Disclaimer: Do not own Harry Potter

A/N: Thankyou for all your reviewsHermione enjoyed spending time getting to know Narcissa, but things were a little more difficult than they were with the Zabini's. It was never really Narcissa's fault nor was it Hermione's. They both got along with each other well and Narcissa was happy that Blaise and Hermione made Draco happy, but there was still that underlying tension.

For her entire life Narcissa had been told to hate people like Hermione and if it was ever found out that she showed any kind of affection or was nice to anyone like that, she was punished. When she was married to Lucius she was punished severely. That is not something that one can forget so easily. Both Narcissa and Hermione tried though and that was the most important thing

vVv

For the first time since they got together, Hermione woke-up before the boys. She was lying on her side facing Draco with Blaise behind her, his arm wrapped around her. She felt so safe when she was in their arms. She reached over and stroked the hair out of his eyes. She loved to run her fingers through both their hair. It was so soft and ran through her fingers like silk.

Draco's eyes fluttered open and stared at her as she was playing with his hair "Morning beautiful"

"Morning"

"What are you looking at?"

"You!"

"Why?"

"Because I love you"

"I love you too. You and Blaise have never made me happier"

"As you have made us happy"

Draco looked deep into her eyes "You and my Mother aren't getting along, are you?"

"We are getting along fine; it's just going to be a little more difficult. Your Mum has had a hard life and it is just going to take a little longer for her to truly forget all the rubbish that Lucius and the rest of her family have drummed into her head for practically her entire life"

"Why can't this be as easy as it was with Blaise's family?" He said sadly

"We knew this wasn't going to be the easy Drake. She accepts our relationship; the rest is just going to take a little time"

"I hope you're right"

"Of course I am" Hermione said with a smile. Draco just smiled and shook his head

"What do you think we should do when we go back to school?"

"About us you mean?" Draco nodded "I'm not sure. I don't really want to hide what we have, but no one is going to truly understand. I don't even know how to tell Harry and Ron"

"Are you going to tell them?"

"Well you and Blaise told your families and they are pretty much all I have that is even close to a family"

"You know you don't have to if you don't want to Mia"

"It's all going to come out eventually, things like this always do"

"No matter what happens both Blaise and I are always going to be here for you"

"Thankyou, I just have to wait for the right time for them to actually find out. At least when we go back to school we know that we are still going to be together. If we had to go back to sleeping in separate rooms we would all go crazy within a week"

"I wonder if Vivienne is going to tell Dumbledore about us sharing a bed"

"I don't know. If she doesn't we are going to have at least one other room that will never get used"

"Maybe we can change it into a training room. Magically expand it and put in all the stuff that we have trained with over the summer, put in a lap pool for Blaise so he doesn't have to keep going down to the school pool"

"I didn't even know that Hogwarts had a pool"

"Not many people do Cara"

Draco and Hermione looked over her shoulder at a now awake Blaise

"How long have you been awake?"

"Not long. You're right love your voice does vibrate through your chest"

"Well if you didn't sleep with your hand on my breast then you probably would have stayed asleep"

"But I love your breasts especially your left one"

Draco began laughing

"And what do you find so funny?" Hermione asked

"Just that I prefer your right one"

Hermione laughed "You two are so weird. What are you going to do, split me in half?"

"See now why should we do that Cara when we can have you as a whole package and just enjoy you together"

"I like the sound of that" Draco said as he moved closer. Hermione just smiled she could never get enough of the two of them.

By the end of their time with Narcissa things had gotten quite a lot easier. After her talk with Draco that morning she had decided to try and spend as much time with Narcissa, just so they could get to know each other properly. Everything went really well; Both opened up to each other more and Hermione was even helping her with the different muggle items that would be worth having in the wizarding world.

When it was time for them to go to Diagon Alley, they left with promises of writing as often as possible and keeping Narcissa up to date with everything that was going on with them.

They got to Diagon Alley by mid morning and got a nice room at the Leaky Cauldron. Tom the barkeeper had given them a funny look when all three of them asked for just one room with a large bed, but he didn't voice any of his opinions. They settled into their room and then decided to go shopping and get all their stuff together for school.

After a stop at Gringotts where both Draco and Blaise were surprised by the size and volume of Hermione's large vault, they moved on to get all their school needs.

"So what do we need?" Blaise asked, his arm around Hermione's shoulder as she held onto Draco's hand

"Well it looks like we are all in the same advanced classes this year, so we need three books for each subject"

They entered Flourish and Blotts. Both the boys grabbed baskets as Hermione read off the books that they needed.

"Potions, Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle studies"

"Why are you taking muggle studies Mia?"

"I find it interesting to see it from a wizard's point of view, plus this year it was either Muggle studies or Divination"

"That woman is a bloody nutter. She spends way too much time up in that tower" They all laughed

"None of us are taking History of Magic!"

"Cara we can easily read a book and not only learn it faster but also not be as bored. I've seen you in that class drifting off. Anyway one less class means we get to spend more time together in our room" Blaise said as he nuzzled her neck

"Mmm I like the sound of that!"

They went all around Diagon Alley that day re-stocking their potion supplies, buying new quills and parchment. Hermione got a new book bag, while Draco got a new pair of dragon hide Qudditch gloves. By the end of the day they had gotten everything that was on their lists.

"Is that is Mia?"

"I just need a new pet!"

"I thought you had a cat?"

"Crookshanks died a little while before I came to Avalon"

"Did you want to get a new cat Cara?"

"No I was thinking that with all the people that want me to write to them I would get an owl. Other than that, if I got a new cat I would feel like I was just replacing Crookshanks"

"Well then let's go find you the most perfect owl!"

They went into the pet store and looked over all the owls. Most were kind of plain, others were quite large. She didn't want her owl to be either. She was walking towards the back of the store when a medium sized owl caught her eye. It was just a barn owl but it had the oddest coloured feathers. Instead of being various shades of brown, it was pinks, oranges and reds.

"What an odd looking owl" Blaise said as he came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist

"I think she's beautiful" Hermione went up and carefully stroked the beautiful bird

"Well that's a first" the shop owner said coming towards them

"Sorry?"

"That bird has always bitten anyone that has ever even tried to get close to her"

"Looks like it's meant to be Cara"

"I think you're right Blaise. I'll take her" she said to the shop keeper.

She left a little while later with her new owl that she had affectionately named Magenta as well as some owl treats and a new cage for travelling in. Thankfully all their other stuff had been sent to their room at the Leaky Cauldron so they didn't have to carry that much back.

The next day was going to be all about clothes. Since they had begun training they had all become very toned and the boys had gained some very significant muscles. They all needed either new uniforms or were having some of their others adjusted. Blaise and Draco had also brought Hermione out of her shell a little, so she was having her skirts shortened a little as well as buying some new things for weekends and such.

They had just finished at Madam Malkin's and were walking down the street when Hermione stopped

"What is it Mia?"

"How about I meet you both back here in an hour?"

"Where are you going?"

"I just need to do a bit more shopping and I want to do this one on my own"

"Ok we will meet you here in an hour"

Hermione walked off leaving Blaise and Draco a little confused, but this was truly something that she liked to do on her own. You see at the beginning of every school year Hermione bought a gift for herself, something truly personal. When she was younger it would be a book or something like that, but as she got older she started buying herself underwear. No one knew that the Gryffindor bookworm liked to wear sexy underwear under her robes. For some reason they made her feel empowered and sexy.

Draco and Blaise were definitely surprised the first time they had seen her underwear. Their eyes had almost bulged out of their heads. She liked that idea this year as she was walking into the store. She wasn't buying the underwear for herself but also for them.

"Ah Miss Granger I wondered when we would be seeing you this year"

"Hello Mikayla"

Mikayla was the stores owner and designer and was quite happy to help Hermione whenever she needed it.

"I've put aside quite a few things for you this year; there has been a great selection. Have a look around while I go and get the things I have put aside"

Hermione loved browsing through this store almost as much as she loved going through Flourish and Blotts. This year she decided to have a look in the men's section to see if she could find anything for her boys, no not boys; Her men!

She found some really nice boxer shorts and decided to get all three of them silk robes in their favourite colours. She was surprised to actually find an orange one for Blaise. As she was walking back into the ladies section a mannequin caught her eye. It had on a set of bra and knickers that were silver and green and silver thigh high stockings with little green bows on the top. It was a perfect surprise for both Draco and Blaise.

Mikayla came out with a large rack full of different types of underwear for Hermione

"Oh these are gorgeous Mikayla, I was also wondering if that set on the mannequin over there come in my size?"

"Oh most certainly"

Hermione went through the whole rack and kept many of them, leaving very few. She and Mikayla took everything up to the front counter to be paid for and packaged. As she was packaging everything Mikayla noticed the men's selection

"Are these yours Miss Granger?"

"Yes they are. Just some gifts"

"Oh you have a wizard in your life"

"Yes I do" Hermione said with a smile. There was no need to explain that it was actually two wizards.

"Who?" Someone said behind her. Hermione turned around to come face to face with none other than Pansy Parkinson "Who would want a mudblood like you?"

Hermione just looked at her with the perfect imitation of Draco's smirk "You'd be surprised" She turned and signed to have the money taken directly from her vault at Gringott's and collected her packages "Thanks Mikayla, see you next time. Have a nice day Pansy" Hermione said happily over her shoulder

vVv

Draco and Blaise were left a little dumbstruck, but quickly pulled themselves together and walked off in the opposite direction

"What do you think she's up to?"

"Who knows? Even after all the time that we have spent together she can still be a mystery sometimes"

"So can you Drake!"

"I guess that's what makes our relationship work. We don't know absolutely everything about each other"

"Yeah that and the mind blowing sex" Blaise laughed

"That definitely has it's place" Draco laughed along with him

They had stopped out the front of a jewellery store as they were talking. Both turned and looked at the window.

"Want to get something for Mia?"

"I was just thinking the same thing!"

Walking in the elderly man behind the counter greeted them "good day gentlemen is there anything I can help you with today?"

"Yes we are looking for something for our girlfriend"

"Well let me show you a few things"

Draco stood and looked at the things the man was showing him, but Blaise wondered a little, having a look in the different display cases. He could hear Draco umming and ahhing over a few things, but knew that whatever they got for their Mia had to be perfect.

He was looking in a case full of pendants when one in the top left corner caught his eye "Drake check this out" Draco came over to where he was standing and Blaise pointed

"That's perfect!"

"Ah yes that is a very special pendant. Three stones, amber, amethyst and sapphire all set into a triangle of platinum with an interesting symbol inscribed on the back. There have been rumours that this was made in Avalon by both Merlin and Morgana, but they can never been proven"

"What's the symbol?"

The man took the pendant out of the case and turned it over showing both Blaise and Draco. There inscribed on the back as plain as day was their birthmark.

"We'll take it!"

They had half the cost charged to each of their vaults and then left with the necklace.

"Do you think it's true?"

"It's too much of a coincidence not to be!"

"Those stones match our eyes perfectly and our birthmark on the back"

"You know this is going to make Mia go back into research mode again?"

"Yeah but we knew that would happen as soon as we got back to school anyway. Maybe it would be for the best, it will keep her away from Potter and Weasley for a while"

"She said that she wanted to tell them, but I hear her fretting in her sleep"

"That's my point exactly"

They sat down outside a cafe and ordered. Draco pulled the necklace out of his pocket and opened the box to look at it.

"All this stuff with us is so weird and infuriating. If these people could see us coming 1000 years ago why couldn't they give us more details? What good does it do us having to guess what is going to happen? How do we know that we aren't continually in danger or something?"

Hey Drake calm down. You know that that's what Cara is researching for and if we want answers maybe we should give her a hand"

"Give me a hand with what?" Hermione asked sitting at their table

"Just your research into us Cara. Jeez what did you do buy out the whole store?" Blaise asked noticing all the bags

"I just got a few things!"

Draco and Blaise noticed the name on all the bags

"Mikayla's. Isn't that....?"

"Oooh did you buy something naughty Mia?" Draco asked reaching for a bag

"Never you mind" Hermione said with a smile as she swatted his hand away and shrunk all the bags, putting them in her pocket.

"I thought you said an hour Cara?"

"I just got done a little quicker than I expected. So what did you two do?"

Draco and Blaise looked at each other, smiled and nodded. Draco slid the box over to Hermione.

"What's this?"

"Just a little token of our love and appreciation"

She opened the box and gasped "It's beautiful! The stones match our eyes"

"Turn it over Cara"

"Did you have it inscribed?"

"No that was already there. The man at the store said that there is a rumour that it was made in Avalon by both Merlin and Morgana"

Hermione looked up with wide eyes "Is it true?"

"We don't know"

"We will have to write Vivienne as soon as possible" She said as she really looked at the pendant "Could one of you help me put this on please?"

Draco stood and slipped the pendant around her thin neck as she held her hair up. He clasped it at the back and quickly kissed her neck before sitting down again. Hermione smiled at both of them as she leaned over giving them each a lingering kiss.

None of them noticed the very red headed twins watching the exchange with their mouths agape or the photographer from the new Teen Witch magazine snapping furiously.

A couple of days later Hermione went to see Fred and George at WWW while Draco and Blaise were checking out the new Qudditch store. She had a look around while they were serving some customers. She thought some of their products were very interesting especially some in the adult section. She, Blaise and Draco could have quite a bit of fun with some of those.

While Fred and George were in another part of the store she took some of the things to the counter and paid Verity for them. Thankfully everything had been put in a bag by the time that George came over.

"Hey Granger"

"Hi George, business seems to be going well"

"Yeah it is. I'm surprised to see you buying something"

"Well you know things change and you have some great stuff"

"Thankyou. So what have you been up to over the summer?"

"Oh you know training for the coming year"

"Meet anyone interesting?" he asked with a twinkle in his eye

"What do you know?" Hermione knew that when either twin had a twinkle in their eye they either knew something or they were just about to prank someone.

"Follow me"

He took her into the back room and Fred joined them a minute later

"What's going on guys?"

"We could ask you the same thing Granger. You see we were walking back from lunch yesterday and saw something very interesting at the cafe' down the street"

Everything clicked in Hermione's head and her eyes bugged out of her head "Please don't tell Harry and Ron. I want to be able to tell them myself"

"So you're not being imperioed?"

"No. I am with them willingly"

"Fine we'll keep your secret, but it'll cost you!" Both said together with their evil smile

"How about you keep my secret and I'll keep yours.....From your mother!"

"Oh yeah and what secret would that be?"

"Just a little bit of information about you two and Angelina Johnson"

Their smiles instantly fell from their faces "Where did you hear about that?"

"Charlie! He thought it may come in handy some day"

"Oh you are evil!"

"I learnt from the best. Have a good day boys, I'll see you later"

Hermione walked out of the back room and the store with a huge smile on her face. She would have to remember to write Charlie and thank him for that little bit of information. When he first told her she thought she would never have use for it, but now she was glad that she had it. Fred and George would do anything to have that information away from their mother.
