31st October 2002

Dear Diary,

I would've lost him tonight if he had bothered to listen to what I said in the morning. Does he even know what he means to me!? I would've died out of shock if his body wasn't treated well. To my surprise, Draco Malfoy was my patient tonight.

First of all, I blame myself for his current condition. If it weren't for protecting me from Yaxley, Draco wouldn't have broken his ribs and wouldn't have injured his pretty face. I wish I could go back in time and change my decision and become an Auror instead of a successful Healer and protect him.

Nevertheless, he's fine and is bedridden for a month. If Harry and Ron call him for another deathly mission , I swear to Merlin, that I'll hex their balls off!

(Sorry for my language.)

Hermione


Draco woke up on an early autumn morning and found his face buried in his girlfriend's cocoa brown curls which ironically smelled like vanilla. Her back was firmly placed against his chest ,one of his arms were tangled with hers and was tucked under her chin. He smiled and placed a kiss on top of her head, when she stirred and snuggled closer to his warmth.

"Don't go Draco." Hermione mumbled like a little child, bringing a wider smile on her boyfriend's face.

"It's just another mission 'Mione!" He cooed, when she turned to him and buried her head into the crook of his neck.

"It's Yaxley out of all the Death Eaters. That's what I'm worried about."

"And he's behind your life. So it becomes my duty to protect you."

"But Draco-"

"No love. Deal with it. I'm going. And so are Harry and Ron. There is nothing to worry about."

Hermione sighed and opened her eyes, finding Draco's mysterious grey eyes, gazing lovingly at her. She smiled and brushed his blonde locks off his face and then leaned to kiss him. Draco obliged and kissed her back passionately as he slowly rolled on top of her and his hands wrapped themselves around her body. He knew he was very much in love with her. But little did he know that his bookworm returned the very same feelings. They broke away and smiled at each other.

"Morning." She said softly.

"Morning." He wished her back and kissed her again. The moment, his tongue begged her lips for an entrance, her cell rang.

He broke away and rolled off her, groaning in annoyance. Hermione pecked his cheek and grabbed her cell from the nightstand and put it on speaker.

"Morning Harry!" Hermione chimed cheerfully.

"Morning love." Harry's voice came from the speaker.

Draco cringed when Harry called his girlfriend 'love'. That stupid little habit of Potter's gave him strong urges to Avada him on the spot.

"For the love of Merlin, Potter-" Draco drawled and Hermione cocked an eyebrow at him "Stop calling my girlfriend 'love'-"

"Good morning to you too Malfoy." He heard Harry speak "When did you barge into Hermione's place!?"

"Last night, when she personally invited me to pleasure her." Draco answered with a smirk and his girlfriend glared at him.

"Please Malfoy! I don't want to know about yours and Hermione's sex life. She is like my sister." Harry moaned , when they heard-'Don't tell me Hermione slept with the ferret!'

"Potter, ask weasel to stop calling me that!" Draco drawled "And you should know the way your 'sister' came all night for me-" he could imagine the disgust on Harry's face when Hermione grabbed her cell and switched off the speaker.

"Don't believe a single word the ferret said." Hermione said quickly, glaring daggers at Draco. "He just dropped in for dinner last night and was too tired to floo back to his flat. So he slept with me. Slept, as in just sleeping. And nothing more."

Draco stifled his laughter when Hermione shook her head "Okay then. I'll prepare baked beans and toast. Wish I could say 'I love you too' Harry, but some people-" she glared at Draco again, who scowled at her" don't like it if I say it to you. Anyway, love you too. See you in five. Bye."

With that, she pressed the red button on her cell, and saw Draco frowning at her.

"Potter gets an 'I love you'. Why don't I!?" He argued, when Hermione smirked at him and pecked his lips.

"Just because, he's not like you who elaborates 'things'." She replied before running off to her kitchen with Draco following her.

"Well, it's true that we snogged each other senseless last night." He reasoned as she took out four cans of baked beans and put the bread slices in the toaster.

"But I didn't come for you." She said nonchalantly, hitting Draco's hand when he dipped his finger in the bean bowl."Now Ron wouldn't eat this if he gets to know that you touched it."

"You sound like me when we were twelve." He commented." I remember that I used to say things like-'I won't eat this because a MUDBLOOD touched it.'"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him, when Draco chuckled and leaned in to kiss her softly. "But not anymore." He said "Just because I was smitten by a muggle born who happens to bemy lovely bookworm girlfriend."

"Oh, and that annoying little ferret happens to be my boyfriend-"

"How is it that you literally warn others from calling me that and you take the liberty to call me-?"

"Just because I am your girlfriend and I can call you as many embarrassing names as I want."

It was now Draco's turn to roll his eyes and hers to smirk when the two heard a series of footsteps nearing the kitchen. Draco smirked when Harry and Ron walked in.

"Well, if it isn't Scarhead and weasel king." He drawled as Hermione glared at him.

"Morning to you too ferret." Ron said casually as he walked over to Hermione and gave a peck on her cheek "And morning to you beautiful."

"Weasel-" Draco mocked him a dangerous look "Stop flirting with my girl, or-"

"Or what!?" Harry joined them and he too gave a peck on Hermione's cheek. "You will hex him into oblivion!? Well in that case, 'Mione will break each and every bone of yours and will make sure that each and every healer refuses to heal you."

Draco opened his mouth to argue when Hermione stopped him.

"Boys, will you stop behaving like five year olds and have your breakfast!?" She said, scolding the other three as if they were toddlers.

"Yes mom." All of them scowled at her, helping themselves with breakfast and sat on the kitchen table. Hermione rolled her eyes and shook her head, before sitting next to Draco.

"So Harry-" she started" did you go to Luna for your eye checkup?!I mean, knowing you don't have glasses anymore and you have a mission to go for-"

"'Mione, I thought you were my personal healer!?" Harry asked.

She smiled "Thanks for reminding me that you and Draco are my personal patients and Ron is Luna's-"

Ron's ears turned red and Draco snorted as she continued.

"Since I'm done with Draco's checkup-"

Now it was Ron's and Harry's turn smirk and Hermione's turn to blush. Draco awkwardly cleared his throat before exchanging a glance with his girlfriend.

"I shouldn't have said that." She muttered so that only Draco could hear.

"Anyway Hermione-" Harry started, sipping on his apple juice",now that I'm here; you can do my checkup."

"After breakfast." She sighed.

"Till then, I'll have a nice chat with Malfoy." Ron said innocently, smirking at Draco.

'I had seen this coming.' Draco thought as he frowned at Ron. 'Hope it goes well.'

"Come on Harry." Hermione motioned her best friend to follow her into her room.

"Don't leave me alone with him!" Draco moaned and Ron smirked.

"He's not going to eat you up." His girlfriend rolled her eyes at him, when she heard Harry chuckle behind her.

Following Hermione to her room, Harry said" Draco's very much possessive about you."

She gave out a small laugh and motioned him to sit on the bed." Very much." She agreed." He's gets really annoyed when you or Ron get really chummy with me."

"And when I call you 'love'." Harry added as she checked his pulse rate. "To be honest, you're really lucky to have him."

Hermione shook her head and smiled as she kneeled down and looked into her friend's loving green eyes. Performing a quick charm on his then, she got up to sit next to him.

"Fit as always Mr. Potter." She commented "Just like my Draco."

"Your Draco!?" He smirked and caught her cheeks flushing red" So, was Draco telling the truth that-"

"No! He wasn't!" Hermione shushed him" And as much as I want to take our relationship to the next level, I don't. I want to go slow. And he's completely fine with it-"

"'Mione!" Harry stopped her blabbering as he held her by shoulders" I don't care about your sex life."

"OH. "She said awkwardly "Sorry. I was just-"

"Worried about him." He finished and she nodded. He smiled, bringing her into his arms and hugged her closer." Don't worry as long as the ferret is with me."

"I'm scared Harry." She confessed" And just because Yaxley. After he got to know that Draco is with me, he started sending me threat mails and you guys-"

"I'll take care of Draco, Ron and myself. I promise."

Hermione dearly looked at him and smiled "Your promise means a lot to me Harry. Thanks."

Giving a peck on her forehead, Harry said "Anything for you. If I had a time turner, I would've gone back to our fourth year and would've made you mine."

"Stop with the flirting Harry!"

"Just fooling around with you my favorite girl. I know your heart belongs to the blonde idiot known as the 'Ferret' to us."

She rolled her eyes, while he laughed.

"I guess we should go and check on the two cousins back in kitchen." She said " Let's hope that they have not Avada'd each other."


Ron sheepishly kept looking at Draco who hadn't opened his mouth after Hermione took Harry up to her room for checkup. He knew that weasel didn't hate him as much as he did before. But disliked him immensely for taking Hermione away from him. Draco knew how protective Ron was about her; like what she said, her bodyguard. And he couldn't blame the poor guy sitting in front of him.

"You know that 'Mione is a virgin right!?" Ron asked as if Draco was accused of having sex with her.

"I'm very well aware of it." Draco drawled back "And don't worry, she's as pure as she was from birth."

Ron nodded in satisfaction and continued" Don't you ever force her into anything-"

"Shut the fuck up weasel." Draco said irritatedly"I've agreed to go slow with her. I'm considering her comfort zone."

"Good. You better do." Ron said when Harry and Hermione walked into the kitchen.

"So guys. We have to leave. Now." Harry said" First, we will go over to Malfoy's and let him freshen up. And then after Yaxley. Understood."

Draco and Ron nodded in agreement, when Hermione sighed and gave Harry a hug.

"Be careful." She said, giving a kiss on his cheek and then gave Ron a hug "All of you. I don't want to see you three under my supervision after your mission." She broke away from Ron's embrace and walked over to her boyfriend "Especially you."

"Yes ma'am." Draco chuckled, when she pulled him into an embrace and inhaled the musky scent from his shirt.

'Freshly mown grass.' She thought as he stroked her hair 'Amortentia got it right.'

She looked at him and caught his endearing gaze at her.

"Please Draco. Take care of yourself." She said anxiously, when Draco dipped down and gave her a chaste kiss. She kissed him back as if it was the last time she were going to see him. She broke away and smiled at him.

"All the best." She said softly, when Draco gave a last peck on her lips and walked into the floo after Harry and Ron.

Hermione sighed to herself and thought 'Wish all of us weren't a part of this atrocious world.'
