Answer

Draco, we need to talk please write me back.

Draco, this is ridiculous. Answer me.

This is the last time I'm writing. If you can't get over yourself, and just talk to me, then I give up.

Hermione sighed and flopped back on her bed, frustrated beyond belief. It had been four days, and three messages. Draco was giving her the silent treatment. She was not going to message him again. If he was interested in reconciling he could certainly message her back. She was formulating an angry don't bother message when the notebook lit up.

I'm sorry I was out of town on some urgent business, and I forgot that you would probably use this as a means of contacting me. I feel kind of stupid about the while fight. But I agree that we do need to talk. Can I stop by?

Yes, of course. I'm home.

Hermione sighed and sat up. Slipping her feet into some slippers and padding out of her room. She waved her wand to straighten the place up and went to make herself a cup of tea. Just as the kettle started boiling there was a knock at the door. Hermione swiftly walked to the door and opened it. Draco was standing on the other side of the door. Dark circles under his eyes indicated a couple of bad nights of sleeping. "Come on in." Hermione stepped back from the door and gestured Draco inside. "Do you want some tea; I'm just about to put a pot on."

"Sure, that sounds good." Draco nodded. He flopped onto the couch and ran a hand over his face. Hermione raised an eyebrow but went to the kitchen and set the tea to brewing.

"Is something the matter?" She asked walking back into the living room where both of Draco's hands were over his face.

"Bad week." Draco answered shortly. "But I am hoping to set this straight, that'll make things easier." Draco sighed and shot a bleary look at Hermione, who was sitting on the chair adjacent to Draco. "I'm sorry, about the other night. You're right I should've trusted you." Hermione shrugged.

"I shouldn't have gotten so defensive. I should have just explained things to you." Hermione sighed. "Those pictures did look pretty bad; if I had seen similar ones of you like that I would've jumped to some conclusions too. I'm sorry too." Draco sighed, and stood up pulling Hermione to her feet.

"From now on, if we get into a misunderstanding, I will be less stubborn, and I will listen to what you have to say.

"And I won't get angry and defensive. At least I'll try not to." She conceded with a shrug. Draco grinned.

"Good enough for me." Draco brought a hand up to Hermione's face and brought his lips to hers.

"Mmm I don't ever want to fight again." Hermione sighed drawing back from Draco slightly. She slung her arms around him and buried her face into his chest. "These have been the longest days of my life."

"Mine too. I've been such an idiot. Rest assured that I am tracking down the person who took these photos and sent them to me." Hermione grinned.

"Don't do anything too awful when you find out who it is." Draco laughed and nuzzled his face into Hermione's neck.

"I can't promise that. For now though, I am much more interested in you than the person behind those photos." Hermione grinned and stretched onto her toes pulling Draco into a kiss, her hands threading into his hair, her body pushing flush against his. Draco lifted Hermione and wrapped her legs around his waist, his hands running up her back. He took a couple steps to the couch and set Hermione on it, climbing on top of her.

"The tea is going to be over-steeped." Hermione noted sleepily from Draco's arms. He laughed a rumble against her back.

"I'm sorry to have caused you to waste tea." Hermione shrugged and turned to face Draco.

"It's just tea." Hermione nuzzled her face into his neck and closed her eyes, exhausted.

"Come on love, let's get to bed." Draco sat up bringing Hermione with him. She made a noise of complaint and Draco smiled to himself. He stood up and grasped Hermione's hands, bringing his face level with hers. His lips briefly skimmed hers and he made to pull away, as anticipated Hermione leant forward, a snarl coming from her mouth. Stifling a laugh Draco kept moving back until Hermione was standing. He picked her up and headed towards the bedroom, laying Hermione in bed, and tucking her in.

"You're not staying?" She asked. Draco grinned and sat on the bed.

"I have something big planned for tomorrow; you'll need your rest."

"Two things, one is that I work tomorrow, and two I sleep better with you here. So I think you should probably just stay." She grasped Draco's hand stared into his eyes.

"Two things, one is that you don't work tomorrow, I took care of it, and two…" He leant in and kissed Hermione. "You wouldn't be getting much sleep if I stayed here." He laughed. "And I have some last minute preparations to do." Hermione looked flabbergasted.

"You cancelled my work day, without even asking me? Do you want me to be angry with you again?"

"Don't be daft Hermione. Of course I don't want you angry. What I have planned is…well it's worth it. If you disagree by tomorrow night, then by all means, get angry at me. It's not something I did lightly; I know how you feel about your job. Just trust me, yeah?" Hermione sighed and nodded.

"Yeah." Draco grinned and made to leave, but Hermione grabbed onto his arm and pulled him towards her. She slowly ran a hand over his face, her hand coming to rest on his neck, her other hand snaked into his hair; all the while she was keeping smouldering eye contact with him. She finally brought her lips towards his and kissed him deeply. Once she felt that he had lost himself in the kiss, she started lying back down, bringing Draco with her. Just when she thought she had won, and Draco would be staying the night, he laughed. He ran his hands silkily over Hermione's rib cage and then stilled them, pushing back.

"Nice try Hermione. I'll see you tomorrow! Make sure that you get some sleep." And with that Draco strode from the bedroom, leaving an unsatisfied Hermione sulking in the dark.

AN: So this is not the longest chapter ever, but I think it's better than combining it with the next chapter. The last chapter will be the last one of this story. I don't know how you guys feel about the way the story is going, because no one is leaving me any reviews :( Thanks for reading, and hopefully you enjoyed this chapter. :)
