Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, one- I would not be here writing about it, and two- I would not have included the epilogue to completely screw up people's dreams of DMHG.

Setting: After Hogwarts and the war.

Summary: What might have happened after the war, if Draco and Hermione had chanced to meet. *The epilogue in the 7th book is completely disregarded, and the characters are a bit OC.*

Chapter 6: Can You Hear Me Now

The weeks were passing in a blur, we find Hermione daydreaming behind her desk in the library. It was in the afternoon on Thursday, so there was almost nobody in the building. A smile graced her lips as she thought of the present she had given Draco a week before.

*flashback*

"Hello love," Draco greeted her. They were at her apartment, and she had promised him a surprise. As soon as he walked through the door he looked around expectantly.

Hermione laughed and said, "You look like a four-year old that knows he is getting a new toy truck." He stuck out his tongue impishly, but stopped searching for his mysterious gift. Shaking her head and smiling she handed him a package that was a little bit smaller than a tissue box. Draco grabbed it and furiously started tearing at the wrapping paper. Hermione shook with laughter when he finally got out the gift and stared at it. He tried opening and closing it, pressing it's buttons, turning it over, and finally tossing up in the air; but nothing happened. Soon enough he turned to her with his puzzled expression. Almost in hysterics now she took the present and pressed a button. He jumped when the object made a noise and lit-up.

In an attempt to stop laughing, she started to explain, "This is a," *laugh* "phone." *more laughs* "It's something that muggles use," finally in control of herself, she looked for Draco's reaction and found him staring at the cell phone in wonder, so she continued, "you can use it to talk to people from far away, kind of like talking through fireplaces. Only when you talk on the phone you can't see the other person. Here let me show you," she pulled out her own phone and dialed his new number. Draco jumped again when the phone started ringing and vibrating. Smiling, she handed it to him and told him to push the talk button. He did, and returned to staring at her blankly; she sighed and put it up to his ear. Then, she said hello into her end, and he gasped. Laughing again she said, "It doesn't even matter how far apart we are."

"Really?" He said in awe and ran into another room. "Hello, Hermione? Can you hear me?" He practically shouted.

Hermione cringed at the loud voice in her ear and responded, "Yes, Draco. I can hear you, and you don't have to shout."

"Oh," he apologized. Then said with enthusiasm, "This is awesome! How come wizards don't use ffffoones?" Hermione laughed again and said something about how the lowly muggle born were actually more technologically advanced than wizards.

*end of flashback*

She had continued his education of how to use a phone, and giggled now, thinking of his amazement at every new thing he learned. Next, I can teach him how to use computers, she thought, that will be an undertaking. She checked her text messages and quickly responded to Draco, smiling, then looked at the clock. She was amazed to find that it was almost five, people would soon be coming in from after their work.

A/N: I decided to post this one early, since both this chapter and the one before were really short. I'll post the last one on saturday, and it is longer.
