Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter, although if I did, I would lock up Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter in a dungeon, and keep them all for myself. VIOLINS ROCK!

Chapter 1

Will You Marry Me?

It had been the night after the final battle. They had been vulnerable after seeing so much death and bloodshed, and when Hermione went into Harry's room, neither had expected to go so far. Yes, they had slept together, but not in the way that lovers would. They loved each other, but in a friendly way, and their love making had been just that-friends comforting each other after such a devastating war. He had asked her to marry him that night, and in the heat of the afterglow, she said yes.

It had been four years since they had gotten married; four years of wacky holidays, burnt dinners, and late work nights. For Hermione Potter, it had also been four years of a passionless marriage. At first, Hermione had thought she could learn to love Harry, but as time went on, she realized that it was a lost cause. So she started working later and later, throwing herself into her work as to avoid her husband who loved with all his heart, but could not bring herself to love back.

This night was another of those late nights. Harry and Hermione had had another spat after she flooed him to tell him she would be late again, but he had wanted to spend time with her that evening. As she furrowed her brow at a particularly difficult assignment, she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," she said, thinking it was probably Ginny coming to say good night.

"Potter," drawled a voice that certainly did not belong to Ginny, "I need that paperwork now."

"Oh, its you," she scathingly replied, "I thought you were-"

"You thought I was the weasliette, didn't you," sneered Draco Malfoy, "or maybe it was Saint Potter you were thinking of."

"Here are the papers Malfoy," growled Hermione, using every ounce of self control she had to keep from hexing him, "now will you please leave my office?"

Draco grabbed her wrist as she was handing him the papers, and pulled her to her feet. They glared at each other for a moment; the he smashed his lips into hers. She struggled for a moment, but found the warmth of his body and the movement of his lips too much to bear, and finally gave in to him. They were locked in that heated embrace for what seemed like hours, but were in reality, just minutes. He finally pulled back, both of them breathing heavily. He smirked at her once, and then walked out of her office. Hermione touched her lips, her thoughts drifting to Harry and the realization of what she had done finally set in.
