Recap:
"What can I do for you?" asked a middle aged man working at the pet emporium.
"How much is that owl?" Draco asked pointing to a black eagle owl in the corner.
"Ahh that's a beaut that one will cost you a fortune." The shop keeper said looking at the owl.
"How much?" Draco asked again not caring about the price.
"496 galleons that one emported from Germany." The shopkeeper replied.
"We'll take it"
"Draco that's too much." But Draco already paid with his money.
"You're a future Malfoy. Malfoys deserve the best and beside I haven't gotten you an engagement present yet." He replie smirking at his fiancé.
Hermione smiled at her fiancé full of pure happiness and before she knew it she jumped on him kissing him pationately in front of everyone to see.
Now:
Then BANG! There was an explosion breaking them apart.
"Ron I told you not to drop too many at the same time those things are filled with gun powder. One of them is loud as it is let alone eight!" Fred yelled walking into the view. As Ron stormed out of the shop.
"What the heck was that for?" Draco yelled getting seriously pissed.
"I don't know thank you? Gees" Hermione answered turning slightly pink in the cheeks.
Draco just glared at her handed the owl and walked off.
"It's okay Hermione." Ginny soothed turning up from no where. "Malfoy's a total git sometimes he beats my brother.
"Nahh he's right that was totally inappropriate if I wanted to say thanks I should of just said so instead of jumping on him." Hermione replied in barely a whisper.
"So? He didn't need to yell at you and embarrass you in front of all these people." She answered not giving up.
"Yeh but I embarrassed him as well." She debated covering up for Draco.
"Why you covering u for that ferret anyways?" Ginny said getting very curious.
"I am not I just debate for what's right." She said as she crossed her arms.
"Yeh I should know." Ginny answered with a laugh.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Hermione asked giving her friend a deathly glare.
"Um Spew, giants, shouldn't use animals to test spells and potions on creatures the list is endless herms." She said with a gigglel.
"First of all its S.P.E.W not spew and 2nd what's wrong with everything you said." Hermione questioned getting a bit hurt.
"Nothing miss Serious Perfectionist of Everything Wrong." Ginny said with a smirk.
"Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare and Serious Perfectionist of Everything Wrong?" Hermione replied a bit irritated.
"Yeh your such a perfectionist trying to perfect everything wrong." Ginny replied with a face that read 'duh'.
"Hmmph what's wrong with trying to change for the good?" Hermione asked now seriously getting annoyed at the redheaded witch.
"Nothing but God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." Ginny quoted really smartly.
"Ginny why would you listen to some guy name Reindeer?" Hermione asked her friend wondering how she knew that saying.
"Reinhold Niebuhr and before you ask Harry told me." She said before she pulled Hermione out of the shop.

"Saw the little display before." Blaise said in that smug way of his.
"Don't remind me. Seriously that women can't believe I'm gonna marry such a embarrassing thing. So embarrassing so not fit to be a Malfoy." Draco commented as he walked around Quidditch Quality Supplies.
"Hey was she good?" Blaise said seriously curious.
"God no it was all wet ans sloppy ehh."
Actually not bad probably practised on her hand.
"Nahh seriously mate. Was she good?" Blaise asked seriously.
"Hey do you think thes gloves match our quidditch robes?" Draco asked changing the subject.
"Umm get the green ones made out of dragon hide so they match our green robes and do not change the subject." Blaise said smirking at his scowling friend.
"She was fine I guess probably practised on her hand." Draco added for a laugh.
"Don't think so more like practised on Krum." He said laughing at his once again scowling friend.
"Hey did I tell you I'm gonna get another broom?" Draco asked again changing the subject.
"No what model?" Blaise asked getting excited.
"Thunderclap." Draco said clapping his hand for effect.
"Whoa thunderclap they stopped making those they are like really fast, faster than firebolt. How you gonna get one?" Blaise said getting really interested now.
"Andrew Granger has one said he'll give it to me kool ayy?" Draco said boasting to his friend. "Advantages to marrying a Granger I guess.
"So it's true that your engaged then. I thought you weer lying to get me jealous or put off." Lavender said turning up from no where.
"One Brown, why would I lie about getting married? And two how is this your business? " Draco asked getting irritated once again.
"Just curious, you know Malfoy I can do so much better than her." Lavender said seductively flipping her hair a batting her eyelashes making Draco inwardly gag.
"Back off Brown. Seriously are you so desperate you go for engaged guys? How pathetic can you get?" Blaise said taking over from his friend.
"This is none of your business Zabini." Lavender said giving him a deadly glare.
"Nor is it yours you came up from nowhere and cut in. you know eavesdropping is pretty pathetic as well just proves you don't have a life. Oh right sorry you don't you just go around tallying how many boys you can sleep with bad luck for you that you can only count up to three then." Blaise said with a smirk earning a frustrated yell from Lavender and loud thomping of feet leading to the door.

"Hi Ms Granger where's my parents?" Draco asked as he walked into the café an started looking for his parents.
"An owl came apparently your father forgot about a Ministy Governors Ball held in Barcelona and they had to leave." Charlotte said with a smile.
"What mother as well?" Draco asked getting worried.
"Yes it's a ball for the governors and their wives." Andrew said sitting down.
"Mr Malfoy if you don't mind me asking now that you are back in the wizarding world do you plan to have a job?" Draco asked politely as he ordered a butterbeer from the waitor.
"Well actually I've decided to regain my position as an auror." He said taking a sip from his drink.
"Auror papa? So did you know the Longbottoms?" Hermione asked as she sat down next to Draco once again starting to blush.
"Yes I do actually Frank was my partner we caught the criminals together before that crazy aunty of yours Draco made them go cukoo in the head." Andrew replied with a huff. "Damn good auror too."
"Yeh Neville is my friend from school their son." Hermione said with a laugh.
"Interesting tell me does Severus end up teaching at Hogwarts?" Andrew askes as he ordered another drink.
"Yes um potions master." Draco answered with a timid smile.
"Weird man that was hung up on the dark arts yet bestfriends with a muggle born that brother of Regulus even tried to get him killed wasn't for Potter he would of dies." Andrew said checking his watch.
"Yeh we found out his still teaching potions." Hermione said taking out a book getting an eye-roll from Draco.
"Yes he was really good at potions and inventing spells. Would be surprised if he didn't get the job." Andrew replied also rolling his eyes at his daughter.
"How about you Ms Granger, you planning to get a job?" Draco asked his future mother in law.
"Not sure yet I used to be a Healer at St Mungos with Lily horrible death she got." Charlotte replied with tears in her eyes.
"Wait weren't you in Slytherin?" Hermione said realising she didn't know her mother at all.
"No dear your father was in Slytherin I was in Gryffindor." Charlotte replied with a smile. "See Andrew I told you our little girl would be a Gryffindor just like me." Charlotte continued getting an annoyed grunt from her husband."
"But aren't slytherins meant to be enemies with gryffindors?" Hermione asked now confused.
"Non sense that stupid theory was started but that Tom Riddle boy whole lot of stupid pish posh trying to keep the founders names when Godric Gryffindor an Salazar Slytherin were best friends." Charlotte concluded with a very smart nod.
"She was meant to be a Ravenclaw now you see why." Andrew said gaining a hit on the arm from his wife.
"Another thing in comment with mom then hey dad?" Hermione replied with a smile getting a scowl from her father.
"Wait I forgot to ask where am I gonna stay without my parents?" Draco asked getting worried again.
"Don't worry dear I got Dobby to get some clothes for you and you'll be staying at our house." Charlotte explained taking a bite from a daish.
"Oh okay, wow six o'clock already?" I still need to get new gear for quidditch and with that he ran to the quidditch shop.

"Hi um do you have that book umm Quality Quidditch tricks and techniques?" Draco asked the person from the counter. " I was here earlier and they said it came in today."
"Yes actually first to get one that would be 95 galleons sir." Draco gave the correct amount and went of to continue browsing the shelves.
"Oi Malfoy what was that with Hermione earlier on? Mark my words Malfoy you stay away from her." Ron said coming through the doors.
"Tell that to her she kissed me not vice versa oh well poor Ronikins nobody wuvs him." Draco said making a face. "Oh and tell Brown to lay off me as well she cane be as bad as Pansy at times." Draco said going back to browsing as he picked up some elbow and knee pads.
"Lavender would never go on you Malfoy she's mine." Ron said his eyes narrowing at the blonde.
"You kidding me or yourself? Anyways she did and I thought you said Granger was yours?" Draco said turning back around.
"Oh your just jealous Malfoy." Ron said folding his arms and giving a smug superior look.
"Me jealous or you last time I checked I'm the one marrying your dream girl. I'm the one she kissed and I'm the one getting harassed by Brown what are you doing her anyways? You seriously can't afford anything in here." That shut Ron up a he walked back out. Bumping into Hermione.
"Hi-hi Hermione." He said grinning and starting to blush.
"Uh Hi Ron you alright? You look like a blown up tomato." This made Draco snigger in the background getting another glare from Hermione.
"Draco hurry up we're going home soon something about dad wanting to get home early to see how good you are at flying and if you fit your thunderbolt right." Hermione said feeling uncomfortable.
"THUNDERBOLT! THOSE STOPPED GETTING MADE. THEY'RE FASTER THAN A FIREBOLT. HOW'S HE GETTING ONE OF THOSE?" Ron explode out of no where.
"Umm daddy's giving it to him." Hermione answered shifting her feet. "Um mom wants to know which room you want so Dobby can get it prepared the one you had last time, one with a balcony or one downstairs?" Hermione asked keeping her composure.
"Actually I don't mind being in your room with you." Draco said suggestively as he smirked and did that annoying thing with his eyebrows. As he tried to get Ron annoyed.
"Right don't think my mom would be to happy about that not until we get married at least. Speaking about that we still need to get home and organise it." She said getting annoyed about him staring at her and suggesting that in front of Ron.
"Whatever." And he turned around to browse.
"Whatever isn't good enough!" so she walked up to Draco got his left hand and dragged him out of the store. Leaving an annoyed Ron. Staring at Hermione and Draco's linked hands.
