Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter but I do own this story and the new characters.

A.N.- Thanks for all the reviews I love them! Well Draco is finally going to act on his thoughts for his future and Harry has a plan too. Let's find out what is going on now! Enjoy!

Chapter 16: The Ring

"Well, Mr. Malfoy, this is an odd request I must say. Why would you come and ask me this?" asked Dumbledore as he looked at the young man sitting in front of his office desk.

"Because I really need to know. I have plans to follow this and I need to know what you think before I proceed with my plans. So is it okay?" asked a patient Draco.

"Yes it is a great idea. My best wishes to you," said Dumbledore as Draco got up to leave.

"Thank you Professor. Well I need to go, the train for Hogsmeade is about to leave," said Draco as he left Dumbledore's office. After he was walking down the hall only a few minutes he bumped into Hawk.

"Hey baby, why were you in Dumbledore's office?" asked Hawk as she hung on Draco's arm as they walked to the train that was taking them to Hogsmeade.

"I just had to ask him something about my future. Come on the train is about to leave," said Draco as he moved her onto the train following Harry and Hermione.

---Later that day in Hogsmeade---

"Hey Harry, what about this one?" asked Draco as he showed him another engagement ring. It had a white-gold band with small diamonds all around and a bigger one in the center.

"It is nice but you really shouldn't ask me, you should think about what she would like. I can help a little but you have to pick it out, mate," advised Harry as he was looking around for himself too. Draco was having a hard time picking out the ring he wanted. It was a good thing that Hermione took Hawk on a shopping spree that would probably take a few hours. They would meet the girls latter at the Three Broomsticks at three and it was now two. He had one more hour to pick out the perfect ring for his love.

Suddenly he saw it! He knew that that was the one! It was a fourteen karate gold band with a diamond in the middle and a ruby and emerald on either side. That was the perfect engagement ring because it signified what he was truly doing; he was joining Gryffindor, the ruby, and Slytherin, the emerald, in something as beautiful as marriage, the diamond. He knew Hawk would love it. Now all he had to do was find the wedding ring. Then right next to it he saw a band similar to the ring he just picked out. It was white gold with two rows of jewels. It had a small diamond in the center with alternating rubies and emeralds on each row and a place to slide the engagement ring in the center. Hawk would truly love this, and him.

Having made his decision, Draco paid for the rings. He waited for Harry to make his purchase. Harry also had gotten a ring but Draco didn't know what for but he did have an idea who it was for. They left together and headed for the Three Broomsticks to wait for the girls.

---In Some Department Store in Hogsmeade---

"Hey Mione, do you think Draco would love this?" asked Hawk as she modeled some nightgowns for Hermione. They had been doing this off and on for the past hour, most of their Christmas shopping done. Now they were shopping for themselves and for fun.

"Well he definitely have a hard time holding back with that outfit," commented Hermione as she eyed what her best friend had picked out. It was a matching lace bra and panties set that were both black and very low cut. The straps of the bra were pure lace and the bra itself was nearly all mesh except for the very middle of the cup. She had picked out a mesh nightgown to go on top. It too was black and only went to her knees and had no straps. Hermione knew that Draco would kill to see his girlfriend in that!

"My thoughts exactly. Well too bad he won't see it. Help me find a black robe to go on top and I can get it. At least I will have something to wear at Draco's house this Christmas. Oh and we better hurry, it is almost three," said Hawk as she looked threw some robes and looked at a clock. She picked out a silk black, full length robe and purchased the whole set and the girls head off to the Three Broomsticks talking about what their boyfriends would do if they saw any of the stuff they had tired on today. They walked into the pub and up to their boyfriends still talking about it.

"What about that peach set you tired on, Mione? How long do you think Harry could last?" asked Hawk as she and Hermione set their bags down, ordered butterbeers, and sat beside each other but in between the boys.

"Oh I would say about ten minutes but that would be cake compared to what Draco would be going through if you sprang that black set on him. He wouldn't even last ten seconds!" said Hermione eyeing the boys.

"Which on?" asked Hawk with an amused look on her face.

"Harry,"

"No, which set? I had three that color remember?" Hawk asked again this time glancing over at Draco to see his expression.

"The last one. You can still pull it off you know," hinted Hermione as she got an evil glint in her eye.

"I know but I think I will save it for a little bit of torture if needed," commented Hawk as she laughed at the boys very confused faces. They had no idea what their girlfriends were talking about.

"May I ask what it is that you are saving for torture and why?" asked Draco with a smirk. He was thinking of what it could be that Hawk would get for torture. All she had to do was be sad and Draco would melt in a heartbeat. She had him hooked, lined, and sinker and he liked it.

"My thoughts exactly," added Harry as he brought Hermione closer to him with what looked like a cross between an evil smirk and a bad boy one, the one that Draco nearly always has on his face.

"Well we can't tell you. The only way you would ever find out would be if you married us," said Hermione before Harry started making out with her. After a few minutes Harry broke off and said, "Funny little circumstances."

"Yeah funny," said Draco as he held Hawk from behind. She just leaned into him and relaxed there. He knew she loved it when he did that to her. He knew she felt protected. They just sat there for a while. Draco only liked to make out in public if only it was a couple of seconds or to show everyone that Hawk was his. Other than that, he and Hawk only made out in private.

The rest of the day past as happily as it had started. They were all getting very excited about the Christmas break. Especially Draco. He could not wait to show Hawk off to his mother. Hawk, though, was getting exceedingly nervous about meeting Draco's mother. She spent days making sure she had everything and practicing her greetings. In fact Draco caught her doing this one time and tired to reassure her.

"Don't worry, mother will absolutely adore you. She never did like any of my old girlfriends and you are nothing like them. Your perfect. Just relax and be yourself," said Draco as he held her the way she loved, hoping it would help. He gave her a kiss on the base of her neck and felt her shiver with pleasure. He knew all her soft and/or tickle spots and knew just how to make her feel better and this was proven when Hawk sighed and nodded at him. She was unable to say anything at the moment because she was nearly completely spent from all her worrying. She turned around in Draco's arms and gave him a long kiss.

"I'll try," and with that she laid her head on Draco's shoulder. He knew that she might fall asleep so he moved her over to her bed and laid her down before he got in too. They spent the night in each other's arms, knowing that the next day would bring the train ride home and the meeting of future mother and daughter in law.

A.N.- Well, thanks for being patient! I know it has been a bit and I'm sorry but it is getting harder and harder to get chapters up just a quickly as I have in the past so bare with me. Well, now both Hawk and Draco have something for each other but Hawk can't use hers unless she and Draco get married. Oh and what did Harry get and who is it for? And how is Draco's mother going to react to Hawk when they finally meet? These questions and maybe more will be answered in the following chapters coming soon! So stay in touch, in tune, whatever you want to call coming back for more! Choa!!!!!
