Chapter 23, guys! I forgot to mention in the story, that Ginny put a spell on her stomach, so that no one could tell that she was pregnant. And I'm having major Writer's Block at The moment!

"I have to get back at him… How dare he put the Greengrass family to shame…? Oh he will pay, alright… He will pay!" Astoria thought to herself as she sat in her home's lounge.

Astoria picked up the phone when an amazing idea struck her.

"Hello?" The person asked

"It's Astoria Greengrass…" she spoke

"Oh… yeah did you come up with something…?" the man on the other side of the phone asked her

"Mhmm… It requires kidnapping, crucio and possibly a killing curse…" She smirked

"Hmm… I like that idea, already, I'll meet you outside your house in a bit," He said sounding malevolent

They hung up the phone. "Hm… Draco just watch what I'm going to do…" Astoria smirked

"Ohhh, Hermione, I'm so happy for you! You're so lucky!" Ginny squealed

"Thank you Ginny," Hermione smiled, "I'm so excited, I can't wait…"

"So, Mione, did Cormac or Astoria ever talk to you or Draco again…?" Ginny asked, worried and curiosity spreading across her face

"No… Not recently, but I think that one time was enough…" Hermione said remembering what happened with Astoria, Draco and her

"HOW DARE YOU, DRACO?" Astoria screamed

"I don't love you, and you already knew that… We don't have anything to discuss anymore so just leave!" Draco said angrily, but he was doing his best to keep his voice level down

"LET ME TELL YOU! THAT MUDBLOOD OF YOURS, SHE'S GOING TO GET IT… I TOLD YOU TO WATCH OUT AND TO LISTEN TO WHAT I WAS SAYING… JUST REMEMBER ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR POOR MUDBLOOD, IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT!" Astoria shouted, kicking over a stool

"OH Goodness, that was the worst, she hasn't done anything yet, though… So it's all good isn't it, and Cormac well he's moved on right?" Ginny asked

"Yeah, it's fine, really," Hermione smiled "Anyways I have to go pack, Ginn, Draco's taking me tomorrow, but I don't even know where we are going…" Hermione smiled

"You never told me, you were going anywhere!" Blaise said

"Well… I just planned it…" Draco said rolling his eyes

"Well she's my sister you should tell me, even she didn't tell me, our parents don't even know…"

"Well, we're going pretty soon, I'll tell them now!" Draco said, getting sick of Blaise interrupting his thoughts

"Where are you going though? Blaise asked

"Uhm, Italy, America, other places…" Draco listed

"That's a lot of places… How long are you going for?" Blaise asked

"Oh, four months?" Draco shrugged

"That's a long time!" Blaise said angrily

"So?" Draco said, "Hermione agreed to go!" Draco rolled his eyes and left the room

"WOW, Draco… THIS IS ROME!" Hermione said breathless, looking out the window of her splendid Hotel room.

"I know, Mia, I brought you here…" Draco smirked

"Funny…" Hermione rolled her eyes

"Oh this is amazing… Thank you Draco, I'm so happy I agreed to this vacation!" Hermione embraced her boyfriend, "Let's go out…?"

"Why don't we sit here… lie here for a bit…" Draco smirked winking at his girlfriend

Hermione thought for a bit then realized she did need some sleep, "Well, I guess I am kinda tired…"

"Hm… I figured, let's give you a massage?" Draco beamed

"Oh please…" Hermione said falling to her bed into a deep sleep.

Half an hour had passed by before Draco had realized Hermione had fallen asleep. "Ugh… HERMIONE!" Draco shouted

"What?" She mumbled, waking up

"You fell asleep…"

"Well you told me… I could rest, gosh!" Hermione said half-awake, half-asleep

"That's not really what I meant… I meant..."

"Oh… sorry, Draco…" Hermione mumbled

"It's ok… I'm tired to now…" Draco said yawning

"Good, because you woke me up from a great sleep… Loser!" Hermione muttered, "I'll deal with you after I wake up…"

"Draco…" Hermione shook him, to wake him up, "Draco…"

She was getting extremely irritated; she wanted to leave the hotel so they could travel around Rome.

"Ugh that's it," She summoned a glass with ice cold water in it, "Here goes nothing!" Hermione giggled silently

The water splashed half on his face, and half on his bare chest.

"AHH, WHAT, WHAT?" Draco shouted

Hermione couldn't hold her laughter, she held on to her stomach, and wiped the tear welling in her eyes away.

"You think this is funny?" Draco said angrily

"I was just trying to wake you up, Draco… I want to go out…" Hermione pouted

"Ugh, why couldn't you just shake me?"

"You wouldn't wake…" Hermione said quietly

Draco walked towards her his lips turning into a mischievous smirk. "What happened… Draco?" Hermione asked suddenly scared

"Oh I'm going to get you, sweetheart!" Draco laughed

"Oh, no you aren't" Hermione said running from behind the bed, giggling

"Oh yes I am!" Draco lunged towards Hermione and pinned her to the wall

Draco kissed her sweetly. He licked his lips and gently bit into the skin on her neck. She moaned loudly, saying his name. "Draco… Dracooo," Draco smirked as he held onto her waist, his finger fumbled with the knot on her halter top. Her hands were holding onto his hard bare chest. He pushed her on the bed, and ran his lips down her neck, until they were distracted by a knock on the door.

"Ugh!" Draco groaned, but he didn't stop his kisses

"Dracooo… stop!" Hermione said, out of breath, "Get… the… door…"

When Draco opened the door, an Italian man with curly hair was at his door, with a cart. "Hello, Mr. Malfoy, I've brought your wine and some other complimentary treats…" The man had an Italian accent

"Dracooo… who is it…?" Hermione's voice still sounded breathless

"Sir, I'll take these inside, alright…" He said

"Hello, Ma'am," The man nodded, charmingly

"Oh… Hello," Hermione said awkwardly, since she was sprawled on the bed

"We have wine, champagne, and we're brought you breakfast…" The man said looking only at Hermione.

Draco was scowling at the man. "Oh by the way, my name is Giovanni, if you need anything, anything, I'm just a ring away…" He spoke to Hermione, and before he left he winked at her

"What the fuck was that?" Draco asked angrily

"What happened, Draco…?"

"That asshole, he was flirting with you!" Draco yelled, "I'm going to go get him!"

"Draco… Leave it… Please!" Hermione said, holding on to Draco's collar, "For me…"

"Hermione… Please… Don't… I just love you… You know I don't want anything or anyone to get in our way…" Draco kneeled down, holding his girlfriends hand

"Draco… I love you too," Hermione's eyes welled up in tears
