Chapter 21: Reasoning With The Grangers
Hermione and Draco stood outside Hermione's parents house.
"Draco maybe we should just run away like you said," said Hermione nervously.
"It going to be fine Hermione! Once your parents see how much we love each other they'll change their minds!" said Draco encouragingly. But inside he was nervous too.
He gave Hermione an encouraging smile and she felt better. They knocked on the door. Draco took Hermione's hand and gave it a squeeze.
Hermione's mum answered the door. Her face lit up in surprise and delight at the sight of Hermione.
"Hermione! Darling oh thank god your home! Everyone its Hermione!" shouted her mother while pulling Hermione into a motherly embrace. Tears fell down her face and Hermione's.
"Oh mum I missed you so much," said Hermione. Draco stood there awkwardly. Finally they broke apart and Hermione's mum took a glance at Draco and forced a smile.
Hermione walked into the house with her mother's arm around her shoulder and Draco tailing behind them.
Hermione's house was nothing like the Malfoy Mansion. Draco's mansion was cold, dark and uninviting. Sure it was full of amazing paintings and expensive things but it wasn't exactly what you'd call a nice place to live.
Hermione's house was warm and inviting. It had a nice smell. They also had nice paintings and ornaments but their house was actually a lot better then his mansion even though the mansion was bigger than the house.
Hermione walked into the living room. On the couch sat Hermione's dad, Julie, Andrew, Michael and another pretty girl. Hermione smiled at them embarrassed.
Hermione's father ran up to her and embraced her like her mother did.
"Don't ever leave us again Hermione! I missed you so much!" said her father lovingly. Hermione felt tears forming in her eyes but she broke apart from her father and whipped them away.
Michael walked up to her and hesitated but then pulled her into an awkward hug. When they broke apart Hermione looked over at Draco who was scowling at Michael.
Hermione's mum came back into the room.
"I called the police and told them your home. Now they call of the search," said her mum.
"You sent a search party to go find me?" said Hermione but inside she wasn't surprised. Her parents had always been very protective.
"Why of course! We were so worried!" said Hermione's dad.
"I'm so glad to see you guys! But I only came here to sort some things out," said Hermione sternly. Hermione's parents nodded.
"I'm sorry Hermione but I can't marry you," said Michael, "I'm in love with Natalie."
He gestured to a pretty girl in sitting on the couch. She had hazel eyes and curly chestnut hair. She smiled at him and blushed. Julie and Andrew looked embarrassed.
"Son just take it easy," said Andrew.
"No he's right! I can't marry you either Michael. I'm in love with Draco!" said Hermione.
Hermione's parents frowned and looked at Draco. He smiled encouragingly at Hermione and she returned it.
Andrew, Julie and Hermione's parents looked uncomfortable.
"Maybe we made a mistake when we promised you to each other. I agree we should let them marry who they want," said Andrew. Hermione's dad nodded in agreement but Hermione's mum and Julie hesitated.
"I saved Hermione's life! If it weren't for me your daughter would be dead! Maybe you should think about that?" said Draco angrily. Hermione gave him a look that said thanks but that's enough.
Hermione's mother hesitated again.
"I guess we have no right to choose who you love and marry. I…I…I'm sorry I had to put you through all of this Hermione," said her mother tears falling down her face.
Hermione went and embraced her.
"I just wanted what's best for you Hermione," said her mother through tears.
"I know mum it's okay," said Hermione.
They tore apart and Hermione sat down next to her mother and put her arm around her shoulder.
"Julie I'm sure you're a really nice lady. Do you really want to make your son marry someone he doesn't want to?" said Natalie, speaking for the first time.
Julie looked around for support from Andrew but he shook his head. She gave in.
"I suppose it would be okay if we just called this whole thing off and forget it ever happened," said Julie with a sigh.
Hermione smiled and ran up to Draco and threw her arms around him with such force he almost felt himself being knocked out.
She let go after a while and stood next to him. Hermione's mum and dad smiled at them.
"Well me and Draco have to go," said Hermione. Hermione's parents looked disappointed for second but then smiled and let them go.
"Visit us all the time," said Hermione's mum. Hermione and Draco waved at them then walked out hand in hand.
They stood out on the lawn and kissed. It was kiss so full of love and passion Hermione almost cried.
"Let's go out for lunch!" said Hermione.
"Yeah okay! Where do you want to go? Hogsmeade? Diagon Alley?"
"No. I want to take you a place a used to go to as a kid," said Hermione.
Draco looked uncertain but then nodded.
Hermione walked through the automatic doors of McDonalds. Draco looked scared.
"How did the doors do that? I thought muggles didn't have magic?" said Draco surprised. Hermione laughed.
"It's called electricity," said Hermione.
"Elasticity?" said Draco puzzled. Hermione laughed at him again and he joined in.
They walked up to the counter.
"Hi! Can I get a large fries and a coke? Oh and a Big Mac. Thanks! What do you want Draco?" asked Hermione.
"Why aren't the pictures moving?" Draco asked pointing to the pictures of the foos on the boards behind the counter.
The person at the register looked at Draco like he was a freak.
"Um he'll have the same," said Hermione laughing. She gave the person her money and pulled Draco to a table.
"What is with this place?" said Draco.
"It's called a takeaway restaurant," said Hermione.
"Well it's freaking me out!"
"Here's your food," said the waiter looking puzzled at Draco.
Hermione picked up her Big Mac and unwrapped it. She took a bite and looked out the window.
Draco looked at his food. He picked up a squashy yellow stick and popped it in his mouth. It tasted good!
"Hey Mione'! What's this?" asked Draco pointing to the box of yellow sticks.
"They're called fries!" said Hermione. Draco looked puzzled but shrugged and shovelled some into his mouth.
For a while they had fun eating the strange food. Then they went up to the counter to order soft serves and freak out the person at the register again.
Once they arrived back at their table and they had finished their soft serves they sat for a while talking.
"Well Hermione this has been surprisingly fun! I never thought muggle food could actually taste good!" said Draco. Hermione laughed.
"You're welcome!" said Hermione.
"I'm also glad we came here for another reason. I wanted to give you something."
"And what is that?" asked Hermione. Her heart thumped. She thought she knew what it was.
Draco didn't get down on his knee. He just reached into his pocket and pulled out a a small box and opened it in front of Hermione.
Inside was not a huge large rock, which Draco knew he could afford. He wanted to get her something bigger. Not in size, but in heart.
Inside was a small silver ring with a small amethyst gem dug into it. Hermione gasped.
"Hermione. I know that it's weird that I'm asking you this question in a crappy muggle restaurant but what the hell! I love you and I want to be with you forever! Will you marry me?"
Hermione smiled and nodded. A single tear fell down her face and she embraced him and relived the kiss they had shared on her parent's lawn. Except this time, she really was crying.
That's the end of the chapter! Next chapter is the last chapter not including the Epilogue. So all in all there's about 2 more chapters left. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was corny but that's how I wanted it to be. The last chapters will be very corny but I might add some funny parts to it. Anyway thanks for all the reviews. I am so grateful! Thanks again. See you next chapter!
