A/N: Sorry it's been like forever since I've updated, but I've had a mad
case of writer's block, but KivaidensGirl helped me with that, this whole
chapter was her idea! You should thank her by reading her stories, or you
should do it because they're really really good!
P.S: My other beta Courtney wanted to make an appearance, and since she is my beta, I said of course. Hope you like!
When Draco said it only gets better from here he meant it! Every night, there was a new surprise. He took her to see her favorite show in the theater, how he knew she hadn't the slightest idea. They went out to eat every night and at a different place, each time getting better and better. Hermione kept forgetting Harry more and more, and she knew that was a very bad thing, but being with Draco was easy, she didn't have to work at it like she did with Harry, it simply came natural to her.
It was coming to there final days of their holiday break, and today was none other than Christmas Eve. Journal, This is the day, I will make her mine forever. I love her, and it's a very scary thought, but I have to tell her, I have to show her, and I plan on doing it with perfection. I have to set up the balcony for our Christmas Dinner.
Hermione was laying on Draco's bed and thinking about how in the world she got here.
December 24th, This is so major crazy. I lied to Harry, Ron, and Ginny, to be with Draco??? He's not the same person anymore, they'll never see that, but I have! I'll just catch hell from them. Yeah I can see it now...
"Ron, Ginny, I'm leaving Harry because I'm on love with Draco Malfoy"
Ron: "What!?!"
Ginny: "He is hot, isn't he, but what about Harry?"
"Harry, for the past month I've been falling in love with Draco"
Harry: "How could you do this to me...AWWWW"
Okay, so that's not exactly how it would go, Ron wouldn't be so Crabbe and Goyle, and Ginny wouldn't be so Lavender, and Harry wouldn't be so girlie about it, but.... I don't want to think about them, I want to think about Draco. His perfect hair, his stormy gray eyes, his good-tasting lips, his rock chiseled body, I want to drown myself in thought. No, I want to drown myself in him! Hermione
Hours passed and Hermione soon heard a knock on the door and lazily said come in. He was decked out in a black suit, and he looked amazing!
"Where are we going tonight, that you dressed up so much for?" asked Hermione giving him a second look over.
"Not to far, but you will be needing this," he said handing her another box similar to the first one.
She opened it and it was a deep blue dress.
"Turn around?"
"Of course."
"Okay done, zip me."
He grabbed the zipper and slowly pulled it up. Then grabbed her hand and directed her to the balcony door.
"Close your eyes," he said grabbing the door handle, then pulling her outside, "open."
When Hermione opened her eyes she couldn't believe it. The balcony had a candle lit table for two, in the middle of his balcony. The whole thing was covered in small lit tee-lights, it was like a small piece of heaven. And it got better, when they sat down, she looked over and saw what a great view the place had, it over looked the lighted city of Paris, perfectly.
"This is amazing."
When they were finished eating, it was pretty late, and they ended up falling asleep on the floor in front of the fireplace in his living room after talking away most of the night, about the past, and how much had changed.
Draco woke up in the morning finding himself tangled with Hermione. He kissed her forehead, and went out in the early morning to get some fresh air and clear his head. It was very early and it was still relatively dark. He just started to walk the streets, not venturing to far from home, and the sleeping Hermione.
"Misue? My name is Courtney, do you want to have some fun?" A man looking woman asked.
"Yeah, nothing like catching something like Syphilis from a prostitute on Christmas, I'm not interested in your...services." Draco said, then quickly walked in the other direction.
Merlin, that chick was nasty looking...eww Draco thought as the vomit rose in his mouth.
Meanwhile, back at the flat, Hermione had woke up and realized Draco wasn't there, and was suddenly startled by an owl fly down next to her. She grabbed the parcels off of the birds talons, and noticed then immediately as Ron, Ginny, and Harry's gifts. She opened the one from Ginny first and it was a pair of crazy pink hooped earrings, and from Ron she got another book, (he really didn't shop very well!) she took the gifts and the third unwrapped parcel and put them in one of the suit cases she brought. She then walked out to the balcony to enjoy the morning breeze. Then she heard the door open and foot steps to the back of the house.
Draco opened the Arcadia door, carrying something small in his right hand.
Since she had already gotten so much from him, she didn't really expect much, but she knew this would be like the "big" gift. He opened his hand revealing a small white gold ring, which after a second glance she noticed was a serpent wrapped around a green stone.
"It's beautiful," she said as he slid it on her slim finger, "are you marking me Slytherin?"
"Possibly, but if you don't like it, I'd completely understand, since you are so Gryffindor!" he said with a playful expression. She slowly leaned in to kiss him, and he quickly deepened the kiss. Before they knew it they were in his bed room, almost completely undressed. He laid her down gently on the white silk linens that made up his bed.
Their love making was simple, it was peaceful, it was them, all their love rushing through them, it was simply perfect. The way they wanted it to be.
Neither of them needed to speak, nor did they need to acknowledged what that they had just consummated their relationship.
"Draco?"
"Yeah."
"I don't want to have to sneak around anymore." She said snuggling closer to him.
Hope you liked!

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! Amelia
