Everything was perfect. Diner had gone wonderfully and they were now waiting on desert. But he had done the one thing that she had wanted him to do for 6 years.
Going down on one knee, he pulled out a small velour box from his green vest. And to Hermione's surprise, a small diamond ring stared right back at her as the tears swelled up behind her eyelids. And just like that, he asked her the one question which's answer she had practiced just over a million times in front of her mirror.
And yet, it seemed this time, she couldn't find any words to fit through her open mouth.
Still on one knee, Ron was now sweating as if he had stepped into a volcano, his hands shaking from the silence.
"Hermione…?" he squeaked.
"Ron… Before I answer, I want to ask you a question…" she said softly. "What animal do I fear the most?"
Confused by that question to which he didn't know the answer, Ron took a chance and answered:
"Huh… Mice?"
With a smile of disappointment, Hermione slowly took her hand away from his.
"No… Spiders… I'm scared of spiders just like you…" She smiled sweetly. "I'm sorry Ron… I can't make the mistake of marrying you…" she stuttered, all of a sudden remembering all those evenings she had spent with Draco, sometimes doing nothing more than just watch movies on his muggle television.
Weirdly enough, he had developed an unreasonable interest in muggle movies. At the thought of him barricading her in his house two months ago to watch 8 movies in a row, Hermione shook her head, hiding a small smile.
She had never felt very comfortable with Ron. He was sweet of course but he was almost too sweet now that she thought about it. She couldn't even remember why she had started going out with him… Perhaps it was because Harry and Ginny were a couple and she felt left out? Or maybe it was that desire to belong to a family like Ron's… She loved him but she was just now realizing that it was only a fraternal love… Of course, had she never started sleeping with Draco, she would've never realized that…
As she went on about the dilemma she was in, Ron's shocked voice brought her back to reality:
"A mistake? What… What do you mean a mistake? You love me and I love you… It's only normal for us to get married…"
"I'm really sorry Rom… I don't think I love you anymore… It's too late…"
His eyes wide open, Ron, still on one knee, watched her get up and run towards the entrance door, wondering if he was dreaming or had Hermione really refused to marry him.

Wet from head to toes because of the heavy rain, Hermione ran down the aisle leading to that house she had been to so often. Finally reaching the porch, she repeatedly rang the doorbell until the door opened quite furiously.
Standing in the doorframe, an eyebrow raised and a questioning look on his face, he looked at her, waiting for her to tell him what she wanted.
"Why weren't you at the restaurant with Adele?" she said out of breath.
"I didn't feel like seeing her…"
"He finally asked me to marry him!" She blurted out.
"And you came all the way here to tell me just that?"He said, anger dancing behind his stormy grey pupils.
"I said no…" she said after a few minutes.
"I beg your pardon?"
"I refused his marriage proposal…"
Squinting his eyes in confusion, Draco looked at her for a long time, seeming to take in the news slowly.
"You're wet…" He said finally, realizing that she was indeed soaked.
Taking her hand in his, he led her into his bedroom, going to get a towel in the bathroom.
When he came back, she was still standing where he left her, looking towards the bathroom door, as if scared that he wouldn't come back. Slowly, he reached for the bottom of her dress and lifted it up over her head. He then proceeded to unclasp the red bra that seemed to take the shape of her small breasts perfectly. Going down on one knee, he unhurriedly slid her panties down. Using both his mouth and the towel, he began to dry her skin, making sure to leave not one drop of water behind.
He was never good at expressing his feelings so he hoped that in some way, she would understand that he cared for her. He even wondered how that came about seeing as they had hated each other for over 8 years.
Putting that thought aside, he tipped her over the bed, continuing his drying process until Hermione's hormones had enough of the torture. Swiftly, she moved to be on top of him, ripping the buttons of his shirt as she undressed him.
"That shirt was expensive you know… You're going to owe me like a hundred galleons…" he whispered with an evil smile.
"Put it on your tab and it'll be taken care of" she answered before suddenly sitting on his groin.
His eyes consummated with passion, he pulled her to him to kiss her savagely, groaning with satisfaction.

For a while now the TV in Draco's room had been on. Tangled up in between the sheets, Hermione sat between his legs, her head resting against his chest as he kissed her neck here and there.
"This is one sappy movie… I'm picking the next one because the guy in this one makes all men look weak…"
"I'll have you know that this is a classic!" Hermione said with a roll of her eyes.
"Hum… You're a girl no wonder you' think that!"
"Hey! Watch it if you want to have sex with this 'girl' later!" she laughed.
"I want to talk about something before that actually…"
"Wait… Are you asking permission to talk? This has to be a first! The handsome Draco Malfoy requesting permission to speak!"
"If I understand you correctly, you're finally admitting that I'm irresistibly good-looking?"
"You really think that if I didn't find you attractive from all angles I'd be here in your arms?" She asked with a grin on the corner of her lips. "Of course you're arrogant, pretentious, impertinent, impatient, cruel, ambitious, too sure of yourself…"
"There are no compliments on your list so far…" He interrupted, raising an eyebrow.
"Buuuuut! You're supremely good in bed so I suppose that makes up for all your flaws."
"Is that the only reason you're here and not elsewhere then?"
"Well… I must say that you can be charming when you want…"
"Ah! Finally you're getting to the juicy part! Do go on then!"
"You can also be attentive, affectionate, funny, generous and even friendly when you want… with me at least. Your jokes… well most of the time they are ridiculously sarcastic, ironic and of bad taste and yet, I laugh whenever you make one."
"Even if I say you look like professor Trelawney?"
She laughed, hitting him lightly on the chest before continuing:
"My point is that I've learned a lot about you and unfortunately, I've found in you some small little things I've managed to be attracted to. It's like you are two different people in front of me and in front of the rest of the society and yet, I flatter myself to know that the part of you which the others don't know solely belongs to me…"
"Well we're a little bit selfish now aren't we…" He smiled as he lifted her chin to face him. "I've done some research recently…"
"Oh this must be serious! Are you dying or something?" Hermione said with a fake look of concern.
"Hermione if you want to know what I have to say, I suggest you bite your pink little tongue…" He warned, hitting her butt lightly.
"Fine…" she pouted.
"Like I was saying before being rudely interrupted, after many days of research, I've come to the disturbing conclusion that I might actually have feelings… Zip it!" He told her as she opened her mouth to make a remark. "So… it seems that I might actually like you…" He finally blurted out, not knowing how else to put it.
Soon enough, a smile flashed onto her face as she said:
"Well that might be a problem because I don't think I like you…"
Scared for a minute that he had put his feelings out there for the first time only to be humiliated, he scanned Hermione's face quickly only to then release a silent sigh of relief.
"You wouldn't dare not sharing the feelings the most handsome man on earth has for you…"
"Oh really… And why would that be?"
"Well let's say that if that was the case, I would make sure they throw you to the crocodiles or better yet… I'd make sure you are beheaded in front of the whole wizarding community for your insolence."
Bursting out in laughter, she kissed him avidly, relieved that he shared her feelings.
Interrupting their moment of joy however, the doorbell rang a first time, then a second. On the 5th time, Hermione reluctantly broke their kiss.
"Are you waiting for somebody?"
"Not that I know of…" He said, kissing her jaw and being adventurous. "Anyways, whoever it is, I'm sure he'll go away if we ignore him… or her."
Not needing to be told twice, she went back to kissing him until the 22nd ring unnerved Draco.
"I swear if that's the neighbor coming to ask me if I she can borrow something again I'll avada her without thinking twice about it!"
"I'll answer it!" Hermione laughed, quickly putting on the shirt Draco had on earlier.
In a few minutes, she reached the door, opening it only to freeze in place as she saw who was standing there, fidgeting with his hands.
"Hermione… I… I found this address written on a piece of paper at your house… I was desperate to ever found you… Hermione, if you don't want to marry me right now it doesn't matter… We can just keep going out… I know you love me and I love you too so I'm sure we can find a solution to make this work…"
Just then, as he finally noticed what Hermione was wearing, a voice came from the inside of the house:
"Hermione is everything ok?"
As Ron's brain tried to put a name on that voice he was sure he knew from somewhere, his worst enemy showed up in all his grandeur only wearing black slacks.
"Mione… What's…Why… Why is Malfoy here?"
Still surprised from seeing Ron, Hermione stepped back, sticking her back to Draco's chest as if to ensure he was there.
"Ron… You don't understand… The reason why I refused your marriage proposal is because the single idea of never seeing Draco again made me sick. I know you won't understand that him and I somewhat are in a relationship or the fact that every single night that I wasn't with you I spent with him… but I'm not asking you to understand. I'm really sorry if I've hurt you but I can't marry you… I don't love you anymore. My relationship with Draco made me realize that having to wait around all this time just for you to tell me that you love me isn't the way things should be…"
In silence, Hermione looked at her friend, seeing him go from confusion to sadness to anger.
"This doesn't make sense… He must've put you under a spell!" he barked.
"No Ron… I'm here because I want to be…"
"You're lying… He put you under a spell I'm sure of it! That's the only explanation! Come with me Hermione, I'm sure Harry will have a solution to fix this!"
With his words, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her harshly towards him.
"Ron let me go you're hurting me!"
"Weasel…" Draco finally snarled calmly, his eyes seeming to shoot silver bullets, "if you don't let her go right now I promise I'll give you the worst tortures you can possibly imagine and that's a euphemism compared to what I'll do to you…"
"I'm not scared of you ferret boy in case you hadn't…"
Not letting him finish his sentence, Draco's fist landed right on his face, breaking his nose which soon started to spread liters of blood.
With a cry that would've rendered the harpies of Hogwarts proud, Ron brought his hands to his now broken nose as Draco stepped in front of Hermione to prevent him from touching her again.
"I'd suggest you go home Weasel and never come back over here again because I still want to hit you once or twice more."
With an angry look, Ron decided to leave, moaning in pain as he walked down the aisle to apparate once outside the property.
Closing the door behind him, Draco walked after Hermione to the living room.
Dropping on the couch right besides her in silence, he looked at the fireplace for a while before saying:
"Hermione…"
"I already know what you're going to say I so I'll answer you before you even ask… Yes, I'm sure I don't love Ron anymore, not even a little. I think my feelings for him might've changed a while ago but I was still clinging to them in the hope that something good would come out of it. But I'm sure now that I only want to spend my time with you…"
"And yet I can't guaranty that I'll like you for very long…"
"I'll take my chances…" she answered with a grin. "And besides, I'd rather spend one or two months with you than spend the rest of my life with Ron."
From the corner of his eye, he looked at her, smiling at the thought of having her all to himself from now on.
"Very well then…" He said as he got up, lifting her with a smirk.
Wrapping her legs around his waist and encircling his neck with her arms, she smiled back at him.
"Don't you think we've been having sex far too much recently?"
"Since WHEN was it even possible to have sex too many times?" He asked, looking at her with concern. "And besides, if we want to win the sex tournament of the year we better start practicing now…"
"There are no such things as sex tournaments!" She laughed.
"Well I'm going to have to make sure the Ministry fixes that now won't I…" he said before kissing her with unearthly passion.
Because after all, that relationship that had started only with sex ended up turning into something nobody would've ever thought possible. And yet, flesh against flesh, breath intermingled, fingers intertwined and lips inseparable, they proved to the rest of the world that after all, Sex & Love were only merely separated by an almost invisible border. Because simply, Sex could lead to Love if you only gave it a chance.
