Chapter 13 – You are meeting my parents! Deal With it!

"Granger!" Hermione heard him call out as she walked out of the room of requirement. She gave a quick glance around to make sure no one was looking before she ducked around the corner. Before she knew it she was pulled close and a pair of warm, familiar lips captured hers.

"Draco." Hermione gasped as she pulled away, "Some one could see us."

"I don't care anymore, why have you been ignoring me?"

"I haven't been ignoring you I just haven't had time, we've been busy with –"

"Yeah, yeah, I know – your little rebellion against Umbridge but you couldn't have spared one moment to send me a letter or something?"

"I'm sorry-"

"And now it's Christmas holidays and your going home and I'm staying here-"

"Wait, why are you staying at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked with worry, she only now noticed the dark bags under his eyes and the distraught look of his hair.

Draco stayed silent as he let go of her, looking down at his feet as he tried to avoid the question.

"Draco, what's wrong?"

"My father he's… he's just been really bad lately according to mum, she doesn't want me to come home for Christmas, she wants me to stay here, God, I wish I could just go home and be there for her."

"What… What did he do?"

"He… it doesn't matter. Look, I just wanted to see you before you left that's all." His voice was soft as he looked up at her with a sorrowful expression.

"Draco…" She said softly as she took a step forward, taking his hand in hers and bringing it to her chest, "Look at me please." Draco was now looking at her with an unreadable expression, "What if…" She started.

"What?" Draco asked softly.

"Why don't you come home with me?"

A huge grin broke out on Draco's face as he let out a small laugh, "You're funny."

"I'm serious."

Draco's smile dropped and his voice turned to worry, "But that means… I have to meet your… your…" He couldn't get out the words.

"My parents? Yeah, that means you'll have to meet my parents, but I want you to meet my parents."

"Why? They'll hate me!"

"Why would they hate you? I don't hate you."

"Yeah but you're my girlfriend – that's different and it's not really your mother I'm worried about it's…" His eyes widened with fear at just the thought.

"My father?" Hermione went into a fit of giggles. "You can't be serious?"

"I am! Fathers never approve of their daughters boyfriends! It's a fact!"

"You're being stupid Draco."

"No I'm not!"

"Look, I'll send my parents an owl tonight so they can make up the guest room. Have your bags packed by the last train tomorrow; we'll meet up when we get off at platform 9 ¾. I will not let my boyfriend spend his Christmas, sitting in the Slytherin Dorms, alone, worrying about his mum. Ok? You're coming with me whether you like it or not!" With that Hermione placed a quick kiss on his speechless lips and left.

Draco stood at the platform and waited for Hermione, as the crowd started to disperse he saw her looking for him, she was wearing a dark green cardigan and black jeans, her hair was out and was falling perfectly around her shoulders. A huge smile spreading across her face as she caught site of him. She picked up her pace and the next thing he knew her arms were around his neck, her fingers in his hair as her lips crashed against his. The moment of passion was over to quickly as Hermione pulled back with a huge smile, "You came."

"Of course I came." He hummed back as he kissed the tip of her nose, getting an excited giggle out of her.

"Come on, we've got to catch another train." Hermione said as she dragged him through to the muggle station.

With in the next half hour Draco and Hermione had ended up on a train to Hermione's hometown. Hermione lying back against Draco as the train took off, both of them soon falling asleep to the rhythmic sound of the train tracks underneath them.

Hermione grinned to herself as she looked over her sleeping boyfriend, she had to suppress a laugh, his face was pressed against the window and his hair was sticking up completely on one side. She picked up her backpack, already have shrunken Draco's and put it inside before slightly shaking him awake.

"Draco. Wake up. It's time to get off the train."

Draco groaned in annoyance before rubbing his eyes as he woke up. He looked at her in annoyance, "Do I really have to meet your parents?"

Hermione rolled her eyes as she grabbed his hand and dragged him off the train.

"Hermione!" A woman said with joy as she brought Hermione into a warm hug.

"Hi Mum!" Hermione said as she hugged her back. The women's eyes lit up as she noticed Draco.

"This must be the boy I've been hearing so much about."

Hermione grinned as she introduced them, "Draco this is my mum, Louisa Granger. Mum this is Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend."

"Hello Mrs Granger, it's nice to meet you." Draco said curtly as he went to shake the woman's hand but was surprise when she brought him into a warm hug.

"Don't be silly dear, call me Louisa!"

Draco rubbed the back of his neck nervously as she let him out of the hug, looking over at Hermione as he blushed redder than a tomato.

But the next thing he knew Hermione was squealing with Joy as a tall, dark haired man with glasses picked her up and spun her around a few times. "Dad! PUT ME DOWN!"

Hermione was soon placed on the ground.

"Missed you Mia!"

"Dad, there's someone I want you to meet." Hermione said with joy as she led him over to Draco.

He was petrified with fear as Hermione introduced him to her father. "Draco this my dad, Charles Granger. Dad, this is Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend."

Her father's expression turned hard as he eyed Draco, his hand coming out and shaking Draco's.

"It's good to meet you sir… You're daughter is an amazing girl, very smart and brave."

A small smile cracked on the man's face, "Please, Draco, call me Charles."
