Moonlit Night

Taking the form from the nurse Hermione began filling it out. For the first and middle names she put Caleb Logan. At the last name she paused for a moment before filling in the name Granger. If her and Draco ever got married then maybe then she would change the name to Malfoy but for now it would have to remain Granger. She was almost done when Draco came into the room with a newspaper.

He smiled and bent down to kiss her. She had been miserable ever since the babies birth. The baby girl hadn't made it through the night and Hermione had been totally devastated.Before she had died however she had named her Lalita Marie Ganger. Hermione smiled up at him and welcomed his kiss. She scooted over so he could sit with her and Draco sat down, wrapping his arms around her.

"Mornin' babe." He greeted with a grin.

"Morning." Hermione kissed his cheek and turned back to the form.

"They found his body." Draco said excitedly.

Hermione's head jerled up and she grinned up at him. "That's wonderful! You'll inherit everything, too."

Draco shook his head around a bit. "I should as soon as they find his will, anyway."

"That's great, Draco." She said giving him a hug and turning back to the forms.

Draco looked down at it and frowned. "You named him Granger." He said quietly looking a bit hurt.

Hermione nodded. "Well I didn't quite want him to be named Corbindor so he's a Granger." She said noticing his hurt look. "He's not a Malfoy, hun."

"I know." Draco sighed. "Maybe someday." He murmured into her hair.
"Maybe." Hermione told him finishing up the form.

Hermione was shaken awake late the night before she was leaving Hogwarts for the last time. Opening her eyes she was relieved to see it was only Draco hovering over her.

"Wake up." Draco ordered. "I have something to show you."

Hermione sat up and swung her legs off the bed. "What is it?" She asked with a small smile.

"You'll see." Draco was grinning widely and took her hand, leading her to the door.

Hermione looked back at Caleb and bit her lip. "I don't think I should leave him here alone." She said uneasily.

"Don't worry Blaise and Amy are just across the common room. He'll be fine." Draco said making Hermione remember that Blaise and Amy were sleeping in Draco's room that night.

Hermione followed Draco out of their room and out of the common room before heading down the corridor. Holding his hand she followed him down all the stairs and into the Entrance Hall.

"Draco, I don't think we're allowed outside at this time of night." Hermione said nervously, hesitating to go out the double doors.

"Don't worry so much. Besides this is really important." Draco put his arms around her and held her close.

Hermione hugged him back before they went outside the doors. Following Draco he led her to a tree that was by the lake. Underneath it a blanket was laid out with a picnic basket and the moon shined down on the scene. Hermione gasped as Draco sat down and pulled her down to the ground with him. Hermione sat down in his lap and Draco heaved the basket towards them. Opening it Hermione saw a bowl of fruit and a bowl of chocolate. Draco picked the bowls out of the basket and set them beside them.

Hermione grinned and wrapped her arms around Draco's neck. "Your too sweet, Draco." She muttered into his shoulder.

"I know but it doesn't bother me." Draco shrugged holding her close to him and kissing her neck softly.

Hermione kissed his lips and dipped her finger in the chocolate. Licking it off her finger she grabbed some fruit instead. Draco leaned against the tree and watched her. The moon reflected off her skin making it look ghost-like. He pushed a lock of hair out her face and kissed her softly behind her ear. Hermione giggled and took a bit of her strawberry before Draco stole it off of her for a bite.
She rolled her eyes and put some chocolate on her finger and Draco did the same. He put a dot of the chocolate sauce on her nose and laughed gently as she put two marks under his eyes. Draco put his hand under her chin and kissed the chocolate off her nose. Hermione put her hands on his shoulders and pushed away.

"We shouldn't stay too long. I left Caleb with Blaise and Amy." She told him, cuddling closer for warmth.

"I know but I have a few more things for you." Draco said, gently pushing her off and standing up.

Waving his wand a around and saying something under his breath, music began to play. Hermione gasped when she heard a muggle song come on. It was Shania Twain's, From This Moment On. Draco smiled and took her hand. Leading her to a rock that was sitting in the shallow water of the lake he pulled her close and they began to sway to the music.

Hermione couldn't remember the last time she had felt so happy. Just being here in the arms of the man she loved was enough to last a lifetime. Draco's usual smell of expensive cologne clogged her nose and made her brain go fuzzy. When the song had ended another song started that Hermione didn't recognize but liked the tune.

Draco pulled away and said. "Stay right here. I'll be back in just a second."

Hermione nodded and watched him walk over to the basket. He brought something out and placed it in his pocket before coming back to her. Draco took both of her hands in his and kissed her lips before starting his speech.

"Hermione Jane Granger. Ever since the day I found you in New York whilst I thought I didn't have much to live for I realized that I loved only to please and make you happy. As time went on I figured out how much I need to be with you and how much love I truly have for you. You taught me how to properly love in a way I never thought anyone could. I never knew a love could run so deeply and strongly until the day I realized how much I care about you. You are truly my world. You stole my heart and soul and in your innocence you didn't even notice it. I don't think I could ever you with any other man or myself with any other woman. You make me the happiest man on earth and when I'm with you I get all warm and fuzzy inside." Draco slowly bent down on one knee and took out the little box he had in his hand. "I want to make you happy and I hope I do. Being with you for the rest of my life would make me happier than anything else in this world could ever do. I need you like I need air. Without you my life is meaningless and there aren't even enough words in the world to describe my never ending love for you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I want to be the father of the rest of your children but more than anything I want to be the only man you'll ever be with from now on. I want to grow old and die next to you, peacefully." Hermione wiped a tear from her eye and grinned giddily knowing what he was going to say. "Hermione Jane Granger, would you please do me the honors of marrying me and becoming the newest Mrs.Malfoy, the only Mrs.Draco Malfoy to ever exist?"

Hermione didn't know what to say. Tears were running down her cheeks thick and fast and freely. All she could think of to was jump into his arms and kiss him and that is exactly what she did. Draco's arms wrapped around her and he kissed her back, matching the passion.

Pulling back she told him. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, I'd do anything to make you happy and if marrying you makes you happy then I guess I'll be walking down that aisle towards you. I know you love Caleb as well and he needs a daddy. You'll make a perfect father and husband. There is nothing I would rather do than spend my life with you. Of course I'll marry you."

Draco carefully took her hand and slid the engagement ring on her left ring finger. Hermione marveled in it's beauty and elegance. "It's beautiful, Draco." She muttered softly.

"Only the best for the most wonderful woman in the world." He muttered back and brought his mouth down on hers. Hermione kissed him back eagerly and wrapped his arms around him.

"I love you more than the world." She whispered. "You do know that."

"More than you could imagine, Hermione, more than you could imagine." Draco told her.
