Okay guys, only becuz I got a few reviews I'll keep the story up but keep reviewing or I won't warn u, I'll just stop writing Ever After.


"It's true!" Hermione shrieked through her giggles as Draco clutched a stitch in his side.

"I really am a hip-hop dancer! Why don't you believe that!?!?" She kept laughing as Draco retrieved a cool composure. "Oh that I believe but you in a recital doing some jump as you fell into the audience is hard to imagine!"

Once they stopped laughing Hermione took a moment to look around the beautiful garden they were having dinner in.

Draco had set up a small patio table set for two in the center of the stone garden. She didn't know how else to describe it! They were surrounded by bushes drowning in every kind of non poisonous flower or plant a person could think of, there was a tree in the far corner with a swing dangling from it, rocking gently from the wind. Then in the center of the garden was a barely raised stone platform stretching to every bush, tree, and plant around them.

She smiled at Draco who grinned back eagerly as he held out his hand. Slightly titling her head in confusion Hermione gave him her hand only to be swept away from the table as the table vanished; stepping into the center of the patio, waving his wand music suddenly began from nowhere.

They began to dance slowly, like two awkward teenagers on their first slow dance, Hermione had her hands wrapped delicately around his neck and Draco had his hands resting on her hips.

Revolving slowly on the spot, Draco began to pull Hermione closer to him as she wrapped her arms around him. The song ended and Hermione started to shift away but at Draco's warm embrace, they stood rooted to the spot.

"Draco!" Narcissa shrieked through the gardens. "Shit…" He mumbled moving away from Hermione who then sat down on the swing on the tree. Narcissa finally entered looking from Draco standing awkwardly in the middle of his private garden; wearing a baby blue silk shirt with black slacks and a pretty girl sitting on the swing; wearing a short silver dress, her hair done up nice.

Narcissa smiled and said; "And who is this darling?" Draco figured that his mother hadnt recognized Hermione so clearing his throat he said: "Mother, you know Hermione Granger…" Narcissa blinked a few times as though she hadnt heard him. "Granger?" His mother asked staring at Hermione. "Yes mum, Hermione and I are on a date…" His mother smiled one more time and walked out of the garden, her heels ringing on the cobblestones.

"Maybe I should go…" Hermione began trailing off as she picked up her purse. "Not so fast…" Draco attached his lips to hers, his hands running in small circles on her back. Hermione remembered how soft his hair was and decided to find out again. Gently lifting her hands up she messed through his hair, savoring every touch; every motion. Quickly pulling apart Draco raised his wand causing the bushes to grow alarmingly tall. "Just so we arent interrupted again…" Draco mumbled as he inhaled Hermione's scent, something like vanilla that drove him crazy for her.

"Mm, you think of everything don't you?" She whispered into his ear. "Everything…" He picked her up into his arms and began to venture into the house through an archway he made appear leading into his room…


Hermione opened her eyes and immediately realized this wasn't her bed, she sifted around and felt soft silk sheets enveloping her and a warm presence next to her, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist.

Now realizing what had happened last night, Hermione tumbled out of the tall bed, clutching sheets around her bare body. Draco blurrily opened his eyes sitting up looking over at Hermione lying in a heap of thin sheets wrapped messily around her on the floor.

"Morning Sunshine." He greeted her sleepily flopping back on his pillows muttering; "Gods you look so hott right now…" Hermione glanced up at Draco and began to stumble around, picking up her articles of clothing scattered around the room.

Now enjoying the show Draco chose to sit upright and watch Hermione try to put her clothes with out exposing her self to Draco who chuckled at this. "Oh please, just go into the bathroom and take a shower, I'll get some clothes for you to wear home, people may notice if you arrive home wearing the same thing you left in." He ended smirking. So Hermione made her way into the bathroom and Draco swung his legs out from under his sheets, slowly shuffling over to his dresser. Taking his time, Draco finally pulled on some plaid green and black pajama pants over silver boxers.

Sifting through his drawers Draco found a pair of red pajama pants that were too small for him and a black tee-shirt. Wandering over to where Hermione had piled her dress, knickers, etc. he put them all in a neat pile and put them on the chair next to the door inside the bathroom.

After tidying up his bedroom and putting on a pair of jeans with a tee shirt, Draco scribbled a note down to Hermione saying he would be right back.

So with that he strolled out of his room and down the stairs just as Hermione stepped out of the loo, clad in Draco's green bathrobe holding her clothes. Sitting down Hermione was dressed in a few minutes and she decided to sit up on Draco's bed and read one of the books she found lying on his bedside table lying next to his note saying he would be right back.

Twenty minutes later Draco appeared at the top if the stairs carrying two breakfast trays. Grinning from ear to ear Draco told Hermione to sit up on her set of pillows, with a press of a button two tiny tables were pushed out of the wall, swinging to a stop right at Hermione's elbows. "Aaah I love modern wizard-tech." Draco sighed sitting down behind his table setting each tray down in front of them.

"And no magic, might I add." Draco smiled pulling his wand out from his bedside table. Hermione applauded him and they began to eat their breakfast talking occasionally. "So why was your mum here last night anyway?" Draco pondered the thought before remembering: "Well she sometimes comes to check up on me…" Draco mumbled rolling his eyes.

Suddenly Hermione stood up. "Oh no I was supposed to babysit today; they don't know I've stayed over. Oh what should I-" But before she could say anything Draco put all her things in a bag, looped it onto her arm, also grasping her arm. Draco spun on the spot apparating into her flat.


Hermione kissed his cheek in thanks and ran to her room, leaving Draco to explore Hermione's home. "Aah, Draco, hope you didn't keep our Hermione out too late." Ginny and Blaise laughed at Draco's face as they let themselves into her flat. "We came to feed Cabby." Ginny explained but at Draco's still confused look Ginny piped in: "Crookshanks, her old cat met a girl cat and Cabby was their kitten but the two cats died a few months ago." Draco nodded vaguely as Hermione walked in, putting on a necklace.

"Oh! I was just getting ready to go over to your place! Thank you for dropping my purse off Draco, I'll owl you later. Bye!" Hermione said jumbling words together as she pushed Draco out the door.

Ginny and Blaise snickered as Hermione pushed past them to go get Mia to take her to the park.


"Thank you for taking me out today auntie Hermione!" Mia said as Hermione pushed her higher and higher on the swings. "Pump your legs Mia!" Hermione yelled, her arms growing tired.

"Ooh! There's the ice cream truck can we get something?!?" Mia jumped off the swing at an alarmingly grand height. Landing on her feet Mia chased after the slow truck, pulling out some money Hermione followed after her wearily. But an oh too familiar voice jumped her senses.

"You know you would make a beautiful mother Hermione." Draco said genuinely as Hermione passed the fountain where he was lying with a book on the fountains edge. She blushed but pushed the comment aside as Draco rolled off the fountain. "I mean it you know." Hermione looked at him smiling as she ordered a small ice-cream for herself.

"Hi Uncle Draco!" Mia shrieked running into his arms. "Hey Meester" Draco greeted her happily. Hermione took a few bites of her frozen chocolate treat and decided to sit down next to Draco as he tickled Mia. Hermione finished her ice cream and proceeded to tickle her as well. A photographer came over and with a bright flash snapped a picture of the group.


The next morning Hermione woke up (Thankfully in her own bed) And decided to read the Daily Prophet for once. Bad idea. On the front page was the picture that man had taken yesterday of the three of them laughing happily sitting on the edge of fountain. In big bold letters the headline read: HAPPY FAMILY ENJOYS NEW PARK.

Hermione sputtered her orange juice all over the paper as it said that she, Mia, and Draco were some happy family. Smaller articles followed the picture such as: HOW LONG HAD THIS ENGAGEMENT BEEN A SECRET?

CRUSHED EX GIRLFRIEND PANSY PARKINSON OUTRAGED, WHO IS THIS NEW CHILD? WHY DOESN'T SHE RESEMBLE HER PARENTS? IS THIS ADORABLE GIRL ADOPTED?

Ignoring the other articles Hermione read the main one aloud: Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy seen yesterday sitting on the fountain enjoying a splendid day at the new Albus Dumbledore memorial park. Hermione and Draco tickled their darling little child who filled the air with her melodic laughter. Neither Hermione or Draco were wearing wedding bands but Hermione was wearing a stunning platinum engagement ring leaving us to believe that this couple has been hiding their engagement for sometime judging by the age of their daughter. Most of the wizarding world is shocked that the second richest man (His father being the richest) in the wizarding world would be pleased with such a plain know-it-all such as Ms. Granger. Inside sources tell us that the couple was seen at the Wizards Wand Café recently sharing in a passionate kiss at an intimate table for two. We can not wait till the wedding of the century until then this is Rita Skeeter with the daily gossip, thanks oodles for reading!

Hermione's temper rose to a boiling point as she scanned the article. Pulling out a quill and some parchment Hermione wrote to Draco. They would need to nip this thing before it was out of control, unfortunately it already was...
