DRACO'S POV

"Holy shit Hermione, we should have had sex before." She had climbed under the covers and wrapped herself in the silk sheets, she giggled and rolled onto her side looking up at me. I pulled the covers out from underneath me, pulling them up to my Adonis belt and rolling over to face her. She leaned up on her elbow slightly and moved towards me, she dropped her elbow as she closed the gap between us. I placed my arm underneath the side of my head and looked into her deep brown eyes and smiled, "I love you Hermione."

"I love you too Draco." She smiled at me and rolled over reaching out to the bedside table, she picked up my wand and then hers and rolled back over. She placed mine behind my ear with a giggle and flicked hers at the door. "What's the time?" I sat up and turned towards the bedside table, picking up my watch.

"Fucking hell, it's only 9:30. What do you wanna do for the rest of the day?"

"Well it's your house what do you recommend?"

"Ugh I suppose I could give you a tour or we could go to the library." Her eyes widened as I said the word library, "Thought you might like that idea." I smiled at her as I grabbed my jeans off my bedside table where she'd placed them earlier.

The three of us sat at the long dining table in silence. My mother was sat opposite us, she refused to sit at my father's seat at the end of the table and would not let anyone else sit there. For a few moments we sat without moving until my mother let out a small sigh, "Where are those house elves? They're late per usual I wonder why we have them sometimes when they can't do anything right." I looked open eyed at my mother and then sideways at Hermione who stared at the table clutching the side of the seat in a struggle not to scream her opinion of my mother's comment. I looked back up and lightly shook my head at my mother as an indication for her to stop talking; once the food arrived the silence continued until we'd all finished.

As I took my last mouthful there was a loud bang that travelled through the house and I had one good guess about who'd cause it. We all stood cautiously and headed towards the room which the noise had come from, Hermione hung back a bit with her wand out. I placed my hand on the door knob and twisted it slightly and gently pushed it to revel a figure stood in a dark room. "Hello father." I flicked my wand to light up the room and placed it back into my pocket as I walked into the room.

"Son! What a surprise." He walked towards me arms open wide.

"I'm sure mother must have told you that me and my girlfriend were coming to visit," I stepped sideways slightly so that he understood that I was not in any mood to hug him. "I did tell her last week after all." I spoke bitterly to him as a nodded my head towards my mother who'd also stepped into the room and Hermione who'd stayed just outside the door way although she was hidden behind my mother slightly so that he couldn't see her.

"Ah yes she might have mentioned it at some point. Hello dear." He walked forwards and kissed my mother on the check and then stepped back towards me. "So where is this lovely girl you've been telling your mother all about?" I knew that by him hissing the word lovely he was implying that not being a pureblood doesn't make her worthy.

"She's just outside the door. Hermione come say a proper hello to my father."

HERMIONE'S POV

For god's sake Draco way did you have to drag me into it like that! I walked towards Draco who was holding his hand out for me, I gazed at his mother out of the corner of my eye who had plastered her fake smile onto her face again, exactly like the one she'd had when she first saw me today. I placed my hand in Draco's and looked down at the floor while everyone stood in silence.

"You didn't mention that your girlfriend was Miss Granger." His father's tone was sharp, I shuffled on the spot slightly waiting for something to happen that would make this situation less awful. But Draco spoke again; and I now understood that he was doing this to piss his father off.

"Well actual there is something else I need to tell you both." Shut up Draco! Shut up! I swear if I could slap him right now I would.

"Oh really? And what would that be?"

"Oh this isn't the place for our news, let's go sit in the drawing room it's much more suitable. We could all have a drink while we celebrate."

This was not fun.

I never thought that I'd ever want to be away from Draco more than I did right now, I wanted to sink right into the floor and never return to Malfoy Manor. I was sat on a rather uncomfortable small black leather settee, which was not big enough for two but Draco insisted that we should sit together. His mother and father were sat opposite us on high backed leather chairs watching out every move, Narcissa had insisted on everyone having a glass of elf-made wine while Draco gave his 'big' (I would say heart attack worthy for his parents) announcement.

"Well Draco, what was this 'big' announcement that you wanted to make?" I lifted my head so that I was no longer staring at the floor and looked at his mother and father whom were staring intently at him. I turned my head to look at Draco who smiled at me widely and placed his hand just above my knee. I brought my glass up to my lips and pressed them to the glass, quickly tilting most of the liquid into my mouth and down my throat still staring at Draco intensely.

"Well mother, father me and Hermione are promised! How great is that!" Lucius had made the mistake of taking a sip of his drink right before his son had spoken because he'd spat it across the room in shock. The room fell silence, everyone's eyes darting around the room not sure what to focus on.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly... I thought you'd just said you were promised to Miss Granger hear." Draco's father let out a short but sour chuckle and then focus on his son, Draco had turned red with fury as he started at his father.

"That's exactly what I said." Draco's eyes narrowed as he continued to look at his father. I looked across to Narcissa who had the same scared yet unsure expression on her face as myself, she looked at me and shook her head as a signal not to get involved in what was about to happen. "Have you got a problem with that father?" His voice was bitter, I got the impression that Draco had built up the situation to cause trouble with his father. I knew they didn't really get on anymore but he never liked to talk about his father, his mother yes but not his father.

"Of-course I've got a problem with it!" His father shot out of his seat. Draco also shot up into the air both walking towards each other, both fists clenched. "Her and her little friends are the reason I ended up in Azkaban! The dark lord is dead because of her and her friends! Not to mention that marrying scum like her would ruin our pure blood, because as you've clearly forgotten Draco- SHE IS A MUDBLOOD!"
