Everything To Fight For

          Hey again! Wow, hasn't it been a while since I've last updated? End of the school year has been so busy, so I haven't had any time though, so I am very sorry. Also, I have done shout outs on another one of my chapters and I am afraid I can not do them often or on every story, so I just added every shout out to everyone who had reviewed and put it on that story, even if you didn't review to that one. Sorry, I have been really busy, but I will do some more shout outs a bit later! Anyways, lets get started with this thing before my whole chapter becomes just me talking.

Disclaimer- Sorry to disappoint, but I am not J.K Rowling, so I do not own Harry Potter, I only own this plot. (Just in case you have short-term memory).

Chapter 9      Draco's Question

          Hermione looked over at Draco and his expression was one of concern. She closed her eyes tightly and bit her lip so hard it started to bleed, so she licked the blood off and looked at him once again.

          He fell back into the soft ground, his white shirt rolled up to his shoulders and blonde hair falling back with his body. He stretched out and looked to the sky. Hermione felt a bit of shock at what he was doing, but then again, Draco was always a man of mystery and you could never really tell what he was thinking.

          "Do you see that?" He asked.

          She looked up to where he was looking. The sky seemed regular to her; blue and clear with white puffy clouds that reminded her of the puffy make-up appliers she would always find in her mothers makeup bag as a little girl.

          "I don't see anything unusual." She said in a tiny voice.

          Draco shifted a lopsided grin from one side of his lips to the other as he shrugged. "Well I didn't think you would see it. At least, do you feel it?"

          All she could feel was the wind around her, and she didn't think he would be talking about a light breeze.

          "Draco, I don't know what you are trying to do but…"

          His lips pressing on hers, pulling her down with him on the grass cut her off. He rolled her over so that he was lying on his front at the side of her, his elbow propping him up and the other hand running through her hair and down her cheek, trailing down her neck and along the side of her body till he stopped at her stomach and held her hip and kissed her for a long time, with sweet and gentle motions.

          "I'm not trying to do anything Hermione; just trying to be with you. What I'm talking about is do you feel what I feel and have felt ever since the day I have met you. God, I only wish I had realized it sooner, Hermione, and it's tearing me apart." He whispered. "I'm trying not to waste anything, but I can't hold what I feel for you in any longer. I could have lost you for god's sake."

          Hermione was silent. She knew he could have lost her. Anything could have happened, and if Victor was as mad as he seemed at that time, he could have murdered her. Draco stared at her and she was puzzled at that moment. She had no clue what he was getting at. Hermione tugged at the little white sundress she was wearing and pulled at her wavy hair.

          "Hermione…" He whispered again, running his lips against her cheek softly. He leaned up and looked her in the eyes; his grey piercing eyes staring back at her intently, so full of emotion.

          Silence followed, as Hermione got lost in his eyes, and he, in hers. Then he spoke softly and paced.

          "I love you."

          Her heart froze. It skipped a beat and thumped in her chest as her stomach lurched and she pulled him on top of her, kissing him passionately.

          "Oh god, Draco. I love you too, you stupid git." She muttered.

          He let out a laugh and kissed her again. Then he stopped and took her hands, pulling her up with him and letting go of her right hand to fish around in his jean pocket.

          "I've been saving something." He whispered.

          He took out a tiny book, just big enough to fit in the palm of his hands. Then he got down on one knee, opened the book and revealed a hollow centre and a small deep blue velvet box with a black bow on it. He put the fake book on he ground and kept a good hold on her left hand. He opened the small box and staring at her was a white-gold ring with what looked like twenty mini diamonds surrounding a black edged stone with green moving swirls deep in its centre.

          "Hermione," Draco said exhaling loudly and taking a deep breath. "Will you do me the great honour," He slid the ring on Hermione's finger, "of marrying me, and becoming Miss Hermione Malfoy."

          Hermione put her right hand to her lips and froze. Would she?

          "Will I ever!" She whispered, kissing his lips softly. Hermione had to admit as he slid his tongue into her mouth, this was the best kiss ever.

          Miss Hermione Malfoy? Who thought we would ever hear the words! Come on people, how sweet is that? Draco can be such a romantic! Hermoine Malfoy… hmmm, what will Harry think? The name he has dreaded forever is now the last name of his best friend! Oh my god! Anyways, lets see… Oh! The next chapter is going to be SO good! Boo Yah! I'm so excited! Review and let's see what is going to happen shall we? Oh, we shall! But not if I don't get any reviews!
