Orpheus

• Meeting Grandmother Malfoy •

(Hermione's dress)

Hermione was staring at her dress that she was gonna wear tonight for the big supper with Draco and his mother, trying to figure out how she was gonna do her makeup or wear her hair. She was so nervous, no nervous was an understatement. She hadn't seen Narcissa Malfoy since the war.

Finally she decided on her hair and went to the bathroom to do it. She decided on a half up half down with a rose bun and a few stray pieces to framer her face. Her make up she kept simple. Just a little mascara and lipgloss. She didn't want to over power her make up.

"Mummy," Orpheus called, walking down the hallway to the bathroom where his mother was.

Hermione looked at her son who was at the door frame. He was wearing a light grey suit with black matte shoes. He was trying to tie his tie, it was all messy around his neck. Hermione chuckled a little bit and bent down to help him.

"There you go my love," She said finishing the tie.

"Thank you Mummy," Orpheus said.

Hermione looked at his hair and realized how messy it was. "Come here Orpheus, let me fix your hair," Hermione said, picking him up and setting him down on the bathroom counter.

She grabbed a comb and started combing his hair. She combed it back and he smiled.

"You look berry pretty mummy," Orpheus said, running his small hand down one of the strands of hair that was laying down by her face.

Hermione smiled at her son and hugged him. "Thank you baby," She said, making her son smile.

Hermione looked at the time on her watch. 5:45, it was time to go. She put Orpheus in the ground and they started walking down stairs. Hermione put on her white flats and grabbed her purse. She made sure that Orpheus was ready to go and they walked into the garage.

She unlocked her car and they stepped into it. Orpheus sat in the back in his car seat waiting for his mother to start the car and get going.

Hermione turned on the car and put her seatbelt on. She turned and looked at her son, "Are you ready?" She asked him, he smiled and nodded. "Now remember Orpheus, Grandma Malfoy is very proper, so you need to make sure that you have manners and you are polite,"

"Yes ma'am," Orpheus said.

Hermione turned back around and grabbed the note, Draco had sent her last night, out of her purses. It held directions on how to get to the manor.

Surprisingly there was no magic involved in getting there. She read the directions for another couple seconds before memorizing it and started heading out.

It took 30 Minutes to get there, and on the car ride Orpheus couldn't stop smiling. He was just so happy to see his father again.

When Hermione parked the car, she turned to look at her son. Orpheus looked at his mother, he could feel how nervous she was. He put his hand out and she held it. It made her feel so much better.

Hermione got out of her car and saw Draco standing there. It startled her a little bit but she was happy to see him.

"Draco," Hermione said.
