Friday: The end
Draco had been thinking what to do all of last night when he couldn't sleep properly without Hermione. He had a genius idea. He had gone into work the next day to fill out the details in the cases Harry had put on his desk the day before he did it quickly and effectively. So at 2:30 (4 hours before he would normally get home from work) he headed to Harry's office for a favour. The door was open so he lent against the door frame.
"Potter." He spat. Harry looked up from his desk and rolled his eyes, rubbing a hand over his jaw.
"Yes, Draco, what can I do for you?"
"Well," Draco started as he walked forward handing Harry the case files. "I finished the work you left for me and found a few extra cases that needed my input from some other aurors." Harry took them and flipped threw them quickly nodding in approval. Draco watched intently hoping he hadn't missed anything. Oh crap, he hadn't written a statement analysis on the witness' on the McNair sighting Harry is going to make...his thought were interrupted by Harry.
"It all looks good Draco." Draco mentally fist pumped but made a mental note to amend the McNair case file and get Harry to sign off on it. "So what do you want?" Harry asked slapping the files and rested his head on his hands smirking. Draco laughed and held up his hands.
"Hermione has this baby thing and she wanted me to go with her, so I thought I could leave a little early." Harry knew he was lying and internally laughed at the lack of a good excuse but thought Draco not needing to find a good lie was a decent testament to their friendship. Ginny had been filling Harry in on all the details of the current lovers spat between the Malfoys and Harry would bet that Draco wanted to resolve it before the weekend so he could spend said weekend making it up to her.
"Alright fine," Draco smiled but Harry raised a hand. "But you do something for me." Draco raised his eyebrows.
"I know we are friends now but I'm not sure I'll be into your kinky habits..."Draco said with a smirk. Harry clutched his stomach and pretended to laugh before he gave a straight face which only made Draco laugh and Harry laugh with him.
"Next mission we go on I want you with me." Draco stood silent and could barley blink. "You've done the research on the Goyle case, you've given us the key information we need and it's you who I want to be there." Harry stood up and crossed his arms.
"I don't know what to say."
"Draco you have been working in this department for years doing all the boring important work while the aurors take the risks and get the credit. I want you to be an auror, Draco."Both men smiled broadly. Draco thought about how proud Hermione would be when he could go home and tell her he was going to be an auror and he forgot about his plan to surprise her.
"Thank you Harry, it would be an honour." Draco pulled his friend into a hug.
"You deserve it. We still need your information and you will still need to do work on case files but it means you will finally get to see some action and have some recognition for you hard work."
"Harry, I really can't thank you enough for doing this me, I know it can't have been easy to get everyone on board." Harry walked back to sit behind his desk.
"Believe it or not most people have warmed up to you, considering some of the stuff you put into their cases has helped save their lives at one time or another. Us aurors are family we need to trust each other with our lives and I know you wanted to keep in the background at first so you didn't rub anyone the wrong way, but you've been here a while and you need to integrate into the work place. These guys are fine with you, you need to trust them because they certainly trust you after all the good information you give them. Right lecture over I'll see you on Monday. Now run home to Hermione. I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on there." Harry winked. Draco laughed and jogged out to get his satchel and apparate home.
"Hermione!" Draco yelled as he clambered though the door he stumbled over the umbrella holder (he never remembered being there) and threw his keys and satchel onto the table. The house was spotless she knew Hermione had been cleaning and the gloves and bottle of Flash (Draco still didn't really understand what it was or why Hermione cleaned their house by rubbing cloths all over it) on the countertop of the kitchen meant she was still home. When he couldn't see her in either the kitchen or lounge he put a large wager (because he knew the routine Hermione cleaned in) she'd be cleaning the spare bedroom. He hurried into the spare room where Hermione was pulling the blanket on the freshly made bed.
"Draco you're not supposed to be home yet!" She spun around and yelled in surprise and dropped the sheets. Draco barley hesitated at the door before he bound over to her. He slithered his arms around her bum and she squealed as he lifted her so he could look up at her. He only kept her that high for a moment before lowering her so she could link her legs around his hips to anchor herself to him.
"Oh my beautiful, sexy, amazing wife this is the best day ever!" He placed small kisses all over her face as she squealed and wriggled away from him. Draco put his hands under her bum and she linked her arms around his neck.
"What is with all of the joy and happiness?" Hermione raised an eyebrow as Draco smiled broadly.
"Something happened at work today." Draco smirked smugly, he felt like spinning her all over the apartment but knew she complain about how she was too heavy, which was crap because she was tiny even pregnant and he had the body of an Adonis. So instead he walked to the edge of the bed and sat on it with her in his lap.
"Are you going to tell me about it?"
"Well I went to see Harry and he thanked me for doing such a good job with the information side he wants me to go on the next auror mission and become an auror."
"Oh Draco, that's amazing! I'm so proud of you! But that's it's dangerous they come back so hurt sometimes, even Harry has taken a step back now he's Head Auror and since Ginny had James. Imagine if you got hurt or killed what would Scorpius and I do?" She hugged him tight. When she finished there was a whole other look in her eye. It was the same look she had seen many times before but it still made her heart flutter.
"Scorpius?" Draco looked at her with wide eyes and a shocked expression. Hermione ducked her head shyly.
"Well... I heard you and Blaise a couple of months ago when you had your beer night here. You thought I had gone to bed but I came out to get some water and you guys were talking about names. I remember you said that you liked the name but you didn't think I'd like it because it was too much of a Malfoy trait and wouldn't want reminding of you heritage. So when we found the sex of the baby I decided that we would name him Scorpius. I married you Draco and I know better than anyone about your heritage and we both know that we are not our families."
"I love you Hermione, I really do. And you should know that I won't get badly hurt, I'm too much of a badass I was a Death Eater and I lived with Voldemort." Draco bragged smugly.
"Oh please, you never wanted to be a Death Eater and the pressure of living with Voldemort you spent the majority of sixth year with moaning myrtle." Hermione snapped back but with the quirk in her lip he could tell it was light hearted.
"Oh baby, that's cold." Draco groaned nuzzling her neck and clutched her even tighter.
"Seriously though, Draco, you have to be careful. You can't leave Scorpius without a Dad and you certainly can't leave me without a husband." Draco's heart melted at her expression.
"I love you more than anything, Hermione. I'm sorry for everything I said, you know I love you and I find you the sexiest thing alive. Plus I would never die because you can never have sex with anyone else," He slid her hands down to her bum and looked hungrily at her chest. "Because this body is mine and I want it all the time."
"Even when I'm dressed like this?" Hermione asked shyly. Draco looked down at her attire and saw she was in a pair of navy sweatpants and a large grey hoodie.
"All. The. Time. Especially like this because it's even better when I take them off you." Draco wiggled her eyebrows.
"You never felt that that way before." Hermione said with frustration in her voice.
"Well maybe it just took a little bit of ignoring me to make me look at it another way."
"Ah so you are saying that this week has been good?" Hermione laughed She put her hands on his shoulders and leaned back but before she could go far Draco pulled her back to him.
"Oh no definitely not, you can't image how torturous this week has been for me." Draco growled gripping her tightly devouring her with his eyes.
"Oh I know, I have just enjoyed torturing you." She smiled shyly.
"Oh but it was just so good to get revenge." She emphasised the 'good' with a moan not ready to end her teasing of Draco just yet. "To see you all hot and bothered." Hermione pushed herself closer to him and could feel the evidence of his attraction to her. Draco groaned again and his grip tightened on her. He walked her back to the bed, placing her gently on the sheets. He crouched over her.
"So you have been playing with me all week?" His voice was husky and he grazed a hand over her breast. "Not letting me touch you." He brought his hand up to her neck and brushed his thumb across her jaw. "Kiss you." He brushed his lips against hers. "Love you." He raised an eyebrow.
"I wanted to make you pay for what you said." She pouted. He stopped his attack on her neck and looked seriously now.
"You know I didn't mean it." He pushed the hair back from her face.
"I know you love me, but after all these years it's nice to feel wanted like you used to when you couldn't keep your hands off me." Hermione bit her lip as his hands slipped up her thigh.
"I have never been able to keep my hands of you."
"You should remind me every once in a while." Hermione sighed. He gave her an obviously look that she knew was asking if he could kiss her. She lent up and connected their lips before he had the chance. Draco held a hand to the side of her face as she gently bit his lip. Draco groaned into the kiss and slowly brought his hand down to unzip her hoodie. While he still kissed her deeply he moved her hand over his wife's breast. She opened her eyes to see his forehead crumple and smiled into the kiss. He couldn't feel the smooth elastic of her pregnancy bra and instead felt the scratchy texture of lace. Draco pulled away from the kiss and looked down at her chest while Hermione covered his neck in kisses. He was stunned when he saw the green silk bra she was wearing underneath.
"See all this time...you have been...complaining about my clothes when...you never bothered to see what was underneath." Hermione smirked and bit her own lip this time. Draco stripped her hoodie off her body and continued down her body to pull down Hermione's sweat pants to reveal matching boy shorts. He kissed every inch of her as he removed every inch of clothing she had on slowly. He took his sweet time with the bra and knickers as he pulled them off her. When she lay naked in front of him he stopped.
"Draco?" He looked back up to her face breathless at the attention her husband was paying her after 5 days of not affection.
"Do you know why I dislike these things?" Draco asked. Hermione shook her head. "Because they hide everything I love about you. Which is everything." Draco said with no hesitation. Hermione's face split into a broad smile. Draco moved back so he could kiss her deeply. Hermione could feel with every touch of his lip and caress of his hands that she shouldn't doubt him.
