Chapter 11: Don't Make Me Laugh

The sleeping form in front of them rose.

"Hermione what time is it?" Harry asked groggily.

"It's nearly midnight, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to you, I wanted to apologize," Harry said.

"Ha! Nice try Potter, like I'd let you any where near my girlfriend!" Draco said with a look of sheer hatred on his face, pulling Hermione closer to him.

"She was my girl before you hexed her to be with you!" Harry yelled.

"Don't make me laugh, besides I could give her what you obviously couldn't," Draco said with an evil smirk.

"Yeah ferret boy what's that, VD?" Harry shot back.

"Right Potter, I gave her stimulating… conversation, among other things" Draco said as he wrapped his arms around Hermione.

Hermione who had been quiet through their little spat had enough.

"Enough both of you!" She yelled. "Dragon baby, let me talk to Harry in the common room, please." Hermione said.

"I did that once tonight remember, he tried to hurt you," Draco protested.

"I know, but he won't this time, please for me?" Hermione asked.

"Fine, but I swear to Merlin Potter, if you hurt her I will throw every curse I know at you." Draco warned.

"And I will let him; now let's get inside before Filch has a field day." Hermione said. Hermione moved in the common room, when Harry tried to follow he found he was unable.

"Miss Hermione, under no circumstances is Mr Potter allowed in here remember?" The girl from the portrait said.

"Yes I know Alexandria, but I am making an exception let him pass," Hermione said.

"But, you said…" the girl began.

"I said let him pass," Hermione said more sternly.

"As you wish," The girl said as Harry was allowed to enter the room.

Harry and Hermione sat in silence for a long time, before Hermione spoke.

"Harry, you wanted to talk, to talk." Hermione said.

"Why him Hermione?" Harry asked with a catch in his voice.

Hermione shrugged, "Who can't help who you fall in love with."

"Did you ever love me?" Harry asked.

"Yes and no, I love you, like a brother, not like a boy friend." She said softly.

"Oh," he said.

"C'mon Harry, can you honestly say you loved me romantically?" She asked seriously.

"No," Harry admitted after a few minutes of silence.

"Then why did you propose?" She asked seriously.

"Because, I do like you and I thought that if we were to get married then I would grow to love you. Then went I had to face Voldemort, I will have what my parents had." He said softly.

"Harry don't you see, you will defeat Voldemort without needing a wife. You have love; you have Me, Ron, Ginny, Dumbledore, and all the Weasley's. Harry you love more then any one else I have ever known." Hermione said with a booming smile.

Harry looked up there were tears streaming down his face. "Mimi, thank you are such a good friend," He said.

"Harry, have I ever told you how much I hate that nickname?" Hermione asked.

They talked and laughed for about an hour. Before Harry was about to leave Hermione stopped him.

"Harry, would you mind not telling any one about Draco and me?" She asked.

"Uh, well I was very upset after our encounter earlier. I was in the common room yelling and I did not notice Parvati and Lavender, well you know them" Harry said.

"Yes Alright, good night then," Hermione said as she walked Harry to the door.

Once Harry was gone Hermione walked to Draco's room to tell him about Lavender and Parvati. She found him sleeping up right in his arm chair. She stood back and watched him in his purest form. He looked so handsome, she did not want to rouse him, but she knew he would be very sore and crabby in the morning if she didn't. She quietly walked him to him and gently kissed his forehead.

"Draco Love, come to bed." She whispered into his ear.

He grunted.

"Draco please, come to bed," She said. He slowly rose and allowed Hermione to lead him to his bed, She tucked him in and began to leave the room. When she was at the door a very sleepy Draco called out to her.

"Angel…"

"Yes,"

"Stay with me tonight," He asked softly.

"I don't know if that is such a good idea," Hermione said.

"Please," He asked.

"Well, since you asked so gentlemanly." She said and she slid under the covers next to him.

He subconsciously wrapped his arms around her. They both fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning Hermione woke to a pressure on her lips. Her eyes shot open and then she relaxed when she realized that Draco's arms were still around her and he was kissing her softly.

"Good morning Angel," He said once he severed the kiss.

"Good morning to you. How did you sleep?" She asked him.

"I slept like a baby; your un-surpassing beauty drew away my nightmares." She said as he kissed her again.

"Well I am glad to hear that," She said with a small smile.

"Merlin Angel, I want to shout how much I love you from the mountain tops!" Draco exclaimed.

"You might not have to," She said softly.

"What do you mean love?" He said her.

"After my talk with Harry last night, who by the way is not in love with me thank Merlin! Well, he said he accidentally let it slip that we are together," She said hesitantly.

"Well, that's not so bad." He said.

"Hold that thought, it was Lavender and Parvati who heard." She said.

"Bloody hell, well then we are going to tell everyone," He said confidently.

"Really, do you think we are ready?" She asked.
