Chapter 20- Epilouge

"You know Draco I've been thinking, I think it would be better for you, to spend Christmas with your mother. I know that you have a lot of things to work out, you know?"

Draco looked down at Hermione laying on his chest, "You don't want to come stay with me?"

"Oh Draco it's not that, I just think you and your mother have some things that you need to work out by yourselves. I would also like to see my parents and tell them about you."

Draco frowned, "Are you sure?"

She nodded.

"Fine."

Draco and Hermione and spent a lot of their time hiding away in their room ,except for dinner and classes. It had been a little over two weeks since Lucius' death and Draco didn't feel like getting weird stares. They were leaving tomorrow for Christmas Break and now Draco was going home alone.

Hermione hit Draco's stomach softly, "Come on Love, we need to pack."

Draco grumbled as Hermione got up and went to her room to pack. Draco got up and went to his room as well. She was right, he needed to pack, the trains were leaving unusually early the next morning.

Draco was waiting at Kings Cross Station to say goodbye to Hermione. She had say with Harry and Ron and the way there and was now saying goodbye to them. He was casually leaning against a wall when Hermione started towards him. She hugged him and he kissed her on the forehead.

"Have a good Christmas Draco, I promise I'll write."

"I know, I hope you have good Christmas too."

Draco have her one last (long) kiss for the Winter Holidays and he left for his car that was waiting outside the station. "Good Afternoon Master Draco." Draco nodded at the door man as he opened the door for him and he stepped inside the car, waving goodbye to Hermione.

It was now a week before Christmas and Hermione was having the best time with her parents. She had told them all about Draco, her mother seemed very happy for her, but her father was in the middle about him. Her father didn't really know much about Draco, but he did know about his mother.

Draco had written back to Hermione's letters always saying that life at the Manor was boring, but him and his mother were coming along fine. They really sat down and talked about a lot of things. Draco found he actually enjoyed the company of his mother. She wasn't as opposed to Hermione being muggle-born as she once was.

"You know mom," Hermione was talking to her mother while setting out presents, "I love Draco very much."

Her mother smiled at her, "That's good darling, you shouldn't let him go then." The only time she had ever seen her daughter this happy was when she found out she was going to Hogwarts. She knew her daughters love was true, and that this Draco guy sounded all right for her.

"Do you think you would like to meet Draco, maybe on Christmas Eve?"

"That sounds lovely dear. He could bring his mother if he wanted too."

Hermione smiled at her mother and ran up to her room to write Draco.

Dear Draco,

I would like to invite you to my house on Christmas to meet my parents. I really miss you and I have a gift for you. My mother has also invited your mother. I would like to meet her, if she knows about me of course. So please owl me back and let me now, I can't wait!

Love,

Hermione

Draco received that letter late that night, and accepted Hermione's invitation. His mother and himself would be going to Grangers for Christmas Eve. His mother was reluctant about going because of Hermione's father, but she wanted to meet Hermione, for Draco's sake. If someone would have him this two years ago he would laughed his ass off. But now, this news gave him something to look forward too.

The week came and went and soon enough Christmas Eve was upon them. Draco and his mother were going to be arriving by car to avoid any muggle suspicion. About four in the afternoon the doorbell rang at the Granger house and Hermione ran to answer it .As soon as she saw Draco she jumped into his arms and kissed him.

"Well hello there." Draco laughed at her.

She straightened herself up and blushed; "I'm sorry come in, come in."

Draco and his mother walked in, "Mother this is my girlfriend, Hermione Granger. Hermione this is my mother Narcissa."

"It's nice to meet you Hermione, Draco has told me so much about you."

"Same here Mrs. Malfoy."

"Oh please dear, Narcissa."

Hermione nodded, "Um..come into the kitchen with me, my parents are in there."

The last time Narcissa had seen Alan Granger was at the Ice Cream shop at Diagon Alley. It was going to be very awkward to see him with his wife, Marie. When they walked into the kitchen both the Grangers were standing over the stove cooking.

"Mom, Dad," she paused, "This is Draco and his mother Narcissa."

Hermione's mom wiped off her hands and hurried over to the blonde mother and son pair. She hugged Draco and then hugged Narcissa as well. "Oh it's so good to meet you two. Especially you Draco, my Hermione has told me so much about you. My, my, you are a handsome one aren't you?"

"Thank you ma'am, and thank you for inviting us."

"Oh it was my pleasure."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Granger."

"Oh call me Marie."

"Narcissa."

Her father was up next, "Narcissa, how are you?"

"Fine, thank you."

Her father took Draco's hand firmly in his; "It's nice to finally meet you Draco."

"You too sir."

They all sat down to dinner and it went very smooth. Draco and Hermione were very happy to be together, and their parents were getting along great. At the end of dinner Hermione and Draco excused themselves and went into the living room to exchanged gifts. Draco was first.

"Okay it's not anything big but when you see it you'll know what it means."

Hermione opened up the small box to reveal Draco's Slytherin class ring, "Oh Draco."

"Now you don't have to wear it 'cause I know you're a Gryffindor and all but I thought you would like to have it. I also thought it would hold some meaning of our days together at Hogwarts."

"I love it. Okay my turn." She smiled at him, "Okay this is kind of weird for me, but I really love you Draco. This is so not something I would have done before I met you, and really got to know you Draco. I realize that you are the best thing that's ever happen to me and..." She looked up at him, "I want to marry you."

"What?"

"If you don't want to I completely understand Draco, I wanted to ask because I don't want to lose you. So will you marry me?"

Draco stared at her for a long while and then smiled, "Of course I will Hermione, but if anyone asks I proposed to you."
