Note: I know I've been slow updating. I'm sorry guys. Here's the latest chapter. There will be probably 2 or 3 more in this one and I hope you guys like it

The altercations between Slytherin and Gryfindor continued to a point where Hermione seriously considered forgetting about her final year and leaving. Draco had convinced her to stay and eventually it calmed down and went back to normal. Or as normal as it could be. Hermione had become good friends with Blaise and Harry and Ron had actually begun to become friends with Draco apart from the occasional arguments. They had all taken to joining in the head common room after dinner to talk and relax and it was on such a night that they found themselves seriously discussing their future and upcoming graduation.

"What do you want to be?"

Hermione shrugged. "If you think about it logically…"

Everyone groaned and she glared at them playfully before continuing. "If you think about it logically, the only real job we can get is in the wizarding world right? I mean in the muggle world we'd have to finish high school and go to college. We've been trained for the wizarding world."

Harry got a thoughtful look on his face before answering. "I never thought of it that way."

Draco held Hermione's hand gently and she smiled leaning in to him. The baby was being quiet having been put to bed hours before. Hermione had been thinking about her future for a long time and now graduation was looming closer she wanted to know what was going to happen. There was so much to decide. What career to take, the baby, Draco. Hearing her friends talk excitedly about the future was slowly making her sad and a tear slid down her cheek before she could stop it. The only person that noticed however was Draco. He gently wiped it away before looking at her questioningly and she shook her head.

When it got to late they let their friends stay in the common room downstairs and they went to bed and he held her. He knew something was wrong but decided not to press. In the following weeks that came Hermione wasn't having any luck deciding what she wanted to do. She only knew that she was going to raise Draco the best she knew how. Her friends had all decided what they wanted to be and Draco had as well and had surprisingly been asked to take early exams. When Harry found out he was very upset until Draco offered to help him study.

Neville and Luna were going off to the country together and Ron and Lavender were going to get a house near London. Ginny was going to stay at the burrow for the summer and Harry had accepted her invitation to stay with them. Draco had received funds from his mother when his father died and said she wanted nothing further to do with him and he said that suited him fine. He was planning on asking Hermione to move in with him. He just hadn't figured out how yet.

Hermione had said she wanted to go somewhere quiet but still close to her friends and London. Draco wasn't surprised by her logic. He had expected it. She had no clue what she wanted and she knew exactly what she wanted. It made no sense but it was undoubtedly Hermione. She would make her choice sooner or later he knew that. He was proud that he would have a good job to help her and the baby but knew she hated how dangerous it was. He knew she wanted something busy and dangerous but not too dangerous which was expected after the war. It would take time to get used to everything.

It was on the last week of school that he had decided what he was going to do. He had asked Blaise and Harry to help him and Ron had insisted on coming too. Draco had rolled his eyes but said nothing and in the end it took them twice as long as Draco thought it would. He was irritated at the time it took but at least he wasn't irritated with them. He began preparing the rest of it grateful at least that Hermione had no clue what was happening.

Hermione was keeping busy as well helping everyone study for owls and had never been so proud when they all got Os. She knew that would really help with their career choices which is why they'd given it everything they had. Draco was learning to make sounds which was the cutest thing any of them had ever heard. She had run herself ragged taking care of the baby and helping Draco and her friends but knew that it was necessary. Her friends were getting everything they'd ever dreamed and she was grateful that she was as well.

To celebrate their owls she had planned a party in the head common room and all of her friends had surprised her with a gift as a token of their appreciation. They'd stayed up until dawn thankful that it was the weekend and that they didn't have anymore class. They found themselves hanging out in the common room more and more and going to sleep later and later. It was as if they were trying to squeeze as much time as humanly possible in their last week together.

Hermione had applied to different places for her career choice trying to make the schedule as flexible as possible for the baby and so she could spend time with Draco as well. She had decided where she wanted to go as well. Now it seemed the only thing that still needed deciding was Draco. She didn't know what was happening with him. He was distracted all the time and dodgy when she spoke of the future. It was begging to irritate her. She said nothing wanting to keep the peace but she was wondering how long it was going to go on before she said something.

Finally the night before graduation they talked. He asked her where she wanted to go and what her plans were and they worked out a plan together hoping that it was the right decision. It was a big step for both of them and the baby.

And that's it. I hoped you like it and please read the next chapter its their graduation and Hermione gets a big surprise. Please review the next chapter should be up by the end of the week.
