"There's a fine line between love and hate Draco" She said taking his hand and leading him back into his room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Draco stared into Hermione's eyes as she tucked him into his bed, telling him to actually get some real rest. He fell asleep minutes later falling victim to Hermione's strong dreamless sleeping formula in spell form.

She went around his room and started to clean up his messy room. She found a letter addressed to the second heir of the Malfoy from mister. And lady Esperanto. Hermione looked at it in shock and sat down in Draco imported dragon skin chair as she carefully opened the letter,

Dear the second heir of Malfoy,

My husband and I feel that we should thank you for agreeing to marry our daughter. As much as we'd like to personally do so, we cannot. If you are reading this my husband and I are most likely already dead. The world is getting darker every day. There is no day that is better than the one before it. It is full of evil. I'd like to inform you however the burdens that may come along with your fiancée. Hermione must not be informed of the betrothal plan before her 17th birthday for fear of her identity will be revealed. There will be the Esperanto Fortune transferred to her account on her 18th birthday. Therefore you will not be burdened with her financial matters. We the Esperanto's have no living relatives anymore as you grandfather may have told you. We are forever in debt to the Malfoy's for doing us such a large favor. But before I detour even more I must inform you of the danger that Hermione will face if she is not under the protection of a powerful family, like yours. Voldemort will vanquish soon enough after the death of two powerful wizards and when half of his powers are transferred to a young little boy. But within 20 years he will be in reign once again. If he finds Hermione her life is in grave danger. As much as the little boy, Harry potter. Voldemort will try to hunt them down. The reason? Hermione is the bearer of the other half of Voldemort's powers. Only when Voldemort has captured them both will he have succeded in his plans. Then all is lost. Perhaps I should inform you that on Hermione's 18th birthday her powers will kick in and that's when Voldermort will find her. Which is why she must be married when she turns 18. It will put you and your family in some sort of danger, threatening you lives. Maybe I should tell you how I know this. I am a futuristic seer, meaning I can see in the future for around 10 to 20 years. Once again I thank you and your family for providing a safe home for my dear Hermione

Sincerely

Lady Esperanto.

Hermione folded the letter and placed it back in the envelope.

She paused for a moment thinking how big a sacrifice it was for Draco to marry her. One tear slipped down her eye as she closed the door to Draco's room and headed back down the stairs to greet Harry and Ron.

"Hermione, you alright?" Harry asked running up to Hermione.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just going to go to Grandpa Malfoy's study first. There's something I gotta go talk to him about."

"Alright, you want us to come with you?" Ron asked.

Hermione nodded and then turned around the two boys followed her.

Hermione stopped at the door of Grandpa Malfoy's study.

-Knock- -Knock-

"Come In"

Hermione could hear a voice inside.

She slowly opened the door and Harry and Ron followed her.

"Hey," Hermione said as Grandpa Malfoy looked up from his papers,

"Hermione! Why didn't you tell us you were awake! We could have come and gotten you"

"Oh well I decided to visit my house first, and I didn't really want to bother you guys"

"You're part of the family, no need for formalities, Here sit down." Grandpa Malfoy said motioning for Hermione to sit.

He looked up and saw Harry and Ron awkwardly standing there.

"Grandpa I just thou..."

Grandpa Malfoy put up a hand to stop Hermione.

"Finally we meet, Mister Harry Potter and Mister Ron Weasley, Draco has told me many things about you. Please have a seat" Grandpa Malfoy smiled.

"There are many things that need to be discussed Hermione, while you were in the hospital a protection charm was placed over you so you shouldn't be in any danger, until now" He said glancing at the corner of the letter that was stuffed in Hermione's pocked.

She blushed and pulled it out "Um yes, I was cleaning

Draco's room and I came across this piece of document"

"Then you in no doubt know that you are in grave danger, We the Malfoys are the only ones that can protect you, or give you the maximum amount of protection, since we've been granted a spell made by Merlin himself." He then turned to Harry.

"Mister Potter, you are in the same grave danger. I know that you are an orphan and although you may not need financial support you do need protection as well." Grandpa said lowering his glasses.

"Um, well I wouldn't want to give you any trouble." Harry said politely

"Nonsense, My son Karl and his wife Morgana have two sons and a daughter, The sons are currently... well let's say not in the best parts of society. James has been sent to a boarding school, and his younger brother has been disowned. They'd love to have someone there to keep them company in the absence of their two kids. Their daughter is almost a lock away child. She never comes out anymore, that why miss. Esperanto didn't meet her last summer" Grandpa Malfoy said acknowledging Hermione's shocked face.

"I don't know Sir, I'm touched by your offer but I will put your family in danger."

"Let's try it for a few weeks, I assure you, no one will die" Grandpa Malfoy said.

Harry nodded, not knowing what else to do.

"Hermione,"

Hermione looked up to see that Grandpa Malfoy had diverted his attention back to her,

"Yes."

"About the wedding plans," He said.

"Could I maybe talk them over with Draco when he gets enough rest, and may I please use the kitchen the Granger family has a recipe for a liquid/solid element of food that will get Draco feeling much better again, and also I used the wouifukjingshung spell on him." She said reporting back to Grandpa what things she had done on Draco.

Grandpa Malfoy smiled "You don't need to ask for permission to use the kitchen, this is your home and as for the spell you used on Draco, he's your husband-to-be there's no need for you to tell me everything you do to him anymore, the Malfoy family entrusts Draco's health and everything to you, you are in charge, you are his fiancée." Grandpa Malfoy said.

"Right, um thank you" Hermione nodded.

"I'll see all three of you at dinner tonight, Mister Weasley please extend this invitation to the rest of your family, and remember you are free to join us for dinner whenever you feel like you want to see your friends"

Ron nodded and the three of them made their way out of the room into the hall. They gasped as they saw something lying on the floor...
