Chapter Seven... Everything is going to be alright.
The next morning Hermione awoke still wrapped in Draco's arms. He was sleeping soundly and she couldn't help notice how beautiful he was. His milky complexion bathed in the sunshine which shone through the window, glinting off his soft white-blonde hair. Hermione smiled and couldn't help but sit there staring at him for a few minutes before closing her eyes once again.
Draco's flickered open as he felt as if Hermione was looking at him, only to find her still slumbering in his arms. The sun which shone through the window was dancing on her beautiful womanly frame. Her pretty face framed by her long, wavy chocolate locks. All Draco could think was that he was in love with an angel. Her chest rising and falling with every breath, her soft, supple, cherry lips calling for him. Draco traced his hand up her body and placed a small sweet kiss on her forehead.
Hermione smiled.
"I knew you were awake." Draco said as he begun to tickle her.
Hermione began to squirm and giggle.
"Okay, okay please stop before I have a heart attack!" She managed through her fits of laughter.
"Never." Was Draco's reply as he went to roll over on top of her. Hermione was too quick and jumped off the bed taking the sheets with her.
"That was uncalled for Granger. If you jump off the bed you can at least do it naked. Now give me back my sheets." Draco said in a false serious tone.
"Never." Was Hermione's reply and she ran out of the room and down the hall.
Draco grinned and grabbed his pants off the ground before taking chase after Hermione.
He ran down the stairs into the living room to find the woman he so desired wrapped in a bundle of satin emerald sheets. But she was not alone. Harry Potter stood next to her as Hermione read through a piece of parchment a ministry owl had just delivered.
"Oh Harry this is wonderful!" She squealed in delight and wrapped her arms around him completely forgetting to hold up the sheets.
Draco lunged at her and grabbed the sheets before they fell. He refused to share the beauty beneath them with anyone, especially Pothead.
"Potter what are you doing in my living room?" Draco said through gritted teeth.
"I came to see you." Harry said
"Look I'm not up for your insults today Potter. I'm busy with the nearly naked brunette standing between us!"
"I can see that." Harry grimaced. "But I'm not here to pick a fight today, I'm here to apologise."
"Oh Draco look!" Hermione said handing him the parchment.
"This just arrived by owl and I'm sorry I opened it but Harry told me what it was and I didn't believe him and then I opened it and...oh Draco" and she squealed with delight and kissed Malfoy full on the lips.
Draco looked at her stunned and smiling.
"What are you on about you crazy little bunny." He said frazzled, and he took the parchment from her and read through it.
Draco Alazar Malfoy,
It is our business to inform you that a request has been made for Narcissa Ashbury Malfoy to be paroled. This is due to information of newly acquired evidence to be presented by Harry James Potter regarding her innocence. You are required to be present at the hearing to be held in 2 days.
Sincerely,
Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minister for Magic
Draco looked up at Harry, his face paler than usual and his mouth agape.
"What's going on!?" Draco stuttered.
"I never turned up to your mother's trial Malfoy, and I had evidence that could have prevented her ending up in Azkaban."
Draco looked at him in disgust.
"Then why didn't you present it Pothead! You're supposed to be the saint! The saviour! And for the past five years you have let her rot away in there!"
Draco's face was contorted with pain and anger. This whole time his mother could have been free.
"I'm sorry alright! It was wrong I know! That's why I'm fixing it! I'm sorry Draco alright! I'm sorry!" Harry yelled back.
Draco suddenly blinked in surprise at what Harry had just said.
"You…you called me Draco." Malfoy said coming back down from his plight of anger at the sound of his name from Harry's mouth.
Harry stood silent for a second before replying.
"I'm sorry...Draco." He said softly before turning and walking out the front door.
Hermione stood silently next to Draco wrapped in his satin emerald sheet. Draco turned and looked at her. Dishevelled and beautiful.
She smiled meekly.
"I know Harry did the wrong thing, but he's making it right. Your mother is going to be set free. Everything is going to be alright."
Seeing her smile made Draco feel safe and he knew that she was right. Everything was going to be alright. He took a step closer and half unravelled the sheet so as to wrap himself up in it with Hermione.
"I know." He said softly.
And with that he wrapped his arms around her and they melted to the living room floor and made love.
