The next few months, Jade got to see Draco from time to time, including Alcaeus. Jade's relationship with Draco had been something she had never experienced before. Jade had started to stay over the Malfoy Manor whenever she would be free and asked Draco if she could have a separate room to spend the night in. Draco never once questioned her about the request that she made and that made him grow in her eyes. They both respected each other, which to Jade had been something completely new and exhilarating all at the same time.

Every imperfection that she carried, he loved. When Jade woke up from her sleep, Draco walked inside of the door and the two spoke for a while. Draco went to kiss her and Jade retracted refusing him the kiss.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked as Jade shook her head.

"I just woke up, I haven't brushed my teeth and my breath stinks." Jade said feeling incredibly self conscious since Dean gave her hell for that. She didn't want to be pushed away and demeaned for that.

Draco touched the side of her cheek and leaned in to kiss her. Jade waited for him to sharply break off and hurl the insult at her. Instead he broke off softly and grinned. "Even if you had dung in your mouth, I'd always kiss you." Draco said.

Jade crashed onto him and hugged him tightly, knowing that no one in the universe would have understood how she felt for the man she was holding right now.

Jade understood why Draco dreaded going outside in public. Photographers had chased them down almost always and whenever Jade was spotted taking Alcaeus around Hogsmeade for a small errand, she'd be surrounded by news reporters and photographers and provoked to answer their questions.

"Which one do you want sweetie. Don't look over there." Jade said as Alcaeus looked outside to see the group of photographers. Hermione stood next to Jade with her 5 month baby boy in her arms.

"Uncle Harry suggested I should get a broom with highest enough agility so I won't have to bother Father about a new broom every year." Alcaeus said.

Jade twisted her mouth into a frown and shrugged. She never figured brooms out. It was one of those things where she had absolutely no idea about. She was a book nerd in Hogwarts, not a Seeker in the Quidditch team.

"I am not the person you want to broom shop with. I have no knowledge of these things so I wouldn't know what you need. Even if we did get a broom, I wouldn't want to risk getting your father angry by getting the wrong broom." Jade said holding his hand.

"Can I shop with Uncle Harry tomorrow then?" Alcaeus asked.

"Yes, you can do that. I'll ask your Uncle Harry tonight and ask him if he'll be able to take you broom shopping." Jade said nodding.

Alcaeus nodded and they all left the shop. They were all clicked by the photographers and Hermione leaned over to Jade. "This will never change will it?" Hermione asked. Jade shook her head and brought Alcaeus closer. Jade thanked Hermione for coming along to shop for Alcaeus's new school supplies and apparated back to her organization for the children.

Jade apparated to the Malfoy Manor and traveled to Draco's room. She dropped her bags and noted that Draco was in the shower. She left outside and started to look for Alcaeus, who was supposed to be ready to go to the Burrow. Molly and Arthur had organized a small barbeque that they wanted everyone to join.

"Alcaeus?" Jade asked going into his room. He wasn't there and Jade placed a hand on her hip and wondered where he was.

"Jade?" Jade heard Draco call her from his bedroom.

"Draco, where's Alcaeus?" Jade asked walking in to see Draco brushing his messy wet hair in front of the mirror wearing only a towel. During this whole summer, all Draco did was play Quidditch with the boys and take up on helping Jade reconstruct her organization for children with diseases and disabilities.He had gained a bit of muscle from all the work and play, which was now evident in his shoulders and arms.

"I sent him off earlier. He's already in the Burrow. I was just waiting for you." Draco said.

Jade walked over and smirked at him through the mirror. "Hmm, did you now?" Jade asked seeing him turn around.

"Yes, you can look around if you want." Draco said.

"I won't because I won't be able to do this to you." Jade said going on her toes to kiss him. He kissed back and lowered his head so she could be back on her feet again. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed him closer to her. Her heart was caught in her throat, as it did for the past 5 months.

Every kiss seemed like the first one, as exhilarating and beautiful it was. Draco nipped her lower lip and kissed down her neck, keeping his hands busy with her breasts. Jade unbuttoned her shirt and shrugged it off, making it easy for Draco to access her chest. Draco unsnapped the hook of her bra and touched her as gently as he could. He felt her shudder under his chest, making him feel nervous, roused, and thrilled all at the same time. They never went so far as to being nude in front of each other. Usually, they'd be in their underwear, but this was the first time Draco had seen Jade undressed.

"Jade we don't have to do this." Draco whispered.

Jade didn't answer; she only removed her jeans and pulled him close to her. "Don't stop me today Draco." Jade said. She ran her hands through his body and felt his towel drop. Draco guided Jade to his bed and set her gently down.

"Are you sure? We don't have to do this." Draco said feeling as if his heart was going to rip through his chest and bounce off.

"I've never doubted you Draco." Jade said. She pressed a kiss on his lips and lied back, feeling his hands tangle themselves with hers.

"It'll hurt a bit. If it hurts too much, tell me to stop." Draco said seeing her smile.

"It won't hurt, not by you." Jade said.
