I do not own any of the HP character JKR does. I do not have a Beta but I do have spell check, please be patient and kind with the misspellings I do try and pick them up but an odd few might slip through. I have placed my finished lemon in the last chapter.

Draco POV
"Wow" I whisper looking through the gates at the refurbished building
"My thoughts exactly" My wife stood next to me gazing loving up at me, I smiled and caressed her cheek with my hand.
"So how do we get in?" I asked and smiled down at her

"Hogwarts wards will have notified Dumbledore or a Professor we are here"
"Indeed Mrs Malfoy" A dark cold voice said in the darkness of the castle
"Sev open the gates were freezing"
"And if I don't Mr Malfoy" Severus came into view smirking but still opened the iron gates and lowered the magic to let us through.

"After you Hermione" Hermione smiled and walked through the gates and up the path, I lagged behind slightly with Severus.
"Thanks for … the … uh … potion you made up for ... Hermione Sev" Severus smirked
"Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable Mr Malfoy, one would think you would be able to ask freely of your godfather instead of asking your father to write him a letter"

"Hey, blame Mother, I insisted I would come and ask you, Mother being Mother say this as my chance to escape and ordered Father to ask you instead"
Severus nodded at my explanation and rushed on ahead to open the door for Hermione whilst I levitated the bags up the hill

Hermione POV
"Thank you Professor" I smiled slightly and walked into the entry hall
"Oh there you are Mrs Malfoy, we expected you a bit sooner, but not to worry" Professor Mcgonagal pulled me into a tight embrace and nodded sternly in Draco's direction.
"Sorry Professor, Paris has a lot to offer" I smiled as she let go of me and my lungs thanked in her in appreciation as they filled up with oxygen.
"Come dinner is nearly ready, Mr Malfoy leave the bags there and a house elf will take them up" I smiled back at Draco before the Professor dragged me into the great hall.

"Wow, Professor the work gone into the refurbishment is fantastic" I gaped around awestruck
"A Malfoy doesn't gawp Hermione dear" Draco all but hissed at me
"Oh hush Draco with your rules, Have you seen the hall" Severus sniggered behind Draco and pointed out little details I had missed to Draco's annoyance.
"You will be sat at the teachers table now you are heads" Professor Mcgonagal stated dragging me up onto the platform and into my chair.

I smiled at Draco who sat next to me.
"What's the matter Draco" I queried
"I don't like you disrespecting me in public Hermione" I frowned at his icy stare
"What in the name of … When did I disrespect you?" I hissed at him quietly

"Just a moment a go" I sniggered but let It drop.
"Ah am glad you came early" Dumbledore said sitting in his seat
"Can you draw up the prefect rota tomorrow and tomorrow morning you will need to go with Hagrid to meet the other students at the train station and help any of the new comers settle in" I nodded and took a bite of my potato

I settled into an easy conversation with Severus on my left hand side about the refurbishments and different potions he was working on. Civil Severus I liked, tomorrow would be a different matter when the rest of the students piled into the school, naturally he cannot be seen being nice to one student by another.

"Hermione, I know you will be going to Medi-college next year and I was hoping you would accompany me every Sunday for some work experience" Madam Pomfrey leaned over Severus, much to his aggravation of the matter. I turned my head to Draco but he simply waved his hand in agreiance.
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey, that is an opportunity I simply cannot turn down"
Poppy sat back in her seat with a small smile pulling on her lips.
"Sorry about that, what was it you were saying?" I turned to Severus

"Do you know Mrs Malfoy I cannot remember" Severus answered louder than necessary.
I turned to Draco once I had wiped my mouth and placed it on my plate
"Are you ok?" I asked politely
"Yup, just tired, think I am going to get an early night" Draco through his napkin on his plate and left the great hall. Everybody looked at my retreating husband and then to my beetroot face

"Was got Draco into an hormonal state?" Severus leaned in an asked
"I think it has something with me disrespecting him earlier, I am not sure I am going to hear the end of it" Severus nodded ad filled my goblet back up with wine and Madam Pomfrey's up with whatever refreshment it was she was drinking.

I stayed down in the great hall another hour catching up with my Professors before I found myself walking into the heads dorm. I took my robe off and draped it over the back of the chair. Someone's breath came into contact with the back of my neck.

"I wondered when you and your perfect ass was going to tear yourself away from Severus and join me up here"
I turned around and wrapped my arms around Draco's neck
"I do apologise for earlier Draco, I was in the wrong completely"
Draco smiled and stroked my cheek with his thumb
"I will let you off this once" Draco reached down and nipped my neck with his teeth marking me as his

"I really am sorry, the nerves are getting to me I think" Draco pulled away and frowned
"No one knows we are married and I never did like the attention, I don't want to know or hear what they will think of me once everyone finds out"
"So, your ashamed to be married with an ex death eater, Hermione I thought we had got past the prejudice between us"
"No Draco, you misunderstood, I know everyone is subject to this marriage law, but everyone always said I would never get married and would be too engrossed in my work" I tried to reason with my hand on his chest

"So you're not embarrassed or ashamed to be married to me?" Draco asked sceptically
"No Draco, I am not ashamed OR embarrassed to be married to you" I laid my head on his chest and sighed. Draco Malfoy, jealous, paranoid and possessive, three traits I wouldn't put upon him.

"Shall we get started on the prefect rota then?" Draco asked steering me over to the small dining table. It only took us before bed to pair prefects up in twos and established an official rounds rota. I sent it down to Dumbledore via floo as instructed and sat on the sofa and placed my head on Draco's chest.

"This week has been …"
"Unusual" Draco finished for me
"Getting into a habit finishing my sentences Mr Malfoy"
I looked up to see Draco smirk and got up off from the sofa.
"I am going to go lay in bed, do you wish to come with me?"
I smiled and took his awaiting hand and he took us into the bedroom

"Is there two rooms?" I asked getting a nightgown from my drawers.
"Yes but don't think about storming off over there if we have an argument I have already converted it into a nursery for when the little ones arrive"

I knew I would have to have kids, but for Draco to think I would be having them instantly brought a lump in my throat
"Draco…" I turned around and pleaded with my eyes
"No Hermione, in the contract we are to have a child within two years, wouldn't it be better to have a child early so you can go to medi-school not pregnant" I frowned
"I guess your right" I stormed off to the bathroom still not happy about it
"I would dare say I have been lenient on the set date for the baby making Hermione, I know for a fact Ginny and Blaise only have a year"

I swung open the bathroom door, toothbrush still in mouth. I took it out
"What has Mrs Weasley said about the deadline?" I asked
"I am not sure; everyone knows that the woman is as broody as a mother goose when it comes to babies so I can't really see it as a problem.

I nodded my head and put my toothbrush back in its stand. I turned the light off and shut the door.
"You look rather hot with your glasses on" I bit my lip and climbed into my side of the bed, Draco groaned and took them off

"I begged my parents as a child for me to have corrective surgery but they didn't want my good looks to go to waste if they messed up, what with me being the only heir and all" I nodded and lay down on my pillow. Draco lowered his body down next to me.

"Goodnight Hermione" Draco whispered into the darkness
"Goodnight Draconis" I whispered back placing my hand on his own drifting into sleep.
