Granger, can't you just tell me already?
Shh… Trust me, you'll love my surprise.
Unless it's some super sexy lingerie, I don't see a point.
Shut up. I swear, you have the mind of a horny teenage boy.
When your girlfriend is that sexy, can you blame me?
Aww… flattery won't get me to reveal my present early.
Damn it! Does nothing work with you?
Of course not.
So, did you like it?
Of course I did, love. You got us both a locket with our picture in it.
And you didn't mind that it was the muggle picture we took when we visited Paris for Christmas?
Of course not. I love magical pictures and all, but the muggle ones just seem… timeless.
Granger, still there?
Yes.
What happened?
Nothing.
Granger.
Yes.
Tell me what's wrong.
It's nothing. I was just thinking about how Valentine's is coming up… and how I might be fine with…
With what? Granger, don't kill me with the suspense.
I might be fine with… going all the way.
Daph.
Daph, are you still there?
Are you doing the victory dance again?
Maybe…
Dork.
I'm your dork.
Yes, you are. You better not forget that.
I love you.
Hi.
Why? Why is it always History of Magic?
I thought I-
Yes, you did. It was a rhetorical question.
Just remember, if my grades slip by even one point, I'm cutting you off.
We had sex for the very first time last night and you're already using the 'I'm cutting you off' to get your way. Come on, cut me some slack.
No. If you don't like it then you can leave.
Fine.
Daphne…
Daphne, are you still there?
Were you serious?
No! You can't actually be serious about something like this.
Daphne Greengrass, you-
I'm sorry… I was too busy… laughing.
You are so dead.
Granger, I'm sorry.
Granger.
Oh fuck.
I cannot believe you made me do that. You made me ask stupid questions to McGonagall.
That was a fun Transfiguration class.
Did you see the glare she was giving me by the end of the class?
Wouldn't have missed it for the world.
And now I have detention every night for a month, where she will tutor me on Human Transfiguration. I can't believe I have to sit with McGonagall for every night for an entire month, when I could be spending that time with you.
YOU'RE A GENIUS!
I've been told that on occasion.
I love you so much for this. Now I get to spend every day with you out in public and nobody can argue because it has been approved by McGonagall.
Actually, there's a reason for me doing this.
And what might that be, my lovely lady?
I want you to meet my friends.
I've met your friends seven years ago, my beautiful angel.
I meant as my girlfriend.
But how does this help, my-
Enough with the flattery. And it helps because you won't be meeting them today or tomorrow. You'll meet them in a month's time, or maybe two months depending on how it all plays out.
What do you mean?
They won't believe it if we're suddenly acting like a couple, so we simulate a romance for them.
You really are a genius.
You said that already.
I mean it.
Though, I have just one gripe.
What?
Are… Are you really as involved in this as I am?
Granger… What was the very first thing I told you?
Daphne.
I told you that I love you. That isn't going to change anytime soon. So get it through your head. I'm in this until we have great-grandchildren.
I think you skipped a few generations there.
Well, I mean it how it is.
Daph! What are you doing with your leg?
Nothing.
Doesn't feel like nothing to me.
Daph. Don't you dare run your foot up my thigh.
Why? It's nothing I haven't touched before.
Daph, we're in the LIBRARY.
Granger, nobody can see us here. It's your secret spot.
Daphne!
Mmm… That was tasty.
I cannot believe you got me off in the middle of the fucking LIBRARY.
Granger, are you trying to make me horny? Wait… do you want to get me off too?
WHAT? NO… NO! Just… NO.
Well, from all that swearing and moaning, I would think otherwise.
I was moaning?
As loud as a banshee.
ARE YOU CALLING ME A BANSHEE?!
WHAT?! NO! Of course not. Where the fuck did you pick that up?
But-
I was only comparing the volume. Were you not listening? Your moans make me horny.
I was moaning in the Library.
Granger, before you start breaking down in guilt and humiliation, I would like to inform you that I cast a silencing charm on this small area we're in. So nobody heard you.
… Thank You.
Did you really think I'd let someone else hear your moans, Granger? You do know how possessive I am when it concerns you.
Yes.
Good.
I think you should meet my friends today.
Already, I thought you wanted me to wait until-
No. Not as a couple, just… as someone who isn't as bad as people make them out to be.
Oh that... alright, I'll meet them.
Good, come over to the Room of Requirement at 8 tonight.
Sure, love.
You know. I really think I'm okay with Potter and Longbottom. They aren't as bad as Draco made them out to be. Though, I don't think I'll ever be okay with Weasley. The male one, that is. Ginny was definitely the best of them all. Lovegood was just odd, though she was quite nice as a person.
I noticed that you called Ginny by her first name.
Well, I can't call her Weasley, and Draco's preference of She-Weasley is bit annoying to be honest.
Fine.
Granger.
Daph. Study. NEWTs are right around the corner.
Granger, I'm feeling horny.
Daph. You're supposed to be studying while you're in the Library. If you are going to keep disturbing me like this, then you can leave.
Daph, Ginny tells me you two have been spending a lot of time together recently.
Yeah. I told you, she's the one I'd probably get along the best with out of all of your friends.
Yeah, sure. You did tell me.
You and Ginny seem to be really close now.
Yes, we are. It finally feels like I have a friend I can trust right now.
Oh. Okay.
Granger, I don't know how Potter and Weasley are going to take it, but Ginny just invited me to the Burrow after the NEWTs.
Oh. She did? That's nice, isn't it?
Yeah. Astoria is moving in with Draco, because they're in love… or something. And I don't want to move back into my old house, for obvious reasons. I think I might stay at the Burrow for a week or so, until I find a place to live.
Oh. Okay. So that's the plan for the summer then?
I guess so.
Okay.
Granger, have you been avoiding me?
No.
You have been avoiding me, haven't you? Why? What did I do wrong?
Instead of thinking about what you did do, why don't you start with what you didn't do?
I don't understand.
Ugh… You're so dense you might as well be Ron.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
Or else what? You'll cut me off of sex. Is that it? Aren't you doing that already?
We're not having enough sex, is that it?
That's only part of it. You're barely there anymore. Always going off Ginny this… Ginny that… It's almost as if Ginny is your girlfriend and not me.
…
Say something.
Granger, are you… jealous?
Did you give me a reason not to be?
I was only keeping my distance because you said you wanted to study for the NEWTs and I knew I'd be a disturbance if I was constantly around. And in the meantime, I decided to befriend Ginny because she was the nicest to me out of all of your friends. But I never meant to replace you with her. You're still my angel.
But you kept talking about how you want to visit the Burrow and when I asked what your plans were for the summer, you mentioned all these changes to your life but… you didn't mention me.
Oh Merlin, I just want to hug you right now, but unfortunately that isn't possible. Granger, I was never planning on living alone. I was going to ask you after the NEWTs ended in person, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Hermione Jean Granger, will you move in with me?
…
Granger?
You do still love me.
HOW COULD YOU EVER DOUBT THAT? I will ALWAYS love you.
I love you too.
Daph.
Are you still there?
Daph.
Sorry, I couldn't believe you actually wrote that for me. That was the first time you said you love me and it was on the message sheet.
The first time you said it to me was also in the same way.
Touche.
I wish I could kiss you right now.
I wish I could-
NOPE. Don't start here. I know what you're about to write. Don't even begin here.
Will you try it out with me though?
Maybe… And don't do the dance.
Aww...
Granger, did you just show Ginny the finger behind her back?
Maybe…
I can't believe you're still jealous about that.
I did not bind Ginny to a chair and threaten her to forget about you.
No… you did not.
Good, you understand.
Granger, are you sure you want to tell them today?
Yes. We only have a few more days before we leave. I want to tell them before that.
Okay.
That went smoother than expected.
I can't believe Ron tried to attack you. I mean I do get the entire story about the message sheet and everything is a little overwhelming, but still.
I expected that. What I didn't expect was the disappointed look on Ginny's face.
WHAT? Daph, don't joke with me on this. Daph, I'm warning you.
Sorry, I was indeed joking.
Good. Now I'm going to have to punish you for that.
Mmm… I'm going to get punished. I've been a naughty girl. Please punish me, Granger.
By punish, I didn't think you'd actually punish me. You made me pack all your millions of books… WITHOUT MAGIC! I think I broke my back last night.
You exaggerate the task quite a lot.
I'm NOT exaggerating.
Whatever it is, the back massage seemed to have cured it right away.
Well, what we did afterwards seems to have brought it back. So… give me another massage.
Then we'll end up in a cycle where I keep giving you back massages and then we keep having sex afterwards.
That's the dream.
You can't see it but I'm sticking my tongue out right now.
Haha… Anyways, so Granger. This is our last day at Hogwarts. And probably the last time we will have to use the message sheet.
Hmm… I don't think this is the end of the message sheet. We will most definitely use it when we start working.
You're probably right. But this is the last time we'll use it in Hogwarts.
But when I'm a Transfiguration Profess-
Granger, do you understand what I'm trying to ask?
Yes.
Then answer that.
I'm going to miss this place.
I will too. It's where I fell in love with you.
And I fell in love with you.
Well, I have to ask, Granger.
What?
Do you think you'll survive living with me?
Of Course I Do.
I know, 2 chapters in a day! What is this, Christmas?
How was it? Please let me know with your reviews.
Thanks.
