Chapter 27: Big Question & Infinity

Info you need to know: "Talking"

~The Next Day. Saturday 3rd November 2012 ~

Hermione woke up feeling content. The sun was shining on her face, making her wake up all natural. She smiled as she stretched her arms up and over her head. The other girls' were still asleep, except for Pansy who was probably lurking somewhere in the castle, trying to find something new to ruin her and Draco's relationship. Hermione decided she didn't really care at all about Pansy. Not after she tried to break her and Draco apart.

Hermione shook the negatives thoughts about Pansy out of her head. Shook all thoughts about Pansy out of her head and threw her duvet off her body and got up. She quickly and quietly got dressed and then tip-toed down the stairs trying not to make any sound, not wanting to wake up the other girls'.

She got down in the prefect's common room to find that only Draco was awake, his back turned to her so she could see the back of his luscious bleached blonde hair. She grinned evilly and tip-toed as quietly as she could over to him. She reached out her hands to put over his eyes but before she could he gripped her wrists, gently and pulled her towards him so she tumbled over the sofa and into his lap. Once she landed safely on his lap she looked up to see his smirking face.

"Thought you could sneak up on me, Granger?" Draco whispered, still smirking smugly. She grinned up at him, feeling playful this morning. How lucky Draco was.

"We're back to last names now, Malfoy?" Hermione said softly back, inching closer to her.

"Just reminiscing about the old times, Granger." Draco whispered as he watched Hermione slowly get closer and closer to him. He watched her lips hungrily and she smirked at that.

"I prefer the present times, Malfoy. After all there's less hate between us." Hermione whispered back, making their lips inches apart. Their faces were so close together that Draco could feel Hermione's warm breath on his face and vice versa.

"Mm, true. Less hate and more love." Draco said and Hermione smiled at that and finally, putting Draco out of his misery kissed him. He smiled into the kiss, loving the feeling of her soft lips against his. He had wrapped his arms around her and she had landed so that her legs were either side of his. Her hands glided their way up to his hair and she dug her hands into his soft hair, playing absentmindedly with it.

Draco gently pushed Hermione back on the sofa so that they were now lying down. Hermione on the bottom and Draco towering over her but making sure not to hurt or crush her in anyway. Draco ran his lips along her bottom lip, asking for entrance which she gladly gave him. He explored her mouth before their tongues battled in dominance and like always Draco won. Draco roamed his hands down her body, leaving the places he touched tingle.

Hermione kept one hand dug in his hair and let the other glide down his chest, making him shiver in delight. They would've kept on kissing until they no longer could but someone clearing their throat made them jump in fright and thus break apart. They looked up to behind the sofa to see Harry looking down at them, an eyebrow raised, his eyes smirking amusedly at them.

"Interrupting am I?" Harry asked, trying hard not to snicker. Hermione blushed and gently pushed Draco off her so she could sit up. He sighed as he let her push him away and sat up next to her.

"Yes, Potter." Draco snapped then murmured under his breath 'stupid Potter ruining my fun'. Harry rolled her eyes at his muttering and Hermione playfully slapped his arms and he pouted at her and she just laughed at him.

"You guys need to get a room." Harry joked, Hermione blushed and Draco rolled his eyes but then he smirked.

"We will get a room, after graduation. A big one in my Manor." Draco said, smirking smugly. Hermione raised her eyebrow at that and turned to face him, smiling slightly.

"Are you asking me to move in with you after graduation, Draco?" Hermione asked softly, her heart beating fast at that idea. Draco looked back at her, staring at her intensely his eyes showing how serious he was.

"No, I'm asking you to marry me before graduation." Draco said confidently even though he was just as nervous inside as Hermione was. He was worried that she would say no but on the other hand he knew she loved him. But did she love him enough? He sure has hell hoped so.

"You're what?" Hermione asked quietly, stunned. She heard him perfectly that wasn't he problem, she was just shocked that Draco Malfoy, pureblood who had teased and taunted her and whom she had hated for years, was asking her Hermione Granger, mudblood, the person he had hated for years and teased endlessly. She had been shocked when he said that she loved her, she was hundred times more shock now that he was proposing!

"You heard me, 'Mione. Will you marry me before graduation?" Draco asked, his confidence slowly seeping away from him with each second she didn't answer the big question.

"Eh, I'm going to go see if Ginny's awake." Harry said awkwardly, both of them had forgotten he was present. Draco ignored him and Hermione nodded vaguely in his direction. He grinned and rolled his eyes at the way Hermione was so focused on Draco. She really was in love. But he knew that this was a very private moment so he left. Not that Hermione or Draco noticed.

"'Mione? Now would be good to answer the question, you know like you do with every other questioned ever asked." Draco said teasingly though he was hoping Hermione didn't hear the worry in his voice like he did. She shook her head and looked Draco in the eyes. Now back in the real world instead of dream land. She smiled at him and nodded enthusiastically as she leaned down close to him. He didn't say anything wondering if she was going to add a verbal reply but all she did was keep leaning down and he didn't protest but instead met her half way.

"Yes, Draco. Of course I will!" Hermione murmured against his lips and Draco smiled into the kiss and deepened it. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. As close as physically possible. He pulled her into his lap and let his hands rest around her waist, while Hermione let hers trail up his chest until they found his hair and dug into it. Loving the soft feeling of it.

They continued to kiss for a few more minutes until they could no longer breathe. They broke apart smiling like maniacs and Draco rested his forehead against hers. They said nothing as their ragged breathes slowly went back to normal.

"Sorry." Draco murmured suddenly, after his breathe was pretty much back. Hermione frowned confusedly, tilting her head to the side in a way that Draco found to be adorable.

"Sorry for what?" she asked, sounding just as confused as she looked.

"That wasn't a very romantic proposal." Draco murmured once more, for some reason not being able to make his voice go louder. Hermione smiled softly at him and moved a piece of his hair away from his eyes.

"True, you could have been more romantic, taking me out to dinner or something like that. But this was romantic. It was very much a 'Draco' proposal and that's the best there is. It was you and I loved it." Hermione said smiling brilliantly at him, he smiled back and captured her lips once more, but this time for a brief kiss. "Now, where's my ring?" Hermione asked grinning and Draco couldn't help but smile back at his gorgeous girl.

"I don't have it right now. In the Malfoy family we hand down the rings. My mother is supposed to give me her engagement ring soon, so when she does you'll have one. My father will pass his down to me too. Soon. Until then think off this as a temporary engagement ring." Draco said apologetically, she was about to say she didn't mind but paused when he shuffled slightly. Removing one hand from her waist while tightening the other so she didn't fall off as he lifted himself of the couch slightly so he could get to his pocket.

He pulled out of his pocket a simple black box with a blue ribbon on it. Hermione wondered what it was and Draco smiled as he watched her gently take the box as if it was as fragile as glass. She opened it slowly and inhaled a gasp when she saw what was in it. He smirked knowing that he had done the right thing in getting it for her.

It was a simple silver chain necklace and it was the charm which was at the end of it which Hermione fell in love with. It was an infinity symbol. The one that looked like a sideways figure of eight. Hermione gently took it out and laid it on her palm, her eyes fixed on it as if she was in a trance, whereas Draco was looking solely at her. Liking her reaction. He took it from her and unclasped it and moved his arms around her neck and clasped it once more. He picked up her hair so that it was out of the necklaces chain and her hand went up to the infinity sign. She smiled once more at Draco and he smiled back tucking a piece of loose hair behind her ear.

In that moment in time both of them wished that time could stop and they could stay like this forever. Hermione on his lap smiling happily at him, tears of joy in her eyes. The Infinity necklace sparkling dazzlingly, resting on her neck. Draco smiling happily back at her, staring intensely at her, eyes filled with the most amount of love you could ever imagine. Right then and there Draco and Hermione couldn't be happier. Things were looking up for them. After all Draco had given her an infinity necklace. It was a symbol that his love for her would last for infinity.

All in all it seemed like a happy semi-ending. But of course all good things come to an end sooner a later. It was unbelievable how neither of them ever noticed when a person was skulking in the shadow of the corner. But once again someone was and they were withering with anger. They vowed to themselves that they would do something about this. They wouldn't let Draco and Hermione marry. Not over their dead body.

A/N: Just when you think Hermione and Draco were in the all clear, BAM! They're not. Of course it's not going to be all happy now, that'll be boring XD haha. They have to have at least some drama in their life, otherwise it's not realistic. Hehe, anyway I hope you liked this chapter. I apologise again for my lack of update, I'll try and not let it happen again! So did you guys think it's too soon for a proposal? Do you guys wish that it was more romantic? Please leave a review telling me what you thought. Thanks :3

P.S – HAPPY BIRTHDAY HITSUHINA FANATIC! I know I'm technically like three hours early but oh well! Hope you have a great day :)

Until next time – Tilda.
