Hermione peered through squinted eyes at her surroundings. Where was she? She rolled over opened her eyes as much as the sun pouring in the window would let her, and came face to face with… Draco? She tried to remember the events of the previous night, and only succeeded when a furry golden figure came into view. The band, the ride home, the movie, they must have fallen asleep. She gazed a Draco's face, a new emotion, a feeling bubbling up inside. What was this? What was going on? She leaned forward and gently kissed his lips. Sliding off the couch as carefully as she could, as to not wake Draco, she tiptoed to the bathroom. After sliding a brush through her hair, washing last night's make-up off her face, and brushing her teeth, she heading from the bathroom to the kitchen.

Her feet made light patting sounds on the kitchens tile as she walked over to the refrigerator. She pulled it open and light flooded the tiny kitchen. Finding absolutely nothing to eat, she shut the fridge and pulled open the cupboard. She pulled down a box of cereal and poured herself a bowl. She was standing at the counter eating her cereal when a pair of arks wrapped around her waist and a chin rested on her shoulder.

"Hi." His voice said, his breath on her ear sending shivers down her spine. She tilted her head back till it rested against his chest and she could look in his eyes.

"Good morning." She turned back to her bowl of cereal. She scooped up a large portion of cereal and turned back towards Draco. He held to spoon up and offered him some. He accepted the cereal and chew thoughtfully.

"What is this?" he asked once he had swallowed.

"NesQuick silly, it's only the BEST cereal out there."

"Yea for kids." He muttered.

"Excuse me?" She asked turning around in his arms so she was now facing him.

"You heard me. It's children's cereal." Hermione stared at him blankly.

"So?" She smiled and leaned down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Washroom?" he asked. She pointed him to the washroom and turned back to her cereal. Moments later Draco returned to the kitchen, with Hermione tooth brush in his hand.

"If I may…" He asked, "Why do u have a tooth brush with a big purple dinosaur on it?"

She looked up t him and said,

"I eat children's cereal; I figured I should have a child's tooth brush." He looked from the tooth brush to Hermione, then back again. He shook his head and returned to the bathroom. He soon returned to the kitchen, only to find it empty. He walked to the area in which they had spent night and found Hermione lying on the floor, a large animal on her stomach. She was laughing helplessly as the animal continued to sit on her and lick her face with a large pink tongue.

"Well I got to go." Hermione looked up from her place on her floor. She smiled a lopsided grin and shoved the dog off her stomach. She jumped up and walked over to Draco. "Will I see you later today?" He asked as she dusted Indys hair off her pants.

"Nope." Was all she said.

"Nope?" he asked confused.

"Nope. Charity, Lauren and I are going out for ice cream, then some shopping. But we'll be at the show tonight." She offered when she saw his face fall. He looked up and pouted playfully. She stuck out her lower lip in imitation, only to get it bitten, by Draco.

He lunged forward and caught her lower lip between his teeth. He bit down lightly before releasing it and kissing her gently. He pulled away and placed his lips gently against her ear,

"I'll see you tonight then." He whispered, then turned and exited the apartment.

----------------------

"Good kisser?"

"Amazing."

Hermione sat eating a large bowl filled with a light pink ice cream. Charity and Lauren were throwing questions at her, left, right, and centre, all of them about Draco.

"Good in bed?"

"CHARITY." Charity shrugged her shoulders,

"Just curious." Hermione shook her head and returned to her ice cream. The bells over the door signalled the entrance of more people. Hermione glanced up at the people, smiled and figured that Harry and Ron just wanted some ice cream also.

Wait a minute.

Harry and Ron?

Hermione stood up abruptly. Only to have her knee come in contact with the table.

"Shit" she muttered, dropping back on to the booth bench. "Excuse me." She stood back up and walked over to where Harry and Ron stood looking around curiously. She reached up and tapped Ron on the shoulder.

"Um…. Hi?" He offered as he turned around.

"What are you doing here?" She asked tapping her foot impatiently on the tile floor. Harry looked her up and down. From her knee high boots, to her denim skirt, to the white tank top which sat under a long grey sweater which stretched to her mid calf.

"Hermione?" He asked slowly.

"What?" she snapped. The shock of seeing them there had passed, and the anger at them for never answering her letter took over. The way Ron was looking at her, staring really, just infuriated her even more. She stormed off, back to the table.

"I'm sorry guys" She said to Charity and Lauren, "but I got to get out of here." She grabbed her bag from their early morning trip to the mall and stormed out of the restaurant. As she walked out of the restaurant and up the road, a voice called out after her, a female voice. She swung around, expecting to see Charity or Lauren, not who she did.

"Ginny?" She asked amazed. Her anger flew away as she ran over and threw her arms around Ginny's neck, silent tears making their way down her cheeks. Hermione pulled back to get a better look at Ginny. Her long ginger hair was pulled lazily into a clip at the back of her head. She wore absolutely no make up, and was in a pair of sweat pants.

"What- I mean, why, but… What are you doing here?" Hermione managed to finally spit out.

"We came to see you of course." Ginny responded as they were soon joined by Harry and Ron.

"We've missed you." Ron said quietly.

"Why did you just write back? Why did you make me wait?" All three stayed silent for a moment, and finally Harry spoke up.

"Writing back just didn't seem right, we needed to see you. To know everything was o.k." He looked down towards the ground.

"Why wouldn't things be o.k.?" Hermione asked. "I did send the letter to you… shouldn't that have been a big hint that I was fine?"

"Harry didn't mean it like that." Ron quipped, "What he meant was that we've really missed you, and we wanted to see you instead of just writing some letter." Hermione looked away from Ron, suddenly confused. What was wrong with writing some simple letter? Why was she suddenly very scared to have them here? Most of all, what about Draco?

Hermione thoughts were interrupted when Ron wrapped his arms hesitantly around her and whispered, "We've missed you."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and responded, her voice cracking "Not as much as I've missed you." Ron released her and Hermione ran over and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck. When she finally pulled away she looked hem all in the face.

"I can't believe your all here."

Hey everyone!! Well? How was it? What did you think? I know I kind of ended this chapter on a weird note.. but I just wanted to get it up to kind of let people know that I was going to leave Harry and Ron and Ginny out of it and that I was going to have them come back. Anyway, in the next ch. They are going to meet Draco… just I'm not sure how they will react… anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking that I was just going to have them accept him because… I have enough issues planned for our happy couple. But… I don't know…. What do you think?

THANKS
