Hermione, Harry and Ron meet Professor McGonagall in the Gryffindor common room the day of the Ministry event. The boys were in dress robes and Hermione used an illusion charm on her outfit. McGonagall was also in dress robes and the four Gryffindors walked down the staircase to meet Draco and Severus at the entrance to the Great Hall. N.E.W.T.s were over so all the seventh years were outside enjoying the last few days at Hogwarts before the graduation ceremony, so they saw the group walk to the gates and apperated away.

The group arrived outside the Ministry doors and headed inside. Upon entering, Minister Weasley was there to greet them.

"Hello all, let's proceed to the banquet hall to get the ball rolling," Percy said.

Ushering the group through a door they were surrounded by Ministry and Order members alike.

"Good afternoon everyone. As you all know we are gathered here to celebrate five brave heroes. Two of which were spies for us and against all odds survived and helped bring He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named down. I would first like to recognize Professor Severus Snape, Potions Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and present him with the Order of Merlin 1st Class and a full pardon for all Death Eater activities he may have been made to do."

Applause went around for Severus before he had a chance to glare at the crowd, which sent them into a small fit of laughter.

"Next to Mister Draco Malfoy, Head Boy, I present you with an Order of Merlin 1st Class and also a full pardon," applause went around for Draco before Percy got to finish, "and we, the Ministry, and all of the Wizarding World would like to thank you for bringing down He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

This brought around an even louder applause for Draco. After presenting The-Boy-That-Lived and Ickle Ronniekins (who got a big hug from his older brother) it was Hermione's turn.

"And lastly, to Miss Hermione Granger, Head Girl, and brightest witch to ever enter Hogwarts since Rowena Ravenclaw herself, I award you the Order of Morgan 1st Class and the Order of Merlin 1st Class because without your help we would have never had the opportunity to bring him down."

A raucous applause went up and Hermione was in tears before it ended.

"Now to the festivities. You are all welcome to drinks, dancing, and food."

Music started up and it wasn't before long that Draco crossed the room towards Hermione.

"I made a request to Percy about the entertainment."

"Figures, the great Malfoy can't get over his ego," Hermione said with a slight giggle.

"Well, be ready because we're dancing the next song."

Hermione gave him a perplexed look, set down her glass of wine, and walked to the middle of the dance floor. Draco nodded at the stage and a familiar song started to play.

Remember the feelings

Remember the day

Hermione had tears in her eyes and stepped away from Draco long enough to remove the charm from her outfit. Draco stood in aww as his lioness was standing in front of him wearing a Slytherin green full-length gown.

"Wow," was all he said before the two lovers got swept up into the memories of their first dance together and the song that brought those memories back.

Draco and Hermione went back to the Heads dormitory for the last time. Graduation was full of tears and goodbyes. Hermione and Draco said the valedictorian speech together for they tied in their N.E.W.T. scores and set the record for the highest score. Harry proposed to Ginny while receiving his diploma and she said yes, after graduation next year. Ron, following Harry's lead, also proposed to Pansy. The two had been secretly dating since 5th year and Lavender was just a cover up because she and Blaise were dating. Draco sat down on the couch as Hermione went to her room. It wasn't long before he heard a call from his room. Pushing open his door he was meet with the sight of Hermione in an Emerald Green see through teddy.

"I think it's about time my brave little snake got a taste of his lioness," Hermione purred at him as she beckoned him with her index finger.

He was undressed and on the bed before she had the chance to lie back down. Slowly kissing her he worked his hands up and under the material and pulled it over her head revealing two voluptuous orbs of cream. Kissing his way down he caught one of the orbs in his mouth and gave it a flick with his tongue. This made her moan causing him to grow harder than he already was. Releasing it caused a slight protest before another moan escaped Hermione's mouth as he took the other one in his mouth and gave it the same amount of attention. Once releasing it Draco worked his way down to her core. Giving it a light kiss he then started to flick his tongue against her clit. It wasn't long before she orgasmed and Draco came up and caught her mouth in a fiery kiss. She could taste herself on his lips and it turned her on even more. Pushing him away slightly Hermione was barely able to say, "Now it's my turn."

Before he knew what was happening Hermione had taken all 8 inches into her mouth. Out of all the blowjobs Draco had gotten in the past this was by far the best. Hermione seemed to know all the places to lick and blow air on. Draco stopped her right before he came.

"Where did you learn to do that?" He asked her huskily.

"Where else? A book."

Draco just shook his head as he was being pulled down onto her. Hermione whispered a contraceptive spell before Draco had positioned himself at her entrance. He pushed into her slowly because he had found her maidenhead earlier. What shocked him was as he was letting her adjust to his size she had wrapped her legs behind him and pushed him in even further. They both let out a moan and it wasn't long before they had sat an even pace. Hermione matched him thrust for thrust and even tried to get him to go faster. Three orgasms later, Draco finally came as Hermione's 4th one hit her. Draco couldn't hold back anymore for each time her walls clamped down upon his shaft and she moaned his name it pushed him closer to the edge. Rolling over onto his side so he wouldn't crush her, Draco pulled her up against him and was about to drift off with her in his arms when he heard, "Tell me you love me."

"I love you Hermione Jane Granger," he sat up and reached into the nightstand and brought out a small box that he had bought the same day as the Ministry event, "And you would make me the happiest wizard ever if you would marry me."

Hermione turned away slightly which caused him to worry.

"Draco, the day you stole my heart was the day I had wished for you to ask me."

"So is that a yes," Draco asked slightly unsure.

"Of course that's a yes," Hermione said as she flung herself at him.

He put the ring on her finger and the two fell asleep in each other's arms but not before Draco said, "Now it's your turn to tell me you love me," and she did.
