Chapter Text

Draco took Hermione's hand in his.

"Are you sure about this?" She questioned.

He smiled brightly, "Yes, I'm very sure."

Taking a deep breath, Draco knocked on the door of the Muggle abode.

There was the distinct sound of feet coming towards them.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and Andromeda beamed at them.

"This is a surprise," she told them adoringly.

Draco and Hermione dusted their feet and went inside the small space.

"Sorry to drop in unannounced, Aunt Meda, but this is quite important," Draco rattled off politely.

Andromeda's looked at them curiously, "What is it, son?"

They sat down on the purple sofa. Draco cleared his throat and started to speak, "It's our engagement party in a few days, and we would be honoured if you and Teddy came."

The older woman's face split into a cheerful smile, "That's wonderful news, congratulations, my darlings."

Hermione perked up, "Then you and Teddy will be there?"

Andromeda squeezed Hermione's hand, "We would not miss it for the world."

Turning to Draco, she asked sweetly, "Where is it being held?"

Hermione glanced at Draco nervously. He adjusted his collar and mumbled, "Malfoy Manor."

Andromeda stiffened. Her face turned pale white.

She shot up and stormed out of the room into the kitchen.

"Please, Meda, listen to us. Narcissa misses you every single day," Hermione pleaded as she followed Andromeda into the kitchen.

The regal woman picked up her dress, hurried her steps and came to a halt near an elaborate cookie jar. Opening it, she fetched a large chocolate chip cookie and bit into it.

Perplexed, Hermione exchanged a look of concern with Draco.

He shrugged, wondering what the fuck his aunt was doing.

Andromeda turned to face them with her mouth full of cookies and her eyes glistening with tears.

She swallowed hard and choked back a sob, "To see Cissy again would be a dream come true, how I have missed my little sister."

Draco reached over and squeezed her hand happily, "It is settled then. My mother will be thrilled."

Andromeda cupped his cheek tenderly and smiled in gratitude. Strangely, it felt the same as when his mother did it.
