Here's what you've been waiting for..

*HM pov*

I let myself in through the front door, and headed towards tea room, "Grandma, I'm back!" I say loudly.

"We're in here dear," I hear her call. Who's WE? I wondered who it will be, as I made my way to the room.

"Hello sweetie," my grandmum* said as I walked into the room.

"Hello Grandmum," I said in shock as I sat down in my chair.

"Don't be mad Mione. I wrote to Trina, and told her about your fight with Draco. She wanted to stop by, because she has a couple of things to say," Grandma said a bit unsure of herself.

I nodded. Sure I wasn't as close to my Grandmum as most granddaughters are, but that was because I didn't even know she existed until this year. Still everyone knows that all Grandmas love to help out their grandchildren when they can with problems.

"Now Hermione, I heard you're having some problems with Draco," she said as she sipped some of her tea.

"Yes, we are having some problems. Did my Grandma tell you exactly what happened, or do I need to fill you in on the whole story?" I asked.

"She told me everything that you told her. If that's the whole story there seems to be a few details missing?" She said with a glance at my Grandma. I bet they've been discussing this since this morning after I left. I am one of their favorite subjects

"What do you mean missing?" I asked.

"Well, there was never actually a confession of him cheating on you, and Draco may be a lot of things. He's not someone to lie so someone's feelings don't get hurt," she reasoned.

"He was also such a sweetheart last time he was here. Can you really trust what his ex-girlfriend says?" Asked my Grandma.

"Well, she was in the house," I tried to fight back.

My Grandmas looked at each other, "Hermione, don't over react, but we invited Narcissa over for lunch to get the whole story," Grandma explained.

"We just wanted to make sure you weren't fighting fate," Grandmum reasoned.

"So, what clues did you two brilliant detectives come up with?" I asked with a smile. There was no reason to get mad, since they were only doing this because they loved me.

"It's funny you should ask," my Grandmum said with a smile, "Narcissa was very distressed after she heard of your leaving. Imagine her anger towards her son when she thought he had messed up the 'one good thing that has happened to us since Voldemort came back.' But then she found out it was their house elf that let the girl in. She said she was about to let the house elf go, when Draco said it was all a misunderstanding that could be talked through," she finished.

"Ginger?" was all I could ask.

"Yes, I think that was her name," my Grandma nodded.

"What else did Narcissa say?" I asked in a bit of a daze.

"She was talking about how she was worried about Draco. He's been a bit bad tempered lately, but she also is worried about what Lucius will say. Apparently he's started to like you, and thinks you're good for the boy. Even though you weren't raised pureblood, Lucius feels you keep him in line," Grandmum said with a smile.

"Lucius Malfoy likes me?" I ask in shock.

"Yes, I was quite surprised at that also Hermione," my Grandma chipped in, "I remember all those stories while you were at school about the mean Malfoy family. How much they hated you. I guess I should have known he liked you, since you have fallen for his son. I would have thought it would have taken longer for you to like him considering your past, but maybe it's because you're meant for each other."

"But Emily" I started, but yet again I didn't get much in.

"Oh Hermione, this situation reminds me so much of Stephen and Chrissy. When I look back now, all the clues were there. They fell in love against all odds, and went for it. They knew they couldn't fight fate. Everything Emily said doesn't add up, and you should see that now," Grandmum finished.

I looked back and forth between the two. Their story had to be true. it matched what Draco said earlier. Maybe Grandmum was right. Maybe, just maybe I'm fighting something. I'm not so sure about fate, but I'm definitely against something.

I took one last sip of my tea, and set it down, "I guess I should go to the Manor and talk with Draco." My Grandmas smile at each other as I stood up to leave, "I'll see you two later, but I'm going upstairs to go get my stuff."

I walked up the stairs and put the few things I had unpacked in my bag. Should I just apparate, or floo. I'm not sure. I went back downstairs and said goodbye to my grandmas and floo'ed to the Manor. With a flash of green I arrived at the Malfoy's home, and I heard someone hurrying over to see who it was.

"Ginger! Was that the floo? I thought we made it that only people that lived here could floo!? You better hurry to see who it is," I heard Narcissa call from somewhere.

With a CRACK Ginger was standing in front of me, "Can Gingy help you? Mistress!" She finished excitedly.

"Ginger, WHO is it?" Asked Narcissa. I could tell she was coming closer.

"Gingy hopes that Mistress knows how sorry she is for letting Emily in The Manor. Gingy has been punished," She assured me.

I just nodded, because I knew that was what was expected. Wasn't it a big step for the Malfoy's not to fire her, "I know Gingy. I'm not mad at you."

"Oh thank you Mistress," She said.

"GINGER! WHO IS IT?" Narcissa practically yelled as she came in the room. When she saw it was me she paused, and smiled, "Why hello there Hermione. I've missed having you around. It's been nice, finally having another girl in the house. Are you here to see Draco, or get your stuff," She said the last thing very quietly.

I smiled at her, "I've missed you too. I was just wondering if Draco was home?"

"Oh!" She smiled wider, "He's in the library. I'm sure you can find your way."

"Okay, thanks," I said as I headed towards the stairs and made my way through the house. I opened the door to the very familiar library and made my way to his favorite chair. It was surprisingly a red chair with a tall back. I was also surprised to see what he was reading, Pride and Prejudice.

"Good book?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah, it actually is," he replied without looking up.

"What's your favorite part?" I asked.

"Well, when" he paused and looked up at me, "Hermione?"

"You never answered my question?" I asked with a small smile.

"I can't believe you're here. Oh and I haven't finished the book, so I can't answer that," he said as he looked at me with surprise.

"Oh, I see," I said as I turned towards the closest book self and started to examine the books.

"So you came to get some books?" He asked as he stood up and closed his, "Remember this isn't a library, so you can take as many books as you want," he joked as he started to walk towards the exit.

"Actually Draco, I came here to talk to you," I said as I turned to face him.

He looked shocked for a second, cleared his throat, and put no emotion on his face, "Really? You made it clear earlier that you didn't want to hear anything I had to say."

"Yeah, I figured I should listen, since multiple people are telling me that you're telling the truth."

"I just wanted to say, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. Just so you know my mum has made it so Emily can't ever break into the Manor again," Draco said looking a bit uncomfortable.

I pretended to look shocked, "Did Draco Malfoy just APOLOGIZE to me? I don't believe this. I never thought the day would ever come."

He turned towards me with a smile, "If you keep bringing it up, then it will never happen again."

"Well, I'm not going to plan on it happeneing again anyways. It's a once and a life time occurance," I said with a smile, and turned back to the book shelf to find something to read until dinner, "Oh and Draco, do you want to go to Luna, and Rolf's wedding with me?" I asked him as he started to leave.

"Isn't Rolf the nice guy from the Weasley dinner?" He asked with a smirk.

"Yeah him, and they're get married next Tuesday," I said giving him a questioning look.

"Yeah, I'll be there," he said with a smile.

"It'll be fun," I said as I turned back to the book shelf. Eventually I decided on a potions book, so I started towards my bedroom.

"Hermione!" Draco called from behind me.

"Yes?" I asked, as I turned around to face him.

"I know I told you everything about the misunderstanding, but I just want to make sure you know that I would never do that to you. Not with Emily, or anyone else, and to show you I'm serious I got you something," He paused and kneeled down, "Hermione Granger will you marry me?" He finished with that handsome smile, that takes my breath away.

"You do remember, that my last name isn't Granger, right?" I asked with a smile.

"You'll be Granger to me, until your last name is Malfoy," he said as he pulled out the ring, "What do you say?"

"Of course I will," I said with a smile, and held out my hand. He put a beautiful ring on my finger, and looked at me with a smile. That was like the 5th time he's smiled in the last ten minutes, it must be a record! He should smile more often though, he's so handsome when he does.

"Let's get ready for dinner. If we're late, my mum will murder us. Plus we need to tell her we're engaged officially," he said as he held out his arm. I linked mine through his, and we continued down the hall.

"You do realize we've been officially engaged since we got the marriage law letters," I asked.

"You know what I meant," He said with a sigh.

"I was actually very confused," I joked.

"That's a lie, you're the smartest person I know. Besides myself of course," He said with a smirk.

I laughed. Draco and I could have such a great time together. I decided I'll give Draco one more chance, but if he messes it up. I don't care what the law says, I won't put up with it.

Hermione getting engaged in the library! haha I couldnt help myself. Review!
