Chap. 3: Meet the Parents

Chap. 3 summary : Hermione meets Narcissa Malfoy...with awful results. Draco and Hermione then go to visit her family.

"So, today is the big day. We meet your mum." Hermione said as she fixed herself in the mirror. She decided to wear her robes, today. To look respectable for the pureblood witch; Hermione knew it was gonna take some convincing to make Narcissa Malfoy, accept the fact that her son loved the muggle born, Hermione Granger, but to Draco it was just something his mother was going to have to accept.

Draco and Hermione then apparated ( A/N :I hope I spell this write ) to the Malfoy Manor. Hermione then took one look at the surrounding around her. No wonder Draco was cold….look at the house he grew up in. The house was dark, no lightening in the house. Many of the items were dusty, there were portraits of Draco's family, but hardly any of them were smiling.

"Mum! I've made it…" Draco yelled, while walking into the house.

Hermione then turned to Draco. "You did tell her about 'us', didn't you?" Hermione asked Draco with a weak smile.

" Not exactly….." Just on time, Narcissa came around the corner. Her blonde hair down all the way to her length, her face bright and she was smiling (the very few times she did this in public), she was in her robes, which was decorated with green stitching.

" Draco, darling…" Narcissa's smile vanished once she saw who her son was with.

"Mother!" He said and kissed her cheek. But Narcissa was too occupied to return the favor, instead she stared at Hermione. Hermione then looked away.

"What is she doing here?" Narcissa said, pointing to Hermione. The brightness that Narcissa had, left at that moment.

"Maybe we should have tea, first." Draco said leading his mother to the kitchen and beckoning Hermione to come.

After about 10 minutes of explaining their situation to Narcissa; her eyes were wide as she drank her tea. She finally spoke.

"You two are trying to tell me that my pureblood son, Draco Malfoy was dating Hermione Granger and now is trying to tell me that he is MARRYING her!"

I guess she is taking it well. Hermione thought continuing to drink her tea.

"Mother, calm down…." Draco trying to soothe Narcissa but she stood up and slammed her fists down on the table.

"I will NOT calm down. I mean, we had your future planned out….you was going to marry Pansy Parkinson…and-and….but you ruined it by becoming engaged to this….this" Narcissa pointed at Hermione. "MUDBLOOD!"

"MOTHER!" Draco roared and stood up; but Narcissa didn't back down. " I am not going to marry that lunatic you call a pureblood, Pansy Parkinson."

"I love you Draco. But this 'thing' you might have for her, is going to end NOW!" Hermione couldn't take it anymore. Hermione then stood up to the towering blonde.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Malfoy! But I love Draco, and I'll be damn if I'm gonna let you ruin our relationship. I may not have the 'pureblood' thing down, but I am a good person once you get to know me! Now, I have put up with your insults for far to long. Goodbye!" Hermione left the kitchen on the verge of tears. The last she heard was Draco and his mother arguing.

Hermione jump on the bed, and sobbed into her pillow. She didn't feel like telling anyone else of their engagement, but just calling it off. She cried into her pillow. All of a sudden, she felt a hand on her back, moving in a circular motion. The hand then tucked a strand of hair in her face behind her ear.

"Draco…." He then lay beside her, spooning with her.

"I'm sorry about my mother. I told her she is going to have to accept the fact that I'm marrying the girl I love or she could disown her son." Draco whispered in her ear.

"She insulted me…" Normally this wouldn't have bothered Hermione. But due to the fact that this was her future mother-in-law, it was kind of a low blow. Hermione started to sob again.

"Sshhh…don't think about her." He started to entwine his hand with hers.

"Maybe we should cancel the wedding. I mean...nothing is turning out the way we want it to." She whispered to him.

"No! We're not going to cancel the wedding. What happened to the confident Hermione? My Hermione, who didn't care what other people think! Don't tell me she went hiding." He said playfully. She chuckled through her sobs, and he held her tighter. Why can't everything be perfect? Hermione asked herself.

"So, now I get to meet your family." Draco said fixing himself in front of the mirror, admiring himself….like usually.

"Yeah, well I have to tell you a few things." Draco looked at her suddenly.

"Okay, tell me."

"Well, for one thing. My grandmother is living with them….and she's from France. It's kind of hard understanding her….and beware, she's honest. My parents broke the news to her that I'm a witch. So she is kind of adjusting to the idea. I also informed them that we will be visiting, so they expect us. But we are going to travel the muggle way, is that okay?" Hermione asked, while adjusting his tie.

"Sure."

"Hermione, honey! Your home! John! Hermione's home!" Hermione's mother, Natalie, opened the door. Her hair (which as bushy like Hermione's but a lighter brown), was in a messy bun, while her skirt was black which made her red sweater stand out more.

"Hi, Mum!" Hermione said hugging her mother, and walking to the house, while Draco stayed behind. Hermione then whispered, "Come on."

"How's everyone?" Hermione asked taking off her jacket.

"Everyone's fine. I mean, your grandmother" Natalie rolled her eyes. "Is as troublesome as ever. The other day, we found her sneaking out to meet someone. She won't tell us though-Ahh this must be Draco Malfoy, the man who has managed to get my daughter from out of the books." Natalie then went to hug Draco, while he stood still for a moment, unexpected of the way Natalie greeted him.

Natalie then noticed how stiff he was, and whispered to her daughter. "Not a very warm person, is he?" Hermione smiled.

"Where's dad?" Natalie then sighed.

"He's downstairs in the basement. He's been spending the last few days down there, apparently trying to fix the toaster he broke. Honestly, the man thinks he's Superman….he's can fix anything-"Hermione then smelled something burning.

"What's that smell?"

" Oi! It's my turkey! Oh no!" Natalie then ran to the kitchen which was filled with smoke.

"Your mom….is a very friend woman." Draco said, sitting down on the couch and looking at the surroundings. The house was much warmer then where he grew up; The Malfoy Manor. It was filled with bright colors and now was decorated all over with Green and Red. The fire was warm, and in the background was played an old Christmas Tune. The house wasn't exactly clean like a museum but nor was it dirty...it was homey.

"I know….let me go check on her." Hermione then went into the kitchen. The basement door suddenly opened, out came the man who appeared to be Hermione's father. He was quite stocky, but not chubby. He had dark brown hair, which seemed to go with his tan complexion. He had a mustache, which made him look older then he was. His face had grease stains all over it and he was carrying a wrench in one hand.

"Who are you?" He asked, while coming at Draco with a wrench in his hand.

" I-am-er-I-um." Was all Draco muttered, before the man was stopped by Hermione's yell.

"DAD!" She went to her dad and jumped on him. She planted kisses all over his face, not caring that some of the grease was getting on her face.

"Mionewomys, I'm getting you all dirty." Hermione then let go, while her father admired her. "Your getting more beautiful each time, I see you." Hermione blushed, while Natalie shot him a dirty look.

"Not that we can say the same to you. I can't believe that even had the audacity to show up like this. Go up stairs and take a shower! You're embarrassing me." John looked down and then at Hermione.

"I'll be right back." John then went upstairs. Natalie then sat down the tea on the coffee table.

"Thank you, Mrs. Granger." Draco said as he took a sip from the tea.

"Oh no, call me Nat. Everyone else does. You know, Draco, it's so wonderful-"Then a sudden a crash came from upstairs.

"Oh no….I'll be right back." Natalie then rushed up stairs to see what the problem was. While Draco and Hermione stayed down stairs.

"Your father is slightly scary." Draco mentioned to her.

"Oh no, he's always like that towards strangers." Hermione said as though it was nothing important. Up stairs, though muffled, you could still make out what Natalie was yelling about.

"How many times do we have to tell you? No sneaking out! Hermione is downstairs…and you decide to pull something like this?"

"Don't speak to me like thaz Natalie! I am your mon mere! I 'ave my reasons for going out."

"Why don't you listen to me…."

"You'll get to meet my grandmother….she is quite a woman." Hermione said as she and Draco. 5 minutes later, Natalie came down with an older woman, who appeared to be Hermione's grandmother. She was short, her slightly graying chestnut hair in a tight bun in the back of her head. Hermione had her eyes, but now they looked as though they were filled with fury. She walked with her head held high; she had an air of elegance about her, she was confident, no doubt about that, but she also had an earthy feel to her. She was in a black sweater, and black pants. She arched her dark eyebrow towards Draco and looked at Natalie. Her full lips in a pout.

"Mother, this is Draco, Hermione's boyfriend." Natalie said while pushing her mother to shake Draco's hand.

"Hello, I'm 'Mione's grandmere, Rebecca DuMaurier." She shook his hand, and smiled slightly, even though it seemed force. Her french accent very apparent.

"Hi, I'm Draco Malfoy." The phone then rang and Natalie went to get it. Draco gave Hermione a puzzling look and looked around.

"Telephone." She whispered.

Grandmere considerably lightened up once Natalie left the room and went to Hermione.

"Oh, Dear Hermione. Itz has been so long. 'ast time I'vz seen you, you were little girlz with big puffy hair, and theze big brown eyes. You have grown up a bit. Especially in thz chest area!" Rebecca said while laughing and looking at Hermione, who was blushing harder then ever. Rebecca then whispered in her ear. "You have inheritzed those from me." She then winked.

" Grandmere!"

" I waz quite the young woman." Grandmere then looked towards the kitchen and then looked at Hermione and whispered. " Yoz must get me out of here. That womanz is driving me crazy." They laughed but then there was an awkward silence but was broke when Grandmere said, "You are a witch?" She asked.

"Yeah." Hermione said, not knowing what to expect from her Grandmere.

" Iz he one to?" Grandmere asked, looking at him.

"Yes." He asked for her.

"Well….thiz is quite ze surprise. I mean….we hadz lotz of people in our familyz. But never a witch, I guess there'z a first time for everything." Hermione then grabbed her Grandmere and hugged her.

"Oh, Grandmere, you have no idea how much this means to me….I mean you accepting me as I am."

" Why wouldn'z I accepz you? Yourz my granddaughter….I'll love you even if you were a murdezez." Natalie then came bursting through the living room.

"Sabrina iscoming over!" Grandmere's happy mood then changed once Natalie announced Sabrina was coming over.

" Thaz little brat iz coming over?"

Natalie then looked at her mom with a shocked expression. "How could you say that? She's your granddaughter!"

Rebecca shook it off like it was nothing. " At least I'm beinz honest. She thinzs she Ms. Perfect." Rebecca's voice then went high pitch. "'Looz at my grades! I can readz the page!'" Draco stifled a laugh as Natalie narrowed her eyes. " I alwazs believed that 'Mione waz the smart one and apparentlz also the bewitchinz one!"

" What did I miss?" John said as he came downstairs. He was considerably cleaner; he was fixing his shirt and collar. His hair brushed back.

" Yourz brain. It went runninz out thz door. Maybe yoz could 'atch it, if you go." John merely smiled.

"I always loved your use of sarcasm, 'Becca. I must say, it's your best trait." Rebecca then scowled.

"And fizing theze appliances isn't." Rebecca said as she pointed towards the toaster, which still wasn't working.

"At least someone is trying!"

"Whaz 're yoz applying?"

"I'm applying that-"

"AS I was saying….Sabrina is-" The doorbell rang. "That must be her."

Natalie opened the door to see a young girl, of 15 years, standing there. Her cream colored cheeks were now rosy from the snow. She was in black slacks and her shirt was covered by a brown, heavy jacket. She took her hat, which revealed black hair. Her blue eyes glowed, once she saw Hermione.

"Sabrina!" Hermione yelled as she went to hug her cousin.

"'Mione!" They both looked at each other. Admiring each other, "Oh my god, Sabrina. The last time I saw you. You were that little girl that use to follow me around. No-now you're grown!" Sabrina then noticed Draco who was next to Hermione.

"Well, well, well….who is this?" Hermione blushed.

"Oh, this is Draco Malfoy... my boyfriend. Draco, this is my cousin, Sabrina." Sabrina took one look at him.

"Well, I must say Hermione. You made one hell of a choice." Sabrina said still staring at him.

"Oh for Godz sakez, don't yoz start drooling all overz Hermione's boyfriend." Rebecca said; rolling her eyes.

"Nice to see you to, Grandma." Sabrina said knowing her Grandmother hated be called 'grandma' and not 'grandmere.'

" It'z grandmere." Rebecca spitted out.

"Dinner's ready!" Natalie said as she called from the kitchen. All of them went to the kitchen.

While eating burnt turkey, they talked about what they missed over the years, and how everyone was growing up and going to different schools. Sabrina mentioned how she was doing well in school and how she got the highest in her class. Draco was about to mention that Hermione graduated at the top of her class from Hogwarts, but was quieted when Hermione kicked him, giving him a warning look. John said how he was fixing stuff around the house, and he was becoming the real 'handyman.' Natalie then smiled, and kissed her husband in a playful way, while Rebecca rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Well, I and Draco have an announcement to make….." Hermione said as she grabbed Draco's hand. " we're engaged!" She said while she held out her hand, showing her engagement ring to everyone.

" Wellz izn't thiz the surprise!" Rebecca clapped and said while looking at the ring. "I must say, he can pick out thz ring!"

"Wow, 'Mione. I can't believe you're engaged! This is soo cool. You're going to have to make me a bridesmaid you know…"

Natalie's eye filled with tears. "Oh my baby girl is growing up." She smiled through her tears and hugged Hermione. While John sat there dumfounded, his face stern.

"Dad? Aren't you happy?" Hermione asked, as all the woman at the table took turns planning Hermione's wedding.

"Happy? Why would I be happy? I only meet this man….only once! I don't even get to know him and you tell me that he's going to me son-in-law. I mean come on!" He then got up, grabbed his jacket from the closet and left the room.

" Zhanks Godz, thaz mans left. I told you Natalie to marry Pierre, but noo you wanted to mazzy thaz man. Now he knows how I felt when you two got engaged and didn't ask us for permission!" Rebecca then got up. " Draco, 'Mione. Congratulationz." She walked out and went upstairs. Natalie then looked around the table.

"I'll talk to your dad." She said and went outside. Sabrina was then left at the table.

"Well…..I'm happy for you guys." Sabrina then looked at the time. "It's getting late; well I'll tell my mom the news. Anyway good night."Sabrinathen hugged Hermione and Draco. " Also tell Unlce Johnny and Auntie Nat I said goodnight!"

" Alright." Hermione called as she cleared the dinner table.

"Well, I guess they took it well…..way better then how my mum took it." Draco said as he and Hermione collapsed on the couch next to each other after clearing the table, waiting for her dad and mom to come back inside.

" One thing is for sure, I don't know how muggles can live without magic. I mean, it's so exhausting...clearing the table. I mean if they were magical they could just get a house el-" Draco noticed the look on Hermione's face. " They could have just used magic or something."

" Yeah, well you get use to it."

"So tell me why does your grandmere hate your dad." Draco asked twirling a piece of her hair.

"Ha…well apparently, my mom was suppose to marry Pierre, this handsome fellow. Who knew each other since they were kids, it was all arranged. But then my mum went to college here in England, and fell in love with my dad, John. My grandmother didn't like my dad, which is still apparent today. She says it was the worst thing my mum has done. So basically it's just your average 'Romeo and Juliet' love story except they have to live with Lady Capulet." Hermione added with a laugh.

"But why is your grandmere living with your mum?"

"Well, I'm assuming after my grandpere died, mum thought it would be in her best interest if she stayed here. As you could see, she hates it. I don't know she doesn't like Sabrina though-" The door opened, and there stood John and Natalie standing there.

"Come on, you guys. Let's have some tea in the kitchen." Natalie, John, Draco and Hermione all sat around the table, staring at each other waiting for the other to speak. It took a while and some convincing to get John to get use to the idea. But after he heard his daughter speak so passionately about how much she loved Draco, he knew it was right…..but he had only one request. 'Take care of my Mionewomys.'

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THEY ALL ACTUALLY ACCEPTED US!" Hermione yelled walking in the abandon London Street. She was so happy she could scream it to the world. Even though his mother couldn't accept, at least her parents did. Draco then held Hermione close to him.

"You know something?" Draco asked Hermione as the snow started to fall.

"What?" She asked smiling and looking into his eyes.

"I love you." Her smile became bigger and they kissed. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and his hands went to her waist. She smiled during their kiss.

"I don't ever want this feeling to end…."

"It won't." He whispered.
