Ready to Head Back to School

First let's cover all the legal stuff, I'm not JK Rowling's I don't own any of the Harry Potter Characters. Do I wish I did, you better believe it! This is all from my imagination and in my world Fred, Albus Dumbledore and several other people survived the war. Oh and dear Lucas died!

Chapter 28

Back to School

Sunday is a quiet day at the Malfoy manner Narcissa, Draco and Hermione spend most of the morning finalizing their wedding plans, after lunch Draco and Hermione pull out some of their homework and try working on it. Draco is sprawled out on one of the couches studying History of Magic and working on an Essay, Hermione is on the floor in front of his couch working on her Charms essay, and Narcissa is reading The Prophet and watching the kids out of the corner of her eye.

She smiles to herself, Draco keeps reaching over and playing with Hermione's hair and every once in a while Hermione leans her head back against Draco. As she thinks to herself, I'm so happy they seem to have accepted the law and they truly seem happy. I couldn't bare Draco to be in an unhappy marriage, but I truly think that he is in love. She sighs and thinks of her own marriage. It had been an arranged marriage, she knew that she had been promised to Luciusfrom the time she was 5 years old. So she really didn't know any other way of life. If Lucius hadn't have made so many mistakes their life could have been so different. But, I still miss him, I wish he could see how happy our baby is. But, he would not be happy for them, he wouldn't think that Hermione was good enough for Draco, no way would he allow a muggle born to marry his pure blood son. Narcissa sighs, "Are you ok Narcissa, " Hermione asks.

"Oh I'm fine just reading this article in the Prophet you and Draco might want to read it.", as she hands the paper to Hermione. Draco leans over Hermione's shoulder to read the article with her. "What another law Draco fumes! They are going to make us have kids as soon as we get married, first they tell us we have a year and now they stop all, Hermione starts giggling. "What are you giggling about," Hermione gets very red, "Draco they can stop us from using Magical Spells, but there is still Muggle ways, they can't stop that."

"Oh, Draco smiles, "yeah you're right they can't."

"We should probably start getting ready to head to the Burrow," Narcissa speaks up. "We are supposed to be there by 6:00 for dinner and for all of you to floo back to school."

"Hermione walks up to their room to gather everything up to head back to school, Draco turns her to him, "How did you get so smart, he asks? "What Draco Malfoy admits that Hermione Granger is smart?"

Draco snickers, "yep I'm admitting it, I'm glad you're a muggle too otherwise we wouldn't have Muggle goodies to keep us from having kids before we are ready."

Hermione smiles she's sure Draco won't like the muggle goodies but, she doesn't want to be pregnant till the last possible moment, she wants time to work on their marriage first.

"Ok Mr. Malfoy get your stuff gathered up so we can head to the Burrow."

Draco smiles, "I wonder how Potty and little Red made out last night."

Hermione looks over and Draco he has a really funny look on his face, "What are you planning on doing? I really don't like that look on your face."

"Oh nothing I just wondered how they made out," he smirks and thinks about how he's going to kid Potty.

"Draco, Hermione, Nacissa calls as she passes their door, it's time to leave."

Soon, The Malfoy's and Hermione are stepping out of the floo at the Burrow.

"Good day to you Molly", Narcissa smiles as she steps out and brushes the soot from her dress.

"Oh good day to you Narcissa, thank you so much for sending your house elves over to help me fix dinner. "

"It's the least I could do after all you have had all of us all weekend."

"Oh I've enjoyed every minute of it. I just can't believe my little girl is married and soon my Hermione and Ron will be married. And Fred, George, Angelina and Kate informed me last night that they want to be married the weekend after Ron. I really can't believe that all my children will be married by the end of next year. Well all but Charlie that is, I guess its good he lives in Romania now he's not subjected to our laws."

"You know Molly it's amazing how happy are children are with all they have went through the last few years. But, they truly seem happy, I just hope that they continue to be happy."

Molly looks at Narcissa, I take it you read the paper this morning about the new law."

"Yes, I have to say though Hermione brought up a good point. The ministry can't control them from using Muggle means of birth control."

"Oh that darling girl of mine I would have never thought of that. I hope she shares it with rest of the couples, I think I'll mention it to her. I really would like to see our children have a little chance to grow up before they are expected to deal with the responsibilities of children."

Both ladies nod their heads and look around. "Now where did that lot get to Molly asks? I think they got tired of us Narcissa smiles.

Everyone is sitting under the canopy that's still up from the wedding talking, Draco looks at his watch, "Potty better get back soon or we aren't going to have time to eat dinner and floo back to Hogwarts." Just as he finishes his sentence Ron's stomach give a big growl. Everyone laughs and laughs some more, "Hey what's so funny Harry and Ginny ask."

Ron looks up, "It's about time you guys made it back we are hungry." And everyone breaks into laughter again.

Hermione finally dries her eyes, "Draco had just said you guys needed to get back so we had time to eat and floo back. Ron's stomach growled just as Draco finished so we were all laughing."

Ginny and Harry start laughing. "Ron's stomach is our own personal clock, Ginny laughs, well if it's any consolation Ron, mom and Narcissa are on their way with food."

Dinner was a happy affair with lots of joking and teasing of Ginny and Harry and some for Hermione and Draco since they were the next two to marry. Before they realized it Molly is hurrying them all up to head back to Hogswart before they end up being late to return.

One by one they floo into the teachers lounge at Hogswart, Blaise Luna, Hannah, Neveille, Ron, Lavender finally Draco floos in. "Good evening Professor Snape" he says, evening Draco, soon Hermione steps out, Miss Granger he drawls. Good evening Professor she answers. Ginny almost steps on Hermione as she steps out of the floo, Snape looks at her, you were almost late MissWeasley, "It's Mrs. Potter now Professor Snape, Ginny answers. Snape looks up, Mrs. Potter, and Mr. Potter you are late! He sneers.

Draco nudges Hermione and looks towards Ginny and Harry then the door, Hermione grabs both of them and hurries them to the door before anything can be said. As the door closes Draco smirks, "Serverus you know you don't have to be an ass all the time."

"Draco you might be my God son but I will not take you talking to me like that."

"Well then lay off Potty and Red they were only ½ a second late and if I'd let them floo through first I would have been the one that was late."

"What Draco Malfoy is standing up for the boy who lived, be still my heart I can't believe what I'm hearing. Draco return to your apartment, and do not talk to me like this again, Do I make my self clear?"

"Oh yes, Serverus you make yourself perfectly clear." With that Draco turns on his heels and walks out the door.

Hermione, Harry and Ginny are waiting right out side the door. "Thanks Malfoy, Harry says. "No problem I should have let the two of you go first, and then he wouldn't have said anything to me being late."

"Ok let's get up to the apartment I don't know about the rest of you but I still have a ton of assignments to finish up, Hermione groans.

Soon all the room mates are in the common room trying to find at least an equal balance of done and undone homework. Slowly the couples head to bed till the only ones left were Blaise and Luna and Hermione and Draco. Draco looks down to where Hermione is sitting and realizes she is sound asleep.

Draco looks at Blaise and smiles, he starts gathering up all of their stuff and packing it up in the bags. Then he lifts Hermione up in his arms. "Quietly saying goodnight to Luna and Blaise he carries Hermione up stairs. He gently lays her on her bed then went back to the hall and flipped his wand Accio book bags and the bags blew up to him.

He went back into the room and got ready for bed, then feeling that he shouldn't leave Hermione in her clothes he undresses her down to her panties and bra and settles her under the covers. "Slowly he sits on the side of her bed and pushes her hair away from her face, he leans over kisses her lips and quietly says I love you. Then returns to his bed, turns out the light and falls asleep.
