"Stupefy!"

A jet of bright red light shot across the room, startling Draco from sleep. He leapt from the bed and promptly tripped over the sheets tangled about his legs.

"Hermione? Where are you—are you alright?" he asked, struggling to disentangle his legs.

"I thought I heard something," she whispered.

He could just make out her silhouette in the moonlight filtered into their room.

"Love, it's the third time this week. You can't blast first and ask questions later. Our home will be no more than ruins before long."

"I heard something."

He climbed back into the bed, holding the covers back for Hermione to climb in beside him. As she got in he grabbed her wand from her hand and placed it on the stand next to his.

"Darling you didn't hear anything…it's a new house it's just settling." He yawned.

"Why did we have to move so soon anyway, this house is much too large and too far from our friends."

"I'm actually a little happy to be away from the lot of them, perhaps now I can have a little alone time with my wife."

Hermione giggled and swatted him on the chest.

"Draco I think it's because we had too much time that we're here in the first place—did you hear that?" she asked, her body tensing up in his arms.

He pulled her closer. "Hermione, love, there's nothing … listen, see?"

She buried her face even further under the covers, her shallow breaths stirring the fine hairs on his chest.

He reached between them and placed his hand on the slight swell of her abdomen and began rubbing small circles.

"This is our home now. I'll do my best to make this a happy place for you and if I can help it, nothing will ever harm you or the baby. Now close your eyes, you need your beauty rest."

He kissed her on top of the head, and soon his breathing evened out, indicating sleep.

"I love you Draco."
