Chapter Six

....He opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by a horrified shriek, an intake of breath, and the sound of glass shattering....

Hermione and Draco both looked up startled; to see a shocked Narcissa Malfoy and a Horrified Estelle Parkinson, surrounded by the fragments of what looked like a large crystal vase. Everyone was frozen in place looks of astonishment one all of their faces.

“Mother?” Draco was the first to break the silence “I thought you were going to be out all day?” He asked, panicked, he stood up and quickly handed Hermione her dress which she put on fast as she could her face flaming with embarrassment. Draco quickly pulled on his pants and grabbed his shirt pulling it on but leaving it undone when he remembered that half the buttons were gone. Mrs. Parkinson was scowling at Hermione; the look in her eyes reminding her of Ginny’s joking words right before she had floo’d here for lunch, and she thought to herself that Ginny may just have a reason to call the aurors after all.

“Change of plans” Narcissa stated calmly, voice cold and icy.

Yes, Hermione thought as Narcissa pulled out her wand; it was getting more and more likely that she would not live to see the next day.

“Estelle bought us a beautiful vase thinking that it would look perfect in out dining room.” She explained as she repaired the aforementioned vase and, to Hermione’s relief, put her wand away.

“Would somebody here like to explain to me what is going on?” Asked an enraged Mrs. Parkinson. “Why is my daughter’s fiancé with someone else?”

Fiancé? Hermione thought stunned; surely Draco would have told her that he was engaged?

“Now Essie dear, we’ve talked about this. Neither Draco nor Pansy wish to be married to each other.” Narcissa said, her voice almost bored, as though they had had this conversation many times. Hermione was relieved that she hadn’t just been the ‘other woman’ in Draco’s relationship.

“In our day it didn’t matter what we wished. You never wanted to marry Lucius, Narcissa, but look how happy you are now!” Estelle exclaimed passionately, she was clearly anxious to have her daughter marry into a wealthy family.

“Lucius and I barely knew each other, Pansy and Draco have known each other since they were babies, and I think that if they were going to fall in love, it would have happened by now. Am I right Draco?”

“Indeed.” Draco said amused at the conversation, it looked like he had also talked about this subject many times.

“Well” Mrs. Parkinson huffed, “It seems that you have personal matters to discuss which I have no part in.” Her tone changed as she added “Shall I see you for tea tomorrow, Cissy?”

“Certainly, I’ll floo over around 11” Narcissa said cheerily as she ushered her friend out the door, before turning back towards Draco and Hermione, the pleasant expression she had worn while bidding her friend goodbye completely wiped from her face, replaced with a cold, hard expression. “Stay here.” She commanded the pair, before turning and gliding swiftly from the room.

They both breathed out after Narcissa had been gone for a few seconds. “Are you going to tell her that the baby is yours?” Hermione asked slowly, she realised that she would be upset and hurt if he said no.

“Yes” Draco sighed. “It’s not like she didn’t already realise when she first walked in.” Then he added softly, “But, I would have told her anyway, even if she hadn’t just discovered it for herself.”

“I’m guessing this isn’t exactly how you wanted you parents to find out!” Hermione surprised herself as she managed to laugh despite the situation they were in.

Draco chuckled, “Not quite, no.” Then he startled her pulling her towards him and kissing her softly. Then she remembered what he had said right before kissing her earlier. She pulled back from the kiss.

“Draco, what did you mean before?” She questioned him her lips still close to his. “When you said that I knew nothing about the way you feel about me.” She was extremely curious.

“What do you think?” He smirked and raised his eyebrows as he closed the distance between their lips again, looking her in the eyes as he kissed her slowly. She smiled against his lips then pulled back again.

“Well I’ve gathered that you don’t hate me anymore!” She laughed then becoming more serious as she added “But what I meant was, is this just lust? Or is it something more?” She blushed.

After asking him this she thought about what her feelings were towards him; and she didn’t really know. There was definitely lust, and she clearly didn’t hate him like she had through most of her Hogwarts years. While they were head students together, he had been much more civil towards her and they had actually had quite a few conversations with him, they had become, not quite friends but by the end of the year they certainly weren’t enemies any more.

Before he managed to answer though, Narcissa interrupted, “Come with me.” She ordered when she got back to the room. Hermione blushed again, and she and Draco quickly stepped away from one another. They followed Narcissa out of the room and through various corridors before Narcissa reached an ornate wooden door and stopped, once they had caught up with her, she knocked lightly on the door before pushing it open.

“Here they are, Lucius.” She said into the room before the door swung open and Hermione could see that they were in a large study, Lucius sat behind a large oak desk, there were bookshelves lining the walls and a couch set in a corner of the room.

Draco’s father stood up from behind his desk and transfigured three chairs, two in front of the desk and one beside his behind the desk. He indicated for them all to sit, Narcissa taking the seat beside him.

“I didn’t know you were seeing anyone, Draco.” Lucius said with disdain, “Care to introduce us?”

“Oh, yes, sorry” Draco was clearly nervous. “Father, this is Hermione Granger. Hermione, this is my father, Lucius Malfoy, I believe you may have met once or twice before.”

“It’s, er, nice to meet you again, Mr. Malfoy.” Hermione lied.

“Please, call me Lucius; I am to become your father in law.” He looked towards Draco, “am I not?”

“Uh,” Draco started. But he was cut off as Lucius spoke to Hermione.

“That is Draco’s child?” He asked her, indicating towards her stomach.

Hermione looked at Draco, who nodded at her. “Yes, it is.” She said slowly.

“Well then, the two of you are to be married, end of discussion.” He stated calmly.

“Um, well, Hermione and I haven’t, really, been seeing each other, for, uh, for long.” Draco told his father.

“No Malfoy heir will be born a bastard.” Lucius replied stonily.

“We don’t know that the child is a boy.” Hermione said to Lucius.

To which he said icily “There have been no female firstborn children in the Malfoy family for centuries. The child will be a boy.”

“There have been no half blood Malfoy children either.” Hermione raised an eyebrow at the man before her, “and yet, this one is. Why couldn’t it be a girl also?”

Lucius smirked, “Touché” He said to Hermione, before turning to his son, “I like her Draco, she has spine, unlike the Parkinson girl; no matter how much you might like her, Cissy” He turned to his wife, who had been sitting beside him silently. “Now, I know how you can’t seem to ever plan a small party, so if we want to hold this wedding before the baby arrives then I think you ought to start the planning as soon as possible.” He turned back to face his son and cut Draco off before he could protest. “Draco, you will marry Miss Granger before this baby is born. No buts. My word is final.” He looked at his son as though daring Draco to argue with him, and then he barked at them all, “Now leave, all of you. I have things to do.”

When they were out of the room Draco turned to his mother and whined, “This is practically an arranged marriage, weren’t you saying earlier that you wouldn’t force me into marrying Pansy, why is this any different?”

“Did you ever get Pansy pregnant, Draco?” Narcissa smirked at her son. “No, I didn’t think so.” She said when she saw the look on his face. “Now, ask me again why this is any different?” She raised her eyebrows at her son before turning and walking away.

Hermione looked at her watch and saw that it was 3 o’clock, “Uh, Draco. I should go. Can we talk about this later? I think I need to be alone for a while, this is a lot to take in”

Draco nodded, “I’m sorry, about all of this.” He said sincerely to her. Before walking her back to the floo room. Just before she was about to step into the green flames Draco grabbed her arm and stopped her, pulling her towards him, he laid a chaste kiss against her lips and said, “It will be alright.”

She nodded, “Goodbye, Draco” She turned back to the fireplace and stepped into the flames; saying clearly, “The Burrow”.
