A/N: Hey all, ah I love reviews they're so good. So there is something I'd like to do and that's dedicate this chapter to someone, unfortunately there are 3 people who equally deserve it and I did want to put one before the others so they're all going to have to go on one chapter.

So, this chapter goes out to,

SupastarEden- Eden has been around since chapter three, so in short she's been with me for probably, about a year and a half, and she still manages to find things to say...

Hotkat144- Has also been with me a long time and reviews every chapter, I think, which in my books makes you pretty cool!!

Yoyen007- Ah, this one just cracks me up on a regular basis and now she's reading my mind...

Ok I've decided to start replying to reviews again...

Hotkat144- Ah you shall see...

.dope.sick.- I hope you finish, I've never really known why I like them together, but it is really random so I understand where you're coming from. I try Draco mean but it just doesn't work for me...but it is hot!

StarryKnight46- (Bows to applause) thank you, always glad to hear about what people think.

Blue-Stardust- Any pureblood would be funny, but because it's Draco it doubles the fun...YAY!

Yoyen007- DH was the best book by far, and lawn mowers was totally random...it was the first thing that jumped into my head. And can you read minds?

FairyPrincessWithATwist- Where did Lucius go? Good question...we'll see...

Erytha- Updating right...now!

Brie H- I agree, the Epilogue wasn't that great but it has left it wide open for next generation fics...maybe JK did it on purpose, who could ever get inside that brilliant mind?

Bluebaby3296- Thank you!

SupastarEden- Eden, I've already sent you a response, but just to reiterate I AM SO JELOUS OF YOU!

Disclaimer- Nope I don't own any more of HP than I did last time.

Where We Left Off At The House

Draco's mouth fell open into a perfect O, and then he started to yell and point at the spot he was looking, causing Hermione to panic and shut off the mower.

"What, what is it?" She asked looking desperately for blood or an injured limb, there was nothing.

"It...It's...its" Draco stuttered making Hermione even more flustered and panicked.

"What?" she asked her voice starting to tremble with emotion.

"It's gone" Draco said sounding utterly astounded.

"DRACO MALFOY" Hermione screamed, before reaching out and smacking him fair in the jaw. Draco howled in pain clutching his jaw in both hands, his eyes welling up with tears of pain.

"What was that for?" He said in a pained, wobbly voice, tears starting to fall down his face.

"You scared the crap out of me, I thought I'd run over your foot you fucking idiot" Hermione said starting to recover from her former state of complete and utter panic.

"Did you have to punch me?" Draco asked.

"Yes," she answered her eyes still a little wild, "go inside, just get away from me before I feel the need to do it again."

Draco backed away with amazing speed running into his room and collapsing on his bed causing him to yell obscenities when he hit his jaw on the wooden edge. Outside he heard Hermione restart the mower and he could just see her pushing it down the backyard.

Draco stayed on his stomach on his bed for a good deal of time before he decided he'd have another try at the internet thing. He got on and signed into the msn account Hermione had made him earlier that week and looked at his contacts. He laughed when he saw Potter was online.

Draco-M: hey Potter how's Pansy?

Scarboy: She's fine Malfoy...why don't you just talk to her?

Draco-M: And how do you suggest I do that?

Scarboy: Hi Draco! It's Pansy, Harry is letting me use his account until I get my own.

Draco-M: You understand this stupid contraption? I don't get it...

Scarboy: well I have been practicing...what Granger not teaching you?

Draco-M: Um well she's a bit pissed with me at the moment...

Scarboy: why?

Draco-M: well the grass was getting long and I couldn't understand why (apparently grass grows) so she explained and then she got this thing out of the shed in the garden...I think it's called a lawn mower...and she pulled this string and it roared, like an angry dragon, and then she moved it and the grass was gone. So I was shocked and yelled and she thought she'd run over my foot or something...and then she punched me in the face! It bloody hurt too...

Scarboy: First Harry is laughing at you, so am I and second good on her I would've done the same thing if you'd scared me like that.

Draco-M: I didn't do it on purpose!

Scarboy: Oh I know but still if that thing cuts stuff (Harry has just explained it to me) then she probably thought you were seriously injured or something...Harry is still laughing

Draco-M: It's not fucking funny Potter...

Scarboy: Yes it is Malfoy...Harry just commandeered the letter button thing...

Draco-M: Look I'm going to and make some dinner...try and suck up as it were

Scarboy: Later...Malfoy be good to her or I will kill you...

Draco-M: Good evening Potter, Luv you Pansy.

Draco logged off and made his way to the kitchen, he picked up a tin of tomato pasta sauce then he looked in the cupboard grabbed what looked like straight spaghetti and got mince out of the fridge. He then grabbed all the things he needed to make spaghetti, which Hermione had taught him last week at some point.

Just as Draco was finishing up he heard the lawn mower stop and Hermione grunt as she pulled it back to the shed. Then the sliding door opened behind him and Hermione walked up behind him.

"Looks good. I'm just going to have a shower ok?" She said; when Draco turned around and saw her he understood why she needed a shower. Hermione was covered from head to toe in grass clippings, dirt and sweat; Draco nodded and turned the frying pan full of meat down so it could simmer.

Malfoy Mansion

Narcissa looked as the little mudblood walked past the hall camera and into the bathroom for the second time that day. She was filthy, not that it was any real surprise, but Narcissa got the idea that Draco was getting along with her. This worried her.

"Cissy, I can take over again now" Lucius' drawl filled the room, he was wearing clean robes and his hair was windswept.

"Ok, nothing really happened except, that mudblood needed to have two showers but that is understandable" Narcissa said rising from the chair and allowing her husband to get comfortable. Then she left the room without another word, Lucius was left to himself once again.

That mudblood, she thinks she can get the better of me, but I know about her, what she and Draco do, their routine and that ball they'll be attending in a few weeks. I will have what I want, even if I have to wait.

Lucius fingered the flier in his fingers, he had taken it off the fridge while he had been at the house; Dumbledore might be watching the house but what about everywhere else.

The Dark Lord will be impressed, and Draco will receive his mark this summer. I am in the inner circle and my son shall follow me if he wishes to live.

A/N: I know it's short but I'm out of time and thoughts so this is where it ends for now. I have something romantic in mind for the next chapter, which, should be up before the end of the week. REVIEW!!

Much love and later dayz
