Chapter 5

~Draco~

I am engaged. Do you believe that? I guess not. Who will marry me? A hard, heartless, but dashing, handsome, and really rich young man. Gosh! Am I conceited or not? Well, someone decided to marry me. She is the most beautiful angel I have ever seen. She has wavy blond hair that reaches her shoulders, big eyes that shine with life, and her nose is so cute that whenever I see her, I would want to kiss her on her nose. But, of course, her mouth is even more enticing. It is rose red, like a bud of a flower, and kissing her can take me to the seventh heaven.

Well, as I was saying, I am engaged to her. She is Eva Marion Falcon to be exact. She is a pureblood witch. Not only is her family blood line just as pure as a Malfoy's, her family's history can be even tied to us Malfoys'. But that was thousands of years before. But, blood line is not important any more. As long as I love her and she loves me, nothing is really important. Why? Because that Lucius bastard was killed in the War, and he never dreamed that I would be among those who 'demolished' the last of the Death Eaters. From that day on, I was freed from the hell he entrapped me in. Mother was freed from her own hell built by none other than Lucius himself, and now, she lives with me very happily, enjoying her days.

Eva works in the muggle society, as she found them extremely fascinating. Well, I have no objections to that, THEY are EXTREMELY fascinating. I always wondered HOW in the world they managed to live on without any magic. I don't really hold anything against those poor, defenceless and magic-less muggles, it was family up-bringing that caused me to really hate them. But, this is not important anymore as well.

What I am trying to say here is that I am engaged and getting married in two months' time, and in the near future, will be a father. I hope.

I have a confession to make.

Eva is not the first love of my life; Hermione Granger was my first love. She brought me out from the shadows of the dark, introducing to me the happiness and all the bright things in life. She showed me the possibilities of compassion, and defended me in front of her friends. That is before we all can live in harmony. Potty had tried to set me on fire a few times, and Weasel tried to change me into a ferret again. But, all their efforts are fruitless. Mione was always there to 'rescue' me from her 'ruthless', 'vicious', 'cruel' friends.

I had fallen in love with her during that time. We fought side by side in the War, assisting each other all the time. But, I know that she had someone else in her heart. I vowed to tell her my feelings after the War, and if she accepts me, we will get married; if not, we will be best friends. However, I never got that chance. She went missing after the Last Battle, and we all presumed that she was dead.

I cried then. The first time I ever cried on this Earth. She was all I had at the time, the only friend. Losing her made me lose my courage to carry on. It was a difficult time for me, but I pulled through with the help from Potty and Weasel. Amazing, isn't it? They can be great friends. We had been close since then.

Well, some months passed after the War, and I met Eva on the street of London. We talked and began seeing each other soon after that. She fully brought me out from the grief of losing Mione. I was strong and free again.

Now, nearly five years after our first date, we are finally getting married! Congratulate me People!

~*~*~

I just remembered, I am supposed to meet Eva today. She wants me to meet her roommate, colleague, best friend and maid of honour today. I wonder how she is like, her friend I mean. Eva always describes her as the best friend and a TOTALLY sweet person. I don't know what to expect from Eva's descriptions, she has the weirdest ideas for what is good and bad. But that is the fun part about her as well.

Well, after five years of dating Eva, I am finally able to squeeze out time to meet this extraordinary friend of hers and shame to say this, Eva blamed me for ignoring her best friends when she has met all my friends, namely Potty and Weasel, during her busiest times. Well, I am guilty of that crime, but, you can't blame me. I am the Malfoy's heir after all, and the family business really needs me to be there to hold it up.

Oh, yeah! To add on to this amazing party, Severus Snape, will be going to! He is my best man for this wedding of the year, my friend, my long lost distant uncle and is the only man to whom I can say whatever I need to say. He had helped me to recover from the setback of the War as well. A truly remarkable man!

Now, dressed in my best muggle outfit, I went out to meet this friend...

~*~*~

~Hermione~

I am going to meet Eva fiancé today. FINALLY! The guy has no sense of respect for me AT ALL! I AM Eva's best friend and AM a very important personnel at THEIR wedding!!! He should have met me a long time before now. But, well, meeting now is much better than not meeting forever! So, let's get ready for this and not disappoint my dear friend. Truth be told, I do want to know how he looks like and what kind of person he is. Eva has said that he is the best on this Earth. But, lovers all say that their other half is the best, their words can't be trusted to the full extent. Plus, this is Eva. Her words can't be trusted completely!

One more thing to address here. The best man is going as well! How exciting for me! I'll then know if this best man is as good as he sounds and I need to know if he'll suit my tastes. oh gosh! I am running out of time. Must hurry up!

Dressed in my best outfit, I went out to meet this guy. or rather, guys...
