Hello :) I just wanted to publish this; I didn't write it out and surprisingly enough I typed it out. It's a bit rushed; I may go back and sketch it out. I really do like it though!
I'm working on a short story that LadiePhoenix007 has so graciously allowed me to adopt. I won't be able to publish until after Spring Break, mostly likely April First (No joke lol). I am working on another one-shot as well. A Snape x Hermione. I do read other pairings but my ultimate favorite is Snilly and Dramione 3 Can't go wrong with forbidden love!
As always, enjoy. Look forward to three more today as well.

Draco x Hermione
"You didn't." she whispered, astonished. Her eyes went wide with a mixture of shock and unsuppressed wonder. Like a child, Hermione's eyes glowed vibrantly as she stared at the small box. "Please tell me you didn't, Draco."
"I did." he told her with a prideful grin. "Open it, darling."
Her hands shook violently as she untied the red ribbon wrapped around the silver box. Her heart thrummed in her chest, her hands became sweaty, her eyes blurry with hopefully would be joy after she discovered what was inside the little box. Draco watched intently as her slender fingers grazed the contours of his gift; with a gleeful glint brought by a man's internal need to stake claim on what was theirs, his eyes combed over her facial features just as the silver wrapping was stripped the top of the box was open.
Inside was a diamond ring with her birthstone. Hermione gasped, her eyes widening in complete, unadulterated surprise. Never in a million years did she think that she was receive something so stunningly beautiful, much less from the boy that had bullied her almost all through their school years. Hermione looked up at her boyfriend of three years with blurred eyes; tears brought by from happiness mixed with the eternal appraisal of her love skimmed her cheeks and landed tragically in the corners of her lips. She shook her head slightly, as if trying to remove the image before her. She couldn't; this was real.
"It's taken years for you to forgive me," he traced the outline of her arm where his Aunt punctured her skin. The words Mudblood was marbled over, barely visible to the naked eye. Even so, it still brought on nightmares and terrors. Although it was his Aunt that gave her the scar, she found in his heart to forgive him, to forgive him for the scar, for the years of bullying and torment. For someone so pure and someone so deep in sin, they made a perfect, yet questionable match. Some found their union odd, others found it disgusting. It was from the support of their closest friends that they were even to make it this far. And, she loved him even more for that and grew to forgive him even for that. "I know it hasn't been easy dating me, as I knew it would have been but… I can't see myself being with anyone else. You've made me so incredibly happy. You've inspired me to be a better person, to forgive myself first before seeking forgiveness from other's and I can't thank you enough."
By this time, she was crying. Her sobs were drowned out by Draco's own dousing release. Slowly, he brought his lips to hers and shared a slobby, novice kiss, almost mirroring the first one they shared during the first couple of months of dating. Their lips rolled over each other's until Draco pulled away, allowing her calm down.
"I love you, Hermione. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? To spend the rest of our lives together, to love and to hold until death do us apart?"
An image of what their wedding entailed flashed before her eyes and she couldn't help saying, "I do."
They kissed to seal the deal of holy matrimony.
