" he asked, propping himself on one elbow to look at her.
"Well, I think my parents wanted to take us to America for a couple weeks." She said.
"America? What the heck will you do in America for a couple of weeks?" He asked.
"My mum has a couple relatives who moved to Mississippi a couple years ago and they invited us to see them before the school year starts and then we'll be back at the end of July. How about you?"
"Well, you know me and my family will probably travel all over the world and I'll be bored out of my mind and you, you'll be in America, flirting with some teenaged American boy." He replied.
"Oh yes, since I love those American boys." She replied.
He laughed. "I'm serious. They think they're all that when really their stuck-up snotty people."
"This coming from the king of the spoiled stuck-up people everywhere?" she replied.
"I'm just loved. A lot more than most people." He replied, sticking up his nose.
"Ok, oh loved one." She smirked.
"Hey, it's the truth!" he replied.
"So, honestly what are you going to do this summer holiday?" she asked.
"Sulk?" he teased.
"Oh dear." She replied.
"Um, find some Gryffindor who lives close to me and tease him until he cries." He replied.
"Couldn't you hang out with Blaise or something? Go do some 'bonding' stuff?" she teased.
"Probably." He replied. "Just promise me you won't flirt with any America guys."
She leaned over and kissed him. "I promise I won't."
The train pulled into King's Cross Station. Harmony and Draco both got up. Draco grabbed his things while Harmony got her other stuff together. They stepped onto the platform where Draco saw his parents and Harmony saw hers. "Do you want to meet my parents?" she asked him.
"Yeah, I might as well since you're going to be missing me all summer." He said.
"Ok. Whatever you said." She replied, taking his hand as Draco's parents watched on.
They walked up to her parents. "Mum, Dad. This is Draco Malfoy." She said, squeezing his hand.
Both of Harmony's parents greeted Draco and hugged their daughter. "Where are your
parents, Draco?" Harmony's dad asked.
He pointed to his parents standing a couple a few feet away. "They're over there." He replied, motioning over. His father looked absolutely appalled.
"Mum, Dad, this is Harmony." Draco said. The looks on his parents' faces were unreadable, until they broke into what Draco would call smiles.
Narcissa took Harmony's hand. "Well, we get to finally meet a girl Draco has fallen for." She turned towards her husband. "Come here, Lucius."
Lucius stepped forward and took Harmony's hand and kissed it, inside Harmony was repulsed, but she was smiling on the outside. "A pleasure." He said, dropping her hand.
"Of course." She responded bitterly.
His parents stepped away again. "Well, they seem like nice people." Her dad added.
"Sure, Dad." Harmony said. She turned to Draco. "Maybe you could come visit me after you get back from traveling the world." She said, smiling despite what had happened a few seconds ago.
"Or vice versa." Draco added. He tried not to dwell on his parents' behavior towards Harmony. But he didn't know which was worse, if they were being sincere or if they hated Harmony and their behavior was a façade like so much of their public life.
"We'll see, Draco." Harmony's mum Helen said, clearly a little taken back on who her daughter had chosen.
He wasn't exactly a nice boy next door, Helen thought. Who knows what could happen when they get older and she falls more for him.
"Are you ready, Helen?" her husband asked.
"What? Oh yes." Helen said. "Harmony, time to say goodbye." She said, turning to look for Hermione who had disappeared again, Where is that girl?
"Right." She turned to Draco. "Well, just send me a letter whenever you want to visit or you want me to visit."
He laughed. "Of course." Hesitating a little before, he pulled her into a kiss he knew would make her parents blush. Harmony in turn, he could feel blush and then pulled away.
"Bye Draco." She said, and turned to walk to their car with Hermione in tow.
He knew that he would see her that summer, no matter what both of their parents thought.
