Draco walked in and saw Hermione drinking with his parents.

Draco couldn't believe his eyes as he walked into Malfoy Manor to find Hermione Granger sitting with his parents, sharing drinks and engaging in lively conversation. His parents seemed oddly approving of the situation, praising Hermione and even suggesting she would make a fantastic Malfoy.

Lucius, wearing a smirk, spoke up, "Hermione is perfect for you, Draco, and she can hold her alcohol. She will be a fantastic addition to the Malfoy family."

Narcissa, with a smile on her face, chimed in, "Yes, she will be, my dear. She's a remarkable young woman." Draco couldn't help but grin at the idea.

Lucius continued, relishing in the mischief, "She told us she wanted to put a curse on Ron Weasley."

Narcissa, her smile widening, added, "Bellatrix would be good for that task."

Hermione, unable to suppress her mischievousness, grinned and replied, "Oh, I wanted to rip his head off!"

Lucius chuckled, finding amusement in her fierce determination. "You are so much like your uncle Klaus Mikaelson."

Narcissa nodded, her smile turning nostalgic. "Yes, and you have the same spirit as your father, Elijah."

The realization dawned on Draco that Hermione's fiery nature and her desire for justice aligned with his own upbringing and family traits. This unexpected connection made him feel a deeper bond forming between them. The idea of Hermione becoming part of his family seemed more appealing than ever.

As the night unfolded, Draco couldn't help but envision a future where Hermione stood by his side as his equal, partner, and, eventually, his wife. The eight year at Hogwarts had brought about unexpected changes, but perhaps the most surprising of them all was the blossoming love between Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger—a love that transcended old rivalries and united them in a shared purpose.

Little did they know, their newfound bond would not only change their own lives but also alter the course of history, proving that sometimes, the unlikeliest alliances could bring forth the most extraordinary outcomes.
