Hermione stood there for a second before she collapsed on the ground. She could not understand the words that Draco had said to her before he disappeared into smoke. It took her a minute or two before she realized that she was still sitting near her daughter's grave. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and recall the words that Draco just spoke. He told her that Rose was just a one night stand and they did not have a long term relationship! but why would he say that when she herself had heard her daughter tell her that they had been seeing each other for almost six months!
She remembered that afternoon clearly. She had come from buying groceries and was setting them in the ice box when she heard someone sob. There was pin drop silence and she could hear the sobs from her kitchen. Worried she had walked up to Rose's room and the sobs got louder. Panicking she opened the door without knocking and barged in only to see her daughter in her PJs, curled up on her bed crying. She went to her quickly and sat beside her. Rose panicked seeing her and then got up and hugged her. Hermione spoke soothing words to her before asking her what was the problem? She even told her that Rose could tell her everything and anything and she would not be angry with her.
Rose looked at her uncertainly for a second but then wiped her tears and told her, "Mum, after I broke up with Michael I met a man who is very mature and understanding. He loves me very much and I love him too. We met six months ago and have been seeing each other in secret. He cares for me mother but...but I dont think you or dad would approve of him as your son-in-law."
Hermione looked at her wide eyed, "Rose, baby, but you just met him. How do you know that he is meant for you? and why are you thinking of marriage so soon? you are young...you have your entire life in front of you. Even if we do not approve of him, I think you should wait before agreeing to marriage."
Rose shook her head vehemently,"I don't have that luxury mum. I am pregnant and I need to get married before I start showing."
Hermione moved a bit away from her to look into Rose's brown eyes. Rose avoided her gaze. Hermione bit her lips before asking her, "Rose, how can you be so careless? I taught you the spell myself. How can you let this happen? What is this beau of yours saying? Is he okay with it?"
Rose smiled at her and replied, "He is very happy and wants to marry immediately. He is a really nice guy mum...in fact you know him."
Rose looked at Hermione shyly and Hermione smiled back, "So..go ahead child, tell me his name." Rose giggled before answering, "He is Draco Malfoy mum. Scorpius's father. We met at his party and we fell in love."
Hermione bit her lip hard to stop the shock from showing on her face. Her world had just shattered. How could Draco do this to her? Why did he get Rose pregnant? How could he flirt with her and be in love with her daughter? This and many other questions were swirling in her head when Rose touched her arm shaking it lightly to get her attention, "Mum! Mum! are you okay? I know this is a big surprise for you given your school house rivalry but you yourself have been singing his praises for over a year now. He has changed mum! He is very attentive and kind. He is very polite and shows his affection through gifts. He respects my opinions. He is exactly the kind of guy I want as a life partner." Shell shocked Hermione merely nodded her head with a smile frozen on her face.
Rose looked excited as she spoke more about Draco Malfoy. Hermione felt sick in her stomach when Rose told her that they only met on weekends for lunch and dinner on Sundays. He would take her to places where nobody would recognize them. She was head over heels in love with him. Hermione took a deep breath before telling her that she should be prepared before facing her father who would no doubt blow his fuse after hearing the groom's name. Rose pleaded to her to be there for her. Hermione hugged her and promised her that she would do everything in her power to make her wish come true. Rose smiled happily thanking her mother. Hermione got up shakily and walked up to the door before saying, "Rose, this is not going to be easy. Ask Mr. Malfoy to come and meet us. We would need to discuss a lot of things before a wedding date is set." Rose nodded adding, "Mum, I hope you don't mind but we have already set an engagement date. We will announce it on that day. Nobody knows about our relationship so I want it to be known before we get married. Hopefully people will agree to this." Hermione simply shook her head and left the room.
After reaching her bedroom she had collapsed on her bed and cried. She didn't even know why she was crying? She thought about Draco, his smile, his wit and the way they had kissed and even more tears began to fall. That was when she knew that she had fallen in love with Draco. she berated herself for being so open with him. She had spent hours telling him how she felt when she was married to Ron and what she was hoping to get in her future partner. He had done the same but he never told her that he was courting her daughter. Hermione felt like a fool for believing him so blindly.
The storm had passed, Ron had calmed down and was now on speaking terms with Rose. Hermione had done her best to make him agree to the marriage. Ron however refused to meet Malfoy. He told Hermione that since she was mature enough to see how good this marriage would be, she should be the one to arrange it. Hence on a Saturday morning Hermione sat in her flat waiting for Rose and Draco to arrive so that they could discuss their marriage. Her heart beat wildly as this would be the first time she would be meeting Draco as he had been too busy to even talk to her for the past two months.
The floo place lighted with green fumes as both Rose and Draco arrived in her flat. Draco looked as if he hadn't slept for days and he stood frozen on that spot while Rose ran to Hermione and hugged her. She looked nervous as well. Hermione felt bad for them and decided to cheer them up, "Well..well..look who is here, the lovely couple I have been waiting for. Come on in Mr. Malfoy ...please be seated. Rose, be a dear and get the tea things will you...I will talk with Mr. Malfoy in the meantime. Go child." Rose smiled widely at her mother's attempt to make Draco feel at home and left to go inside the kitchen.
Draco walked up to her and looked at her seriously, "Granger, Do you approve of this? I am sure Weasley must have sworn to murder me but you...are you okay with this?" His eyes were sad and there was something in them that Hermione failed to understand.
She looked into his eyes and nodded, "I am doing this for Rose Malfoy. I want her happiness and if her happiness is with you then so be it."
Draco snorted and nodded, "Happiness...indeed. We all want our loved ones to be happy. I would rather die than see the one I love in pain. So I guess we are doing this for the same reason." Hermione gulped down her feelings as she desperately wanted to hug him. He looked so sad and lost, not at all like a man in love. That actually should have been a red flag that she should have noticed but Hermione was too preoccupied with Rose's happy face to be concerned about Draco. That afternoon Draco told her that they would announce their engagement at one of his parties in two weeks and then they would get married in Paris away from the media in a simple ceremony. Hermione agreed as she knew Ron would like that as well. He wanted this to be kept quiet because he did not want to answer questions that would be thrown at him after the engagement news leaks out.
And then the engagement party happened. Rose grew more nervous as the day neared. In fact she was shaking when the time had come to announce the news but before that happened she had collapsed and never woke up.
Hermione snapped out of her thoughts as soon as she remembered again what Draco had said to her near the grave. She needed answers to her questions. She needed to know why her loving, sweet daughter lied to her like that? What was she afraid of? She stood up and paced thinking where would Draco go and then she got the answer. She immediately thought of the place and disapparated there.
