Hermione sighed as she stepped into the shower. She was remembering the day's events. After Julian had gone up to his room, the four adults fell into an awkward silence. Hermione had been the first to get up, excusing herself from the table to go and take a shower.

She let the hot water engulf her and she stood under the hot spray for what felt like an eternity. After she washed herself, she stepped out of the shower and put on a fluffy white towel.

She walked into her room to find Draco perched on her bed, looking down at his hands. His hair was damp, indicating he had also recently taken a shower.

"Malfoy" she started to say. He looked up at her and his eyes raked over her body. She blushed. He got up, stalking towards her, and he pushed her against the wall. She looked scared and nervous, before Draco captured her lips with his own. The kiss was short lived, though, as Hermione snaked out of his grasp, and walked towards her bed.

"Malfoy" she sighed, "We need to talk..about Julian."

He just nodded at her, but she could still see the lust clouded in his eyes.

"At least they aren't having sex" Draco said calmly.

"How can you be so calm about this? Even if they aren't yet they're both going off to Hogwarts in two weeks, who knows what'll happen there?!"

"I think you're over reacting. I mean, he wasn't wrong about us. We weren't exactly saints back in our days either."

"That's not the point, Malfoy. You're only saying this because he's a boy. What if it was Alex?"

Draco became very angry. "Alexandra is 7! Of course I would be mad!" Draco exclaimed.

"That's not what I mean. I meant, when she is 16 and you found out that she was being...intimate...with someone, you'd want to kill them."

"This is not about Alex! It is about Julian, and we cannot stop him."

Hermione sighed, "I know, maybe we should go talk to him?" She asked as she started walking towards the door.

"Uh, Granger. You might want to put some clothes on" Draco smirked at her.

She looked down and blushed. She went into her closet and emerged 5 minutes later wearing jean capris and a light blue tee shirt.

Together, Draco and Hermione made their way to Julian's room. They knocked on the door.

"Come in" they heard faintly.

Once inside, they were surprised to see Lily sitting on the bed.

She looked at them and turned beet red, indicating that Julian had told her what had occurred at breakfast that morning.

"Hello, Lily" Hermione smiled. Lily smiled back at her, but it looked forced.

"Well, I'm glad the two of you are here" Draco began, "because we all need to talk."

"Dad" Julian whined. "Must we really have this talk?"

"Yes, Julian. This is serious." Hermione told him. "Malfoy, should we tell Harry and Ginny?"

"NO!" They heard from both Julian and Lily.

Lily looked close to tears. "Please don't tell my parents."

Draco sighed. He didn't know what to do, but he knew Harry would kill Julian if he found out.

"I'm sorry, Lily, but we have to."

Ten minutes later found Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Draco in Julian's room with the kids.

Ginny was beyond angry. Draco was wrong when he said Harry would kill Julian. From the looks of it, Ginny was going to kill all of them.

Julian began to speak. "Lily and I are in love" he stated simply.

At this, the four adults began laughing.

"Love?" Harry was the first one to speak. "You two don't know anything about love."

"Mum, you told me you were in love with dad when you were 11!" Lily piped up, Julian nodding alongside her.

"I was exaggerating" Ginny told the two teens.

"Yeah, but you had me when you were 18, and Aunt Hermione and Uncle Draco had Julian at the same time" she told her mum.

Draco sighed. The children were right. Who were they to lecture, when they had been in the same position 16 years before.

"Look, we're both entering our 7th year, and we think we're ready for what we're doing" Julian told them.

Hermione sighed as well, looking at the three adults, and then turning her attention towards the children.

"Please just think about what you're doing. Don't rush into anything." Julian nodded at her, and the four adults left the room.

"Should we really be leaving them alone?" Ginny asked.

"They wouldn't do anything here, right now. Not after what just happened." Draco chuckled.

Although he agreed that they were too young, he didn't think they had a right to stop them.

The Potters were leaving, just as an owl swooped in and dropped an envelope right at Hermione's feet.

She picked it up and opened it. She smiled inwardly, for she didn't want Draco to become upset. She excused herself to her room, where she read the letter again:

Hermione,

I hope you had just as wonderful a time as I did at dinner. It would be an honor if
I could have the pleasure of your company at the upcoming Ministry Ball. I await your
answer by owl.

Dean

Hermione wanted to go to the ball with Dean, but Draco would be there. Ahh, bugger it, she thought. She pulled out a parchment and wrote back to Dean.

Dean,

I would love to go to the ball with you. You can pick me up from Harry and Ginny's on Friday.

Hermione

It was already Wednesday, giving Hermione only a day to figure out what to wear. She decided she would need to pay a certain Mrs. Potter a visit, so that they could go shop together.

She tied the letter to the owl which delivered her own and set it free out the window, watching it go until it became a small speck, and then disappeared completely.


So I have a new rule. The less reviews I get, the longer it takes me to update. ;)

Unless I get no reviews..in that case, I will continue to update, but I'll assume I'm the only one enjoying this story.

Also, I haven't had a disclaimer in a while, so: Nothing but the plot belongs to me.

XX, Gracie
