A month and a half later saw the ‘happy’ couple just barely tolerating one another. Lucius completely ignored the situation after he sent out the new contract that stated he wanted her to try to get some help for her mental issues. Draco ignored her for the most part only conversing with her when it was absolutely necessary. He walked in to his room and threw his tie on his dresser, walking in to his bathroom, he took a shower and got ready to go to the Quidditch game, Ravenclaw versus Hufflepuff. Walking out in just a towel he was about to drop it when he lifted his eyes to his bed and almost screamed.
“MOM!” He snapped, grabbing his shirt off the floor and holding it in front of the towel that was around his waist “How long have you been there?!” He glared at her “Were you going to tell me you were there, bloody pervert!”
“I’ve been sitting here the whole time” Narcissa answered as she calmly filed one long crimson nail “I was going to make my presence known when you first entered but you went straight for the shower…what was I supposed to do, bang on the door?”
“I almost just stripped down in front of you!” He said, horrified with what almost happened.
“Oh Draco” She laughed “I changed your nappies, I bathed you and until you were nearly ten you used to insist I sit in the bathroom while you bathed to talk to you because you were ‘lonely’ believe me, there isn’t one freckle on your body that I don’t know about” She smirked and leaned forward on his bed “That includes your nether regions”
“But…you’re my mother” He reminded uselessly.
“Come on” Narcissa said rolling her eyes “When my mother, your grandmother, was promised to my father her father taught her how to pleasure a man” He looked ready to be sick “That’s how it was…possibly still is with some of the other pureblooded families. If we followed those rules I would have started having sex with you when you were fifteen to show you how to please a woman and if we had a daughter your father would have taught her to please a man when she was fifteen and promised to someone”
“How can that be?” Draco asked with a sneer, sure that he’d just found a crack in her lie “All pureblooded brides are to be virgins on their wedding nights”
“Virgins to another man’s touch” Narcissa said “Which means another man that isn’t in the family and her ‘master’ as that was how a father is seen…a master over his children and wife”
“Whatever” Draco rolled his eyes “How did you even get in here?”
“You seem to think that your father is the only one that can do the ‘impossible’ things around here” She said with a laugh “We need to talk about your treatment of Miss Granger”
“Merlin’s saggy left nut, mother” He muttered from the bathroom as he pulled on a pair of jeans and a warm sweater “I haven’t been mean to her or…”
“I know” She said “You’ve not conversed with her at all. You know she’s giving up a lot and while you seem to think that she’s gaining a lot, which she is, you are too”
“Like how?” He sneered.
“She is smart enough to keep up with you” Narcissa answered “She’ll give you smart and beautiful children. Keep you out of prison, help in our family business and keep you in touch with some influential people, such as Potter”
“I guess” He caved and sat down near her.
“Now, do you ignore your girlfriends?” She asked and he shook his head and whispered ‘no, ma’am’ to her “Take her out, show her off, make her feel that you actually want this. Wine and dine her, Malfoy-style, make sure that when the time comes to marry you that she is completely sure about it”
“But what about…” He started.
“The dark lords been told that you’re trying to get in to the side of the light as a spy” Narcissa told him “Your friends should be smart enough not to question you. Do your best to be your best to her and she won’t be able to resist you”
“Yeah, right” He muttered to himself “It’s not that simple. I tried last month to take her out and she was rude to me the whole night, kept calling me ‘Ferret-boy’ and making comments about me being a death eater”
“I will talk to her” Narcissa promised him.
“Fine” He answered “Can I go now?”
“I suppose” Narcissa answered with a sad smile, Draco turned and walked straight to the door that would lead to the Slytherin common room before his guilt at how he treated his mother overcame him and he turned back.
“Mom…” He turned back to apologize only to find the spot on his bed that she’d been sitting on was vacant “What the f…” He looked around the room and even went to the bathroom but she wasn’t there either, with more confusion than he should have experienced Draco left the Slytherin dorms and headed towards the Quidditch Pitch hoping he wasn’t too late.

Hermione tried everything she could think of but there was nothing else to keep her locked up in her head girl room. All her homework was done and she was four chapters ahead in all her classes, she honestly couldn’t think of a good reason to be another two chapters more ahead. Looking at herself in the mirror she growled at her reflection and stood up making her way to the door when there was a knock. She stopped because she was using the exit that lead to the hallway, it was the one that very few knew about. Only Ginny, Luna, Neville and Malfoy but only because he was Head Boy and it was mandatory for him to know. She swung the door open after making sure her wand was in her hand, she was surprised to find the tall, willowy blonde Lady Malfoy standing there.
“Hello, Miss Granger” She greeted “May I come in?”
“I…” Hermione looked at her for a moment “What?”
“May I come in?” Narcissa repeated slower “I thought we could have a conversation”
“I…guess?” Hermione said as she moved back and allowed the older woman entranced to her room, at least this was a legitimate reason not to go to a boring ass Quidditch game.
“Thank you so much” Narcissa said as she walked in to Hermione’s room and sat down in the chair in front of the old desk that was covered with homework “I was thinking that we could talk about your relationship with my son”
“There isn’t much of one” Hermione admitted as she sat down on the bed “I’m sure that you know about the blackmail your husband has strapped me with”
“I am” She answered “And I know that he did it with the kindest heart possible”
“Kind?” Hermione sneered “I don’t think he understands the meaning of the word!”
“Really?” She gave her an unbelieving look “Miss Granger, my husband’s made many mistakes but I assure you he made those decisions, weather good or bad, for what he thought was the best for the family” She smiled to herself fondly and noticed that she had all of Hermione’s attention “What makes a good marriage, Hermione. It’s not strictly on sex or even getting along with someone and sometimes it’s not even about love, sometimes its looking at what someone is willing to do for your protection and the protection of the family you have together”
“That’s the thing” Hermione said “I’m sorry Mrs. Malfoy I’m sure you think your son is a sweetheart that can do no wrong but I don’t love him and I highly doubt that I will ever love him, ever”
“I know my sons faults” Narcissa told her “He’s arrogant, cocky, self-assured, cruel, prejudice and sometimes he comes off as entitled” Hermione snorted “But he really is a good man, he works hard, he has a great sense-of-humor when given a chance and he’s not really as prejudice as you may think…Hermione, he will make you a good husband and if you give yourself a chance you could be a fine wife”
“But I don’t want to be a wife” Hermione said “Not so soon, not before I’ve lived a normal life without war, without hate and without having to look over my shoulder all the time”
“I know” Narcissa said sadly “I was promised to Lucius when I was just fourteen years old. I knew that I would be a wife the minute I graduated, Lucius was sixteen and perfect, all the girls wanted him” She shook her head “All the jealousy made them remind me of all the things I would miss out on, like going to college, traveling the world, getting a job like a normal witch…I was terrified”
“Then you know how I feel” Hermione said passionately “And knowing that…how can you be okay with this?”
“Hermione” Narcissa said “I went on to college to become a Healing Mistress. I held a job for five years at Saint Mungo’s and even though I’m married I still work as a private Healer to some prominent families. Lucius and I traveled the first year of our marriage and still go on long vacations during the school year when Draco is away…nothing is out of the question, you just need to learn to be two things at once. Be Mrs. Malfoy and Hermione Granger at the same time, be a wife and an adventurous woman at the same time, a socialite and philanthropist at the same time believe me, it can be done”
“Sounds like you’re telling me to use the money your family’s worked hard for to make my own dreams come true” Hermione said.
“Of course that’s what I’m saying” Narcissa surprised her by answering “You are getting a raw deal here, Hermione. You can learn to love Draco of that I am sure, but you are still being blackmailed in to dating and marrying someone that you’ve never even considered a friend. But you are marrying in to a rich family so use that, go to college and travel and do whatever you want with the Malfoy budget”
“That’s sneaky” Hermione said.
“I am a Slytherin” She laughed, standing up and walking towards her door “I’ve spoken with my son and he will be treating you like a girlfriend from now on, you’ll see how easy and fun it is to be a Malfoy or even the girlfriend of a Malfoy” She opened the door that led to the hallway and looked over her shoulder “Have a nice weekend, Miss Granger”
~~~//~~~
“I can’t believe you missed most of the game!” Ginny exclaimed for the thousandth time “It was epic and who would have thought that Hufflepuff would have beat Ravenclaw?!”
“I know, Ginny” Hermione nodded, rolling her eyes “You’ve said it about fifty times, I just find it hard to focus on Quidditch in the middle of a bloody war!”
“Sometimes…” Ginny looked off a little and Hermione instantly felt bad about bringing up yet another reminder that Harry was out there endangering his life while they were sitting there in school talking about Quidditch “People need something other than sadness to think about”
“I know” Hermione said “I’m sorry, I’m tired”
“It’s okay” The redhead smiled again “So, today is Saturday do you want to…” She stopped as a beautiful eagle-owl landed in front of Hermione with a package tied to its leg “I think it’s for you”
“What?” Hermione looked at the bird like it may explode but slowly and with shaking hands she untied the ribbon holding the package to its leg.
“Well open it!” Ginny was bouncing in her seat as she looked around. Ginny’s eyes caught the silver stare of Draco Malfoy and she knew that it was from the Slytherin git “I think your boyfriend sent it!”
“That doesn’t make me feel any better” Hermione muttered. She opened the paper that surrounded the little box and then lifted the lid up and instantly dropped it and put her hand over her mouth. Ginny watched her for a minute and reached over, moving away the tissue paper and her mouth dropped open as she leaned back.
“Holy shit” Ginny said “That’s…that’s…almost like an engagement ring”
“What?” Hermione squeaked “What do you mean?”
“With pureblooded families” Ginny explained “Say when the Black family promised Narcissa to Lucius it would have been made publicly known that she was to be with him by giving her something with the Malfoy family emblem on it” Ginny looked at the box “Usually it’s jewelry”
“So if I wear it” Hermione whispered “It’s saying that I’m okay with it…”
“Okay with what?” Ginny asked, confused.
“Nothing” Hermione answered “It means that we’ve moved our relationship from casually dating to seriously dating?”
“Yes” Ginny answered, still wondering about what ‘being okay with it’ meant and why her friend had said it.
“Thank you for telling me about that” Hermione said “You know, when all this crazy war stuff is over with I think we need to have an ‘Understanding Pureblooded Traditions’ class” Hermione smiled and gently reached in to the little box that had been giving to her and she scooped out the beautiful silvery-white-gold locket that had an ornate ‘M’ on the front with a red rose with a green stem on it. It was lovely but when Ginny clasped it around Hermione’s neck the meaning of it felt just as heavy as she thought it would.

A/N: I hope you like this. Please review. So, the locket isn’t suddenly going to make Draco a total sweetheart but…well, they will start talking a bit more.
