Hello everyone! Sorry about the late updates. I've been on Neopets and I just started high school. Just to let you know, I own nothing except the plot and some characters.
It was now the first day of vacation at Draco's log cabin and Hermione was hyped. When they arrived the cabin looked really small but with great scenery. There was a big fresh blanket of snow and nice mountains. Also surrounding the house were great oak trees.
Ginny and Jason decided to go skiing together. Ron and Harry followed some pretty girls to a hot water spring and Draco went to the nearest store to pick up some things for the cabin. Leaving poor Hermione alone.
10 min later
"Hermione, I'm back." Called out Draco from the front door.
"Bonjour Amour!" Hermione said back, placing her arms around Draco's neck.
"I love it when you speak French." Draco murmured against Hermione's lips.
They kissed for a while before Draco realized that he couldn't hold the groceries and Hermione. Everything dropped. Draco cursed lightly under his breath.
"Don't worry babe. I got them." Said Hermione taking out her wand.
"Locomotor Groceries!"
The bags then followed Hermione's wand into the kitchen. There she put them all away without lifting a finger.
"You are totally amazing, you know that?" said Draco, his arms around Hermione from behind.
"Yeah. Thanks for noticing." Hermione joked, kissing Draco's hand.
They stayed like that for a while. Until everyone came back for lunch.
"I'm totally starving! What's for eats?" Asked Ron, plopping down in one of the kitchen chairs.
"Well firstly, you have to change your clothes. You're getting water everywhere." Complained Hermione, following the drops of water with her wand.
"Don't worry about it Hermione. I'll get it in a bit; let's just have a nice lunch first." Ron said, rubbing his growling stomach.
Hermione put her anger aside just for the sake of her friends. She and Draco had made a bunch of sandwiches. And Hermione had conjured a big cauldron of Butterbeer.
"So how was the skiing?" Draco asked Jason.
"It was great! I got big air!" Jason stated, his nose a bit burnt from the reflection on the snow.
"Yeah, you would say that. Considering I didn't know how to ski. No one told me you'd strap flat boards to your feet and slide down a mountain!" complained Ginny.
Jason's smile whipped off his face. Draco tried to sustain his giggles with Hermione who had to cough to cover up her laughs.
"I'm sure you'll do better next time. I'd go with you but, snow and pregnancy don't go too well together." Hermione laughed.
The lunch went pretty well. Shortly after Harry and Ron went to find those girls again. They had promised to show Harry and Ron around the area. Leaving Draco and Hermione home alone again.
"I'm sorry that your Christmas break isn't what you wanted it to be. It's my entire fault." Said Hermione, brushing away a tear.
"It could never be your fault. I invited you remember? I wanted to spend time with you, so do you want to come with me and cut down a nice tree?" asked Draco, sitting in a chair opposite the couch.
Hermione nodded and they set off to find the perfect tree. Draco carried the axe and Hermione looked around. Finally she found one that she liked.
"How about this one? It's perfect!" said Hermione, pointing to the tree.
What Hermione thought was great and what Draco thought was great were totally different things. This tree was huge; it was about the size of a tree in the Forbidden Forest.
"I don't think that one will fit in the cabin. How about this one over here." Draco stated, pointing to a reasonable sized tree.
Hermione examined it. The tree wasn't so bad, the right size for the cabin and full.
"Fine. If it'll make you happy." Hermione stated rather grudgingly.
"Great! I'll make it up to you sooner or later." Said Draco.
And oh boy would he. But that's another chapter.
They set up the tree the instant they got home. It looked very nice in the corner near behind the couch.
"Is that how you wanted it?" Draco asked the 3rd time.
"Yes, it's perfect!" exclaimed Hermione, spinning around.
"This reminds me. Do you want to go out tonight? It's alright if you don't wanna." Said Draco.
"Of course I do. Where are we going? And better yet, when?" asked Hermione, sitting down.
Draco looked up at the clock and smiled.
"Well how about at 8:30? I still have to run a few errands." Said Draco.
"Ok. I can work with that. I still have 4 hours so I think I'll sleep." Said Hermione, stretching.
"I'm going now. Be back in a little bit." Draco gave Hermione a quick kiss and then appariated out of the building.
Ginny and Jason came back shortly after with some Christmas flowers to decorate the house with. The red and white ones.
Hermione was still sound asleep. While sleeping Hermione dreamed of her life after the twins were born. Draco was still with her and they were still deeply in love. Ginny and Jason were married and expecting their first kid. Then Isis kicked and Hermione woke up.
"What an odd dream." Said Hermione. Both of them kicked this time signaling Hermione to get some food.
"Hey Hermione. Like what we've done to the place?" asked Ginny, fixing the last flower.
Hermione looked around, the bright reds stood out greatly meshing nicely with the whites.
"They're beautiful Ginny! I had to wake up because Isis is hungry. I think she's going to be fat." Hermione joked.
"What were you in the mood for?" Jason asked, he too wanted to help Hermione after birth.
"Well I kind of wanted an apple or something. Maybe grapes and caramel! Yummy!" Exclaimed Hermione.
It sounded disgusting, but Jason made it for her anyway. Hermione sat down and ate happily. Then she explained about Draco's secret date that night.
"You two go out an awful lot. I should think that you'd like to stay home and rest." Ginny stated, sipping coffee with Irish Cream. (Also a great Ice cream)
"No. I don't really like staying inside. The fresh air is good for the babies anyway. I remember when we first met Nick and Jason. We went out every night." Hermione remembered.
"Yeah. Jason and I'd mostly kiss while you and Nick would talk. I liked your relationship, until… well you know. Now I'm envious of the one you have with Draco. You can talk about anything. Draco would do anything to make you happy. I see the way he looks at you." Stated Ginny.
Hermione giggled. No one has ever been envious of her except when she was dating Viktor Krum.
"That's funny when I was envious of you. Where are Ron and Harry anyway, I'm surprised those girls haven't thrown them out yet." Hermione stated, checking the clock.
And sure enough, Ron and Harry came busting through the door. Their hair was disheveled and they had lipstick smeared across their faces. But instead of happy faces they were furious.
"What happened to the both of you?" asked Jason, coming out of his and Ginny's room.
"We were happily snogging and then these two tough guys came in!" Ron exclaimed.
"Yeah and so we say we're busy. But they don't like that. The two guys throw Ron and me out. The girls say sorry for their husbands' behavior. Who kisses someone else when they're married! And where did all of these bloody flowers come from?" Harry asked viciously.
Hermione giggled. She had never seen Ron or Harry this mad before. They looked more delusional than angry. The clock then chimed 5:00 and Hermione rushed up to get ready for the date.
"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Harry asked, as Hermione grabbed her bowl of grapes which Ron wanted to finish.
"I've got a date at eight and I can't be late. Darn it! I'm speaking in limericks!" Hermione exclaimed Hermione.
"Make it at nine, wouldn't that be fine?" asked Jason, who laughed. He was also speaking in limericks.
Hermione rushed into the bathroom and turned on the shower. The hot water felt good on her sore back and feet. Pregnancy was no picnic, but at least there were people to help her out.
Soon Draco got back and put an armful of presents under the tree. Then he ran into the other bathroom and began to get ready.
A/N: I HOPE THIS CHAPTER WAS WORTH THE WAIT! HIGH SCHOOL IS FUN; I TAKE FRENCH AND HAVE ALL HONORS CLASSES!
