Hermione stared at the pink invite in distaste. She didn't know why her mother would send it to her, considering she would hate everyone there. No matter how many times she would try to play nice with her fathers family, they never did the same.

"Good morning love. What's that?"

Hermione glanced at her husband as he entered the kitchen. He kissed her forehead and walked over to the other side of the kitchen to make some coffee.

"My mother sent us an invite."

Draco looked up in surprise. If Jean ever had something to give them she would usually wait for Sunday when the couple would come over for dinner.

"What is it?"

"An invite." Hermione said the words like they were poison. "To a family reunion."

Draco understood her expression of disgust. When creating the guest list for their wedding, Hermione refuses to invite anyone but her parents from her side. When he asked why, she told him of how they would bully her and make her go cry to her mother. All because her mother's family is 'too poor'. Which isn't even remotely true as they are also rich. They just aren't as rich as the Grangers.

" I'm sorry darling. Are we going?" Draco knew that Hermione didn't want to go, but she loved her mother so if she wanted them to go, then they would go.

Hermione sighed but nodded. "Where is it being held?"

At this she smirked a smirk that mirrored her husbands.

"The Lioness and the Serpent."
