I do not own Harry Potter…only the plot.
Chapter 10
When Draco came through, the first thing he noticed was that it was very clean and neat. He shouldn't have expected anything less from this woman. He was standing awkwardly by the fireplace. That is until he heard her yelling from the kitchen.
"Draco! I'm in the kitchen. Come on in here. I'm brewing some tea for the both of us." Hermione was saying.
He left the fireplace and walked down the hallway toward the kitchen. He saw pictures of her and a cat, her and the rest of the Golden Trio, her and Ginny. He also saw pictures of kids and the Potters. Then, he saw a picture that made him smile. It was a picture of Weasley and Pansy on their wedding day. That was a great night.
Hermione came into the hallway from the kitchen and saw Draco staring at a picture.
"Draco." She said softly; trying to get his attention.
He turned to look at her and he had a smile on his face. He walked towards her and put his arms around her in a hug. He stood there hugging her for a minute before he felt her arms wrap around his waist. They stood there until she pulled away when the kettle started whistling.
Hermione smiled at him and took his hand and led him into the kitchen. She fixed the tea and they both sat down at the table. It was there she told him about how her friends had caught her upset and why she had to explain their episode. Finally, they sat there sipping the last of their tea in silence.
"So, that's why you had to tell them." Draco said breaking the silence.
Hermione nodded her head yes. It was quiet for another few minutes before he spoke again.
"What do we do now, Hermione?" He asked.
She looked up at him and saw in his eyes that we wanted something for them. It had been five years since she had been with a man. She had waited because with him it had been perfect. She wanted to see if he would come back. She smiled because she knew then he had come back to her.

He was content in his life right now. He realized that as he lay back in his bed. Hermione and him had been together for a week now. And in reality, he couldn't have asked for a better woman.
They hadn't went to bed again yet. Hermione said she wanted to take their relationship slow. She didn't want to jump right in there again. He was completely fine with it because he still had the woman he loved.
He had been the first to tell a friend about their relationship. He had been in the den of his house when Blaise had come over. They had only been dating for three days. Blaise told him how he needed to find himself a woman. Draco then surprised him by saying he did have a girl and that the girls was a Miss Hermione Granger. Blaise had then proceeded to spit out all of the brandy that was in his mouth all over Draco.
He shuddered at the memory of being covered in brandy and saliva. But he chuckled as he remembered Blaise's face after he had finished sputtering; looked like a deer in headlights that boy did.
He closed his eyes to try drifting off to sleep. He did within a few moments; not thinking about Blaise but about the girl that he was in love with. He knew he would love her no matter what could happen in their future.

Hermione laid down on her bed and breathed a sigh of relief. She had just finished telling her friends about her relationship with Draco.
Pansy and Ginny were ecstatic. Harry and Ron went pale but congratulated their friend because she seemed truly happy.
Ginny had gotten over the phase of wanting to kill Hermione for sleeping with the enemy. She had actually told Hermione, before they became a public couple, that she didn't think Hermione regretted one thing about what happened. Hermione now relented to her friend she didn't regret one thing that happened that night.
She was happy that they had accepted her relationship. She was happy with Draco. As she turned to fall sleep, she knew she was in love with him. She also knew she needed to tell Draco about one little thing that came out of their one night stand five years ago.
