Hey everyone welcome back I'm so happy for all of my fans who have stuck through it makes me really happy. I have no news this time except for it goes from really cheesy to really sad to smutty and it's a big roller coaster of things.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A few weeks passed and things went fine for the most part. Hermione continued to get criticized by Medusa but she learned to brush it off. Hermione had gotten to help pick out and decorate the tree. The outside was covered in a blanket of snow everything was calm and nice. It was Christmas Eve and tonight was the Malfoy Christmas Eve ball. Hermione smiled as she cuddled with her husband in the den with a book. Draco smiling watching her until Ginny walked in and he threw her a glare. "What do you want?" He hissed. Hermione looked up and hit him on the arm playfully. "Be nice." She said. Then looked at Ginny. "Miss Narcissa as asked me to tell you that the Daily Prophet photographer and the guest for tonight's Christmas ball will be here soon and you should start getting ready." She said bowing her head before leaving.
Hermione and Draco both stood. It's easy for Draco to get ready it just consisted of putting on his formal suit which consisted of a form-fitting button-down shirt, Tie, Vest, Coat, slacks, and shoes. All black of course. While Hermione had to have her hair done, makeup is done and get her corset and dress on. The couple went up to their room. Hermione eating a few chocolates and kissing her husband before leaving and going to the room across the hall where she'd get ready as Draco wasn't going to see her until she was done. Draco got dressed and went downstairs to greet people with his parents. The photographers for the Daily Prophet arrived followed by many of Draco's friends Theodore with Daphne on his arm. All of the death eaters showed up some bringing their slaves they had gotten from Voldemort after the war.
After they all arrived and servants were sent to help Harry, Ron, and Ginny with dinner. Everyone was socializing. Draco's group of friends talking with him while he waited at the stairs for his wife who wasn't finished getting ready. The only couples within the group were Theodore and Daphne and Blaise took Pansy as a date even though everyone knew she wanted to be there with Draco. All the girls were in black, dark blues, and some red dresses. Draco laughed at something Blaise had said when Daphne gasped causing everyone in hearing distance to stop and look where she was looking at the top of the stairs. Draco looked up and his breath caught and he stared in awe at Hermione as she walked down the stairs. She wore a strapless lavender dress that poofed out at the waist and had silver jewels all over the bust. She had silk white gloves that went up over her elbow and silver heels. Her hair was pinned back and her makeup was natural with silver shimmers on her eyeshadow. She met Draco at the end of the stairs and he took her hand kissing the back of her hand.
Hermione smiled at him and said hello to all of his friends and everyone continues socializing until Voldemort showed up then it was time for dinner. Everyone went to the dining room where instead on the normal table it was replaced with multiple circle tables that sat ten to a table. Draco and Hermione were accompanied by his parents, aunt and uncle, Grandmother, Crabbe and Goyle. And His lord himself. Voldemort watched Hermione the entire dinner as they were served their first course of steak and kidney pies. He also asked how'd she'd been since her punishment by Bellatrix. "She's been perfect, my lord." Draco answered. "She has been quiet and submissive she has followed my every request and she hasn't spoken a kind word to her former friends once." He said Voldemort looked from Draco to his wife who just stayed quiet as she took a drink of ice water from her glass goblet. "And how is the child doing?" He asked now wanting an answer from Hermione. The girl looked at him, "The baby is doing just fine, my lord. Draco and I have another appointment coming up in the next few days to see how they're doing." She said. Voldemort seemed to be satisfied with this. Hermione just went back to being quiet and picking at her food until the dishes were cleared by multiple of Hermione's old friends who were now slaves to the death eaters. Hermione couldn't make eye contact when Lavender Brown walked up in her tattered brown dress to collect the dishes. She looked at her just long enough to see the slash scars across her arm and side of her face from where she was attacked and barley survived by the same person she was then given slave to, Fenrir Greyback.
Draco looked over at Hermione who had a pained look in her eye's. He knew how much it hurt her to see her friends like this is this position in life. He grabbed her hand and rubbed it lovingly with his thumb as he continued conversation with Crabbe and Goyle while their second course arrived. Hermione seemed to perk up at the dish it was five cheese pasta with oregano and carrots, her favorite. She then looked at Draco who smirked at her. He was the only one besides Ron Harry and Ginny who knew this was her favorite and had to have ordered it be made. As badly as the girl wanted to stuff her mouth full of the flavorful food and ask for seconds and thirds. She restrained herself and ate like a proper lady would. After that dessert was served which was a chocolate cake. And then the males all took a female's hand and led them to the ballroom. Lead by Lucius and Narcissa followed by Draco and Hermione. Who started the first dance of the night. And for the rest of the night couples twirled around the ballroom dancing. Draco smiled at Hermione as he led her around the dance floor one hand on her waist and the other holding her hand. Hermione smiled back at him looking lovingly into his eyes. This was probably better than dancing at their wedding had been.
"I love you." He said as they continued dancing with the other couples. Hermione smiled at him, "I love you too, Draco." She said lovingly. Hermione looked and saw Lucius sneering as he knocked Harry to the group causing him to spill the tray of drinks he was carryings around. She looked back at Draco "I don't want our child to be brought up like this." She said. Draco looked at her with a puzzled look. "Like what? in a house full of whatever the desire and loving parents?" He asked Hermione looked down. "No. I mean growing up learning that their last name is supposed to make them better than everyone else. And growing up thinking they can boss around and abuse my best friends and one day their kids." She said. She hadn't told anyone but a few nights before Ginny learned she was pregnant. And that their child was most likely conceived the night Harry and Ron came back to the order. Suddenly Draco's grip tightened almost painfully. Hermione whimpered and looked at him. "Our child will be fine the way they will be raised and you'll deal with it." he hissed. Hermione got defensive suddenly and pulled herself close to him. "I don't care what Voldemort says I will take my child and leave if I don't think they're being raised right. I don't want them to end up like how you were when we first met." She whispered harshly in his ear. Draco suddenly shoved her away hard making everyone stop and look at them as she hit the floor. She looked back at him standing and brushing her dress off. "You're gonna resort back to that? Back to pushing me away and hitting me?" She said Draco said nothing and turned around walking away. "You're a coward Draco Malfoy!" Hermione yelled at his back making him stop and turn around with no emotion on his face or sparkle in his eye that was normally there when he looked at her. Then in the most emotionless voices, he said, "I never loved you."
Some people looked shocked, some gasped, the photographers were getting pictures of the whole fight. Tears welled up in Hermione's eyes and looked at Draco. "So everything you've ever told me! The way you've acted! It was all a lie!" She yelled at him. "You think my emotions are a game don't you!" She screamed. Draco all of the sudden got a confused look on his face as he seemed to come out of a trance. "Hermione what do you mean?" He asked walking back toward her. "Get away from me!" She yelled backing up but he kept walking toward her and reached out to take her. Then a loud slap was heard and Draco stumbled back a bit a bright red hand mark on his left cheek the same shade of red on Hermione's right palm. "You will never change Malfoy! You will ALWAYS be a foul loathsome evil little cockroach!" She screamed tears running down her cheeks, using the same insult she called him in third year right before she punched him. Still crying she rushed from the room Ginny rushing after her. Neither were seen at the party for the rest of the night. Draco wanted to follow her but being one of the host couldn't and was forced to stay downstairs. Narcissa who had grown to love Hermione despite her blood grew worried about her daughter in law and allowed Harry and Ron to leave and go check on her and spend time with her for the rest of the night.
Upstairs Hermione was sitting still in her dress sobbing. Ginny was rubbing her back sitting next to her and Harry was on the other side of her Ron sitting in front of her. "I can't believe he said that. And then tried to act like he didn't know what was going on." She cried out. "And it all started because I said I didn't want our child raised like how he was brought up and raised. That I didn't want that. Then he got defensive so I told him I didn't care what Voldemort says I was going to take our child and leave if I didn't think they were being raised right. Then he tells me he doesn't love me." She sobbed. "How could he do that to me?" She cried. She then looked at Harry. "I can't do this anymore, Harry play this role." She said. "We have to end it. We have to kill Voldemort once and for all. You guys and everyone else will be free. And If Draco really loves me he'll stay married to me no matter what his parents say." She said. "But it needs to be after the baby is born I'm not going to let him not see the birth of his child but if he doesn't love me and he isn't raising our child right. I'm leaving. But none of us can be trapped like this anymore. I mean Harry you and Ginny are expecting a baby." Hermione said.
Harry and Ginny smiled before Harry leaned over and pecked Ginny on the cheek. Hermione just continued to cry and Ginny moved off the bed with Harry letting Ron move to hold Hermione. "Do you want to sleep in our room tonight?" He asked her quietly. She nodded and let Ron help her up. Her mascara running down her cheeks and her eyeliner smeared. She didn't bother changing out of her gown or taking her hair down and makeup off and let Ron lead her down the hall to his, Harry and Ginny's room. Harry and Ginny were already there changed into their night clothes and sitting up in bed. Harry held Hermione soothing her while Ron changed into his own night clothes when he came back he took Hermione's arm and led her to his bed. Ron helps Hermione into the bed and was about to move and sleep on the floor when she grabbed his arm. "Ron will you stay with me. Please?" She asked. Ron looked at her then at his sister and best friend who both urged him to do it knowing he loved her and Ginny knowing that she might still like him. Ron climbed into the bed and Hermione rest her head on his shoulder closing her eyes. Ron hesitantly put his arms around her and slowly they all fell asleep.
The ball downstairs ended sometime around midnight and once everyone left except for Bellatrix and her husband and Voldemort Draco rushed up to his room hoping to talk and apologize to Hermione but when he entered the room it was empty. He rushed down the hall to his parents room. "Mother have you seen, Hermione?" He asked panicked to his mother who was getting ready for bed with his father. "Yes, Leave her be Draco and go to bed. You two need a night apart after your actions tonight." His mother said getting stern with her son for one of the first times ever. "But-" he started "Draco, enough. I've given the servants permission to comfort her. And if she has so chosen to sleep in their room then so be it. You will not argue any longer now go to bed." She said causing Draco to look down. "Yes, Mother." He said bidding his father and mother a quick goodnight before leaving. He walked down to the servants room cracking the door open to see Harry asleep in his bed on the far right wall. Hand reaching to hold Ginny's who was asleep in her own bed next to Harry's and in the bed on the far left was Ron asleep Hermione asleep next to him with her head on his shoulder and his arm wrapped lazily around her waist. The site of the love of his life in another man's arms broke his heart. But what made it worse was seeing her hair a mess and her makeup ruined as he saw tear tracks on her cheeks. He sighed and closed the door letting a tear fall down his cheek and he walked back to his room. Got into bed and fell asleep.
The next morning Hermione woke up and looked around slightly confused she saw Harry asleep across the room and Ginny asleep in a bed next to his. She looked next to her and saw Ron in the same bed as her. Then all the memories started flooding back to her and her eyes welled up with more tears. She was careful to quietly get out of Ron's grasp and quietly leave the room walking back to her own room. She opened the door and walked in Draco still asleep in their bed. She walked over to the wardrobe and changed into sweatpants and her Gryffindor shirt she wore to Quidditch matches. She then when to the bathroom and took her makeup off and took her hair down. She then sat down at Draco's desk and watched him sleep. She looked at the man she loved and wondered if he really meant what he had said or if someone had put him under the imperious curse because it sounded too genuine when he said he didn't know what she was talking about. She got up and walked over to his bedside before she bent down next to him and kissed his cheek. He moved a bit and started waking up.
He opened his eyes and looked around before seeing her standing at his bedside. "Did you mean what you said last night." She asked Draco sat and took her hand. "No I didn't mean it I don't know what came over me I don't know what made me say that Hermione I love you. I will always love you." He said before kissing her passionately she kissed him back and let her pull him onto the bed and on top of him. He broke the kiss and looked at her. "Still have that Gryffindor pride?" He asked making her giggle before he pulled her top over her head leaving her in her bra. He grabbed his wand off his nightstand and put up a locking charm followed by a silencing charm. He then pulled off her sweatpants and kissed her again rolling her onto her back as he undid her bra and pulled off her panties. She pressed her hand against his chest and let her hand trace his abs and down to the hem of his boxers before pulling them down. They both skipped the foreplay the lust in the way too much for them to take things slow and lovingly. Instead, Draco wrapped her legs around his waist and slammed into her making her scream out. He thrust in and out at a rough and fast pace making Hermione moan and her eyes shut tightly in pleasure. Draco hit her G-spot and she arched her back "Draco!" She screamed as she came. Draco came shortly after with a low groan. He pulled out and laid down next to Hermione who snuggled close against his chest missing the cuddling. "I'm sorry about the fight last night. Picking a fight and then running. And slapping you." She said. "I'm sorry for saying I never loved you. I promise with all my being I love you more than life itself." He said Hermione tilted her head up and kissed his cheek before closing her eyes. "Do you think they'll miss us if we miss breakfast and sleep for a little longer?" She asked. "I don't think they'll mind at all," Draco said wrapping his arms around the girl. They both fell asleep in each other's arms after wonderful makeup sex.
