Bowing to him was a challenge, Draco finally released the breath he'd been holding. Realizing that his hand had a death grip on it. "Amelia, my hand needs a break from the grip you have on it."
Relenting on the grip but didn't let go. "I swear to Merlin, if I wasn't raised to be a lady or if it wouldn't cause a disruption. There wouldn't be a descendant line left because, oh the things I'd do to him." Hermione ground out
"Amelia, just breathe. He is not worth working yourself up. I learned that long ago. You did a wonderful job of holding your tongue, you might need to work on your facial expressions." The Queen joked, "Anyway, go try and enjoy yourselves tonight. But just keep your eyes and ears open."
Acknowledging her, they parted ways. Greeting other guests, putting to work some of their mingling skills. Hermione did not stray away from Draco; it seemed that the night was going without a hitch. Everyone was enjoying their time and even danced some. But those were always the famous last words people tend to think when everything was going without a hitch.
"Are you having fun?" Harry was dancing with Hermione, due to Draco grabbing them some drinks
"It hasn't been a complete nuisance," Hermione answered, holding out from busting out laughing seeing him chuckle
"I can't believe that tonight is almost over."
Nodding, "Yeah. I can't believe how much fun I actually had."
"You had fun? That's new."
"Oh shut up." Rolling her eyes
"May I cut in?" Pausing their dance, they turned to find Armond. He was standing by their side. Giving Harry a squeeze, offering a quiet yes.
"Of course." Handing Hermione's hand to Armond, kissing her cheek before leaving them
Starting to dance, Hermione looked at the man who was chuckling. "What is so dreadfully amusing?"
"The lack of respect your generation has. Your so-called fiancé argued with me and stood up for you, then here you are allowing another lad to kiss you."
"I didn't realize that having your brother kiss your cheek meant one was leman." Hermione countered
Seeing him look at her, not believing her. "Siblings with different names? Not good for one's reputation, makes one wonder if you're telling me the truth."
"My father died when I was young of pox." Hermione spoke up, "My mother met Harry's father through the church, and through the approval of God, they joined each other in marriage. He joined our family a year later."
"That is impressive, even if it can still hinder one's reputation. I'm sure you've had to overcome obstacles. However, your Queen's reputation is at its low." Armond smirked, one that Hermione chose to ignore
Taking the bait that was being fed to her, Hermione walked right into his trap. "What is wrong with her reputation?"
"Being as she wants all to be treated equally. Those of muggle and non-muggle origins."
"What is wrong with that? They should be treated equally." Hermione fought him
"Oh, so you're one of her kind? It always surprises me how she has followers, especially when her views are of unsound mind. Just like her child will be, that she's breeding. They're all going to be blood traitors, just like her following." Speaking blunt
"Don't you think that is a bit Harsh, Mr. Malfoy?"
Sneering at her, causing her to feel uneasy. "Life is hard Ms. Granger. Especially for those who do not see the world's order in a proper viewpoint. It will only become worse for people with the same viewpoint, especially those that don't have the backing of powerful families who know how the world should work." Leaving suddenly, the music changed surprising Hermione
Moving off the dance floor, spotting Draco. Operating on instinct, she rushed to him in a manner that didn't draw attention. "Is everything okay?" he mumbled, noticing the state she was in
Turning her head side to side gently, "No. I don't believe so."
Having not noticed Harry there, he moved into action going to the rest of the group and bringing them back to Hermione. Having taken this compilation to the gardens, making notions of the sky. They were secluded enough to have their conversation.
"What's going on?" Blaise asked confused why they were all dragged out of the party
"I think we should leave," Draco spoke, looking to the door ensuring no one was watching them
"Why is that?" Henry asked before the Queen had the chance
"Hermione is getting a bad feeling. That's why." Draco explained
Raising a brow to the duo, "What is it about?"
Shrugging slightly, "I don't know. Something happened and how everything was said, it just is not sitting right. But I just know something is coming."
Clenching his hands in front of him, "We cannot just leave without solid evidence. A feeling of what may or may not come is just not enough."
"Sir, if you may." Harry started, "We have all worked with Amelia and spent most of our lives with her; when she says something is going to happen. You trust that. She has never once been wrong; I trust her and whatever she is dealing with."
"She knows what she is doing. I trust her with my life." Draco spoke, surprising the group
Sighing, "Very well. We cannot just leave; we will need to come up with something believable."
"Queen, can I put a spell on you that will make you feel temporarily ill for a while? It will not harm you or the babies." Hermione explained her question
"As long as it will not harm anyone in the process, do so."
