JkR Owns it all....
I only own the plot.

Chapter eight(Vow?)
Third person's POV
~•~

Standing on her doorstep, dressed expensively as usual, were Draco Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy.

"Oh god! Cissa, how good to see you."

Jean Granger hugged her old friend while Hermione's mouth dropped open.

"Its really been long Een, how have you been."
Narcissa Malfoy said in an equally enthusiastic voice.

"Ive been great. And this must be Draco."

"Good morning Mrs. Granger you look lovely."
Said Draco kissing her hand.

"Oh thank you! Draco, you really are a charmer."
Jean complimented to which he gave a smile.

If Hermione was confused before, she was completely going insane right now.

"Why are we talking in the doorstep? Please come in."

The two Malfoys walked in, the female Malfoy flashing a smile to the four kids which the three returned.
Hermione was too shocked to respond.

Draco Malfoy nodded his head to the trio and walked past Hermione passing a certain look towards her.

She didnt understand the emotions in his eyes.

"Hermione why are you standing there? Come on."

Her mum called out to Hermione who was standing near the door , with wide eyes and a really confused expression on her face.

As she heard her mother, the brunnette,  brought a weak smile on her face and sat in the couch with everyone.

"Nice to finally meet you Hermione.
And Merlin, you really are beautiful. I must say that the words dont do you justice."
Narcissa complimented turning towards Draco as she said the last part. He slightly flushed as she said so.

Hermione gave her a smile before thanking her. She really was feeling awkward.
A year ago, if somebody told her thay one day shed be sitting on her living room with Narcissa and Draco Malfoy, having a neutral conversation, she would have laughed at their face considering them nuts.
But here she was.
War really did change a lot of people.

"Hermione you listening?"

She was brought out of her trance by Narcissa.

"Oh..um, sorry what were you saying."

"I was saying that we would finish the business we've come here for."

"Oh....sure."
She said incertainly.

Business?

What was she talking about.

Jean cleared her throat.

"Uhm, so I dont know, where should I start from, but, Hermione I am a squib."

What?

"A squib?"

"Yes honey, my parents belonged to a very rich and powerful pureblood family. "

"But granpa and grandma.."

"No, Hermione Im talking about my biological parents not Eliza and Roberts."

Seeing Hermione's confused face Jean continued,

"I belonged to the Selwyns. My family was filthy rich and pureblood supremacists."

"What do you mean by belonged?"
Hermione asked.

Jean's face saddened for a while but then she heaved a sigh.

"I... I didnt show any magical abilities even till the age of ten. I was a squib. The fact that their sole heiress was a squib,threatened the
pureblood reputation of my parents. So they, they disowned me. They gave me to a childless muggles and spread the rumours in the wizarding world, about my unfortunate death from a deadly disease."

Her voice slightly broke at the end. But she refused to cry, at least not in front of Hermione, considering whats coming for her.

Meanwhile Hermione was beyond shocked.
She felt bad.
Her mum was a great woman. She deserved none of this.
She couldnt even believe how she must've felt when her own parents disowned her just for the sake of reputation.

Jean continued.

"So my parents were purebloods so Cissa and I knew each other since childhood.
We were, are best of friends. After I was disowned, I couldnt talk to her, because she thought I was....dead."

Narcissa started.
"I was heartbroken. Broken to have lost my only true friend. I missed her a lot. One day I was strolling through London when I noticed a girl who looked exactly like Jean. I was 16 then, and even it had been 7 years, I could still recognize my best friend. I followed her and when I finally faced her, I was shocked. Then Jean told me everything and gave me her address. From then on, I secretely wrote her letters and even visited her secretly. But then Voldemort started rising. Death eaters and all those stuffs everywhere. So it became a dangerous thing for us to meet. So we decided to stop our letters and all but.."

Narcissa stopped abrubtly. Hermione noticed the nervousness that filled Narsissa and her mum.

The blonde was the most nervous of all, though the brunnete didnt notice him.

Her eyes were fixated on her mum who sighed.

"Hermione, please take it strongly... We made a vow among ourselver that , that if we happened to give birth to a son and a daughter we would marry them."

Hermione suddenly panicked.
What..
Did she mean what she thought she did?

"W-what do you mean"
Her voice shook.
Her breathing hitched.

"You and Draco are to be married to each other."

I felt dizzy, all of a sudden, breathing seemed difficult. My vision went blurry and 
I couldnt process anything others were saying.

It was then , my mind went blank and all I could see was darkness.
