Disclaimer: own nothing, as ive said before Draco Malfoy would be mine, but he belongs to JK as do all the other characters of Harry Potter.

Part 5

Since the defeat of Voldemort two years ago, she had gone on to further studies; she studied further Transfiguration and Potions. She was sat out side on a wall sipping a hot chocolate out of a takeaway coffee cup. She saw her work colleague. He gave her a glare that could out do Snape's any day. She watched Draco Malfoy stare at her and then look back to the witch he was currently dining with turning on the old Malfoy charm and flirting relentlessly with the middle-aged witch.

Hermione, at first was surprised when she worked with him for the first time, she knew he was smart and cunning, but not to the extent that he was, she believed that he could have wiped the floor with her knowledge any day, they went to study the same advanced classes and over the years she got to know him better. To this day she still felt his arms around her and the feeling of being safe she felt when he held her. Of course there had been many times he held her after that, they had been together for just under 2 years, but she would never forget the first time he held her, the first time she let him in to her heart.

When Arthur Weasley had become the Minister of Magic, he set about going after all the escaped death eaters; she and Draco had joined the search, successfully locating each of their assigned suspects. They'd been working as Aurors for two years and were very well respected.

Hermione had moved in to Draco's manor. Harry and Ginny were happily married and both working in a similar line of work together. She loved Draco's family home, even Draco's mother, Narcissa. Herminone soon found that she didn't share Lucius view on magical families and muggles. Hermione soon became a very good friend of Narcissa. Narcissa was very pleased that Draco had finally brought a nice girl home. Had Lucius and Pansy Parkinson been alive Narcissa was sure that Draco would of being made to marry her. But although he wasn't marrying Hermione, Narcissa knew that their relationship was for keeps.

Hermione's thought drifted back to her best friends, Ginny and Harry, they got married a year after the war and were happy together. They lived in the burrow with the rest of the Weasleys. Fred and George had moved out long before the war so there was only the elder Weasleys living there now. Molly and Arthur were devastated by Ron's actions, in total they had lost 4 sons, and were left with 2 and a daughter. Bill and Percy each had a memorial service; they were buried beside Charlie in a small graveyard near the burrow where many wizards and witches were buried after the war. Many graves were unnamed; some people had not been identified so they were placed in an unnamed grave.

Hermione saw Draco look at her again and it pulled her mind out of her thoughts and back to the job at hand.
