Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Harry Potter, I always felt Hermione and Draco should have ended up together!

Hermione's POV:

Hermione finished her dance with Lex. He again told her that he was serious about having a position for her within his company and she should seriously consider it. Hermione thanked him and was a little overwhelmed. This definitely gave her food for thought as to if she should return to London permanently. Pavarti met up with her and said that it was safe to join them since Draco left. Hermione was relieved, yet a little disappointed. A part of her wanted to hate him, but she was hopelessly in love with him and did not know how she would react to his presence. She joined the others and the men were glad to see her. Ron appreciated how lovely she was, but there was no romantic connection. Ron felt like a brother to her. He and Gabrielle had broken up a few months ago and it looked like something was going to rekindle with him and Lavender. Harry hugged Hermione and they talked. He told her how miserable Draco had been and he wanted to know how Hermione felt. Hermione had tears in her eyes and she told Harry that she was so in love with him, but she could not take the senseless accusations. Harry said he thought that maybe Draco was seeing the error of his ways and was starting to believe that Hermione was faithful. He saw the way Draco was looking at her and it was actually heartbreaking. Who would have thought that he would ever feel bad that Draco Malfoy was heartbroken? Everyone decided that they had enough of Egg and headed home. Ginny went home with Harry for a quick shag and the others went to an all-night eatery for breakfast. Hermione enjoyed the company, but could not help feeling the heaviness in her heart for she missed Draco so much.

Draco's POV:

He arrived back at his home and shed his clothes for a pair of pajama bottoms. He stood by his bedroom window and looked at the full moon and wondered what Hermione was doing. The light of the moon illuminated his abs and he had no idea of how luscious he looked. He sighed and settled into bed. It was going to be a long night. The next evening was Harry and Ginny's engagement party and he did not know how he was going to get through it if Hermione continued to ignore him.

Hermione's POV:

Ugh, she hated feeling so confused. The ladies returned and shed their clothes and prepared to sleep into the day. Ginny looked like the cat who ate the canary, they all rolled their eyes and laughed at her. After all this time, she and Harry still could not keep their hands off of each other. Hermione loved that her friends were still so enamored of each other after all this time. They all needed their rest, there was the engagement party that evening. Hermione knew that Draco was going to be there. She knew that something was going to have to be resolved, she could not go on feeling like this. Ever the sensible one, she decided to rest as best she could and deal with whatever was thrown her way.

The ladies started stirring in the late afternoon and started to prepare for the engagement party. This was a formal affair at a very ritzy and romantic restaurant with a small dance floor. There was usually a band playing soft music. This was where Harry proposed to Ginny. Hermione decided to wear the "Indecent Proposal" black dress. She put her hair up in a loose chignon and let a few ringlets frame her face. When she came out, the ladies let out a wolf whistle and agreed that she wanted to make Draco lose his mind when he would see her. Hermione blushed and was modest about the way she looked. Lavender immediately recognized the dress as the one Demi Moore wore in the movie. She said she absolutely loved the movie. The ladies good-naturedly teased Lavender about willing to believe that she would sleep with someone for a million pounds. Lavender laughed it off and said she would definitely consider it if the bloke was hot. They all looked great and headed out the door to the restaurant.

Draco's POV:

He was a ball of nerves as he prepared for the engagement party. It frustrated him a great deal; he had always been in control. He dressed in a tailored Brooks Brothers suit he picked up while in the States. It was navy with small, barely there pinstripes. He had a crisp white shirt with a crimson tie to complete the ensemble. He could have been on the cover of GQ magazine. He took one final glimpse of himself in the mirror and left for the party.

Hermione's POV:

When the ladies arrived, most of the guests were there. Hermione was relieved to be seated by Bill and Fleur Weasley. She saw Draco and inhaled sharply when she saw how handsome he looked. Her stomach was in knots, but she managed to have a pleasant conversation with her dinner partners. Bill and Fleur could not get over how much she had changed. Fleur wanted to know all about the States, so she and Hermione were very engrossed in conversation. Despite this, Hermione could feel Draco's eyes boring into her.

Draco's POV:

Wow. Oh, Merlin. The way she looked in that dress. Just when he thought she could not be even more beautiful, she proved him wrong. He wanted to run up to her, drag her outside to an empty alley and shag her senselessly. He ended up being seated next to Ginny's father Arthur and her great aunt, Thelma. Draco graciously listened to Thelma's stories of her days at Hogwarts, but could not keep his eyes off of Hermione. He was going to have to fix this, he had to have her back, any way he could. The evening went on and as the guests finished their dinner, a few couples took to the dance floor. He noticed Hermione was alone, as Bill and Fleur got up to dance. He figured this was his opportunity.

Hermione's POV:

Her heart seemed to skip a few beats when she saw he was coming towards her. He took a seat next to her and said, "Please don't make me go away. I am so sorry for everything, I am a stupid prat! Can you forgive me? How can I make it up to you?" Hermione had tears in her eyes and she hugged him and said, "You are forgiven. I missed you so much." He pulled her closer to him and pressed his face into her neck. She absolutely melted feeling him again. He came back up and gave her a gentle kiss. The kiss deepened and they had to stop when they realized they were in a public place. Draco said, "Dance with me." She nodded and they headed to the dance floor.

When they arrived at the dance floor, the female singer of the band started singing "No Ordinary Love" by Sade. The woman's voice was amazingly similar to the actual singer of the song. Draco pulled her close and they stared into each other's eyes. This song so related to their relationship. Ginny nudged Harry and smiled. She said, "Looks like a certain couple patched up their differences." Harry was glad to see two people he truly cared about being so in love. Other patrons of the restaurant noticed the stunning couple and commented on how they looked at each as if they were the only couple on the dance floor. The song ended, yet they stayed on the floor still holding on to each other. Hermione gave a small laugh and said, "I think the song is finished." Draco smiled and said, "So it has. What do you want to do now?
Hermione said, "Well, I have never seen your house." Draco kissed her and said, "That can be arranged." They said goodbye to everyone and Draco almost ran out of the restaurant with her. Her friends were glad that they were finally together again and hoped this time it was for good.

Draco held her close and they apparated to his home. Hermione took a quick glance around and immediately felt comfortable in his house. He hugged her close and said, "You cannot imagine how happy I am. I missed you." She hugged him back and replied, "I love you, please let's not let anything petty come between us." He took her hand and led her to his bedroom. They sat on his bed and kissed. Slowly, she ended up beneath him. He said, "As much as I love you in that dress, I will love you even more without it!" He unzipped it and pulled it over her head. He moaned when he saw her in her undergarments which were bare scraps of black material. He tenderly removed them and sat back to admire her perfect body. She sat up and started taking off his clothes. They continued kissing. He moved down to her neck and planted small kisses. She moaned and said his name. She so missed the feel of his lips and hands. He made it to her breasts and suckled each one gently. She started kissing him and moved down his chest. He pulled her back up and gently pushed her down onto the bed. He moved on top of her. How he loved the feel of her bare breasts against his chest. They kissed more and he sucked on her bottom lip. He was rock hard and could not wait any longer. He positioned himself at her opening and slowly entered her. Hermione groaned in ecstasy, finally they were together again. They moved slowly and Draco had to stop a few times, he was ready to explode. They continued kissing and Draco's started thrusting faster. Hermione wrapped her legs around his waist and threw her hips up. Draco came with such force, she felt his seed shoot up in her. He rolled over and pulled her on top of him. He pushed her hair out of her face and said, "I love you." She told him that she loved him too. She performed a Scourgify charm to clean themselves up and snuggled against him. It wasn't long before Draco was aroused again and they made love. This happened a few more times until the morning.

"Reunited and it feels so gooooood!" Well, now that is resolved, will Hermione decide to stay in London or the States? Enjoy!
