Hidden

Draco grumbled to himself for at least an hour on how he couldn't get the stupid cradle down, but eventually he walked out to the living room where Fred was staring at the fire. Draco sat next to him, having a good guess what he was thinking. Before he could say anything, the ginger spoke up.

"It burns now, fire, it provides heat. It didn't used to do that, back when I was still dead." Fred said without looking at him. Draco nodded.

"It doesn't provide heat for me, and I'm alive, sort of." Draco said, he also kept his eyes on the fire, but made sure to glance at the Weasley every few seconds to see if there was any emotion he could pick up on.

"Hermione told me that you're supposed to be dead and that's why you're so cold. Makes sense. Must be weird, but at least summer isn't that bad for you." Fred joked, Draco chuckled and nodded.

"Summer isn't bad at all..." Draco and him sat in silence for a few moments before Draco asked the question that had been itching at his head since the second that he saw the twins. "Does she know? Molly?" Draco asked quietly, he looked at Fred as pain flashed across his face. He nodded.

"She of course was happy I was alive, but..." Fred trailed off and buried his face in his hands. Draco nodded and closed his eyes. He didn't want to imagine her face but it was all he could see. She was such a wonderful person, she didn't deserve that. If only he'd have gotten there sooner, maybe the weasel wouldn't be dead.

After a while of both sitting there, head in hands, they both got up and went their own ways.

"We've gotta go get more food. Hermione! We gotta go to a muggle store!" Pansy yelled from the kitchen. Maya emerged from her room that she shared with Pansy and she looked directly at Draco.

"You, close your eyes and turn around. Hermione's wearing her dress and we cant get it off, you're not allowed to see it." Maya said harshly. Draco leaned back a bit so he could see if he could peek in the room at his fiancée but Maya gave him a stern look and got in the way. Draco raised his hands in defense and turned around, closing his eyes.

"Draco I swear if you turn around, you'll be staying in Solomon's room for the rest of the week." Hermione said. He could hear her footsteps exit Maya's room, she was in heels, then he heard two loud thuds and her footsteps were far quieter, she had kicked off the heels so hard they flew at the wall. Draco snickered to himself.

He could hear Pansy and Maya squeal with excitement and joy. Six feet hopped up and down and three high pitched voices squealed. Draco rolled his closed eyes.

"Hey, your girlfriend looks amazing." He heard Solomon mumble jokingly from beside him. Draco opened his eyes and looked at Solomon harshly and jokingly.

"Watch it Kesh." Draco warned jokingly. Solomon smirked and motioned for Hermione.

"I'm not supposed to look." Draco said, knowing where he was motioning to.

"Dude if you don't look, you'll be missing out." Solomon said. Draco nudged him warningly again but shook his head.

"Not looking." Draco said.

"Alright, we need to get this dress off." Hermione said.

"Good idea." Solomon joked. Draco stomped on his foot to make him turn around.

"I meant in the room." Hermione corrected herself. Maya and Pansy laughed once more and the footsteps retreated to the girls room. Draco turned around when he heard the door click.

"How good did she look in the dress?" Draco asked Solomon quietly.

"This is a test to see what I think of your wife-to-be. And I'm not getting my foot stomped on or my knee kicked." Solomon said as he walked towards his room. "Oh and she looked stunning, you're a very lucky man." Solomon added before he shut the door to his bedroom. Draco would have followed him if he hadn't of heard the door lock.

"Mate, you should have turned around. Maya made that?" George asked from the balcony upstairs that overviewed the downstairs area.

"Yeah, Maya and Pansy have done all the work on that dress, and supposedly, Solomon is doing my suit." Draco said, half afraid of what the Wampus would do about his suit. He couldn't believe Solomon wouldn't let him see it but he'd have to deal with it he supposed. If the thing didn't fit him on the big day, he'd hex the living... no. He wouldn't hex anyone, he knew better than that. He'd just be, really, really mad and would most likely take his wand back and make the bloody thing fit.

"Cool." George responding, clearly his head was in the clouds, Draco was about to make his way to where Hermione put Justin down but George spoke up again. "What do you think Maya would say if I asked her to marry me?"

Draco's eyes widened. He only asked Hermione to marry him so his mother would have the one thing she wanted: A happy son. But he never expected anyone else to follow behind him.

"I don't know, Iv never thought about it. But if we could have a double wedding, that would be pretty cool." Draco said, making George smile a bit and turn around towards his new room. Draco raised his eyebrows in surprise and picked Justin up. That was an unexpected question.
