A/N: Okay sorry for not updating yesterday got really distracted well here is the next chappie hope like don't forget to review please.


Draco stood in the common room waiting for Hermione. He looked down at the pendent she had given him that morning it had turned a dull gold color but it returned to silver just as quickly as he heard Hermione enter they common room. He looked up and starred in awe. 'God she looks gorgeous' he thought as he watched her cross the room.

"You know Draco it is not polite to stare." She said amusingly when she only about 2 feet away. Her shoes had raised her to a good 5'9' but he still toward over her at 6'1'

"You look beautiful," Draco said once he found his voice, "are you ready to go?" He asked offering her his hand. His pendent turned gold for millisecond before returning to its original state when she took his hand. They made their way out toward they Great Hall hands intertwined.
When they entered the Great Hall they didn't pay attention to the whispers and stares that flooded the room when they entered. Instead they focused on the table where a shocked Harry and Ron sat with their dates Ginny and Lavender. Draco pulled out the chair for Hermione and she turned to him before he sat down.

"Draco could you go and get me something to drink please. I think I need to talk to them alone for a few minutes."

"Sure," he kissed her forehead causing, if it was possible, Harry and Ron's jaws to drop more, "I'll be back in a few." He turned and weaved his way through the crowed

"Harry, Ron, before you say anything hear me out. Draco really cares about me and I really care about him so please don't be mad. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Hermione said in one rushed breath. She sat and watch them look at each other than at her trying to process what she had just said. "Please say something"

"Hermione we aren't mad just shocked is all. And we don't want you to get hurt." Harry said

"Yeah I mean of all people why Malfoy?" Ron added with a sigh.

"Because I say a different side of him and I like that side. You two just trust me and my judgment."

"Okay 'Mione but we don't have to be all buddy buddy friends with him right?" Ron asked after a few minutes of pondering.

"No," Hermione said with a laugh at the weight that had been lifted off her shoulders, "just try and be civil please."

"Fine." Draco said sitting down next to Hermione, "They wouldn't let me get anything they said the feast would be starting soon."

"Oh, okay thank you any way though." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and turned to talk to Ginny and Lavender leaving the boys to an uncomfortable silence. After a few minutes they found a level ground for conversation... Quidditch. Once they finished their feast Dumbledore cleared the dance floor and stood for an announcement.

"I know that you are all wondering what band we have gotten for tonight. Well the lead singer of this band came to me and asked if she could surprise one of our students for Christmas." A murmur of excitement rose as everyone tried to figure out who he was talking about. "She is a friend of the family of our Headboy" all eyes were turned toward the shocked Draco. He looked over at Hermione who seemed just as shocked as him; they both turned to look at Dumbledore. "It is my great pleasure to introduced. Evanescence." The Hall erupted in shouts as the band took the stage, but none were as excited as Hermione who was jumping up and down next to a laughing Draco. A/N: I would total be doing that I L.O.V.E. Evanescence they are that greatest band. In my opinion
They spent the rest of the night dancing and having a blast with their friends. They didn't even notice that a certain pug faced Slytherin girl had left shortly after that feast. Draco and Hermione were the last to leave because he wanted to thank Amy for her present and introduce her to Hermione. When they finally reached the common room Hermione gave him a kiss good night and went to bed.
Draco sat on the couch after Hermione left he wasn't remotely tired. All he could think about was her, the way she walk, the way laughed, her smile, everything about her...' I love her, more than anything I can't imagine life without her now that I have her.' Draco was snapped out of his thoughts by the whooshing green flames in the fireplace. Draco's heart jumped to his throat when he saw who was standing in front of him.

"Father," Draco stated clearing his face of all emotion, "they floo powder network is not connected to Hogwarts why are you here?"

"Thought you would get away with it did you?" Lucius said ignoring his son's question.

"Get away with what?" Draco put on a confused look.

"Don't lie to me Draco! I know about your little mudblood," Draco felt the anger boiling inside him, "Yes Miss Parkinson owled me this evening telling me about you and that filthy mudblood."

"DON'T call her that she is more a witch than you are a wizard!" A/N: I know cliché but it gets the point across.

"Your going to regret that out burst Draco. Crucio!" pain surged through Draco's whole body as he fell to the ground holding back the scream. 'You can't scream Draco you'll bring Hermione down and Lucius can't see her'


"OW!!" Hermione sat bolt upright it felt like a hot coal had been pressed against her chest. She looked down at the pendent and saw it was glowing a bright red. 'OH NO' she thought as she grabbed her wand of her nightstand and bolted down the stairs. When She reached the bottom stair she saw the most horrible sight. Lucius Malfoy wand pointed at a twitching Draco. "EXPELLIARMUS!" she cried before Lucius noticed she was standing there. He flew across the room hitting the wall behind him his wand flying away from him. He started to get up

"You little-"

"Stupefy" and he fell forward. Hermione bond him in rope from her wand and levitated his and Draco's unconscious form to the Hospital Wing.


Draco woke up and looked blurry around him. He figured out he was in the Hospital Wing but couldn't remember how he had gotten there. When his eyes became focused he noticed Hermione's head on his bed her hand gripping his. She opened her eyes as she felt him start to move.

"Your awake. How are you feeling?" she asked lifting her head.

"Fine, how long have I been out?" He struggled to sit up

"About 3 days," She got up and sat down on the bed next him resting her head on his shoulder, "I was starting to think you would never wake up. Despite the fact that Madam Pomfrey said you would." They both laughed and talked for another hour before Draco remembered why he was there in the first place.

"Hermione, where is my dad?" he asked causing her to sadden a little.

"In Azkaban, he got a life sentence for using the Cruciatus curse on you, I'm sorry"

"Sorry?! About what I'm glad, he deserved it. I'm just glad nothing happened to you. Hermione you know I love you and I would never let anything happened to you." He said as he pulled her closer.

"Did you mean that?" she asked looking him in the eye

"Of course I would never let anyone hu-"

"No the part were you said you love me. Do you really love me?"

"Yes, Hermione Granger I love you." He said giving her a small kiss.

"Good because I love you too."

(Back to Now)

"Then we got married-" Draco said looking down at the small girl

"-And had you." Hermione interjected.

"And lived happily ever after. Right Daddy?" Alexandra asked looking at him for approval.

"Hopefully Alex," he said kissing her forehead, "Now Sarah's birthday party is tomorrow so got to sleep. We have to help uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny set up." The little girl curled up closer to her mother and fell asleep quickly. Draco gave his wife a soft kiss. "I love." He said smiling.

"I love you too."
