This I Swear

~+You're there by my side

In every way

I know that you would not forsake me

I give you my life

Would not think twice

Your love is all I need believe me+~

He got up to the sunlight dancing across his face through the beautiful garden window in his bedroom. He looks over and sees Hermione, his Hermione. He smiles sweetly and leans over and kisses her forehead. She is resting her head on his muscular chest and her arms are wrapped around him. Draco continues to smile and strokes her now soft, dark brown wavy hair. 'How did we even fall in love?', he thinks as he lets his eyes graze on her beauty. It had been a year since their graduation from Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She had been offered a scholarship to the most prestigous college in the wizarding world, but she had declined the offer and became a professor at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall had retired since she was now married to Headmaster Dumbledore and Hermione was now the Transfiguration teacher. Draco was also offered a schloarship, but to another wizarding college far away from Hermione, so Albus offered him the position of being the Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor. He happily accepted the offer, but he still got glares from the Potions master once in a while. They were back at the Malfoy Manor because it was the weekend and they had just gotten married a few months back. Draco moves his hands to her face and kisses her gently on the lips and slips out of bed. He puts on his robes and sneaks down into the kitchen.

Hermione wakes up pleasantly, but then quickly realizes that her husband isn't there. She gets up slowly and slips on her night robes and walks downstairs. She is greeted by the smell of breakfast. She peers into the kitchen and sees Draco cooking. She smiles because he is a great cook and she would get to eat his cooking this morning. She walks over to him and puts her arms around his waist and says, "Good morning, Draco."

Draco looks over his shoulder and sees his wife with her arms wrapped around his waist. He kisses her on the lips quickly and says, "Good morning, love." He then turns around and then finishes cooking whatever he is cooking. He grabs two plates and serves it up. He then takes the plate to the dining room table and says, "Breakfast is served." He smiles and sits down after pulling out a chair for Hermione.

Hermione grins and says, "What's this? My favorite?" She says, "You're so sweet, Draco. Thank you." She picks up her fork and starts to eat, savouring each bite.

Draco smiles and starts to eat himself. He had made a Spanish ommeltte, her favorite as he recalled.

~+I may not say it quite as much as I should

When I say I love you darling that means for good

So open up your heart and let me in

And I will love you 'til forever

Until death do us part we'll be together

So take my hand and hold on tight

And we'll get there

This I swear+~

They both finish and walk into the library. Draco and Hermione sit down together in the leather sofa that is in there next to the fire and they sip at their tea. Draco puts his tea down on the coffee table and then takes one of Hermione's petite hands and holds on tight. "Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" Hermione smiles and puts her tea down. She turns around, straddling him. "Yes, everyday you remind me." Draco flashed a grin and hold her against his chest. "Here's another to account for. I love you," he says, while holding her. Hermione plays with his hair and says, "I love you, too."

~+I'm wondering how I ever got by

Without you in my life to guide me

Where ever I go the one thing that's true

Is everything I do I do for you+~

4 years later....

Draco is sitting in his office at his firm. He is an Auror now and Dragon Enterprises is his own privately owned firm. He takes out a quill and writes to Hermione.

Hermione is sitting in her office at her firm. Of course, her husband had his own firm, so why not her own? She is a top Auror and her firm's name is Lion Enterprises. She is quietly working at her case at her desk when a small, white owl flies into her office window and perches itself on the edge of her desk. She pays it a sickle and read the letter:

Hermione,

How's your day going? I'm at work and I'm thinking that we could possibly meet up at lunch time for a cup of coffee, dear? Write back soon, I'm waiting.

Draco

She grins and writes back on a piece of parchment with blue ink. She quickly attaches the letter to the owl and sends it to Draco.

Draco spots his owl coming back. He gives it a treat and opens up the letter. It read:

Draco,

Darling, I'm not as busy, so I think that we can. Meet me at the Cafe Three, it's three blocks down from your firm. I'll meet you there at noon. Love you.

Hermione

Draco smiles and looks forward to his lunch hour.

~+I may not say it half as much as I should

When I say I love you darling that means for good

So open up your heart and let me in

And I will love you 'til forever

Until death do us part we'll be together

So take my hand and hold on tight

And we'll get there

This I swear+~

They meet up in Cafe Three and greet other with kisses. They sit at a table in the corner and order their coffees. "How is work going, love?", Draco asks. "Fine, dearest," she replies. "How's that case going?" Hermione looks down at her black coffee and says, "I'm almost done with the case. We've caught the Death Eaters that murdered those innocent muggles and I have a trial date set for this week." Draco holds her hand in his and says, "You'll do great wrapping up this case. You're the most briliant witch that has ever been discovered in the wizarding world." Hermione blushes and says, "Flattering, Draco." She beamed a smile and then drank her coffee. They talked about this and that and they left the coffee shop hand-in-hand. They part and promise to meet up at the mansion and Draco starts to leave. As he turns around, a black-hooded figure kidnaps Hermione! "Hermione!" He rushes to track the figure down, but is too late. "Shit!" He runs around frantically, trying to find her. He quickly apparates to his firm and tells everyone to track down his wife. He then calls her firm and notifies them of her kidnapping. 'Why the hell is this happening to me?' Draco buries his face his hands. 'Hermione, I'll find you and I'll kill that bastard that took you away from me. I swear.'
