Letter to Hermione.
Disclaimer: I own nothing recognizable. This is the new and improved version thanks to my fabulous beta ScarletQuill.
She had only just gotten rid of the smarmy official when she was barrelled over by Harry and Draco wrapping their arms around her and giving her the tightest bear hug she'd ever received.
“Boys I'm sure Hermione's missed you both as well, but right now I think she's starting to miss breathing as well” Narcissa told them as she gently pulled Hermione out of their grasp into a gentle hug of her own. “Welcome home dear, Draco please could you and Harry make sure that the spa is ready for Hermione”
“Mother we've barely said hello to Mione and you're sending us on errands?”
“Don't whine Draco, you've all day to catch up” she raised an elegantly shaped eyebrow at her son who seemed to understand the underlying message and did as he was told taking Harry with him.
Narcissa linked arms with Hermione and led her through into her private parlour “Tea? I do apologise for those two, I hope you don't mind but I was hoping to have a private word before they found you”
Hermione was completely dumbfounded “Tea sounds lovely, thank you.”
“I hope you don't mind about the ball but I couldn't help myself, especially since according to Harry the last proper ball you went to was that ministry one nearly three years ago, You went with Severus didn't you? Milk and sugar?”
“Just lemon thank you” wondering where the hell Narcissa was going with this conversation Hermione just hoped that she'd get to the point soon so she could catch up with her boys. “Yes I remember that ball, Ron was out of the country so Severus graciously offered to escort me” a small blush graced her cheeks as she remembered how dashing he looked on her doorstep with his hair tied back with a black ribbon. “I suppose Harry and Draco will have to escort me tonight as I'm sure Severus will already have a date lined up” she said nonchalantly.
“Clever girl, fishing for information about Severus without giving herself away” Narcissa thought biting back a smile a twinkle in her eyes “Ah yes speaking of Severus, I do apologise for his and Lucius' absence but unfortunately I needed them to run a few errands for me before this evening.”
“So will everybody be there tonight?” Hermione asked before taking a sip of her tea.
“I do believe that everybody that was sent an invitation has accepted no doubt there will be a few gate crashers but that is a sign of a fabulous event, what sort of dress would you like to wear, so that while you and the boys catch up over massages and facials I can go over a few ideas with my dressmaker, that reminds me, Ziggy” she called out
A fairly tall house elf wearing toga style tea towel with the Malfoy family crest on it popped into the room “Yes Mistress” he said bowing low
“Please take the parcel on my desk to Professor Snape's home, thank you Ziggy”
“Right away Mistress” the house elf bowed again and popped out of sight.
Narcissa smiled at Hermione “Now about your dress my dear, I understand that big and over the top is the in thing with you young people”
Hermione visibly shuddered “I'm fully prepared to listen to your superior fashion sense Cissy but please don't shove me into a meringue monstrosity”
“With your delicate frame I think not, no I'm thinking simple, sleek, elegant. I'm sure the boys are climbing the walls now desperate for your company, so run along and join them in the east wing, I booked Phillipe just for you, his hands are to die for” Narcissa gave her a little wink.
Hermione quickly found Harry and Draco in the east wing which had transformed into a mini spa.
“Mione, Mother finally let you go I see, what did she want anyway?”
Hermione shrugged her shoulders “To talk about dresses I think but never mind that, come here” she reached out and pulled him into a hug “I can't believe how much I've missed you guys”
“Oi Wench! Find your own bloke he's taken” Harry shouted from what look liked a door leading to a sauna.
“Harry James Potter you should know better than that, it was him leading me astray”
“Fair enough, now get your far too skinny arse in here and tell me everything including the bit where you went skinny dipping drunk”
“Bollocks, I knew I shouldn't of told Charlie that” she muttered to herself. She took a good long look at Harry's face because there was something different about him and she just couldn't work out what it was, when it dawned on her that he was trying to grow a moustache and burst out laughing as she transfigured her clothes into a bikini for the sauna.
The two males just looked at her as if she'd gone loopy and sat down on the warm wooden benches “Are you feeling okay?” asked Harry
“Oh sweet Merlin please tell me that you are not seriously trying to grow a moustache Harry?” she said wiping tears of mirth away from her eyes.
“What's wrong with it? I think it makes me look distinguished like Clark Gable in Gone with the wind” Harry replied defensively.
Hermione burst out laughing again “Oh Harry, as your dearest and oldest friend please forgive me when I say that it looks terrible and that you look much better without it”
Harry rubbed the fuzz on his top lip thoughtfully “Well to tell the truth it was getting a little itchy, fine I'll get it removed by the ball, unless that is you want me to keep it?”
“I don't mind love what ever you feel is best is fine by me” Draco told his lover and then in a mock whisper to Hermione added “Thank Morgana you're back it was like kissing somebody with a squished moulting caterpillar on their top lip, but I didn't have the heart to tell him.”
Hermione spent the next six hours telling the all about her travels and in turn they told her the latest Wizarding gossip.
There is just one more thing to tell you before we go and see if mother's finished with your dress yet”
“Oh and what's that?” Hermione said lazily as Phillipe the masseuse massaged all her troubles away.
“Ron and Lavender got engaged at Christmas and they've been invited to the ball” Harry said quickly.
“Okay”
“Okay, what do you mean okay?” asked Draco
“I mean okay, I don't care what am I fifteen? Ron and I split up a long time ago, he deserves to be happy, I deserve to be happy, we all deserve to be happy. The fact of the matter is I'm in love with somebody else and I have been for a long time, I just didn't know fully myself until I went on this trip, don't get me wrong I wasn't a complete nun but now I know that there's only one wizard for me.”
Draco smirked “I knew that sooner or later you'd fall my charms but unfortunately I'm with Harry unless you fancy a manage a trois, you know you could be the meat in our sandwich” he wiggled his hips at her.
“Urgh! That has got to be the most disgusting thing that has come out of your mouth since we were at school Draco, no offence Harry but that would be like incest”
Harry grinned “None taken love, must I remind you darling that no matter how fair and lovely you are I'm not sharing you with anyone”
Draco looked at the wall clock and swore “Come on boys and girls if we don't get a move on mother will have my cute derrière as a wall hanging, the ball is due to start in two hours and we need to get you looking fabulous for Severus.
Hermione narrowed her eyes as Harry elbowed Draco in the side “What do you mean get me fabulous for Severus?”
Harry looked nervous and spilled “We know that you like Severus and we sorta know that he has feelings for you, we just want the pair of you to get together and be happy”
“What would I do without you two” she smiled as she wrapped a dressing gown around her
and tied a knot in the belt. “Well come on then otherwise I'll be greeting everybody in this.”
The trio managed to make it to the west wing without bumping into anybody, although it was a close call they finally made it to Narcissa's suite of rooms giggling like school kids.
“Finally I was about to send out a search party, boys you need to get ready then join your father in the study I will bring Hermione along when we are both ready, well chop, chop”
Draco and Harry said goodbye to Hermione and did as they were told and left her to Narcissa's devices.
The hairdresser and beauty therapist plucked, poked and cast numerous charms on that Hermione so that by time they had finished she was one wand twitch away from hexing them.
Narcissa came into the room looking extremely glamorous in her black ball gown, in her arms was a long piece of jade green satin fabric. “Could you take your bathrobe off my dear, there's no need to be shy we're all girls here” Narcissa asked Hermione, as the dressmaker who had entered into the room behind Narcissa waved her wand and muttered a complex spell which made the fabric wrap itself around Hermione and transformed itself into a beautiful halter neck dress that clung sinfully to her every curve and fell to the floor with a small train.
“Hermione dear I think it would be best if you didn't wear anything under the dress as it goes quite low at the back”
“You want me to go commando?” Hermione asked quite shocked that Draco's mum would suggest such a thing.
“Well only if the dress requires it my dear, besides just between us girls it drives Lucius mad with desire when I wear certain dresses” she gave Hermione a conspiratorial wink before turning again to the dressmaker “The colour's wrong let's see it in silver”
The dressmaker waved her wand and the green dress turned into shimmering silver.
“Perfect, thank you Eliza for all your help you may go now”
“Lady Malfoy, Miss Granger” the dressmaker gathered her things and left the two witches alone.
“How tall are you Hermione? Five-six, five-seven?”
“Five-six why?”
“It's just so I can give you the perfect height on your heel to dance, I don't have to worry about the dress as it will adjust itself to the correct length depending on the shoe height.”
Narcissa flicked her wand and summoned a shoe box from the back of her extremely walk in wardrobe “Here we are, three inch heel, silver, closed toe with a diamanté buckle these shoes were made for this dress” She caught the look of confusion written all over Hermione's face and said simply “Sometimes you buy shoes to match the dress or you buy the dress to match the shoes”
Hermione put the shoes on and looked at herself in the mirror and amazed as she was by the transformation, her one thought was would Severus like it. Narcissa's reflection appeared in the mirror as the older woman gave her a hug from behind.
“You look stunning, he won't be able to keep his eyes off you”
Hermione's soft brown questioning eyes met knowing pale blue ones in the mirror.
“Come my dear let us not keep our menfolk waiting too long, who knows what mischief they'll get into”
A/N: Okay I know I keep teasing you, but I promise they meet in the next chapter, it just seemed like a perfect place to end it.
The plot bunnies are on fire and I'm not putting them out any time soon, so show me the love and review. (If it helps I'm about to write the next chapter so you lovely people know what to do)
Much Love
