Well look what planted itself in my head and wouldn't go away...stopping me from working! Just finished writing it and it's not been beta'd so please please please don't review about typos, I feel like it turns a good review sour when people say "but" after I've specifically said it hasn't been checked for typos.

Hermione and Draco had been happily married for nearly fourteen years. They had two beautiful children and a peaceful life in Wiltshire.

Their son Anthony Cygnus was about to finish his second year at Hogwarts and their daughter Jessica Louise was doing extremely well with her tutor, who assured them he expected great things from her at Hogwarts.

With the school holidays coming up in two weeks Draco had decided that he and Hermione should take the opportunity to have some time together before the Anthony came home and the children were running around the Manor with nothing to do but cause mischief.

He decided to set about arranging a honeymoon of sorts for himself and his wife, something they had been unable to take part in when they were originally married thanks to the marriage being forced and the fact that they were in school.

He decided to use the Malfoy Villa in the South of France as the destination, that way they could keep it away from the press, as they were still very much in the public eye even after fourteen years, and Hermione wouldn't accidentally find out before he wanted her to know.

The first job was to go and see Kingsley and make sure that Hermione could have the time off. Although again he had to be careful that Hermione didn't see him at the Ministry.

He quickly penned a note to the Minister asking for a convenient time to meet and sent it with Zeus, his beautiful black owl, who had replaced Mercury when the trusty owl had passed away from old age.

He then went about writing notes to cancel all his meetings for the next two weeks. He would send them once he was sure Hermione would be able to have some holiday time.

It wasn't long before Zeus was back with Kingsley's response. The Minister would be able to drop by the Manor in-between meetings, as he was not in the Ministry at all that day, which suited Draco just fine, as it would limit the chance of Hermione finding out what was going on.

He then went up to his rooms and began to pack clothes for himself and Hermione in a bag and hid it in the very back of his wardrobe. Over the years he had gotten used to doing things himself as Hermione would give him her disapproving stare every time he asked the house elves for something that he could do himself.

He was just in the process of hiding the bag when he heard one of the Manor's house elves pop into the room.

"Master Draco, Minster shacklebolt is here, Tipsy left Minister in the Parlour" the little elf told him.

"Thank you Tipsy, please inform the Minister that I am on my way down" Draco told the little elf as he stepped out of the walk-in wardrobe and after checking the bag wasn't in view closed the doors.

Tipsy left with a pop and Draco made his way down to the family parlour.

"Minister, thank you for coming" he greeted Kingsley, shaking hands.

"Of course Draco, what can I do for you?" Kingsley asked in his deep tenor voice.

"Well I was wondering if Hermione would be able to have the next two weeks off work? She doesn't know yet but I want to take her on a surprise honeymoon of sorts" Draco explained.

"That's absolutely fine, I'll speak to her deputies after she leaves her offices today" the Minister assured him.

"Thank you Minister. I appreciate it" Draco replied. "Minister would you like a drink of some sort? Tea, coffee?"

"I wouldn't mind something a little stronger if you have it, it's been a long morning" the Minister explained.

"Absolutely, a glass of Ogden's finest perhaps?" Draco said, as he offered the minister a seat and walked over to the small bar in the corner of the room.

He came back with two glasses of whiskey and sat with the Minister. They chatted for a few moments about the goings on around the Ministry.

"Well, I would love to stay and chat but I have a meeting with the muggle Prime Minister and he gets nervous enough without me being late" Kingsley joked and stood. He shook Draco's hand and left the parlour.

Draco knocked his shot of whiskey back and went back to his study. He sent Zeus with his notes to cancel the next two weeks meetings and went back to his and Hermione's bedroom to finish getting ready.

…..

At three Draco went to check in with Jessica's tutor who was as happy as ever with Jessica as a student and then spent some time with the little girl as was custom everyday after her lesson finished.

"Princess, I have something to tell you but you musn't tell your mother if you see her before I do" he told the little girl.

"Okay daddy, I swear" Jessica said as she dragged him to her room.

They each sat on either side of a Wizard Chess board and continued a game that had been going for several days, as Draco was teaching her how to play.

"I want to take mummy away on a surprise trip before your brother comes home, Would you be happy with that?" he asked her. Jessica had Narcissa wrapped around her little finger and he could see the cogs going around in her brain as she thought about having just her grandmother with her and no parents.

She was just like Hermione.

"Is grandmother going to be here?" she asked, confirming Draco's suspicions as to her thoughts.

"Yes it will just be me and mummy" Draco confirmed.

"I think mummy will like it" she responded to his original question.

Draco stifled a laugh and watched as his daughter took one of his Pawns, she picked up the game quickly!

….

At four Hermione floo'd into the Manor via the Parlour as she always did and called for Draco.

"Hey baby, how was your day?" he asked when he entered the room.

"Exhausting, you wouldn't believe some of the things people try to do to conceal that they have illegal dragon's as pets" Hermione sighed as she began to take off her cloak.

"No no no dearest, keep that on" Draco quickly said, stopping her.

Hermione gave him a confused look and he whipped out his wand, summoning the bag from their room.

"Come with me" he said taking her hand and taking his travelling cloak from Tipsy at the front door.

"Where are we going?" Hermione asked.

Draco didn't answer, he walked them to the spot where the wards would allow them to apparate and turned on the spot, taking Hermione with him.

They landed just outside a Wizarding Village in France and got into a carriage that was waiting, thanks to some very quick floo calls after Draco got the go ahead from the Minister to take Hemione away.

"Draco, will you please tell me what's going on?" Hermione insisted as she recognized where she was from previous family holidays with the children.

Draco stayed quiet as the carriage drove through the village and into a quiet countryside; the sun beat down and warmed them to the point where they both stripped their travelling cloaks off.

It took another thirty minutes for them to reach the secluded villa. The peach walls with red accents made it feel soft, warm and welcoming, the three storey building was just as much home as the Manor had become.

Hermione tried not to think too much about the exact amount of money her husband had as it always made her feel uncomfortable to have so much money, and she didn't particularly like any of the other properties the Malfoy's owned, but she had always loved this Villa.

They walked in and Draco used his wand to send their bag into the master bedroom.

"Draco, why are we at the Villa, what is going on?" she asked again, getting a little impatient.

Draco pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "Welcome to your Honeymoon, Lady Malfoy"

Hermione giggled, "what?"

"Well the children will be home in a couple of weeks, and running riot I am sure. I thought it might be nice to have some time together, and then I decided fourteen years later is better than never" Draco told her as he started to unbutton her button down blouse.

"It's a lovely idea, but we cant just drop everything and come to France, what about work and Jessica and the Manor and and and, oh Draco" she stopper her protesting as Draco began to suck on her neck.

He explained everything between kisses, "I spoke to Kingsley, you can have the time off" KISS "I own my company so I can take time off whenever I want" KISS "Mother and the Elves can take care of the Manor and Jessica" KISS "Now stop protesting and kiss me"

He caught her mouth with his own and lifter her in his arms. He walked upstairs and into the master bedroom.

He put her down outside the door of the en-suite bathroom and heard her whimper as he walked over to the bag he had packed. He pulled something white out of the bag and handed it to Hermione, "Surprise me"

It took just a moment to see it was her lingerie that transfigured into anything with just a touch; she nodded and went into the bathroom to change.

She put on the bra and panties, and took a moment to think it over; she closed her eyes and touched the strap.

Draco was already undressed and laying on the bed when the door opened and Hermione stepped out. He asked for a surprise and she certainly supplied one, coming out in a see-through red teddy with black polka dots.

He quirked his finger in Hermione's direction, beckoning her to him and growled when she didn't comply straight away.

Hermione slowly and deliberately walked over to the four-poster bed and stood just out of reach of Draco.

"Hermione, if you don't come here I will come there and take you where you stand" Draco warned, smirking when he saw her thighs rub together, he knew exactly how to make her juices gush.

Hermione bent forward and climbed onto the bed and into Draco's lap. She spread her legs either side of him and wrapped them around his back and placed her arms around his shoulders.

"Not if I take you first" she whispered in his ear, running one hand down his torso and to his hard length, moving her matching red thong aside and impaling herself on him.

Draco groaned and thrust up immediately, even after fourteen years and two children he could not resist her and he could not get enough of her.

Over the following two weeks they never left the Villa or even got dressed. They made love in every room of the house, and more than once in the pool.

On the last night before they were to return home Draco took Hermione for a five star meal at one of France's top wizarding restaurants and they lay out on lounges and watched the stars.

…..

Twelve weeks later they took the children to King's Cross and watched as the Hogwart's Express pulled away. Draco invited their friends back to the Manor and they enjoyed a lovely lunch.

Hermione smiled and laughed and enjoyed the conversation immensely, with just a small part of her wishing that they would go home, after all she had a surprise for Draco…..

Hmmm, I wonder who can work out what her surprise is... I'd love to see who gets it right! Review and let me know, if you know Can We Make It and They Don't Matter well enough I think you will get it. Putting a pic of the Villa on my Profile
