It seemed that news of the Granger/Malfoy engagement spread around so fast that Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger barely had time to tell Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Ginevra Weasley and Blaise Zabini before it hit the papers. Owls began coming by the dozens to the Malfoy Manor from people hoping to receive invitations to the wedding. By this time Draco and Hermione had returned to the manor along with Draco's half sister, Jennessica Sanders. Today was the day that the couple was going to inform Hermione's parents about the engagement. The loving parents of the soon to be bride were to arrive at the manor within the hour.

"Well don't we look lovely?" Draco said, coming out of the bathroom in black dress pants and socks. His white button-up t-shirt was left unbuttoned and his green and black striped tie was left undone. Draco smiled as he looked her over. She was wearing a lavender, off shoulder dress that reached just below her knees; these were her parents after all. Her long curly brown hair was up in a messy, yet elegant, bun and she had light makeup on. Hermione smiled at him while looking in the closet mirror and putting in her dangling silver earrings. Draco came up behind her after buttoning up his shirt and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I just want to look nice for tonight." Hermione turned around in Draco's arms and kissed him lightly. She reached up and tied his tie for him. She then smiled at him and walked into the bathroom. Draco smiled as he watched her retreating back, and arse. The two still slept in separate rooms, but they tended to do everything else in the same room. Hermione wanted to save herself for their wedding night and Draco fully understood, even if he wasn't exactly a virgin himself. He actually really liked that about her and thought that he should have done that as well.

Draco had just finished putting on his dress shoes when a house elf came to tell him that Hermione's parents had arrived. Draco smiled and dismissed the paid elf. Draco then knocked on the bathroom door. Hermione came out and after Draco told her her parents had arrived the two exited the bedroom and made their way downstairs. Jennessica had kindly agreed to ask a friend if she could stay over so that the couple and Hermione's parents could be alone. Upon entering the entrance hall the couple found Mr. and Mrs. Granger looking around at the paintings and other artifacts that decorated the hall. The couple approached them and greeted them kindly.

"Mrs. Granger you look absolutely stunning this evening." Draco said while lightly kissing her hand. Mrs. Cathy Granger blushed lightly and thanked him. The two men shook hands and then Draco led them to the dining room where dinner was to be served. Once everyone was seated, Draco allowing Hermione's father to sit at the head of the long table fit for ten people, salads were placed in front of them by house elves. Light conversation was had all through dinner and desert and when everyone was all filled up Hermione spoke up.

"Well, mum, dad, there's a reason Draco and I asked you to come here this evening." Hermione said cautiously. "You see, Draco and I are engaged."

Silence followed and as Hermione looked at the three other people sitting at the table she saw they were all smiling. Finally after a minute or so Draco burst out laughing soon followed by both Hermione's parents. "Now what's so funny?" Hermione asked getting aggravated.

"Oh Hermione, dear, we already know." Cathy told her.

"You didn't actually think I'd propose to you without your loving parents' consent did you?" Draco asked with a smile. Hermione hit him aside the head and he glared at her playfully.

"You're so mean! But so romantic." Hermione said with a smile. She kissed him lightly and then turned back to her parents. "So you've known all along?"

"Yes. Draco here came to us during Christmas holidays and asked for our permission to ask you to be his bride. Let me tell you his appearance almost made me say no but then he explained everything and I said yes." Mr. Granger said happily. "His appearance still puts me on edge though… really, black and red tips spikes? And with such fair hair! It's just scary."

Draco just laughed and sat back. He was enjoying this immensely.

"Your father's right on that one. He gave me a right fright with how tall he is as well! Just the fact that he was towering over me scared the living day lights out of me! How tall did you say you are?" Cathy said.

"Seven foot two, ma'am, and I know my appearance is rather shocking but you must remember what I said before. I have a mixture of vampire and veela in me causing this to be so." Draco replied politely. "Now shall we make our way to the sitting room?" The other three nodded and they went to the sitting room. Once there they sat down on two white sofas and talked until 9:00. After Hermione's parents left the couple sighed and made their way to bed.

"Good night, love." Draco said softly, kissing Hermione lightly on the lips.

"I love you" Hermione replied.

"And I you…"
