“Merlin,” Draco sighed as they walked to Transfiguration together. “Don’t ever scare me like that again.”

Hermione blushed. “I’m sorry Draco. I really didn’t mean to trip. I was just so excited.”

Draco gave her a slight smile and shook his head. “So, how are Pothead and baby Snape?”

Hermione quirked an eyebrow. “You know Professor Snape would hex you bald if he heard that.”

Draco chuckled. “Venus might do that all on her own if she’s anything like her father. But you’re avoiding the question.”

Hermione smiled. “They’re terrific. They stayed up really late catching up in Snape’s quarters. I think they’ll be okay. I just wonder how Snape feels about it.”

Draco shrugged. “The man’s an enigma.”

“A lonely one,” Hermione sighed.

Draco frowned. “How do you find a vampire?”

“I wish I knew. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about Nott.”

Draco nodded. “I wanted to as well. I owe him now.”

Hermione frowned. “Why?”

Draco held her close to him and whispered in her ear. “Because he saved my wife from a potentially nasty spill that would have endangered my daughter.”

Hermione shivered, and not in a good way. She’d almost forgotten she was pregnant. She’d have to be more careful. “I really didn’t mean to trip.”

“I know. I’m pretty sure you didn’t trip on your own.”

Hermione’s mouth dropped in shock. “You think someone cast a tripping jinx on me?”

Draco pursed his lips in thought. “I’m not sure. But you are usually not that clumsy.”

“Gee thanks.”

Draco sighed. “Just…be careful, okay?”

Hermione smiled and leaned into him. “Okay. I’ll try my best but you can’t exactly put me in a bubble.” He quirked an eyebrow. “Let me rephrase that. You won’t put me in a bubble.”

He shrugged. “Can’t blame a bloke for trying.”

She smacked him in the chest. “Git.”

He smirked. “You love me.”

She sighed. “Merlin help me I do.”

“Look, I know you two are all… you know,” Ron said as he trudged up. He looked ill. “But could you knock off the lovey dovey stuff in public.”

“What’s the matter Weasel,” Draco taunted. “Wish you could?”

“Merlin no,” Ron said, pulling a face. “That’s disgusting.”

Hermione rolled her eyes. “Then I suppose you wouldn’t like a pensieve of you and Lavender carrying on all of our sixth year.”

Ron shuddered. “Only half of it. And I’m quite happy to be shot of her.”

“HEY!” Lavender screeched as she walked up. She promptly swatted Ron upside the head. “You didn’t complain when you had your tongue down my throat.”

“Ugh,” Draco groaned. “Talk about unwanted visuals.”

Hermione couldn’t stifle her giggle. Ron was beet red and Lavender looked ready to spit fire… until she realized what Draco had said. She spun on her heel so fast Draco pushed Hermione behind him, a reflex reaction.

“What’s this got to do with you anyway Malfoy?”

Draco shrugged. “It doesn’t. I am simply an innocent bystander. You’re the one putting disgusting visuals in my head Brown.”

Lavender narrowed her eyes. “What’s going on here?”

Draco put on his best affronted face. “I’d say you were making a fool of yourself, but then again, you always do. It’s nothing abnormal.”

“Draco,” Hermione hissed.

“Well,” he growled. “She is. It’s ridiculous and tactless to announce your previous conquests to the entire castle, not to mention unladylike.”

“You don’t have to be a git about it,” Hermione murmured.

Draco sighed. “This is who I am Hermione. You know this.”

She nodded. “I know. But can we please not do this now. There are other matters I want to discuss.”

Draco hummed. “I think I have a plan, if you want to hear it.”

“Really?”

Draco nodded. “But since class is about to begin, I’ll tell you after.”

Hermione nodded and started to walk inside McGonagall’s class. Before she could register what was happening or the fact that the entire class was watching, Draco swooped down and kissed her. She melted, not realizing the gravity of what he’d done until he smirked at her.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Draco grinned. “Staking my claim… and the first part of my plan.”

“First part?”

“Why would they go outside their comfort zone if they are the first to do it?” he whispered in her ear. “Perhaps we can lead by example.”

Hermione pulled back and frowned. “Are you possessed by the ghost of Godric Gryffindor?”

Draco chuckled and shook his head. “No but I figured Slytherin cocked it up enough. Perhaps the opposite approach is warranted.”

Hermione cocked her head to the side. “You’re treading on dangerous territory Draco.”

Draco’s grin faded and he nodded. “I’ve decided not to care about the consequences. They didn’t get anyone else ahead, did they?”

“No, I suppose not.”

Draco put his forehead to hers. “I’ve already gotten everything I’ve always wanted Hermione. I might as well flaunt it. Damn the consequences.”

“What about your father?”

“Fuck him.”

Hermione grimaced. “No thanks.”

Draco chuckled. “Well, thank goodness for that. No, he doesn’t matter anymore. After last night… he can’t dictate my life any longer. I’m my own man. I just… I hope you can live poorly.”

Hermione smiled. “As long as your there, we could live in a gutter and I’d be happy.”

Draco scrunched his nose. “Don’t be ridiculous. I have enough for a house.”

Hermione laughed out loud and kissed his nose, causing a blush to creep up on his cheeks.

“Ahem,” McGonagall said gruffly. “If you two are finished with your conversation, perhaps you’d like to join the rest of the class?”

The couple broke apart and rushed to their seats, not quite aware of what they’d set in motion.

AN: Anyone wonder how things are about to change? Could you imagine? As always, thanks to everyone who reviewed. I read them to stay awake at work yesterday, which was a feat! Keep them coming and let me know how I'm doing. Until next time... love you guys.
