Chapter 29:
Moving on
Hermione woke up the next day with Draco beside her, but not like before. It took her a few minutes to realise she wasn't at the Manor, she was at her house, and he wasn't a death eater. He wasn't the person the Ministry were chasing, he was just Draco. Her Draco. She smiled as she turned over to face him. He was sleeping peacefully; she had never seen him so peaceful. She slowly slid out of her bed and grabbed her robe as she headed to the kitchen. Pinky was up as always.
"Morning Miss," Pinky beamed.
"Morning," Hermione replied.
"Breakfast is ready Miss," Pinky smiled, "It's on the garden table miss."
"You made breakfast already?" Hermione smiled as she opened the patio door.
"No miss Mrs Malfoy miss was up faster then Pinky!" Pinky said shocked.
Hermione smiled as she entered the garden. Narcissa was sitting there drinking coffee, "Mrs Malfoy you really did not have to make breakfast!"
"It's the least I can do," Narcissa smiled, "Please call me Narcissa."
Hermione smiled and sat down, "Thank you Narcissa, this all looks wonderful."
"It tastes good too," Narcissa smiled.
Hermione blushed as she put a few waffles in her plate. She took a bite, "This is great."
Narcissa smiled, "Like I said I owe you."
"No you don't!" Hermione objected. "You don't owe me anything. I don't do anything I don't want to do."
Narcissa smiled, "You love Draco a lot don't you?"
"I'd give my life up for him," Hermione blurted out. She began to blush ferociously.
"I've never seen him like this," Narcissa said. "After you went to bed I talked to him. He's different, my son is more of a man then he has ever been. He loves you. His face lit up when I mentioned your name; I've never ever seen him like this."
Hermione blushed again.
"Mum why you smiling like a Cheshire cat and why has Hermione turned into a tomato?" Draco smirked.
Hermione became even redder, Draco grinned as he sat beside her.
"Long story," Narcissa replied staring at the sky. "I never thought I'd see the outside world again."
"Well you're seeing it now," Draco smiled. "And I'll never let you be put in a situation like that again."
Narcissa nodded, "I'm going to change, and we have to return to the Manor later today."
Narcissa got up and left. Hermione passed Draco the juice and he smiled at her.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Don't I get a morning kiss?" Draco smirked.
Hermione smiled as she kissed him softly and before either could deepen the kiss an owl arrived. It was a tawny little thing.
"Harry and Ginny," Hermione said taking the note.
Hermione,
I'm glad Draco's back and you're happy. You deserve to be. Harry and I are standing by your decision but Ron isn't too happy about it. Then again it is just Ron so who cares.
Tomorrow night me and Harry are throwing a little party for just us close friends, and I was wondering if you would attend, it would mean a lot to me. This means Draco and Narcissa too, their both invited and I refuse to take no for an answer.
Owl me back

Hermione smiled as she passed the note to Draco.
"So Weasel isn't happy," Draco commented. "Oh well."
"You want to go?" Hermione asked.
Draco looked at her and analysed her face, "You want to so sure."
Hermione smiled, "Do you think your mum would want to?"
"Yes and by the looks of this note, I don't think she has a choice."
Hermione grinned as she wrote a reply and attached it to the owl.
"Look Hermione when I ended us," Draco began.
"Snape told me," Hermione stopped him. "A noble reason. So Gryffindor."
Draco glared at her, "No I'm a Slytherin and nothing but."
Hermione smirked, "Dually noted."
"So he did tell you?"
"Well he told Harry who told me," Hermione smiled.
Draco nodded, "I do love you Hermione."
"I love you too," Hermione replied. "But when you broke up with me, my world shattered. You hurt me."
"I know. I'm sorry," he whispered. "I was just trying to…"
"Protect me, I know."
"It hurt me too. It broke my heart, all I felt was evil. After a long time I felt like I was pure evil and there was no good in me, because with you I feel good. You bring out the best in me. You're everything to me and I never want to lose you," Draco smiled and then an idea popped into his head. He grabbed a part of the waffle with a hole in it and then he held Hermione's left hand. He got of his chair and was down on one knee. "I love you, you're my world and I don't want to spend a moment of my life without you. Will you marry me?"
Hermione's eyes widened, "Yes. Yes! Yes I'll marry you!"
Draco grinned as he placed the waffle on her wedding finger.
"This is cheesy," Hermione smirked.
"Spontaneous," he corrected before he kissed her.
"I love you Draco," she whispered.
"I love you too," he replied.
Hermione grinned as she looked at the finger, "The ring I've always wanted."
Draco laughed, "And nice and cheap." He chuckled.
"Funny," she kissed him again.
Narcissa came back outside, "Draco we do need to get a move on."
Draco smiled and looked at his mother, "Yes mother."
"Hermione dear why do you have a waffle piece on your finger?" Narcissa raised her eyebrow.
"Um," Hermione said looking at her finger and then blushing. She then looked up at Draco.
"I proposed," Draco said.
Narcissa grinned, "Oh my! Congratulations!"
She hugged Draco and then Narcissa.
"So we can move your stuff into the Manor now too," Narcissa smiled.
Hermione blushed.
"Then we need to buy you a dress for the party tomorrow," Draco smiled.
"I have dresses," Hermione argued.
"What party?" Narcissa asked.
"I'll explain on the way back to the Manor," Draco smiled.

The next night…
Draco, Narcissa and Hermione were back at the Manor. Narcissa was still getting ready in her room. Hermione had been ready for a few minutes and was currently sitting in the courtyard, she loved watching the stars. Draco was in his room. He slowly opened a black box and smiled before walking downstairs and into the courtyard.
He sat down on the bench beside Hermione; he had to admit he was a little nervous, even though he had already done the proposing part. He looked at her; she was wearing a baby pink spaghetti strap dress which swept the ground. Her hair was in a bun, with a few curly strands escaping. She looked perfect.
Hermione looked at him, "You okay?"
Draco nodded.
"Then why aren't you speaking or kissing me?" Hermione asked. "Gone off me already?"
Draco looked at her and smiled, "If you wanted a kiss, you just had to ask."
Hermione blushed but before she could respond Draco kissed her hungrily.
"Happy?" he smirked.
Hermione grinned. Draco slowly took the black box out of his pocket, "My grandmother, in her will left me this." Draco opened the box, Hermione gasped. It was a ring made of what looked like platinum or something more expensive. There was a moderately sized diamond on the band and on either side of the band, three rubies each. It was beautiful. At the back of the ring, there was the Malfoy crest engraved. "My gran said when I had found the right woman for me that this ring was for her. Before I give you this ring I have to warn you, there's a spell on it, it binds us together, so you can never take the ring of, whether I die or not. It means we are forever to be together."
Hermione looked into the nervous grey eyes of Draco, "So if I accept the ring, we're engaged but we can never ever break up."
Draco stared into her brown eyes, looking for what she was really thinking, "Yea…if you're not sure about us, and you know…you can not accept…"
"Well," Hermione interrupted. "I mean the waffle ring was amazing, this one is a bit…you know…not as good but then again you did eat the waffle ring off my hand so this will have to do I guess." Hermione teased as Draco began to smile.
He lifted her left hand and placed the ring slowly on her finger.
"Draco," Hermione whispered. "It's beautiful."
"Like you," Draco replied before claiming a kiss.
Hermione pulled back and smiled, "You know everyone will know I'm engaged, they won't miss the ring."
"So?" Draco replied.
Hermione grinned, "Nothing, I don't care. Let them know."
Draco grinned again before kissing her.
"Uhumm," Narcissa cleared her throat. Draco pulled back quickly and reddened. "I see you're wearing Draco's grandmother's ring." Narcissa was smiling. "It's a perfect fit."
Hermione smiled as she stood up.
"Right…we better get a move on," Draco smiled as he entered the house, his mum and Hermione behind them. "Floo?"
Hermione nodded, "Yea, one at a time."
"You better go first then," Draco said.
"Chicken," Hermione teased.
Draco smirked as Hermione entered the fireplace. She stood in the living room of Harry and Ginny's house. They were both smiling, beside them stood Hannah, Neville, Luna and Rolf. Hermione smiled and soon Draco and Narcissa stood beside her.
"Finally," Ginny smiled at them all. "About time!"
Hermione and Narcissa laughed as Ginny hugged them. Neville and Harry both shook Draco's hand.
"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked.
"Late," Luna replied. "As usual."
"Narcissa, that day we were talking about baby nurseries," Ginny began and once Narcissa nodded, she continued, "Well I picked up a few brochures, my mums and Fleur are in the front room, do you feel like helping? I would love your input."
"I would love to," Narcissa smiled.
"Come on Hannah," Ginny pulled the other pregnant woman along with her.
"All the Weasley's here?" Hermione asked nervously.
"Fred and George can't make it, Arthur's here, also in the front room. Percy can't make it and Bill and Charlie are in the back trying to work out how to use a barbeque." Harry answered.
Hermione nodded, "Sirius?"
"Sirius is actually at Grimmauld Palace right now, turns out he had a secret girlfriend, he's with her there." Harry answered. Hermione nodded and nervously pulled a strand of her hair back. Ginny was back in the room, she squealed.
"What?" Hermione and Draco asked.
Ginny ran to Hermione and picked up her left hand, "WOW!"
"Oh," Hermione blushed.
"I proposed yesterday," Draco explained.
"Congratulations!" Ginny and Luna hugged Hermione.
"Yea," Harry smiled at Draco. "Congratulations Mal…Draco."
"Thanks Potty," Draco smirked. "What because you called me by my first name, doesn't mean I'll get all mushy on you!"
Harry laughed.
"Hermione Granger engaged!" Neville smirked. "And to Draco Malfoy. Wow!"
"ENGAGED!" no one had noticed Ron and Lavender arrived. Lavender was ready to run at Hermione and hug her but Ron pulled her back, "Engaged to fucking Malfoy!"
"Ron, I thought you were ok with…" Hermione began.
"No Hermione you never gave me a chance to tell you how I felt about this!" Ron argued.
"How do you feel?" Hermione asked keeping calm.
"IT'S MALFOY! YOU LOST YOUR MIND!" Ron exploded as everyone watched on shocked. Even Lavender.
"No, I'm sane, last time I checked," Hermione smiled. She heard Draco chuckle.
"THIS IS NO TIME FOR JOKES! HOW! WHY! DRACO MALFOY! HE'S A DEATH EATER HERMIONE! HE'LL HURT YOU!"
"First he isn't a death eater, he was, there's a big difference and besides he fought for us in the war," Hermione started.
"YEA BUT…" Ron started.
"SHUT UP! I'M TALKING!" Hermione replied, "As for him hurting me…he won't. He loves me, I love him, end of."
"END OF? End of? No, he says he loves you! He doesn't mean it!" Ron shouted as Molly, Arthur and Fleur entered from the living room and Bill and Charlie came from the garden, they had all heard the shouting.
"No Ron he does mean it," Hermione replied. "He wouldn't have proposed if he didn't. He doesn't say what he doesn't mean, he's not…" Hermione stopped realising what she was saying.
"He's not like me, right?" Ron asked hurt.
"I'm sorry Ron," Hermione replied. "I didn't mean it like that but…look you've got Lavender and you love each other, why is it so hard for you to accept my choice?"
"Lavender wasn't a death eater!" Ron shouted.
Hermione sighed, "I don't want to fight Ron, either accept us or don't its up to you but I don't want to lose your friendship."
Ron opened his mouth.
"Ronald Weasley do not say another word," Lavender warned him. "Hermione he's being a big baby, he'll get over it." Ron huffed loudly and walked out of the living room. "I'm happy for you! For you both!" She hugged Hermione, congratulated Draco before following Ron.
"CHAMPAGNE FOR EVERYONE!" Fred and George sang.
"Where did you come from?" Ginny asked. "You're not meant to be here!"
"We changed our minds!" Fred smiled. "Congratulations Hermione and ferret boy!"
George conjured champagne glasses for everyone.
"Can you smell burning?" Draco asked.
"Yea," Harry replied, "Bill, Charlie, did you turn the Barbie off?"
"Off?" Charlie asked confused.
Harry sighed as he headed into the garden followed by Bill and Charlie. Molly came up to hug Hermione, "Congratulations darling."
"Thanks Molly," Hermione smiled.
"Set a date yet?" Fleur asked.
"We only just got engaged!" Hermione replied.
She watched as Draco talked to Neville and smiled.
"Looks like dinner is burnt," Harry replied. "So who feels like cooking?"
Ginny laughed, "Looks like I'm cooking."
"I'll help," Hermione offered.
"Ok but no one else, I am the hostess after all!" Ginny smirked as they entered the kitchen.
Hermione and Ginny used their wands to defrost chicken and began to cook with magic.
"So," Ginny smirked.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"What?" Ginny smirked.
"What what?" Hermione asked
"Don't roll your eyes! I haven't said anything yet!"
"Yet," Hermione repeated.
Ginny grinned, "Ok fine, you and Malfoy huh?"
"Yes you already know that!"
"Yea you and Malfoy engaged!"
"Draco and I are engaged, yes."
"How did he propose, I want every little detail."
Hermione smiled, she knew this was coming, "Okay we were having breakfast yesterday and we were talking about us, and then it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and he broke a part of a waffle and he just proposed."
"Aww," Ginny smiled.
"He made this little speech and it was so romantic!"
"Let me see the ring close up," Ginny smiled as she examined the ring.
"We were sitting in the courtyard before we got here and well…that's when he gave me the ring and he was all nervous, saying how it was a binding ring and only if I was sure was I to wear it…"
"Binding?" Ginny asked. "Like life binding."
Hermione nodded, "Yea I know, you're going to say it's with Malfoy and I shouldn't have…"
"No Hermione," Ginny shook her head.
"Then?"
"Well a pureblood magical binding ring, yea it binds you and another together but it only works if the two of you are soul mates, only soul mates can wear the ring or the moment the ring touches the woman, the guy would die!"
"So me and Draco are soul mates?" Hermione asked.
"Yes and Draco probably knows all this and hasn't told you," Ginny sighed. "It's so cute! Now you can win everyone around."
Hermione smiled. So we are meant to be. This is so…perfect.
Ron entered the kitchen looking sulky, "Can I speak to Hermione?"
Ginny nodded before leaving.
"Ron, if you're going to shout some more…" Hermione began.
"I'm not," Ron sat down at the kitchen table. Hermione reluctantly sat opposite him. "I'm sorry," Ron mumbled.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"I'm sorry," Ron repeated. "Lavender…well we talked and she yelled and she said, if your happy I should be and Malfoy…he well he did help us."
Hermione smiled, "And the fact that I'm wearing his binding ring."
Ron's jaw dropped to the ground.
"Yea Ginny explained it to me, so Ron there's nothing you can say any more because Draco and I are meant to be together."
Ron just nodded, "Right um…congratulations." Ron got up and walked out of the kitchen.
Hermione silently smiled to herself, Ginny came back and they finished making dinner. When they sat down for dinner, she smiled as Draco was getting along with everyone. She smiled to him across the table. He smiled back wondering how he got so lucky.
When the night was over, Hermione hugged everyone and left with Draco. Narcissa went to sleep as it was late. Hermione poured some wine for herself and for Draco.
"You never explained the binding ring thing properly," Hermione said handing him a glass before sitting down on the sofa.
"Weaslette told you?" Draco said as he sat beside her.
Hermione nodded, "If we weren't real…you could've died."
"Yea but I knew we were real, Hermione what I feel for you is more then real, it's everything." Draco smiled as he kissed her hand.
"Lucky for you Draco, that you're everything to me, I love you," she whispered.
"Who would have thought you and me would be here?"
"Not me," Hermione replied before kissing him.
"Or me," Draco replied. "But I'm glad we're here."
"No more secrets, no more cold Draco, no more evil, just us," Hermione smiled.
"Just us," Draco repeated.
"I want it to be this way forever."
"I promise you it will be."
He kissed her once more and they both smile at each other, knowing that their life together as a real couple had begun and they were ready for anything.
