Thank you for all the reviews!

Chapter 16

Hermione entered her room, where Draco sat on the rocking chair, giving Aria her bottle. He looked up from Aria and at her, smiling. "Hey" He whispered. She smiled back and walked over. She bent down and kissed Aria's forehead before sitting on the floor next to the chair. She sighed as she leaned her head on Draco's knee, thinking. "I can see the wheels turning in your head." He said looking down at her. "What are you thinking about?"

"We were at the Gryffindor common room, and Harry was there. They got to meet each other."

"And? They're in the same house and they're both close to you, so they were both bound to meet at some time."

"I don't know... I was just thinking about them... together..."

"Hermione, you're not thinking about about playing matchmaker, are you?"

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with that!"

"If they were meant to be together, they'll get together."

"i know, but sometimes, people just need a bit of a push...or a shove."

"And most of the time, things will happen at the right time, on their own.'

"Yeah, I guess. It's just that , after what happened between me and Harry... I don't know... I just want him to find the one."

"If Potter can survive battling Voldemort, I'm sure he can survive a little bit of rejection. Besides he is loved by many people in this world. There are quite a lot of girls who want to get into the the-boy-who-never-freaking-dies' pants." He chuckled when Hermione slapped him on the leg. "Not to mention, he still has you for a best friend, and I'm pretty sure that he's pretty grateful about that."

"I just want him to be happy."

"He is happy."

Hermione smiled and stood up. She picked up the sleeping Aria from his arms and placed her in her crib. She softly patted her head as the baby girl slept peacefully. She moved aside for Draco, who kissed Aria on the forehead before pulling a small blanket over her. "She's just so adorable." She whispered.

Draco smirked. "She has to be, she's a Malfoy."

Hermione rolled her eyes, but smiled as she walked towards the door, Draco right behind her. "Thanks for putting her to sleep."

"Anytime."

She yawned. "Well it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed too."

"Mind if I Slytherin" He said winking.

Hermione laughed. "Goodnight, Draco." She said as she closed the door.

A few days later

Hermione pulled Aria's arms through the sleeve of her jacket. She took the pink and brown winter hat and placed it on top of her short blonde curls. Aria reached up and patted her head, trying to get whatever was on her head. "Are you ready to spend the day to0 spend the day with Uncle Harry and Auntie Emma?" She picked up Aria and headed out the door, grabbing the baby bag on the way.

Draco stood from the couch and took Aria in his arms. "Hello Arbear" he said kissing her forehead, She let go of her hat and patted his cheeks, making her usual bubbling noise. He rubbed their noses together and she pulled back giggling.

"Alright you two, we have to go meet Harry and Emma at Hogsmeade." Hermione interrupted.

Draco scowled, "Does scarhead really have to come?"

She glared at him. "It's Harry and yes he is absolutely coming. He's my best friend and Aria just loves him. It's her day to spend with all of us since she doesn't get a chance to do that very often. Blaise and Luna are also going to be there. Now, let's go or we'll miss that lat carriage." She pushed him out the portrait, trying to make him m move faster. They stopped when they saw Harry and Emma standing on the other side...holding hands. Hermione looked at them surprised. "What's going on?"

"Well there's something I wanted to tell you and I just couldn't wait any longer." Emma squealed

"Say no more. I think I already know what it is." Hermione let out a small scream, throwing her arms around her cousin. "I'm so happy for both of you." She kissed Harry on the cheek, before looking at him seriously. "Potter, you better take care of her and not hurt or I swear take God I won't hesitate to castrate you."

Harry let out a nervous laugh. "Mione, you know I'm not one to do that."

"I know, just making sure."

The five entered the Three Broomsticks. They headed to for the table in the corner where Blaise and Luna were waiting for them.

"Hello" Luna said as they sat down.

"You two are here early" Draco replied

Blaise smirked "No, you're just late."

Hermione stood up. "I'm thirsty, and gonna order butterbeer. Anyone want anything while I'm up?"

"I'll have a butterbeer too." Draco said

Emma and Harry nodded their heads mumbling a "me too". Hermione headed for the counter in front and Blaise followed to help her.

"I see the way you look at her, Draco." Luna asked, watching Draco.

"Who?"

Harry rolled his eyes. "Who else? Hermione, of course. Everyone can see that."

Draco sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "I'm not trying to hide anything. Yeah, maybe I do look at her a certain way."

"She looks at you the same way, you know." Emma smiled

"Really?"

Harry snorted. "Even I know that Malfoy. She is just in such denial. She's just having a little trouble fully opening her heart to you at the moment. i know you didn't mean for what happened last year to happen, but it still happened. When that memory is in her head, it's still your face that she sees."

"Don't worry Draco. You just have to make her realize that she cares for you so much, and that you care the same way, and would never do that to her. You just need to help her open her heart. Make her realize how much she loves you." Emma said

Draco groaned, knowing how stubborn Hermione can be. "But how?"

"Jealousy." Luna replied, like it was the most obvious answer.

"Luna that's brilliant! Hermione can be pretty good at controlling and hiding her emotions when she wants to, but she always has trouble when it comes to jealousy. What girl doesn't?" Emma grinned

"Yeah, but with who is Malfoy going to make Hermione jealous with?" Harry asked, hoping Emma doesn't volunteer herself.

Luna slightly raised her hand. "I'll do it."

The four turned towards the laughter behind them. They turned and saw Hermione and Blaise gently shoving each other back and forth, trying to make the other slightly spill the drinks in their hands. Draco scowled turning to Luna. "I'll take you up on that offer"
