"Draco you told me more about you, can I tell you more about me?" I asked him, almost shyly.
"I want to know everything there is to know about you." He answered and I could see the honesty in the eyes.
"Well then, where should I begin." I said and moved to lean back against his chest as I prepared myself to fill Draco in on the last 18 years of my life.
I told Draco all about my childhood, my parents work, muggle school. I told him about having no friends due to being quiet and bookish. I told him about holidays we went on, the places we visited, about my grandmother and her baking. It was easier to talk about then I thought it would be and I would stop to answer questions about muggles things when he got lost with what I was talking about. Visiting a theme park was apparently high on our priorities once that babies where here and we finished schooling. I couldn't help but laugh at how excited he was at the idea.
"When I found out about magic, it was like the most amazing thing I'd ever heard. It was like all the pieces fit into place. Finally, I understood why I was so different. Why strange things happened to me. I was so excited to come to Hogwarts, but then it turned out magical children are just as much assholes as regular ones." I said with a dry chuckle and he just squeezed my hand. I finished my food and packed it away. "I was so lonely, at least in the muggle world I had my parents to go home to... but at Hogwarts I was truly alone. Then there was so many new things for me to learn in this amazing world I tried not to think about it, the loneliness." I took a deep breath remembering how utterly scared and alone I had felt those first several weeks of school. "Then on Halloween of first year I was crying in the bathroom and that's when the troll got in." Draco stiffened. "Of course, it managed to find me alone in this whole castle, but then the most amazing thing happened, and Harry and Ron saved me. They came searching for me and took on a fully-grown mountain troll for me. That how we became friends."
"You were actually attacked by a troll? When you were 11?" He asked.
"Yes, though if that shocks you, I can't wait to you think of the next five years." I said dryly.
"Guess I'm about to find out how many of those school rumours were true or not."
"If you want too." I said with a shrug.
"Yes, please continue"
It was almost three hours later that I finished telling Draco about everything Harry, Ron and I got up to at school. I then told him about being on the run, but not what we were looking for at the time.
I could feel him tense and freeze at some parts of my story, while other parts resulted in him bury his head into the crook of my neck and just inhaling briefly. When I finished, ending with how we got to the castle for the final battle, we sat there in silence for a few moments before he let out a long low whistle.
"Holy shit," He whispered, and I let out another dry chuckle, wiping my tears on the back of my hands. "How the fuck is you three still alive? Like seriously, do run off some sort of luck potion while simultaneously having a danger magnet hidden on your person?"
I shrugged. "I'm not sure honestly, by third year I was learning stuff in order to help us in those situations more so then for school, always be prepared."
"Prepared, that's a bit of an understatement. No wonder you were top of the year. I hope Potter and Weasley know how lucky they are to have had you by their side."
"I think they do," I said with a slight shove of his shoulder, struggling to contain my yawn.
"Thank you," he said softly pulling us to lie down, spooning me with his arms wrapped around us, I just sighed snuggling myself into him, getting comfortable. I could already feel sleep taking over
"Thank you for listening, for forgiving me, for trusting me, for loving me, but mainly thankyou for sharing everything with me." He whispered. "I love you Hermione."
I wanted to tell him that he didn't need to thank me, that I loved him too, but I was too far gone. I feel asleep in his arms, smile on my face, despite the horrors of our past lingering around us.

I felt her body relax completely and breathing shallow out, knowing she was sleeping. Looking at my watch it showed to be just after 1.a.m but I was wide awake. I couldn't believe the things she had told me. They things she, they had been through and not just in the war, but in school as well. It made me question Dumbledore and his competency. It made me take an even harder look at myself then I already had been after hearing my treatment of her from her point of view. Honestly, I thought I was going to be sick while she was telling me about being petrified.
I sighed and rolled over, moving myself away from the seemingly angle – ha! Angle to me maybe, but wow that girl had broken some rules. Not just some actually a lot.
I mean Polyjuice potion in 2nd year, to break into my common room and interrogate me non the less. Its always the quiet ones and I know there had been a dragon there! This explains how it disappeared though. Then there was the whole time turner things, like bloody hell!
I stood up quietly, cover Mia with a blanket so she wouldn't miss my warmth too much and decided I needed to go for a walk to clear my head. I pulled on some shorts and made my way out to our beach walking back and forth in our private area while I continued to process the bucket load of information that threatened to overwhelm me.
Eventually my mind began to quiet down, and I sunk down just watching the water move slowly in the moon light.
She had suffered more in the last 7 years then anyone should suffer in a life time and I had been a part of that. No matter what she said I would always feel guilty about it.
I shook me head, trying in vain to clear my thoughts once more. Looking back at the glass wall that was our room I vowed to do everything in my power to make sure she never suffered like that again.
It was almost 4 in the morning now and I was finally exhausted. Moving slowly back to bed I sighed as Mia immediately rolled over, head on my chest, one leg thrown over mine. Closing my eyes, I repeated the vow in my head. I would protect my family.
Short short chapter this time, but I didn't want to add anything else to this part of the story. So next chapter should be the remainder of the honeymoon and the New years eve ball... Also, I think it's time for Harry's memory to come back... what do you think?
You've read, now review.
