Dave and Hermione acted like nothing had changed apart from Dave went back to the way he was before he learnt Hermione was muggleborn. The problem was he had left his jacket and defense against the dark arts book in her room the night before when they had been studying together and she had point blank refused to return them to him so he made the mistake of getting Ginny to help.

"Ginny" Dave said "I left a book in Hermione's room last night can you get it for me?"

"Why do you call her Hermione now and not just Granger?" Ginny asked "and what where you doing in her room?"

"Whose room was he in?" Cassie asked

"Mione's" Ginny said and Cassie grinned

"I so have to tell Dean" Cassie said and ran from her brother but Dave caught up to her quickly and tackled her to the floor.

"Sorry Cass" he said with an ear to ear grin "guess you couldn't out run me"

"Didn't have to" Cass said "I was the distraction"

"For who?" Dave said knowing the answer already

"Me" Ginny said walking towards them with a grinning Jo and Dean.

Dean and Dave where sitting talking family business where as the girls where having a girl talk which could be called trying to get details from Hermione.

Dave and Dean

"Dad will tear you a new one dude" Dean said

"I don't give a shit" Dave said "he is halfway across the world I am an adult I can do what I want"

"Dude he will kick you out of the family for a girl" Dean said "you want that?"

"Have you seen her?" Dave asked "have you seen Mione? She is worth getting kicked out of our dictatorship of a family for"

"You're falling for her" Dean said

"So?" Dave said "you telling me a certain redhead hasn't got your attention Sharky"

"There is getting attention and turning your back on your family for a girl" Dean said bitterly

"I am not turning my back on my family" Dave said "just the old man, he treats people like crap and I am sick of it"

The girls

"So?" Ginny said sitting down excitedly next to Hermione

"So what?" Hermione asked innocently

"You and dragon boy" Ginny said

"I am going to rip those wings off of him and beat him with them" Hermione said "he told you?"

"Actually" Ginny said "he asked me to get your book back and we kinda guessed"

"Who is we?" Hermione asked paling rapidly as she knew how Harry and Ron could react

"That is bad grammar" Jo said "unless it as a question otherwise it is who are we and me and Cass know two"

"So when did it happen?" Cassie asked joining them

"The night I fainted" Hermione said "he slept on my floor"

"Dave?" Cassie asked

"As in Dragon" Jo added "slept on your floor to check on you?"

"Yeah" Hermione said brushing hair out of her face

"And then what?" Ginny probed

"I kissed him the next morning" Hermione said and blushed.

"WHAT!" the other three girls shouted and all four of them fell into a girly fit of joy and they spent the next hour talking about the past week. Dave deliberately sat with Hermione at dinner hoping to prove a point to her that he didn't care what anyone else thought or said. However Draco thought that meant no one would look out for Cassie when Dean and Jo left to go to the library. Sadly he was mistaken.

As he walked over to Cassie Harry appeared out of no where and sat down next to her and looked at Malfoy almost warning him off. Then when he reached for his wand he was face to face with not only Hermione but Dave as well.

"There a problem here ferret?" Hermione asked grinning at the memory

"Like I would tell you filthy bitch" Draco said and no one could have been prepared for what happened next as Dave blew him across the room with his magic and suspended him against a wall making Draco gasp for air with a small movement of his hand.

"I warned you Malfoy" Dave said he did not shout but everyone heard him speak "don't mess with my family"

"Mr. Winchester" Professor McGonagall said already walking towards him but Hermione took control off the situation by standing in front of the headmistress defending her boyfriends actions.

"Ms Granger" she said "what are you doing"

"Draco has been a bastard for the past 7 years headmistress" she said "and he has been hassling both of the Winchester girls and Dave did warn him Dave is well with in his rights to defend his sisters"

"This is not a duel Ms Granger" the older witch said surprised that the younger girl was not wanting her counterpart of head boy stripped of his power as she was under the impression they did not get on, now however she was defending him.

"Then it will be" Hermione said "in two hours at the front of the school"

With that Dave let Draco drop to his feet and walked off with Hermione to ready himself for his duel with Draco.

"I am a good influence on you" he said lovingly as she put her head on his chest "last week you wouldn't have condoned me killing the little prick"

"Yeah well me and the prick have history" Hermione said "his parents tried to kill me last year and he made Hogwarts hell for me"

"Made?" Dave asked

"Well you are here now" Hermione said and blushed at what she had said "and he is scared of you so by association with you he knows to leave me alone"

When Dave went to the front of the school however he was greeted by a sight he did not expect to see Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy

And John Winchester

Dave's father
