The rest of the week went by so fast and Hermione had had hardly any time for Draco. Between Emma and studying for the N.E.W.T.S she just didn't have much time for him. So on the last night that they had together to be 'married' Hermione decided to stay home and put Emma to bed early.
"I'm sorry it took so long, she just wouldn't settle down" Hermione apologized coming down the stairs.
"That's alright, I'm just glad to have you here with me" Draco said kissing her on the cheek as she sat down next to him.
"We have to take her back tomorrow" Hermione said referring to Emma.
"I know" Draco added.
"I'm going to miss her" Hermione admitted.
"Why?" Draco asked acting macho.
"Because it was kind of fun playing house, and you don't even pretend that you didn't enjoy having her here!" Hermione accused jabbing a pointed finger in his chest.
"I did not, having to change that diaper, it was awful" Draco complained not convincing Hermione.
"Stop lying she loved you and you loved her just as much!" Hermione said.
"Did not you take that back" Draco warned.
"No" Hermione said simply.
"Fine then, you remember what happened last time" Draco said wiggling his eye brows.
Then he pressed his lips against hers, gently at first but then rougher and faster. He pressed his body against Hermione's and laid on top of her now. Hermione broke the kiss for a moment; she loosened his green and silver tie then pulled it off his neck completely. Then slightly out of breath they started kissing again, Draco slid his tongue into Hermione's mouth and she gladly took it.
Draco put his hands on her hips and un-tucked her shirt. Hermione's hands found their way to Draco's soft blonde hair. Everything was silent except for the crackling of the warm fire a few feet away from them. One of Draco's hands slid up Hermione's shirt and the other was at the top button of her shirt. He unbuttoned the first one then he moved down to the second. Hermione moved her hand to Draco's belt buckle and started un-buckling it. Her head wasn't clear but this felt right…and wrong at the same time.
Draco's lips moved to Hermione's neck and his hand moved to the last button on her shirt. Hermione let him un-button it and Draco parted her shirt and his lips made a jump from her neck to her chest.
"Draco stop" Hermione said and grabbed his hand gently and Draco shot up immediately.
"What's wrong? Am I hurting you?" he asked concernedly then he looked at her, in her eyes, at her lying on the couch.
"I'm so sorry Hermione" Draco apologized putting his face in his hands sitting against the back of the couch.
"It's ok, I should have stopped it before it even got this far" Hermione said sitting up next to him and putting one hand on his shoulder.
"But I knew that you didn't want to do anything other than make out, I shouldn't have even tried" Draco said.
"You can't always help it, it just happens so fast" Hermione said buttoning up her shirt.
"I'm just really, really sorry" He apologized again looked down at her.
"Look, Baby its ok" Hermione said but her voice sounded a little shaky.
"Let's just go to sleep, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow" Hermione suggested and Draco nodded in agreement. They got ready and despite what happened earlier they still slept in the same bed.
The next morning they went to breakfast with Emma and Hermione held her for the last few hours that they had to keep her. Their entire luggage had already been magically transported back to their house dorms and their potions/key's had been destroyed. Then Dumbledore stood up at the staff table.
"All 7th years please report to the hospital wing with your children" Dumbledore instructed and all of the 7th years did so.
When they got to the hospital wing it was crowded with 7th years and babies, some crying and some happy as could be, Emma was one of the happy ones. Hermione held her and rocked her and tossed her in the air lightly. Listening to her giggles made Hermione want the real thing.
"Emma Nicole Malfoy" they heard Madame Pomfrey call and Hermione nervously walked up to her with Draco behind her.
"The child please" Madame Pomfrey said holding out her arms and Hermione took one last look at Emma and laid her in Madame Pomfrey's hands. Then she took out her wand and performed some kind of spell that Hermione had never heard. Then Emma closed her eyes, it was as if she was a toy that had been shut off.
"What happened to her?" Hermione gasped "is she dead?"
"No, no Miss Granger, these babies were never real in the first place. But Emma's memory has been completely erased and she will sleep until next year when the up coming 7th years have to do this project" Madame Pomfrey explained.
"Oh" Hermione said softly
"Let's go Hermione" Draco said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you ok?" he asked as they got into the hall.
"Yea…I'm fine" she answered giving him a smile, but there was defiantly something on her mind.
