A/N: Hello, well I know this is probably early of me to upload, but I was in an uploading mood and thought, I'd upload this chapter. :D
I actually don't really have much to say this time.
Although, I wanted to say that I also have another story out. If you're familiar with the game series, "Kingdom Hearts" and you like Kairi and/or Axel to check it out. You can find it on my profile, it is called: "Through The Portal Of Darkness" it is a Axel/Kairi love story. I really ship them. Haha anyway, that story has yet to be reviewed, so I just thought if you were familiar with the game series that you ought to check it out and review it, if you want.
That is all. Now, here's the next chapter. Enjoy. :D


Chapter 26: Decisions

Hermione's POV:

I couldn't believe today was the day. My dad guided me down the aisle. A familiar song played as we made our way down towards the end. I looked up at him and he looked down at me smiling. I smiled back and turned my head to see all of my friends, my mum and even a few of the professors from Hogwarts attending, as well. They were all seated on the left side of me. I then directed my head towards the arch at the end. The minister dressed up like a normal pastor on this wonderful day. And then, I see him. His eyes lit up and smiled. Smiling back and looking at his wardrobe. He wore a simple black tuxedo, but looking dashing nonetheless. We finally reached the end of the aisle. My father gave me one last reassuring smile and went to sit down next to my mother. I quickly glanced over at the right side, Draco's side. There were few people. Recognizable people were of the Slytherin house. Blaise and Pansy were the two I noticed out of the few. I gave them a smile, they smiled back. And I turned my head back at the man beside me. Blushing like mad. He took my hand and gave me a sweet smile before we turned our heads toward the minister. He gave a simple, but long speech before asking if anyone objected. I fidgeted in my long wedding dress and turned my head to the opposite end of the aisle. A loud boom of the doors opening up. He was furious. Running towards us. Knocking down chairs and he even kicked the long table that had our wedding cake on it. Yet another loud crash as the table fell along with the cake. Harry got up and ran towards him.

"Ron! Calm down!" Harry tried to calm him down.

"NO! HOW DARE YOU?" He punched Harry out of nowhere. "I WILL NOT HAVE HER MARRY THAT BLOODY FERRET!"

I threw my veil down onto the floor and ran at him.

"HERMIONE! NO!" I heard Draco yell. But I ignored it and ran straight at him, tackling him to the ground punching him multiple times. I pulled my wand out of my garter from my leg. And pointed it directly at Ron's face.

"How are YOU bust in here on MY WEDDING DAY? YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT RONALD! AVADA KEDAV-"

I woke up gasping. What a nightmare. Could this be a sign?

"Hermione? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Draco asked giving me a worried look.

"Noth- nothing. Just a nightmare." I smiled at him.

"Want to talk about it?"

I shook my head. "No. What time is it?" I asked trying to change the subject.

He looked up the clock. "10:53am."

"Oh." I rubbed my head. "Well, guess it's alright to get up now."

"Yeah.." I heard him whisper.

"You don't have to get up, yet if you don't want to. I'm going to though." I turned to face him.

He smiled and laid back down. "Okay." He grabbed the covers closer to him.

I leaned in and gave him a kiss on his cheek then got out of bed and headed downstairs to make some coffee.

While the coffee was brewing I went and sat at the table. Thinking about the nightmare.

Was this a sign that Ron was going to try to stop my future wedding? I didn't want to even think about him getting out. I couldn't bare to see his face ever again.

The sound of footsteps on the stairs startled me.

"I decided to get up." Draco said walking into the dining room.

I nodded and smiled at him before getting up to retrieve my coffee cup and filled it up.

"Coffee?" I asked him.

"Sure." He replied.

I grabbed a cup out of the cabinet and sat it on the counter for him and went back to the table sipping at my coffee.

"You sure you don't want to talk about your nightmare? You seem a bit shaken up by it."

I nodded. "I'm sure. It was just a nightmare."

"Okay." And he got up to fix his coffee.

"So when are you going to the manor?" I asked.

He sat down beside me and said "Maybe, around noon."

"Alright. Well, I hope things go okay." I said and gave him a reassuring smile.

He shrugged. "Thanks. I hope so, too. But you know, things with Pureblood families are always difficult. Especially when it comes to marriage and things of that sort."

"I know, but she needs to know that she can't force you to do whatever she wants you to do. You are going to be an adult soon."

"That's true." He glanced up at the clock. "I'm going to go get ready." He gave me a kiss then left the room.

I decided to make quick breakfast. I settled on some eggs on toast. And tried eating it, but I ended up running to the bathroom and throwing it up. I wasn't sure if the nightmare was the cause of me getting sick or what, but whatever it was didn't make me feel any better.

Draco poked his head in the bathroom. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just got sick. Maybe, it was the eggs that were bad."

I took out my toothbrush and toothpaste to brush my teeth.

"Maybe, you should lay back down? If you want I can make you some tea."

I shook my head. "No, I'm fine. Go and head to the manor, I'll be okay."

"Okay." He apparated a few moments later.

I wiped my mouth and headed back downstairs. I went and laid down on the couch and watched some tv.

Draco's POV:

I apparated to the manor. It seems I was just in time, because the Greengrasses had just arrived.

I headed into the dining room to find my mother.

"Ah, Draco. Just in time." She gave me a smile. It was clearly fake.

The sound of the doorbell chiming. My mother got up from her seat. She was awfully dressed up for a lunch.

"Now, I want you to behave." She warned me.

I sighed and nodded. "I will, mother."

She left the room to answer the door.

I could hear their voices as they came inside the house.

"It's so lovely to see you, Diana." My mother said in a charming sweet voice.

"Oh, yes. Always nice to see you, too Narcissa." Mrs. Greengrass replied.

"And Charles, glad you could make it." Mother's cheery voice added.

"Yes, my schedule has been quite full, but I made it in time." Mr. Greengrass said.

"Astoria, dear. You're looking beautiful." My mother raved.

"Thank you, Mrs. Malfoy." Astoria's sweet voice replied.

"Oh, please. Dear, call me Narcissa."

"Forgive me, Narcissa." She corrected herself.

"Well, lunch is to be served in a few moments if you will join me in the dining room."

I stood up from my seat and walked towards the dining room doorway to greet them.

"Draco, my boy!" Mr. Greengrass smiled at me and held out his hand for me to shake.

I shook his hand. "Mr. Greengrass. Nice to see you, again."

"You remember my wife, Diana." He gestured his hand towards his wife.

She smiled sweetly at me. "Draco. Hope you're doing well."

I nodded and replied, "Well indeed. Same for you, I hope."

"Glad to hear it." She turned her head looking at Astoria as she was looking around the house.

"Astoria!" She snapped at her daughter. "Don't be rude."

"Apologies, mother." She said and walked towards us.

"Forgive my daughter, dear. She does this a lot." She shook her head.

"It's fine. I realize the house is a lot to take in." I smiled.

She nodded and gestured Astoria to come closer grabbing her arm.

"You remember my daughter Astoria, don't you?" She asked.

"Yes. Hello, again Astoria." I smiled at her.

She did a curtsey towards me and smiled. "Draco."

"That's a good girl. Such manners." Diana said.

I looked down at Astoria's wardrobe. She wore a sparkly emerald dress, a bit dressed up for just a lunch, like my mother.

"Isn't she lovely?" My mother whispered in my ear.

I knew what my mother was trying to pull, but I couldn't have made a big deal about so I just nodded. In these sort of situations, you don't want to make a scene especially being pureblood or else it would be spread around like a fire. It's bad to look as if you don't have any manners, regardless of the situation. It's true, she did look lovely, but there was no way in hell I was going to marry this girl.

The house elf appeared as we went to sit down at the table.

"Lunch is served, ma'am." She spoke in a soft voice then quickly disappeared.

The table filled up with many different foods.

I sat on the left side of my mother. Astoria obviously being told to sit beside me while her parents sat on the right side of my mother.

"Don't be shy now, eat however much you like." My mother smiled at us. And gave me a glare.

I piled a few things onto my plate and eat as my mother and Astoria's parents had a discussion.

"So, Draco how's school been going for you?" Astoria suddenly asked. Her shyness was really showing, but I could tell she wanted to make conversation for the sake of the awkward silence between us.

"Good. And yours?" I answered.

"Very well. The magic university I go to is very different from Hogwarts. Have things changed since I've graduated?"

I shook my head. "Not really. I mean, we've had a lot of different professors for Defense Against The Dark Arts, but other than that no."

She sat down her fork onto her napkin and leaned in to whisper to me. "You do know why we're here, right?"

I looked over at my mother to see her preoccupied talking to her parents. And turned back to her and replied, "Of course, I do." I smirked.

"Good. So you know that you're going to have to marry me, right?"

I smirked and said, "No offense, but I'm already seeing someone."

She frowned and went back to eating. "Really? Mother didn't say that."

"Maybe, it's because my mother didn't know for sure." I replied.

"Oh, Draco?" Astoria's mother called.

I looked up at her. "Yes, Mrs. Greengrass?"

"Please, call me Diana. Anyway, Narcissa says that you're not seeing someone at the moment."

I gave my mother a quick glare and shook my head. "No, I'm sorry to say that I am currently seeing someone."

The multiple sounds of silverware hit against plates.

"Really? And who is the lucky lady?" She asked.

My mother quickly looked at me.

I cleared my voice before replying, "Hermione Granger."

I heard Astoria and her mother gasp.

My mother chuckled nervously and got up from her seat and grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the dining room.

"What do you think you're doing?" My mother yelled in a hushed voice.

"Telling them the truth! I'm not going to lie for you. I am not going to marry that girl in there!" I shouted back.

"Draco! You are NOT going to marry that mudblood, I will disown you before that EVER happens do you understand me?"

"Then disown me! I don't care, anymore!"

"What would your father say?" She shook her head.

"Father doesn't have anything to say! HE'S DEAD!" I was furious.

She slapped me across the face hard. "Don't you EVER say such a thing like that!"

"Why? It's the truth! Sod this, I'm out of here. I will get my own flat and be out of your life if you're so fucking ashamed of me. I'll send for my things. Goodbye, mother."

That was the last thing I said to my mother before I disapparated.

Hermione's POV:

I must have fell asleep watching tv, but I woke up when I heard Draco apparating into my living room.

"Hey, how did things go?" I asked.

"Brilliant. I told them the truth. My mother took me aside and long story short, I'm going to get my own flat. I can't live with someone who is ashamed of me for dating someone I love that they don't approve of." He rubbed his face and sat down next to me.

"Wait. So, she kicked you out?" I asked.

"Pretty much, disowned me." He shrugged.

"How did they react? The Greengrasses?"

"Didn't have time to find out when my mother pulled me out of the room."

I noticed his cheek began to turn redder by the minute. "Did she slap you?"

"Yeah. Apparently bringing up that father is dead gets you slapped."

I pulled him close to me and kissed his red cheek and sighed. "I'm sorry for all of this."

He looked at me with a questionable look. "What do you mean? It's not your fault."

"Yes, it is. It's because of my dirty blood." I shook my head.

"It's not dirty, Hermione. It's because of my prejudice parents."

I wanted to change the subject. "So you're going to get your own place, then?"

He shrugged. "I'm going to have to."

"Well, at least you won't have to be under somebody elses rules, like your mothers."

"What if you moved in with me?" He suggested.

"Me move in with you?"

"Yeah. Would you?"

Before I could answer him, there was a knock on the door. I jumped up from the couch and went to answer it.


A/N: A bit of a cliffhanger, but you'll find out who it is in the next chapter. Somethings are about to change in Hermione's world. Anyway, tell me what you thought about this chapter. And I will probably update sometime this upcoming week. Thanks for reading! :) ~VampireQueenBrittany
