Yay! On time this week. Well, here it is. Remember this is Draco's meeting with his mother so it is only Draco's POV. Things will start speeding up after these next few chapters. Thank you everyone for your patience these last few weeks. It has been a little rough and stress levels are at an all time high at my work because we are so slow. Thank you for your words of encouragement! They really keep me going. As always, please review, my wonderful readers (responses to reviews from the last chapter are at the bottom as always :)).

“I’m sure their meeting is going fine, Draco,” Pansy said, reassuring him again. “They are pretty much the only family she has left. They probably aren’t pleased that it’s you, but they aren’t going to turn her away.”

Draco just sighed and ran his hands through his hair. Again. “What if they don’t accept me?”

“Well, mate,” Theo said from Pany’s other side. “You have done a lot in the past to make them hate you. But that just means that you will have to work extra hard to win them over, for Hermione’s sake at least.”

“It’s not going to be easy mate,” Blaise added. “We can all see how in love you two are, though, so you’ll get through it.”

“Why are you guys here?” Daphne asked, walking up behind them. Blaise, Theo, Pansy and Draco were standing a few shops down from Hogshead, waiting for Hermione’s meeting with the Weasley’s to be over.

“Same thing you are, by the looks of it.” Blaise answered. “But we are waiting for Hermione. I thought you and Weasley were keeping your relationship quiet?”

“We were, but everyone loves me so we figured that I should meet his parents.”

Before anyone could respond, the door to Hogshead opened and everyone came out. Without hesitation Draco walked right over.

“Mr. and Mrs. Weasley,” he said bowing slightly. “I hope everything went well.”

“Yes it did” Mrs. Weasley said, looking around the group. “Ronald actually has something to say to you.”

Draco saw the Weasley turn as red as his hair.

“Ronald?”

“Umm…right…I…er…I’m sorry I went to McGonagall and lied about you putting ‘Mione under a curse,” he stammered.

“Thank you,” said Hermione who had moved to stand next to Draco. After a moment of not saying anything, he felt Hermione nudge him.

“Huh? Oh…right…apology accepted. I, too, and sorry for the way I treated you these last eight years. I can guarantee that it will not happen again.”

“Right. Well, now that that is over,” Mr. Weasley said, “Draco, it was a pleasure to see you. I’m sure you will treat Hermione well, but just so you know, we are not entirely sold on this relationship, but you seem to make her happy. So I’m sure we will see you around. Take care of her.”

“Of course, Mr. Weasley.” Draco shook his and Mrs. Weasley’s hand once more and left with Hermione.

“Thank you,” she said as they walked to Scrivenshafts Quill shop just a couple doors down.

“Of course,” he replied smiling. “They are your family after all.”

“Five more minutes.” Hermione pleaded.

“I really wish I could, but I’ve already stayed longer then I should.” Draco said, rubbing her thigh. “Walk with me to McGonagalls?”

“Okay,” she said putting down her new purple quill.

They had been lounging in the common room after their trip to Hogsmeade.

Draco took her hand and lead the way to McGonagall’s. “I’m not sure what time I will be done, but I have my parchment so I’ll write to you before I leave.”

He saw her nod, but kept her head down. “What do you think she is going to say?”

“I’m not sure,” he replied, pulling her into a hug. “I’m really hoping that she will see how happy I am, and take that into account.” He kissed the top of her head.

“Hurry back,” she said before pulling him into a hot and heavy kiss. “I’ll wait up for you.”

“Okay,” was all Draco could reply before she walked away.

After readjusting himself, he climbed the gargoyle steps and knocked.

“Enter,” McGonagall’s voice sounded from behind the door. “Ah, Mr. Malfoy.”

“Good evening, Headmistress.”

“The floo is open for you.”

“Thank you.” Draco walked to the floo. Without a second glance, he picked up the powder and shouted, “Malfoy Manor”. Once he landed, he was greeted by Mimsy.

“Master Draco!” Mimsy squealed. “You is here! And on time!”

Draco smiled at her. “Of course I am here. Mother said she had some paperwork to go over. Is she in the study?”

“Yes, master. I is going to start supper now.” Away she went.

“Oh, Draco, dear.” Narcissa said looking up from the desk when Draco walked in.

“Mother. You look well,” he replied, kissing her cheeks. “You said we had matters to discuss?”

“Yes. Just a few things with your father’s business.”

Draco sighed as he picked up his tea. “Mother I told you that I had no interest in this matter. I want to master in Potions, then career in Healing or open my own Potions shop.”

“I understand that. The paperwork I have been going over has to do with the Greengrass’s.” Narcissa said looking down again. “When we called off the engagement, Mr. Greengrass pulled everything he had invested with us out, do you remember?”

“Yes, he said his was understanding about our decision even if he didn’t agree.”

“Well, earlier this week, he started his investments again, with no explanation. Has something changed while you have been at school?”

“Pardons me, Mistress Cissa and Master Draco. Super is being ready now.”

“Thank you Mimsy.” Narcissa replied. Draco stood and escorted her to the table. “So have you changed your mind about Astoria? Or maybe even Daphne?”

“No, I haven’t. Daphne has chosen to be with Ron Weasley this year. Astoria, on the other hand, was escorted out of the school by her parents Monday night. Since no one has seen her since, I’m guessing that she was expelled.” Draco stated.

“Expelled? What did she do that would cause her parents to escort her out like that?”

“She threatened the life of my girlfriend in front of probably half the school.”

“Really? And why would she do that?”

Draco looked at his food. “Because she doesn’t like my girlfriend.”

“Draco, dear. I would very much like to eat my dinner, but it seems like you are giving me the minimal amount of information, which is prompting me to ask more questions.” Narcissa looked sternly at her son. “Are you going to tell me who your girlfriend is?”

“I told her I would, but I don’t know how you will react.” Draco looked at his mother. He could see a glimmer in her eyes and a small smile on her lips.

“You must really love her.”

“We have only been together a couple of weeks, but I am falling in love with her, rather quickly at that.” Draco said blushing.

“Well, I hope it the one girl you have had a crush on for all these years,”Narcissa said as she began eating. Draco just looked at her. “Did you think I didn’t notice?”

“What was there to notice?” Draco gaped.

“Well, you have always talked about how Ms. Granger always beat you in this subject or said this to you.” Narcissa looked up at him. “I am correct in assuming that it’s Ms. Granger, aren’t I?”

Draco just leaned back in his chair, both shocked and amazed.

“I take that as a yes.” Narcissa’s smile grew. “Of course I approve. She is quite lovely. I have a gift for her that you will take to her tonight. I can’t wait to meet her officially.”

“This is certainly not what I expected. She will be happy to know that you approve.” Draco resumed eating his dinner.

“Please make sure to give her this gift sooner rather than later.” Narcissa added casually. Draco just chuckled. Aim to please, mother. As always.

LadyShire: Thank you. Of course Molly would still love Hermione. She sees her as another daughter. There will always be somethings that children do that the parents don't like at first. They will eventually warm up to Draco (sooner rather than later thanks to his charm lol). As for the ministry helping Hermione return her parents, the responding letter will be in a a few chapters. I have a really good idea about how that is going to happen that I hope you will like (when it does happen lol).

Thunderbird: Yes they are! The love between them is really growing.
They will always see Hermione as family. They are like surrogate parents to her because they brought her under their wing and into the world of magic. They really put into prospective to Ron that he has been acting like a child. Ron will start to come around after the last chapter.
LOL a promise is a promise, especially since he made this promise to Hermione and he really doesn't want to let her down. Then again he didn't really tell his mother did he? LOL
