Chapter 10: A Stroke of Luck

Hermione sat on the couch, legs tucked under her body with a bright smile. She stroked the spine of the book in her lap. Her mind was on Ginny. Hermione hadn't seen Ginny since the wedding because shortly after Ginny had been offered the job of seeker for the Holyhead Harpies. So Harry and Ginny moved to Wales to peruse Ginny's career. Harry was working as an auror in Wales.

Hermione smirked down at the book, slipping her legs down to the floor. She slipped into the kitchen, looking at the pictures on the fridge and beaming. There was a picture of Ginny and Harry standing outside Harpies' Quidditch pitch. Ginny beamed happily while wearing her green Quidditch uniform. Harry was laughing at something Ginny had just said as he held her arm.

Ginny had taken a weekend off of practice to come up and see Hermione so Hermione was making them dinner. She silently looked around the kitchen. It was quaint, painted yellow and white with lacy white curtains covering the four windows that provided most of the light for the room. There was a little, square table with four wicker chairs around it in the center of the room. It was perfect. She smiled happily before turning to start working on dinner.

The doorbell rang a few minutes after Hermione started cooking and she hurried to the door, smiling Ginny and Harry who were standing behind it. "Hi guys." She said, hugging them both before shoving them toward the kitchen. "I just started dinner. How are things?"

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Oh, Hermione! Haven't you read my letters? I went into great detail. You've missed nothing!" Ginny's bright eyes gave the expression that there really was nothing left to tell. She wrapped an arm around Hermione's shoulder with a smile. "How are things here?" Her grin brightened the sunny kitchen.

Hermione smiled, placing one hand on her stomach for a moment before turning back to the stove. "Things are good." There was a smirk in her voice. "Here," She sat two glasses in front of them. "Sit down." She told them, but Ginny shook her head.

"No, no. I am helping." She told Hermione and Hermione sneered back, but didn't disagree.

Harry looked around, curious before sitting down and sipping from the glass Hermione had set in front of him. "So, Hermione, where's Draco?" His voice was mild, not completely convinced he wanted to know the answer.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry's expression. "He's working too, Harry. It's not exactly permanent, but he's working a desk job at Gringotts for now." She smiled over at Harry. "I thought you stopped hating Draco? You realize he isn't going anywhere. It would be a lot easier to just accept that I love him and he loves me and we're together... accept it!" She begged, laughing at her own wit.

Harry rolled his eyes at her. "I've exepted it, but I don't quite trust him yet."

Hermione sighed. "I guess that will have to be good enough for now, right?" She asked him. He nodded as he heard the door open and close quickly. There was the sound of Draco's feet running across the carpet and then he appeared in the cozy little kitchen, throwing his arms around Hermione. He kissed her and she looked at him, blushing. "Draco, we have guests. What's got you so…" She studied his expression, searching for a word to describe it but seemed to fall short of finding such word. "…exasperated?" She asked, but Ginny laughed at her expression; Hermione's eyes were bright with confused excitement but her eyebrows were scrunched together from the concentration.

Draco looked around with a funny expression like he'd forgotten the company they had been expecting for weeks but turned back to Hermione with a smile. "I've gotten a job, flying as the keeper for the Falmouth Falcons." He told Hermione and her eyes went wide. He kissed her nose with jubilance.

"That's fantastic, Draco." Hermione said, smiling at him.

Harry shook his head. "Am I the only past Quidditch player that isn't going to do Quidditch for a career?" He shook his head again. "I feel like such a loser."

Ginny walked over to him, putting her hand on his shoulder. She beamed down at him. "You aren't a loser. You had a different dream."

"Yeah, Harry. You could get a job as the seeker for any of these teams if you wanted to." Hermione said with a smile. "The only thing is you'd never leave Ginny for that." Her eyes were so sure it was cute. Draco watched her expression and couldn't stop smiling. He had been an awful person and now he had the sweetest, most beautiful girl in the world. He was the luckiest bastard in the world.
