Thanks to my two wonderful reviewers! I love you! (lol)
Disclaimer: I only own the plot
The next few months went by rather fast. Hermione explained to Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Lavender, Parvati, Seamus and Dean everything from the three letters, that is except that Draco was, is, completely in love with her and her him. Soon it was the day of the Christmas ball...
Hermione's POV
I stood in front of the long mirror in my room. My dress was sky blue and one side of the dress reached my left ankle and then diagnaled up so that on the right side it was just above my knee. The top part of the dress was tight fitting showing all my curves and then the skirt was looser. My legs were smooth and shaven. My hair was put up in a messy bun with some curls hanging loose though still held up. My hair was glittery also. I had sparkly, though somewhat natural looking, eye shadow on and black mascara. My black eyeliner was put on magically since I couldn't seem to put it on myself. I had red lipstick on that went perfect with me. I had on blue high heels with straps that criss-crossed around my legs until it reached just below my knees.
I frowned because I didn't have Maria Granger's necklace. Suddenly there was a light knock on my door. I opened it to find Draco whose mouth was slightly open in awe from how I look. I saw in his hands Maria's necklace. I squeaked with joy and threw my arms around his neck.
"Oh thank you Draco!"

Draco's POV
I grinned when she threw her arms around me. I didn't hug her back because I wanted to be careful with the diamond necklace. I put it on her and looked her up and down, taking in all her beauty. Her delicate brown curls, her curves that were in all the right places, her near perfectness.
"You look stunning Hermione." I choked out, still in awe at her beauty. No girl had ever been able to make me like this. Make me have to choke out my words or even become speechless.
I myself was in a black tux with a dark green tie. My hair was hanging loosely and in my eyes. At this ball we were supposed to dress like muggles would. I took her hand and led her out of the common room and into the Great Hall. We took our seats together while waiting for the ball to start.
End of Draco's POV
Finally the first slow song began to play. The Head Boy and Girl were supposed to lead the first dance so Draco and Hermione walked out to the middle of the floor and began to slow dance. Soon others began to join them. Hermione rested her head on his shoulder without even noticing. The closeness of their bodies, the wave of heat and electricity, felt great.
When the song ended they sat back down and began talking about what winter break was going to be like. The whole thing was taking place at the Minogue Manor because it was a bit more peaceful there. Their talk was interrupted though by Harry, Ron, Lavender and Parvati sitting down at their table.
"Hey Hermione, You look wonderful." Harry said kindly, nodding to Draco. Ever since they found out about the three letters Harry, Ron and Draco had been kinder towards each other.
"Thanks Harry, you too." For the rest of the ball all six of them talked and danced together and just had fun.
"I can't believe that the next time we see you you'll be Hermione Malfoy." Ron said, hugging Hermione.
"I know. I wish you guys could come, but it's family only." Hermione hugged Harry and forced herself to smile. "So I'll see you guys after break?"
"You know it 'Mione." Harry said. Hermione sighed and walked towards the train. Draco had taken her trunk so she didn't have to worry about that. Hermione sat down next to Draco in their compartment and sighed. She watched as Hogwarts faded into the distance. Both she and Draco were dressed in muggle cloths. Draco was in black jeans and a white t-shirt. Hermione was in blue jeans and a black long sleeved shirt with a white t-shirt over it.
Finally they reached the platform. They pulled on their jackets, shrunk their trunks and put them in their pockets. They then stepped off the train. Automatically Hermione looked up at her tall fiancé to see if he knew whom the Minogues were. Obviously he did for he led her to a man with short red hair and a woman with long very dirty blonde hair.
"Hermione, this is Pierre and Elise Minogue. Mr. and Mrs. Minogue, this is your daughter, Hermione." Draco introduced. They all hugged each other. All four of them were smiling, which was rare on Draco's behalf.
"Well, let's go home now. Did both of you pass your apparation tests?" Pierre asked kindly.
"Of course," Hermione and Draco said in almost complete unison.
"Well then just think Minogue Manor then!" Elise's creepily happy voice said.
The two parents disapparated quickly and soon after Draco and Hermione followed suit. Once everyone arrived, Elise showed them their room, they were sharing one since they were going to be married in a couple of days. The two were left alone in the room then and so they began to unpack, putting away their cloths in one of the two dressers. They put all their books in the bookcase in the left corner. One thing that was good about their relationship was that they both enjoyed reading.
Just as they finished unpacking Elise called them down for dinner. The two walked downstairs and with Draco leading the way, to the dinning room. Pierre, Elise and Draco's mother Narcissa Malfoy sat at the table. They both took seats nest to, or in between on Hermione's behalf, their parents so that they were right across from each other.
Dinner went by with a lot of talking. The next day Hermione would be going out shopping with her mother and Narcissa whilst Draco and Pierre would be doing guy things. After dinner Draco and Hermione went upstairs to their bedroom and got ready for bed. Much to Hermione's joy, she discovered that Draco slept in his boxers. (Thank god he wore boxers!) Hermione slipped into her lime green silk pajama pants and a white tank top. The manor was at a decent temperature so neither of them was cold in what they were wearing. They climbed into their king sized bed and took their books from their bedside tables. There was just enough light in the room to read.
Draco's POV
I opened my book, 'Quidditch Through the Ages', to my spot. I looked over at Hermione and grinned. She looked so beautiful. I turned back to my book and began reading on page twenty-three about the keeper.

Hermione's POV
I looked over at Draco while he was reading. The dull light reflected off his platinum blonde hair. He turned a page and his perfect silverfish eyes began reading the page. I grinned and yawned. It was getting late and I was tired.
End of Hermione's POV
Draco noticed Hermione's yawn and closed his book. He placed it on his bedside table and turned out his light. "Let's go to sleep" Hermione closed her book and also placed it on her bedside table. She turned out her light and they gave each other a quick kiss on the lips goodnight. They then went to sleep.
When Hermione woke up the next day she found herself in the crook of Draco's arm. She carefully eased herself out of bed and chose her cloths. She snuck out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. She took a quick bath and got dressed. After that she did her hair in a loose ponytail and put on a little bit of makeup.
Once Hermione got downstairs to the breakfast room (Draco had showed it to her the day before) she saw Narcissa, Pierre and Elise sitting at the table. She took her seat between her parents and said her good mornings.
"Where's Draco?" Narcissa asked.
Hermione was about to tell her that he was still asleep when he answered for her in a tired voice. "I'm right here." He said while putting on his black shirt. He took his seat next to his mother, right across from Hermione.
"Morning Draco," Hermione said in a cheerful tone.
"Ugh… stop being so cheerful Hermione. It's early." He said dully.
"No," she said simply and playfully. Draco kicked her. "Ow! What was that for?" The parents burst out laughing at the two teens.
"Oh Hermione, you look wonderful in that dress! And it's sexy…" Ginny Weasley exclaimed. They had run into each other while Hermione, her mother and Draco's mother were shopping for the wedding day. Ginny was now helping her choose a dress and shoes whilst Narcissa and Elise were jewelry shopping for her.
"Oh, I think I'll get this one!" Hermione exclaimed whilst twirling in front of the mirrors. A lady came over and made adjustments to the dress to make it fit her perfectly. The dress was tight fitting at the top and then looser at the skirt part. It had a V neck allowing her necklace to lay on her skin yet still be shown and it showed some cleavage. It was see through in many spots. The spot at her stomach was see through, though where her breasts were it wasn't see through. From just above her knees and down it was see through. The long sleeves were see through also. So basically the only parts that weren't see through were where it matters.
Hermione took the dress off and paid for it with the money her mother had given her. The two girls exited the dress store, then, the dress would be taken to the manor the next morning, and went to the shoe store. Hermione chose a pair of crystal high heels and paid for them. The high heels would help her 5'6 self get at least closer to Draco's 6'2 self. Course it would only add maybe two or three inches to her.
They walked out of the store with the shoes carefully wrapped up and in a bag at the same time as Narcissa and Elise exited the jewelry store with a bag full of expensive jewelry. "Ah Hermione, good, we should head back home now it's almost time for sup…" Elise was cut off by Harry whom came over with Ron, Fred, George and Mrs. Weasley.
"Hermione!" He ran over and hugged her.
"Be careful, I have very expensive shoes here," Hermione said half jokingly. Harry stood in front of her and Ron came over with a present in his hands.
"Ginny told us you were here so we all chipped in to get you and Malfoy this. Wait until the wedding to open it though." Ron said. He had a huge grin on his face and behind him Mrs. Weasley was smiling and Fred and George were grinning,
Hermione grinned and took it. "Thank you so much," She hugged them all and then Elise motioned for her to come over. They apparated home at that.
"You may kiss the bride." The priest announced. Draco brought Hermione into a minute long, heart stopping kiss and when he pulled away he grinned.
The wedding had taken place in the Minogues' garden. The aisle was filled with pink rose petals. A spell had been placed on the garden so that the flowers were bloomed, it was and sunny and it was at a comfortable temperature. It was absolutely perfect.
The jewelry Narcissa and Elise got her was a diamond necklace with a tear drop, a diamond bracelet, a ruby anklet and gold long dangly earrings.
(I know, I didn't really go through the wedding. Sorry!)
"Now, let's see, where's my present to you?" Draco said to Hermione on Christmas morning. He got up and exited the room. A moment later he reentered the room with the most adorable looking puppy in his arms. "Merry Christmas, Hermione!" He handed her the red goldendoodle (golden retriever and poodle I have one!) puppy. "I heard you mention how you love dogs and when I saw this little girl I had to get her for you."
Hermione kissed him and then looked at the puppy's face. "Oh, Draco, thank you! She has the cutest little face."
Draco grinned. "You'll have to leave her here though whilst we're at school."
"Oh well, I'll just get to look forward to seeing my little Princess at the end of the school year then." Draco laughed at her comment…
