Last chapter, then the epilogue. This is a short end. Thank you all so much for reading. :)
Draco sat on Hermione's couch- sober this time- and puzzled.
"What is this about? Where's Hermione? Why are you in her house?"
"Wait for it… it'll come to you."
He pondered for a moment. She looked at him expectantly.
"uhh… I got nothing. Can you just tell me?"
She sighed, withdrawing her wand from her pocket and pointing it at herself. "Finite."
And just like that, before his eyes, Helen of Troy became Hermione Granger.
He was dumbstruck for several moments, completely at a loss for words.
"I… am the dumbest wizard who ever lived."
"Damn right you are. You're even dumber than Ron!"
"Let's not get carried away."
He stood, wrapping his arms around her. "I'm sorry I'm such an idiot, Hermione."
"I'm sorry I deceived you."
"Forgiven. This changes things."
"How so?"
He withdrew his wand from his pocket, flashing a mischevious smile.
"Well for one, it explains how you knew that curse. It also explains how you knew all those obscure spells, brilliant little witch that you are." He started pacing around her, twirling his wand like a cane. "And it means that I don't have to feel guilty about Helen. I still can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that you're the same person."
"Hey, you did the same thing. If your disguise wasn't absolutely awful, I might be going through the same crisis."
"It also means we can do more things together."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we can go to dinner together, fight in a duel, and go back to my place all in one night. No more hiding our identities from each other."
"You weren't hiding."
"Bite me."
"Is that an invitation?" she smirked.
"No." her smirk dropped.
"Alright then."
He chuckled.
She giggled.
He frowned. "What?"
"You giggled."
"It was a chuckle, not a giggle."
"It was a giggle!"
"MEN DON'T GIGGLE!"
She started tickling him. He fought back.
Ten minutes later, their clothes were strewn about her bedroom floor.
"I just realized this is the third time we've slept together."
"Yeah, so?"
"I thought I was sleeping with two different girls."
"Draco! You cheated on me with other me?" she giggled, mocking him.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry…" he fake-wept into his hands.
"I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on you, you scoundrel."
He perked up immediately. "As long as it means I get to spend more time with you, I'll sleep with every girl on the block."
She slapped him.
He slapped her back.
She kissed him.
He kissed her back.
Not quite finished. Stay tuned for the epilogue :)
