Hi all! Mysteriouscharm pointed out that the last chapter was ironic. Could someone please point out the irony! I don't own anything except some characters and the plot.

It was Thanksgiving evening and Hermione had just gotten back from her long and grueling day. This would be the 10th time that she had woken up from her on-again off-again sleeping habits.

"Welcome back. Right on schedule too." Draco stated who was sitting next to her on a pouf.

Hermione giggled and yawned.

"You must forgive me."

"For what Draco?" asked Hermione, sitting up slightly.

"I've been watching you sleep for the past hour." Draco said with a smirk.

For some reason this didn't seem to bother Hermione in the way that it ought to. Shortly after Manning kicked.

"I think they're hungry. Can I please go and get something to eat?" Hermione questioned.

"I'm afraid not Miss Granger. You are on strict orders to stay in bed. But I'd be glad to get you something." Said Draco, standing up.

"I don't want to be confined to my bed for another second, it's too soft." Hermione whined.

Draco almost caved in when he remembered his promise to Madame Pomfrey. Hermione decided to let Draco get her food while she read a book.

(10 min later)

"Ok, I'm all rested can I please get out of bed now?" Hermione asked.

"Where do you want to go?" Draco asked.

Before Hermione could answer Draco scooped her into his strong arms. Hermione placed her arms around Draco's neck securely and kissed him softly.

"Can I go sit on the couch?"

Draco carried her to the couch and she sat soundly on his lap. Once again Hermione was asleep, but this time she was snuggled against her one true love.

(The next week and then a day)

It was December 4th. And Hermione was feeling totally fine. Everyone knew that Draco and Hermione were an item. The flipping went great and the twins were due in 3 months. Hermione was in the library with Diana and a new guy named Jeremy.

"We have to write essay's on Wolf's Bane for Snape." Jeremy stated, taking out his books.

"Ok, so what do you know?" Asked Hermione starting on her copy.

"I know that it's used in potions. But I don't know what for." Diana said, heading her paper.

"That's a good start. But you need to know what the potion is used for. One of my good friends needs it." Hermione said.

Hermione's ring caught the light and Diana noticed. Knowing Hermione the longest, Diana spoke up.

"Hermione, who gave you that pretty ring?" asked Diana.

Hermione looked over and smiled.

"It's a promise ring from my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy." Hermione said with a smile.

"Are you pregnant because of him?" asked Jeremy.

Diana jabbed him in the ribs. Hermione smiled again, this was quite entertaining.

"Don't ask her questions like that!" Diana snapped.

"It's alright. No they're not Draco's, but I don't really want to mention who. We have finish this assignment." Said Hermione checking the clock.

Finally they finished their work and as a surprise Draco came in. In front of the younglings he kissed her.

"Orchideous!" said Draco, out of his wand came 3 yellow roses.

"Thank you. Oh, um, this is Diana and Jeremy. I tutor them by order of their parents." Said Hermione.

"Nice to meet you. Do you mind if I take your teacher away for lunch?" Draco inquired, shaking their hands.

Both of them shook their heads as Hermione picked up her books. Draco took her books away and carried them.

"How did you find me?" Hermione asked as they walked into the Great Hall.

"I asked around. And then---." Draco started when Pansy walked by.

"How could anyone miss something that big? If Granger stood in front of the sun she would cause a lunar eclipse." Pansy laughed out, followed by some others.

"Just shove it Pansy. You're just jealous because I chose Hermione over you." Draco snapped, and pansy was instantly quiet.

With that Hermione and Draco went to sit at the Gryffindor table. Surprisingly Harry and Ron let him sit down without a word.

(The common room)

"Hey, 'Mione." Draco spoke up.

Hermione was sitting by the fire trying to do her research.

"A-are you d-doing anything for the h-holidays in a few w-weeks?" Draco asked, twisting his fingers.

Hermione sensed his nervousness and went to sit next to him.

"I don't think I am. My parents have disowned me so I can't go home." Said Hermione.

"W-would you l-like to spend them with me. At my winter cabin? Your friends can come too if that'd make you happy." Draco said his confidence back.

"Really Draco? I'd love to come, let me ask my friends. I'm sure they'd say yes. I love you so much!" Hermione exclaimed, literally jumping on Draco's lap.

Draco let out a small cry of pain.

"Oh I'm sorry. Did I hit your--?"

"Merlin, yes." Draco breathed out.

Hermione kissed her apologies and went to find her friends.

(Gryffindor's)

"Hey Hermione! What brings you here?" asked Ginny, filing her nails.

"Listen up. Draco's invited us all to spend the holidays with him, please say you can come?" asked Hermione, sitting in her usual chair.

Harry looked at both Ron and Ginny and came up with his conclusion.

"Sure, we'll come." Answered Harry.

Hermione looked happier than she did before. Her friends were finally warming up to her being with Draco.

"Well I'm not going if Jason can't come." Ginny stated, looking down at her locket.

"Of course he can come. Ok, well I have to get back. I've got loads to do before tomorrow." Hermione smiled, going out of the portrait hole.

"She's been extremely happy these past few days. I don't remember her happy with Nick." Ron piped up.

"I agree. Malfoy must be doing something right. Maybe it's alright to trust him. But if that snake does one thing to our Hermione, I'll have his head for breakfast." Said Harry, crushing his assignment.

Ginny let out a shriek of laughter at the sour look on Harry's face. Ron too couldn't retain his enjoyment.

Hermione slept soundly that night. Or so she thought. Shortly after she awoke to a breathing that wasn't her own. Hermione turned on her light and saw Draco looking at her.

"What are you doing up and in my room?" Hermione said a lot more harshly than she would have liked.

"I'm sorry for checking on you but you were yelling in your sleep again. I thought something might have been wrong." Draco said, standing up.

"Sorry for snapping. I'm alright, why don't you just sleep with me tonight. That way you don't have to sneak around. It's really creepy." Said Hermione, fixing a spot next to her.

Draco froze; Hermione wanted him to sleep with her?

Draco crawled in next to her and was instantly surrounded in warmth. Hermione turned around and kissed Draco sweetly before going back to sleep. During the night, Hermione felt safer than she had in almost 6 months.

(The next afternoon during quidditch practice)

Ginny decided to come with Hermione to watch Draco practice. So far everything was going great.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Asked Ginny sipping her warm butterbeer.

"Well last week Draco told me that he watches me sleep. I don't know if that should be romantic or creepy. No one has ever done that for me." Hermione stated, fixing her coat.

"I think that's totally sweet. I would kill to have Jason do that for me. He is truly in love with you. Malfoy has changed a lot since you came into his lonely life." Ginny spoke.

Hermione thought about it. Draco really had changed a lot. He was a lot nicer to everyone and their relationship has brought a new side to this mysterious guy.
