Recap:"Surprising though that may be, I'm rather astounded, you of all people being a gentlemen. And with that they sat in silence until they heard the compartment open once more.

professor snape...

"Profess or Snape?" Hermione asked gingerly, But Hermione was unable to hold back a snort when he came walking in backwards, lips locked with none other then GINNY!

Hermione nearly choked on her tongue, when Snape jumped from his position, holding Ginny's waist and wiped his lips on the back of his sleeve, face glowing scarlet all the while. Beside Hermione, Draco was speechless, but a grin was slowly creeping up onto his face. Ginny saw Hermione from over Snape's shoulder and nearly fell over backwards, it seemed like Snape was about to grab her, but decided best not to at the last minute, allowing Ginny to fall crimson faced on her back.

"Granger! Draco?" Snape spluttered after wiping his mouth, "what are you two doing here?" He was about to leave the cabin when Draco leapt to his feet and blocked the way.

"Explanation?" was all Draco could say through a gigantic grin. When Snape hesitated, he shot Ginny a quick glance and looked down at his feet smiling, "Well?" Draco continued.

Snape sighed deeply and looked, strangely enough, at Hermione. She was shocked; he looked pleading, almost asking. "Due to this unfortunate situation," He sighed again, and without warning, grabbed Ginny and held her to his side, "and no possible escape," he said looking at Draco malevolently, but then softening once he looked down at Ginny, blushing in his arms, "Well would you like to tell them or shall I?"

Ginny smiled then looked at Hermione and slowly walked over to her, she held out her hands and Hermione took them, they sat there, Ginny's head bowed, and sighing softly looked up into Hermione's eyes. To Hermione's surprise Ginny gently squeezed Hermione's hand with her left one. No words were needed, there on her ring finger, was an enormous diamond engagement ring, surrounded in emeralds, hidden so that only the band was visible.

"Oh My God!" Hermione leapt up from her seat, she was flabbergasted, "Ginny?" she paused, "does this mean that…" she gestured to Snape then back to Ginny once more, Ginny nodded, a small smile played at her lips, when she looked towards Snape, "How long!" Ginny looked surprised at Hermione's cheerful tone.

"Your not angry?" Ginny asked Nervously, "I mean…you don't mind us?" Ginny looked at Hermione, "what?" Hermione's eyes were watering, "What's wrong!" Ginny said more panicky.

"Nothing!" Hermione shouted and leapt into Ginny's arms, "This is wonderful! I've suspected it since last year, you two were a little too friendly, I just supposed you needed to get it out of your system, so I didn't mention it to anyone." Hermione explained after releasing Ginny.

"Really?" Ginny asked happily, "Wait? What do you mean, 'get it out of my system'?" Ginny looked slightly hurt.

"It's nothing against you…" She said slowly, "Or him…" Hermione said looking at Snape, " It's just…I thought it was kind of wrong of him, to you know?" Hermione said nervously, but looking at Ginny's face Hermione added, "But seeing as he proposed, it seems okay now, he going to make you his wife!" Hermione said, hugging Ginny once more.

Draco, who had remained silent through out the encounter turned to Snape, and to Snape's surprise Draco hugged him, in a warm congratulatory embrace. Draco relinquished his embrace and sat down on the opposing seat to the now sitting Hermione.

"Well…" Snape started.

"Well what?" Hermione asked the twitchy Snape.

"Well…I suppose, our secret is…out?" He asked nervously in reply.

"What do you mean out? You think I would go around telling everyone about this…this-this relationship?" Hermione asked incredulously, "Look your secrets safe with us," Hermione caught Draco shift in his seat, "right? Draco…" Hermione added, understanding his shifty movement.

"Hem hem, yes oh course," Draco was watching Hermione, astounded that she used his first name, "Hermione."

"Well it's settled then, your secret's safe, and you have nothing to worry about." Hermione finished walking over to the bar she made four drinks and then she came to sit next to Draco much to his surprise and handed out the drinks, "To the bride and groom!" She said and saluted the couple with a toast.

"Would you like to stay here in this cabin until we arrive at Hogwarts" Draco asked after taking a sip from his champagne, "We don't mind, and you can be…together…" Draco was caught off guard when he noticed Hermione staring at him from the corner of his eye. He turned to look at Hermione and the air caught in his throat in mid-breath, she was beautiful, when you looked at her, I mean, really looked at her. He lowered his eyes to her lips and imagined them, succulent and juicy wrapped around his…

"Excuse me! Ginny sounded from somewhere nearby, "I think there may be something more then peer bonding going one here." She said amused when Draco looked at her slightly dazed. She was in Snape's lap, and Snape was ravishing her neck in soft kisses. Draco turned away looking out of the window, he felt his groin burn and his palms sweat, he noticed a flicker of something in her unblinking eyes, like she wanted something really bad but let it slip.

'Seeing as you will…keep…our secret, I would like to offer you a few privileges, I have decided to allow you to share a dormitory…if that is okay with the two of you, this year, we will be having a few guests at the school and space, unlike no other time in its history, will very limited, and I would appreciate it if you would remain as civilised as you have to today." He stopped, looked over at Hermione, she was unblinking and staring at Draco, he knew something was up, he could sense deep magic at play.
