Chapter 2

The next morning Harry stumbled out of bed and rubbed his eyes. Draco laid there snoring with his foot hanging out of the bed. Drool, coming out of his mouth. Harry grabbed the garbage bucket and sat it to the side of Draco. He knew Draco would need it after last night, no matter what he said. Harry stood over Draco and watched him sleep, he look very hung-over, but still, Harry had a weird feeling, Draco looked, some what different to him. Then suddenly there was a knock at the door. Harry ran down stairs and opened the door. There, in his door way, stood Hermione. "Hermione?" Harry asked. "Yes darling!" Hermione shouted and jumped into Harry's arms. "What are you doing here?" Harry asked almost suspiciously. "I couldn't stand another night without you. Oh… its just so good to see you Harry" Hermione kissed him tightly. Just then there kiss was interrupted when Aunt Petunia walk in the front room. "What is going on here, Harry?" she said.

Hermione said puckering her lips together. Harry stopped suddenly. He smelt his breathe, it smelt like the liquor on Draco's breathe last night. DRACO! Harry thought. Harry rushed up stairs and into his room. Draco was gone, his window was open.He… must have left Harry thought "good" he whispered under his breathe, trying to make himself sound convinced he was truly happy he was gone. "Hey… watcha looking at?" Hermione said standing behind him, wrapping her arms around him.
"I was just….nothing." Harry said turning to face her. "You know darling, we should move the marriage date up sooner." Hermione said smiling. "Oh? What did you have in mind?" Harry asked. "I was thinking… this weekend, I'm mean, what are we waiting for? I love you, you man." Hermione said in a rush.

Harry looked back at the crumpled sheets. "Yes, I think that's a good idea." Harry said looking back at her
