Hermione Granger sat on her bed, taking in everything in her bedroom, from the Lavender coloured wallpaper to the Cedarwood bookcase that stood near the window to the Floral printed curtains that hung from the windows overlooking the front lawn of the house. This was probably the last time she was looking at these things, because tomorrow morning she will leave this house to go to the Pinewood Park and from there she will go to Draco's house and after a few weeks her parents will move back to France, selling this house. Hermione was sad to hear that she will no longer be able to call this house her home but she didn't want to stop her parents from fulfilling their wishes, they had already sacrificed a lot for her . Draco, bless him, had wanted to buy the house but she couldn't let him do that, he already had a lot to deal (he had a home loan to pay)with, and didn't have that much money to spare. She was extremely proud of him for offering to do so. He had changed a lot and she was happy about each and every change in him. He was a new person and she knew that she wouldn't have anybody else as her life partner. She felt as if she had been blessed by having Draco in her life. Hermione had never been one to dream about price charmings and fairy-tale weddings, her dreams mainly consisted of academic brilliance and promising career opportunities. Marriage and family came after that. That is why she was extremely grateful to her stars for guiding her towards Draco. Now she had everything a girl wants in her life, a perfect life partner, a home (that had a picket fence!) and a dog . She was content with her life . She was in a happy place in her life. She didn't have any complaints or any unfulfilled wishes except - well, she missed her friends. They had stopped talking to her since they came to know about her relationship with Draco. Draco had tried to fix this though, being the dear he is, but Harry and Ginny had not listened to him and Ron- no! She was not going to think about Ron. She didn't miss him , probably because she didn't count him as her friend anymore. He had proven that he was not worthy of her friendship too many times to be counted as a friend. In that context, Harry and Ginny were not worthy of being called her friends but she didn't want to be friendless and it was a fact that Harry and Ginny were her only friends (not counting Luna, but ever since Luna had started on her trip around the world, looking for magical creatures, contacting her had been a little bit of a challenge ) so she couldn't lose them. Therefore, she ignored their faults. She had left the Wizarding world after the war, so she didn't have any kind of connection with her other classmates (not that she could just sit next to them and start talking about everything in the world). She had been depressed at that point of her life, it took tremendous amount of time and effort from Draco's side to make her normal . Hermione had always found it strange that Draco was able to do what books (which in her opinion , held the remedy for any problem humans came across) were unable to do . She admitted, embarrassingly, how she had gone to the local library and had brought home a few books on depression and how they had failed to help her. Draco had come into her life as an old enemy changed into a friend and had helped her overcome her depression. He had also helped her in earning forgiveness from her parents who were extremely mad at her when they had learnt about her modifying their memory. Ever since she had met Malfoy after the war, she had found him beside her in each and every stage of her life and she was thankful for that.
