Chapter 10

Hermione's P.O.V.

14th June 1998

As it was a Sunday I decide to let myself have a bit of a sleep in but sadly that did not last long as Draco came barging into my house at half eight, making quit the ruckus. But before I could do anything he barged into my bedroom, demanding I get up and ready as he would be taking me out to get breakfast. Before I could even remotely think of shouting at him he was out my room saying he would have a cup of coffee waiting for me and the newspaper, but as he said newspaper he got this look on his face that I did not catch quick enough before he was gone. As I got out of bed shaking my head at this man and thinking he was lucky enough to be my future king otherwise he would have not be walking properly for a few months and he would forever onwards be unable to reproduce.

As I had not been prepared to go out today I was taking longer than normal to get ready, and if I am honest with myself a small part of me was purposely taking my time as well to get back at Draco for waking me up so early. I eventually decided on a short black dress with long sleeves, for shoes I was wearing above knee height length black leather high-heeled boots and to help keep me warm in this winter weather a long black trench coat and black scarf.

After having a shower and putting on a touch of makeup to cover any blemishes I walked downstairs to see what exactly Draco wanted with me today, as he would have only come and said he was taking me out for breakfast if he was either trying to make up for something he has done or about to do, or to prove some point to everyone else. As I entered the kitchen I spotted Draco sitting in one of the chairs facing away from the door, which gave me the perfect opportunity to sneak up behind him. Though he must have been really deep in thought to not have heard my heels clicking on the floor, as when I slid my hands over his shoulders he jumped slightly but tried to play it off. I noticed he was reading the paper so I bent my head down and whispered in his ear,

"So why have you decide to wake me up early today when you knew I was wanting to sleep in this wonderful morning, so you better have a very good reason."

At that statement he seemed to get a little paler, which I did not think was possible with his already very pale complexion, but he very quickly seemed to shake it off and instead of answering me he just turned the newspaper to the front page. When I saw what was on there I very quickly moved to sit on his lap so that he could read over my shoulder. At first he froze a little in shock at my decision but very quickly he moved on and instead just slid his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder, so that he could read with me.

The article read as follows:

The Missing Third Of The Golden Trio Finally Emerges.

It appears that the young Miss Granger who for the past few months has been missing in action. It was believed that after having a falling out with the rest of the Golden Trio, was living in the muggle world with her parents. Miss Granger seemingly disappeared from the wizarding world a few days after the Great Battle, or more commonly know now as the Battle of Hogwarts. We had all started to believe that the Greatest Witch of her Age had left the wizarding world for good, until yesterday when she was spotted with the young Lord Malfoy a know Death Eater, in a rather intermit embrace. For more information turn to page 3.

Underneath that was a picture of me and Draco when I was asking him if he would get his hair cut, and I do have to admit that from the angle of the picture it did makes us appear like a young couple in love. But before I could turn to page 3 Draco began to speak.

" I wouldn't bother it just goes on to recount your past and your role in the war and my own past and they just go onto to make guesses as to how we got together and why and so on. Nothing much else of importance."

After he finished speaking I turned around in his lap and proceeded to wrap my arms around his neck, I brought my face Closer to his till our nose were brushing, as I did that I felt him take a small sharp breath of air.

"Well my Love, it appears we achieved what we wanted. And I will forgive you today for waking me up for this and I am going to assume the reason for you suddenly wanting to take me out to Breakfast is so that you can just cause more speculation, hmmmmm"

"I have no clue as to what you are speaking about my Love can a loving boyfriend not just decide to spontaneously take his beautifully girlfriend out for breakfast, hmmm"

I just gave him a devilish grin in return and proceeded to grab his hair which he had left free to fall naturally to the side, and pull him into a searing kiss that when we parted left us both gasping for air. We sat there for a few minutes resting our foreheads together, whilst we caught our breath.

After we had both caught our breath I stood up, smoothed out my dress and cleared my throat, at which point Draco followed and stood up as well, running his fingers through his hair to try neaten it after I has messed it up whilst we had been kissing. It was then that I really looked at what Draco was wearing, he wore a emerald green button up shirt, black skinny jeans and black dress shoes, and of course they were all designer brands nothing else would be acceptable for him. We moved to the door way where he proceeded to grab my trench coat and hold it open for me helping me into it at the same time, as I was putting on my scarf I tuned to see him putting on a trench coat of similar design to mine. I was starting to wonder how it was by pure chance we kept dressing in similar styles lately.

With us both ready now to go outside, he extended his arm to me and we proceeded to disaperate to Diagon ally. Once we arrived and moved out of the disapperation area we moved towards where there was a very posh cafe for our breakfast. As we walked I noticed people staring at us or stopping what they were doing as we walked pasted, in return all I did was tighten my hold on Draco's arm and lift my chin up higher showing I didn't care what these people thought and that yes I was with Draco Malfoy and I didn't care what they thought and it seemed Draco had a similar thought in mind cause h in return slid his hand into mine threading our fingers and effectively pulling me closer to him, all the while wearing a very smug look on his face as if to say yes stare all of you cause yes this beautiful talented Witch is mine and you all missed out.

We soon arrived at the cafe, which appeared to have a long que of people waiting to get either seats or takeaway. But of course Draco being Draco just went to the front where a stewardess was and as soon as she saw it was us, without a single word she just picked up some menus and led us inside to a small table at the back which offered us some privacy from the others it was seat in a semi-circle like shape but was still very intimate at the same time. As we sat down I turned to look at Draco as he picked up a menu and started to browse through it.

"You booked ahead of time didn't you? You've been planning this for a while."

He just kept on looking at the menu but I swore I saw a small twitch of his lips as he tried to hide his chuckle.

"I have no idea what you are talking about my Love, the owner just owes my family greatly as I helped him out a few months back."

As he replied me, he had put the menu down and slid his hand onto my thigh and leaned in to give me a short kiss. Afterwards he turned back to his menu and carried on looking through it which I took as my que to look at my own menu in front of me but as I was about to I considered how we were sitting and could not pass up on the opportunity to get back at Draco a little bit for this morning. So instead of picking up my own menu I moved closer to him and slid my one arm over his shoulders resting my chin on his shoulder with my mouth very closer to his ear,

"So whats good to eat here, hmmm?"

As I asked that question I felt him jump slightly and I could see him looking at me out of the corner of his eye, as if wondering what I was getting at, he soon tuned his sight back to the menu and started to list off some items that he thought I might like, during which I had placed my free hand on his thigh and had started to running my fingers up and down it, at certain points his voice would hitch slightly but then soon return to normal once I had moved my hand again. Though sadly my fun was interrupted by the waitress arriving to take our orders. At which point I moved back into my own space giving Draco a break, when I finally settled back into my spot I saw him release a sigh of appreciation for the space now between us, I did in return was shoot him a devilish grin that would send most running for the hills all but Draco who seemed to have formed a thought in his own head. And so this was how breakfast went with us teasing each other continuously and just before things could get too intense the waitress would come and interrupt us, you could tell she knew what was occurring by the way she was smiling at us, but o course she just thought we were just two younger adults in love who couldn't keep their hands off each other and though she wasn't far from the truth it was still amusing non the less.

We soon paid the bill and made our way back to Draco's mansion swiftly. As soon as we entered his study you could still feel the built up sexual tension between us two. We both discarded our jackets onto backs of chairs I sat down in front of the fire and Draco proceeded straight to the alcohol cabinet where he proceeded to pull out two tumblers and some fire whiskey he turned slightly towards my direction and looked at me asking if I wanted one to which I just nodded he proceeded to poor the fire whiskey into them but before he came to give me mine he proceeded to finish his first and then walked towards me and knelt down first before handing me mine. He didn't move from that position the whole time instead his eyes just followed my movements as if mesmerized as I proceeded to drink my whiskey slowly savouring the burn of the alcohol. After a few minutes of this I soon finished my drink and placed my tumbler to the side, at which point I uncrossed my legs and leant forward grabbing his chin between my fingers and moved closer till our noses brushed against each other.

"What can I do for my Love?"

Instead of answering me with words like this morning he showed me instead by his eyes moving towards my lips and staying there

"Well my luv if that's what you want you have my permission to take it."

At which point the look in his eyes which had been previously asking permission now changed to that of a look of hunger and arousal and instead of like the past times where he has been gentle this time he instead moved up between my legs and grabbed my face and proceeded to kiss me roughly, during this I moved my arms around his neck and grabbed at his hair. He then moved his hands down around to my waist pulling me even closer to him and one of his hands snaked u behind my back to grab the nape of neck allowing him to angle my head for better access. He soon brushed his tongue against my lips asking for permission to which I responded by pushing my tongue into his mouth, at that point I heard a moan come from the back of his throat. At this point we both needed oxygen again so we broke away from each other but still kept our foreheads touching, I closed my eyes and just basked in the feeling of that kiss.

After a few minutes of rest and coming down from the high of the kiss, I opened my eyes to see Draco watching me with a look of wonder and awe.

"What is it?"

"I don't know how to describe it but is it possible that in these last few days that I could have actually have started to form actual feelings for you?"

I sat there for a few moments just looking into his eyes and in that moment I realized just how much this man had actually done for me and that I had actually started to get more romantic feelings for him as well. So instead of replying him with words I gently pulled him in for a soft kiss, one which I hoped portrayed my feelings and appreciation for him. When we pulled away and I saw a doppy look on his face I couldn't help but to repeat the same look on my face and in that moment I knew that things had changed and they had changed for the better and that from now on we would really and truly become an unstoppable force.

Soon though I had to break our trance as I was starting to get uncomfortable and I am sure he was to, so as I stood up he did to, but he had a look of puzzlement on his face, to which I just moved to the sofa and sat down patting the seat next to me and once he had sat down I moved to rest my head against his shoulder and drew my feet up onto the sofa but only after removing my shoes, I wasn't raised in a barn like some other people I know. After we had settled into a comfortable position I began'

"You know this is really going to change how things will go in the future you know that right?"

To which he responded with a sigh,

"I know but we can make it work for the better of our country."

With that statement I knew he was right and instead of replying I just carried on starring into the flames of the fire and basking in the presence of the man sitting next to me.
