Chapter Nine "I know what you're doing," said Harry as he walked into Draco's study. "Have you heard of knocking?" asked Draco as he looked up from his papers. "What is it that I am doing?" "The business with Miss Ginny. I saw you watching her yesterday. You brought her here to get better acquainted with her. Is she the one you want to marry?" "Yes. And?" said Draco looking back at the papers on his desk. "And? You can't go through with it," said Harry. "Why? She meets all of my qualifications for a wife." "Merlin's beard, you are a complete scoundrel. Do you even realize what you are doing? Ginny won't even know what she's getting in

Chapter Eight When they returned to the Manor, they found Harry waiting for them by the stable. "You left early," said Harry, looking somewhat upset by the fact. He helped Hermione down from her horse, and she noticed that he was dressed for riding. "I wanted to show Hermione the wizarding village. I had some books that needed to be delivered there," said Draco. With that, he headed back toward the Manor. He seemed to be in some kind of rush. Hermione turned towards Harry to see that he had a disappointed look on his face. "It was a quaint bookshop, Harry. I could see myself getting lost in it for hours on end," she said. "Hm," was Harry'

Chapter Seven "Are we there?" asked Luna. "Are we at Malfoy Manor?" "I hope the Duke has a horse for me here. It's not fair that Hermione got to bring Persephone along," said Lavender. "Father, is that Malfoy Manor?" asked Luna, looking out the coach window. "I believe so," replied their father. Hermione couldn't help but feel nervous about staying in Malfoy Manor for the next few weeks. It all had to do with the Duke. She would make sure that he didn't follow through with his intention of marrying Ginny. "It's so beautiful!" said Luna. Hermione leaned over Luna to look out the window. There on top of a hill, was Malfoy Manor. It was a

Chapter Six "Good morning, Hermione," said her mother as Hermione made her way to sit down for breakfast. "Good morning, Mother, Father, Luna, Lavender," she replied greeting everyone. "Harry's going to be here any minute so I'll have to eat light." Hermione took a piece of toast and spread some jam on it. "Father, the Duke of Manchester has invited us to have dinner at his town house this Wednesday. He wants the family to become better acquainted." "Hermione," her father started, but Hermione was already gone from the table. "I must go or Harry will be wondering where I am!" Hermione said leaving the dining room. Just as she entered th

Chapter Five "Why in the world did you go back to talk to Miss Abbott during intermission last night?" Harry asked Draco at breakfast. "Because she was extremely annoying," replied Draco. "You told her off, didn't you?" "Me? What would give you that idea, Cousin?" asked Draco as he smiled. "You are in an abnormally good mood today," noticed Harry. Draco shrugged his shoulders. He had thought of an ingenious plan last night that he couldn't help but smile when he thought about it. "Do you want to go to Diagon Alley with me today? I need to go to Flourish and Blotts." asked Harry. "Not today. I have business here that needs to be attend

Chapter Four "So when do I get to meet Harry?" asked Ginny Weasley to Hermione. They were currently riding their horses through the park. "Hopefully this afternoon," replied Hermione. She didn't notice that she had started to stare off into space. "What's the matter?" asked Ginny. "I'm just thinking about married life," said Hermione with a slight smile on her face. "And what do you plan to do once you're married?" smiled Ginny. "Anything! That's the beauty of it." "As long as Harry supports you then that is what matters," said Ginny. "Yes, you're right." It was so wonderful to have Ginny here in London visiting her. She was as fair

Chapter Three Draco was bored and agitated. There were already rumors swelling between the muggles and the wizards at this ball that he was attracted to the woman his cousin fancied after that group of women saw him with her in the park the other day. Normally at balls, he would spend his time gambling with the men. Most of the nobility that he knew, wizard and muggle alike, had greeted him already. He hardly paid them any attention. He was more focused on Hermione. It was soon his turn to dance with her. They waltzed in silence for a while. He couldn't help but notice that she was tense in his arms. "How are you tonight, Your Grace?" she

Chapter Two The coaches were quite comfortable to Draco, even with Griffin taking up most of the room in between the two seating areas. He would be enjoying the ride more if he wasn't receiving disapproving looks from Hermione's mother. He was beginning to think that maybe he should have just waited for his coach. Draco was pretty sure that everyone in London would be surprised to see him return. In the past, he wouldn't have cared what people thought of him. But now with his return, he was determined to reform himself. Draco had been away from England for over a year helping fight in France's war. He was part of a special division of wiza

Chapter One "Father, I seriously doubt that we had this much luggage when we left London," said Hermione Granger as she frowned, watching some of the ship's crew unload boxes upon boxes of their luggage. With France recovering from the aftermath of its former emperor, shopping in Paris seemed the least bit important to Hermione. But her mother would hear none of it, and insisted that she needed new clothes for her arrival in London. They had made the trip with her father's friend and fellow wizard, Lord Sirius. There were quite a few wizards left in high society. Of course they had to keep that a secret from the muggles, or non-magic peopl

Epilogue Sesshomaru and Kagome were married before a monk in Riyu so Miroku and Lord InuTashio could be present. Lord InuTashio approved wholeheartedly of the marriage, but Sesshomaru and Kagome knew that her father would be displeased. Miroku still had to stay in Riyu due to his injuries and couldn't be moved until a few more weeks. Part of Sesshomaru didn't want to go to the Northern Palace. He was reluctant to face Ichigo's disappointment in them. After all, Sesshomaru wasn't a Lord yet. Although he was confident that he could protect and love Kagome with his whole heart, he was troubled by the fact that Ichigo might not agree. When the
