We lay in the after glow of sex. I smile as his touch seems so familiar, like the last four years didn't pass by without him. His fingers run the length of my arm, up and down, tickling the skin there. I hold back my curiosity as long as I can.
“How did you find me?” I ask, knowing he would have remembered but wanting to hear it from him. He smiles, obviously amused by my question.
“How could I not know? All you talked about was Bondi Beach, and how beautiful it was. As soon as you walked out of the door that night I knew where you were going. I would have followed you, right then, but I needed to do it the right way.” I cringed at his last sentence, it hurt. “I didn't mean anything by that. It was different for you. You needed a clean break. I wanted to make sure when I found you we could be together the right way.”
He eased my pain, but it still made me wonder. I always wonder, everyday, if what I did was right. I know leaving was right, but I wonder if I did it the right way. Should I have explained it to Ron, or would he have found a way to keep me there?
“I know.” I look to the ceiling. “How is Ron, do you know?”
“He's moved on quite well. He handled it better than I would have.” He helps me realize, once again that Ron never loved me as much as Draco. “I heard the other day he was able to get a magical annulment. They aren't usually done but considering the circumstances and since he's one of the 'saviors', they granted it. It was the last loose string for me to come here.”
“What do you mean?” I ask, confused my his statement.
“Like I said, I wanted to make sure we could be together the right way. I got a divorce from Pansy, which she didn't care much about since she got a nice settlement from it. I tied up loose ends at work so I could pass the position to someone else. And I wanted to make sure you weren't tied to Ron in any way.” He smiles, as I look back to him. “So when I marry you, it will legal.” I smile, looking back at the ceiling shyly.
“So what did people say when I left?” I was excited to finally find out my biggest curiosity.
“There were a few speculations. Some quite amusing. One of the most well believed ones is that you were taken by a rogue Death Eater and killed. Repayment for the end of the Dark Lord. You being one of the 'saviors' it's very believable. Also, some say that you ran away to be with Viktor Krum.” He chuckles at that, knowing the truth. “Some say you ran off to America to be a model. Some of them are quite hilarious.”
There is a long silence. I assume he is waiting for me to speak, to respond to his statement. I am sitting silent, dreading my next confession. Knowing it needs to be said, but hate to admit my fault.
“I'm sorry I didn't do this years ago. Admit to it all, or run away with you.” I tear up as I think back to the hurt on his face that night.
“You were right. We were needed. During the rebuild, people needed hope. And they found that in you. You needed to be the strong Hermione for them. And people looked at you and Ron and the 'love story' that came from the war added to that hope. I was able to help people in my position, raised evil but wanting to change. If we had left, we couldn't have done that. I think it was too soon for people to see us together. Emotions were high and who knows how they would have reacted.” He grabs my hand. “Things happen for a reason. We're together now and thats what matters.” He pulls my hand to his face and kisses my palm. I smile widely. He raises his brow, curious about my smile.
“Marry me, eh?” I ask coyly. His face straightens in a serious manner. It almost startles me.
“I will marry you this second, if you'll have me. I waited four years for this opportunity.” He kisses my forehead gently. “So when you'll have me, you let me know.” I can tell he is serious, I have not forgotten how to read his face. I stare into his eyes. His brow softens and he smiles. I reach up and cup his face with my hand.
“Anytime. We have forever.........”
