After finishing lunch, they all apparated back to the Burrow. Zaara was so happy with all her toys; she named them like it was her children in front of her family.

"I'll be right back." Jade said excusing herself. She entered Draco's room and remembered how it used to be Ron's room before. She looked at her present for Draco and grinned seeing the silver and green plush dragon. In the middle of it, there was a heart that wrote

'We love you Draco!' after an image of Zaara blowing a kiss.

"Why is a Weasel snooping around in my room?" a voice asked and scared Jade.

"I…nothing." Jade said hiding the dragon behind her back.

"Really? Why are you here then?" Draco teased walking towards her.

"Because it's my house…I can do whatever I please." Jade said nervously and Draco smirked.

"Your house…my room out of all the rooms in your house?" he asked and Jade turned red still looking up at him.

"Well…I wanted to AHH!" Jade screamed as he tried to grab her hands and see what she was doing. "Draco stop!" Jade screamed running away and towards the door. Draco closed the door and Jade let out a frustrated sigh.

"So much for sneaking in and out." Jade said seeing him smirk.

"What are you hiding from me?" he asked softly placing his hand next to her head. He leaned forward but Jade hid her present behind her.

Jade's heart was pumping blood very fast to her head and she swore that she heard Draco's heart beating also. Draco gently placed a kiss on her lips and Jade wanted to die from all the nervousness and excitement. Jade responded after having his lips on. Draco moved his hands towards to the side of her face and cupped it. Jade brought him closer by wrapping her arms around his neck with the dragon in her hands. They broke apart and Jade drew in a deep breath. She still had her arms around him and he had his around her. Jade saw him smiling, as embarrassed as she was and she smiled handing him the dragon. He walked back and Jade blushed opening the door and ran out.

An hour later, Jade went downstairs, hearing her mother and Ginny talking in the kitchen, putting the groceries back.

"What did you all buy today?" Jade asked going to the fridge.

"Nothing! Why?" Ginny asked blocking Jade's path to the refrigerator.

"Don't tell me, you three went out to shop at the market and bring back nothing? Now move, let me get something to drink." Jade said and Ginny didn't move.

"It was a few vegetables. That's all. Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you." Ginny said and Jade looked at her Mum who was staring at them with a carrot and a peeler in her hands.

"What's going on? Fine, give me a drink." Jade said sitting on a chair.

"You can't stay here. Go to the living room and I'll give it to you." Ginny said and Jade went to argue but Molly pushed Jade away to the living room.

"Enough fussing dear and just go." she said pushing Jade to the living room where all the men and Zaara were watching football.

"What happened dear?" Arthur asked and Jade scowled as Molly sat her down.

"Ginny and I are managing in the kitchen and your daughter wants to…" Molly said giving him a look and Arthur understood.

"Oh! Well Jade, you should relax honey. Sit and watch football with us! Our team is winning." Arthur said and Jade shook her head not really interested in it.

"I don't watch football Dad. I'm going outside." Jade said getting up. "Zaara do you want to come with Mummy?" Jade asked briefly meeting eyes with Draco.

"Aw! I want to watch football! Our team is winning." Zaara said proudly and Jade shrugged smiling.

"Okay." Jade said leaving. Jade walked to the willow tree in her backyard near the lake and sat down pulling up her knees and put her arms around them watching the sun and water. She thought about Draco and how he made her feel especially after that kiss. The way she felt about Harry during their relationship started out as just good friends and then it grew into a nightmare. The times he was sweet to her, she thought she loved him and vice versa but she knew that for the past five years there was no love at all. He merely used her to get a child and deceived her and broke her trust. Jade felt a tear running down her cheek and she brushed it off never knowing she was crying because it hurt her that bad.

"Watching the scenery?" Draco asked sitting next to her. Jade nodded quickly wiping the tears off and looked back at the water. "Are you okay?" Draco asked and Jade nodded.

"Just a little…thing in my eye. It's ok. I won't bite your head off." she joked.

"Thankfully. Speaking of thanks, I want to thank you for that gift upstairs." Draco said and Jade blushed wanting to know if he was testing her.

"Which one?" Jade asked and Draco gave her a look.

"Why don't you tell me?" he asked and Jade cocked her head to the side.

"You're the one thanking me. So thank me." Jade said as he quirked an eyebrow.

"Weasley you amuse me." he said and Jade smiled.

It was that smile that made him completely lose all focus around him. He reached out to her and ran a hand through her hair. Jade closed her eyes thinking it was so comforting. He stopped his hand on the back of her hair, gazing at her face. She slowly opened her eyes and their lips met. Jade's heart never felt so happy as she was there kissing Draco like a shy teenager.

"JAAADE!" Molly called from inside the house. "Where are you?" she sang and Jade jumped up.

"Er…coming Mum!" Jade yelled back. She looked back at Draco who was picking out grass by grass. "I think dinner's ready. Come inside." Jade said feeling very strange.

"I'm right behind you." Draco said and Jade nodded having a head start. She took the route through the back door and found herself being bombarded by Ginny.

"Ok, what's the deal?" Ginny asked and Jade was confused.

"What the deal with what?" Jade asked walking in the kitchen and seeing Ginny smiling mischievously. "Ok what-?" Jade asked and then she saw the view of where Draco and her were sitting and kissing at the kitchen window.

"Aren't you clever? So?" Ginny asked.

"Oh come on…it was just a kiss." Jade said feeling her cheeks burn.

"Just a kiss? It looked a little more intimate than that. Have you kissed him before?" Ginny asked and Jade looked at her, guilty.

"Yes." Jade answered as Ginny started getting excited. "Ok stop it, I'm hungry and I'm sure others are too." Jade said as the two women giggled. Jade shook her head and left to set up the table. Jade sat in her seat with Zaara next to her telling her that their team won. "That's good honey, now eat." Jade said as everyone helped themselves. As everyone talked, Jade absentmindedly placed a hand on Draco's hand who was sitting right next to her and he turned his head towards her. Jade looked where her hand was and quickly removed it as if it burned her and blushed.

"Sorry. Would you pass the salad?" Jade asked seeing him nod and hand her the salad bowl. "Zaara take some salad." Jade said serving herself and her daughter who made a face.

Jade's hand was on the table as she talked to Ginny and she felt Draco's warm hand cover hers. She widened her eyes and turned to him seeing him talk to Jay and Arthur, his head completely turned away from her. Jade pulled her hand from him, got up and walked away. Ginny left her seat and sat on Jade's chair, placing her hand on the table. In a few seconds, Draco placed his hand on hers. Draco quickly turned his head a fraction of an inch and Ginny could see the confusion on his face. He turned his head, seeing her smiling widely at him, batting her eyelashes.

"Oh sorry." Draco said, pulling his hand away from her.

"It happens to all of us." Ginny said.

"I didn't realize-" He said, looking at Jade who was standing at the doorway, giggling quietly at him.

"Didn't realize…what?" Ginny asked.

"Er…I'll go make my rounds outside." Draco said, getting up quickly.

"You do that!" Ginny said.

After dinner, Jade helped clean up and she heard the thunder roll. She looked out the window seeing rain fall one by one and later, it started pouring.

"Zaara!" Jade yelled loving the rain ever since she was little. She would always run outside with her brothers and sisters and get soaking wet and later get an ear twisted from her mother for making a mess when they went back into the house.

"Yes Mummy?" Zaara asked and Jade grabbed her running outside. Ginny also ran out pulling Jay along and they all got wet running around and laughing. Zaara squealed and Jade waltzed with her daughter in the rain getting wet. Molly, Arthur and Draco watched all of them get wet and soon everyone pulled them to get wet too.

"Draco! Draco! Come!" Zaara said, seeing Draco stand under canopy with his hands in his pockets. He smiled, shaking his head. Jade laughed seeing Draco twirl Zaara around. It wasn't long until Ginny started to slip in the heavy rain and Jay decided to take her back inside the house. They heard a deafening clap of thunder, making Zaara, Jade and Molly scream. Jade took Zaara back under the canopy and quickly squeezed her hair from the water. Molly came back with towels and handed one to Jade.

"Come Zaara, let's go dry you off." Molly said leaving with Zaara. Jade looked at Draco who was watching the rain, sticking his foot out to test it. He saw Jade run past him, back into the rain with her arms stretched out and her face towards the sky. She pushed her hair back and looked towards where Draco was standing but didn't see him. Draco yelled in her ear, behind her and Jade jumped, screaming. She turned around, hitting his shoulder, seeing him roar in laughter.

"Very funny. You think you're so charming, don't you?" Jade yelled, seeing him push his hair back, still smiling, trying to see her through the rain. He took her hand, pulled her close and placed an arm around her waist.

They stared at each other seeing the raindrops on each other's faces. Jade had to tiptoe to kiss his face. She kissed his forehead, his eyelids, his nose and waited for a moment before kissing his lips. Draco held her tightly and arched her slightly trailing his lips over her neck.

"Mummy! Draco! What are you both doing outside?" Zaara asked seeing them break off and still hold each other.

"Coming Zaara." Jade said softly. They both let go of each other and walked back to the house.


"Ready to go to sleep sweetie?" Jade asked and Zaara nodded getting herself in the covers. Jade smiled brushing her wet hair. She felt clean after taking a shower and she wore a white linen nightgown that stopped under her knees and were sleeveless. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw Draco's reflection smirking at her leaning against the doorway.

"Hi." Jade said turning to Draco who waved. "Did you need anything?" Jade asked seeing Zaara get up. "Honey go back to bed, Mummy's coming in a few." Jade said and Zaara looked disappointed.

"Can I give a goodnight kiss to Draco?" she asked and Jade's heartbeat quickened hearing his name.

"Sure." she said nodding. Zaara jumped out of the bed with her white pajamas and one of Draco's toys around her arm.

"Goodnight sweetheart." Draco said kissing and hugging Zaara who held him tightly.

"Goodnight Draco. I love you." she said and he smiled.

"Love you too." he replied shocking Jade. Zaara smiled and hopped back into the bed.

"She won't sleep at night now. Thanks." Jade said leaning on her elbow.

"You're welcome. Well I came here to give you a message from Ginny." he said and Jade waited.

"Go on." Jade said and she let his hands travel down to her elbows to her hands. Jade suppressed a gasp and he entwined his fingers into hers. He took one side of her hair and flipped it to the other side revealing her pale and smooth neck. He saw Jade shudder as he whispered into her ear.

"Ginny said she wants you to be ready in the morning so you both can have a day off together and shop in Hogsmeade." he said and Jade closed her eyes trying to focus on his words.

"Now, I'll be off because I am very sleepy." Draco said letting her hands go and stretching as if nothing happened.

"What?! You rat." Jade said pushing him and he laughed holding her shoulders.

"Mummy! Give Draco a goodnight kiss!" Zaara yelled.

"Go to sleep Zaara." Jade said and Zaara pleaded.

"Listen to your daughter Jade. She has more common sense than you." he said and Jade glared at him.

"Fine, then leave because I don't have enough common sense to give a goodbye kiss to anyone." Jade said trying to push him out the door. "Goodnight Draco." Jade said.

"Goodnight Weasel." he said leaving to his room. Jade closed the lights and went into the covers hushing an accusing Zaara.
