Chapter 7 – the rest of our lives
They spent the rest of the day in bed, just talking and doing a lot of kissing. Hermione had got to go to the bathroom many times because she wasn't feeling too well, but that was to be expected when expecting.
"What do you think your friends will say?" Draco asked as they made their way into the living room, dressed and defiantly happy
"I don't know, you know I don't see them all that often so maybe I will tell them the next time I see them, which will more than likely be Christmas since I'm going to be so busy and its more personal one to one instead in a letter. Your Parents?"
"They'll never find out, you know about them right?"
"Sort of, I had heard rumors" she mumbled.
"Hermione, you want a real family for our baby don't you?"
"Yeah I do," she said while looking out of the big window
"Well I think I need to ask you something, if you really want to be a real family"
"Go ahead Draco" she turned to see him knelt on the floor at the side of her "…Draco what are you doing?" she asked, not smiling at all
"Marry me?"
"What?"
"Marry me"
"…But…but"
"Will you marry me? if you want to be a real family then will you marry me?"
"Yes" she said and flung her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her
"I'll get you a ring and everything, a real nice wedding" he promised
"I'm not bothered Draco, I've never been one for extravagant things"
"Well in that case I know exactly what to do" he stood and held out his hand for her to take she too stood and looked at him as if she shouldn't take his hand "Trust me, you'll love it" and she took his hand. Moments later they popped out of the room.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"Draco where are we?" Hermione asked as they popped into a darkened room, it looked like a shop but she couldn't be sure since there were no lights on in the shop
"I want you to look at theses dresses" he flicked on the light and the shop lit up, it was a wedding dress shop "Madame Knight is here to help you, don't worry she's a witch"
"I thought you gave up everything to do with your world?" Hermione asked confused
"I did but Madame Knight is a very old friend of my mothers, who looked after me when I was going through a difficult stage in my life when I was still at school, remember when I didn't get the train in seventh year?" Hermione nodded "I lived with her and she lived in Duff town so I walked to school that year"
"I think I remember you at the graduation ceremony"
"Yes, dear I was there, didn't stay long since his real parents where there" Knight said. She was a small fat old woman with premed gray hair and dark green eyes which were covered with large jam-jar bottom glasses, the woman's teeth looked to be in perfect condition. Hermione couldn't help but see a resemblance between her and Mrs. Doubtfire.
"I'll leave you two alone" Draco said and popped out again. Hermione smiled at the old woman as she began to get to work on a dress for Hermione.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"Here, take my hand dear" Knight said. Hermione walked out of the changing room, in the dress that she wanted. It was a small long white dress, no frills, just a simple dress with a little flair at the back that was also the train of the dress. Her hair was twisted into a clip at the back of her head and it was made elegant with a simple tiara at the front of her head. Hermione had glass like high healed shoes on, 'Cinderella, eat your heart out' Hermione said to herself when she saw the shoes. Her makeup was a light natural shade since she hardly ever wore shoes.
Hermione looked at the woman who seemed to be dressed up a little more than she was before. Hermione walked to her and she passed her a small bunch of flowers that went with her attire. Hermione smiled her thanks and took the woman's hand. Within the next second they were both stood at the back of a little white chapel.
Hermione nearly drooped dead, she looked around and saw a flashing pink neon sign that flashed 'little white chapple, Elvis impersonator if requested' she smiled at the irony of the whole thing, she said she wanted a low key wedding and that was what she was getting.
Looking around the room she saw a Elvis waiting for her, Knight walked to the front of the chapple and stood near Draco. Hermione then noticed that Draco stood there in a simple gray blazer and trouser suit with a dark-Slytherin green turtle neck jumper underneath. He looked so smart yet so casual at the same time and Hermione loved it.
"Shall we?" asked Elvis. Hermione nodded and took his arm. Together they walked down to aisle to where Draco waited for her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Draco, your late, where have you been?" Blaise said at the office the next morning. Draco rolled in at 9:15am and he forgot all about his meeting with Blaise, even if it was a personal meeting rather than business.
"I've been busy mate" he said with a sly smile that Blaise missed
"You left me with two cups of hot coffee, what happened? Your never late"
"I was busy I told you, do you really want me to tell me about my goings on last night" now this time Blaise caught the sly smile Draco made again.
"Who is she?"
"Youll find out soon enough" Draco walked over to his filing cabinet and took out some papers, to which he proceeded to look through as if Blaise wasn't even there
"Draco Malfoy, you tell me this instant what-" Blaise was interrupted by a knock at the door. Draco told the woman she could come in
"Mr. Malfoy there's a woman on the phone who needs to speak with you"
"Tell them he's busy" Blasie said angrily as he aggressively loosened his light blue tie. The woman sensed the tension and left the office. Only to return minutes later
"She says it's really important"
"Tell her he's really busy" Blaise said to the woman. Once again she left and came back
"Mr. Malfoy she says she's your wife and she needs to speak to you right away, its really important"
"He doesn't have a wife-" Blaise again began to say
"That's ok Maria, put her through on line one please" Draco said and sat at his desk waiting for the little flashy button. When it flashed he picked up the phone and talked to Hermione. Draco was been very secretive during the conversation Blaise thought all through Draco's conversation he sat there with his mouth hanging open in total shock. After Draco finished his brief conversation he went back to his papers
"Draco?"
"Yes Blaise"
"Isn't there something you need to tell me?"
"Don't think so," he said dismissively
"Your married?"
"Yes, got married this weekend actually" still he wouldn't look at Blaise for fear of wetting himself with laughter
"Married, who…who to?"
"Hermione"
"Granger?"
"Yes, Hermione Malfoy now" finally he placed his pen upon the papers and leant back in his chair and smile a Blaise while crossing his arms.
"You married Granger…why?"
"Because I did"
"Please don't tell me you knocked her up?" he said shaking his head slightly
"Ok I wont tell you"
"You knocked her up?"
"We prefer the term got pregnant, but yes if you must say it like that then I did knock her up"
"How?"
"Blaise, I know you're an only child and all but your mother has married…. fifteen men before, I think you might have guessed the process involves"
"I know how, just how did you too-oh ohhh" he shook his head knowingly but with a smirk on his face "It was that night about 5 months ago wasn't it before you went to Hong Kong?"
"May have been"
"Come off it, you know it was"
"Yeah, I know it was" Draco said calmly without looking up from his papers.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
