Chapter 24
Malfoy Manor was just as Hermione had remembered it. She offten wondered how Draco bared living there for his childhood ,as she had been tortured there she didn't understand how anyone could know the place as home.
The blond and brunette walked ,hand in hand, up to the large front door. Draco raised his gloved hand to knock. Never had he thought he would be knocking on this door again.
Not a minute later, Narcissa Malfoy opened the door. She embraced her son with great affection. When Narcissa had released him, her eyes landed on Hermione's stomach. A cold beam of sweat broke out across Hermione's forehead. Oh no. Oh god this was a terrible idea! She thought.
To Hermione's shock, Narcissa embraced her also. Hermione awkwardly hugged back. The Gryiffindor wasn't quite sure how to act.
"Come me. You two must be freezing" Her voice was softer and more inviting than Draco had remembered.
The two stumbled in the door to the welcoming smell of many different foods. The warmth air fit their faces.
There stood the figure that had protected Draco from all he could. Lucuis Malfoy. "F-Father" Draco brreathed. ''Draco" the cold voice answered with a curt nod. Draco had expected him to throw insults at Hermione; the war had really changed people and messed with their characters. Pansy had become a sweeter person, His father had become aware of the damage the word 'Mudblood' can do and Draco himself had learnt to love somebody he once wanted dead.
"Draco, can I have you for a moment" Lucuis beckoned his son to follow him down a corridor. "Would you like a mug of tea?" Narcissa offered. "Yes please" Hermione nodded. "You can leave you're jacket there, love" Narcissa pointed to a coat rack inside the door. Hermione placed her brown jacket on one of the hooks.
Hermione followed Narcissa into the kitchen area. "Happy, could you wip up two cups of tea, please?" Narcissa asked an elderly female house elf. The elf nodded and raced to get the ingredients. Narcissa lead Hermione into a living room space and beckoned her to have a seat next to her.
After a few minutes of silence, Narcissa spoke up.
"I know you and Draco probably expect different treatment from my husband and I." Narcissa paused. "But we realized we are free people now. And we want the best for our son. Blood purity does not matter anymore. As long as both you and Draco are happy. Draco ,he means so much to me." Narcissa explained. Hermione nodded and took a small sip from her mug. "I understand that I am um eliminating the blood line. And I am sorry for that" Hermione apologized. "Don't be sorry, sweetheart. I'm glad its over. The relief of being reunited with my sister, Andromeda." Narcissa told the brunette.
Soon the two women were talking like they have known each other their entire lives. Narcissa introduced Hermione to a few pictures of an adorable infant Draco.
In a room down the hallway, Lucuis Malfoy was lecturing his son on how it was important he stood by Hermione and tried to be a good father to the new Malfoy heir.
Draco realized just how much of a changed person his father was.
"I'm happy its going to be a girl; there are too many boys ,if you asked me" Narcissa smiled at the younger witch. Hermione noddd. "Oh defiantly. A little girl is going to be lovely to have as our own" Hermione agreed.
Soon the two parents to be left ,back to Hogwarts.
Hermione decided she was going to catch up with her Gryiffindor friends, and Draco was going to be with the other Slytherins'.
"Hey" Hermione said as she barged into the Gryiffindor common room. "Hi 'Mione" Lavender didn't look up from her book while she said this.
"Where's Ron, Harry, and Ginny??" Hermione asked, her stomach felt uneasy ,for some reason. "Uh, I think their upstairs; in the girls dormitory's" Lavender replied. "Thanks" Hermione yelled as she jogged up the stairs to the girl dorm.
Ginny was sitting on her bed, Harry was beside her and Ron was slumped in an arm chair.
"Hey 'Mione" Ron yawned. He looked as though he had just woken up from a slumber. Hermione smiled at him. "How was meeting Draco's parents??" Harry asked. Hermione sat on the arm of the chair Ron bad currently occupied. "Oh it was lovely. His mother is the kindest women" Hermione smiled. Harry smiled back.
"How was you're Sunday?" Hermione asked the two Weasley's and the Potter.
"Good" Ron smiled wearily. Ginny nodded.
"Mione, did you hear there's a ball coming up??" Ginny sighed dreamily. Hermione laughed. She knew Ginny was faking her excitmeant. Ginny wasn't really a dress type of girl.
The two girls decided that next Saturday they would go to Hogsmeade to buy dresses.
Hi. Hope you like that. I love the characters that are Draco's parents so I really didn't want to write them as the bad guys. ╰(*'︶'*)╯♡('ω`)
