Marry me For two Weeks?

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The Granger Family Reunion was taking place on the 1st of November and it was now the 22nd of October.

Hermione hadn't spoken to Draco since the day he had said and was going to pretend to be her fiancé. She was starting to think that maybe he was just messing with her and in a way, she was relieved.

Pretending to be Draco Malloy's fiancé would open up a very, very large can of worms and Hermione was in no way ready for that. Why on earth had she started this whole thing? It was ridiculous to think that it would actually work! Yes, Caroline made her do insane things sometimes, but it was never this extreme and, if she were to tell Caroline that she had lied then sure everything would be easier in the wizarding world but she would never here the end of it from her family and she had no doubt that everybody already knew.

All of her thoughts came to a halt when she heard tapping on the window.

Lifting her cat, Crookshanks of, of her belly, she got of her couch and made her way to the window.

Outside of her window she saw a beautiful snowy owl. It had gorgeous white feathers with black designs and startling blue eyes. Hermione opened her window and let in the majestic creature.

It swooped in and placed it self at the head of her bed, dropping an envelope on her pillow.

The envelope was a classic muggle envelope and hade no stamp. Instead it had been glued shut, by the use of a glue stick.

Hermione went to the drawer of her desk and removed a cracker for the owl, who was watching her every move calmly.

Sitting down on her bed she picked up the envelope and simultaneously moved her other hand to feed the owl. Even after eating it's treat the owl stayed put, signifying that the sender expected a reply.

Hermione gently opened the letter, trying to not rip the parchment inside of it. Inside was a neatly folded piece of normal paper and not parchment. She opened the paper to find an elegantly written message from Malfoy.

Confusion etched its way over to her face as she read the brief, to the point note.

Ganger,

Evening, if we are to pull this charade off then you are going top have to give me some details.

1)Where is this event going to be held and for how long (I need to take time of work.)

2)What is my profession supposed to be?

3)How long have been together?

4)When are we to be married?

5)How long ago did I ask you to marry me?

6)How did we meet?

I am going to need these details if we are to pull this of and would appreciate it if you could send it at your earliest.

Malfoy.

Hermione rolled her eyes at the last line and sighed. So he is serious about this. She thought as she subconsciously pet the blonde's owl.

"Well then…" She said to herself.

She got of her bed and moved to her desk and fished out some paper and a pen. She never used ink unless it was for her work and she had no other choice.

She addressed the letter the same way Malfoy had,

Malfoy,

The reunion goes on for fifteen days in a place the family has agreed on mutually. This year we are all going to California, where all of my family will book a guest house and we will all live together.

I told my cousin that I was engaged to a prestigious lawyer because she is engaged to a doctor. I also told her that we have been together for six months and you asked me to marry you last two weeks ago. I told her that we haven't told anyone we are together because we weren't ready to be a public couple and were still getting to know each other.

As far as how we met and how you proposed I haven't really figured that out yet so, we might have to figure that out together.

Do you have any ideas?

Granger.

Hermione re-read the letter about five times before sealing it and giving it to the owl, who left almost the moment the letter touched its beak.

-xoxoxox-

Hermione paced in her room for thirty-five minutes until the long awaited arrival of Draco's owl.

Hermione rushed over to her window and let the owl in. She picked up the letter almost as quickly as the owl dropped it and rushed back to her desk to read it.

Granger,

Wow that was quick! I only expected an "Ok Malfoy" or "Whatever Malfoy" as my reply.

Anyway, I think that I should be able to take two weeks of.

We should meet up before we leave to discus the remaining details.

Malfoy.

Ps. I forgot to ask when we leave. What are the dates?

Hermione picked up her pen and wrote,

Malfoy,

That's great, thank you so much for doing this! When are you going to tell me why and what I have to do to repay you?

The reunion starts on the 1st so we will leave on the same morning. I was planning on using a port key. The one I have now is only meant for one person but I'll exchange it tomorrow.

That's a good idea.

How about lunch? Is the24th ok?

Hermio (AN this is supposed to be canceled)

Granger.

Hermione quickly sealed the response and gave it to Thalia and by the time Hermione realized that she had just had a normal conversation, be it by mail, with Malfoy! It was too late to retreat the letter which, if anyone else were to read, would assume that the two had a date scheduled the day after the next.

Just as her head started to spin she noticed that she had left her window open after the departure of Thalia and on the floor laid a tinny piece of paper.

When did that get there? Hermione thought,  picking it up and giving it a once over, after which she promptly froze.

Neatly scrawled on the small piece of paper were seven words. The words made her both, want to smile and pull her hair out in frustration.

Neatly scrawled on the small piece of paper were the words,

Hermione,

Defiantly not now and Ok.

Draco.

AN: So I'm not so sure about this chapter. What do you think?
