It all started with a dance

Hermione was in the ministry along with Ginny and Harry, Ron had decided not to come and Hermione gave Ginny a note for her to give to her brother

"I'm such an idiot, of course, he's not coming," Hermione said

"Give him a moment, he'll be here," Ginny told her

"Ginny, I told him to come with me, I told him to chose, this was exactly why I didn't want to ask him" Hermione ranted

"Seems like the ferret prince is here" Harry mumbled, Hermione turned to see Draco taking his time, he was strolling towards her as if she had all-day

"Granger I just realized, I'm going to be bloody bored here without you," Draco said

"And why is that?" Hermione asked him

"Well you're leaving, and scar-face and the Weasley king can't come up with any insults for the life in them" Draco shrugged

"So what? You're coming with me so that I could keep insulting you and your over-gelled hair?" She asked him, crossing her arms

"Well as long as I could keep insulting your bushy, crispy hair" Draco shrugged

"Oh come off it, I know you like my hair, that's why at the beginning of the school year you copied me," Hermione said

"I didn't want you to feel insecure Granger, I wouldn't willingly try to look like you," Draco said, although they were both smiling

"Fine, I guess you can come," Hermione said as if it was the worst thing in the world

They said goodbye to Harry and Ginny and made their way to the department that was in charge of the porkeys, they arrived and Hermione groaned

"I forgot something" she mumbled, casting a subtle confusion charm on Draco she asked the worker a question, they told her that she could, she removed the spell and took the bottle that was technically the porky

"Where to?" Draco asked her

"You'll see, we can apparate there, and then once we finish we could use the porkey" Hermione told the blond

He grabbed her waist and Hermione apparated them to a small cottage with a big field

"Come on, I have to say goodbye to someone," Hermione said and led him to the door, she knocked and an older woman with blond hair opened it

"Hermione dear, is everything alright?" She asked

"Everything is fine Andromeda, although I'm wondering if I could say goodbye to Teddy?" Hermione asked Draco went silent beside her

"By the way, this is Dra-"

"Draco?" Andromeda whispered, looking to her nephew

"You've gotten so big" she whispered and hugged him, Draco went tense and looked at Hermione who was also confused

"Um..." Draco said

"I used to take care of you when you were a baby, Cissa used to sneak out here with me, when Lucius found out he threatened her that if she kept getting in contact with me that he would take you away, she sent me a letter every week telling me how you were" Andromeda explained

"Y-you know who I am?" Draco whispered

"Of course, my little dragon," Andromeda said, she cupped his face and smiled

"I'm so sorry, about Nymphadora and Ted and..." Draco got cut off by Andromeda

"It wasn't your fault Draco"
