Hello my loves! Ask and you shall recieve. Here is the next chapter. I figured I would post it today instead of Sunday because I am going camping with my family. Like I mentioned before, there is a couple week time jump in this chapter, meaning we are jumping to the start of Christmas break. These next few chapters are going to be plot thick and not have much smut, but it is coming back. I promise. As always, response to reviews are at the bottom and please please please leave me. They really keep me going.
“No more secrets?” Hermione asked the following morning. When they had woken up, after laying in bed talking for a while, the room had provided them with a luxurious bathroom to shower. And shower they did, as well as enjoy each others wet, naked bodies with another passionate love making session.
When their shower was completed and both were thoroughly satisfied, they dressed, with the clothes the room had provided for them, they ate breakfast, gathered their, clothes from the night before, and made their way back to the common room. They were only half way there when Hermione had asked Draco her question.
“Just one,” he replied letting go of her hand and wrapping his arm around her back. Hermione looked at him questioningly. “I would love to do to you what you did to me last night,” he said smiling.
Hermione smiled back and put her arms around his waist. “One day you will.”
The following weeks were packed with studying and finals. Everyone had started getting a little edgy with each other, including Draco and Hermione. No matter how difficult they became with each other, though, they took a couple hours a day for themselves before coming together at bed time to talk and - sometimes - have passionate, loving sex.
Things were fairly calm tonight. They only had one more final exam tomorrow and it was Ancient Runes. Hermione and Draco were on the couch going over their notes one last time before bed.
“You guys have one class tomorrow and you have been there three hours already,” Blaise said from the other side of the fireplace where he was playing a game of chess with Ron. “I’m sure you have the whole textbook memorized by now.”
“Professor Babbling didn’t always go by the book, Blaise,” Hermione said. She was laying on the couch with her head in Draco’s lap.
“Besides, Blaise, we actually care about our grades, unlike you,” Draco said with his signature smirk.
Everyone was so engrossed by their studying, games, or relaxation that no one noticed the portrait had opened until McGonagall cleared her throat, causing half the year to jump. “Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Malfoy, the minister, would like a few words with you.” Behind her, Kingsley stood with a forced smile on his lips.
“If you boys wouldn’t mind following me.”
Hermione sat up to let Draco up, confusion written all over her face. “Don’t worry. I’ll be right back.” He kissed her forehead and made his way to the portrait with Harry and Ron.
Ginny came over and took Draco spot. “Any idea what that’s all about?”
Before Hermione could answer, Pansy spoke from the other couch. “Maybe it’s about Patrick.”
I doubt it. If it had anything to do with him, wouldn’t the minister want to talk to Draco and I instead?” Hermione asked.
“I’m not sure,” Ginny said. “Mum let slip that Patrick disappeared about two weeks ago. Has he said anything recently to you?”
“Patrick? No. I was moved to a different department and if I did see him, I hid. I didn’t even realize he was gone.”
The boys suddenly bolted back through the portrait and up the stairs to the boys dormitories. Harry was the first to reappear, carrying a rucksack. The same one he used when hunting Horcruxes.
“Harry what is going on?” Hermione asked as he bounded over to her.
“I can’t explain in detail right now, but Kingsley needs Ron, Draco and I for an important mission. Can you please extend this?” Harry thrust the pack at Hermione as the other two came back down the stairs.
“Why can’t you tell us?” Hermione asked Draco.
He set his stuff on the island and went to kneel in front of her. “It’s hard for me not to tell you because I promised no more secrets. Please trust me when I say that everything is going to be okay.” He moved his hands from her thighs and held her hands. “This is my chance to start showing the world that I’m different. Will you please extend the pack?”
Hermione saw the pain in his eyes, from having to keep this from her, but also the plea for her help with the pack. Slowly, she pulled out her wand and extended it. As she handed it back to Harry, she asked Draco, “What about Christmas? When will you be back?”
“I’ll be back in time for the Christmas Eve Fundraiser at the Manor. I will see you there. I promise.” He gave her a kiss before adding, “My mother is going to owl you at the start of the holiday, and I have my parchment. I love you.”
“I love you, too.” Hermione threw her arms around his neck to give him one more kiss, before standing to hug Harry and Ron.“You are still welcome at Grimmauld while we are gone,” Harry said as he hugged her.
“Thank you.” Once the boys had left, Ginny, Daphne, and Hermione sat on the couch. “What I wouldn’t do for those eyes.”
Hermione woke up and looked around her room. Make-shift beds littered the floor. After much debate last night, Ginny had refused to let Hermione sleep alone so Pansy, Ginny, Daphne, Hannah, and Luna had stayed with her. Ginny and her had stayed up most of the night talking and both fell asleep in her bed.
“Hey. Any dreams last night?” Ginny said next to her.
“No, but I couldn’t get comfortable.” Hermione replied.
“They are going to be fine, “Mione,” Luna said from the floor.
Hermione looked over and saw all the other girls looking up at her. She smiled and said, “Thanks, guys.”
“We should probably get ready.” Pansy said getting up.
Once Hermione was dressed and ready, she made her way over to her desk to get her bag when she saw her half of the parchment. Draco had written sometime during the night.”
DM: I hope you sleep well, my love. I love you and miss you every minute.
Before Hermione could reply another note appeared.
DM: Good morning, my love. You look beautiful today. How did you sleep last night?
HG: How do you know I look beautiful? You can’t see me. I ended up with five girls in my room last night.
DM: You are always beautiful. Why five girls?”
HG: Thank you. Because Ginny refused to let me sleep by myself after my last nightmare. So Ginny, Pansy, Daphne, Hannah and Luna stayed with me.
DM: That sounds interesting but you didn’t answer my question. How did you sleep?
HG: I tossed and turned all night. I hate not knowing where you are or what’s going on.
DM: I know, love. I don’t like not telling you what’s going on, but I am safe. We all are.
“Draco. It’s time,” Harry said.
“I’ll be right there.”
DM: I have to go, but I will message you after your final. You’ll do great. I love you.
HG: Thanks. I love you, too. Stay safe.
DM: Always.
Draco smiled and cleared the parchment before folding it back up and making his way over to Harry, Ron and Kingsley. “What did the doctor say?”
“He said the given the extant of the accident, they are very lucky to be walking away at all.” Ron said with a relieved look.
“The people from the other vehicle weren’t so lucky.” Harry added. “They are still in the ICU.”
“When will the Wilkins be released?” Draco asked.
“In about five minutes. So here is what I was thinking,” Kingsley said. “I am the only one able to drive so I will take them back to their house. Harry and Ron, stay hidden inside. Draco stay under Harry’s cloak until I have them seated. You will know your cue.”
The boys nodded and headed out of the hospital to find an alley way to apperate in. When they had reached the Wilkins’ home, they snuck around back and made their way inside.
“Nervous?” Ron asked as Harry handed Draco the Invisibility cloak.
“Actually, yeah. A little bit.” Draco said.
They had gathered around the front room window to watch for Kingsley. Draco was trying not to show how nervous he was, but Harry seemed to see right through it. “Everything is going to turn out just fine.”
“What if they don’t approve? What if they get mad?”
“Why would they get mad?”
“This is me we are talking about here. I was awful. Maybe this was a mistake.”
“Stop doubting yourself. Everything if going to be fine.”
Draco nodded and looked out the window again, deep in thought.
Twenty minutes later, a car pulled up in the front of the house. “It’s time.” Ron said. He and Harry made their way to the darkened bathroom as Draco pulled the cloak over himself and stood in the corner.
“Oh, you are such a gentleman for helping us, Mr. Shacklebolt. And to think there was another Brit around here.”
“Dear, you have told the man this the whole way here.”
“Oh, hush, Wendell.”
Kingsley chuckled a little bit as he came around the corner with Mrs. Wilkins on his arm. “Let’s get you two settled in on the couch and I’ll put on some tea.”
“Oh, wonderful,” said Mrs. Wilkins. “The kettle is on the stove, the tea is in the cupboard above, and the cups are in the cupboard next to the fridge.”
Kingsley got them settled and went to the kitchen, only to return a few moments later with two hot cups of tea.
“My, my. That was quick.”
“An old trick my grandmother taught me,” Kingsley said setting the tray down in front of them. “You two are a marvelous couple.”
Draco saw his opportunity when Mrs. Wilkins lay her head on Wendell’s shoulder. He quickly made his way over to them and emptied the vial over their heads. “There is nothing I wouldn’t do for my Wendell.”
“Anyway, Mr. Shacklebolt, you said you had some business…to…discuss…”
Draco quickly made his way back to his corner as Harry and Ron made their way into the hallway and stepped into the front room.
Once the mist had cleared from their eyes, the couple looked at the boys.
“Harry?”
“Ron?”
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Granger.” Harry replied.
Thunderbird: Yes i didn't think it was at all fair for either of them so why not have a little bit of fun with them officially making up. Most of the time, smut is the way to go (I personally can't wait until Draco does all that to her). And i thought that it was a good way to end the chapter because they were getting to know more about each other so why not make it sexual to :).
How was this chapter for plot? lol. I hope. Honestly, i was nervous at first because i didn't want to muck it all up and i wasn't sure how to go about it. Obviously the next chapter will have more dialog in it then this chapter but this was just the tip of the iceburg so to speak.
I read your review a couple of times before I replied. Don't feel bad. After your last response I knew you weren't mad. But i do think that you using Italy is your thing and i don't want to take that (because that whole scene with Draco and Harry was absolutely amazing) but know that you inspired me to do something similar because of how beautiful it was. You are the whole reason behind my stories because you gave me the courage to write my own (I had no idea i would have so many people reading it and actually liking it). I would not have been able to do this without your encouragement. Thanks for being my favorite fanfic author. :)
I really can't wait for more of the extras for ASE and (maybe?) Unstoppable (I reread to where you stopped again and I can almost picture how the wedding is going to go. It's going to be the wedding of the century!) LOL can't wait for your next review and more work posted (no matter what it is :) cause youre the best).
LadyShire: Was this quick enough lol. I was actually waiting to see if you reviewed by Sunday before posting it (which has taken me six hours to post because im at work and this is not work related so ive been trying to hide it and only work on posting it when every leaves me alone for a few minutes lol). What did you think about this little bit of plot? I figured it was time to start moving forward a little bit and get this story rolling again lol. The next chapter will be posted next weekend so you are going to have to wait the week, but that means that it'll be that much better, right? Keep making me smile with your reviews. They are absolutely wonderful and if you hadn't started reviewing, I probably would have stopped posting updates.
