Chapter 11
The New Manor
By the time Christmas rolled around, Ivy and Blaise were perfectly ready to tie the knot and Draco and I were getting there.
We had started to design the invitations, already had flowers agreed upon (roses, lilies, white love-in-a-mist and baby's breath and baby's tears.), Draco had gotten some elf made rosé for the wedding night and had booked a honeymoon somewhere he wouldn't tell me. He decided to go Edward Cullen on me and surprise me where we would be sleeping our first night as husband and wife. (Sleeping...yeah, sure, right!).
Narcissa insisted that I stayed at least one night with her, Draco and Mel for Christmas, because apparently, Malfoy family tradition stated that a new Malfoy bride had to be showed off to the rest of the society in the most fitting way…the Malfoy Christmas party.
So, Harry, being the typical protective older brother, decided to come with, so I would feel more comfortable.
So, Ginny was going to the Burrow, Ron and Hermione were going to find Hermione's parents in Australia, Ivy was going to Godric's Hollow, Blaise was going to visit family in Italy and Harry and I were going to Malfoy Manor with Draco and Mel.
We were in Hogsmeade Station, getting ready to leave Hogwarts for Skinner knew what was going to happen.
"I still fail to see why I'm stuck going." Harry muttered.
"Harry!" I sighed, shaking my head. "You said you'd come to New York for our consultation with Buddy, and it's important that you and Narcissa get along! She will be our mother-in-law after the wedding!"
"Han, she's the wife of a man that tried to rape, torture and murder you." Harry said looking serious. "She can't be any worse than that!"
Harry and I shared a laugh and hugged. "Oh, Harry, I love you." I said.
"I love you, too, Mei-Mei." Harry laughed.
"I love Dracy!" Mel giggled.
We all burst out laughing as Mel squeezed Draco around the neck.
"I love you, too, Mel." Draco laughed, ruffling Mel's hair. "Han, what are you wearing for the party?" Draco asked.
I shrugged. "I dunno. What should I wear?"
"Something that is conservative, yet sexy to satisfy the future groom's wild desires." Draco smirked.
"OI!" Harry hollered "Keep it PG!"
"We are! I wasn't talking about pinning her against the bed and -" Draco started.
"DRACO!" I hissed. "Not with a first year in the compartment or my brother. Anyways, I meant a specific colour."
"Something that stands out, but not bright. Most guests to Malfoy parties tend to wear dark blues and blacks. Maybe something green."
"Done!" I said, rubbing my hands together. "I have the perfect dress."
Draco smirked. "Better have loads of cleavage showing."
"Malfoy!" Harry said warningly. "Hannah is still a young lady!"
"Oh, I know that." Draco chuckled.
"Boys!" I said. "Enough." I ordered, cuddling into Draco.
"Yes, Harley." the boys said together as Draco wrapped an arm around me as I leafed through my wedding magazine.
I squealed. "Dracy!" I said, looking up at him. "I think I found something I want!"
"What?" Draco asked, looking down at the magazine I was leafing through.
"Would you wear a matching wedding band?" I asked, looking up at him with hopeful eyes.
"Whoa." Draco said, finding the picture of the wedding bands I was pointing at.
They were sterling silver, and together they created a platinum heart, a diamond at the end of the curl of each ring,
"They're so cute!" I said. "Don't you agree, Ge-Ge?" I asked, showing Harry the picture.
Harry snickered.
"Shut up! It's not funny!" I said, yanking the magazine back, pouting.
"I think they're amazing." Draco assured me, kissing my temple. "You have a good eye."
"Whipped!" Harry coughed.
"Shut up!" Draco growled as I looked up at him. "Do you like those?" he asked me.
I nodded.
"That's what she said!" Ron shouted in passing.
"PISS OFF, WEASLEY!" Draco shouted at him. "We're talking wedding jewels!"
"No, you were talking Malfoy jewels." Ron said, poking his head in.
"Ron!" I groaned. "we agreed, no sex on the Hogwarts Express, come on, I'm not stupid."
"No, you'd just wind up fucking him senseless at the Manor." Ron said, dragging Hermione and Ginny into the compartment.
"What I do to my husband to be in private is none of your business!" I pointed out.
Draco smirked and Ron gagged. "Too much sex talk."
"Done let's change the subject." I said. "How about Blaise and Ivy?"
"What about them?" Hermione asked.
"They're getting married in less than a week, Hermione!" Harry said. "This is exciting. Did you lot get your dresses yet?"
"Yep!" I said. "Ironically, Ivy's giving into English tradition and having me wear a different dress from the bridesmaids, yet, she'll be having them wear red with her. I'm the only one wearing silver." I laughed.
"Sucks to be you." Draco smirked. "Blaise agreed that we were all wearing black."
"You suck." I muttered.
"No, that's you." Draco smirked.
"HEY!" Ginny shouted. "WE AGREED NO SEX TALK!"
"Sorry." Draco muttered.
"What are we yelling about?" Ivy asked, coming in with Blaise in tow.
"Malfoy made an innuendo and we agreed to keep the conversation PG." Hermione said.
"She set me up for it, though!" Draco whined, pointing to me.
"I said you sucked, you could have been mature and not taken the bait!" I said. "I'm the victim, here!"
"Malfoy!" Ivy groaned. "Please, do us a favour, don't make innuendos at the wedding."
"If he does, he'll get his ass kicked." Blaise and I said together.
"Thanks, mate, thanks, love, love you both too." Draco said, rolling his eyes.
"Hey, I'm going to make Ivy blush so hard with my speech, but hey, it's clean." I pointed out.
"Oh, fuck." Ivy muttered.
I shot Draco a look and he stayed silent as I bought candy for everyone.
"Think, Ivy, this will be the last time you ride this train as a single woman. Come the new year, you'll be Mrs Zabini." Harry said.
"Still time to back out, Duff," Draco said. "Blaise snores."
"So does Ivy, Blaise." I said, Draco and I bursting out laughing.
"SHUT UP, YOU TWO!" Ivy and Blaise shouted together.
Draco and I continued to piss ourselves laughing, clutching each other.
"I'll love you snore or not." Blaise said, kissing Ivy's temple.
"Oh, Blaise-ikins!" Ivy kissed Blaise.
Draco and I snorted and I fell to the floor laughing. "BLAISE-IKINS!?" we roared together.
"This coming from Spitfire and Dracykins?" Ivy asked.
"And Mr. J. and Sugar Quill?" Blaise asked, cocking an eyebrow.
Draco and I were still laughing. "Ok, ok, ok, that's going in the speech!" Draco announced.
"Wait…" Blaise said slowly, grabbing Draco. "YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN YOUR SPEECH YET!?"
"Sorry, I've been busy planning my wedding." Draco said, eyes wide. "I have an introduction written."
"Draco!" I groaned. "You have to finish it, or do you intend to wing it at your best mate's wedding?" I asked.
"Maybe." Draco shrugged.
"Draco!" I shouted. "When we get to the Manor, you had best march your sorry ass to your room and get to work on that speech! I will not have you make a fool of yourself in front of your best mate's family and friends!"
"She's practicing for the rest of your life!" Blaise laughed. "She's going to be the irritatingly naggy wife!"
"Shut up, Blaise!" Draco growled, wrapping an arm around me. "Nag or not, she'll still be my wife and I'll still love her to death."
I grinned, curling into him and falling asleep.
…
Draco shook my shoulder gently a few hours later.
"Come on, sweetheart, we're here."
I groaned, stirring. "Ok, I'm up." I muttered sleepily, standing up.
Draco smirked and grabbed me, lifting me up over his shoulder and carrying me out as his elves went to grab our stuff.
"Be careful with her trunk! That's my fiancée's clothes!" Draco ordered before hopping down off the train.
"Thanks, Malfoy!" Harry said, smacking Draco upside the head.
"Draco!" Narcissa said behind me.
"Hi, Mother!" Draco took one hand off my back to hug his mother.
"Draco Lucius, why can I only see Hannah's back end?" Narcissa asked.
"Hi, Narcissa!" I called behind me. "Draco can you please turn me around so I can greet your mother properly?" I pleaded.
Draco huffed and turned around so I could see Narcissa's face.
"Hi, Narcissa!" I said, giving an extremely awkward hug to my future mother-in-law.
"Hello, Hannah, dear." Narcissa said. "Draco Lucius, your fiancée does not require a wheelchair, you may put her down."
Draco groaned and put me down.
"Mummy!" Mel screamed, running to hug Narcissa's legs.
"Hello, Melody!" Narcissa hoisted Mel up as the elves Disapparated with Draco's, Harry's and my trunks.
"Are we going to the Manor now?" Mel asked.
"Actually, no." Narcissa said. "We have to show Draco and Hannah their wedding gift first."
Draco and I looked confusedly at each other. "Our wedding's not until June, Mother." Draco said, raising an eyebrow.
"I know." Narcissa said, taking hold of Draco's arm, who in turn grabbed mine, and in turn I grabbed Harry's before we Disapparated.
…
When we were able to breathe and were back on our feet it took me two seconds before I cussed.
"Holy Skinner!"
It wasn't the Malfoy Manor I was tortured in and went Harley Quinn on Snake Faced Little Shits' asses in front of me.
In front of me was a Manor that could befit the fucking royals! It was large, white with ivy growing halfway up. There was shrubs forming a circle in the middle of the walkway where a fountain rested.
"Dude…if there is cable TV and WiFi in there I think I've found bloody paradise." I said.
"What if there was that…and a pool, hot tub, sauna and…basketball court?" Narcissa asked.
"Am I dead?" I asked. "Like seriously, am I dead?"
"No!" Draco and Harry said together.
"Than that would be my personal heaven on earth!" I said, taking in the house. "Hey, I can see a pool on the turret!" I said excitedly.
"Big Manor in front of the child and the first thing she points out is the pool." Draco laughed, shaking his head as I looked at the gates.
"Do they talk?" I asked, turning to Narcissa.
"Yes." Narcissa said, shaking her head. "However, it's merely a security system."
I grinned and cleared my throat, jumping back when the fence spoke.
"State your business!"
Draco caught me. "Narcissa Malfoy to bequeath the house to the future Mr and Mrs Malfoy."
I giggled, turning bright pink. "Sorry, new name…still getting used to it." I muttered.
"We have a while for that, Hannah." Harry said, rolling his eyes as the gate opened.
"Come on." Narcissa said, leading Draco, Harry and I in as Mel hummed, looking around as I took in the grounds.
"Holy fountain." I said, taking a look at it.
It was huge, white marble with three pools going up. The base pool was filled with koi fish and water was flowing through the eyes of fawns. And at the top of the fountain stood a fawn with a snake on her back.
"I like this." I said, gesturing to the fountain with an evil plan brewing.
"Yeah, I like it, too." Draco said as I snuck up on him from behind, shushing Narcissa before pushing Draco into the fountain.
Draco screamed and fell into the water, coming out soaking wet as Harry, Narcissa, Mel and I burst out laughing.
"Dracy!" I said, helping him out. "You're all wet!"
Draco glared and dragged me into the fountain with him, splashing me.
"Bitch!" I screamed, shivering from the chill of the water.
"Karma, my dear darling beloved." Draco smirked, splashing me full in the face.
"MY HAIR!" I screamed, grabbing Draco and dunking him into the fountain as Harry laughed.
"GO HANNAH!" Harry cheered as Draco grabbed my wrists and stood up, holding me kicking and thrashing in the air.
"LET GO OF ME YOU CRAZY ASS!" I shouted, trying to get Draco to drop me.
Narcissa was kneeling over with laughter, Harry laughing with his arm around her at the sight of Draco and I play-wrestling.
Neither one of us were dunking each other, trying to drown each other, but we were getting each other soaked as we rolled around in the fountain.
I don't know how it happened, I don't know why…but eventually we wound up snogging in the fountain.
"Ok! OK!" Harry said, lifting me off of Draco, who now had lipstick all over his pleased, smirking face. "There is a little kid here, you two! Save it for the wedding night!"
I grinned as Draco got up, grabbing his arm and drying us both with my Necromancy, scrunching my nose up.
"Still cute when she does that." Draco said, kissing my temple as Narcissa let us into the foyer.
Draco stopped. "Oh, crap, I almost forgot!" Draco said, hoisting me up into his arms, bridal style.
I screamed. "DRACO!" I laughed, pounding on his chest. "PUT ME DOWN!"
"Now, Miss Potter," Draco smirked at me. "You were the one yelling at me about tradition while you were picking out a wedding dress, don't you know about the tradition of the groom carrying the bride over the threshold?"
"We're not married yet, genius." I said as Draco carried me in.
"Wow…" I said.
"Holy fuck!" Draco shouted.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy!" Narcissa said, looking to Draco furiously. "Watch your language around your little sister!"
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore!" Draco whined.
"Draco, I understand that, but your sister is in the vicinity, what you say in the marriage bed is completely your business, but you are not to swear in front of your elders and your sister, am I understood?!" Narcissa demanded.
"Yes, Mother." Draco said monotonously as I looked around.
It was brighter than the foyer of Malfoy Manor, the walls were beige with black trim, granted, not the brightest of colours, but what made it more hopeful were the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Two staircases lead to an upper floor, both cases clad in dark green and silver carpeting. Pillars lead from the doorway to the staircases cased the chandeliers, sending a dreamy glow through the hallway. Suits of armour were in the corners by the door.
"Good place to fuck when Mother leaves." Draco muttered, making me giggle as Narcissa lead us upstairs.
The upstairs was surprisingly roomy, an organ in the center of an open spaced room with a wall of pure window, a piano in the corner.
"My organ!" Draco shouted like a schoolboy confronted with his favourite toy.
"Oh, Lord. I'm marrying a child!" I laughed as Draco ran to his beloved organ and sitting on the bench.
"You date a guy for four years and are engaged for four months and you think you know him." I said, nodding to Draco, who was now playing Phantom of the Opera on his organ.
Harry laughed, wrapping an arm around him. "Hey, at least it's musical, not that he wants you as the star in an orgy."
"Yeah, that helps me relax over planning my wedding, thanks for that, Ge-Ge!" I said sarcastically, smacking him with the back of my hand.
"Right, sorry." Harry muttered as Draco stood up and squeezed Narcissa around the middle.
"How the hell did you get it out of the Manor?" Draco asked his mother.
"Lest you forget, Draco, we're not Muggles." Narcissa grinned as I ran my hands over the piano keys, looking around the bookshelves, the black leather chaise lounge.
"Holy Skinner." I muttered to myself, finding every book I had read and loved in the bookshelves. "Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Twilight, my Harlequin Romance novels?" I looked to Narcissa as Draco smirked.
"Draco tells me a lot." Narcissa said.
"How did Draco know about my Harlequin Romance novels?" I asked, looking to him.
"I was sort of nosy." Draco shrugged. "Found the one on your nightstand."
I rolled my eyes and laughed as Harry looked at me dumbfounded.
I smiled sheepishly at him as Narcissa opened a door.
Inside was a large bedroom decorated in green and silver, a large king sized four poster in the center of the bed. Draco and I turned to each other and looked to Harry.
"YOUR ROOM!" we said together, pushing Harry in.
"So he doesn't want to move out, no sex in that bed." I murmured in Draco's ear.
"Done." Draco muttered as Narcissa lead us downstairs.
"To satisfy Hannah's need for Muggle technology, here." Narcissa lead us into the open living room with a large restaurant sized kitchen.
"Holy crap!" I screamed, running into the living room and looking at the big screen.
"I am in heaven!" I said, spinning around as Draco burst out laughing.
I grabbed him and dragged him into the black recliner, crawling into his lap.
"What are you doing?" Mel asked.
"Breaking in the recliner!" Draco said as I cuddled into him.
"It's comfortable!" I said, tracing Draco's pecks. "The chair's nice, too!" I grinned at Draco. "You're so cooking for me!"
"Kiss the cook and we'll see." Draco smirked.
I rolled my eyes and kissed him.
Narcissa laughed. "Ok, you two. Wait until I leave to get cuddly." she said.
I sighed, standing up as Narcissa took us into the downstairs.
In the basement there was a large pool.
"Push me in, Hannah, you die!" Draco stated.
"Damn!" I muttered, looking around.
The basement was finished, a large pool separated by a wall, a hot tub in the back.
Draco and I smirked at each other as Narcissa moved on.
…
Finally, Mel had fallen asleep when Narcissa opened one more door.
"Your room." she grinned, lifting Mel up.
"Holy…" I said, gaping.
"Mother of…" Draco muttered.
"Skinner." Draco and I said together.
The bedroom was huge! It was a hotel suite in itself! There was a large king-size bed draped in green and silver bedding and green curtains. The floor was mahogany hardwood and there was a bay window with a bench off to the side, bookshelves adorning one wall, chaise lounges standing with another window.
The closet and bathroom were just like Draco's and mine at Hogwarts, except that the tub had a built in Jacuzzi.
Draco and I smirked. "Our room!" we said together.
"Mother, we love it!" Draco said, hoisting Narcissa up and hugging her again.
"Thanks." I said, hugging my future mother in law.
Narcissa grinned. "You're welcome." she said, ruffling my hair and kissing Draco's cheek. "I'd best take Mel to bed. You two behave and if I don't see you before Blaise and Ivy's wedding, I'll see you at the party." Narcissa kissed my forehead and carried Mel out of the room.
Draco and I smirked at each other when the door closed. "Our own Manor…" I grinned.
"Thank God there're extra rooms." Draco muttered. "I may not be able to keep my hands off you for long."
I giggled and smacked him. "Draco Lucius, no sex in this house until after the wedding." I told him.
"Why?" Draco whined.
"Because…" I said. "It'll make it more special."
Draco laughed. "So no more sex?" Draco asked.
"Now let's not talk crazy." I said. "We already had sex in Hogwarts, so we'll just have to wait until then."
Draco rolled his eyes. "Fine. Killjoy." he muttered.
"All right, then, Draco, how about we go downstairs and I cream you in basketball like the pretty boy you are? First to twenty one wins." I asked.
Draco raised his eyebrows at me. "All right…you're on" he said, taking his shirt off. "and that's Mr Pretty Boy to you."
"If you're gonna be my husband, I'll call you whatever the hell I please." I laughed, smirking at him.
Draco smirked. "Loser cooks breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"It's on." I said, racing to the basement and grabbing the basketball.
Draco was right on my tail, reaching in front of me to grab the ball as I swerved out of his grasp.
"Watch this, Pretty Boy, I'm taking you to the hole!" I said, racing to the basket and jumping, dunking the basket and grinning.
Draco was dumbfounded, gaping at me as I hopped down. "How the fuck…?"
"Did I forget to mention I was on the school basketball team when I was in Muggle school…all but one season when I had to recover from kidney surgery?" I asked with a grin, chest passing the ball to Draco.
Draco smirked. "Still going to kick your ass. And tomorrow, I expect an omelette waiting for me. I like peppers, feta cheese, truffles and beef tongue."
I laughed. "You can try. By the way, I like onion, mushrooms, salsa, jalapeno, bacon and a lot of marble cheese!"
…
I spun the basketball around on my finger twenty minutes later as Draco panted, hands on his legs.
"I'm done, I surrender." Draco panted.
I smirked. "Say it." I ordered, feeling proud that I had gotten Draco to this state.
"All right, all right, I give." Draco panted, coughing. "Hannah Lillian Isabella Marie Potter is a Goddess of Muggle sports and I, Draco Lucius Malfoy am powerless in her wake." Draco recited.
"Good boy." I said, handing him a bottle of water. "And I'm looking forward to my breakfast." I smirked, tossing my hair back. "Great, now I need a shower. Come on, race you back to our room!" I shouted, starting to sprint upstairs.
"You are a child!" Draco shouted, running after me.
"Child at heart!" I corrected, laughing as I slid through the hallways and into the bedroom. "HA! Winner and still champion!" I told Draco as I got ready for a shower.
…
I dried my hair with a flick of my wand fifteen minutes later and changing into a pair of track pants and a sports bra before brushing my hair quickly and hopping into bed.
I sighed. The bed was just as comfortable as the beds I had at Hogwarts.
Draco was already in bed, leafing through my magazine.
"Oi." I said, looking at the cover. "What the hell are you doing looking at wedding dresses?" I asked.
Draco laughed. "I was looking for a dress for Mel." Draco explained, handing me my magazine.
"Hey, if we're going to use green and midnight blue as our colours, why not give Mel a midnight blue dress? Promote her house?"
Draco smirked. "Yeah, I can see it." he muttered, wrapping an arm around me.
"Think about it." I said, cuddling into him. "When we go back to Hogwarts after Christmas, we won't be in this house again until -"
"We're husband and wife." Draco smirked, kissing my temple.
I grinned with him. "Who'd have thought, after all this time, after all we've been through, we're finally getting married?" I asked.
"My Mother, for one." Draco laughed. "Weasley and your brother seemed to have been making bets over when I was going to pop the question."
I grinned, holding him and resting my head over his heart.
"Hey…" Draco muttered, laughing.
"What?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"You're probably going to freak." Draco muttered.
"What?" I asked again.
"Mother installed a TV in here." Draco laughed, handing me a remote.
"Narcissa…" I laughed, taking it and turning on the TV. "Oh, Dracy! Eclipse is on!"
Draco rolled his eyes. "Fine. We'll watch it."
I beamed, curling into him and watching the movie.
I smiled at Draco every time he quoted Edward from the movie.
"What would Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise say should they hear that?" I asked him around the time Edward proposed.
"Call me a wuss for watching a chick flick. Fuck them. You should see the look on your face. That's enough incentive for me."
I sighed. Minus the vampire, Draco was my Edward in every possible way.
I grinned, blushing bright pink as Draco muttered "Hannah Potter, I promise to love you every moment of forever."
I sighed, falling asleep.
…
I woke up the next morning to the smell of eggs cooking.
It took me a while to realize where I was, and when I did, I laughed at myself as I got up, getting a bathrobe and going downstairs.
Harry was hogging the TV in the living room and Draco was cooking in the kitchen. I laughed, sneaking up behind him and standing on a chair to cover his eyes.
"Guess who?" I giggled.
Draco huffed. "Let me guess, are you a Slytherin?" Draco asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Do I hate your brother?" Draco asked again.
"Fuck you, too!" Harry shouted from the living room.
"No…" I said. "You disagree with my brother, don't we, Harry!?" I called to my brother.
"Whatever." Harry mumbled.
"All right…is there any sort of jewellery that indicates your marital status?" Draco asked.
I rolled my eyes. "No Skinner, Watson." I said.
"Good morning, Hannah." Draco laughed as I hopped down from the chair.
Harry took one look at me and shot up. "HANNAH LILLIAN ISABELLA MARIE POTTER, PUT SOME FUCKING CLOTHES ON!"
"I'm wearing clothes!" I protested. "It's my house, I can wear as much or as little clothes as I please!"
"Exactly!" Draco said, patting my shoulder. "Preferably as little clothes."
"HEY!" Harry shouted. "What you do when I leave the room is your business, but no verbal fucking with the brother of the bride to be in the room!"
I rolled my eyes. "What a wuss." I said, Draco nodding.
"Now I notice something, me, Malfoy, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Ivy, Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle, Blake and Sheila all grew after fifth year, you stayed the same size!" Harry said.
"Hey!" I said defensively. "I grew six inches since fifth year!"
"So originally you were four foot nine?" Draco asked.
I shrugged. "I'm like a pixie, sue me."
"Evil fairy more like." Harry muttered.
Draco threw my Invisibility Cloak at Harry. "I HEARD THAT!" he shouted, kissing my temple and handing me breakfast as a knock came to the door.
"Hang on." I said. "I GOT IT!" I shouted, running through the Manor sliding through the foyer in my socks, belting out "Old Timer Rock and Roll" as I went.
"I've always wanted to do that in my underwear!" I said, putting a bath robe on and opening the door.
"HANNAH! DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WITH YOUR UNDERWEAR SHOWING!" Harry bellowed.
"I'M IN A BATHROBE!" I screamed back to Harry before seeing who it is.
I gasped at the sight.
Standing on the threshold was a young man dressed in jeans and a t-shirt of Down With Webster, a leather jacket on overtop. He had black hair with the ends dyed green, eyes an ice blue. He had one ear pierced and a nose stud piercing.
Beside him was a little girl in a red fur lined cloak with a matching red dress, her eyes and hair was the same as his, except she had both ears pierced and wearing adorable French style earrings.
I smiled. "Zach? Val?"
