Hermione was also trying not to think about it. Though Draco had insisted that nothing about their relationship would change after his marriage, she was not so sanguine; although she had carefully hand-selected his bride herself, she was conscious of an emotion uncomfortably close to jealousy whenever she recalled that it was Lady Astoria who would be publicly attached to her lover, who would have the right to call upon him and bear his legitimate children. Draco had told her he had no objection to starting a family with her in time, but Hermione refused to subject any children to the Mudblood stigma she suffered from.
