Hermione and Draco returned to her apartment, "Do you want to come up for some coffee?" she questioned as he walked her to the elevator.

Draco nodded, "Sure that sounds great."

"Make yourself at home." She kissed him before heading to the kitchen, turning on the stereo on her way. Frank Sinatra's Summer Wind softly filled the air.

Draco followed her and stood in the archway, watching as she sang along and gracefully moved to Old Blue Eyes smooth voice. He was hypnotized by her movements; she twirled with the grace that only a princess could posses, stopping suddenly when she noticed him standing there. He walked up to her and took her in his arms, and began to move with her, dancing in the kitchen.

Hermione became intoxicated by the scent of Draco's earthy cologne. His deep sensual voice whispered the words of the song in her ear, his warm breath sending shivers of delight through her body.

Draco smiled and kissed her ear as he felt her melt further into his embrace. He gently twirled her around and dipped her as the song ended, enjoying the sight of her dress straining to keep her curvaceous breast covered. She smiled as he leaned over kissing her collar bone, working his way up her neck to her lips, slowly pulling her up in the process. He licked her bottom lip, tasting the minty remnants of her mojitos.

The oven dinged breaking the two from their embrace. "I had some coffee cake that I heated up." She explained as she pulled the baked goodie from the oven.

Draco grabbed the coffee pot and a couple of mugs and followed her out to the balcony, with a small table and an old, but very cozy looking couch.

Hermione's view overlooked a neighborhood park with a small pond. The moon shone brightly and reflected in the water, as the stars shone like diamonds strewn across black velvet.

They sat down, Hermione snuggled up against Draco, she cut a piece of coffee cake, and blew on it softly, driving Draco crazy as her lips curved into an adorable pout as she cooled off the cake. She offered the piece to Draco, who just as seductively ate it.

The nutty caramel coffee taste, exploded deliciously in his mouth, "Hermione, you truly are a gifted cook."

Hermione blushed as she fed him another piece, "Thank you, I've been flirting with the idea of quitting my job at the Ministry and going to culinary school."

Draco smiled, "From what I've sampled of your cooking, culinary school is not needed." His smile grew bigger as her blush deepened. "But if it's something you really want to do, then go for it."

"What I would really like is to someday open my own restaurant." She sighed dreamily.

"Then do it, follow your dreams Hermione, you have the power to make them come true." She smiled shyly as she fed him another bite, "When you open your restaurant I'll definitely be your first customer."

"I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather serve first." She smiled kissing him tenderly, tasting her own coffee cake on his lips.

"I think you already are." He smirked sexily as she kissed her again. He deepened the kiss, pulling her to his lap, smiling inwardly as she purred in contentment. She pulled her hair tie out, letting it tumble down in silky soft waves.

Draco became lost in the sweet cocoa scent of her shampoo as he lowered her to the couch.


Neville and Daphne returned to their apartment, "Hermione and Draco are so cute together." She sighed dreamily.

"Cuter than you and me?" he pouted playfully as he put his arms around her.

"Well, no, but they come a close second." she smiled softly at him.

Daphne kissed him softly before heading to the bedroom, "Are you coming to bed?" she called out.

"In a minute, I'll be right there." Neville wondered off to his study. He sat down at his desk and opened the bottom drawer, pulling out a small box. He opened it revealing a dried rose, a movie ticket stub and napkin from Beckham's Fish and Chips. He leaned back in the chair as he thought back to his first date with Daphne.

Flashback
Three years ago Neville had been in Germany, studying at one of the worlds most prestigious herbology schools. He had enjoyed the time and the experience he was gaining, but had become increasingly homesick. He had just typed an email to Hermione about how much she missed the old Hogwarts days, when someone bumped into him.

Neville turned around only to face a rather shy yet beautiful young woman, who was profusely apologizing, "I'm so sorry."

"It's ok." he smiled, once he stop staring at the beauty before him.

"Hey, you're Neville Longbottom, you're ranked number one in the class." The beautiful brunette smiled.

Neville blushed, "And you are?"

"We went to Hogwarts together, but we never officially met." She extended her hand, "Daphne Greengrass former Slytherin and currently ranked number two." She smiled revealing perfect pearly whites, which made his stomach flip-flop.

Feeling bold he took her hand and he kissed it causing her to blush, "It's a pleasure to meet you Daphne."

"Likewise Neville." She looked down at their still entwined hands. "I was about to go get some coffee and then study for our midterm at the little café down the street, would you like to join me?"

Neville smiled and nodded glad that she had taken the initiative to ask him out, "I'd like that. Just let me send this email." he quickly read through it before hitting send. "Alright, let's go." he grabbed his books, along with hers and stood up.

She led him out of the library, "I didn't mean to read your email, but I couldn't help reading part of your email, the part about you missing your friends home cooking. I can't offer you that, since I can't cook to save my life, but there's an English pub that I've found." She looked at him hopefully, "I'd love to take you there after our midterm if you'd like to go with me." She blushed as she stuffed her hands deeper into her pockets and looked at the ground.

Neville blushed, She just asked me out, I can't believe it, "Only on one condition," he paused for effect, "You let me pay."

Daphne smiled in relief, "It's a date."
End Flashback

He closed the box and carefully placed it back in the drawer, before heading to the bedroom and the waiting arms of his wife.


The next morning Draco woke up before Hermione, he smiled as he kissed her forehead softly, careful not to wake her up.

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away

The early morning light gently crept into her room, softly caressing her face, making her skin glow and her hair turn several shades of brown, she had an ethereal beauty around her that pulled him in.

Hermione felt someone staring at her and opened her eyes; she blushed as she realized Draco was staring back at her. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she yawned, "Go back to sleep my little bookworm, it's still early." He gathered her into his arms; she smiled as she snuggled into his embrace.

She heard him yawn, and soon his breathing was steady, he too had fallen back to sleep. Hermione kissed his neck, "Good night Dray." she whispered softly as she fell asleep to the rhythmic beat of his heart.

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart

Draco woke up later to Hermione walking in holding a tray of breakfast. "Good morning!" she chirped cheerily as she placed the tray on his lap and removed the lid revealing eggs benedict, bacon, toast a glass of orange juice and coffee.

"Hermione you're going to spoil me." He scolded playfully.

Hermione bowed, "Well your majesty, as the prince of Slytherin, it is my job as a member of the Hogwarts Court to serve you." Her eyes sparkling in amusement.

Draco laughed, "Alright, then I order you to share this breakfast with me and to join me for dinner later on tonight."

She giggled, as he fed her a piece of eggs benedict, "Only if you let me cook."

"As you wish princess." He kissed her hand.

"Same goes for me your grace, your wish is my command."

Draco just stared at her, lost in the golden depths of her eyes. Her eyes held so much emotion in them; they truly were the window to her soul. Her eyes shined with tenderness and adoration towards him, and he knew that her eyes could never lie to him. Silence filled the room, and all he could hear was the sound of her breathing, and his heart beating in his ears. He reached for her and gently caressed her cheek with his thumb, slightly surprised by the flame that was ignited within him at her touch.

I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
I can feel you breathe

Hermione stared back at him, and could feel all the barriers she had put around her heart begin to fade away. Ever since Viktor had broken her heart, she had closed it off, vowing to never let anyone in again. But here, now, in this moment, Draco was doing what no one before had been able to do, and surprisingly, she wasn't afraid to let him in, the emotions she felt for him were too strong to deny. Draco expertly moved the tray from his lap to the nightstand, never breaking eye contact with her.

He pulled her close; he kissed her tenderly yet passionately. She looked up into his eyes and was taken back by the intense loving gaze she saw in his now cerulean orbs. She had come to love his eyes, when he let them, they were intensely expressive, changing colors with his mood. His eyes sent ripples of excitement flowing through her body. As if reading her mind, he wrapped his arms around her; she leaned back, allowing him to lower her to the bed. The cool sheets coming in contact with her back was a nice contrast to the warm body coming in contact with her front.

He kissed her again, then again with more intensity. She looked at him looked at where his hand was, then back at him. Draco pulled away, he had no idea that his hand had wondered to her chest. She smiled shyly, and brought it back to where it had been. His expression was shocked, he looked deep into her eyes, "Are you sure you want to do this?" He found it incredibly hard to resist her.

Hermione pulled him to her, "I've never wanted anything more in my life." She kissed him passionately then paused, "Just go slow," she whispered. "I've never done this before."

In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now

Draco ran his hands up and down her body slightly startled at her admission, held her tenderly in his arms. She slowly slipped out of silk pajama pants as he did the same; she lifted her arms as he helped her out of her top. Then there they were, together, in each other's arms, totally aware of everything about one another.

Draco pulled her in for another searing kiss, as his hands traveled down her sides to her hips. The warm touch of his hands only served to fan the fire that was rapidly growing inside her. She tossed her head back into the pillows giving him more access to her neck, she gasped in shock as she felt where one of his hands was wandering. "It's ok bookworm, just relax." he whispered before kissing her ear.

Draco smiled to himself as he dipped a finger into her, feeling her body squirm beneath his. She dug her fingers into his shoulders, reaching for him, as he continued to tease her sensitive little nub. The sounds of her panting soon filled his ears as he watched her struggle to reach something she knew only he could give her.

He laughed a little as she groaned when he stopped a moment before she reached her climax. He shifted his body to rest in between her legs, he placed his arms beside her and propped himself up on his elbows. He looked into her eyes one more time, to make sure that she was ready, he cringed when he saw a flash of hesitation, but as soon as it had come it passed, and was replaced by raw passion and burning desire. He gently worked his way in, forcing himself to go slow, trying to be as tender as possible. He felt her tense up beneath him; "Its ok bookworm, I promise I'll go slow." he waited until she relaxed to go a bit further. He stopped when he felt resistance, shocked that all of her years and adventures and hair raising situations, or a previous boyfriend hadn't already broken the barrier. He pulled back slightly then rocked forward, pushing against the barrier a little more. He did this a few more times, allowing her to adjust to the feeling of him inside her.

Hermione looked up at him, his eyes were shut and he had a look of grief that marred his handsome face. She ran a hand through his hair and caressed his cheek, wondering if she had done something wrong.

Draco opened his eyes and stared down into her bright honey colored eyes, so full of hope, innocence, and love? Was it love in her eyes? All of a sudden he felt so unworthy of her, he found himself shaking. He was afraid of hurting her, more so than he had been with Pansy or any other girl he had ever been with, yet he knew it would be unavoidable.

I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
I can feel you breathe

He rested his forehead on hers and kissed her lips apologetically, before thrusting forward tearing through her virginity, filling her completely. Draco held her tightly to him as he felt her squirm, trying to separate herself from him. He moved his mouth to her ear whispered over and over how sorry he was as he felt her tears trickling down her cheek. He held her as she slowly calmed down, he wiped her tears away, "I'm so sorry bookworm, but I promise you it will get better."

He waited a few more moments before he began to move. Hermione felt him beginning to move and soon the pain she had felt melted away and was replaced by an intense feeling she could not put into words.

When her moans and sighs indicated to him that she was at the height of her desire, he sped up, anxious to find his own release as well. He kissed her neck as she tossed her head back, her fingers gripping the sheets as her toes curled. Her back arched bringing her closer to him and she moaned in utmost pleasure, her inner walls clamped down on him as she rode out the waves of her first ever release. Seeing her so content was all that Draco needed and he too was driven over the edge.

I can feel the magic floating in the air

His arms no longer able to support his body gave way, and he collapsed on top of her. She held her to him her hands rubbing his back lightly; both bodies shimmered with a fine layer of sweat.

"Are you ok?" he asked as he looked into her eyes, enjoying the sensation of his heart beating against her breast.

She smiled, "Yes." she kissed him softly as she tucked a strand of his silky hair behind his ear.

He gently caressed her cheek, "Are you sure?"

"Oh yes, quite." she replied dreamily. He withdrew himself from her and lay down beside her, where he gathered her into his arms spooning her. He wrapped his arms around her and she entwined her fingers with his, and kissed them before bringing their joined hands to rest by her heart.

Draco pulled the blankets up over them, and kissed her shoulder as they both drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Being with you gets me that way


Ginny woke up and smiled as she looked at her beautiful husband sleeping next to her, she inwardly giggled knowing Blaise would pout over being called beautiful, claiming it to be a girlie word. She gently brushed an ebony lock of hair from his face and instinctively he snuggled closer to her, causing her to giggle softly. Sometimes it tripped her out that Blaise Zabini had chosen her.

She cuddled into his embrace and just watched him sleep, lost in memories of their first date a year and a half ago.

Flashback
Ginny sat at the bar of Bella Pietra; she rested her head on the smooth cool countertop.

"What can I get for you?" a cheerful voice broke into her thoughts. Ginny slowly looked up, "Gin? What's wrong?" Blaise leaned on the counter in front of her, worry clearly written on his face.

"Nothing, it's stupid." She tried to smile.

"It can't be stupid if you're that upset over it." He tried to coax her to tell.

Ginny sighed, "Well as you probably already know, next week is the Longbottom/Greengrass wedding and everyone has a date except me. Pansy has Harry, Millie has Ron, Hermione and Draco decided to go as friends, since they've bonded after she lost Viktor and he lost Pansy... and me, who do I have?"

"Me." Blaise filled in.

Ginny stopped her rambling, "Huh?"

Blaise took a deep breath in realizing that he had spoken out loud. Well here goes nothing. "Ginny," he took her hand in his, "I would be honored to be your date to the wedding."

Ginny shook her head, "I don't want you to feel obligated to take me just because I'm a brides-maid and you're a grooms-men."

"I didn't mean it that way; it's just that- well." He stuttered.

"Well what?"

"I've had a crush on you for a while, I've just been too afraid to say anything."

"Really?" Ginny's heart soared, for she had always admired Blaise from afar.

Blaise smiled, "Really. Now would you do me the honor of allowing me to take you to this wedding on Saturday?"

Ginny nodded her head, "Yes!" she squealed with joy. The door jingled and Hermione walked in, waving to Ginny and Blaise. "The ceremony is at 5, dinner to follow at 6:30. The girls are all getting ready at Hermione's where the guys are picking us up at 4:15." She got up as Hermione told her to hurry, "I have to go, Hermione and I are going shopping for shoes to wear to the wedding, I'll see you Saturday!" she leaned in and kissed his cheek, making him blush before running out with Hermione.
End Flashback

She smiled as she remembered what an amazing night she had had with Blaise. Three months later he had proposed, and now, here they were, husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Zabini.


Alrighty, yay! I finished another chapter! My first lemon... I know I only explained how Neville/Daphne, Ginny/Blaise got together, I'll explain Pansy/Harry and Millie/Ron in the next chapter... Song belongs to Faith Hill, or whoever wrote it... I know she sang it... anywho I don't own it or the characters. Part of my lemon scene was inspired by a piece I read written by Jubei.
