The next morning Hermione awoke and at first thought it was still night until she saw that sunlight was peaking through the dark curtains. Hermione tried getting up but was held down by an unknown force. It was then that Hermione remembered her night of passion with Draco. She turned around to face him and smiled at his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and angelic when he was asleep. Hermione looked down at her waist and found the reason she couldn't get up. Draco had his arm draped over her waist in a loving and protective way. Shaking her head and laughing softly Hermione looked back at Draco's face and kissed his lips softly. Draco awoke slowly and with a groan. He opened his eyes and stretched. This gave Hermione the opportunity to put on her panties and one of his shirts, which were so large on her it could be considered a nightgown. Draco too got up and put on his boxers but that's it. Hermione went over and kissed him softly and then the couple made their way into the kitchen where Blaise and Theo sat. The two looked up from their coffees and laughed at Draco's sleepy state and Hermione's wide awake state. Draco sat down next to Theo and put his head down on the breakfast bar while Hermione went over and got two cups of coffee. She handed one to Draco which he took gratefully and then sat down next to Blaise and sipped her own.

"Well I think this shall be a breakfast we'll have to put down in the books." Blaise said with a grin.

"Why?" Hermione asked in a confused tone.

"Because Draco's actually here of course!" Theo said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Piss off" Draco said in a husky, I-just-woke-up tone. The three burst out laughing at Draco making him glare weakly at them.

"Aw is Draco not a morning person?" Hermione asked in a baby voice just for the hell of it.

"Oh he's a morning person that is as long as there's sex involved with the morning part." Blaise said smartly.

"What is it, pick on Draco day?" Draco asked in an exasperated tone. He was slowly waking up.

"Ya" all three of them said at once.

"Fine then I won't make you breakfast." Draco said with a smirk while getting up, coffee still in hand.

"No, we'll stop picking on you." Theo said with wide eyes. He'd experienced Blaise's cooking one too many times and he didn't know if Hermione could cook.

"Thought so. So eggs, bacon and pancakes?" Draco asked.

"Add some hash browns and we're good to go." Blaise said while leaning back. It was still a mystery to everyone as to where Draco learned to cook but then again nobody cared much.

As Draco passed Hermione he leaned down and whispered in her ear. "You know I'm normally a morning person but I was doing just so much work on you last night." And with that he went over to make breakfast.

About half an hour later the four of them were all getting dressed for the day to come. All four of them dressed simply. Hermione wore a light blue skirt that came to about mid thigh and a white tanktop. Draco wore black basketball shorts that had a dark green stripe up the sides and a dark green tee. Blaise opted for the red basketball shorts and a white tee and Theo opted for dark blue basketball shorts and a light blue tee. Next came the things you would do in the washroom. The four stood in the LARGE main bathroom brushing their teeth and doing their hair. Draco simply combed his out and then ruffled it up a bit. Blaise worked efficiently to spike his hair perfectly and Theo just combed his out. Hermione on the other hand cast a straightening spell on her hair and then cast another spell that made the ends of her hair curl some to add a more bouncy look. She parted her hair at the side and then smiled at it. Next she put on some light makeup including masquera, eyeliner and some lipgloss. Once done Hermione went into the sitting room where the guys were and sat down next to Draco.

"So how about we go out today? I could show you around the area and take you to do some shopping. Then tonight all four of us could meet in the plaza for the annual firework show for the Italian Magical Independence Day." Draco said as he wrapped his arm around Hermione's shoulders while she leaned onto him.

"That sounds wonderful." Hermione replied with a smile. The two stood up from the sofa they were sitting on and made their way to the closet. Both put on their shoes and then exited from the penthouse.

"This place is so beautiful." Hermione said while looking around at the plaza.

"Not nearly as beautiful as you are however." Draco said with a grin. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Hermione smiled and turned around in his arms. She gave him a light kiss on the lips and then Draco apparated them to the magical shopping area called Palazzo Del Negozio. Italian witches and wizards passed by the couple as Hermione looked around. This place was even bigger than Diagon Alley. When they said Palazzo Del Negozio they really meant it. The place in which they were now standing in was in fact a large palace but instead of normal palace rooms there were shops of all kinds. Without Hermione even noticing Draco led her into a quiet jewelry store. There was a reason it was so quiet. The jewelry in there was very expensive and few could afford it.

"Whatever you want you get" Draco said quietly in her ear.

"Oh no Draco I can't." Hermione replied with wide eyes turning to look at him.

"Yes you can and you will or I will for you." Draco replied with raised eyebrows.

"You do that. I can't ask you to buy me something expensive. I'm not that kind of girl." Hermione said.

"And so you find one of the many qualities that I love about you. I know that you're not after me for my money like many girls are." Draco said with a smile. Silently he led her over to the display cases that held the many beautiful and expensive necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and watches.

They were looking at some unique diamond and silver necklaces when a man approached them. "Mister Malfoy what a pleasure to see you again!" the man said in a thick Italian accent. The couple turned and Hermione found herself in front of a middle aged man of about 6 feet with jet black hair, bright green eyes and thin build. The man was dressed in a nice black suit and looked very professional indeed.

"Ah Ricardo, pleasure to see you again." Draco replied curtly.

"I see you've brought a young maiden with you this time. Looking for a necklace to place around her pretty neck?" the man named Ricardo asked.

"We aren't sure exactly what type of jewelry to get but a necklace to go around her neck does sound good. What would you suggest?"

"Ah personally I'd get this one." Ricardo pointed to a necklace in the middle of them all. It had a silver chain with a simple diamond dragon as the charm. The dragon's eyes were made of emeralds. "The emeralds to go along with the house you were in whilst in Hogwarts of course."

"I like it but what do you think Hermione? It's for you after all." Draco asked turning towards his girlfriend.

"Oh Draco you know you don't have to get me anything." Hermione said.

"You're not getting out of it, love. I'm getting you something and that's that." Draco smiled. "Now what do you think of this."

Hermione sighed in defeat. "It's beautiful and I love it but personally I think it should have ruby eyes instead of emeralds. I was a Gryffindor after all and I know for a fact that you have a necklace exactly like this and why do I get the feeling that you planned this all?"

Ricardo and Draco laughed. "You have a smart one there Mister Malfoy. I'll just take this out of its case. A simple charm can change the eyes from emeralds to rubies."

"Thank you" Draco said, laughter in his eyes.

"I hate you, you know." Hermione said, glaring at him. "But then I can't help from loving you as well…" Her expression softened and she kissed him softly before turning towards Ricardo who had finished changing the eyes of the dragon and was now ringing it up.

"Shall you be paying cash or debit?" Ricardo asked.

"Debit, I will never in a million years carry around thousands of galleons" Draco replied, handing over his debit card.

Hermione's eyes went wide. "Please tell me this isn't worth thousands of galleons. Oh Draco how many times do I have to tell you I don't want you spending a bunch of money on me?"

Draco just laughed and took his card back. He took the necklace from Ricardo and went behind Hermione. He moved her hair to the side and placed the necklace around her neck. After fastening it he put her hair back and went in front of her. The necklace rested just above her cleavage.

"Beautiful." Draco smiled at her and kissed her softly before leading her out of the store to continue their shopping.
