A/N: I know, I know! It's been AGES since I updated! I'm SO sorry! But, I have finished moving and work is a bit slower, so hopefully my story will pick up again. :)

Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing! Thank you MIDNIGHT-PIXIE, DarkPrincessPyro99, Jessica Halliwell Potter, VMARS, LadySnake (I wasn't going to have any Ravenclaw connection – actually, I just realized that was a spelling error – her name is Rauma! I have fixed it now), kerry, Red and Gold, Stacy, Tiarwen, anya, Starinthenight, and robin777. I got several new people and I really appreciate all of your comments! You all are so cool!

Hermione walked into her room behind Draco and closed the door. Draco stood in the middle of the room with his back towards her, looking around. Hermione patiently waited until he turned back to her.

"I don't know why you look – this is your room, you know."

Draco smiled. "I know. It's just been awhile since I've been in this room, that's all." He walked over to the fireplace and sat down in the chair. Hermione joined him on the other chair. She yawned.

"You can go to sleep if you're tired, Hermione." Draco said. "I'll be quiet and sleep in the chair."

"Its fine, Draco. I'll stay up a bit longer and keep you company." Hermione conjured up another cup of tea for both of them and added milk and sugar.

"Thank you" Draco said, taking the cup. After a few minutes of silence again, Hermione yawned. Draco coughed. "So, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Well, I don't know. Ginny and I haven't been into town for awhile so we may walk in and see what is going on." She smiled. "Staying out here you almost forget that there is a whole other world with regular people living normal lives."

Draco looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well, here you have everything you need. I mean, you even can bring guests to stay and keep you company! In town, you work with other people to get things you need and help them with whatever they need."

"I help people." Draco looked wounded.

"I know you do, but it's very different than how a shopkeeper or Ginny do! I mean, you donate money and set up organisations to help people. The people in town are the kinds of people who receive that money or work for those organisations."

"Oh." Draco sipped his tea.

"I didn't mean anything – I was just saying that it will be nice to go back to town and see how everything is, that's all."

"Ok." Draco stood up. "Well, I hope you won't stay away too long."

"Of course not!" Hermione stood as well. "We are just visiting. I must say that this is the most beautiful estate I have ever been to! Plus, there are so many interesting aspects to it – I probably would be happy to stay here for a hundred years!" Hermione laughed. "Of course, I'm sure you would go nuts if I stayed here that long."

"Of course not. I would be happy if you would stay here for a hundred years." Hermione looked up at Draco. He came to stand in front of her and took her hands. "Of course, if you stay here that long, you would become a part of the estate."

Hermione laughed nervously. "Right, I-" Hermione stopped as Draco's lips came close to hers.

"Hermione" Draco breathed before encasing her lips with his own. Hermione felt her knees go week as Draco held her close to his body. She felt his warm breath and heart beating as the kiss deepened. After a magnificent eternity, Draco broke the kiss and moved down to kiss her neck. Hermione moaned with pleasure and brought her arms around Draco's neck. Their lips met again in another kiss, then another, then another...

After an eternity of kisses, Hermione and Draco stopped to catch their breath. They were lying on Hermione's bed, Draco looking down at Hermione. He moved a piece of curled hair from her face and kissed her softly. Hermione smiled.

"Hermione, I think you have figured out that I like you. A lot." Hermione laughed and ran her fingers through his hair. "Promise you won't be gone from me for long?"

Hermione kissed his lips. "Of course not! My god – Ginny and I are just going to be in town. You know, you could always come with us." Hermione giggled. "Leave Josephine here and stay at my flat for awhile. Or you and Blaise can rent a flat and see how the other side lives."

Draco kissed Hermione. "Hmmm, I'll have to think of that." He kissed her again, deeper. "I don't think I could go to long without kisses like these." And he kissed her again, and again, and again…

The next morning, Hermione woke up feeling elated. Seeing Draco sleeping next to her, she smiled. Getting up, Hermione went to the toilet and then bathroom to shower. When she came out Draco was dressed and sitting at her table by the fireplace with a tray of breakfast.

"Good morning!" Hermione came to Draco's chair. He lifted his head and Hermione gave his a lingering kiss.

"Mmmmm." Draco pointed to the tray. "I got us something to eat."

Hermione looked at the spread of fruits, cheese and bread in front of her. She smiled. "This looks wonderful, thank you." She sat down in the other chair and helped herself to some bread and brie.

"Well, I checked and it turns out that Josephine did camp out in my room last night. Apparently she is now going room-by-room searching for me. And everything someone walks by, she tries to act like she is just lost and is just a sweet girl." Draco scoffed as he took a bit of break and pâté.

Hermione shrugged. "Well, at least she is busy. She could just be eating all of your food and using all your rooms." They both paused to eat some more. "So, why don't you and Blaise rent a flat in town and hang out there for a few days? I'll take it the estate can protect itself again Josephine – just leave and not come back for awhile."

"Yeah, I really should do that." Draco stopped. "Yeah, I will do that!"

"Great!" Hermione paused. "Are you going to tell Josephine?"

Draco smiled widely. "No, I'll just leave her here to figure it out." He chucked. "And if she doesn't get it in a few days, I'll have the house elves stop providing food. I would think that would give her a good hint that we are not here."

"Ok, but try not to send her into town!"

Ok, ok. I know – it's short and really not that great of a chapter. I think I can bring it up again and more exciting, but now that Draco and Hermione are together, I'm kinda' looking for a way to end the story without being too stupid. Sigh I really like Josephine so I want to bring her back to town for a bit more fun, but if anyways has advise on how to end stories, I would really appreciate it:)
