A/N: Sorry I know that it's been crazy long since I updated, but my computer died. I had to go out and get a new computer. I really am sorry.
Hermione was so happy she couldn't wait to get back to her dorm and tell Draco the good news. Even though him and Harry weren't friends, he would be really happy that she had her best friend back. Hermione said the password, and waited impatiently for the portrait to swing open. She rushed in to find Draco laying on the couch reading. "Draco you'll never guess what happened!" Hermione ran over and jumped onto the end of the couch by his feet.
Draco set his book aside. "Well, you seem happy, not angry, so I'm going to guess that Potter has forgiven you. I knew that he would. He's got some brains. How could anyone stay mad at you Hermione?"
Hermione laid down across the couch so that she was laying on top of Draco. "I'm just so happy. Now everything is perfect. I have you, Ginny, and now I've got Harry back. Today just couldn't get any better." Hermione snuggled down into him, and closed her eyes.
"I'm really glad that you're happy. I know that you're friends mean a lot to you. What about Weasley? Has he gotten over being an arse yet?"
"I don't know if Ronald will ever get over being an arse, but he definitely hasn't gotten over being angry at me. He loves me, I don't love him, and he's angry about that. The fact that I'm dating you is just kind of like rubbing salt in the wound. It may take longer for him to come around, but I'm sure he will. I don't even feel like working anymore. I want to celebrate. Lets do something fun."
Draco reached down and lifted her chin in his hand. "What would you like to do? This is your celebration, you choose." He leaned down and kissed her on the nose.
"Will you take me flying again? Lets just get away from the castle for a little while."
"Of course we can go flying. Where do you want to go?"
"Somewhere where it can be just the two of us. Are we allowed to leave the grounds by broom?"
"I don't think so, but who's going to notice if we just go away for a little while. As long as we come back, I'm sure it will be fine. Would you do something kind of special for me?" He brushed a hair off of her face.
"Anything Draco, what is it?" Hermione looked up into his eyes. There was a new emotion there that she didn't recognize.
"Would you come to my house with me? I really would like to check on my mother. I worry about her. Aside from the houseelves, she's all alone in that huge old house."
"Draco, are you sure that's a good idea? What if your mother doesn't like me? I mean, I'm just me, and what if that's not good enough."
"It will be fine. If I love you, my mom will love you, and I do. I love you Hermione. I really would like it if you would come with me."
"I love you too Draco. I'll go, but I think that we should get permission from Dumbledore. I'm sure that he'll let us go, but we should just make sure. I don't want us to get into any trouble."
"Fine, we'll ask Dumbledore. You and your rules." Draco kissed her on the forehead. "Come on lets go ask him. I don't want to wait until too late. Maybe we should floo there instead of flying. It's faster."
"You're probably right. We don't want to get there and have to turn right around and come back. Will you go ask Dumbledore? I'm going to go get changed and freshened up. Do you think that I should wear robes or muggle clothes? Probably robes…yeah definitely robes, we're not going around muggles. I'll just go get ready. I'll see you back here by the fireplace in a little bit." She jumped up and was pacing back and forth.
"Relax, we're just going to see my mom, not the Minister of Magic. She doesn't care what you wear, you look fine the way you are."
"I can't go meet your mother looking like a muggle. I'm just going to go change into some robes."
"Do what you want, but I'm telling you it doesn't matter. She wouldn't care if the woman that I loved showed up wearing nothing but a bed sheet. I'm going to go get the permission. You put on whatever you want to wear, I'm sure it will be great." He got up and kissed her on the cheek before leaving.
Hermione ran up to her room and pulled out every piece of wizard clothing that she owned. She tried on several different robes. The first set were a turquoise color, and she decided that she didn't like them because they weren't dressy enough. The second set were violet, and she didn't like them because they were too dressy. The third set were a scarlet color with gold trim that her mother picked out in Diagon Alley for the Gryffindor colors, she threw those aside immediately. When she was trying on the fourth set, a jade green robe with silver accents, Draco walked in.
Draco looked around the room at the mess that she had made. There were robes strewn everywhere. "What happened, did a tornado hit your closet or something?"
"I couldn't find any robes that I liked. Are these ones ok? Does it look like I'm trying to hard wearing green and silver? I'm not meaning to, maybe I should try on the aqua ones." Hermione was really flustered. She had no idea what a muggleborn witch should wear to meet Narcissa Malfoy.
"You look fine. You don't need to change. I happen to like you in green, and my mother doesn't care what color you wear." He walked over to her, and started rubbing her arms. "Relax Hermione, it's going to be ok. I got the trip oked with Dumbledore, and I called my mother on the floo network to let her know we were coming. She said she was delighted, and that she can't wait to meet you."
"I'm calm. Let me just get my wand, I have to fix my hair and make-up." Hermione started looking around to find where she had put her wand.
Draco went to his room to grab her wand off of his nightstand where she had left it. "Here is your wand, your hair and make-up are fine. Let's get going. My mom is having dinner prepared for us even as we speak."
"Ok. I'm ready. Let's go." She smiled up at him and squeezed his hand.
"Just breathe Hermione. She's going to love you. I promise."
They both walked to the fire and Draco grabbed some floo powder, he threw it into the flames and stepped in. "Malfoy Manor." Hermione followed close behind.
Well, that's it for this chapter. It's not very long, but I didn't want to start into the meeting with Narcissa until next chapter. Hope you all like it. Please review.
