I love you, brother! (The seasons)

Chapter 18

  Late Spring. Malfoy Manor, London, 1998.
"Hermione, I should present you to my parents! They are amazing, you'll like them and I'm sure they'll like you too very much!", said Draco directing Hermione to the door of the magnificent manor. She was very excited as even in the darkness of the night she could see the beautiful architectural appearance of Draco's home, something she hadn't seen before. Of course she lived in Prague where there are probably the most beautiful buildings, but no building from Prague could make Hermione feel the same she felt when entered in the Malfoy Manor. She fell inlove with it, feeling like she finally was HOME.
Draco and Hermione both entered in a big chamber, the guest room.
"Mom, Dad!", Draco called his parents.
It was late in the evening when the two graduates came from Hogwarts, and Draco's parents were sleeping, but their son's shout woke them up. Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy came down from the upstairs wearing their night suits.
"Draco, what's going on?!", asked Narcissa.
"Mom, Dad, I present to you Hermione, my...friend from Prague!", said Draco.
The Malfoys looked at Hermione and greeted her:"Good evening, miss! Welcome to Malfoy Manor."
"Good evening! Nice to meet you!", replied Hermione ashamed. She was looking at Draco's parents with astonishment. They appeared to her very noble, even in their pajamas.
"Draco, can you give me one minutes?", asked Lucius.
"Sure!", answered Draco and joined his father in the next room.
"Can you explain, why me and my wife were disturbed so late and had to appear in front of a young lady in our night suits? Couldn't our meeting wait till tomorrow?", said Lucius with a quiet voice.
"Father, I'm sorry, but can we offer Hermione a room as long as she will be in London? I don't want her to go to a hotel when our house is so big and here she can feel much more comfortable. She will stay just a few days!", said Draco.
Lucius looked at Draco with a thinking face and then said:"Sure, but I hope you trust her enough, because I'm allowed to have some doubts! Remember that day in the Franciscan Garden, when she didn't come to meet you.".
"Oh, Dad, she simply didn't receive my letter, although no letter from me arrived to her the last 3 years! I ensure you, we can trust her! I give you a Malfoy's word!", replied Draco.
"Ok then.".
Late Spring. The house of Lestrange family, Prague, 1998.
Bellatrix was reading a fresh Daily Prophet. She opened her eyes larger when saw it's first page covered with the hottest news from the graduation ball at Hogwarts.
"LOVE YOU, BROTHER!
Miss Hermione Lestrange has no shame to appear in the public, namely at her graduation ball at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her well-known 'brother' Draco Malfoy! The young wizards' behaviour definitely showed their affection for each other, which is more than one manifested between common blood relatives and which can damage the prestigious status of young Mr. Malfoy's parents won with their decency and dignity.
However Draco Malfoy seems to be pleased in Miss Lestrange's company, we don't believe he woos her consciously! The young witch probably gave the young wizard Amortentia or bewitched him in another way! As we know, Miss Lestrange hadn't studied at Hogwarts but was instructed at home all the 7 years by her mother Bellatrix Lestrange, whom we know as a Death Eater or a follower of Him Who Must Not Be Named! So we also can suspect that the dark magic was involved there!"

Bellatrix was boiling with rage as she finished to read the article.
