Chap 2: Breaking the News
Chap. 2 summary : Hermione and Draco break the news of their engagement to the Weasleys...
"Hi, Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley, said pushing herself from the fireplace, followed by Mr. Weasley with presents. Mrs. Weasley hugged her and Mr. Weasley excitedly asked her.
" So are you parents coming to? Are they brining any muggle appliances?" Mr. Wealsey asked.
"Hermione, dear. I brought some presents. Where do you want us to put them?" Mrs. Weasley asked, inspecting the house around her. This was the first time; she and any of the Weasleys had been to the house. Mrs. Weasley, even though she won't show it, disapproves of Draco and Hermione being together. She always hoped for Hermione and Ron, and Harry and Ginny. But sadly in her case, her hopes were crushed when Ron ended up with Luna and Ginny with Blaise. Mr. Weasley, wasn't particularly happy of their choices either, but was happy that his children were happy.
"Umm…no my parents didn't come, Mr. Weasley. And the Christmas tree is down the hall on your left and then you take another right, and then it's the room on the left side of the hallway." But Hermione ended up showing her, when Mrs. Weasley ended up in the bathroom.
"Ahh...we really hadn't had the time to decorate, you see." Hermione said, looking at Mrs. Weasley's expression, while she was looking at the bare tree. Just then they heard voices coming from the living room.
"I hope this is the right place."
"I'm sure it is…"
"I'm not sure."
"Then look at the name on the parchment, Ronald."
"RON!" Hermione said as she saw him look up.
"Hey, 'Mione. I wasn't sure this was the right house…."
"Hi, Luna." Hermione said to Luna, as she took their jackets.
"Hi, Hermione. Still working as an auror, are you?" Luna (A/N: I loved her line in HBP! LMAO ) , askedsuspiciously. Mrs. Weasley, rolled her eyes and sighed.
Harry then appeared, before Hermione could answer. Thank God Harry came right on time. Hermione thought and smiled when she saw Harry.
"Hey, Harry!" She jumped into his arms.
"Whoa, Hermione. Slow down there. Everything's fine. Just a few bruises and scars, nothing serious."
"After, I heard about that attack, I was so worried. You should have written me!" Hermione said.
"Exactly, that's my point. I didn't want to worry you." He said and smirked at her. She then ruffled his hair, but then there was another noise.
"Bloody hell, Fred!"
"Ow! Get off my foot!"
There arrived, George and Fred Weasley, looking mischievous as ever. They both had Dragon skin suits. They grown slightly taller, then the last she saw them. Their shop in Diagon Alley was growing and blooming in good business.
"Hermione, old girl!" Fred exclaimed coming to her.
"Yes, dear. You should tell us, how everything's been." George said, making in front of his mom.
"Everything's been fine. Nothing's changed." She said, turning shyly away from them.
"Not from what we can see." George said following her, Hermione blushed a deep scarlet.
"George!" Mrs. Weasley said and hit him on the side of his head.
"Ow….mum. I met the house!"
"Are you still with that bouncing ferret?" Fred asked but was answered by a voice.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, she is." Said a voice behind them.
Everyone turned around to face Draco, who was leaning against the hallway door.
"Sadly yes, we can tell." George answered. Everyone then quieted down.
"Dinner must be ready…." Hermione said cheerfully. All of them then went to the dining room, but was interrupted by a cheerful sound.
"We're here!" Ginny said, while helping Blaise carry presents.
"Ginny, honey!" Mrs. Weasley went to her only daughter. "How's everything been? Blaise and you doing well….?"
After all the greetings were done, everyone went to the dining room. Which was an experience itself, the dining room was quiet. No one spoke, except with all the stuff that was happening at the Ministry and how many Death eaters they caught, which kind of made Draco uncomfortable mostly due to the fact that half his family were the Death Eaters that were getting caught. After dinner was finished, Hermione decided to makethe announcement.
"Ahem, ahem, everyone….." Hermione began; she then stood up with Draco. "We have an announcement."
"You're knocked-up!" Fred exclaimed, while George broke into laughter.
"Oh Hermione, dear, I thought you were smarter then that!" Mrs. Weasley said.
"I knew Malfoy would do something like this!" Harry said.
"No-"
"Well, congrats 'Mione." Ginny said, while Mrs. Weasley looked at Ginny with a shocked look.
"How could you encourage her! I mean she is not even married!"
"Well, darling neither were we when you got preganet withBill ( A/N : I know Molly and Arthur were married before they had kids, but I'd thought it would be funny :D ) …." Mr. Weasley said, while Mrs. Weasley looked at him
Ron's eye nearly poped out when he heard this. "You guys weren't married when you became preganet with Bill….?"
Mrs. Weasley tried to explain. "Well, I was pregnant while we were getting married, but he was born after a couple of months after our wedding, you see…."
" So much for Mom being a saint." Fred joked to George.
"Well, this certainly turned out the way I wanted it to…." Hermione said to Draco, she then tried to get the attention of the arguing people at the dinner table.
"Ummm…..I and Draco are engaged!" Hermione said with a smile but soon turned to a frown when she saw the shocked looks on everyone's face.
"We didn't think you were really getting married."
"I thought this was only a phrase…."
"Congrats, Draco and Hermione."
"It really is true…"
After that everyone ate their dinner in silence. So much for the happiness for our engagement Hermione thought as she looked down at her dinner.
"Well Hermione thank you for the dinner. It was truly wonderful." Mrs. Weasley said kissing on her cheek. Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley then left through the fireplace, the last of their guest. Ginny and Blaise decided to stick around a little longer.
"You know, Blaise. I'm wondering….why is it that the Weasels like you better then me?" Draco asked as he walked around the house.
"Well, calling them 'Weasels' doesn't exactly make them happy. Second, my family and I haven't been tormenting the Weasleys for years. Sure, we said our peace, but unlike your family. I haven't been calling them 'poor' or getting into fights with them in Bookstores!" Draco then turned around to his friend.
"Well, it's not like there important to Hermione…." Draco said.
"What do you mean by ''it's not like there important to Hermione….?' They are her life, family; she has known them for over 10 years…..she would die for them. If you want to marry Hermione, you best be prepared for to do someass kissing till death do you part. And I don't mean Hermione's ass." Blaise said.
This thought left Draco with a less-then-happy feeling.
"You know, Ginny. Do you think your mom is still gonna come to the wedding. I mean, because she did take the new of me and Draco being engaged quiet hard." Hermione said, while taking Ginny to her library.
"I don't think she took it that hard."
"She said, 'I thought this was only a phrase…'! Do you need anymore proof?" Ginny then sat down the near the fire.
" You thought she took your engagement hard? She fainted when we told her about ours!"
" Hahaha…she's didn't!"
" You best to believe she did."
" I know…but I'm still worried if she doesn't come. She's family…I wouldn't want her or any of your family to come."
"I know my mom. She loves you like your one of her daughters. Plus, she could never deny a wedding. It's what she lives for." Ginny said with a wink. "Did you tell your parents that you're engaged?"
Hermione looked down. "No…..I don't know how to tell them."
"Well, your gonna have to say something sooner or later." Ginny reminded her.
"Yeah….I know."
If, Hermione thought the Weasleys were hard…..she had no idea what would happen once she told her parents and Draco's parents.
