SOOO CHAPTER 8! HOPE YOU ENJOY!
Once Hermione was out of the room Harry turned towards Draco.
"So Harry how is everything going with Ginny?" Draco said, knowing that Hermione was not yet informed that Ginny and Harry we getting very serious and Harry wanted Ginny to move in with him and Ron. Harry looked up at Draco.
"Oh I was just about to tell you. She is moving in with me and Ron next week." He said with a huge smile on his face. Draco glanced at Ron who didn't look so excited about the situation.
"Okay Ron, what was you're conditions for this to happen?" He said, holding back a chuckle. Unlike Harry who laughed at his comment.
"How did you know? And my only conditions were that, he keeps the snogging down to the minimal and, that him and her don't um-"He got cut off by Harry.
"That we don't shag." Ron looked disgusted and continued.
"Yeah that they don't do that when I'm home." At that comment, Draco was on the floor with laughter. He couldn't even comment on it because he was laughing so hard. He was still laughing when Hermione came in with coffee. She sat down on the couch and looked at her lover who was still sitting on the floor, leaning against the couch laughing.
"Well it seems you guys are getting along." Hermione said. Draco finally stopped laughing and sat down next to Hermione, rapping his arm around her waist as he did so.
"Yes, very much so." Surprisingly this comment came from Ron, Hermione was shocked. 'Well then I guess they are friends now, finally.' She said to herself as she smiled at Ron. Everyone had their own cup of coffee, but Hermione was still wondering why Draco was laughing so hard beforehand.
"So what was so funny?" she asked.
"We will tell you that after you tell us your story." Harry said, knowing this would annoy Hermione, but she would still tell the story now that she was reminded to do so.
"Fine. Well there is really no story to tell. After you guys left I overreacted about how Draco could possibly be so different from his father. I stormed out which was unnecessary, but I did. Anyway, I didn't go to your house because I thought Draco would know I was there. So I just kept walking, I stopped at a bench, and the next thing I knew Voldermort was behind me. Draco I guessed followed me and turned a rock into a port key. You know the rest of that part, seeing as I told Dumbledore.-" she took a long pause before she continued. "The port key took me to the woods behind our house. I was running towards the house when Draco grabbed my wrist to stop me. He had me sit on a log and he played his guitar and sang a beautiful song to me. I cut him off by attacking him with a hug. Then he got down on one knee, took out the ring, and proposed." She finished with the biggest smile on her face. Harry got up and gave Hermione a congratulation hug, and to Hermione's surprise, he gave Draco one as well. Ron did the same, which surprised Hermione even more. Now she was really curious about why they were getting along so well.
"Okay now your turn. I wanna know how you guys are getting along so well." Hermione said and Harry just smiled.
"Okay I know that me and Ron weren't thrilled about you and Draco at first but now, we realized that he really is a very nice guy. We have become friends and I'm glad." Harry said, Hermione was yet again surprised to hear Ron speak up next.
"Yeah 'Mione. He is a good friend and I'm glad you two are happy together." Ron said while sending Draco a smile, in which he returned.
"Oh Okay. And the laughing fit?" She added and Draco chuckled with Harry while Ron was emotionless.
"Well, Ginny is going to move in with me and Ron soon." Harry said and Hermione ran over to him giving him the biggest hug.
"Oh there's more. But I think I'll let Draco tell that part." Harry said with a laugh. Hermione walked back over and sat next to Draco. He chuckled a little bit before starting.
"Oh yeah well Ron's conditions for this to happen were, that they would keep a snogging down to a minimal, and that-" He started to laugh a little bit. "And that they wouldn't shag while Ron was home" At this Hermione started laughing too. Ron seemed angry that they were laughing but then started laughing again. After awhile Draco calmed down and so did everyone else. Draco got up, drawing attention to him.
"Harry, Ron, I know this isn't traditional per say. But I want both of you guys to be my best mates at the wedding. If you want I mean." For the first time Harry could tell that Draco was unsure of himself.
"I'd love to" Harry said while getting up and patting Draco on the shoulder.
"Wow mate, I would love to as well." Ron said, while doing the same as Harry, but on the opposite side of Draco. They all smiled at each other and then sat back down.
"Oh sorry guys but me and Ron got to go. We will see you guys tomorrow." Harry said and then Ron and Harry disappeared.
"That was nice of you." Hermione said. As she cuddled with Draco on the couch. With the flick of his wand, the dishes were gone.
"Nah, they are the only real friends I have anyway." He said, while swooping Hermione in his arms and walking up the stairs,
"Well this is a new way of telling me that its time for bed." She said while laughing, he then laughed quietly as well.
"Yes well, I can tell that your exhausted-" before he could finish his sentence she was sleeping in his arms. "You see my point." He said while smiling down at her. He placed her on her side of the bed and lay down with her in his arms. He silently fell asleep, dreaming of the girl he loved.
The next morning, Hermione woke up, feeling a strong arm wrapped around her waist. She loved this feeling, and she loved it was Draco who she had this feeling with. Somehow he still made her nervous, she didn't know how or why, but somehow she got butterflies when she woke up in his arms. When she turned to see if he was up, he was starring down at her, with a big smile on his face.
"Morning beautiful." He said and kissed her check. He slowly got out of bed but Hermione grabbed his wrist before he could walk away.
"Where are you going?" she asked, sounding very tired.
"To get us some breakfast." He said but Hermione pulled him towards the bed making him fall onto it.
"No need." She said while pulling down on his collar to make him kiss her. When they broke apart there were two trays sitting on the edge of the bed, one for her, and one for him.
"When did you put a spell for breakfast in bed?" he asked while his silver eyes were shinning.
"Last night, when I went to get the coffee" she said, lightly kissing him once again.
"Brightest witch of our age indeed." He said and then went to eat. As they were eating, a dark brown owl came tapping on the bedroom window.
"Do you recognize the owl?" Hermione asked. Draco shook his head, but got up to receive the letter. The letter was all black, which Hermione recognized. She signaled for Draco to come back towards the bed, he did so. He sat on the edge of the bed and Hermione scooted towards him.
"Don't open it." She said and he froze for a second then turned towards Hermione.
"Why not?" He thought he sounded dumb but he didn't care.
"Because. Just because Voldermort can't set foot in this town doesn't mean he can't owl here. For all we know it could be a port key. That is the same kind of letter I received when I was informed of him killing my parents." A tear ran down her face and Draco dropped the letter and turned towards her even more, wiping her tears away with his thumb.
"Okay I won't open it. But we got to tell Harry and Ron about this." He said while pulling her into a hug. She placed her head on his shoulder. And he put his head on top of hers.
"Well it's almost 10 we can go now." She said, pulling away slightly. The next thing she knew, they were in Harry and Ron's living room. She guessed that Draco operated them there.
"Nice of you to knock." Ron said, with a smile on his face. His smile faded when he realized this was not a social visit.
"What's going on?" He asked and Draco just sat on the couch with Hermione. "HARRY!" Ron called. Harry came rushing downstairs and realized why he got called like that.
"What's going on?" he said and Draco took the letter out of his pocket.
"Me and Hermione received this letter today. It was a dark brown owl who was carrying it." Draco said, Harry frowned and sat down. Draco could tell Harry knew more then the rest of them.
"T-that i-is Voldermort's o-owl." He couldn't believe that it was true but Harry knew better then anyone, whose owl was Voldermort's.
"We figured as much. We didn't open it. Hermione thought it might be a port key."
"Good thinking. But that letter is no port key." Harry said. Draco looked confused so Harry finished. "If it was a port key my scar would hurt. You see, because if I was indeed a port key, Voldermort would be connected to the letter more. But my scar is not burning, so you are safe to open it." He finished.
'I got to hand it to Harry. He has learned a lot over the years.' Hermione thought and then smiled up at Harry, she also took the letter from Draco. "Okay Harry I'm trusting you." She said and then opened the letter, it read
Dearest Mudblood and blood traitor,
I'm glad to inform you that I, Lord Voldermort, can send letters to you seeing as that doesn't not make me step foot in your town. No matter how long you hide, I will have you and you little friends in coffins soon enough.
-Voldermort.
"Wow" Hermione said. Draco immediately threw the letter in the fireplace but Hermione was not upset about that.
"He doesn't scare me" Hermione said, at this comment everyone's head turned towards her. "I mean, I rather be who I am, then who he is." She added and they all smiled at her. Before another word was spoken the same dark owl came to Harry and Ron's window. Without a second thought, Harry threw the letter into the fire.
"He will not control me anymore." Harry said and then Hermione gave Harry the biggest hug.
"If you guys don't mind, I think I'm going to get Ginny from school early. I want her to be protected as well." And with that Harry walked off to get his love.
