3 Avalon Drive

After a short ride we pulled onto a picturesque street that ended in a cul-de-sac. At the end of this street was our new home. 3 Avalon Drive. It looked just like it had in the picture. It was painted a pale blue with white trim. Victorian style trim decorated the roof crest and the porch railings. The rose bushes on either side of the front walkway gave off an intoxicating scent. There were different types of trees planted throughout the front yard, and lilac bushes ran along one side of the house. We approached the front porch and saw those rocking chairs from the picture. They rocked slowly on their own in the breeze. I could picture us sitting there as we grew old together.

The driver sat our luggage on the grass and Draco tipped him, but we didn't enter the house yet. We just stood there, taking in the beauty and simpleness of this home.

"What do you think?" he asked me after many moments of content silence.

"I think it is the most breathtaking, beautiful, perfect house I have ever seen." I hugged and kissed him, and then I grabbed his hand and drug him up on the porch.

"Let's go in" I said.

He scooped me up and then went to unlock the door. He waved his wand at the lock and gave the password;

"Moonflower," he looked at me with a smirk "I had McGonagall set it for me." he laughed at my shocked expression.

He carried me over the threshold and set me down in the entry and I stood there looking around at my, no our new home. It was just as lovely as the pictures. The entry hallway was painted a pale cream color, with hardwood floors and a spot to hang your coat, and place your shoes and such. The kitchen was painted a pale yellow with white cabinets and trim. It also had a fireplace with white brickwork and a white mantle on top. The living room had been painted a warm coco color, with honey oak wood trim and a huge stone fireplace that took up one entire wall. On the stone were shelves just begging to be filled with my favorite books. And the hearth looked to be a place for us to sit and enjoy a meal or some wine. We walked further down the hall and saw a small study. It was finished with dark woods, and had even more bookshelves, and a heavy wooden desk built into the wall. Across the hall from this was a small bathroom in a lovely pale peach color with just a toilet and sink. In the entry hall, the steps led upstairs. The stairway was painted in the same pale cream color, and so was the upstairs hall. In the middle of the hall was a built in linen cupboard, painted white. Next to that was the bathroom. It was painted a bright white, with gold trim and accents. The tub was nearly as large as the one in our bath at Hogwart's had been, and there were almost a dozen faucets. One wall was covered in a mirror from the top of the double vanity to the ceiling. It had a small stool that I could sit at and do my hair and makeup, and two sinks, one on either side of the vanity. The shower in the corner was covered in gold and white tiles, and was large enough for two people. It even had a bench to sit on, covered in the same ornate tile. The shower doors were clear and made of glass. On the last wall there was the toilet which was a shiny gold, and a huge closet. There was also a door that was partially open. When we walked into it we realized we were in the most beautiful bedroom I had ever seen. It was light and airy, painted a pale blue and white, with some gold accents. It had sheer window curtains that fluttered in the breeze, and two French doors that led to a terrace overlooking the back yard. The carpet was white and fluffy. And there was a fireplace on the same wall as the French doors. We left this room out the hallway door and made our way to the last bedroom. It was smaller than ours, but it was painted in a pink that was so pale, it was very hard to see. It had hardwood floors, and a rug that was placed right in the middle. There was a small closet in the corner, and two large bright windows that faced the front of the house.

"Oh Draco, this is the house of my dreams, it is perfect!" I hugged him tightly, and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Are you disappointed?" I asked him. His face was slightly blank as he looked around.

"No, it's just going to take some getting used to." he smiled, "But as long as you are here with me, it's the most perfect home in the world."

The next week was filled with picking out furniture, linens, paintings, and china. I had fun shopping with him, but felt guilty letting him pay for everything. I expressed my concern as we came out of the store where we picked out a blue comforter with gold embroidery and pale gold satin sheets.

"Don't be silly Hermione," he said as he gripped my hand, "you are my fiancé, this is all for us. Don't worry about money, I have plenty left, and we both start work in September. Let's just finish the house and get ready for that housewarming party you wanted to have."

The house was coming together nicely, and between the two us, we had made it very comfortable and cozy. I owled my parents and told them I was coming to pick up some of my things that day. I thought it better to go alone, and see how much progress my mum had made convincing my dad that I was happy and content. I apperated to my parents house about 3pm that day. When I walked in my mum greeted me warmly. We hugged and then I went to say hi to my dad. He was sitting in his favorite chair, watching TV,

"Hi dad" I said, bending in to hug him

"Hello sweetheart." he said with some warmness in his voice.

"I came to pick up some of my belongings and to invite you and mum to a housewarming party next Saturday, 7pm." I looked at him, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

"I think I have to work that day dear." he looked back to the TV.

"7pm on a Saturday dad? I don't think so. Please, I really want to show you the house, and I want you to walk me down the aisle next month. I wont take no for an answer." I stared at him intensely.

"Fine, but don't expect me to welcome him with open arms like your mum." he replied.

"Daddy, I love him. You will see." I said strolling out of the living room and going up to my childhood room to gather my things. I had sent Crookshanks to stay here for the last month until we could get organized at the new house. I put him in his carrier and apperated all of my belongings to my new home. I walked back downstairs and kissed my family goodbye.
"See you next Saturday." I shouted as I apperated back to 3 Avalon Drive.
