Own Nothing.

Chapter Nine.


"Ahhh..." He groaned, laying on the bed in their bedroom. It was been a week since Hermione's incident with the knife and the study and every night since then he slept by her side in the same bed. "But I don't want to go visit the Malfoys." He whined as Hermione change in the bathroom.

"We have to, Mrs. Malfoy is helping to fund my bookstore. Which you will be working at." She poked her head out of her door to glance at him.

"Why do I need a job?" He asked, standing up and walking towards her.

"Because I will not be the only bread winner in this family." She stated as she zipped up her skirt. She pulled her hair around her shoulders and up into a bun. She turned to face him as she put lipgloss on. "So you're getting a job at the bookstore and we're going to the Malfoy's."

"Why are you wearing lipgloss? Hoping to catch a bloke?" He smirked, leaning against the door frame. He waggled his eyebrows at her, watching as she rolled her eyes.

She smiled, she leaned up close to him, stopping an inch from his face. She fixed his collar, knowing that he thought she was going to kiss him. "Why, do you know of any bloke looking for a hot date?" Winking up at him, she pulled back.

"Oh, that's not fair. Flaunting yourself at me, when you know I'm a married man." He smirked, pulling her back towards him. "What would my wife say?"

She laughed, the sound of it vibrated all the way into his toes. "Never mind your wife, what about my husband. We only just got married, and even though it's because of a marriage law, we're starting to care about each other."

"Really?" He leaned further down, his breath tickling her lips. "I'm going to have to decline your invitation then. My wife and I, we hold the same feelings for each other." His lips gently touched her's before pulling away. "If we don't leave now, I'm never going to allow you to go."

She laughed, pulling away. "You're right." She grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the bathroom. She sat on the bed to put her heels on, staring up at him. "Do you ever wonder?"

"About a million times a day. But wonder about what?" He smiled down at her.

"About what ever brought you back?" She stood, wiggling her feet in her shoes. "What or who brought you back? And why no magic?"

"Oh," He wrapped his arms around her, leading her out of the room. "I like to think the Fates brought me back. To make you a very happy woman. And well, if I'm still talented in bed like I was before I left. Who needs magic." He kissed her on the top of her head as they stood at the landing.

"Master, Misses." WInky stood by the door, smiling up a them. "Your car is ready."

"Winky, would you like to come with us?" Barty asked, helping Hermione into her coat. "You could converse with the other House Elves. Catch up." He smiled down at her.

"It would be a pleasure Winky if you would come." Hermione smiled at her smaller friend.

"Winky would love to come. But Winky must get nursery ready."

Hermione and Barty stared at confusion at the small elf. "Nursery?" Barty asked.

"Winky must get Nursery ready for baby when Mast and Misses come back from honeymoon." And with that WInky disappeared.

"Okay then." Barty stated. Opening the door for Hermione, as she stood there in confusion and shock. "Hermione?"

"Oh, what?" She looked up at Barty before walking out of the door.

"What's wrong?" He asked, opening the driver door for her, himself still didn't know how to drive.

She waited until he got in the other side, starting the car. "I forgot about children." She stated, as they pulled out of the driveway.

"About the children? Oh Hermione how could you?" He joked, but stopped when he saw that she was serious. "Well, it isn't like we have to have any right now."

"But we have to have some soon. The Marriage Law requires it." She muttered, rubbing her forehead. "I just didn't think about it."

"Don't worry about now Hermione." He squeezed her hand. "And besides with my good looks and good teeth and your intellect and..." He glance at her. "Hair and our magical skills, the kids are surely going to be the cutest, greatest kids everyone's seen in a long time." He smiled at her.

She rolled her eyes. "Thank you, I feel so much better." She stated sarcastically.
