Don't worry. I don't own anything. It is the world of JK Rowling. We are just living in it ;) And none of the art except the cover page belong to me. HAPPY READING!

Within the next week Hermione had the most mood swings she had in her life. And finally it was the d-day when she once again had to meet her childhood nemesis. The last Hermione saw of Draco Malfoy was at a cafe when it seemed like he was bullying a child with an uncannily resemblance to herself but in reality he was helping her find her parents. She remembered how conflicted and confused she felt that day and concluded that war does affect people even a ferret. She had embraced herself for an emotional ride for the next four weeks and that was her preparation.

Exiting the apparating point Susan and Hermione had astounding expressions on their faces with jaws dropped down. Hermione sure had seen the Manor almost ten years ago but it was nowhere as majestic and enchanting as what stood in front of her eyes now.

Another figure popped beside her which caused her to whip her wand out.

"Still the same old Granger. Constant vigilance, right."

"Yeah, Theodore Nott", she sighed and simultaneously exclaimed "what are you doing here?"
"I am the one who contacted Ms. Bones here on behalf of Mrs. Malfoy."

"That means my current predicament is because of you."

"And why would the Brightest witch of our age call this warm welcome as a predicament?"

"Maybe you are unaware, but I don't have very fond memories of this particular place."

"OH!" was the only answer he could manage while he was busy thinking what she was referring to.

"Yes, so where should we walk towards?"

"Ah, right. Miss Granger, Miss Bones if you would follow me to the study."

"And when will I have the pleasant pleasure to meet the soon to be groom, Mr. Malfoy?", she said with words laced with sarcasm.

Theo just smirked in response and signalled towards the pair of French doors amidst the lush green gardens with a scenic beauty.

As they both were led towards the study through the numerous hallways, Susan whispered, "you okay?"

"Yeah, it is better than expected."

Meanwhile in the south tower, Tipsy, the house elf was on the way to her master.

"Master Malfoy", she spoke in a squeaky voice, "Mrs. Malfoy has asked for your imminent presence in the study."

"Okay, Tispy but do you know why?"

"No, master", she replied and took a step back.

"Typical", Draco sighed.

Draco walked to the destination only to receive a shock in his life.

"It is just you, I thought .... nevermind."
