Scars: A Dramione Veela Story

Chapter 39

Draco's pov

Hermione jumps up off the couch to answer the bell. She's wearing an orange knee length dress with long sleeves. She also has on a blue belt with ballet flats in the same colour. Her hair is falling in soft curls down back. I sit up a little straighter in my arm chair. I was good in social settings, one thing my father had managed to teach me but I'm still nervous about meeting her extended family.

When Hermione opens the door she is hugged and kissed by a group of four people, a couple and two teenaged boys that looked like twins. Hermione beckons me over and I stand up. I'm wearing a button up shirt and a pair of my nicer jeans. I walkover and Hermione puts her arm around me.

"Everyone this is Draco my boyfriend." She says happily.

"Draco this is my aunt Jen and uncle Hugo." She continues as I shake each of their hands.

"And these are two of my cousins, Ethan and Evan." The twins squint their eyes at me and walk away. Just then another man enters the house with a teenaged girl. They both hug Hermione as Jen and Hugo proceed to the kitchen.

"And who's this?" Asks the man.

"This is Draco, my Boyfriend." Says Hermione is a more hesitant voice.

"Pleased to meet you." I say shaking his hand.

"The same. I'm Peter and this is my daughter Hellen."

He continues talking to Hermione.

"Sadly Sharon can't make it. Our little guy Parker is sick."

The both exit the hallway. Then another knock comes from the door. This time it's a young man.

"Hermione my favourite niece!" He cries as he hugs her.

"All grown up I see and who is this." He says catching sight of me.

"My boyfriend, Draco." She says moving back to my side.

"We'll see about this." He mutters as he walks to the kitchen.

"That was Liam my most wild uncle. Only waiting on my cousin Ella now. Oh wait that should be her." She says as yet another knock comes in the door.

"Hermione, oh my god you look so pretty, you finally got rid of that horrible bushy hair and those buck teeth." Says Ella. I see Hermione's smile drop and put an arm around her.

"I think she was always pretty." I say. I didn't like this girl, she obviously didn't know how much her words had affected Hermione.

"Ok, who is this you've never had a boyfriend, and he looks like a model." She asks Hermione.

"This is Draco my boyfriend." Hermione says. Ella grabs Hermione out of my grasp and walks her down the hall. She whispers to Hermione.

"Seriously how did you land someone that attractive?"

I walk into the kitchen to find Hermione but instead run into Ethan and Evan.

"Do you play football? You're in too good a shape to be a bookworm like Hermione." Says Evan.

"Yes I do." I know about a lot of mugle sports and how to play them thanks to my in home library. My favourite had always been football and I had played it several times when I snuck out of the house.

"So we brought a ball." Says Ethan.

"And dinner won't be for a while." Says Evan.

"So let's go outside and play." Says Ethan. I nod and follow them out into the front yard. The sun is still fairly high in the sky and I can smell the flowers lacing the stone path. The door slams shut and most of the family comes to the front window to watch. I see Hermione and wave. She smiles and Ella elbows her, they both walk outside to watch.

"Ready? Those bushes and these bushes are the goals and it's you v.s us." Says Evan. They weren't star players and it was only friendly competition so I did manage a few goals at the end of it.

We walk back inside together, tossing the ball around and making fun of Evan for his hilariously failed goal.
