Hermione woke to a slightly throbbing head and a giant grin on her face. Yesterday had gone a bit pear-shaped, but the evening and early morning had more than made up for it. She thought back to the quiet kisses Draco had stolen as they spoke on the terrace or when they thought no one was looking. She remembered that he walked her to her room and snogged her senseless goodnight before, what she thought was a slight skip in his step, back to his own room for the night.

They had agreed to drive back to London together, maybe grab a meal or something and discuss seeing more of each other over the next week and who knows?

Hermione was packed and heading down the stairs when she saw Harry at the bottom, struggling with Luna and Ginny's heavy bags.

'Ever the gentleman, aren't you Harry.' Hermione chuckled. 'You know you could levitate or shrink those, right?'

It was as if a light bulb went off in Harry's head and he pulled out his wand to levitate the bags to the car.

'Shall I take yours too?'

'No thanks, I am heading back to the city with Draco.'

'You are, are you?' Harry gave Hermione a sheepish look, a little too knowing. 'Perhaps a little distraction from yesterday's events?'

'Ha ha Harry, I know you saw us last night. You see everything! We are going to see where it goes, probably not jump into anything too quickly.

'You mean like his bed?'

'Yes, you git, like his bed!'

'I don't think I am as heartbroken about Theo as I maybe should be, but Draco has been amazing, and now that I think about it, he has been quite amazing for a little while now. I am just going to have to figure out how to deal with Lucius.'

'What is that supposed to mean?' Harry looked concerned, what was Hermione getting herself into?

'What she means is that my father is a lecherous bastard who will hit on just about any pretty witch, or wizard, now that I think about it.' Draco had descended the stairs with his own luggage hovering behind him and was now standing next to Hermione with a possessive arm around her shoulders.

Hermione thought Draco and Harry shared a look, that only lasted a few moments, but held a lifetime of meaning.

'I had better get these out to the car. I believe Ginny and Luna are currently fighting over who is sitting where, since Luna rode up here in the front.' At this Harry made his way outside, levitating the bags he was in charge of.

Hermione looked up a Draco with a huge grin on her face, 'Shall we head out too?'

'The faster I get you back to London!' With that Draco added Hermione's bag to his own and headed out the door.

Ron was standing with his sister and Luna as they argued about shotgun and fairsies. She could hear Ron trying to calm the 2 girls down and offer a half way solution to their seating problem.

As Draco and Harry were loading luggage into their respective cars, she could hear arguing as 2 people emerged from the house.

'This is fucking bullshit Theo, none of my make-up or glamour charms are working!'

'I don't know what the fuck you want me to do about it Etta, I am in the same predicament. Let's just head back to London and hopefully my private healer can make some headway.'

'But Theo, I can't go back to my flat like this, I will never hear the end of the ribbing from Millie!'

'Oh shut up, you are not staying with me, we need some serious space for a few days!'

'But Theo...'

'Shut it, I am done, just get in the fucking car and hopefully we don't need to stop for anything.'

At this the pair had come upon the group getting ready to leave. Marietta seemed to have been able to mask the bulk of her face with her hair, but Theo's bright purple complexion was easily noticeable to the onlookers.

'Oh...er...um...hello Hermione, Draco.' Theo's blush could just be seen through the violet tint. 'We uh, we woke up purple this morning, can't seem to figure out why or how to get rid of it.'

Hermione was trying hard to suppress a giggle as she attempting to give Harry serious stink eye. Draco, Harry, Ginny, Luna and Ron were not trying very hard to not burst into fits of laughter.

'Harold James Potter, you promised you wouldn't do anything until the weekend was over!' Hermione was livid that her best friend had broken his promise.

Harry had a difficult time getting his response out through his laughter, 'Can't take credit for that doosey, although I wish I had done it, I kept my promise.'

Hermione rounded on Draco, who could only hold his hands up in surrender and shake his head, and when she looked and Luna and Ginny, they were mirroring his actions. When she finally rested on Ron, she could see his smug satisfaction as he laughed at the purple pair's expense.

'But how did you even know Ron? You have been so focused on Tori and the party, I hadn't had a chance to tell you yet.'

Ron smirked as he gained control of his laughter, 'That my dear, is the patent pending Fidelity Elixir by Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes! I actually slip it to all of your suitors, Nott there is just the only one dumb enough to activate it.'

'But why is Marietta purple too?' Hermione was slightly angry, but also very proud of her best friend looking out for her.

'Well, it's...er...transferred...you know...through...'

'Oh!'

'How long am I going to be purple you fucking weasel?' Marietta was growing angrier as the conversation progressed.

'It should wear off in a month or so, we aren't 100% sure of the effects or results. Would you be interested in coming by the shop daily so we can document your progression?'

Marietta flipped Ron and unkind gesture as she stomped over to Theo's Bentley and slammed the door after getting in. Theo sighed deeply, looked at Hermione longingly, thought better of saying anything to her and proceeded to get in his car as well.

After watching the pair speed out of the lane, Draco turned to Hermione, 'Well, at least you can confirm that he didn't cheat on you until yesterday.'

Hermione simply gave him a look and walked over to Harry's car to offer hugs and promises for plans in the coming week.

'Shall we head back now?' She looked at Draco and gave him a little wink.

'Yes ma'am!' Draco saluted Hermione, 'Let's get back to London as soon as possible!'

A/N I am not sure how I feel about the exact ending, and I apologize for taking so very long to finish the story, but that you all who have read and reviewed!
