Draco had finally popped the question on Christmas Eve while the two were out strolling,  looking at the neighbours’ Christmas lights. He had observed the muggle tradition of asking Hermione’s father first. It had been a complete surprise for Hermione but she said yes. Harry congratulated his friend with a warm hug as soon as he noticed the ring on her finger. Severus shared a moment with Narcissa, they were both so proud of Draco and the way he was going about re-establishing the Malfoy name, as one to be respected not feared in wizarding circles.
