A/N: If this chappie isn't very satisfactory it's because I'm distressed about what Draco almost did in HBP, my sincerest apologies.

"Before you go, Ginny promise me you won't tell anyone." Pleaded Hermione
"Harry and Ron already know about you guys being together so can I tell them what I've forced out of you guys?"
"Yes just don't tell anyone else, and don't let them tell anyone else either."
"Ok."
Draco looked at Hermione with the same grin Ginny had earlier.
"Draco what are you doing?" asked a worried Hermione when she saw Draco stand up and look at her with an evil glint in his eye.
"This," he stated simply picking her up. And to his surprise, she didn't retaliate or struggle in any way.
He with surprising grace and ease, considering he was carrying Hermione in his arms, he ran up the stairs to his bedroom. In fact she didn't seem to even realize what was going on until he set her down on his bed as gently as he possibly could.
"Draco?" she asked finally understanding what was about to happen.
"Yes?"
"No we are not doing this." She stated firmly and clearly.
"I love you enough to want to do this with you. So why not?" He said sitting on the bed next to her.
"And I love you too it's just that I don't think we should do this so early into our relationship."
"You're positive?" he asked tentatively.
"Yes. Sorry Draco, its just I'm not ready to give up my innocence just yet. Even if it is to the one man I love and probably ever will love."
"It's ok," he said. Although you could tell he had really wanted to do that with her, "But remember I'm here if you ever want to." he added with a wink.
"Draco!" she said hitting him playfully on the arm, "Yes I fully realize that and you will be the one person I call when I feel the need to do that."
"Good." he stated seeming happy that she said he would be the only person on her list. And with that they walked down to the common room and made themselves comfortable on the couch closest to the fire, Draco sitting regularly in the corner with Hermione sitting on his lap with her legs sprawled out on the rest of the couch. Hey just sat there enjoying the others company when finally Draco broke the silence.
"Exactly where were we when Ginny came?"
"I think it was something along the lines of this…" said a smiling Hermione giving Draco a long kiss.
"Yep I think that's where we were." He said seeming shocked at how sudden that kiss was.
Smiling Hermione kissed him again and that's how it went for the rest of the night. I the morning they woke up in each others arms on that couch, very glad at where they were.
