Following the tour of the gardens, Narcissa asked for rhetorical input about the rest of the decisions. Draco watched Hermione quickly learn that she was not in fact looking for their opinions, rather for validation at all the choices she had already made. The flower arrangements were clearly much too ostentatious for his betrothed’s tastes, but she agreed with his mother nonetheless. Around noon they finally got to sit as they tried the food that would be served, as well as the wine. The only choice they truly got to make was the cake, and even then, he let Hermione choose the one she enjoyed the most.
