So Draco was walking so fast towards the Slytherin Common Room it probably couldn't even be considered walking. Blaise trailed behind him attempting to keep up and breathe at the same time. In all his years he had never seen Draco so worked up over something Pansy had done. He'd admit this was pretty bad but Granger was a mudblood and Draco had always hated mudbloods. Whilst stopping to catch his breathe he suddenly realised. Draco was actually falling for Granger.
"Hey mate you wanna slow down a bit?" He yelled after the ever distance Draco.
"Why don't you keep up? Don't tell me your getting weak on me." He said with a smirk.
"Me weak never. Let's go, I can't let you go to Azkaban the day before your wedding, I am your best man after all."
"Oh shit. I forgot to ask you. Thanks mate."
They continued on their way down the windings corridors and up and down the seemingly endless stairs. Until they finally made it to the entrance of the Slytherin Common Room.
"Scorpions," was all Draco muttered as the portrait swing open.
Some third year Slytherins saw him enter and immediately left the room. When he entered the main area there were only a few sixth years, along with Pansy and Astoria. Draco came so close to almost ripping her head of her shoulders. A steady hand on his shoulder from Blaise was all that was stopping him. He knew how to hurt her more than anyone else. After all the girl was head over heels in love with him and how do you punish someone like that. You remove the thing they love from their life.
"Pansy Parkinson, you are uninvited from my wedding. I no longer wish to associate with you and you will not talk to or approach me or my future wife. You are a disgraceful person and not to mention utterly stupid."
Pansy sat that her smile fading to an obvious frown. "What the hell are you talking about Draco? What have I ever done to you?"
"You hurt my fiance and you weren't smart enough to do it and not get caught."
She simply looked disappointed with herself. There were no smart retorts simply a saddened Pansy Parkinson.
"Draco, I didn't mean to. I was just angry and hurt that you would marry such a filthy bitch. How could you? After everything you would leave me for a mudblood?"
"In case you didn't know I'm forced to marry her Pansy. Even if I wasn't I would still choose her over you. We were never together so therefore there was no choice. It was and always will be Hermione Granger and never Pansy Parkinson. So stay away from me."
With that he and Blaise walked up stairs to the room they shard. Draco slammed the door behind him and sat on the his bed.
"Blaise, what's wrong with me?"
"Mate, I think your in love with Granger."
"I just told Pansy to get lost for good. How long until she does something drastic do you reckon?"
"Knowing Pansy at most I'd give her a week. Least expect your wedding to be ruined."
Hermione at this point was still sitting in the hospital wing waiting for the all clear to leave. She had just swallowed a rather awful potion given to her by Madame Pomfrey. It was meant to bring down the swelling and the bruising within a few hours in hopes she would look better before her wedding. In a little over 12 hours she would be getting ready for the biggest day in her life, the day she would become legally bound to Draco Malfoy. She knew her feelings towards him had changed but no where near as much as she needed to willingly want to marry him.
"Hermione, how are you feeling?" She heard from the blonde behind her.
"Draco, where'd you run off to in such a hurry?" She asked some what confused.
"I had some simple business to attend to nothing overly important."
"I don't know if I can marry you." That's it she'd said, she couldn't believe she'd said it but she had.
"Hermione, I just declared to Pansy Parkinson that I would choose you over her no matter the circumstances and that she meant nothing to me. Please don't tell me I just told the girl who loves me more than my mother to fuck off to find my fiance no longer wishes to marry me."
"Draco, I do want to marry you but I just, I'm nervous."
"I know what your nervous about," he replied with his cocky smirk and suggestive wink.
All Hermione could do was look down because the truth was she was nervous about having to sleep with someone she did not love. When she didn't reply Draco realised that, that was in fact the reason why she was nervous about their upcoming nuptials.
"Hermione, you know you shouldn't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you and we can take our time. Unfortunately the law says we have to consummate the marriage the night of the wedding," his voice trailed off as he realised that Hermione was silently sobbing into her hands. He walked over and sat on the bed next to her lightly holding her hand. Hermione looked up from her tears to see Draco looking up at her.
"Hermione, I don't want a life like my parents. I want to have a life that I'm proud of and I want to love my wife and have children with her. Do you think that's possible?"
"I think it's possible Draco." With that Draco kissed her hand and walked out of the room. He needed his sleep after all he was getting married tomorrow. Hermione did the same dreaming of her future with her soon to be husband Draco Malfoy.
