A/N: Back to school guys! Lets see how their last term at Hogwarts treats them!

--

"Oh, I hate this!" Draco complained as he and Hermione walked back to\ their dormitory after a double Slytherin/Gryffindor potions class.

"What do you expect?" Hermione asked, "It's our last term, exams are coming up. That means more study, more work, more everything!"

Draco wasn't sure if he was hearing correctly, but he was sure he sensed some excitement in Hermione's voice as she said that last sentence.

"Well if we have to study more, why the need for time-consuming homework?" he asked, to which Hermione had no reply but someone else did.

"Malfoy has a point Hermione, do you have an answer for that?"

The couple turned around to face Ron.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it, okay? Can you just forget I said anything?" Ron asked, "please don't say anything to Ginny, she made me swear I would cause trouble for you two."

"Breaking promises to your sister now, are you Weasel? First you cheat on your girlfriend, then you start fights and now your breaking promises to your sister. Where did your parents go wrong with you?" Draco asked, sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"Draco, don't," Hermione said, as she nudged her boyfriend in the ribs. She was struggling to contain her laughter though. It wasn't what Draco had said that made her laugh, it had been the way he said it.

"Okay," Hermione said, looking her ex-boyfriend directly in the eye. "We won't tell Ginny anything, but if you put even the slightest sign of your toe over the line again, I'm telling her straight away."

Ron slowly nodded his head, looking truly disappointed in himself and his lack of ability to abide by rules set by females in his life, and sauntered off. As he walked through the crowds of the students who had gathered around to watch the confrontation between them, Hermione pushed Draco in the back and acknowledged him as a 'smartass,' earning a slight laugh from the few people who heard what she had said.

"Get to lunch," Draco yelled to the students standing around them. The few laughs that Hermione had scored for her playful insult had been enough to make Draco flush a slight pink and embarrass him.

--

When they got back to the dormitory, Draco pushed Hermione down onto the couch, telling her that she was going to "Pay for what she did back there."

They then engaged in a long, highly anticipated snog-session. They hadn't just been able to lie around and kiss recently. Their previous sessions had always lead to something else, or sometimes their sessions hadn't even got off the ground before they had to go and do something else.

It was long awaited on both sides and they both made sure they had their lunch hour to themselves as the kissed for the whole hour.

Hermione looked in the mirror, checking her image before heading down to Advance Transfiguration. McGonagall wasn't stupid and either were the other students. Her swollen, pink lips were enough to give away what she had been doing during lunch, and the chain of love bites on her neck wouldn't help.

She pointed her wand at her neck and said a concealment charm to cover the purple love bruises that were in the nape, and just above, of her neck.

She didn't realise it, but Draco had watched her do this and she was more than surprised when she felt his smooth arms enclose themselves around her toned waist.

"Well, hello there!" she said, surprised that it seemed he wanted to go for more even though they'd just spent a solid hour kissing.

Draco didn't say hello back but instead seemed rather disappointed with the fact that she had covered up his lovebites.

"What'd you cover them up for?" he asked, appearing truly insulted.

"Well, they don't exactly give off the best impression to teachers, do they? I don't know about you, but I don't want everyone else knowing what I've done all lunchtime."

"I don't really care if they know or not, I just want them to know you're my girl," he said, smirking at her in the mirror.

"Oh they know I'm yours," she said, turning around to face her man, "how could they not? I think everyone knows after everything that happened with Ron last term."

Draco laughed.

"Yeah I guess you're right. But babe, if anyone touches you, lemme know and I'll be on to them so fast that they won't even have time to blink."

"The same for you, gorgeous," she replied, watching his face, for the second time today, go slightly pink as she called him gorgeous. "Do you have Arithmancy now," she asked him.

They used to have Arithmancy together but in seventh year she decided it was time to take all advanced classes, whereas Draco only had a select few advanced classes. He also took Advanced Transfiguration, but with the Hufflepuffs, Hermione was with the Ravenclaws.

--

The first day past with only slight glitches interrupting Hermione's first day back.

"God I love this place!" she shouted, while sitting on a log with Draco near the lake. The two were discussing plans for the New Years Ball, which was to be held in a week. Just a few days after New Years. They were trying to come up with a theme, but so far none had really popped into mind.

"How about the future?" Draco suggested.

"Ooh, that sounds wicked." Hermione smiled.

Draco laughed, "I can't believe you just said wicked. I haven't heard anyone say that for years."

"Shut-up," Hermione said, throwing a scrunched up ball of paper at her boyfriend. "What?" she asked, "stop teasing me!" she screamed, while laughing. Draco was doing imitations of her saying wicked and it was driving Hermione nuts.

"Oh, babe, I forgot to tell you," Draco said, "Blaise sent me a letter yesterday."

"Hmm," Hermione said, obviously waiting for Draco to continue with what he was trying to say.

"He sent me a photo along with the letter..." he continued.

"Yeah, what of?" Hermione asked, still writing furiously about the 'future' themed ball but he could see her raise her perfectly shaped eyebrows as if to question him.

"Oh, you know. Just Blaise, and Ginny," Hermione looked up at him, "and the baby." He finished.

Hermione through another ball of paper at him. "And you didn't show me?" She screamed, "I can't believe you did that! You know how much I'm in love with Shannae!"

"Oh yeah, how much do you want to see it?" he asked teasingly.

"I want to see it really badly!" she exclaimed.

"Oh really, how much do you love me?" he asked, waiting anxiously for her answer.

"I love you so much!" Draco raised his eyebrows.

"How much?" he asked.

Hermione spread her arms out wide as if to show him how much love she had for him.

"I'm sorry babe but that just doesn't cut it," he said, closing his book and standing up.

"Baby I love you around the world and back again and million times," she said breathlessly, jumping up and down trying to catch his attention as he started walking back to the dormitory.

"Stop jumping," he said, "you're making me dizzy, but good answer!" he smiled.

"Well can I see it?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's in my room."

"Well, it's getting late. Can I see it then we can go to bed?"

"Yes, you may." Draco replied. Hermione smiled. He may start the games, but she always wins.

When they got back to their dormitory, Hermione practically sprinted into Draco's bedroom, and fair enough, sitting on his bedside table was the photo of Ginny, Blaise and Shannae.

"Oh, it's beautiful." Hermione sighed, while changing into her pyjamas. "I love it. They're adorable." She said while climbing into Draco's bed.

"Yeah, they are aren't they," Draco said, taking one last glance at the photo before turning off the light and falling underneath the sheets and spooning his girlfriend.

Hermione had also taken one last glance at the photo before the lights were turned out. Her last thoughts before she felt Draco's arm wrap around her and her eyes close was that one day, she wished that it was Draco, herself and their baby in that photo.

The exact same thought Draco had everytime he looked at that photo.
