Ch. 11
Hermione sat in the manor’s garden holding Abraxas with Ginny and Molly. They all had worried looks on their faces. It had been 3 weeks since they had last heard of Tonks. Her regular visits to the manor had abruptly stopped. At first they had not thought much about it. Tonks had informed her friends that sometimes Voldemort would have her stay at home, or include her in regular meetings and other functions of the new government. By the 5th day of her absence they knew something was wrong. A week later Severus confided in Ginny that Voldemort had discovered that Tonks was using her talents to pass off as Bella.
Ginny’s shocked silence gave nothing away, and it was only by sheer will that she had held in the news another 3 days before being able to confide in her friends
Hermione got up again and walked with Abraxas in her arms, her pregnant belly protruding slightly.
“We would know by now if he killed her, we would have heard.” Hermione told them
Molly sighed, “We know dear, but it doesn’t stop us from worrying about her”
Ginny kept her eyes on her children who were playing a few yards away from them.
“We need to keep our thoughts occupied or we will go mad. I can’t even think about Draco and Lucius…” Hermione trailed off
At the mention of this Ginny looked at her oldest friend, the smartest witch of her age, this was not how her life was supposed to turn out. By all rights she should have married her brother, and had children that would have called her aunt. Ginny did not usually take such dark thoughts. However Tonks predicament, and Hermione’s situation made her even more thankful for her relationship with Severus.
“Lucius is in control of his emotions and can still provide for you” said Molly.
“Yes, but the Dark Lord still favors Draco more. Even though he has endorsed their decision to let me choose, I know that Draco will fight the decision if I don’t choose him. Lucius would be more even tempered in taking the loss. Even he has said how much he wishes I would give Draco a chance.” As soon as Hermione said it she knew she had arrived at her decision, it just took saying it out loud to realize it.
“So you have decided” whispered Ginny
“Yes, it is the only way that I can find some peace in this house. And it might be the only way to form a real family under these circumstances.”
It seemed so simple to her now, with their continued anguish over Tonks, Hermione had not thought much about her impending decision, but now in sharp contrast with Tonks unknown situation it seemed almost easy. All she had to do was choose a husband, a right that all other muggleborn women had taken away from them.
“It’s getting late dear. We should get going.” Said Molly as she stood and strode over to her grandchildren. Leaving Ginny and Hermione alone with Abraxas.
“I know your life is not easy Hermione, and it is nothing that we would have ever imagined, but I hope that you and Draco can find some sort of happiness.” She moved to embrace her friend
“Thanks Ginny, I hope so too.” And she hugged her back, wishing with all her heart that she had made the right decision.
Later in the evening at the manor
Hermione had just told Lucius that she would choose his son.
“He loves you, and as much as I come to care about you I can’t offer you that.”
Lucius was lying but it came easy to him. It had taken almost losing her to realize how much she had grown on him. The other women he slept with wanted him for his fame and status. When she smiled and talked to him he knew it was real. He should have married her outright from the start, but his pride and his son had not allowed that. Oh well hindsight is 20/20 he wouldn’t stop her, or fight the decision. His son deserved some chance at happiness too.
“You should go and inform Draco, I would like to take care of Abraxas this evening”
He walked out of the room and towards the nursery, towards his younger son. He didn’t spare her a glance, and decided that he should work on the relationship with Abraxas and be the father he should have been to Draco.
Hermione stood there, and gathered up her courage. She would tell Draco now.
As she walked from Lucius study towards Draco’s new quarters in the guest room. She lost herself in thought. And found herself in front of his door without really remembering how she got there.
“Draco?”
“Hermione”
Draco’s entire face lit up, he had been giving her space. Though he desperately wanted to get closer to her. Her missed her presence, her scent. At the moment he felt that looking at her face again was enough, particularly since it was the first time since the incident that she looked as happy and relaxed.
“I choose you Draco” She blurted out
In an instant he engulfed her in his arms
“I am so sorry Hermione, I promise I will never put you thru any of that again” He inhaled into her hair, loving the smell of her shampoo.
“Please let me kiss you.” Draco asked her
Hermione was surprised at him asking her permission, and only managed to nod her head.
His kiss was passionate, but restrained. Instead of overwhelming her, it felt as if he was taking his time, and letting her dictate the pace. Hermione could tell that he was fighting for control over himself because his erection had been pressing against her almost since he started holding her
“Draco,please”
Draco thought that if she wanted him to stop he might die. Instead when he looked at her he saw lust and hunger on her face.
He moved his hands over her breasts, how he had missed them. He picked her up and laid her on his bed.
He unbuttoned her blouse, and placed a kiss onto the newly exposed skin. And started nuzzling her breasts. Hermione knew what he wanted and nodded at him as he looked up.
With a lazy flick of his wand he removed their clothes, and settled between her legs. And began running his tongue over her nipples. Kissing each one, and sucking slowly. He loved suckling her, it gave him such an intimate connection with her. As he started to suckle, he played with her clit and felt her grow wetter under him.
“Draco, please I need you”
He obliged her and spent the night reclaiming Hermione, and laying the foundation for their new relationship.
