Sunshine and Snowflakes.

Hermione awoke lazily to the morning sunrise glaring at her from between her greying netted curtains. She flung her feet out of the small single bed. She grimaced at the neck pain she always seemed to leave the bed with but like every morning, she shrugged. It was a lot better than the alternative which was going back to the home she and Draco had built and sleeping in her king sized, down filled, four poster bed. That bed had too many lost hopes in it. She hadn't even been back since Draco and her had arrived here at 12 Grimmauld Place for the final battle. Ginny had gotten her clothes and she remained here, but after saying sorry to Ron--

Hermione ran down stairs and bounced into the kitchen. Despite her loud entrance it seemed neither Harry nor Ginny had heard her. They continued their argument across the kitchen table.

"Harry, listen very carefully. Your aunt, uncle and cousin WILL be invited to this wedding- whether you want them or NOT!!!!" Ginny yelled at him.

Harry spluttered and went red in the face. "Ginny, honey, they wont want to come so let's not waste parchment on them."

The red head shook her head and walked over to the sink. "Darling you won't know until you try. Anyway what would your mother say? Not inviting her sister to the wedding?"

Harry shook his head. "She'd say it was perfect. That I was- I mean we were completely right."

Ginny raised a soapy hand and shook the bubbles at him. "No she wouldn't. She'd be appalled. Now they will get an invite. Whether they come or not is up to them."

Harry ducked the bubbles and turned, only to notice Hermione laughing silently in the doorway.

"Tut tut. Not even married yet but already arguing like a married couple." Hermione broke off giggling. Ginny joined her. Harry glared at the pair of them.

Hermione wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry Harry, but you two are just so domestic and chirpy together."

"Well to see you smile again it was worth it- just don't tell Fred or George. They won't let me hear the end of it. Bullied by their sister into having the three most horrid people in the world at our wedding….Uggh" Harry shuddered. "she's too much like her mother you know!"

Ginny smiled indulgently at her husband to be. "Wait to you see jut how like my mother I am……" She trailed off smiling at him.

"Yoo Hoo guys…..company here…." Hermione smiled. "Anyway we'll see I think Fred and George would enjoy it but to get dirt on you too isn't why I'm still standing here. I wanted to talk to you both. It's important." Ginny immediately shut up and sat down. Harry frowned at her. Hermione sighed. "This isn't easy but here it goes. After visiting Ron yesterday, I found my closure and well I just want you two to know…. I'm moving out at the end of the week….. I need to go home and sort out my life…… It has been ten months and well I don't want to intrude any longer…." She said quickly. "But yeah…that's all."

Harry and Ginny looked at each other then at her. "You're and never had been intruding but if you need to go home well that's your choice. If you need anything…..we're here."

Hermione nodded. "Thank you. After all I still have Christmas presents to unwrap and a tree to pull down…or I could leave it all and in a few month's time open all the gifts on Christmas." She grinned at the two. She really hadn't expected anything less from her friends, they understood her better than most- but not better than Draco had.

Hermione smiled at them. "Well I'll be off and guys….Thanks again." Ginny slid up next to Harry and smiled. "We're just happy that you are."

Draco watched as his lovely Hermione stepped out and crossed the road. She looked particularly lovely today. Her hair was tamed and straight, hanging down her back in a plait. She was wearing muggle clothing; jeans and a jacket. He sighed following her retreating figure down the pathway. She turned at the crossing and he caught sight of a glint from her finger before she disappeared with a crack. His heart leapt at the possibilities.

Hermione didn't know why but that morning she had picked up her mother's diamond ring and put it on. Something about it seemed to be pulling at her. She didn't know what but still she slid it onto her ring finger on her right hand. Her mother had made it clear that she despised the ring and all it stood for but still Hermione felt compelled to put it on…Her mother's engagement ring….

She arrived in the Leaky Caldron with a small pop. Tom the greasy bar keeper looked up from his glass wiping hopefully. There wasn't much of crowd today. She shook her head sadly.

"Not today Tom thanks." He smiled sadly and bent back at his work. She didn't blame him. Since the return of the Dark Lord business for everyone had been dropping and with some people refusing to believe his death it would take awhile for the wizarding world to recover.

Hermione stepped out into the dirty courtyard and on though it to Diagon alley. She looked at her watch before joining the crowd of shoppers. She wandered for a bit looking at the pet store.

"A new cat might be nice. Crookshanks was my best friend, well until Draco accidentally sent my stunned fuzz ball though the washing machine. At least we buried him clean." she mused looking at the kittens in the window. On that note she pushed the door open and went looking.

Draco consulted his map before disappearing to follow Hermione. He couldn't wait to see her again but still he wasn't quite ready to confront her. He just needed to know if she had moved on. If she had Merlin forbid, some other man.

He appeared in Diagon alley mere minutes after Hermione. He looked around and spotted her emerging from Magical Menagerie. He followed her as she past Gringotts and the bookstore. It was then that he did a double take. She was walking like she was on a mission and yet Hermione Granger walked straight past the bookshop, without so much as a glance at it. He shook his head. Unbelievable! Hermione stopped outside a small café, Draco watched from across the alley as a tall muscular man stood at one of the tables. He couldn't hear what they were saying but when the man leant over and kissed Hermione on the cheek , Draco thought he had the general idea. Draco turned on his heel and promptly crashed into a screaming market vendor. The cart the man had toppled over causing a mess and havoc. Draco groaned and hauled ass out of there before the collision caught Hermione's eye.
