DON'T OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH HARRY POTTER. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE REVIEWS AND AS PROMISED HERE IS CHAPTER 5.

Hermione jumped out of Draco's arms and ran back to the castle squealing at the thought of a whole new library to discover.

Draco watched her run to the castle, and his face broke out in a smile. She was the one for him.

It was a week before the Christmas holidays were about to start. Hermione would be spending the entire Christmas break with Draco and the Malfoy's, and she was absolutely shitting herself about it; even after Draco had spent weeks telling her that it would be okay. Hermione was so happy at this point; her relationship with Draco was amazing; he took her on dates; spoiled her and called her babe even when he was with his friends. He did everything that a boyfriend should; he had kissed her in the rain, gave her hugs from behind; held her hand around the school; sent her notes throughout the school day telling her that he loved her and most importantly he loved her; adored her. Draco had placed her on a pedestal and looked at her with such reverence; Hermione was afraid that one day he might just start worshipping her. Even the teachers were so happy about the relationship; they all thought it should house unity; but they all felt happy because Draco and Hermione deserved to be happy. Harry was happy for them; he knew that Draco loved her and he saw no harm in the relationship. Ron however could not or would not get over the fact that Hermione was happy with the 'enemy'. Ron sent glaring looks at Draco whenever he was with Hermione. Hermione of course had tried to talk some sense into Ron; but alas it did not work, so she gave up and focused on her wonderful relationship with Draco.

Hermione was lying on her bed with Draco on top of her shirtless. He was kissing her neck while caressing her thighs. 'Oh Draco, I love you' Hermione said. Draco smirked; he loved the effect that he had on Hermione. Hermione sat up, leaving Draco very confused. 'Mione did I do something wrong? What's the matter?' Draco mumbled. 'Draco we've been dating for 2 months and we haven't had sex, and every time we get close I stop you; making some excuse of something else stops us; but I want you to know why I've been stopping this – us' Hermione had turned red and was staring out of the window, when suddenly Draco's very strong arm pulled Hermione by the stomach into Draco's laps. 'Mione I know why, you're a virgin.' Draco whispered into her ear. 'That's why I haven't pushed you. You have the right to lose your virginity when you're ready and not before then.' Draco moved Hermione's hair to one side and kissed the back of her neck. 'How on earth did you know that Draco?' Hermione gasped as he kissed her earlobe. 'I just did, I knew that your virginity meant something to you, and you wouldn't have just given it away. You know that you're a very classy woman like that. You have some self – respect. I like that.' Draco practically purred in her ear sending a shiver up Hermione's spine. 'I love you Draco, you know that right. I love you so much I think I could almost burst. I'm sure if I want to lose my virginity just now, but I'm certain that I want to lose it with you. Yes. I want you to take my virginity.' Hermione turned around to face Draco and kissed him on the lips, hungrily. 'I love you too Miss. Granger. I love you more than you know.' Draco whispered into her ear; very seductively. Hermione and Draco truly were in love.

Draco was sitting at the Gryffindor table with Hermione eating his breakfast. After the war houses could sit with each; but not many people moved around. Draco whispered something into Hermione's ear 'Could you two please get a room; it's disgusting please!' Ron exclaimed. Harry and Ginny stopped to eat their breakfast and turned to Ron. 'Ronald what the hell is wrong with you, they're doing nothing wrong. I mean grow up. Nobody said anything to you, when Lavender Brown used to practically suck your face. So shut up and mind your own business.' Ginny said before Draco had a chance to make a snide remark about Ron's appearance; but not his wealth. After he had started to go out with Hermione; he had a new found respect for Ginny; and would therefore not mock her wealth. 'Thanks Gin.' Draco smiled at her. 'Uh since when do you call my sister Gin, ferret face?' Ron practically shouted. 'Since we're friends Ron. Just because you can't get over petty hatred does not mean that I can't. Oh get over Ron, me and Draco are friends.' Ginny said before she walked away, being followed by Harry. The Slytherin table had sensed something was wrong, so Pansy, Theo and Blaise had walked over to the Gryffindor table. 'Everything okay mate. Hey 'Mione' Blaise said. 'Hey 'Mione.' Pansy said before sitting down next to Hermione and talking to her about what they were going to wear at the ball. 'Yeah everything's okay guys, no need to worry.' Draco said before he got up and signalled for Hermione to follow him. The three Slytherins made their way back to their own table.

Once outside Draco took Hermione to an empty classroom. 'What the hell is wrong with him?' Draco shouted. Hermione flinched. Sensing that Draco had upset her he kissed her on the forehead and apologised; he would never want to be the reason why Hermione was not happy. 'It's okay Draco. I just think he's jealous because I'm with you.' Hermione said. 'Well he should be jealous I have me most beautiful, intelligent and warm hearted woman as my girlfriend.' Draco said as he pulled Hermione into an embrace. 'Love you 'Mione' draco said as he kissed her lips.

Hermione and Draco were in their dorms; getting ready to head down to the platform. Draco was beyond excited, whereas Hermione thought she might me sick with nerves. She would be staying the Malfoy's, she would stay in that house; the house where she had been tortured. So many bad memories lived within the Malfoy Manor. Draco and Hermione sat in the head boys and girls compartment. Harry, Ginny, Luna, Neville, Blaise, Pansy and Theo were all sat in there with them. They were all laughing, but Hermione nearly puked when she felt the train pull up and when she looked out of the window there they were. Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.

Draco helped Hermione get her trunk, she was shaking. She hugged Harry and Ginny, they told her everything would be okay, but not to hesitate to owl them if something happened. Draco practically dragged her to where his parents stood. Narcissa broke out in a smile and hugged Draco. 'Oh Draco, I have missed you, I'm so glad that you came. Oh my little baby.' Draco finally broke out of the death grip in which Narcissa had held him. Draco turned to his father. Lucius stepped forward and hugged his son. 'We missed you Draco. I hope you had a good time in school.' Draco stepped back ' Mother, Father I am very well. But I would like to introduce you to Hermione; my girlfriend. I have been courting her for 3 months now. Draco pushed Hermione forward where she nervously smiled. 'Mr and Mrs Malfoy, thank you for letting me stay.' Hermione said, trying to look brave. When actually inside she was preparing herself for all the snide remarks he would hear about her blood status and what not. But nothing could prepare her for what happened next.

Narcissa broke out in a huge smile and hugged Hermione. While still holding her Narcissa said ' Oh my dear, I am so sorry for what we put you through, we were foolish. I expected you to make remarks about how foolish we were but instead you are being polite. You truly are wonderful, I'm so glad that Draco found you.' Narcissa broke away. 'I hope that you could find it within your heart to forgive us Miss Granger, we were horrible and even though we don't deserve your happiness or company during the holidays I hope you will forgive us and have a wonderful time at the manor.' Lucius said; actually looking sad. Hermione could not believe what had just happened. She was in shock. She nodded at them both and said 'What you did was not your fault, I have never hated you for it and I never will; but if it means so much to you; I forgave you a very long time ago. And please call me Hermione, Mr Malfoy' Hermione said and looked over to Draco, who was beaming. Then Lucius did something which shocked everyone, he stepped towards Hermione and hugged her. At first Hermione stood there not sure what to do, she looked at Draco who was just as shocked as her, and then to Narcissa who has tears in her eyes. 'Thank you so much Miss – um Hermione, you have no idea how much your forgiveness means to us' Lucius said. And then Hermione hugged him back.

Once broke apart Narcissa turned to Hermione 'Hermione please call us Lucius and Narcissa, Mr and Mrs Malfoy sounds far too formal.' Hermione nodded and turned to face Draco who pulled her into an embrace. Lucius broke the silence 'Well shall we go to the manor then' and with that Lucius took hold of Hermione's hand and them apparated to the manor. Harry and Ginny had been watching from a distance and were pleased with what they saw. 'Phew that was relieving, I would have been worried about 'Mione all through the break if I hadn't just seen that bloody miracle. I mean Lucius friggin Malfoy hugged 'Mione' Harry said to Ginny. And with that the couple left the platform to join up with the Weasley clan.
