A/N: So sorry this chapter took so long to get on, bit I promise I'm just getting to the good stuff.

Narcissa is not dead, only Death Eaters were killed, and she was just married to one.

I also promise that this is a Draco and Hermione HARD R, just give me time!

Believe me when I hit the Hard R you'll think I'm disgusting, but that's too bad for you, you're going to have to wait.

----

Sirius' and Narcissa's wedding went off with out a hitch.

The only people who had been invited to the wedding had been Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Remus Lupin and Professor Snape.

Hermione was happy that she got the chance to catch up with her favorite DADA teacher.

Remus was now working with other researchers on how to cure incurable diseases.

Hermione was also happy that she was one of the few people who had witnessed the bond between the new Black family.

Narcissa had sold Malfoy Manor and donated the money to St. Mungo's hospital.

So now the Black family is starting a brand new life with the money Sirius had gotten from the ministry as a form of apology for sending an innocent man to Azkaban prison. The former Minister of Magic had been forced to resign, and now the new Minister was none other then Arthur Weasley.

Hermione wondered if Mr. or Mrs. Weasley even knew what an asshole of a son they had.

For the past few weeks Ron had been catching her in the hallways.

First time all that had happened was that he passed her by knocking her with his shoulder making her almost fall over.

The second and so on time he had grabbed her upper arm forcing her against the hard stone wall. He would whisper stuff in her ears like "I'm going get you" or even "I hope you don't forget the promise I made you."

Hermione didn't tell anyone, she was sure she could deal with her own problems.

Spending time with Harry, Draco and Sirius had been a great way to spend time with people and have their security without them knowing they were protecting her.

Actually what scared Hermione the most was how safe she felt when she was with Draco.

Today was the day that Dumbledore was going to introduce Draco and Sirius as father and son.

She could feel how anxious Draco was; Sirius seemed to be on some sort of drug because all he did since he married Narcissa was smile.

After Dumbledore made the announcement everyone seemed to be in a trance, the whole hall was divided between looking at either Draco or Sirius.

Harry and Hermione had worked it out earlier that if the student body reacted like this that they were going to stand up and cheer, hoping that they could take some of the focus off Draco and Sirius.

They were both surprised when everybody else started clapping and offering their congratulations to the two men.

There were only a few who didn't clap. Those few Slytherins who had lost their parents after Wormtail confessed were among them. Ron didn't clap he just sat there.

Hermione didn't notice that there were two other people who didn't clap.

Once everyone had calmed down, people finished their meal and went to their common rooms. There was a Qudditch game this afternoon between Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw.

It's not that Hermione didn't like Qudditch, it's just that she had better ways to spend her time.

So Hermione had chosen to lead a study group for those poor few desperate souls who really needed to get their marks up.

Hermione was surprised how many people actually showed up. There was Seamus, Dean, Neville, Hannah, Terry, Padma and Draco?

Damn why wasn't he at the Qudditch game, how was she supposed to concentrate with him around?

What the hell was Draco doing here, he was the second smartest student!

Damn it had been difficult not to stare at him when they were spending time with Sirius and Harry.

Sometimes in the great hall or in classes Hermione would look up and see Draco staring at her and all that bastard did was give her a lopsided grin.

The thing that really pissed Hermione off was the fact that he always caught her when she was staring at him. He'd raise an eyebrow and Hermione would duck her head blushing, and every time she blushed he'd laugh at her.

Was it a game for him? See how many times he could make Granger Blush?!

The first time Hermione had seen his eyes she'd been blown away at how hot he looked. It had to be illegal to look that hot! Hermione was happy to find that no one noticed his change. She felt that if any of the girls noticed how sexy he looked that it wouldn't matter if you were a Gryfindor or a Huffelpuff everyone would be drooling over the bad ass Slytherin.

The study group went rather well, as Hermione thought afterwards as she was packing up to leave. Everyone had been surprised when Draco had spent time with Neville helping him on his Potions essay. After that everybody had warmed up to Draco quite nicely.

Harry had came about ten minutes ago to tell everyone that Huffelpuff had won 210 to 190.

The study group had broken up after that, the few Huffelpuff's that had been studying had wanted to get back so that they could celebrate with their house.

Gathering up her book bag after putting away the few books that the study group had used, Hermione made her way to her room.

Leaving the Library, Hermione was surprised to see Draco waiting for her.

"Can I walk you to your room?"

A/N: sorry another big cliff, but I'll try to have the next chapter on tomorrow.

Please continue to R/R.
