Chapter 2: Getting there
Hermione stood next to Draco at the front door as they awaited a carriage to pick them up and bring them to Hogsmead station so they could catch another train to the manor.
"I'm glad you are coming with me!" Draco said as he grabbed her hand and gave it a little squeeze.
"Me too." Hermione said as she noticed a carriage approaching the castle.
When it stopped in front of them, Draco opened the door and held out his hand to Hermione, "Our future awaits, Malady." he said as she took his hand and climbed into the carriage.
The whole ride to Hogsmead was spent in silence. Draco held Hermione close as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"My mother will be waiting for us once the train stops." Draco informed her as the train drove into the countryside.
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Draco?" Hermione asked feeling suddenly nervous.
"Do you not want to go?" Draco asked sounding hurt.
"Its not that I don't want to go, cuz I do... Its just that I'm nervous, is all." Hermione admitted.
"I will be at your side the entire time. If at anytime you fell uncomfortable for any reason, just let me know and we will head back to Hogwarts, no questions asked." Draco said, hoping to calm her. Draco understood why Hermione might be apprehensive about coming home with him considering his families well known history of hating muggle-born witches and wizards, but things were different now. He had tried, with all his power, to show her that he had changed and was no longer the same Draco he had been when they had first met at the beginning of their first year at Hogwarts.
Draco looked over at Hermione. She was biting her lower lip, which as of lately, she did quite frequently.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Hermione forced a smile and replied, " Nothing"
Draco could see through her false act. He knew something was bothering her, and it had been for quite some time. He just wished that she trusted him enough to tell him what is was.
"Hermione, I love you so much. I just wish you trusted me enough to tell me what is it that is bothering you."
Hermione looked into his gray-blue eyes only to see worry and concern, " I do trust you, Draco, but there isn't anything bothering me. If there was, you'd be the first to know, honest."
"Alright." Draco said. He still didn't believe her, but wasn't going to push the fact. He wanted to enjoy his time away from Hogwarts with her, and her wanted her to enjoy their time as well.
"I have some place special that I want to take you to while we're here." he said, trying to get her mind off of whatever was bothering her.
"Oh really, and where might this be?" Hermione asked, breaking her gaze from the scenic country side to look up at him.
"You'll just have to wait and see." Draco kissed her forehead as the train began to slow.
Draco stood and pulled Hermione to her feet once the train came to a complete stop. After grabbing their luggage they had brought with them into the compartment, they headed out into the aisle to get off the train.
Hermione noticed Draco's mother the instant she stepped off the train. She was a tall, slim woman with the same platinum blonde hair that Draco had and was dressed in an elegant rode of deep green. She was quite attractive now that she wasn't wearing a look that suggested there was a nasty smell under her nose, as she had been when Hermione had first seen her at the Quidditch World Cup. She was actually smiling and waving very excitedly at them.
Draco slipped his arm around Hermione's waist and waved back, as they began walking towards her. Draco released his hold on Hermione as Narcissa wrapped her arms around her son and continuously kissed him on his cheek, leaving pink lip prints from her lipstick.
"Hey Mum, How are you?" Draco asked as her embraced his mum.
"Wonderful, now that you are home." she said as she gave him another kiss on his cheek. "And you must be Hermione Granger. I have heard so many wonderful things about you." Narcissa said as she turned to Hermione "She's quite a catch." she said as she nudged her son.
"MUM!!!!" Draco exclaimed turning a bit red from embarrassment.
"Its nice to meet you Mrs. Malfoy." Hermione said, pretending not to her Narcissa's comment, and extending her hand out to her.
"you can call me Narcissa, dear." she said ignoring Hermione's out stretched hand and hugging her. Now that Hermione could see her up close, she noted that Narcissa was actually quite pretty and she smelled like roses. Smiling, Hermione broke the embrace.
"We'll be right back. We need to go get the rest of our things from the under the train." Draco said as her grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her away towards the train. "I'm sorry about that." Draco said once they were out of ear shot.
"About what? I think your mother is really nice." Hermione laughed as she pulled a tissue from her bag and handed it to Draco.
"What's this for?" Draco asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"You have pink lip prints all over your face." Hermione giggled.
"Uggggh..." Draco said as he took the tissue and began rubbing his face vigorously. "Is it off?" he asked.
"No, here, let me help you." Hermione took the tissue and wiped the rest of the lipstick off his cheek. "There. Handsome as ever!" Hermione giggled. For some reason, she was just in a giggly mood.
Draco, noting her change in mood, gathered their luggage, then headed back to find his mum. They found her standing against the wall lined with about 30 fireplaces.
"Give me some of your luggage, dear." Narcissa said taking a bag in each hand from Hermione. That left Draco to carry five, Hermione to carry two, and Narcissa with the two that were left.
"Draco, dear, you go through first so you can help Hermione out once she's on the other side." Narcissa said.
"Yes Mum." Draco said as he fumbled with the luggage so that he could take some off the contents from the small draw string bag that his mother held out in her hand. He stepped into the fire, dropped the powder in his hand and said "Malfoy Manor" the green flames shot up around him, then he was gone.
Hermione placed both of her bags in one hand and took a pinch of Floo Powder from Narcissa.
"All you need to do is drop the powder and say 'Malfoy Manor', ok dear?"
Hermione nodded and stepped into the fireplace. The flames tickled her ankles as she dropped the dust and clearly spoke "Malfoy Manor". Hermione thought she was going to be sick. She was spinning and tumbling, and didn't know which way was up. All of a sudden her feet hit solid ground and she was knocked off balance and started to fall forwards, towards a black marble floor. Two strong arms came out of nowhere and caught her mid fall.
Hermione looked up into Draco smiling face, "Thank you"
"Don't mention it." he said as her cradled her. Hermione caressed his cheek as she lent up and pressed her lips to his.
Another 'pop' can moments later from the fireplace and Draco and Hermione quickly broke their kiss.
"Welcome, my dear, to Malfoy Manor" Narcissa said as she brushed the dust off her clothes.
