Sunday Afternoon
Hermione shook her head in dismay as she walked past Malfoy and reached into the refrigerator, pulling out the bowl of left over stir fry. As she started to fish the last of the meat out of the bowl, she said, "Draco, your compensation package is more than generous and I accept." She gave him a small smile.
"Excellent!" Draco said as he watched her put the left over meat onto a plate and put it into the microwave. Hermione wasn't sure if his comment was directed at what she said, or at what she was doing.
When the microwave dinged, Draco went to open it, but she pushed him aside. She took the plate, a fork, knife and napkin and set it all on the table. Draco sat down and closed his eyes as he breathed in the scent of the beef and chicken. She poured him a glass of water and sat it next to the plate and then sat down, watching him eat.
He looked like a small kid, practically dancing with joy with each forkful he put into his mouth. She couldn't help but smile at him. As she watched him she chuckled, "Draco, do you eat anywhere but here?"
"I eat out or have takeout most days. I hate going to the Manor unless necessary. Father is always moping around and Mother is always trying to drag me into helping her with the next charity event or gala she's planning."
"Well, have ever you considered cooking for yourself?"
He just shrugged as he ate another bite. "Lokee will cook for me if I want something, but he's elderly and frail and I don't want him working too hard."
Hermione's brow crinkled. "Is Lokee a house elf?"
"Yeah, and before you start lecturing me about elf rights, he's been offered a salary and he refuses it. I've offered him a cushy retirement as well and he won't take it. He's the last elf in his line and says he'll work until the day he keels over."
Drako took another forkful of beef, chewed and swallowed. "And I don't want that day to be anytime soon. He's over 200 years old and has been taking care of Malfoy's his entire life. It was quite an accomplishment getting him to leave the manor and come to my flat instead. Mother was tiring of him because he would forget that he had already cleaned the atrium and would clean it again while forgetting to clean Father's study."
Draco sighed. "I try to clean up after myself without him seeing so he doesn't have a lot to do."
Hermione smiled warmly. "Sounds like you love him very much."
He took a drink of water and then asked, "So, when can you be in Dallas?"
Hermione took a deep breath and exhaled. "Umm, I guess I can start in a week?" She looked around her apartment. "I need to figure out what to take and what to leave."
"Your Dallas apartment is already furnished, so you won't need a lot." He tossed his napkin on the table and leaned back. "Let's get you moved on Saturday, then. I'll show you Dallas's magical community and you can get situated. Then you can start work on Monday."
Just then, the floo activated and Theo came in. She stood up and walked over to him giving him a kiss.
"Whad I miss," he asked as he took Hermione's hand and walked to the table. He sat and pulled her onto his lap.
Hermione looked from Theo to Draco and said, "looks like I'm heading to Dallas next Saturday to get moved in and then starting my job on Monday." She seemed distant as she said the words while her eyes shot around the room, like she was in thought.
"That soon?" Theo asked, shooting Draco a questioning look.
"The sooner the better. The wizarding world is in a crisis or hadn't you noticed." Draco shot Theo a smirk.
Theo looked back at Hermione, "well, I had hoped to take my witch on a little vacation before she had to start working again."
This brought Hermione out of her mental cataloging and list making and she looked at him with a flirtatious smile. "Really?
Draco stood and started to walk towards the fireplace. "We move on Saturday at noon. Just be back and ready to go by then." With that he threw a handful of floo powder into the fireplace and was gone.
Hermione turned back to Theo with a big smile on her face. "A vacation? Really?"
He grinned at her, "Anywhere you want to go, kitten."
She looked at him for a minute and then nuzzled her face into his neck. "Theo, would you hate me if I said I really just want to stay home."
He pulled away and looked at her in surprise. "You don't want to go somewhere?"
She sat up and kissed him softly. "It's just my mind is spinning with things I need to care of. I want to spend time with Harry and Ginny, I need to make arrangements for someone to take care of Crooks while I'm away, I need to go clothes shopping for that Texas heat, and" ... she kissed him again. "I really just want to spend more time with you. We can do that here,...right?"
"Of course, kitten. Whatever you want." He kissed her and then lightly kissed the side of her mouth, her nose, her cheek and then her ear lobe where he then started to trail kisses down her neck.
Hermione started breathing more heavily. "I mean, I know I'll be back here on the weekends, but I just want to enjoy being home for a stretch before life gets crazy."
He started unbuttoning her blouse as he was now kissing her collar bone and pushing her blouse out of the way. "Whatever, you want, kitten."
"Besides, it's time you got to know Harry and Ginny," she said as her mind started thinking about which night would be best for a dinner gathering.
Theo's lips were now kissing the swell of her breasts as he had her shirt almost completely unbuttoned.
Hermione was looking towards the plants in her windows with Crooks sleeping in between. "Someone will have to tend to the plants as well." She looked back towards the kitchen. "Oh, and also.."
"Kitten," he said softly interrupting her as he started to unhook her bra.
She didn't hear him as she continued, "I'll have to make sure to clean out the refr'"
A stern voice interupted her. "Miss Granger!"
This got her attention, which she immediately directed to the wizard on whose lap she was sitting. Dominant Theo was present and accounted for and Hermione felt the blush come over her as she suddenly noticed her state of undress.
"Please stop talking, Miss Granger. Your wizard requires your attentions at this particular moment." He grinned as his mouth moved towards her nipple which he licked, causing her skin to pebble. He then took the nipple into his mouth.
Hermione suddenly became very warm. "Oh he does, does he?" She whispered seductively back at him.
Theo stood, picking her up and laying her back on the kitchen table. He leaned over and kissed her hungrily as his hands massaged her breasts.
Suddenly there was a loud crash and a yelp. Theo jumped and Hermione sat straight up to see Harry with his hands over his eyes, a bag laying on the floor at his feet. He was slowly trying to back out of the kitchen without looking. "Oh Merlin! I did not need to see that!"
Hermione scrambled to cover herself, jumping off the table, turning away and rehooking her bra before buttoning her blouse.
Harry was back in the living room and Hermione could hear him talking to himself. "Note to self, no more just popping in on Mione."
Hermione suddenly saw the humor in the situation and started to laugh. Theo started to chuckle beside her and within about 5 seconds they were both in absolute hysterics as Harry yelled from the other room, "This in NOT a laughing matter. That vision is now branded on my brain."
Hermione was bent over holding her stomach willing herself to stop laughing. "I can't...I can't breath...oh Merlin. Stop." Her laughing finally started to subside and she reached out for the counter to steady herself as she stood up. When she had finally gotten control of herself, she looked at Theo and the minute they made eye contact they were both back in hysterics.
Harry yelled from the living room. "Don't mind me! I'm just sitting here, eternally scarred for life."
When she finally had complete control of herself, Hermione walked into the living room, Theo behind her.
Hermione looked towards Harry, who was looking the other direction. "Harry, I'm so sorr.."
He interrupted her, still not looking at her. "It never happened. Never, ever mention it again. I'm just going to sit here for a minute and try to erase the vision from my brain. You might have to obliviate me."
He finally turned toward her. She could tell he was trying to look serious but the corners of his mouth were quivering as he tried to hide his smile. Finally he lost the battle and he started to chuckle. Hermione dashed over and hopped onto the sofa next to him.
She smiled at him and ruffled his hair. "So what's up, Harry?"
Theo sat on one of the chairs and watched his witch with her best male friend.
"I, uhh brought the dress that Ginny borrowed as well as some pictures I thought you might like to take to Dallas."
Hermione jumped up and ran around to retrieve the bag he had dropped. She brought it back and sat down next to him. She pulled the pictures out and smiled as she looked at them. "Theo, come look at these."
Theo walked over and sat next to her on the sofa. The three of them now sitting together as she looked through them. She smiled at a picture of Herself, Parvati and Lavender sitting on the sofa in the common room. She felt herself tearing up seeing Laveder, who had died in the Battle of Hogwarts.
"Is that the Gryffindor common room?" Theo asked, taking the picture and a couple others with it which had all been taken on a Saturday in their 5th year.
Hermione smiled fondly at the memory. "Yeah, that was a rainy Saturday everyone was hanging out. Umbrige's reign of terror was in full swing so no one wanted to leave the safety of the Gryffindor common room."
Next was a picture of everyone in the DA. "Look how young we all were." Hermione, once again felt herself tearing as she saw the faces of lost friends smiling and waving at the camera.
Theo took the picture. "It's quite extraordinary, you know. What you all did."
Hermione looked at him and gave him a smile. Then she turned to Harry. "Harry was a wonderful teacher."
Harry half smiled and shrugged. "None of it would have happened if Hermione hadn't been the driving force behind it. It was all her idea. The club, the coins...all of it."
Hermione laughed at the picture of Hagrid with Norbert. "I've never seen this picture! Where did this come from?"
Harry laughed. "Hagrid sent it to me a year ago or so. Said he knew how fond we were of Norbert and wanted us to have a picture."
Hermione laughed. "You should have Charlie take a picture of Norbert now and send it to Hagrid."
The next picture was of Hermione and Luna sitting at a Quidditch match. Hermione's eyes lit up. "Theo, you're in this one!"
Harry and Theo both leaned in on either side to get a closer look. The picture showed Hermione and Luna's attention glued to something to their left on the pitch. Theo was sitting behind them but was looking at the back of Hermione's head. Theo laughed. "See, I told you I had a crush on you while at Hogwarts."
Hermione blushed and smiled at him.
"Oh my gosh. Harry, you should keep this one!" It was a picture of Harry, Remus and Sirius sitting in the kitchen at Grimmauld place.
Harry smiled, "I have another one."
Hermione was starting to cry. "I can't look at these anymore, right now. It's still so hard." She turned to Harry and hugged him. "Thank you, Harry. I'll treasure them."
"We thought you would like to take them with you. I'm sorry they aren't framed. When Ginny and I got back from your place earlier today, we decided we wanted you to have pictures to remind you of your friends back home. There's pictures of the Weasleys, Ron, even a couple with Dobby and even 1 with Kreacher.
"They're wonderful, thank you." Theo was rubbing her back. "Harry, when can you and Ginny come to dinner this week?" She turned to Theo and smiled, before turning back to Harry. "I want the two of you to become better acquainted with Theo here." She was patting Theo's knee.
Harry ran his hand through his hair as he smiled, "Yeah, I fear if I had arrived any later this afternoon, I might already be much better acquainted with Theo."
Hermione and Theo laughed and Harry started to chuckle. "I'll check with Ginny, ok? As far as I know, any evening is fine." He looked at her and frowned. "When do you leave, Mione?"
Hermione sighed. "Next Saturday."
"That's so soon!" He exclaimed.
Hermine shrugged, "Draco wants me to get started."
Harry huffed and then said, in a tone that was not to be argued with, "well, Ginny and I are helping you move. We want to see where you'll be living and know exactly how to find you."
Hermione smiled, "of course, Harry. You and Ginny will always be welcome." Her mind started to imagine how next Saturday would pan out, given that Draco and Theo would be with her next weekend as well.
