Disclaimer: I own nothing. The great J.K. Rowling does. I wished I owned Draco though. The things I would and could do to that boy.
Sorry it took me so long but the flamers decided to try and discourage me in writing my story. If they don't like it, then don't read it.
The Reception:
Hermione and Draco couldn't be happier. They were finally man and wife. They were together forever. You see, in the wizarding world, once you get married, you can never get divorced or remarry if the other one dies. But today, Hermione and Draco didn't give that law a single thought. They were just happy that their wedding went off without a hitch. Well, any major ones. No one died. Yet, at least. Draco was still pissed off at Pansy and Ron for their outbursts during the ceremony. Why do they have to be such assholes? They say that they just want us to be happy and then when we are, they think that they can turn around and ruin it.
He looked out at Hermione; she was dancing with his father. Well, at least they seem to be getting along. I may hate my father and everything he stands for, but what he stands for brought me to Hermione. So I guess that he can't be all that bad. The way that he treats me and my mother is just wrong. Now that I'm not in the house anymore, I'm afraid that he'll end up killing her. He won't, if I have anything to do about it. He won't hurt anyone ever again. Draco got up out of his seat and walked over to his wife and father.
"May I cut in Father?"
"Yes, I guess my conversation with Hermione is over."
"Thank you Father."
"Hermione, we need to talk."
"Ok, what about?"
"How would you feel if my mother came to live with us?"
"Why would she leave your father?"
"He beats her and I think that if she comes to live with us, it might just save her life."
"I don't see why not. I've heard some horror stories about mother-in-laws, but I actually like your mum. I hope to be like her one day."
"She's done more stuff in her life that if I was her, I wouldn't be too proud of."
"I want to be the caring mother that she is. She loves you Draco, more than words can express. I want to be like her in that respect. I wish that I knew who my mother was but my father won't talk about it."
"I wish I could tell you about her, but I know about as much as you do."
"I understand, Draco."
"I've also been thinking about our Dark Mark. I don't want to get it."
"Why not?"
"I've seen what it did to my parents and I don't want to be anyone's servant. I want to live my life on my own terms, not your fathers. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I want to be on Dumbledore's side in all this either. I just want to stay neutral and raise our family and move on with my life."
"You know that we can't do that. My father will send out the Death Eaters to find us and kill us and our child. I don't want to be running for the rest of our lives."
"I understand Mi, but you're stronger than this. You're in Gryffindor for Merlin's sake; you're supposed to be brave and courageous. I'd think of all people, you would be up for this more than I am. You are important to this cause. Whichever way you go, the war will go. I'm not sure if I want to go to the light side, but I will not fight for the dark side. I don't plan to spend my life in Azkaban because of what our parent's believed in."
"I guess that you're right, Draco. But I will not hide. I will just simply tell my father that I don't want to get the mark before graduation. It'll jeopardize his plan. And during the year, we'll just give him false information. I have a child to think of now, and I don't want to do anything that could cause me to go to Azkaban. My father will understand. It is his grandchild, you know, and he wouldn't want to harm it in anyway."
From a dark corner of the elaborate ballroom, they were being watched. Pansy. She wanted to kill them for loving each other, for hurting her, for making her look like a fool in front of half the school. She wanted to make them pay for everything that they ever did to her. She knew that she couldn't do that here, that would be too risky. Not with all the important people here. But one day, one day soon, she was going to make them pay.
Ron was in another corner of the room, thinking the same thing and sulking. Why did I break up with her? She could have helped me with the Auror training. She could have made me happy for the rest of my life. But know she is with the stupid ferret boy Malfoy. I can tell that she loves him and she's happy. But I want her to pay for everything that she ever did to me to cause me pain and humiliation. I want them both to pay. I'll kill her when I have the chance. I don't care if I go to Azkaban. The dementors can't hurt me. I have already lost all the happiness in my life. She was my happiness. The kiss will be a relief for me. It'll get her out of my life forever. But until then, things will continue to be the same as they always have been. Friends, or at least us trying to be. And once I get her to trust me, I'll kill her and her husband too.
After the party was over, Draco and Hermione went up to his room and got out of their wedding clothes. They didn't know where they were going to go on their honeymoon; they hadn't really had the time to discuss it. Between meetings with her father, the planning for the wedding, and the doctor's visits to make sure the baby is ok, they really never did have time to discuss that.
"So, Mi, where did you want to go on our honeymoon?"
"Some place tropical, I'm tired of all the rain around here. I'm surprised it didn't rain today during the wedding."
"How about Paris? I like it there."
"Nope, I hate Paris. I've been there once and the people were really rude. I don't feel like going there again."
"Ok, I guess the Bahamas for a week. And then we'll already have our stuff packed for school and we can apparate to Hogsmeade and then go up to the school."
"Ok, I can't wait! When are we going to the Bahamas?"
"Tomorrow right after we get up. But tonight is our wedding night. I have a few gifts for you."
He levitated a small little package and then a bigger one onto the bed. The smaller package had a beautiful emerald and garnet ring with a silver and gold band. It matched their wedding bands perfectly.
"I'm sorry that I never got you a real engagement ring, so I hope that this makes up for it. It's our house colors together. They blend very well together, don't you think?"
She sat there with tears in her eyes. "It's gorgeous. I love it."
"Open the other package now please."
The other package had a green silk bra and panty set in it with her initials on them. HEM. Hermione Elizabeth Malfoy. The box also had a maroon pair in there.
"Those are for school, so you can match your house colors."
"Oh Draco, thank you. I have some gifts for you too."
She levitated two packages in there also. One was about the size of a garment box and the other one was in the shape of a broom.
Draco opened the broom like package first. "Merlin, it's a Firebolt! I've wanted one of these since Potter received one during third year. And it's black and green like my house colors. Thank you Mi."
"I figured the next Slytherin Quidditch captain should have the best broom in the world."
He opened the next package. There were red and green silk boxers with his initials on them.
"I guess that we have the same taste in underwear."
"There's more in there baby."
He moved the green tissue paper around and found a small little coupon book, like the ones little kids make for their parents on Mother's and Father's day, saying that they'll do this and that for them. But this one said 'Love Coupons'.
"What are these for?"
"Open the booklet up and see."
There was one for an erotic back massage, one for a bubble bath, one for a hand job, one for a blow job, one for the ride of his life, and one for unlimited kisses and hugs whenever he wanted.
"I love it and I love you."
"I love you too, Draco."
"Mi, get up for a minute. I want to show you something in the next room."
He pulled her off the bed and went into the room right beside them. It was decorated in Slytherin and Gryffindor colors. Then she saw the bassinette in gold and silver.
"This is the baby's room when they come to visit their grandparents."
"Draco, it's wonderful. I know that the baby will love it."
"Draco, Hermione, what are you doing?"
Lucius was behind them, listening to their every word.
Thank you to everyone who has stood by me through all the flames and everything. I'm not going to let them control my story anymore. Just as a warning and a little spoiler, someone will die in the next few chapters. I'm not going to tell you who, but someone will die.
