All Hermione wanted to do was to return to Hogwarts and finish her education with a bang as Head Girl. After that, she had her whole life sorted out. She would work things out with Ron, work at the ministry, and become Minister for Magic one day. The universe, as usual, had other plans.

Draco certainly wasn't expecting McGonagall to pick him as Head Boy but Harry Potter declined and as per usual, he was the second choice. Unsure what the people back in school had in store for then after all the Death Eater business they were involved in, he returns to Hogwarts with his friends to finish their education anyway.

Neither one saw the partnership coming, nor the friendship forged between their two sides. They really didn't plan for any of it to happen - the law, the friendship or the love that changed both of them.

Here's another round of betrayal, forced laws and love found in the most unexpected places.

Love Changes (Dramione)

The thing about planning marriage proposals is that many factors need to be considered. By the eve of New Year's, Draco was a nervous wreck. His mother's arrival was, as usual, his saving grace.


Narcissa Malfoy had only met Hermione's parents once. When Draco asked for her hand in marriage. The first day Draco spent with the Granger's, he was sure that he already had them wrapped around his little finger. If he were to succeed with his initial plan, he needed their go-signal as soon as possible.


The Granger's sent Hermione on a trip to the store that day, with an extra long list of things to buy. Narcissa floo in, and together, they spoke with the Grangers regarding the engagement.


The Granger's had only given Draco their blessing after a New Year's eve morning filled with hot cocoa. There was much to be done if he were to make it to his midnight deadline.


"Where is she?" were Narcissa's first words as she entered the Granger's home 


"Upstairs. Celine and Astoria are keeping her distracted. Please tell me you've brought everything." Draco begged


"Draco, you dare underestimate me?" Narcissa looked at her son pointedly


"Of course not, mother. I just want everything to be perfect—"


"Narcissa! You've arrived!" Jean exclaimed delightedly and offered Narcissa a quick hug 


"Yes, and I come bearing gifts. Late Christmas presents, if you will." Narcissa smiled and pulled a large bag out from her tiny purse 


"You didn't have to." Dan smiled as he took it, unsurprised with the magic that concealed the presents


"Blaise and Pansy?" Draco asked Narcissa


Their friends had pretended to leave earlier, making Hermione believe that only Celine, Theo, Tori and Viktor can stay. Little did she know, they had a little plan in mind.
