When I got back to Malfoy manor it was dinnertime. Overloaded with bags I climbed the stairs to find Draco once again sitting on our bed writing on that same damned piece of parchment. When I came through the door he looked up at me and smiled.
"Have fun?" he asked
"Loads, who knew shopping could be so fun?" I said.
After changing into dinner clothing we had dinner. Lucius sat at the head of the table. Draco on his right, Narcissa on his left. There was a plate next to Draco that I assumed was for me. There was very little talking until Narcissa and Lucius started talking to Draco and I about the wedding.
"Well Draco, Hermione says she would like it in the Gardens here. And Professor Dumbledore will perform the ceremony. You don't have any objections do you?" Narcissa asked.
Draco shook his head. I could tell planning a wedding wasn't high on his agenda.
"Well I'll need guest lists. Tonight if at all possible. We should have the wedding on the 30th of August. That gives you one day as a married couple before you have to go to school. We were going to get you transferred to Slytherin but you are Head Girl so you will be sharing a dorm with Draco anyways." Narcissa beamed.
I couldn't say how disgusted I was. I couldn't tell her that I didn't want to marry Draco and spend the rest of my life with him. She was being to motherly. I couldn't be the one to wipe that smile off her face. So all I did was smile back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The night before the wedding I had to get Draco out of the house and Ginny, Lavender, and Parvarti were staying the night so we could get ready. I was a fit of nerves. I a few hours I would be walking down the isle to become the new Mrs. Draco Malfoy. My new name was going to be Hermione Jane Malfoy. I felt like throwing up.
" Mione, are you ok?" Ginny asked me, seeing my sick look.
"I'm fine," I tried my best to smile, "Just nerves you know? I mean it is my wedding. Even if I do have to marry Draco."
Ginny hugged me.
"So how did Ron and Harry take the news when I owled them?" I asked
"Oh well you know. Ron wanted to floo over and kill Malfoy. Harry wanted to curse him into oblivion and I had to calm them both down. I think Harry is going to accept it. It might take Ron a while thought because you two did just break up." She said while changing into her pj's.
"Oh please," I said, "He was the one who broke up with me. I had nothing to do with it."
Ginny giggled. Lavender and Parvarti came back from the tour that Narcissa was giving them.
"It's a wonderful house. Hermione how did you get so lucky as to marry one of the hottest guys in school?" Lavender asked.
"One of the hottest? Who's the other?" I asked. I knew all the girls thought Draco was hot but I haven't herd any one else's name.
"Harry of course. We just don't say it around you because you're his friend and all." Parvarti said matter of factly.
I rolled my eyes. Ginny was hiding under the covers blushing.
"So Ginny, enough about my love life seeing as how it's oh so boring. What about you and Harry?" I asked, a sly smile playing at my face.
Ginny turned even more red if that was at all possible. "Nothing really. I mean he did ask me to come to the wedding with him even though I have to be here anyway." She said with a small smile creeping up across her mouth.
Lavender and Parvarti squealed. They love gossip. I rolled my eyes. It was about time those two go together. I knew that Ginny and Harry have had feelings for each other forever. They were just too stubborn to tell one another. After more food and gossip we finally fell asleep.
~~~
"Draco I refuse to let you go! You can't what about me? What about our baby? This is suicide!" I screamed, tears threatening to spill.
"Mione, my love, I promise to come back. I have to do this. I have to face him once and for all." With that Draco walked out of our house and I began to cry.
~~~*
I bolted out of bed. Another dream? What in the world is going on? I wanted to find Draco. To make him never leave me again. But I knew I was going to see him in a few hours. The wedding was at noon. I looked around and every one was still sleeping. I flipped over my pillow and fell back asleep.

"HERMIONE JANE GRANGER! GET UP!" Ginny screamed.
"You know Gin, you should really start calling her Malfoy." Lavender said.
"Well she's not going to be a Malfoy if she doesn't get her arse out of bed and start getting ready. " Ginny said.
"I'm up" I said groggily.
"Good now go hop into the shower and change in to your dress. You have ten minutes." Ginny said shoving me through the door.
I put on my dress. I didn't put on my heels because I knew my legs we going to be aching by the end of the day. I walked out and immediately I was surrounded by make up and hair supplies.
"Now sit down. We have to get you ready so we can get us ready." Lavender said.
I sat down and let them do their magic. (a/n: hee hee) When they were done I looked in the mirror and caught my breath. My hair was done up in an elegant bun with a few curls framing my face. My makeup was light but still noticeable. My veil was clipped up right above my bun. I looked fabulous. A few moments later every one was ready. There was knock on the door.
"Hello dears it's time for us to start walking." Narcissa said.
Well all went down stairs. I saw my dad and hugged him.
"Hi daddy. " I said trying not cry.
He hugged me back and kissed my forehead. " I missed you too Princess."
The music started and walked down the isle. I could feel every eye on me. Draco's mouth was slightly open at the sight of me but then he regained his composure. I walked passed Pansy Parkinson who had a scowl on her face and I had smirk. At least that cow couldn't get him. Harry smiled at me and Ron had a mixed look between hatred towards Malfoy and awe towards me. I got up to the alter and Draco took my hand.
The rest went by as kind of a blur until Dumbldore said, "you may now kiss the bride."
I was stunned. How could I have forgotten this part? Draco's hands snaked around my waist and instinctively I put my hands around his neck. He lowered his face to mine and I raised mine up to his. I could feel his breath ghosting over my upturned lips. Finally our lips met in a soft kiss. My breath caught in my throat. I had been kissed before, but nothing like this. Shivers ran up my spine as our lips parted and he raised his hand up to my face and caressed my cheek.
I could hear people cheering in the background, but I kept my eyes on my once sworn enemy, now wedded husband. Draco looked away first. Turning my attention to the crowd, I sought out Harry and Ron, both of whom were sitting in the second row and looking faintly nauseous, but clapping none the less. Harry definitely seemed to be taking this better than Ron. He caught my eye, winked and mouthed 'You look beautiful.' Smiling, I blushed and mouthed back 'Thank you.'
I looked towards Ron, but he was determinedly looking anywhere but me. My smile fell slightly. What was his problem? He broke up with me remember? I walked down the isle hand in hand with Draco. I saw the Weasleys sitting in the back. Mrs. Weasley gave me a big smile. I smiled back.
Once outside Draco and I broke apart and I headed upstairs to changed into my reception dress. My hands were shaking with nerves. I was now Mrs. Draco Malfoy. And for once I didn't feel like throwing up.
"Have fun?" he asked
"Loads, who knew shopping could be so fun?" I said.
