***First chapter's not too long, but I hope to get the chapters longer afterword.***

Sometimes, when he's drifting between sleep, and that hazy subconscious state, he squeezes his eyes shut tight, hoping to see her face.......some memory of the time he spent with her. Tonight, he is not disappointed, and he relishes the picture of her, letting himself fall into the memory.

She's wearing a dress. He knows she only wore it to please him, and the knowledge gives him an odd sort of thrill he has never felt before her. He sits in front of her taking in the picture before him. She notices him staring and laughs.

"Are you going to stare all day?" She asks, following the question up with a stream of giggles. He shakes his head and takes her hand.

"Forever."

She stops laughing and her eyes take on the serious look she usually saved for work or study.

"I love you Draco."

"I love you too, Hermione."

Draco leaned in to kiss her, but was startled awake by someone shaking him. A pale face framed with red curls leaned over him.

"Darling, can you get me some water?"

Draco sighed and got to his feet. Ever since she got pregnant his wife had become more and more irritating and demanding.

"Oh , and some chocolate wafers with pickles as well." She called from behind. Draco grimaced, and let out another sigh thinking about yet another night spent sleeping with crumbs, because she didn't want the house elves in the room until she was gone.

"Did you hear me Draco?"

"Yes Ginny, I heard you."

***hmm......could have ended it elsewhere but, whatever. Please R&R***
