"Who would've thought? Huh? Of all the places I would end up it would be Malfoy Manor" Hermione interrogated herself as she looked in a mirror. She had just changed in to a pair of Draco's sweats and T-shirt that were baggy but dry none the less. She calmly pulled out her wand and muttered a hair-drying spell, put it up in a messy bun and went down the stairs to find Draco sitting on the couch in front of a warm fire. She smiled and approached him only to hear him whispering to no one in particular, she stayed quiet and listened; "What did I do to disserve her? She disserves so much better than me, and she is so beautiful. Why me?" "Because you care, and you made me see that in a world of different there can be some alike, that not everything has to be black and white, there is always room for a little grey in life and I think I've found mine. I just never knew grey could be so beautiful." Hermione answered looking deep into his eyes, "I love you Draco Malfoy, and don't you forget it." "I love you too Hermione," he answered as he stood up and took her in his arms, "I'm never going to let you go," he continued, "I'd never be able to forgive myself." She smiled and whispered, "I won't let you let me go." He raised his hand to cup her cheek and softly brought his lips down to hers, wrapping her arms around his neck she deepened the kiss. Wrapping her arms around his neck and running her fingers through his hair she felt him shiver as he reluctantly pulled away and led her to the couch. He sat down and pulled her down with him. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes, soon she was asleep in Draco's arms were she belonged.
Hermione awoke the next morning to sunlight and laughter. Totally confused she made her way to the kitchen only to see Draco, Harry, and Ron each with an apron on busily cooking what she assumed was breakfast. "Good…. Morning?" she asked looking at the boys wondering what Harry and Ron were doing here. "Morning 'Mione!" Harry exclaimed happily as he turned around and Hermione had to stifle a laugh, Harry's apron was covered with grease as was his face, "I've almost got this whole pancake flip worked out, watch this!" Suddenly he jerked the spatula upward tossing the hot pancake high in the air only to have it land smack on his head. At the sight of Harry with a pancake on his head everyone laughed their hardest. "So what are you two doing here?" Hermione asked looking pointedly at Harry and Ron. "Well 'Mione, Harry and I were just about ready to leave our flat for breakfast ourselves when Draco here met us on the street. He kindly asked if we would join him for breakfast and that he needed to tell us something. We accepted obviously but neither of us had any idea what Draco Malfoy could possibly want to talk to us about, well, until that is we saw you on his couch, then we just kinda figured it out." Ron explained before Harry added "Congratulations you two! But Draco, you hurt her and we'll kill you, got it?" Draco nodded and said, "you couldn't pay me enough to hurt her, not to mention I'd never forgive myself." Hermione smiled at this, "thank you sweetheart and good morning!" she said as she leaned over and kissed him lightly. "Good Morning!" Draco smirked as he turned back to his bacon picking up a couple pieces and placing them on the plate before turning back to Hermione and setting the plate in front of her along with a glass of juice. "Thanks guys!" Hermione exclaimed, "wow this looks really good!" She was joined by Draco, Harry and Ron who immediately started talking about the Chudley Cannons game that took place the night before. Hermione looked around at everyone laughing with smiles on their faces and thought to herself 'Grey is definitely more beautiful.'
