Mother-in-law
Fluff to follow Calm
"Draco, I can't do this! I really can't!"
Draco snorted. "Hermione you act as if you haven't met my mother before. Come on then, she loves you."
Hermione shook her head. "Your mother may love me, but I don't think my future mother-in-law is going to have the same feelings.
Draco stared at her in shock and amusement. "Hermione, love, you have been around my parents a dozen times or more by now. Plus, they know you from our childhood. Do you honestly think they don't know that I was going to propose to you? I had to have access to the vaults to get the ring!"
Hermione cringed. "Your parents hated me when we were children. How in the world can they think we are a good match now? They don't! Especially your mother!"
"Hermione…"
"And you are an only child! You are Narcissa's baby boy! I'll never be good enough for you in her eyes! Oh, for heaven's sake, I just need to give you this ring back right now! I can't deal with this heartbreak!"
"Granger!"
She stared at him in shock that he would raise his voice to her in that manner. "Draco?"
"Hermione Jean Granger. You are the love of my life and my perfect match. Regardless of our pasts we were always meant to be together. My parents love you as much as I do now quit spiraling out of control!"
Hermione threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his waist in a deep hug. "I love you Draco."
He kissed the top of her head. "And I love you Hermione," he paused. "I would also like to remind you that you are a singular child as well and I had to ask your bloody parents if I could propose to you! My situation was infinitely worse!"
Hermione glanced up at him and grinned. "After dinner I'll have to make it up to you. Maybe in your childhood bedroom?"
Draco's eyes glazed over with lust. "One of my favorite fantasies," he said hoarsely.
