Chapter Ten

Disclaimer: Duh I own nothing! Pretty damn obvious hey?!

Draco surprisingly enough woke up before Hermione giving him time to think. I don't think I could ever hide this thing we have but what if ... the slytherins may take it badly and what about potty and the weasel. No mustn't think like that (shudder) Harry and Ron may take it badly. After arguing with himself for a half hour Draco decided to go up and discuss his plan with Hermione so he walked up her staircase and crept stealthily into her room.

He saw her lying in bed fast asleep with the smallest hint of a smile on her face. Grinning like the cat that caught the canary he slid in beside her and wrapped his strong sinewy arms around her tiny waist and nuzzled his face into her neck inhaling her sweet scent. Hermione murmured contentedly in her sleep and subconsciously snuggled deeper into Draco`s arms. They were both asleep soon after.

About an hour later Hermione fluttered awake and felt a warm heat encircling her. Glancing down she saw a pair of arms turning around within their confines she faced Draco smiling at his handsome face. Blonde lashes creating half moon crescents against his cheeks eyelids fluttering softly as her stirred, he smiled when he saw Hermione. "I came in to talk to you but I got a bit distracted then fell asleep,'' explained Draco. "What did you want to talk about," questioned Hermione sleepily. "You don't have a problem with this," Exclaimed Draco. "It's a nice way to wake up actually," Hermione said giggling. "Is that so Miss Granger," Draco retorted cocking an eyebrow imitating Snape while tightening his grip on her. Hermione kissed him squarely on the lips and told him fiercely, "if you ever talk like Snape again you will never be kissed by me again!" Draco smiled and said once again like Snape, "Stop being an insufferable know-it-all Miss Granger," and kissed her passionately Hermione tried to say something but gave in to passion and deepened the kiss. After they broke away Draco whispered softly in her ear, "I love you so much." Hermione smiled crazily and whispered softly, "I love you the most!" "That's what I wanted to talk to you about baby. I want to make our relationship open I don't want to hide what we have," whispered Draco. "So do I," smiled Hermione, "I, Hermione Granger, love the sexiest most gorgeous guy in all of England, Draco Malfoy," yelled Hermione at the top of her lungs so the sound vibrated off the walls. "Oh my god! Oh my god! Finally you guys get together! Woohoo," Screamed Faith bouncing into the room then onto the bed landing squarely next to Hermione facing the couple. "You cool with this Fai because you know how important you're to me," Said Draco. "To us," corrected Hermione, "you're like a sister to me Faith." "Marriage? So soon," laughed Draco. "Shut-up you prat," laughed Hermione. "Well just so you guys know I am beyond happy for you guys and I know mum will be too," Faith said sincerely, "oh and Balizers and Pans are coming up like super duper soon to see ya!"

"Thanks Faith," said Draco, "Hermione do you wish to join me and visit Malfoy Manor," "Sure, I can't wait to meet your mum," exclaimed Hermione. "Well I had better go D, Mione. And you guys better change, company's coming," said Faith with a suggestive wink.

After she walked out the portrait hole Draco and Hermione lazed around in bed for a few more minutes until Hermione said in a forceful no-nonsense tone, "she's right Draco it wouldn't look good to Blaise and Pansy if we stumble out of my room half dressed." "True but can I just lie here for a few more minutes," begged Draco with puppy eyes. Hermione laughed into his face and retorted, "Fine, but I'm getting dressed. I sure as hell don't want Blaise and Pansy to see my in my underwear" and with that said she peeled back the covers and laugh when she saw Draco`s boxers funny novelty one's with the caption- Mr Dick likes a tug under a cartoon with a man in the bathtub playing with a tug boat. "You think they're funny do you," said Draco amused, "well I never imagined you to be the type to wear underwear with cartoon characters on them." Sure enough Hermione was wearing a Winnie the Pooh bra and Panties set. Hermione poked her tongue out at him and rolled out of bed over to her closet and pulling on her favourite jeans and a soft cashmere jumper of Draco`s which he had lent her a week ago. "Ok you've had enough of a lie in now march you're cute little butt into your room and get dressed Blaise and Pansy will be here and second now," said Hermione. "Fine," pouted Draco pausing on his way out to gently brush his lips against hers.

A couple of moments later Draco was on the couch with Hermione on his lap and her legs resting on the other couch cushions when suddenly the portrait opened and Blaise and Pansy walked in and exclaimed in unison, "Oh my god it's true! We're so happy for you guys." "Thanks guys your opinions mean a lot to us we weren't sure whether to go public with this but we don't want to hide it," Hermione said. "That's ok but why did you guys think to hide it," questioned Pansy. "Slytherin reactions mostly as well as Harry and Ronald," explained Draco. "The Slytherins should be fine they really don't care about anyone at the moment especially since this third year started dating a girl from HufflePuff," reassured Blaise. "We better go Blaise. Sorry to come and go so quickly but we took to long getting here and are supposed to be going to the Zambini`s Townhouse,'' Explained Pansy. "No that's fine we were thinking of going over to the manor for the rest of the week end hopefully when we get back Faith will have spread it around all over Hogwarts with her big mouth," laughed Draco, "less work for us!" "Alright then see you guys on Monday and don't do anything we wouldn't," exclaimed Blaise mischievously.

Once Blaise and Pansy were out of their common room Hermione got up as did Draco who pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered into her ear huskily, "pack an overnight bag sweetie so we can floo over to the manor," "Isn't it a bit short notice for your mum I mean the guest bedroom mightn't be made up?" "Baby it will be and you can stay in my room heaven knows it's big enough" "But your mum! Surely she'll frown upon it" "Nah she's heard all about Hermione Granger and she trusts me not to do that kinda stuff" "Draco Malfoy, alleged sex god not up to any funny business" "Alleged and besides if you want to wait I'll wait along side with you" "Oh Draco" Hermione said before giving him a swift kiss and dragging him up to her room to help her decide what to bring.
