A/N: I know what your thinking, wait…she's suppose to have a sequel, but sequels are so messy if your fic is not long enough, so I'm continuing this!

Hermione lazily rolled over to face her fiancé, still asleep. Smiling she rolled back over attempting to get out of bed, without waking him. Halfway there she felt a strong arm hold her in place. "Where do you think your going Ms. Granger? Not sneaking out I presume?" Draco's tired voice asked, while pulling her back. Hermione let out a small laugh.

"And where do you think I would be sneaking out to, Mr. Malfoy?" She asked, smiling now, back laying down on the bed.

"To try and cook breakfast knowing you, but dear girl I do not want my house burnt down." He said smirking. Hermione playfully slapped him.

"You are mean…" She said crossing her arms over her chest. Draco smirked again, and leaned over to her ear.


"But is this mean?" He asked before kissing her deeply. Hermione smiled.

"Of course not, Draco. But please let me go try to fix something. How about cereal It doesn't cause flames." Draco put on a pouted face.

"I'm coming too.." He said and jumped out of bed, Hermione put her light green and silver lining robe on and proceeded towards the kitchen. Draco gave a smug look as he watched her walk, and followed her. Hermione shivered as they passed the room here they had fought Voldemort, and most of the death eaters, but one got away, Pansy Parkinson. She was not at graduation, nor was she anywhere in London, sources say she might have moved to the states. "Hermione?" He asked while she proceeded to get the milk out.

"Yes, love?"

"Does going past that room bother you?" He asked encircling his arms around her waist, while she made the cereal. Hermione gave a light nod.

"I was so close to losing you guys. All of you, I was so scarred. It is a terrible memory, but one I must know. For it reminds me, to always be brave, and never give up.." She said barely over a whisper. Draco gave a half smirk.

"How do you do that?"

"Do what, Draco?" She asked puzzled.

"Make me fall in love with you, every time you say word, walk, reading, or just breathe.."

Hermione laughed. "That is one of the most cheesiest lines ever, Draco Malfoy!" She exclaimed, kissing his cheek.

"I try, Mione I try.." She laughed again, and grabbed both bowls and headed back to the bedroom. "Where do you think you're going?" Hermione stopped and turned around and smirked.

"I'm eating in bed, and your not eating unless you follow me." Draco smirked back, and followed her back. After they were back in bed and eating they heard a 'pop' of some body apperating in.

"Hermione, Malfoy. Good morning." Ron and Harry greeted. "How are our celebrities?" Harry asked.

"We'd be better if you wouldn't pop in on, our private time." Draco hissed

"Oh it as your guys 'quiet time?' Well normally quiet time ain't the quiet!" Ron said snickering. Hermione threw a pillow at him.

"Not that your perv! We were trying to eat, and talk!!" Hermione yelled, playfully at he friends. Suddenly another couple of pops were heard and Ginny, Neville, and Fred, and George appeared.

"Well so much for , what I had planned…" Draco scowled quietly. Hermione gave his hand a calm-down squeeze under the blanket. Hermione gave a smile and greeted.

"What bring you all to our home?" Hermione asked.

"Hiya Mione!!" Fred and George said walking over to the bed and hugging her. This made Draco scowl more.

"Fred, George , Neville, Ginny..what a surprise…" Hermione eye's landed on Ginny.

"WHAT THE HELL are you holding!?!" Ginny cradled her baby more safely, and blushed.

"Hermione…meet Mariah." Hermione's mouth went agape.

"Ginny..you you were pregnant!! I bet Harry did this to you!!" The whole gang laughed (Minus Draco), and had tear in their eyes.

"Lord no Mione. This is Charlie's daughter. Charlie's is married to Fleur. Don't look too surprised, we didn't find out till today either, when he came and told us and showed us Mariah." Ginny giggled and blushed, Harry looked tinted also.

"Does my house have a sign that says 'Please come in any time you want, me and my fiancée would love to chat?'

"Fiancée?" asked George and Fred at the same time. Everybody else nodded. "Mione? Your really marrying this big headed git?" Hermione grabbed hr wand on the table and shouted.

"Petrificus Totalus!" She lowered her wand again, and looked at the stunned George. "I'm sorry George I just can't have you insulting Draco." George growled and Fred was laughing.

"I was only thinking that, not saying it.."

"Slick move Fred-" Harry said as soon as Hermione yelled 'Petrificus Totalus' again.

"Now , before I set my wand down does any one else object to my engagement to Draco?" Hermione asked glaring. The group gulped and shook their heads. "Good..Now You've been here, and said what you've had to say, now leave." Everybody's mouth fell open as the disappeared and left Draco and Hermione to themselves.


"That is why I love you Hermione…" Draco said smirking. Hermione laughed.

"Ok lets get up, and go out to eat, the cereal is probably soggy." Draco nodded, walking in the bathroom. Hermione's eyes widened.

"Oh no you don't Draco! You Use up all the hot water!!" She said running in front of him, and hopping in the bathroom before him. Draco smirked, and placed a hand on the door.

"Well if we take a shower together, it will be quicker, and we both get hot water." Hermione let out a snorted laugh.

"Quicker and shower together are impossible with you Draco." She pushed him out of the way and gave a catlike grin before shutting the door, and taking off her clothes.

"Damnit…" Draco muttered, then smirked, stalking back to the bed.
