Chapter 18 - Darn Christmas Part One
"What?" Draco broke the kiss. Blaise came in and whispered to him. Hermione saw Draco's face turn ashen-white. Hermione's heart raced and knew something was not right.
"What is it?" Hermione asked quickly. Blaise stared at her.
Draco said, "Father's here." Hermione gasped.
LATER...
Draco walked swiftly towards Professor Dumbledore's office. Hermione followed Draco and hugged him from the back.
"Draco! I'll come with you!" Hermione said, hugging him tightly.
"No! You can't, Hermione! Just stay here. I promise everything is going to be all right." He replied as he turned around. Hermione looked at him worriedly and soon nodded. They gave each other a last snog and Draco turned to walk.
Draco muttered, "Bumble bees." Draco went and Hermione stopped him.
"Be careful." She whispered. He smiled weakly and went.
"Father." Draco greeted coldly and Lucius Malfoy nodded. Professor Dumbledore was sitting at his usual seat.
"Mr Malfoy, yes. Your father and I have discussed some issues, about you..." Draco glared at his father. Lucius smirked.
"Draco, Draco.. You are seventeen years old... And you are old enough to make your decisions, of course... To continue the Malfoy generation, you need to marry a girl who is the same age as you and is a pureblood... from this school." He drawled.
"No! I can't marry her!-" Draco yelled angrily and shot a cold glance at Professor Dumbledore.
"What?! Draco Malfoy! She is the best choice we have! Your mother and I have chose this girl to marry you and you WILL marry her. That is my final decision. I don't care about your explanation. Just do what you are told. Don't glare at me like that! You should be thinking that you are fortunate man to marry her!" Lucius bellowed.
"Yes, Father." Draco stared at the floor as if he was facinated by it. 'I can't tell this to Hermione, or else she would leave me and be heartbroken! I will kill the girl if Father tells me who she is...'
"Now, we shall discuss about your marriage, Draco. Look up. Good. You WILL marry her on the twenty second of December and the preparations are starting now. As the Headmaster and I discussed, you and she will be allowed to leave school earlier on the twentieth of November to spend a little time with each other before your marriage-" Draco groaned. Lucius stopped and continued talking about the venues and all. 'Why is it so sudden?! So early!' Draco thought and he would not be able to face Hermione after stepping out of this room...
"Draco! I knew it! Your Father would object seeing us together!" Hermione said by looking at Draco's weary expression and under pressure.
"No, it's not like that. It's just about family matters. You know I won't leave you, I promised you, I had never ever in my life, broke a promise, Hermione." Draco lied.
Hermione and Draco embraced. "Draco! What do you think you are doing?" Lucius Malfoy barked. "Fancy hugging a mudblood. How many times must I tell you that mudbloods are filthy-"
"Father, I can explain all that. Let's go." Draco pulled Lucius away and gave Hermione a reassuring smile. The Malfoys' footsteps echoed through the hallway leaving her behind. They were actually smirking...
