Chapter 6: The decision
AN: Thanks for the nice reviews. And if you don’t like my story, just don’t read it, nobody is forcing you. My characters will not be canon, nothing about this story is canon. Thank you Atlantean_Diva , for the the websites and I would love suggestions for her love interest, but it has to be a Slytherin, I admit she has been a bit OOC, but it will improve, that I promise you. This chapter is a bit shorter, but I hope you’ll like it.
A couple of days had passed since she told her friends. Hermione sat on the big couch in her adoptive parents living room. She thought about everything that had happened in less than a week. Ron had surprised her, she never thought he would accept it and not scream at her. She supposed he had grown up throughout the summer, he had said to her that even though he hated the Malfoys, for many reasons, he would support her, which didn’t mean he would get on with them. Ginnys support wasn’t a surprise, she knew she could always count on the youngest Weasley to make her feel better and help her, Ginny had said she would talk to Harry and see what his problem was. Harry, the one Hermione had supported for years, the one she fought with against Voldemort, she was the one who never let him alone and helped him with everything. And now that she needed him, he left her alone. She couldn’t understand him and didn’t know if she wanted to try, as he had really hurt her.
Hermione didn’t know if she should move in with the Malfoys or not, she was sure that they would love it, as Lucius himself had told her the day before as he showed her the library.
Flashback
He led her to the library, put his hand behind her back and guided her to the stairs. “The library is set up by sections. Each section is in alphabetical order…”
They climbed three floors. Hermione couldn’t get over how incredibly large the library was. Within each of the sections were books within glass cases. The books behind glass were either rare editions within that section, author-signed or specific to the Malfoy family history only. Lucius took his time to show her some of his prized collections.
Some of the floors had sitting areas, cushy loveseats and pillows, perfect to curl up in and read. Another floor had a huge window seat with luxurious cushions to sink into and overlooked the magnificent gardens.
“Lucius, I’ve never seen anything so magnificent,” she said with awe in her voice.
“If you moved in, you could be here every day.” He had said to her, trying to convince her to finally move in. He and his wife, Narcissa, wanted to live with their daughter and really get to know her. “Narcissa and I, would be more than happy to have you here with us.”
Hermione looked him in the eyes and smiled a little, she knew they had much to talk about, before they could really trust each other. “I promise I’ll think about it.”
And that was just what she had done since then. She decided to talk to the Grangers at dinner, she knew they had been waiting for to make her decision, as they acted as if they were walking on egg shells. She didn’t know if she could leave the only parents she had ever known, the thought of it alone already made her scared, but she was Hermione Granger, one of the Golden Trio, she had helped defeat Voldemort, she was always up to a challenge, and it was time to face the most difficult one of all. She was so caught up in her thoughts, that she hadn’t heard her mother call her to join them for dinner.
After everyone had food on their plates, Hermione decided to broach the topic, that no one wanted to talk about. “I’ve made my decision.” She looked around the table to see her parents reaction. Her father started coughing, as this news was really unexpected and surprised him. Her mother sat there with a look on her face, that told Hermione she was scared and surprised all in one. Hermione took a deep breath before continuing “I’ll always love you guys, but it’s time that I get to know them better. I don’t fully trust them yet, but my logical side, says it’s time to get to know them, because knowing them, means knowing myself. And I promise I’ll visit every week, you’ll always be my parents.” As she finished explaining, her mother had tears in her eyes. Both stood up and hugged their daughter tight.
“We understand pumpkin, we were only waiting for you to come to the same conclusion. When do you want to leave?” Her father asked her as he let go of her. He didn’t want her to leave, but understood that he couldn’t forbid her from leaving.
“I was thinking tomorrow, or the day after. I haven’t told the Malfoys yet, I have to see when it’s best for them, as I don’t really want to bother them.”
“Darling, I don’t think you’ll bother them, they’ll be happy to have you. Should I help you pack after dinner?” Her mother asked her, smiling a bit, as she noticed how nervous her only daughter was.
After dinner, Hermione went to her room, to write a letter to her parents, the Malfoys and to her friends, letting both of them know about her decision. As her owl, Gylfie, flow into the night, she decided it was time to pack, with a couple of moves with her wand, her most important belonging were packed in boxes, she shrank them and put them on her desk. She pulled her copy of Hogwarts, A History out of her trunk and decided to read it before she went to bed.
~-~
After dinner, the Malfoys retreated to their drawing room. Lucius helped his wife to one of the armchairs and asked her if she would like a drink. Seeing her nod, her made his way to the small table, where the bottles of alcohol stood. He poured his wife a drink and gave it to her. He then sat on another armchair and called for a House-Elf to pour him a drink.
This small gesture made Narcissa smile, her husband was always a gentleman, pouring her drink. She sipped on it and looked out the window, where she saw a owl making his way to the manor. “Lucius dear, please open the window, there is an owl coming.” She observed her husband as he stood and opened the window. “It looks like out daughters owl. What does the letter say?” Lucius read the letter aloud.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy,
I have been thinking about your offer to stay at the Manor until school starts again, I talked it over with my parents and we’ve both come to the same conclusion, that it would be in my best interest to move in with you, seeing as how I should get to know my family better. If you could come tomorrow to help me pack my thins and transport them to the Manor, I would be grateful, if not, I think I could manage it on my own.
Love,
Hermione
Lucius had to read the letter again, before he believed it. He looked at his wife, she was grinning from ear to ear. “Darling, she’s really coming. I cannot believe this. Poppy!” He called for a House Elf, that appeared seconds later. “Please go tell Draco to come here immediately.” He watched as the Elf bowed and disappeared. As he waited for his son, he made his way back to the armchair. He couldn’t believe that Hermione had agreed to come live with them, they would have to make some changes in the manor and prepare her room for her.
“Lucius, how can you be this calm? We’ve so much to do until she gets here tomorrow.” Lucius looked at his wife and had to smile, she always stressed about such situations.
“Calm down Cissa, we’ll get everything ready for tomorrow, the House-Elves are here to help us with the preparations for her arrival.” He looked to the door, where his son was standing.
“Mother, father, what did you want? I was doing my assignments for the summer.”
“Son, we have good news for you.” Lucius waited for his son to take a seat on the couch. “Your sister will be coming to live with us, starting tomorrow. You and I will go to the Grangers and pick her up, your mother will stay here and prepare everything for her arrival.”
“Are you serious? She’s really coming here? Why?” He had to smile, this was great news.
“Yes, my darling, she’s coming tomorrow.” Narcissa told her son.
The rest of the night was spent, preparing the house for her arrival. The Elves prepared a suite for the home coming of the little Miss, whereas the Malfoys slept soundly. Her suite had a small library, where she could put her favorite books, instead of the always having to go to the library. She would also have a big bathroom, with a shower and a bath, where everything was made of Italian marble. The suite also had a small sitting room, where she could hang out with her friends and a dressing room, where she could put all her clothes and jewelry. As the morning came, Narcissa looked at everything in the suite, to make sure she approved of everything, she only wanted the best of the best for her daughter. She told the Elves to come here, when her daughter arrived, to help her decorate her bedroom to her taste.
After breakfast the two Malfoy men, made their way to the apparating point in the Manor. Both of them tried to hide their feelings, they didn’t want to look too happy or excited. They were dressed in muggle clothes, seeing as they had to move about in muggle London. They apparated to the Leaky Cauldron and took a taxi from there to Hermione’s house, because they didn’t want to scare the neighbors by simply appearing on the street. Draco went to the front door and rang the door bell, excited to see his sister again.
