A/N: Wow! I haven't updated in a while. I am so sorry, time has just been flying by lately. To make it up to every one I will definately update again this month. There is only one more chapter left then the Epilogue.

Also, I'm working on a new fic, so I wanted your input. For Draco and Hermione's 1st kiss should it be a) under the mistletoe b)in the middle of an argument or c) when they get drunk together. I know you don't know the plot of the story, but which scenario would you most enjoy reading. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 30 – Together At Last

It was the third weekend in April, and many students could be found wandering the grounds on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Hermione, Ginny and Pansy were among them. Hermione and Ginny were telling her about the eventful day when Ron found out about both Ginny and Hermione's secrets.

"Poor Ron," Pansy said, after they had finished.

"Poor Ron! Poor us!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Be fair, he had to hear about both of you in one day."

"Good point," Hermione added in.

" 'mione, you're supposed to be on my side."

"I'm not taking any sides, but Ron is going crazy. Remember that closet he found you

in?"

"Yeah, he thinks it's jinxed."

"Exactly, he won't go near it, he makes us take the long way to charms every class!"

The three girls laughed, and Ginny began to smirk a brilliant idea in her mind. "Hey Pansy, you like Ron, right?" she asked casually.

"Er, yeah."

"Well, being the great friend you are, you wouldn't mind doing us a favour, would you?"

"Sure, what do you want me to do?"

"Kiss Ron," Ginny replied simply.

"Ok, I lost you."

"I know my brother, and he totally has a thing for you. So if you kiss him in that broom closet he can't think it's jinxed."

Pansy stopped walking with her mouth open, while Hermione began to laugh. "Gin, where to you get all these crazy ideas?"

Ginny ignored Hermione, "Well, are you in Pansy?"

"Yeah," she said finally.

That evening Hermione had decided to stray from the common room, due to a very angry Ron. She walked up to the girls' dormitory to continue studying for her upcoming exams. When she got there she found an owl awaiting her. She hurried over to the window, and untied the two pieces of parchment attached to its leg.

Hermione read the first letter, which was addressed to Draco. It was from Madeline Dolohov regarding the end of their engagement. Hermione read the letter twice in amazement. Then she opened the second piece of parchment

Hermione,

I hope you have already read the other letter, if not please read it before continuing this one.

I'm sure you know what this means. After receiving this letter I was even happier to get a letter from my father (my father only writes to deliver bad news, so this was an obvious exception). He informed me that he and my mother were getting a divorce (finally). I have a favour to ask you. Meet me outside the library in fifteen minutes. I won't take no for an answer.

Draco

Hermione squealed from excitement. She than ran to the door ready to meet him, but before she got there she looked down at what she was wearing. She had already changed from her school robes into her sweats. She glanced at her closet and quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and pretty floral shirt.

After that she hurried down the stairs, only stopping to say goodbye to Harry. But as she glanced around the common room, she couldn't find him so she continued on her way.

***

Once she had arrived at the library, she found that he was not there. Instead she found a note had been stuck on the door along with a single scarlet rose. She opened the note and read it. It had only contained two words, Great Hall.

She went there next, curious of what he had planned. Once at the door of the great hall, she saw that there was no note on the door. Excitedly she entered, expecting him to be there. But she was left disappointed. She looked around, and instead found another rose left at her usual seat at the Gryffindor table.

Hermione picked up the rose and read the letter attached. Once again, there were only two words, Quidditch Pitch. Hermione sighed and then made her way outside. She was dying of curiosity.

She entered the quidditch pitch and gasped at the sight. There was a blanket laid out in the centre of the pitch with a picnic basket on to of it. Candles surrounded the blanket, each floating at a different height above the grass.

Hermione walked over toward the blanket. The candles separated to let her through, then returned to their original position. On top of the basket was a bouquet of roses and another note! This one only contained a single word, Surprise!

"Do you like them?"

Hermione jumped, nearly dropping the flowers. She spun around to find Draco watching her. "They're lovely," she replied smiling at him. Then within five seconds she had dropped they flowers and was kissing him.

***

"This is so romantic," said Hermione as they sat beneath the stars, eating the picnic he had set up for her. "Thank you."

"Well, I had help. Blaise gave me the idea and Potter helped set up.

"Harry helped!" She exclaimed.

"And Weasel got the food from the kitchens. I think he felt bad about earlier, he even attempted an apology to Blaise" Draco added.

Hermione sat there in shock. Her best friends had helped! No wonder she didn't see them in the common room. "Where are they now?" she asked curiously.

"You'll see," he said grinning. As if on cue, a firework display started within the pitch. Brightly coloured lights not only shot into the air, but danced around the pitch. Hermione beamed and planted another kiss on Draco's lips, but they were quickly interrupted by a voice in the distance.

"Hey you lot are supposed to be helping with the fireworks," Ron snapped. He was about to continue, but something or someone shut him up. Hermione looked at Draco, and then simultaneously they got up and went behind the platform of seats and found three kissing couples.

Ginny and Blaise were backed into a corner, as were Harry and Luna. Both had obviously ditched their stations. Ron was standing in the middle with Pansy, a firework still in his hand.

Hermione laughed, then Draco shot small orbs of light from his wand towards the couples. "Wow, that was really advanced magic Draco. We wouldn't learn that…" Hermione began. Draco made a face at her, of course she would be thinking about school. He then grabbed her, lifting her off the ground, and kissed her.

A/N: There's a bit of fluff for every one. By the way has anyone seen/read twilight. I've read the 1st book and it was awesome, but I haven't seen the movie yet. Can't wait!! There was a point to this second A/N, but I can't remember...oh yeah Review!!

The next morning everyone was in a good mood. Hermione and Ginny were on their way down to breakfast when they heard a noise. They looked around and realized it was coming from a door a few feet ahead of them.

"I wonder what that could be," Ginny said smirking.

"But I thought we decided to ditch the plan, now that Ron has cooled off."

"We did," said Ginny before opening the door of the broom closet, revealing Pansy and Ron. Both looked up, and Pansy turned beet red.

"Ron you were right!" Ginny exclaimed, "This closet is jinxed, I bet Dumbledore set it up to promote house unity."

"Yeah, it must really like Gryffindor and Slytherin couples," Hermione added. Then both girls burst out laughing before heading to the Great Hall.
