Chapter 6: The Honeymoon, Part 1
Hermione woke up the next day with Draco's arms wrapped protectively around her. She gazed around the room and saw that the room was entirely done in black and gold. Then she spotted her wedding dress and the night before flooded back to her. She smiled then eased out of bed, noticing the soreness of her legs. She tiptoed over to one of her suitcases and opened it. She pulled out one of the chemises in there. She also pulled out a robe and the book about Diamanta. She retrieved her wand from the bed table and went into the bathroom. It was decorated purely in gold and white. The tub was huge! She went over to it and turned on a tap. The smell of oranges filled the room. When she had filled the tub enough, she stepped in. She sat on one of mini-steps and grabbed her book.
Diamanta
Diamanta Chaffe was a beautiful young woman of 17 when she met Armand Timotheus. Her father was a wealthy noble while Armand's father was from Greece and a merchant who sold silks. She had beautiful blonde hair and lively green eyes. Armand on the other hand was tanned skinned to her pale complexion. He had black hair and kind blue eyes.
She met him while he was hanging around his father's shop and she came by to order a new dress. They instantly liked one another and started to secretly meet. Diamanta's father then began to ask her of marriage. She told him each time that she was not interested. Then one night when she came back from meeting Armand and them sharing their first kiss, there were several people waiting for her. Her father had invited a Lord and his son over. Her father was hoping that she would accept the Lord's son as her husband. She firmly said no and fled to her room. Over the next months, she carefully avoided her father, finally she suggested to Armand that they elope. He agreed and the next day, she went out to the market and didn't return. Instead she met Armand and they traveled to Orleans. There, they were married and began their life. At home in Marseille, her parents were frantically searching for her...
Hermione didn't finished because she heard someone say,
"Alhomora!" She slunk down into the water, so that only her head was visible. Draco quickly came into the room. He smiled.
"I wondered if you had drowned," he said. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Ah, I see that you've been reading Diamanta," he said.
"Yes," Hermione replied as she reached for a towel. She grabbed it and pulled it closer and then unfolded it. She began to stand up and Draco watched, amused.
"What?" she asked as she wrapped the towel around her.
"You're just acting so modest. I've seen you naked before," he said.
Hermione looked down at the floor, a blush gracing her cheeks. Draco chuckled then walked over to her, pulling her into a kiss. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist. She grinned evilly and grabbed his butt. Draco jumped, shocked then pulled back. Hermione smiled at him mischievously and he raised his eyebrow at her. He heard her stomach rumble and he laughed. She shot him a dirty look then put on her chemise and robe. She grabbed her wand and did a lengthening charm. Now her chemise looked like a nightgown. Satisfied, she picked up her book and left the bathroom. Draco smirked then quickly took a shower. When he went into the bedroom, he saw Hermione waiting on the loveseat that was once occupied by her wedding dress.
He pulled on a pair of green silk boxers and grabbed her hand. They walked to the stairs where he again swept her into his arms. She yelled at him all the way down however. They didn't notice that some of the house elves were watching them, so pleased that Draco wasn't turning out like his father. He set her down once they reached the bottom.
"Gosh, you didn't seem to mind me carrying you last night!" he said. Hermione blushed again. He smiled then kissed her nose.
"Come on," he said as he grabbed her arm and dragged her into the breakfast room where there were fresh croissants and jam and orange juice! (I love OJ! Give me!) They both sat down and began to eat like animals. When they had finished, Dia came in and took everything away. Hermione sighed then made her way up to the bedroom and grabbed her book about Diamanta. Then she went to find Draco. She found him in the library, reading a book. She sat across from him and opened her book to where she left off.
Diamanta's parents were frantic. They thought that she was dead. It grieved them. She was their only daughter. A few months passed and Diamanta found out that she was pregnant. She was very happy and they went to a gypsy to see what the gender would be. That was when she was told that she was having twins, a boy and a girl... She went into labor and gave birth. Soon after Arabella was born, she fell asleep. But unfortunatly for them, a merchant that lived in Marseilles, came into town at the time of the birth.
Orleans was celebrating because she had given birth and lived. She was very loved by the people of Orleans. He asked what the celebrating was of and a shop girl told him that Diamanta and her husband Armand Timotheus had just had twins, a boy and girl. Their names are Henri and Arabella! He quickly left for Marseilles to tell Diamanta's parents of this. The next day the merchant arrived in Marseilles and made his way to the Chaffe's home. The maid that answered refused to let him in until he said that it was about Diamanta. He was taken to her parents. He told them everything he had heard. When he finished, Diamanta's father was angry.
"Ze could ave made a good marriage but enstead ze married a merchant's son!" her father yelled.
"Now, Raoul, please. We ave grandzhildren!" his wife said.
"Jacquelaine, ow can zat make me feel any better!" he roared. Jacquelaine rolled her eyes.
"I vill make sure zat ze marries Lord Jean's zon!" he said again.
"Ooh you vill zo non sush zing!" Jacquelaine yelled, standing up to face her husband.
"Vhy ever not?" he asked.
"Because, ze is probably very appy!" Jacquelaine countered. Raoul glared then consented outwardly.
While his wife was at the market the next day, he contacted some of his best friends. They agreed to go to Orleans, kill Armand and the twins and bring back Diamanta. When they found where Diamanta's home, their plan went astray. Diamanta had been wearing some of Armand's old clothes since she had none. She had to get new one's made. She was bent over Henri's crib when they came in. They tiptoed behind her and one of them took out a sword. He swung it once and it took off Diamanta's head. The man bent down to retrieve it. When he turned it over, he yelled. The smiling face of Diamanta stared up at him. He dropped the head and the men fled. Armand came back from work an hour later. He cried over the dead body of his wife, the love of his life. He gathered up her body and took it to the cathedral. He told the priest everything and then the priest buried her in a mahogany coffin. Then Armand went back to his house and gathered up his children. He rode to the coast and took a boat over to England. No one would harm him there...
Chapter 2
Henri brushed his black hair off his face. He glanced up at the sky and noticed that it was around noon.
"Henri!" a girl yelled. He turned and saw his sister running towards him, her blonde hair coming out of it's bun and her petticoats swinging.
"Henri, lunch is ready," she said as she stopped in front of her brother. He surveyed her. She had wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. She had pale skin that was flawless and she was very ladylike. No wonder his friends thought that she was a beauty.
"I'm coming Arabella," he said very annoyed. She smiled and began to walk towards the house. He followed not soon after. They lived in a nice home. His father had become quite well off by selling tea to the colonies...
Hermione glanced up as the clock struck 7:00. She jumped. Draco laughed and kissed her. He then led her back to their bedroom. They both fell asleep instantly. Hermione dreaming about living in the 1700's with Draco and Draco dreaming about Hermione in a very small teddie...
