Hey Hey everyone! I know! A longer wait this time. This chapter gave me a few issues on the wording and such. Its just a filler chapter. There is more drama to come next chapter I promise. I would have posted this last night but there was a certain show on that i have been looking forward to for over a year now. Im almost done with the next chapter so i should have that posted on sunday this week.
As always responce to reviews are at the bottom.
“…and I should be starting in your department after term starts again, Mr. Weasley.” Harry, Hermione, the Weasley’s, excluding Ron who was with the Greengrasses’, and the Malfoy’s were enjoying a stroll around the grounds after lunch. Narcissa had been asking about Hermione’s apprenticeship while the boys jabbered on about Quidditch.

“That’s wonderful. You could show my newest recruit a thing or two.” Mr. Weasley said. “He was a Hufflepuff and finished a few years before you.”

“Oh, you mean Patrick Johnson?” Hermione glanced at Draco and saw that he was continuing his conversation, but watching her. Patrick was still a touchy subject.

“You know him?” Mr. Weasley said, not noticing the looks between Hermione and Draco.

“We’ve bumped into each other a few times at the Ministry,” Hermione said off-hand. “He’s coming to the ball tonight. I guess the headmistress invited the last two years’ finished students to come as well.”

“That was a wonderful thing to do.” Mrs. Weasley said. “Ginny, dear, I gave your dress to Pansy during lunch. She said she would put it with everyone else’s.”

“Thanks, mum, but aren’t you staying to help us get ready? Mrs. Parkinson is staying.” Ginny said.

“Well, I would like to see it on you. I suppose we could stay, as long as your father says it’s okay?” Mrs. Weasley replied smiling.

“Of course, dear.” Mr. Weasley said before continuing his conversation with Draco.

“Mrs. Malfoy, are you going to stay?” Hermione asked.

“Please, dear, call me Narcissa,” she said smiling. “As long as Draco is okay with it, I would love to stay and help.”

“I would like that,” Draco said, not really paying much attention to the ladies conversation.

“That’s settled then. Tell me about you dress, Hermione.” Narcissa said with a glimmer in her eye.

“Well, it’s kind of a surprise.” Hermione said sheepishly. “Pansy helped me pick it out.”

“She hasn’t even shown me yet.” Ginny said with a pouty face.

“All I’m going to say is that it is primarily blue. Where are you boys going?” Hermione had been watching Draco, to make sure he couldn’t hear them, when the men decided to start walking away.

“Quidditch pitch,” Harry stated as his broom flew to his hand. “Have to prove a few things.” Harry walked back to the girls, gave Mrs. Weasley a hug and kiss on the cheek, and gave Ginny a kiss.

“We will probably be a while,” Draco said to Hermione when he reached her. “So I’ll see you in the Great Hall?”

“Okay.” Hermione smiled. Draco gave her a kiss, then kissed his mother’s cheeks.

“Six-thirty, love.” Draco said as he caught his broom.

“Six-thirty.” She pulled him into a hug and whispered, “I love you, too.” Next thing she knew, she was being held and spun in circles.

After he set her down, he gave her one last kiss and ran after the boys with a new sense of happiness in his eyes.

“Well, I guess we can go upstairs now since it is almost three,” Hermione said turning to the ladies smiling.

“Hey, dad,” Ron said walking into the classroom that had been designated as the boys’ changing room. “How was everyone’s afternoon?”

“It was splendid.” Mr. Weasley replied.

“We spent a few hours on the pitch playing out our favorite plays.” Harry added as he began stripping down to his boxers. “Though, Draco wasn’t at his highest potential.”

Draco felt his face start to redden. “I was distracted so that doesn’t count. Draco was pulling out his new midnight blue dress robes from the robe bag.

“Draco? Distracted?” Theo said as he and Blaise walked in.

“That never happens.” Blaise added.

“When a man is in love, he can be distracted easily.” Mr. Weasley said smiling. He hadn’t taken his eyes off Draco. “Especially when the lady loves him back.”

Everyone was silent for a moment. Then all the guys were congratulating him.

“When did you tell her?” Blaise asked as he started getting dressed.

“Right before she net mother this morning.” Draco smile increased.

“Did she say it back?” Theo asked.

“Not right away. Weas – Ron call us over.” Draco said as he finished buttoning up his white shirt. “But she did whisper it to me before we parted ways this afternoon.” Draco smiled thinking back to earlier that afternoon.

“Someone finally stole you heart.” Blaise laughed.

“And you stole hers,” Harry added smiling.

“I will cherish it forever.” Draco said taking Harry’s outstretched hand.

“So anyone know what the girls are wearing?” Ron asked.

“No clue,” Theo said. “It’s all Pansy’s doing. She wants everyone to be surprised.”

Draco finished straightening out his midnight blue – with gold lining – dress robes. Once he was done, he enlarged the jewelry box and admired the necklace again. It was white gold, like her bracelet, but instead of hearts, it was a yellow gold rose that had an amethyst in the center.

“Purple was always Hermione’s favorite color.” Draco was so engrossed in the necklace that he didn’t notice Ron standing beside him. “She’s going to love it. I’m truly happy for you guys.” Ron patted his back and walked back to his family.

Draco put the necklace in his inside pocket and turned to everyone. “Should we go see who else is here already?”

Everyone agreed and made their way to the Entrance Hall. It was only six-fifteen so everyone mingled with past students and the few current students that were ready. Draco saw George and Ron greet Lee Jordan and Angelina Johnson. Draco chitchatted with a few people, but didn’t stay in one place for too long. He was anxious to see Hermione.

“Draco, my boy.” Mr. Weasley said as Draco passed him. “I would like you to meet my newest recruit and assistant, Patrick.”

“Nice to meet you,” Draco said shaking his hand. “Pardon me. The girls are coming, and I believe your wife is trying to locate you, Mr. Weasley.”

“Ah, yes. Excuse us Patrick.” Mr. Weasley said.

“Of course.” Patrick shook Mr. Weasley’s hand again and disappeared in the crowd.

“Oh, Draco. You look absolutely magnificent.” His mother said coming to him. “You will match her perfectly.”

“Thank you mother.” Draco said, embracing her.

“Now let me see you gift.” Draco smiled and showed her the necklace.

“Oh, my, Draco. It’s absolutely wonderful. I’m so happy for you.” Narcissa’s smile was genuine.

“Thank you mother.”

“Ah, here they come.” Theo said from behind him.

The girls started descending the stairs in groups with their fellow housemates. Fifth years first, then sixth years. The seventh year girls, lead by Ginny and Luna, all came down the stairs at the same time, linking arms. “I’m so lucky.” Harry said from beside Draco. He saw that Ginny was in a red strapless dress that reached the floor, was skin tight and had a slit up to her knee.

Once they had located their friends or partner, the stairs were clean again. All the eighth year guys, that hadn’t claimed their partner yet, took a few steps closer to the stairs. A moment later, all the eighth year girls stood at the top of the steps, arm-in-arm, with smiles on their faces.

Draco made eye contact with Hermione and smiled. She's my paradise.
