Chapter 12
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except the plot.
Hermione woke slowly the next morning. Draco was still sleeping and Hermione slipped quietly out of his grasp. She walked into the bathroom and locked the door. She threw her clothes on the floor and got into the shower.
~Hermione's POV~
My body was sore from the physical and magical (i guess you could call it that) abuse. There was a scar over my left eye and bruises all over my body. I stepped into the shower and let the warm water soothe my sores. After about twenty minutes I stepped out and sighed. I dried myself off and put on some dark jean shorts and a red halter. I walked out of the bathroom and Draco was sitting on the bed, eyes half closed, swaying slightly.
~Draco's POV~
I heard the door open and sat up. Hermione walked out, but I was too tired to notice how nice she looked today. "Draco sweetheart, it's only 6:43, go back to sleep," I heard her say. I felt myself lay down and Hermione lay next to me. I felt her lips on mine, when she pulled away, I mumbled something to her. "I love you too Draco," she said. After one last kiss, I was asleep.
~Normal POV~
After Draco fell asleep, Hermione got out of bed and went downstairs. The living room showed no sign that Lucius Malfoy came in the night and tried to kill Hermione. Hermione sighed and walked into the kitchen and started to make breakfast.
One by one, the kids came in and sat at the table, eating their breakfast. Hermione hadn't told them yet, but Lilly, Jason, Stephen, Rebecca, Sean, Heather, Cody, and Stephanie were all being adopted that day by a magical family; the Johnsons. "Amy, Corey, go and wake daddy up," Hermione said.
The two kids got up and ran upstairs. Hermione told the other kids they were being adopted, but they were all being adopted together. "By you and Draco?" Jason asked. Hermione shook her head, "No, by a young lovely couple who can't have kids of their own." Corey and Amy then ran into the room, Draco walked slowly into the kitchen, obviously still half asleep.
He sat down next to Hermione and put his head in his arms. "C'mon kids," Hermione said, "let's go and watch Finding Nemo." The kids grinned and bolted into the living room. "Draco Hun, you have to come too," Hermione said. Draco lifted his head and stood up. He walked into the living room and lay down on the couch. Hermione started the movie and laid down next to Draco.
~Hermione's POV~
Draco wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. He kissed my neck, and about thirty minutes into the movie, he was asleep. This had to be one of my favorite movies, I giggled at some parts and laughed at others, surprisingly I didn't wake Draco up.
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do we swim, swim, swim," I said softly to myself as I fell asleep. What seemed like twenty minutes, but was actually about two hours, I felt someone tugging on my arm and I slowly opened my eyes.
"The Johnsons are here Moine," Jason said. I looked around and saw a couple standing just behind Jason. I blushed and sat up slowly removing Draco's arms from around my waist. "Sorry, must've fallen asleep during the movie," I said. "It's quite all right," Mrs. Johnson said. "Well you chose eight of the liveliest kids alive," I said. Mr. Johnson chuckled, "I'm sure we can handle them."
"Sit, please," I said. The Johnsons sat down. "Is he your husband?" Mrs. Johnson asked, looking at Draco. "Almost," I said, "this is my fiancé, Draco." I shook Draco softly. "Draco, get up," I said. Draco blinked and sat up, he wrapped his arms around my waist and smirked, the smirk that I hadn't seen since our day's at school.
"Draco, this is Mary and Tom Johnson, they're here to adopt the kids," I told him. "Hello," Draco said, momentarily removing his arms from around my waist and shaking hands with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, "I'm Draco Malfoy, Moine's fiancé." Mr. and Mrs. Johnson smiled. Draco wrapped his arms back around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.
We talked for a little while longer until they said they had to go. The rest of the adoption papers were signed. I said my hard goodbyes to the eight kids I had grown to love and watched them drive off with a new family.
~Draco's POV~
"What's wrong Love?" I asked Hermione. "I'll miss them," she said. I pulled her close and kissed her head. "I know you will," I said softly. At that moment, none other then the little red-head Weasel popped in. "Ginny!" Hermione cried. She ran from my grasp and pulled the younger girl into a hug. "C'mon Moine," Ginny said, "We gotta go."
"To where?" Hermione asked. "Diagon Alley," Ginny replied. Hermione nodded and got Corey and Amy ready. "Draco love, you have the house to yourself today," Hermione said, "please try not to burn it down." Hermione smirked. 'Hey! That's my smirk!' I thought to myself, 'Oh well, must've got it from me.'
"I wouldn't do anything of the sort," I said. I gave Hermione a deep kissed and watched as her, Ginny, Corey, and Amy left the house for Diagon Alley. I turned on the TV, the Yankee Red sox game was on. I collapsed onto the couch, soon falling asleep.
