When Hermione stepped out of the fire place she quickly pulled out her wand and did a quick cleaning spell. The last thing that she wanted was to meet Narcissa Malfoy covered from head to toe in soot. She then looked up and her breath was completely taken away. She was standing in the most beautiful library she had ever seen. She couldn't even bring herself to move, she just looked around at the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling bookcases that filled the room.
"Do you like it?" Draco asked noticing the look of awe on her face.
"Draco…it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen." She slowly started to walk towards the nearest shelf. She couldn't believe it. She had never seen so many books in her life. She was so caught up in the books, that she didn't notice that she and Draco were no longer alone in the room.
Draco turned noticing that his mother had just entered the room. He smiled and walked over to her. He placed his hands on his mother's shoulders and kissed her on the forehead. "Hello mother. How have you been?"
Hermione turned around when she heard him talk. She noticed that Narcissa had arrived. She could feel her heart leap into her throat. She slowly walked closer.
Draco turned to Hermione and motioned for her to come over. He then reached his arm around her shoulders. "Hermione, I would like you to meet my mother."
"Hello Mrs. Malfoy. It's nice to meet you." She reached out her hand uncertainly.
"Please dear, call me Narcissa. I don't like being called Mrs. Malfoy, it makes me feel old. Well, dear, Draco has told me a lot about you, but he never told me that you were so beautiful and charming. Come sit, I'll have one of the houseelves bring in some tea." Narcissa motioned for them to follow her to the small seating area in the middle of the giant room.
"Mother, do we really need to bother the houseelves? I can go get the tea." Draco said not taking a seat. He placed his hand on Hermione's shoulder.
"Why ever would you do that dear? It's their job. It's really no trouble I'll just ring the bell for tea. Just sit down Draco." Narcissa reached to the endtable sitting next to her where there was a bell sitting.
"Really mother, I would prefer just go get it myself. There's no need to trouble the elves to do it." Draco protested.
"Don't worry Draco. I would actually like to meet your houseelves. I've heard a lot about them from Dobby. He always speaks very highly of them. Just sit down." Hermione patted the hand that was on her shoulder reassuringly.
Draco shrugged and sat down next to Hermione on the couch. "I just didn't think that we should bother them over something as simple as tea. That's all."
"It's not a trouble for them Draco. They like to do these things. It's what they do." Narcissa said, ringing the bell.
"How many houseelves do you have?" Hermione asked.
"Twelve. They are the only company that I have in this enormous old house while Draco is off at school. It gets dreadfully lonely. I'm so glad that you came to visit. I know how hard it must have been for you to come here. I know how my husband has treated you and your friends. I only wish that there was a way that I could make it up to you. You have made my Draco so happy." At that moment a houseelf arrived carrying a tea tray.
"Here's your tea Mistress. Just like you wanted. Hello Master Draco, I didn't know it was you who was visiting. Hello young Mistress." The houseelf bowed to each of them in turn.
"Hello Minny. Thank you. I would like you to meet Hermione Granger." Draco said indicating Hermione.
"Mistress Granger is it. I've been hearing lots about you Mistress Granger, from Dobby. Dobby says nothing but good things about you. I'm very happy to be meeting you Mistress." Minny bowed once more.
"Please Minny call me Hermione. I am not your mistress, but I do hope to be your friend. Dobby speaks very well of you Minny. He misses all of you dearly. It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Hermione smiled down at the small houseelf.
"Mistress is too kind to Minny. Minny has heard about your kindness, but Dobby hardly does it justice." Minny again bowed.
"Please it's Hermione, and please don't bow like that. I'm not your superior, you don't need to bow to me."
"I'm sorry young Mistress. Is there anything else Minny can get for you Master Draco, Mistress?"
"No, Minny the tea will be all. Thank you." Narcissa stated.
"Then Minny will be going back to the kitchens Mistress. Pleased to meet you young Mistress. Nice to see you back for a visit Master Draco. Minny will be going now." With that she bowed one last time and left the room as fast as she had entered.
"Dobby was right, she is a dear. I do wish that she would call me Hermione though." Hermione took the cup of tea that Narcissa offered.
"It won't work Hermione, I've asked her repeatedly to drop the Master Draco business, but she says that that would be disobeying her place as a houseelf." Draco said taking a sip of his tea.
Hermione started to make a comment, but then thought better of it, and just took a drink of her tea instead. "You have a beautiful library. I've never seen so many books in one place."
"Thank you dear. I rarely come in here except for to take tea. Most of these books have probably never been touched, except for to be dusted. It's a shame really, my husband loved to collect so many things, but he never took the time to enjoy them. Draco was the only one to ever come here to read." Narcissa indicated the infinite shelves of books.
"If I had a library like this in my house I would spend hours in here trying to read every book. I couldn't imagine not taking the time to enjoy such a wonderful collection of books." Hermione let her eyes roam around the room. She wished that she had just a few hours to sit in this room alone, and devour as many books as she could.
"You would spend all of your time reading if you could. Hermione has a passion for reading that even surpasses mine." Draco set his cup down and put his arm around Hermione's shoulders.
"You two make such a lovely couple. You two should really come visit more often. You should come here for the Christmas holiday. I would love to have you stay with us Hermione." Narcissa said also setting down her teacup.
"That's very nice, but I wouldn't want to impose. Christmas is a time for family, I wouldn't want to intrude on that." Hermione was shocked by the offer.
"You should come Hermione. I couldn't think of anyone that I would rather spend my holiday with than you. No offense mother." Draco added turning Hermione to face him. "Will you think about it?"
"Of course Draco. I'll have to check with my parents. I usually spend the holidays at home with them, but I'm sure that they wouldn't mind." Hermione replied.
They spent the rest of the evening chatting, and then it was time for Draco and Hermione to get back up to the school. "Do come visit me again you two. It's nice to have someone to talk to who isn't constantly bowing and asking if I need anything. I do hope you can come for Christmas dear, the Manor is beautiful for the holidays." She kissed Hermione on the forehead, and turned and did the same to Draco. "Draco do you mind staying behind a moment dear?"
"Of course mother. I'll be along in a minute Herimione." He kissed her, and she stepped up to the fire grabbed some floo powder, threw it into the flames, stepped in, and shouted "Head dormitory Hogwarts," and was gone.
"I'm so relieved to see you so happy Draco. She's wonderful, and I can see why you love her. You hold on tight to her Draco. She's the best thing that has ever happened to you. I love you honey, and I only want to see you happy." Narcissa hugged her son.
"I am happy. Hermione makes me happier than I have ever been. I can't believe that I went for so long treating her like dirt, and she still forgave me. Sometimes I don't think that I deserve her. I must be the luckiest man in the world." Draco pulled back and kissed his mom on both cheeks. "Thank you for being so wonderful. I'm going to try my hardest to get Hermione to join her for Christmas. I have something special that I want to do, and I want it to be on Christmas morning."
"What do you have planned? Maybe I can help." Narcissa thought that she had a pretty good idea of what her son was planning, and she couldn't be more thrilled.
"I'm going to ask her to marry me. I know that we've only been together for a short time, but I love her mama. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. I don't know what I would do without her. Do you think that I'll scare her away? I don't want to rush into anything."
"Draco, I saw the way she looked at you. It was the way I used to look at your father. She loves you Draco. I think that you would make her the happiest girl in the world. It doesn't matter how long you've been together it's the quality of the time you have spent. Besides there is plenty of time between now and Christmas, by then you will no for sure if it is right. Now, you better get going dear. I love you Draco."
"I love you too. I will see you for Christmas if not before. Good bye." Draco hugged his mom one last time, kissed her on her forehead, grabbed floo powder through it in the fire, stepped in and went back to Hogwarts.
He stepped out of the fire to find that Hermione wasn't in the common room. "Hermione, I'm back. Where are you?"
"I'm up in my room, come on up. I'm just changing. I can't believe how late it is." Hermione called.
Draco walked up the stairs and into Hermione's room. He found her standing there in her bra, and a pair of boy shorts. He walked over behind her and snaked his arms around her belly. "I think you look good in this. You should definitely wear this to bed." He kissed her neck, and slowly turned her around.
"You like this do you? I'm in my underwear, of course you like it." She reached her arms up around his neck. She reached up and kissed him.
Draco scooped her up in his arms deepening the kiss. He took her over and laid her on the bed. Breaking the kiss he looked down into her eyes. "Thank you for coming with me today. It really met a lot for you to come and meet my mother. She adores you already. Who can blame her. You are the most amazing person I have ever known. I love you so much Hermione."
"I love you too Draco. Your mom is really great. I have to admit I was really nervous about meeting her. I was afraid that I would disappoint her." Hermione looked away from him.
"You don't ever have to worry about impressing people Hermione. Just be yourself. You are beautiful, and perfect, and people can't help but love you." Draco grabbed her chin and moved her head so he was looking into her eyes again. "What can I do to make you see how wonderful you are?"
Hermione smiled. "Just love me. Just knowing that you love me, makes me feel special. You could have anyone in the world, and you've chosen me. That has to count for something right." She reached back up and pulled him down into a passionate kiss. She moved her hands down and started to take off his robe. She slid it down off of his arms and pushed it to the floor. She then reached down to lift his shirt up over his head.
Draco leaned back so that she could lift his shirt all the way off. He then leaned back over her, and started kissing all over her face, and down her neck. He could feel her hands moving down his chest to his pants. He lifted himself up on his arms so that it would be easier for her to slide them down. He moved his mouth back up and took hers in a passionate kiss.
Hermione slid his pants to the floor. She then reached her hands up to his chest and started to push him so that he was laying on his back on the bed. She then moved so that she was straddling him. She looked down in to his eyes. "I love you so much Draco." She leaned down and started kissing down his neck, to his chest. She stopped when she got to his boxers, and moved her hands to pull them off. She slowly slid them off, and threw them to join the rest of his clothes on the floor. "When I'm with you all I want to do is lose control. I need you Draco. Please…make love to me." She moved up and kissed all the way back up to his mouth.
Draco reached around to her back, and undid her bra strap, allowing it slide down her arms, he threw it to the floor. He then pulled her up so that he could remove her matching green silk boy shorts that she was wearing. "I love you too Hermione." He said, as she kissed all over his chest. "I want you so bad." He turned her over so that she was back on the bottom. He looked over her body. "Merlin Hermione, you are so beautiful." He moved over her and positioned himself at her opening. He slowly moved into her. He wanted to be gentle, he didn't want to hurt her, this was only her second time. He paused to give her body time to get used to him.
"Don't stop Draco. I want you so bad." Hermione grinded down on him. "Please don't stop."
Draco started to pump in and out of her. Slowly at first, but then faster. He could see every emotion reflected in her eyes. He could tell that she wasn't in any pain this time. All that he saw in her eyes was pleasure. He could feel her grinding hard against him, so he went a little faster. He didn't know how long he was going to last at this rate. He had never felt anything so good in his entire life. He could feel the sweat start to form all over his body.
Hermione kept pushing harder onto Draco. She could feel her body start to quake. She knew that she was going to climax soon. She pulled Draco down closer. Her nails digging into his back. She was trying to stay quiet, but she was having a hard time holding back. She climaxed screaming his name, her eyes rolling back in her head.
Draco leaned down and kissed her, first on her forehead, and then on her mouth. He loved to see that look of total ecstasy on her face knowing that he was the one who put it there. He was reaching his climax too. He pumped one last time and collapsed onto her exhausted.
Hermione reached up and ran her hands through his damp hair. She has never felt more satisfied, and complete in her life. She kissed him on the top of his head.
Draco rolled over so that he was laying next to her on the bed facing her. "I must be the luckiest man in the world. You have no idea how happy you have made me. I love you Hermione Granger." He yawned, closing his eyes.
"I love you too Draco Malfoy." She kissed him on each of the eyelids, and then rolled over so that she could cuddle into him. "Goodnight."
"Mmmm…goodnight." Draco wrapped his arms around her and was asleep in no time.
