Lucius and Narcissa walked with Hermione down the halls of their home to Draco's bedroom. It was about 9pm and very dark, the Malfoy's were never ones for much light so the halls were very dark.
Lucius stopped at a door and knocked, before he waited for a answer he opened and walked in taking Hermione and Narcissa with him
"What's she doing here?" Draco asked as he stood up from his desk
"She is staying the night, her parents will be moving in to their old home tomorrow, so Hermione is staying here tonight"
"Not in here" Draco seemed alarmed
"Yes, Draco she is to be your wife, you have to spend time together, i don't mean actually together in that way" Narcissa said going red, much to Lucius amusement "What we mean is, she is to stay in your room, with you and get to know each other, were well aware of the history you have and want it changed"
"Good night Lady Granger" Lucius said
"Yeah" Hermione managed to spurt out. Lucius and Narcissa left the room. Draco and Hermione looked at each other deadly.
"Well, which side am i to sleep on?" Hermione asked looking at the bed
"The left, im on the right" he snapped "And im not happy about this"
"You think i am, because im not, it might be every other girls fantasy to sleep with the great Draco Malfoy, but its not at the top of my list, not even on my list" Hermione argued
"Well mu-...Granger im calling the shots" Draco said, he was going to say sleeping in the same bed as a mudblood wasn't the top of his list but then he remembered she saw of pure blood.
"Nice save Draco" she said catching what he did. "Where's the bathroom?" she asked
"Follow me" Draco led her out of his room and down the hall. Hermione was admiring the pictures on the wall as she went
"Welcome back Miss Hermione so nice to see you again" on very old wizard said, his name was written underneath, Articus Malfoy, father of Lucius Malfoy
"Thank you" Hermione replied. Draco heard his grandfather talking to Hermione like she was a old friend.
"in there, don't be too long your not the only one who needs it" he snapped as she went inside.
"Draco darling you need to be more nicer to her, she is going to be married to you" Cecilia Malfoy told him
"Thank you grandmother" Draco snapped through gritted teeth while his grandmother moaned about young teenagers manners these days.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Neither had the best night's sleep, neither slept much. They tried to stay away from each other as physically possible on a double bed. When morning came Hermione jumped right out and ran out of the room, she didn't bother about her usual morning shower, she just wanted to get out. She went to the hall way by the front door and saw a car out side her new house, her parents were un loading boxes with their wands, it was weird seeing her parents using magic, but it made her smile. She unlocked the door and went to help them. Lucius and Narcissa were all ready helping them.
Draco used this time with out Hermione to catch up on the nights sleep he missed.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lunchtime came and Cissa sent a house elf over to the Grangers, Hermione had given up helping them and allowed them to work for her.
Draco walked across the garden to the Grangers, when he went inside he saw just how huge it was. The entrance hall was the size of the great hall at Hogwarts. He could only imagine how big Hermione's room was, it would be much bigger than his, that was for sure.
"Malfoy" Hermione greeted "Lunch is in the dining room. just give me a minute and ill show you where it is. When i find it myself" she said as she walked down the stairs to meet him. "i think its over in this room, but i don't know" she said and frowned "DADDY" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Draco gave her a face "It always worked when i was lost, once i got lost in MFI and i...never mind"
" 'Mione...what's wrong?" Charlie asked as he saw his daughter and Draco in the main entrance
"We got lost Mr. Granger.. your daughter was just using a age old trick to get you to help her" Draco said politely
"Ah yes, always worked, once she was lost in MFI and we spent all day trying to find her she was unable to speak for a whole week after, she lost her voice for screaming too much" He laughed and directed them the dining room. There was the whole family waiting for them.
"Son" Lucius greeted. They all sat down and ate, the elder's catching up on milestones in each others lives that they missed, Draco and Hermione just sat listening, going red when their parents said some thing embarrassing about them.
"Im not marrying her" Draco suddenly blurted out for no reason
"I beg your pardon young man" Lucius said with his evil stare
"I said father im not marrying her" Draco stood up throwing his napkin down to the floor
"Draco Lucius Octavian Malfoy, you pick that up right away and apologize to Charlie and Libby" Naricssa said and too stood, she was not as tall as her son, but she meant business
"Sorry, but im not marrying her, you cant make me do it"
"Well you have too. Draco its contracted" Libby said "We all signed it, it has to happen"
"But mum, what about school, we go back tomorrow, and we turn 18 in a few days, what will people say" Hermione pleaded
"You will go to school friends, and stay on friendly terms. Hermione you made Head girl and Draco is head boy, that means you will be working together and sharing a common room, so you have to be friends"
"But mum" Hermione pouted
"Don't pout dear"
"Mum please"
"Hermione no and that's my final word, now i want the both of you to call a truce, shake hand and be friends" Libby said
"FINE" both shouted and shook hands, both against each others will. They continued to eat until Lucius suggested a tour round the house. They all went off round the house Hermione and Draco staying silent and neither looking at each other the whole trip. When they reached the dining room again Hermione walked over to the window and looked out not so far away was Draco's Manor house.
Hermione only decided to have a little look around the house, she found her room, but decided not to go in with all those people there she especially didn't want Draco to see her room and all her personal things.
"Mum, dad" Hermione called as she turned away from the window looking worried " Rosie, where is she?"
"Down in the kitchens dear, the house elfs said they would look after her down there while you was at school" Charlie said
"Roise?" Narcissa asked
"Hermione's pet rabbit" Libby piped in
"What's a rabbit?" Draco asked
"Oh, Hermione will show you, later. Hermione have you checked on Lionel?" Libby asked. Hermione's face dropped
"Lionel, oh god i forgot about him" she exclaimed
"Let me guess another pet" Draco snapped, Libby nodded "Not very responsible if she forgets them is she"
"Draco" Lucius snapped this time
"Im gonna check on him, is he in my room?" she asked
"Yes, bring him down, i think Draco will like him" Charlie told his daughter who was leaving the room. Draco eyed the door suspiciously, waiting for Hermione to return. Lucius and Narcissa was waiting to see what Lionel was too.
Hermione walked through the door, with a little snake in her hand, wrapped around her wrist. Lionel was about 1 meter long, a greenish silver colour.
"A snake, Lionel is a snake?" Narcissa asked as Hermione walked over to them
"Yes, ive had him about 5 or 6 years now, i got him just after finishing my first year of school" Hermione said
"How very Gryffindor of you" Draco said sarcastically
"Yes i thought so too" Hermione joked
"Well when Hermione bought him, we wasn't surprised since the hat nearly put her in slytherin house" Libby said
"WHAT, you were nearly in slytherin house" Draco seemed shocked
"I am pureblood, you know, just because i didn't know it at the time, didnt mean the hat couldn't sense it in me, but luckily he put me in gryffindor house" Hermione said and went to sit on the window seat near Draco
"Wanna hold?" She asked him and offered Lionel to Draco, who scooted further away from her
"How very slytherin of you, poor little Draco Malfoy, slytherin prince and scared of snakes" Hermione winded jokily, then she leaned into him and whispered "Wait until i tell people" she laughed
"You really are slytherin aren't you" he said in retaliation
"Too right" she replied
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
