From Hate to... Love? [A Dramione fanfic]

Chapter 7: Wedding Plans and Apology Denied?

Twenty minutes have passed since my Uncle and Aunt had left Teddy in my care. I could hear small little whimpers coming from my bedroom. Draco had gone into the bathroom for a shower. So I stood up and walked into the bedroom to see Teddy rubbing his small teary eyes. "Aww sweetheart, don't cry!" I say in a soft voice. I picked him up carefully and cradled him in my arms. I walked into the kitchen and poured hot water in a bowl before sticking his milk bottle in the water to heat up. I paced a little as he became restless. "You're going to be an amazing mother one day 'Mione'" I turned around to see Draco standing in the doorway without a shirt on.

"Oh, really? I'm not so sure about that" I reply.

"No im serious. You look amazing with a baby in your arms. You have this sort of glow around you" I blushed a deep red and turned so he couldn't see me. "Aw baby! Are you blushing?"

"What me? Pfft no!" I answered quickly.

"Aww I think you were!"

"Oh shush!" I exclaim as Drake wraps his arms around me and Teddy.

Soon I had Teddy lying on the ground with a blanket under his small body. I had placed toys around him while I tried to complete some of my homework. Drake sat opposite me, only asking a few questions regarding his work and small conversation here and there.

Soon our front door opened and two sets of feet could be heard walking through our hallway and into our lounge room. I looked up just as Uncle Remus and Aunt Tonks walked in. They sat on the couch with a sigh as Teddy giggled and reached for his mother. Tonks laughed while lifting the small infant up and into the air.

"I spoke to Harry, his just angry that we kept it from him all these years. I tried to explain why you didn't tell him but he wouldn't listen. Maybe you should just forget about him. He obviously isn't such a great friend or relative." Uncle Remus told me. I sighed while looking down at the floor. I felt two muscled arms encase around me before pulling me into a hard chisled chest.

"But his the only original family I have apart from you, Aunt Tonks and little Teddy!" I reply as tears were slowly cascading down my face. Draco turned me around and raised his hands to cup my face before wiping away my tears with his thumb.

"Mione, you have me, and you have all my closest friends. You don't even know if your real parents are alive but you have your adoptive parents there for you too. Don't ever think that you are alone. Ever. Because whether you want me or not, im always going to be here for you, to annoy you and to love you." Draco said as he placed a kiss on my forehead and held me close.

"His right you know, Hermione, you have us and him. Sure we don't know if your birthparents are alive, but you have the parents that raised you. Who cares about Harry and the rest of your friends. If they don't want to listen to you or sort things out, then im afraid to say they are not there for you at all." Aunt Tonks said as she cradled Teddy in her arms. Uncle Remus nodded his head before adding, "And soon, you and Draco will start a family of your own. You will always have a family Hermione, always" I smiled a teary smile before kissing Draco on the lips and then stood up to kiss Uncle Remus and Aunt Tonks on the check before tickling a playful Teddy before kissing his forehead.

We spent the rest of the afternoon speaking about anything and everything. Aunt Tonks asked about wedding preperations and if we had set a date yet. I looked at Draco and before I could reply, Draco said, "We want to get married on new years eve, so that we could enter the new year with our marriage and a new beginning for us." My Aunt Tonks smile finally reached her ears as she gushed on how romantic that was.

As we continued to all spend time together, we had dinner in our apartment as Tonks and I both had cooked everyone dinner. We had made roast chicken, with pasta salad, mashed potatos, boiled eggs, and butterbeer. For dessert I had made Oreo Cheesecake and nutella brownies with vanilla ice cream.

As it neared sunset, they left, leaving Draco and me alone. I walked towards the lounge room, and he followed before he sat down and pulled me to sit on his lap. "You really want to get married on New Years Eve?"

"Yeah why not Mione? A new year and the beginning of our lives together"

"Well then, we have heaps to plan then. I mean considering we have four months to plan our wedding." I say in excitement.

"Whats there to plan?"

"Oh you have much to learn Mr Malfoy" I say in a joking matter.

"Well Mrs Malfoy, I don't mind learning if your gonna teach me" I giggled before becoming serious.

"We need to plan invites, venue, reception, food, wedding dress, dress robes for you, bridesmaids and groomsmen, the whole works" I say excitedly. Draco just laughs as I just jump around in excitement.

The next few days pass of Draco and I talking about who to invite to our wedding or where to have it.

"I'm going to plan where we are having the wedding and you wont know until the day" I pout before leaning into him,

"Please!! Pwetty Pwease Dwako!!"

"Ahahaha nope sorry Love but no" I pretend to be angry before walking back to the bedroom and headed for the shower.

A week had gone by before Harry and Ron approached me. I was sitting by the Black Lake, waiting for Pansy to meet me so she could help me find a style of dresses and bridesmaid dresses, but also invitations. I just kept staring at the wedding magazine in my hands, deciding just to ignore them.

"Hey Hermione" Harry said. I rolled my eyes at this and kept looking at the pictures.

"Hey Hermione" Ron said as well. I glance up and then continue to look at the magazine.

"Look I'm sorry for the way I acted when you told me who you really were. I was angry that you kept something this big away from me and had me believe that I didn't have a family. Why did you keep it from me?" Harry asked. I decided to ignore him and continue to wait for Pansy.

"Sorry I'm late 'Mione!!! Now lets find you a dress that will make Drake speechless and teary!"

"I truly cant wait Pans!!" I exclaim as she pulls me up and I dust my pants off before grabbing my bag and turning to face Harry and Ron,

"Are you finished? Ive got things to do without you making me out to be the bad guy and get all our friends except Luna to stop talking to me. So apology denied!!" I yell at the end before walking with Pansy to the boundary line of the school. I could hear someone running after us and turned around to see Drake running towards us. I gave Pansy my bag and then started running towards him so he didn't have to run far. Draco stopped and caught me spinning me around. I laughed as he placed me down and kissed my forehead.

"I wanted to give you money for your dress." He says before I could say anything.

"Drake, I cant accept your money, and besides I have enough money for a dress shoes and Bridesmaid dresses. But thank you for offering" I answer back kissing his cheek.

"I wont accept no as an answer, 'Mione, just take the damn thing and buy anything you want. It could be just for yourself or for the wedding, I don't care I have enough anyway."

"But-"

"No buts, just take it Love, and enjoy the shopping trip"

"Fine. Love you!"

"Love you too my Love!" we kiss each other goodbye before I backtrack to Pans. I watch Harry and the others as they stare at us wide eyed.I just shrug as we apparate to New York, because Pansy said it was the best place to start looking.
