Hermione turned a page in her book, jotting down her notes. "Are you coming to the game?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, I'll be with Daphne and Pansy." Hermione said, raising her head to kiss him as he passed the back of the couch.
"Awesome, the goal is to get enough points that Harry can not catch up." Draco said.
"You have fun with that." Hermione chuckled. "I will be cheering regardless."
"Love you!" Draco called as he opened the portrait.
"Love you too!" Hermione called back, checking the clock on the wall. With a sigh she got up and filled a glass of water as her alarm went off. She reached around her bag and took out her birth control, taking a pill as the portrait door opened and her friends walked in. "What is that?" Ginny asked as they sat down in the various chairs.
"Birth control," Hermione said, finishing her drink. "It prevents me from getting pregnant."
"Really?" Luna asked, eyes widened.
"Yeah, I just have to take it the same time every day, granted it's only about 85% effective, but it is something." Hermione said, showing her friends her pills before putting it back in her bag. "Come on, we have a Quidditch game to get to." They made their way to the Quidditch pitch and watched the game. Hermione squeezed her hand together as Draco started after the snitch, then screamed loudly as he caught it. "Slytherin has the snitch!" The announcer shout as Hermione ran from the stands and jumped into Draco's arms. "There's a small chance Harry can beat that." Draco said as he kissed her, laughing at the stands cheering.
"Hey mate," Blaise said. "There's a party in the Slytherin common room."
"We'll be there." Hermione said, kissing Draco again. "I'll wait for you after your shower." She told him.
Hermione watched as the last Slytherin team member left the locker room, leaving only Draco. Hermione bit her lip as she entered the locker room to find him pulling off his shirt, the snitch he caught sitting on a shelf in his locker. "Congratulations team captain." Hermione said, wrapping her arms around him.
"Why thank you." He said, turning around and picking her up. "I was expecting you to be waiting for me in the dorm." He said, kissing her.
"I thought about it, but I wanted to surprise you, and we haven't done anything here."
"Oh really?" Draco said, sitting down on the bench behind him. "We might need to fix that." He said, moving to kiss down her neck.
"My thoughts exactly." Hermione said as she rubbed against him, pulling her shirt over her head. Draco smirked as he undid her bra and pulled one of her breasts into his mouth. "We need these pants off." Hermione sighed as she sat up enough for him to shimmy his pants down. Hermione sat down slowly, moaning as he entered her. "Congratulations." Hermione said again as she started moving against him. Draco just hummed as he alternated between her breasts, sucking and nipping each one. Hermione gasped as she picked up speed. Draco grunted as he got up and pulled out of her, making her whimper. "Patience Princess." He said, turning them so she was bent over the bench, he flipped her skirt over, smirking at her bare ass before entering her again earning a moan in response. He started trusting, grunting as he picked up speed. He smacked her ass, almost coming at the moan that came from it. He smacked the other side, which caused both of them to cum in matching moans. "Best prize for winning ever." Draco sighed as he pulled out of her and gave her a kiss.
"Are you ready for your healer qualifications?" Blaise asked as the group sat in the train compartment going back home for the Easter holidays.
"No." Hermione sighed. "I don't feel like I've studied enough."
"You never feel like that yet you always do." Ginny said. "You always do great, so does Draco. If you two fail we will storm the place because then they will be idiots."
"Thanks guys." Hermione said. "At least we have a little more time to study."
"No, we do not actually." Draco said, getting a confused look from Hermione.
"We are going and looking at apartments tomorrow, and then we are looking at wedding venues. Muggle and wizarding for both apartments and venues."
"Oh yeah," Theo said. "You are getting your own place. Neville, Daphne, Pansy, and I are getting house together."
"I still wish you could get married." Ginny sighed. "It's not fair."
"We figured out a way around that." Daphne said. "I am marrying Neville while Pansy marries Theo. That way her parents can not complain about her staying single, and if we want to adopt we have a legal way of doing so, and since we will not be having sex there is no way they can not prove we can not have kids."
"Well, let us know when the wedding is." Hermione said.
"After graduation." Neville stated. "We want to be 'married' when we get the house. That way there are not as many questions."
"Smart." Hermione said with a smile.
Hermione and Draco walked around a muggle apartment. There was not much difference between the muggle and wizarding ones. "Do we really need three bedrooms?" Draco asked.
"Ours, a guest room, and a study." Hermione replied, looking around the kitchen.
"Still seems a little excessive." Draco said. "Why can you not just put a guest bed in the study?"
"Because then I can't get a book if we have a guest over." Hermione replied. "You know how I like my late night reading." She walked back over to Draco who wrapped his arms around her.
"And you know how I like my night time activities with you." He whispered in her ear. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"So what do you think?" She asked. Draco placed his chin on her head and looked around again.
"We can use magic here right?" He asked.
"Of course, you couldn't with Tonks cause you were under age, but as long as there are no muggles we can use magic here."
"Well Misses Malfoy, I think we found our first home." Draco said, kissing her cheek, earning a playful slap from Hermione.
"Don't call me Misses Malfoy." She laughed as they made their way to the apartment office to make plans for after the school year.
Hermione groaned as she rubbed her forehead. She, Draco, Jean, and Narcissa were at the fourth wedding venue in two days. The two mothers could not agree on anything, from the colors to the layout. "Are you sure we can't just elope?" Hermione asked Draco who was rubbing her back.
"No Princess." Draco sighed. "You know that would crush our parents." Hermione looked back at Narcissa and Jean, neither one had even acknowledged the young couple in the last hour.
"We could be studying right now." Hermione groaned. "Mum, Narcissa." She walked up to the mothers who stopped arguing. "Draco and I have to study for the healer qualifications tomorrow, so either make up your minds or we will go and leave you two here arguing." Narcissa and Jean looked at each other. "Well?" Hermione asked after a few minutes of quiet.
"Go study Hermione." Jean said, narrowing her eyes at the Malfoy woman. "This might take a while." Hermione sighed.
"Very well, just let us know what you decide." Hermione said, hugging both women and returning to Draco. "Let's go before they change their minds." Draco chuckled as he and Hermione walked out of the building and apparated to Malfoy Manor.
Hermione nervously paced in the Granger living room. It has been three days since the healer qualifications and she and Draco were told to expect their results today. "Princess." Draco sighed. "Sit down, pacing is not going to make them come quicker." Hermione glared at him. Draco sighed as he caught her arm as she passed him again and pulled her onto his lap. "Princess, breath, the results will be here soon and you know we have gotten positive ones."
"How can you be so sure?" Hermione asked.
"You are the top student of our year, I follow you by one a few points." Draco reminded her. "You are the brightest witch of our year, they will be stupid not to accept us. Now take a deep breath." Hermione took a deep breath. "Good girl." Draco kissed her cheek. They sat like that for a few more minutes before two owls entered the house, each with their own envelope, one labeled Draco Malfoy the other labeled Hermione Granger. The couple got up and opened their respective envelopes. "I got in!" Hermione and Draco said in unison, kissing the other. "I knew you would." Draco told Hermione as he spun her around.
"I have to call mum and dad." Hermione said after he put her down.
"Or we could go upstairs and celebrate." Draco smirked.
"Call parents first, celebrate second." Hermione laughed as she went to the phone and called her parent's office. "Hi it's Hermione," She told the receptionist. "Is one of my parents available? Thank you." She waited a few moments. "Mum, Draco and I got in." She smiled as she listened to Jean. "Thank you mum, we are going to let the Malfoys know." She waited for a little bit longer. "Ok, I'll let them know. Love you." Hermione ended the call before turning to Draco. "She says congratulations and that she and dad will take us and your parents to dinner to celebrate."
"Can we celebrate now?" Draco asked, wrapping his arms around her. Hermione laughed as he picked her up and carried her up the stairs.
The rest of the school year passed without incident. Hermione, Draco, Theo, Blaise, Daphne, Neville, Harry, and Pansy spent most of their time in the library studying. Draco cheered when Harry won, especially since it was by few enough points that Slytherin won the Quidditch cup, naturally Hermione and Draco celebrated the win. The N.E.W.T.s finally came and went, with Hermione panicking along the way. After the N.E.W.T.s were over she relaxed and enjoyed her last few weeks at Hogwarts with her friends, her and Draco making sure they cover every place in the castle they have not gotten to, almost getting caught a few times, laughing like crazy each time. Finally it was time for graduation. The eight graduating friends stood for pictures and cheered as each walked across the stage. "I love you." Draco kissed Hermione before they boarded the same boats they rode to Hogwarts their first year.
"Here's to a happy life." Hermione said, kissing him.
