Chapter Five: Happy Anniversary

"Draco!"

I was still smiling and Ron was looking at me with the expression on his face like he didn't know why I was so excited to see the man that had tortured me my whole four years at Hogwarts, even though he was my 'client'.

I quickly wiped the smile from my lips.

"I mean Malfoy, what are you doing here, I'm not working for your firm anymore, so why are you stalking me?"

"For your information Granger I wasn't stalking you I was just buying something for someone that's rather…special to me."

I knew exactly who that 'special' person was, and a tiny smirk played at my lips.

"Oh, really? Who exactly would that be?"

He smirked right back, and licked his sexy lips. He stepped a bit closer to me, and whispered,

"Oh, I don't think you would know her if she were standing right next to you."

We stared deeply at one another before Ron spoke up.

"Malfoy, leave Hermione alone, and go to one of your bloody hotels or something."

Draco finally looked away from me, and over at Ron who had turned a bright Red, and whose eyes were just about ready to pop out of his head with rage.

A woman came over to Draco, and practically tripped over herself to hand Draco a small gift bag. His fingers brushed her hands, and she practically melted onto the floor.

"Mr. Malfoy here are your purchases. Thank you sooooo much for um, visiting us today, sir."

Draco winked at that slut, and she just about wet herself. Then he turned back to Ron.

"You know Weasleby that sounds good, maybe I will go to one of my many hotels… or something."

With those last couple of words Draco was out the door and I was glaring at that bitch.

"Ron can you believe how some woman just throw themselves at men, I mean how desperate can you be to get laid, to drool over your customers. I know no self respecting woman would act that way. I Certainly wouldn't."

That woman rolled her eyes at me and went to the back of the store.

"Your right Hermione she wouldn't. That's why I'm so glad that I have smart, conservative woman like you."

If only Ron knew the truth.


After that little episode, Ron and I went down the street to one of the many wizarding bookshops on the strip, Flourish and Blotts. I guess he wanted to indulge me today, because he bought me ever single book I showed any kind of an interest in, and by the time we walked, out he was carrying fifteen books, despite my protest, that he didn't have to buy me anything.

By then it was time for dinner at the Weasley's. We headed to The Leaky Cauldron, where we used floo powder to get Ronald's childhood home a.k.a. the burrow.

As soon as Ron and I burst through the fiery red flames, we were instantly engulfed in one of Mrs. Weasley's giant hugs. Mrs. Weasley, who was like a second mum to me, hadn't changed at all over the past four years. She was still short, and bubbly, with a bright red mop of hair on her head.

"Ronald, Hermione, I'm so glad to see you two. Hermione come sit down and fill up your plate. It looks like you haven't eaten a thing! Ronald how could you let this beautiful girl starve to death, honestly."

Ron blushed a deep scarlet red (at what I didn't know).

"Mum, please"

Ron and I had finally gotten settled at the table, and while Mrs. Weasley was piling our plates high with food, they, Mr. Weasley, Percy, Fred, and George, told us about what they had been doing these past couple of weeks.

It seems that Fred and George's chain of wizarding joke shops, had just opened a new line of magic free jokes, and where opening ten new shops to muggles this summer. Percy was working at Hogwarts as the new Ancient Runes professor, and Mr. Weasley had just been promoted, that day, to head of the whole Misuse of Muggle Artifacts department at the ministry. Just when Mr. Weasley was about to describe what his new job entailed, my Wizards phone rang out,

"Draco!"

I was so stupid because had I left my phone on the feature that called out the callers name to me. Even worse it called it out in a seductive tone.

The whole table was quiet and everyone was staring at me.

"Uh, darn things broken again , please excuse me while I go fix it."

I quickly got up from the table, and rushed into the garden to answer my phone.

"Hello Draco."

"Hello sweet cakes, when are you coming home, to me?"

I was still kind of angry from what had happened earlier with 'that girl', and I acted rashly.

"Actually Draco, I won't be home tonight, Ron asked me to stay the night with him, and I accepted."

"Hermione, tomorrow is suppose to be a very special day for us-"

"Yes I know Draco, and I'll be there in time to celebrate. Talk to you later."

With those last words I hung up on Draco, and smiled smugly at the phone.

Finally I came out of my triumphant little world, and sauntered back into the Weasley's.

I smiled brightly as I entered the small kitchen.

"Bloody phone was acting up again, it was my old friend Draca, and not that insufferable git Malfoy.

They all seemed to believe this excuse, and we continued the meal in a light atmosphere.

Finally it was time to leave, so Ron and I thanked his family for the meal, and then we went into the living room, and made our way to the fireplace.

"Oh, Ron I just remembered, my apartment is getting fumigated, so I was wondering if I could stay at your place?"

Ron looked at me a bit surprised, but then a childish grin broke out on his face.

"Sure Hermione."


This wasn't the first time I had been to Ron's apartment, but it was the first time I had ever slept over. Ron offered me the bed, but I told him there was no reason that, we, two grown adults, couldn't share a bed. As we crawled into the bed Ron was a little nervous, because to my knowledge he was still a virgin, and had never ever slept with a woman even like this. When we were both finally settled I turned off the light and kissed him softly on the forehead.

"Goodnight Hermione."

I cuddled up to him like I did Draco, and he slowly wrapped his arms around me.

"Goodnight Ron."

Goodnight Draco.


I hoped that this chapter satisfied your need for a longer chapter, and I also hoped it made the story a little different. It wasn't all sunshine with Hermione and Draco, and Hermione and Ron also got a little closer in this chapter. The next chapter will be about their (Hermione and Draco's) two year anniversary so I want you all to read it. I should have it posted by tomorrow. Well actually today, judging by the time.

Please review to tell me what you think, because reviews good or bad always inspire me to write more and write better. Thank you all so much, and especially to everyone who reviewed my last few chapters! Butterflly
