Chapter 2: How things changed
There is something in the cool breeze of the night that seems to relax even the most troubled minds. The wind sing a soothing melody to you and the starry night acts as a blanket giving comfort and warmth. This is exactly what Hermione needed to take her mind away from her worries but no matter how hard she tries she couldn't seem to forget the feel of Draco's lips on her. She could still feel the tingle in her lips, the shiver that went through her when he innocently parted her lips so that there tongues could dance together. She felt warm and safe when he held her close to his body, the kiss forever sealing the promise that he would never leave her side and yet demanding the same from her. And when those eyes opened to look at her after the kiss, there were so many emotions in them that she couldn't identify. It made her burn to the core. Then he whisked her away to the grand ballroom for the wedding reception.
"You can't stay here the whole dance is going to start soon."
"Harry! How did you find me here?"
"Well I followed you. Please don't mind."
"Its okay Harry. I just need some fresh air."
"We better hurry back to the ballroom. Malfoy's started looking for you. Seems like he doesn't like it at all if you are away from his sight. You look beautiful tonight, Hermione. If I were in his place even I would be obsessing" A teasing smile playing on his lips.
"Malfoys don't obsess Harry. They get what they want to fullfill their purpose. Lets see for what he is going to use you find anything?"
"No. He is clean. He has no relation with the dark side and as I have said before he is fully cooperating with the ministry so that the remaining death eaters who escaped can be arrested."
Hermione let out a sign of relief. "lets go inside"
"Take a seat Gin. Don't keep standing. Its not good for you and the baby"
"I am not physically handicapped Harry. Don't treat me like a baby. Am old enough to have one. I was searching for were you?" asked Ginny
"In the balcony with Hermione"
"Is she alright?"
"Yes, she is a strong woman"
"I can't help but feel good after seeing the gold light. Hermione deserves happiness for getting into this marriage to save my family and I think mum is very happy to see the gold light instead of black like she expected"
"Many here are surprised to witness that, me included."
"Who would expect two former enemies hating each other with passion finding love and having a happy ending."
"Its just the beginning Ginny. Hermione and Draco both deserve happiness after what they have gone through."
"Having a soft spot for Malfoy now."
"Yes, I believe he suffered more than me during the war and is still suffering because of some people prejudice towards his name and his decision to work for the light side. I had you, my friends and so many people supporting me during the war. But he was alone and yet he fought for our side. Its because of him that I could defeat Voldemort. I think its time we included him in our family."
"Are you okay?" asked Ginny understanding her husband's emotion heavy tone. During the war Malfoy had to pay a heavy price after Voldemort discovered his alliance with the light side. Voldemort took the perfect revenge by kidnapping Narcissa, the one person Draco loved and cared for. Narcissa became a captive in her own house Malfoy Manor where she was repeatedly raped by her husband, Voldemort and the Death Eaters. The cruciatus curse of Bellatrix sent her over the edge. The one month that she spent there before we could save her had turned her into an empty shell like Neville's parents. She is now being treated in St. Mungo's mental ward but there is not much hope for her recovery. Harry blamed himself for her state saying if only they had gone to Draco's house faster than the Death Eaters they could have saved her. Draco never opened up to anyone regarding this matter (not that he does open up to anyone). He just said to Harry that he did what he could and not to blame himself. During the final war, Draco got his revenge by killing his father who lead the operation to kidnap Narcissa.
"Yes"
Ginny didn't say anything much because she knew Harry will come to terms with what happened as time passed just like Draco but she wasn't ready for what he said next.
"You know something Gin. He loves her." said Harry looking at Draco and Hermione dancing in the dance floor.
"What? How can you say that?"
"Notice Gin. Notice carefully and you will see he is a man possessed with love"
Hermione felt like she was floating in the air. The whole world seem to have disappeared for her and it was just her and Draco. She could feel his hand in hers, his thumb gently caressing her back that seems to sooth her and his eyes looking at her making her feel so warm inside. They both were gliding in the dance floor and Hermione didn't want it to end. But soon the song ended and they were joined by there guest. Draco took her away from the crowd when she saw Molly. Draco sensing her took her to Molly.
"Hello Hermione, Draco dear. Congrats. It is a lovely wedding. Both be happy in life."said Molly in an affectionate voice.
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley. Do you mind taking care of Hermione. I have a few business delegates with whom I want to talk and I don't want Hermione to get bored."
"Ohh..No problem dear."
With that Draco took leave from them. Hermione silently thanking him for understanding her need to talk with Molly alone.
"Hermione dear you look so gorgeous tonite"
"Thanks Molly"
"Ohh dear I should be thanking you for what you did for us. Its because of you that we were saved from losing our house and my son or else the loan sharks would have killed my son"
"Molly you understand that I consider the Weasleys my family. Its my only family now since I have lost my parents. I would do anything to protect you all."
"I know dear and we would always love you but now you have someone with whom to start your own family. I think we all need a fresh beginning and I am so happy to know you and Draco will be happy together." Said Molly indicated to the gold light in the wedding ceremony.
" I hope so Molly" said Hermione in a skeptic smile.
" You will see dear. Every marriage has its ups and downs. Mine had too. But remember dear no matter what happens do not give up on your marriage. It takes effort to make things me dear"
" I promise Molly I won't give up hope on making this marriage work"
Molly gently caressed her cheek and kissed her on the forehead.
"I think its time for you both to cut the cake"
Hermione had hardly had any food from her dinner plate. She couldn't help but be anxious about tonight. They had to consummate their wedding tonight according to wizarding law which was mandatory or they would be expelled from the magical world. It was necessary so that the magic associated with magical wedding could take effect. It sealed their fate for the rest of there life and they could never separate after that. There was no divorce in magical world.
Hermione had not thought of tonight at all with so many things already occupying her mind until l she joined her girlfriends after cutting the cake( Ginny, Luna, Parvati sisters and lavender) talking about there wedding night. Now she was beyond anxious. You would ask why? Because she was a virgin. Even though she had been in relationship twice with Victor Krum and Ron, she was old school and believed in saving herself for her husband. Most of them assumed she and Ron had been physical (especially because of Ron's fat lies). Maybe even Draco things the same.
"Why are you not eating? Are you sick?" Draco's voice cut through her musing.
"No I am not hungry"
"Please have something" Even though he said this in a monotonous voice it still held some care which others would believe as being indifferent and saying for the sake of it.
Hermione silently ate her food deciding to take things as they come.
A/N: The end of another chapter. Let me know what you thought about it. I am sorry for changing the chapter like this. I won't do it again. Now the next chapter with contain a lot of smut. Hope to update soon.
