Chapter 4
Memories Part 1
Hermione sat in her favourite armchair in their library. John was as work today, and wouldn't be home for another hour or so. These were the few hours each day that Hermione had to spend by herself that is when she wasn't planning something for Dumbledore or Voldermort.
Hermione snuggled deeper into the couch, this was a rare chance where she was able to be her old usual bookworm self. Hermione was beginning to miss her old self.
It had been two years ago to the day that Hermione had met John at the Leaky Cauldron. Then she remembered how the very next night she had received the disgusting mark that now hides on her arm, reminding her of what and who she is fighting against.
After receiving the mark though Hermione's life and only improved. Her and John's relationship and escalated rapidly, they were married a year later after they had met. Now the couple owned a house on the outskirts of London.
Though while Diane's life may have improved Hermione's only got worse. Courtesy of Dumbledore Hermione had discovered that Harry and Ginny had secretly gotten married. Hermione had for weeks after learning of their marriage and Ginny's surprising pregnancy regretted taking on this mission and being unable to keep in touch with her old friends, or be there on their special day.
Flashback
"what do you mean Harry and Ginny are married? The weren't going to marry until it was safe after the war"
Hermione was beginning to get flustered how could they put themselves in more danger than they needed to be in.
Dumbledore knew this would come as a bit of a shock to Hermione but he knew she wouldn't believe anything but the truth.
"Ginny is pregnant, that is why they got married. Ginny is being relocated to a safe house so she can raise the child in safety but her and Harry decided that it was the right thing to do."
For once Hermione was silent. Ginny pregnant, she was so happy for them. But at the same time she feared for what would happen if Voldermort caught whiff of their marriage or of Ginny's pregnancy.
Hermione knew this would trouble her for weeks to come. "thank-you Dumbledore I think that is all we have to discuss." She said as politely as she could still in shock from the news that he had given to her.
"take care" he said before disappearing his hologram disappeared back into the rose pendant that always hung around Hermione's neck.
End of Flashback
Hermione glanced over at the grandfather clock in the corner and saw that John would be arriving home in around half an hour. After marking the page that she was up to and replacing the book back on its shelf, she headed off to begin to make dinner.
&&&
As Draco opened the door he smelt something delicious cooking. As he walked over to the closet and placed his coat and bag in there he tried to place where he had smelt this smell before.
Walking towards the kitchen Draco remembered what day today was, two years to the day they had met and a year since they had married. As he got closer to the kitchen he still couldn't remember where he had smelt that smell before.
As Draco got closer to the kitchen he could hear Diane singing to herself. Draco smiled to himself; he loved it when she sang.
Hey
(Go do your thang honey)
I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something about you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside
Don't know what you did boy but
You had it and I've been hooked ever since.
Especially when she didn't know that he or anyone else was listening to her. Creeping closer to the kitchen he peered in and saw her.
I told my mother, my brother
My sister and my friend
I told the others, my lovers,
From past and present tense.
And every time I see you
Everything starts making sense.
She was chopping some vegies while she saw singing. Draco smiled, she looked so happy how could he have ended up with a girl like Diane? Even after a year of marriage it was too good to be true.
(Do your thang honey)
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul
You got class.
You got style with your bad ass
Ain't no other man its true
Ain't no other man but you.
Then it hit Draco, he remembered where he had smelt this smell before. The first night they'd met.
Never thought I'd be all right.
No, no, no!
Till you came and changed my life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
What was cloudy now is clear!
Yeah, yeah!
You're the light that I needed.
You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!
Diane knew this was Draco's favourite meal. Ever since she had first cooked it with him that night for dinner after they had met. Stir-fry, it was Draco's favourite since that night.
Tell your mother, your brother
Your sister, and your friend.
And the others, your lovers
Better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine
And no one else's!
As Draco saw Diane beginning to get the wok out to cook the vegies, he contemplated interrupting her to say hello.
Oooooooo, oh!
Ain't no other man
Can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet
Does what you do
You're the kinda guy
A girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul
You got class.
You got style your bad ass
Ain't no other man it's true
Ain't no other man but you.
On second thoughts, Draco decided against it. She was up to his favourite part of this song. He loved it when she sang this part he voice to him was so heavenly that if she would let him, he would listen to it forever.
Break it down now!
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other!
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other lover!
Ain't no other, I, I, I need no other!
Ain't no other man but you!
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
Draco smiled she was beautiful. As he reached inside his pocket he found it. Draco then looked over at Diane again and saw that she was wearing the rose pendant that he had given to her for their engagement.
Ain't no other man
Can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy
A girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul
You got class.
You got style your bad ass
Ain't no other man it's true
Ain't no other man but you.
Draco knew it wasn't the normal thing to do, give a necklace instead of a ring. Though at the time he felt that it was the right thing to do. And hey it must have been for here he was now married to that very same woman.
And now I'm tellin' you
So ain't no other man but you.
Ain't no other man
Can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy
A girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass
Ain't no other man it's true
Ain't no other man but you.
Seeing as the song was finished Draco slipped in behind Diane and as she was stirring the vegies slipped his arms around her waist. Diane didn't jump when he did this any more.
"how long were you there for?" she asked as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Not long enough" Draco replied as he grabbed two plates and two sets of cutlery for them.
When the meal was ready they sat down and enjoyed both the meal and each other's company. Draco kept looking for the right moment to give Diane his gift. Then he saw the moment arrive.
As Diane went to gather the dishes, he took the box out of his pocket and then gently took her hand as she went to take his plate.
"Diane, when I met you I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you." He began as he placed the box on the table in front of her.
"And when I saw this I knew that it would be just perfect for you." Then he opened the box and looked up to see Diane in complete and utter shock.
Hermione didn't know what to do. She knew John would do something like this, but still every time he did it she would always be left speechless.
There inside the box was a bracelet that matched the necklace John had given her perfectly. She looked up at him and smiled and placed her hand on top of his before she leaned over and kissed him.
The kiss was one of their more passionate ones. Hermione never wanted it to end though her body had other ideas and so she pulled apart gasping for air.
She looked over at John with a cheeky smile and saw him smile. 'Oh it's tonight is just beginning' Hermione thought as John picked her up bridal style and carried her towards the bedroom.
