HEY sorry it's been so long! I'm on vacation so while my creative juices are flowing I figured it would be good to write a chapter!

```I own none of the amazing world in which I am dabbling!```

Ps slight Ron bashing by his little sister=)

Hermione Granger was never one for hysterics, but on the day that the sorting hat told her she was doomed to a life with Draco Malfoy, Hysteria set in. with an hair raising scream she fluttered her hands about her face in a girlish manner and huffed a few times before frantically demanding, "Do the test again!" With a chuckle and the ever present twinkle, Dumbledore answered serenely, "It only takes once, Miss Granger."

Hermione turned and with a scathing look towards her new beau, she flounced from the room, almost running into an apprehensive Lucius Malfoy. Looking to her feet with a blush; she quietly pardoned herself before taking off down the corridor. With a sniffle she refused to let herself cry, instead she waited for Ginny, who had obviously been paired with Blaise Zabini. Once the two friends met up, they exchanged equally sympathetic looks and left the ministry.

Draco woke up to his father and Blaise leaning over his lax form. Regaining his consciousness and feeling he began to stand. Looking around the room he asked hoarsely, "Where's Granger?" Blaise looked amused before saying, "she left the room in a tizzy. Not sure where she is, but wherever it is, she has my fiancée with her as well." With a nod, Draco looked to his father, "Can I have the day off?" a small smile and nod later and the two men who were recently tied down left the building in search for their partners. Not many words were ever passed between the two friends, which is why they got along so well. Silence was not uncomfortable for the two. With a sigh Draco thought of his long life ahead of him, life with up tight little Granger could not be fun. Turning to his best mate he asked the obvious; "where should we look for them?" Blaise shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I'm not sure what you think but I need a fire whiskey." With a chuckle Draco said, "that doesn't sound half bad my friend!"

Once seated at the bar Draco and Blaise ordered their drinks and were waiting for the tender, when they heard a rather girlishly drunk laugh, "Oh Ginny!" Hermione giggled, "Don't make me laugh so hard! I'm serious!" she said. Ginny giggled with her, and when they saw a waitress, they flagged her down and ordered another round. Raising his brow at Blaise, Draco asked a silent question. With a nod Blaise and Draco stood as one and joined their soon to be counterparts at the table. Hermione looked at Draco disdainfully, "Oh.. Its you." She said as Ginny snorted into her glass. "Yooou know Hermmy, itsss not half bad. At least we got matched up with good looking guysss." Ginny slurred. She then turned to her intended and asked rather bluntly, "Do you know how to use it?" Blaise looked confused, "Use what, exactly?" Ginny giggled and gestured to his crotch. "That." She said matter of factly. Hermione snorted and then began to roar with laughter before turning to Draco with a quizzical look on her face, "Do you?" she asked. The two girls then collapsed onto each other in a fit of giggles. With an astonished look on his face, Draco answered honestly, "Yes I do. And if rumor has it, so does he." The silence that commenced was immediate and almost awkward, that is until Ginny broke it saying. "Oh well that's good Hermione, because now you don't have to get yourself off!" Hermione huffed before saying, "Ronald is a fine lover Ginny. He just sometimes doesn't get it right." Ginny laughed again before saying "That's because he's Ron; he never can do anything quite right." Hermione let a giggle bubble out and said, "Yes well apparently that will no longer be a problem!" The women once more fell into a fit of giggles. Looking to his friend Draco shook his head in amazement, there was really nothing left to say about that. Turning back to Hermione Draco said, "Granger, we have to discuss some things before the marriage." With a dark look on her face Hermione nodded, almost feeling sober she said, "Floo to my flat tonight, I just want to get this all over with. And please Malfoy, I know your family. I don't want anything extravagant or over the top." With that the two women excused themselves and made their way home.

Later that evening, Draco found himself in Hermione's living room. Walking to the kitchen he found Hermione cooking, and sat at a stool, after announcing himself, he began. "Look Granger, I just want to say, lets not start this out by being hostile. I do not want to raise children in an angry environment." With a shocked look, Hermione nodded and said "I agree." With that they began their wedding planning. About an hour or so later, they finally agreed that they wanted to have a simple wedding with only their close friends and family. They didn't want a news paper announcement, and their colors were going to be Silver and Red. The wedding would take place at The Malfoy Manor Gardens and it would be in the afternoon. Because her parents were obliterated, Mr. Weasley had kindly offered to walk Hermione down the isle; an offer she graciously accepted. The only thing left to debate was when the splendid event would occur. "I say next weekend." Hermione stated plainly. Draco, tired and just wanting the whole event out of the way argued, "I say this weekend." With her eyes narrowed Hermione looked at Draco, "I need more time to prepare than 4 days Draco." She said voice icey. Picking up on her tone Draco responded in an equally chill tone, "Yes well I want to get this blasted ordeal over with." With a hurt look in her eye Hermione nodded her approval. "yes, we'll do it your way… just as everything else for the rest of my life will be."

Draco, was astonished at how easy it had been to convince her, and was slightly tinged with guilt at the look on her face, "Yes, well, one more thing; You need to meet my family before we make this official."

Hurt turning to horror, Hermione remembered with that small statement, just who her life had become entangled with.

Sorry its short! Review and I'll load another! 3!
