Draco and Hermione were on the train together on their way to platform 9 ¾ ready to start their Christmas Holiday. "Hermione if you were going to marry someone who would it be?" Draco asked her. "I would marry someone who cares about me and loves me and will stay with me for the rest of my life and build a family with me." She said. And then the train slowed to a stop and they went their separate ways to greet their familys.
Draco was at Malfoy manner, and was thinking about how to approach his family about wanting to marry Hermione not knowing what their reactions would be. Once he finally decided he went to find them in the sitting room and said, "mom, dad, I want to talk to you about something serious." They hesitated wondering what it was he wanted to talk to them about and then Draco broke the silence by continuing, "I want to marry someone." They looked at each other in shock then Narcissa said with a smile, " well who is this girl you are planning on marrying?" he hesitated wondering how they would take this then said, "I want to marry Hermione Granger." They jumped up from their seats from shock and then Lucius hollered, "THE MUDBLOOD!" But then Narcissa said in a warning voice to Lucius, "No matter how much I disagree about this choice that my son has made but this is his to decide and I don't think he appreciates you calling her a mudblood." After that Lucius seemed to calm down a little and then agreed that it was his choice to make and decided that he wasn't going to get in the way of it. Then he said, "Ok, if you insist on marrying her then how can I help." Once Draco heard that he was relieved and then said, "you can help my pick out the ring." Lucius nodded and then sat back down and said, "When shall we go." And Draco replied, "As soon as possible." And then they were done.
