A guest reviewer on FF expressed confusion over the relationship between Draco and Lexie. They are only friends. Draco is crazy about her as a friend only. She is a lesbian. Draco told Theo in an earlier chapter that he thought Lexie had the hots for Hermione but seeing as Lexie hasn't re-entered the story yet, we don't know if he was right. Time will tell. Sorry for the confusion! Thanks for the reviews!
Monday morning
"I know this is premature, but I'm totally in love with you, Miss Granger."
Hermione was nuzzled into Theo's neck. She pulled back and looked at him curiously. She bit her lip and then laid her head on his shoulder. She said softly, "When I was 7, I had a crush on Nigel Taylor. You see, he was an older and distinguished man of 8 years. He was very clever and funny and liked books as much as me, and I fancied myself in love with him."
Hermione started to run her fingers lightly over Theo's chest as she talked. "Well, one day, I came home in tears because he had played on the swings with that little tart, Abbey Brooks. Abbey Brooks with her perfect blond curls and big green eyes."
"I was completely devastated and convinced I would never love anyone ever again. Well, Mom held me and explained that guys like Nigel were a dime a dozen, and that one day I would meet the "one". And when I met him, I would know it. There would be no question in my mind. He would be a million times more interesting and clever than Nigel could ever be, and she assured me that this man would want no parts of Abbey Brooks, when he could have me instead." Hermione was smiling at the memory.
Hermione smiled warmly as she lifted herself up onto her elbows so that she could look Theo in the eyes. "She was right. There is no question in my mind. I know it's premature, but it doesn't make it any less true, I'm in love with you too, Theo Nott."
She kissed him tenderly and laid her head on his chest.
He was smiling softly and rubbing her back. He grinned and got a twinkle of mischief in his eye. "Huh, Abbey Brooks. Perfect blond curls and big green eyes, you say?"
Hermione looked up at him as he continued, "She sounds like quite a catch. Maybe I should look her up. You know, just to be sure I chose the right girl."
Hermione didn't hesitate as she pinched him on the arm, and then collapsed onto her back. She stared at the ceiling, like in deep thought. She tapped her lip as she contemplated. "Actually, maybe I should give Nigel a call."
Theo pounced on top of her playfully, looking down at her with pure love and affection. "Oh no you don't, Hermione Granger! You're mine now and I'm never letting you go." He dipped his head and kissed her tenderly.
Friday
The week had absolutely flown. Hermione had come to the realization that since she would be home every weekend, there would be no need to bring a whole lot of clothes. She had purchased the toiletries she would need and had packed some clothes that would be appropriate for the early September weather in Texas. She was taking the pictures Harry and Ginny had given her as well as some of her other photos which she had duplicated so that she could have them in both apartments. She decided she would leave Crooks at her London apartment, but if he didn't react well to being separated from her, she would bring him next time.
Theo was watching her as she walked around her apartment "Hermione, relax. Everything has been taken care of. Your wards are so powerful, I doubt Merlin himself could break through them. Crooks will be in great hands between me and the Potters. Anything you don't have that you need you can either buy when you're there, or simply bring next time. You'll be home next weekend."
"I know, I know." She walked towards her stereo and picked through her CD's and albums, pulling out a couple more and adding them to her 'Dallas' box.
The floo roared to life as Harry and Ginny arrived. Hermione shrieked with joy as Andromeda and Teddy came in behind them. Four year old Teddy flew into her arms as soon as he saw her. "Myomee", he shrieked with joy. Teddy had never managed to say her name correctly and somehow his attempts at Mione, morphed into Myomee and it stuck. She put Teddy down who had just spotted Crookshanks and suddenly Myomee wasn't as interesting as she had been. Hermione then hugged Dromeda and introduced her to Theo.
Dromeda explained they couldn't stay, but she wanted to wish Hermione good luck with her new adventure. She was a strikingly beautiful witch. She resembled her sister Bellatrix more than Narcissa, but her hair was a beautiful rich brown instead of black. Her eyes were bright and were green in some light and blue in others. She had the high cheekbones of both her sisters, but her face looked softer and warmer, somehow. She looked much younger than her 49 years. Hermione had wondered more than once, why Dromeda didn't date. If she put herself out there, she would have the attention of more wizards than she could count. But, she held no interest in such things and enjoyed the quiet life in the country with her grandson, Teddy. Harry was very close to them and in turn, Hermione and Ginny were close to them as well.
After Dromeda and Teddy left, Hermione, Theo, Harry and Ginny dug into the pizzas Harry had brought. Theo smiled blissfully as he took a bite into his 3rd piece. He smiled contentedly and said, to no one in particular, "sometimes I really wish I had been born into a muggle family."
Hermione smiled at him affectionately and Ginny laughed as she said, "I know, right? Pizza, movie theaters, television!"
The Potters had been spending a lot of time with Hermione all week, and therefore had spent a lot of time with Theo as well. While Harry liked Theo, Ginny adored him.
Theo was pleasantly surprised to find that Harry was actually a really good guy. It was strange how people often turned out to be nothing like you imagined. But, the truth was they had all changed in the past four years. And the truth was they had never really known each other in the first place. He hoped, for his and Hermione's sake, that Harry and Draco would be able to put the past behind them and be civil to each other. Time would tell.
Saturday
Theo woke up at 7 to an empty bed. He found his witch going through the boxes and bags she had already packed. She had been a nervous wreck the day before and didn't relax until Harry and Ginny had shown up the night before. It was clear Hermione and the Potters were very close and their presence had a calming effect on her.
Theo knew what would calm her down even more, and knew it would be good for him as well, but Hermione was one of those witches who didn't enjoy sex during their monthly. It didn't bother him, it wasn't a big deal and a shower together afterwards would add to the fun. But she was opposed, and therefore they had not had sex since Monday morning.
He climbed out of bed and headed into the kitchen to make breakfast. Crookshanks and LeRoy followed him into the kitchen, knowing what was to come. Breakfast was on the table and Hermione sat down to eat, smiling at him.
"You ok?" he asked her.
She nodded, her expression tense. "Yeah, I'm good."
He watched as she played with her eggs, not really eating them.
They both turned towards the door to the living room as they heard the Floo. They heard Ginny's voice say, "they must be in the kitchen," followed by Harry's voice, speaking slowly and exceptionally loud, "We are coming into the kitchen, now." Ginny giggled.
Hermione turned to Theo, rolling her eyes, "we will never live that down."
Harry smirked as he walked in, "Ohh, so you do actually use the kitchen table for eating."
Theo shook his head and said, "Not any funnier than the last 5 times you said that."
Harry smiled, "oh, I don't know. It just doesn't get old for me." Harry laughed and stole a piece of bacon off Hermione's plate.
Only Hermione noticed Theo quickly replacing it with a piece of bacon from his own plate. She looked at him and he mouthed, "eat your breakfast." She sighed and ate a mouthful of eggs as she turned back to Harry and Ginny who were sitting at the table opposite from them.
Ginny smiled. "So, big day! Everything packed and ready to go?"
Theo interjected, "she's been packed and ready since Tuesday, she just keeps double checking the boxes and questioning herself."
"I just want to be sure I have what I need!" She responded defensively.
"You'll have everything you need, Granger." Everyone at the table turned to the blonde wizard as he walked into the kitchen, promptly walking over and stealing a piece of bacon off Hermione's plate. Theo sighed.
Theo looked at his watch. "It's only 9, Draco. I thought you said noon."
Draco shrugged, chewing the bacon. He swallowed and looked at Hermione. "You're packed aren't you?"
Hermione turned to Theo and then backed to Draco, "well, yeah." She admitted, hesitantly.
"Yeah, that's what I figured. Noon for you means you've been ready since yesterday. I know you better than you think I do, Granger."
Theo stated in a tone that strongly resembled Dominant Theo, "She needs to finish her breakfast." Hermione actually turned a little pink as she turned to him to see him giving her a stern look. She bit off a piece of bacon and replied, "I'm eating, I'm eating."
Ginny lightly kicked Hermione under the table. When Hermione turned to her, Ginny was giving Hermione a knowing look and smirked.
Harry and Draco were oblivious as they were having a silent battle of testosterone. Neither acknowledging the other, yet both more aware of the others presence than anyone else in the room.
Hermione looked from Draco to Harry. "Work this shit out you two. Go talk, or yell or do whatever you need to, but I have enough stress without having to deal with the tidal waves of tension you two are generating."
Hermione shoveled the last of her eggs into her mouth and turned to Theo, giving him a kiss on the cheek as she stood and put her plate in the sink. Theo stood and walked up behind her, "I got this", he whispered as he took her plate. Hermione turned into him and hugged him and then left the kitchen, Ginny jumping up, quickly in tow.
Ginny sighed and collapsed on Hermione's bed when they got into the bedroom. "I'm really gonna miss Theo", Ginny said dreamily while twirling a lock of hair in her fingers. She stopped and turned with a mischievous grin, "Is that what he's like when he goes all Dominant on you? That was kind of hot, you lucky witch."
Hermione laughed. "I'm sure Harry would be very happy to accommodate in that department if you merely expressed an interest."
Ginny smirked, "expressed an interest...as in say, charming myself tied to the bed naked with a riding crop laying beside me for him to discover when he gets home from work?"
Hermione's hand flew to her mouth in surprise. "Ginny, you didn't! What happened?"
Ginny rolled her eyes and shook her head. "He did what he does best. He took care of me. Gently undoing my binds as he smothered me with kisses and made passionate love to me." Ginny's grin turned into a sweet genuine smile. "It was quite lovely, actually." She sighed, "but alas, he either didn't get the hint or he just plain wasn't interested."
Hermione contemplated. "Perhaps a more direct approach. Simply tell him what your desires are."
Ginny sighed and looked at the ceiling. "I wouldn't know what to say. Maybe I should ask Theo."
"Ask me what?"
Both girls turned in surprise towards the wizard who just walked into the room.
Ginny didn't hesitate or miss a beat. "Ask you how I can tell Harry delicately, without sounding liking a tart, that I want him to go all Dominant on my ass and punish me like the naughty witch I'm not but could pretend to be." She huffed.
Theo's mouth dropped in stunned silence. He turned his gaze to Hermione. "You are so in trouble, Miss Granger."
Ginny jumped up. "See? That's all I want.. that right there."
Theo just shook his head and turned to leave the room. Both girls bursting in to giggles after he left.
