A/N: Ahh the relative calm after a bout of writers block...

Hermione, Draco and Harry stayed at the Burrow for about a week. They Auror's office had a hard time finding a place for them but finally they found a well-protected area.

Tonks first came and took Harry to his apartment in a wizarding complex off of Diagon Alley. Then she took Hermione and Draco to a small, but gorgeous, house in Hogsmeade.

Draco and Hermione stared at it for several long minutes before Draco said the only thing he could. "It's tiny," Hermione took the opportunity to smack him on the back of his head, "Ow! What was that for!" he asked rubbing the back of his head.

"Draco, of course it's tiny, compared to that mansion of a house you call your home!" she said before walking forward with the key in her hand. Tonks stood back and let them go into their home.

Hermione looked around. They first found themselves in the living room which had a huge fireplace. The dining room was up one step and through there to the side was a kitchen. There were two sets of stairs in the house. A winding metal stair case from the kitchen that lead to the second floor and a hardwood set that you would use if you walked in through the front door. They went up the metal stairs and found themselves on the second landing. There were 3 rooms and 2 ½ bathrooms. Two of the rooms were decent sized and the third was a bit smaller. Each of the big rooms had a full bathroom attached and there was a smaller bathroom in the hall that housed just a shower instead of a tub.

Hermione got a shock when she found a set of stairs that lead to the attic. It had been converted into a loft space. There was a huge window on one side that let them look over the town (Well the town they could see from that point, which was mostly everything) and from that point they could see Hogwarts sitting on the hill. There were pillows and soft squishy mattresses on the floor so they could look out. There was a half finished bath behind them and a lot of room for storage. The whole house was fully furnished.

Hermione smiled and walked back downstairs to the foyer where Tonks was waiting, "So?" she asked them

"It's wonderful!" said Hermione at the same time Draco was like, " It's tiny!"

Tonks just looked at Draco, "Well then." she said looking towards Hermione.

"I would love to live here," she said.

At this Draco caved in, "And I'm going anywhere where Hermione is."

"Aw, how sweet." said Tonks as she lead them out of the house, locked the door, and walked with them down to the path where the Anti-Apparation wards stopped and they apparated back to the Burrow where they would spend one final night before going over to the Manor to get their clothes and other personal belongings.

Hermione walked through the door first and found Ginny on the living room floor mending her spell book from last year with spell-o-tape. Ginny looked up, "So, how's the house?" she asked

"In Draco's words, Tiny," said Hermione with a laugh.

"That's something he'd say."said Ginny with a chuckle, " and what would Hermione say about the house?"

Hermione smiled and took a seat on the couch, "It's wonderful!"

"That's good," said Ginny sitting up, "Oh, by the way, you've got a letter."

"Oh, really?" asked Hermione looking around.

"It's on the kitchen table."

"Accio letter," said Hermione pointing her wand in the direction of the kitchen. She took a look at the cover and nearly fainted when she saw the St. Mungo's emblem on the cover. "I know what this is!"

"What?" asked Ginny.

"I cant' believe this! I just went in 2 weeks ago!" she said and she opened the letter and read quickly, "I've got to tell Draco."

"He just left with Harry and Ron to Diagon alley for supplies for Mum," said Ginny sitting up before grabbing the letter, "Oh my god, this is huge!"

Hermione forgot about the letter though when Draco came home. He was laughing merrily with Harry and Ron. This was something new and it made her very happy to realize that even if it was just for a few moments they forgot their differences and decided to be friends.

"And then," said Draco setting his bags on the table, " he was like, that's not the giant squid, that's my sister!"

Harry laughed and Ron was nearly crying with mirth. Hermione walked over to them and helped them unpack things, "Sounds like you guys have had fun today."

"Did we ever," said Harry. He took out the new cooking book for Mrs. Weasley that he purchased from Lindsay using her Family and Friend discount at Flourish and Blotts.

Hermione pulled out a large sack of floo power. She went over to the fireplace and emptied it into the large flower pot.

Mrs. Weasley came downstairs from putting clean clothes into their bedrooms. "Oh dears, you didn't need to bother."

"It's no problem, Mrs. Weasley," said Hermione as she took a load of food in her arms and put it in the cabinets.

Draco took some of the new seedlings and took them out to the garden where they rested on a shelf. It was in no time that everyone had put everything away and were all sitting at the scrubbed wooden table drinking pumpkin juice. Hermione decided that she would tell Draco before letting everyone else in on their big news.

Little did she know that her chance would come that night after dinner.

Mrs. Weasley provided a huge feast. Steak, potatoes, and various other vegetables ending with a delicious treacle tart. They ate it all in the garden, seeing as the weasley family had grown considerably. After dinner and everyone had helped clean up they all decided to play some music and have some fun. Fred and George burst out their fireworks and started filling the sky with amazing colors

Hermione led Draco over to her favorite tree in the Weasley garden and sat down. He was leaning against the base of the tree with his arms wrapped around her waist resting on her stomach. For the time being she savored the moment. Here she was in paradise being held by the person she loved. Someone who would support her no matter how big her dreams, who would go any lengths to protect her, who would love her unconditionally. Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of love she was feeling she snuggled up closer to him and rested her head in the crook of his neck.

Draco looked down on Hermione and smiled. He reached up and wiped some hair off of her face and gave her a small kiss on her head.

They sat like this for several minutes.

"Draco?" asked Hermione softly.

"What, love?" he asked.

"I've got something to tell you."

He waited a moment. "Well go on."

"I'm not going to Nuada's."

Draco was startled,"What? Why!"

"I got a letter from St. Mungo's today."

Draco's heart almost stopped. He knew what was happening. "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely!"

"Wow!" He bent his head and kissed her. She smiled and laid back

A/N: What's so amazing? You'll have to wait until the next chapter. I know it's short and contains a lot of Fluff but that's how I'm feeling right now. Dedications too...
