Draco's view 

Today Hermione and I are going to get our wedding rings. She has her engagement ring on, and we have to make sure her wedding ring matches as well as fits nicely with her engagement ring. We woke up again but this time the room was different Hermione's things were in my room now, the walk-in wardrobe was bigger for room for both of our things, plus, there was a bathroom now which Hermione was in. I got up went into my wardrobe to find something nice to wear to go find our wedding rings at the jewellers. I find a silk emerald button up shirt with a pair of black dress pants, and my black dress shoes. 

As I finish dressing Hermione comes out of the bathroom standing in a silk black dress that has thin straps at the top and the silk folds on its self at the top showing a bit of her cleavage. She has a new pair of strappy black heels on and a simple silver diamond necklace with matching earrings. She stands in front of the mirror to try to figure out what to do with her hair. I move over to her and take out my wand and use a smoothing spell I used for my hair when I was at school. Her hair then moves into smooth waves that fall down her back. She takes out a diamond hair clip taking her hair on one side out of her face. She then moves to face me, and I see she has put on some bright red lipstick which looks great on her, "Draco you should stop smoothing your hair down and maybe mess it up a bit, I like how it looks in the morning when you are in bed. It is all wavy and suits you better than your hair pushed back," Hermione says attaching my hair with her hands. "That's better, not come we are wasting time", Hermione grabs my hand and pulls me away from the mirror. I catch a glimpse of myself and agree she is right my hair looks much better like this than smoothed back.

We walk down the hallway to find my mother ready to go to the jewellers. "Hermione dear, you look excellent, those diamonds I gave you really look good on you, don't you agree Draco," my mother says looking over at me. "Yes, I would agree. Now we best be going as I have a suit fitting later," I say grabbing both my mother's arm and Hermione's apparating us to the jewellers. 

When we arrive, we all head inside to start looking around for wedding bands. Mine is easy, however Hermione's is harder since she has an engagement ring, and the wedding band needs to fit perfectly on her finger next to the engagement ring. We search around the entire shop before Hermione's eyes land on a silver ring with rubies and diamonds. It is thin and will fit flush against her engagement ring, on top of that it has her house colour from Hogwarts on it so with both the engagement ring and the wedding ring they connect us as one. "That one, I will take that one," Hermione says pointing to the ring and informing the jeweller. "Excellent choice ma'am, it will look perfect with your engagement ring", the jeweller says. As we purchase the rings, we walk outside to apparate home but are stopped when Rita Skeeter stops us in front of the door. "The death eater and his beloved golden witch, engaged. When is the wedding my dears?" Rita Skeeter says for the whole world to know. "Next week," I say proudly before we push past her and apparate to the Manor. 

"Well, that was a fun outing, don't you think," Hermione says. "Yes, so exciting. I am sure we will find our faces on the front page of the paper tomorrow. I can't wait for the howlers to arrive. I really must be going though I am supposed to be meeting Blaise and Theo at my suit fitting," I say before kissing Hermione's cheek then apparating away. 

Hermione's view 

"Is there anything left for the wedding that needs to be done. I would love to help with any last-minute details. I am a very organised person as you can see," I tell Narcissa. "Yes, my dear, you are more than just organised. I did not expect you to be so amazing. You are truly perfect for each other. I am so lucky to have you become a part of the family, Hermione," Narcissa says taking my hands in hers. "Now, come along we should go check the flower garden and then the Ballroom. You can help me figure out some decorations and inform me of any last-minute ideas you have floating around in that amazing brain of yours, then I will let you go to read if you wish," Narcissa continues taking my arm in hers as we walk out to the flower garden. 

After a long afternoon, of pruning the flowers, cleaning up the Ballroom, putting up decorations in the Ballroom, and discussing more finer details about my wedding day, I finally go to my room put my pyjamas on and head to the library. There is a comfortable couch in the back corner of the library which I go take a seat on before summoning a book off the shelf. The book that arrives in my hands is a book entailing the history of the Malfoy family. I read through the book finding out who everyone in the family is that I will be soon becoming a part of. There are portraits of each person in the family dating back thousands of years. I come to a page of Draco which has a place next to it which will become my place within the book. On the page next to that one it has details of Draco's life with room for mine along with more room for our life after we become married. The next page shows places for children that Draco and I will one day have to continue the Malfoy line. I pass the book back on the shelf I found it before finding another book that is familiar to me which helps me to fall asleep. My eyes begin to shut, and I fall asleep on the couch.
