Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. ~Robert Brault
He remembered when he would hold her in his arms, and whisper sweet nothings into her ear until she succumbed to his wishes and kissed him, which turned into a full fledged snog, and then some.
He remembered when they would sit by the fire, wrapped in each others arms, reading books. But not paying attention at all, too busy listening to the others heart beating.
He remembered when they would just sit by the lake, basking in the sun, and talk about trivial things, which again, ended in snogging.
He remembered the first time they made love, which was a beautiful thing indeed.
He remembered when he would wake up in the morning and see her sleeping form lying next to him. He would give into temptations and kiss her every freckle, that too, ended in snogging.
After graduating Hogwarts, he promised her to tell his parents about their relationship. As expected, Lucius didn't take it too well when he found out his son was dating a certain Gryffindor muggleborn, but he used worse words to express that, words that Draco never used anymore.
Lucius was nearly enraged when Draco informed his parents that no, he did not want to be a Death Eater, and that he joined the Order of the Phoenix. (His father almost killed him, thank Merlin for his even tempered mother.)
He left his family, his mistakes, and his past self when he noticed Hermione in a new light. No longer, did he taunt her, but he talked to her, enjoying an intelligent talk for once. Draco fought hard in the final battle with his friends, and nearly collapsed from exhaustion when he saw Voldemort fall, lifeless. He became a better person, and people began to trust him. He built a new life after the war, a life without fear, without restraint, and most important of all, he had love. Finally he could be happy.
And it was with his love, Hermione Granger.

Review? Please? They make my day :D
A/N- Yes, that was short and sweet. I thought I was going to make it about Draco breaking up with Hermione for her own good, but I don't even know how I got here.
Disclaimer- No, I do not own Harry Potter. If I did, I would have a life.
