Your Guardian Angel
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace and now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold
And breaks through my soul
And I know, I'll find deep inside me
I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
Seasons are changing and waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days are growing longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you, I'll be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cause you're my
You're my
My true love
My whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cause I'm here, for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay……
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Hermione woke up early the next morning with Draco wrapped around her tightly. His chin was resting above her head as he slept. Hermione hadn't felt this rested in years. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 6o'clock.
She wanted to check on her cats before taking a shower and getting ready for work. She detangled herself from Draco's arms and looked around for her clothes from the night before. As she was just about to pull her shirt on she saw Draco's shirt from the night before. She chose to put that on instead of her own. The shirt was huge on her. He hung to her knees making it to where she didn't have to put anything else on.
She checked to see if Draco was still asleep then went to find her cats. She didn't think that they would be upstairs so she headed down instead. She checked what she took as Draco's study then headed to the conservatory to see if they had wondered in there. After checking a few more rooms she was starting to get frustrated. She was thinking of just going back upstairs to shower when she walked into the library. The size of it made her freeze. She hadn't seen so many books in a person's library ever.
She walked up to one of the shelves and saw that most of the books were first editions. She wanted to read a lot of them. She just about to walk to another shelf when she felt something soft rub against her leg. She looked down and saw Astraios.
"Hey boy" Hermione said as she picked him up.
Her rub his face into hers. He seemed to be starved for attention. She stood there for awhile petting and holding him.
Draco woke up expecting to see Hermione next to him. He was disappointed to see that she had gotten up. He decided to go and find her. He picked up his boxers and walked out the door and headed down stairs. He had a feeling that he would find her in the library.
He walked in and saw her holding Astraios. She looked adorable wearing his shirt from the night before. He walked in and sat on the couch quietly waiting for Hermione to notice his presents. When he was just about to make her aware of his presents something small and soft jumped on his lap. It was Artemis. For some reason she seemed to really like him.
Hermione turned around so she could sit down on the couch to pet him when she saw Draco sitting with Artemis.
"You just love to sneak up on people don't you?" Hermione asked.
"It's what I do best" He smirked.
"It isn't the only thing you do best"
"Is that a compliment?"
"Possibly"
"Come over here and sit with me." Draco said patting the seat next to him.
Still holding Astraios she sauntered over to him; before she sat down Astraios jumped out of her arms. She sat close to Draco. She leaned into to him and turned her face up to him.
Draco put one hand on her cheek and kissed her. The kiss was soft and sweet.
"Good morning" Draco said.
"Morning"
"Why are you up so early?" Draco asked.
"I never sleep late, plus I woke up and wanted to check on them." She responded.
"Well since we are up might as well have breakfast." Draco told her standing up and pulling her with him.
"What are we having?" Hermione asked following behind him.
"They usually make bacon, eggs and French toast but they can make anything you want." Draco said.
"No that sounds wonderful."
Once they were done eating Hermione made sure that the cats had food and water then planned to take a shower. When she got up stairs back to Draco's bedroom she found that he was already taking a shower. She thought about waiting till he was done but then changed her mind it would be more fun this way.
She walked into the bathroom and took Draco's shirt off and opened the shower doors and stepped in. She walked up behind him and slid her hands up his chest startling him.
"You scared the crap out of me and you called me sneaky." Draco muttered.
"How did you not hear me come in? I opened the shower door and closed it making noise." Hermione mentioned.
"I was lost in my thoughts." Draco said.
"Really, what where you thinking about?" Hermione asked.
"Well I will give you one guess……." Draco muttered as he grabbed her and kissed her.
She put her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. She could feel Draco was already hard.
Draco picked her up of the floor and pinned her to the wall. He out one hand on her butt and the other found her breast. He broke the kiss and started to suck on her neck making Hermione moan loudly.
Draco took his hand away from her breast and proceeded to trail his fingers down between her legs. He slid one finger in see that she was already wet and ready for him. He didn't want to waste much time on fore play this time. He removed his fingers and positioned himself outside her entrance. He looked into her eyes as he pushed fully in. They both moaned ones he was fully embedded inside of her. He started a rhythmic motion that Hermione was keeping up with. It wasn't long before Draco could feel his release coming but he wanted to make sure Hermione came first. He started pumping faster. They exploded in a state of euphoria together.
It took them a few minutes before either of them could speak.
"That was even better then the first time. You are just full of surprises aren't you?" He asked kissing her head and letting her down.
"More then you know. Now lets shower we have to get to the office before the manager from the Bulgarian Qudditch team." Hermione told him while grabbing shampoo.
"When did you set up and appointment with him for me?" Draco asked while cleaning himself.
"Yesterday…….damn I forgot to tell you. It was while you were talking with Blaise. I meant to tell you after but then we went to lunch. I'm sorry it won't happen again." Hermione told him quickly.
"Don't sweat it. At least you told me before he just showed up. What time is the appointment?" Draco asked while drying himself off.
"At 10"
"Its already 9:00, we need to get going."
Hermione finished washing herself then hopped out of the shower and dried off fast. She walked into Draco's room with just a towel.
"Did you bring any work clothes with you?"
"Yeah there in my bag. I will be ready in 5 minutes. You can wait in the car for me if you want to."
"Alright, I need to grab a few things from my study then I will meet you in the car"
Hermione got dressed in her short black skirt and green button up shirt. She put on her high heals then just decided to dry her hair with magic and leave it down. She grabbed her bags and went to the car.
They got to the office in 30 minutes to find Dean Thomas waiting for them. He had become the team's manager after he had gotten out of school.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Dean we hit traffic coming into work." Draco said while shaking his hand.
"Not a problem it will just help me when I plan to still say no to your company supplying the team with gear and sponsoring them. I didn't even want to be here but your secretary can be very pushy." Dean said.
"Oh shut up Dean, you knew that you would have come because I asked." Hermione told him.
"Your right……so why are you working for this git anyways?" Dean asked
Draco hard an annoyed look on his face and Hermione knew that if she didn't appease him in some way he would say something that would ruin the deal.
"I am working for him because he offered me a good paying job and also not only is he my boss he is my boyfriend so be nice." Hermione said walking into the office.
Hermione put her stuff down and headed for her desk. Dean's attitude annoyed her, just because Draco was an ass in school didn't mean he was the same outside of school. Hermione started going through the files on her desk looking for the one about the Bulgarians.
While she had been doing that Draco had sent Dean to his office and was now standing in front of her desk smiling like an idiot, he obviously was proud of what she said.
"Your client is waiting for you"
"Yeah I know but I need the file and I wanted to do this"
Draco grabbed the file then leaned in and kissed her hard.
"It's nice to hear you calling me your boyfriend, I have been dreaming of this for years now." He said walking into his office.
Hermione just smiled as he walked away. She could get use to having him around.
About an hour later Dean came walking out of Draco's office looking as if he made a deal with the devil.
"It was nice seeing you Hermione, but I am going to go. We should catch up sometime." Dean said walking out of the office
Hermione thought Dean's attitude was a little weird. He couldn't even look at her when he walked by. She looked to see if Draco was busy and found him standing in his door way staring at her with a big grin on his face.
"What?" She asked.
"I got him to sign a three year contract. So now if he cancels it on me I can take him to court for it. I owe it to you to."
"Really why is that? All I did was call him and convince him to come in and talk with you. You did the real work."
"Yes but he wouldn't have come in if it wasn't for you. You have been here for only a few days and already my company is doing better. I owe you for that."
"You owe me nothing. You saved me."
Just at that moment Harry came walking into the office.
"Good morning, are you two busy?" He asked.
"Not at all come on in Potter we can talk in my office" Draco said.
After they made it to the office and were seated Harry told him the news.
"I am afraid that it's not good news. I went to arrest Lucas this morning and he wasn't at his apartment nor has he returned. We have had someone posted watching his place. I was hoping to already have him in custody but we can't find him. No one knows where he could be." He told them
"So you're saying that he could be waiting for me to go home and attack me or something?" Hermione asked.
"I am trying to tell you to be cautious. Anything is possible. I mean he did break into your house and trash the place. I believe that if Draco hadn't of been with you he would have done something."
"What am I going to do? I can't keep living in fear every time I go out into public or go home"
Draco could see her getting frantic. She had thought that she had left him behind but he just kept coming for her. He got up and went to kneel in front of her. He took her hands in his.
"Look at me; nothing is going to happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you. You can stay with me until they catch him. I would just say sell the house but you just bought it and we just started dating, so just stay with me for now."
"Thank you, I can't wait until this is all over."
"Well, I have to be getting back to work. Don't worry Mione we will find him. I promise. Are we still all for tonight or do you want to reschedule?" Harry asked.
"No I want to go out tonight. I am not going to postpone seeing Gin. 8o'clock right?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah see you two then."
After Harry left Hermione was got up and was about to go back to work when Draco grabbed her and pulled her to him in a warming embrace.
"I mean it I am not going to let anything happen to you. I care for you to much. When you're with me you don't ever need to feel afraid." He said kissing her head
"I never feel fear when you're around."
"That's good. Now we can either work for a little longer or go get lunch then work. What do you want to do?"
"I'm hungry why don't we order in?"
"Sure, what shall we have?"
"Sandwiches?"
"Sounds good?"
Hermione ordered their food then continued to review files from the past. Once the food arrived they sat in Draco's office and ate.
"I am going to need to stop by my house to pick up some more clothes before we go out tonight. So after work can we stop by there?"
"That's fine. Pick up stuff to last at least a week just incase."
"Alright, I am going to get back to work. Do you need anything before I go back to my desk?"
"Yeah I do need something."
As Draco said that he walked up to her and kissed her senseless
When he broke the kiss she still had her eyes closed and a sedated look on her face.
"You know if you keep kissing me like that we aren't going to get any work done and there are still tons of files I need to get through." Hermione told him.
"Oh is that your way of telling me that you don't want me to kiss you anymore? Fine I will just go back to work."
As Draco was about to turn around and go back to his desk Hermione threw herself at him knocking him on top of the desk. She kissed him hard not letting him take control. She shoved her tongue into his mouth exploring. She broke the kiss after about 5 minutes.
"I don't want you to stop kissing me, I just don't want you to loose anymore business because we keep snogging."
"Alright, alright you win. You will just have to make it up to me later on tonight." He told her with a suggestive grin.
"If you're a good boy we will see." She said back as she sashayed out the door.
"I'm never a good boy." Draco yelled to her.
At 6 Draco decided to call it quits for the day.
"You ready to go?"
"Yeah just let me clean up my desk then we can be on our way."
They picked up some more of Hermiones things before heading back to the manor. They both took showers separately because they didn't want to be late for dinner.
They got to the restaurant to find Ginny and Harry already there. The minute Ginny saw Hermione she ran up to her and gave her a big hug.
"I've missed you Hermione. It's been too long. We have to start seeing more of each other." Ginny said quickly.
"I missed you too Gin."
"You know women are always too mushy." Draco said.
"I know, watch in a minute they are going to start crying." Harry responded.
Both women looked at their men and hit them upside their heads.
"Ow, that hurt. Why did you hit me?" Draco asked
"For making fun of Gin and me, we haven't seen each other in a while. She is like a sister to me. I told you to be a good boy, now that is out the window." Hermione told him
"Hey, that's not fair."
"Do I even want to know what you two are talking about?" Harry asked
"Well you see Hermione owes me a good…." Hermione threw her hand over his mouth.
"Let's go in and find somewhere to sit." Hermione said glaring at Draco.
After they found a spot in the back they made polite conversation before Madame Rosemerta came to take their orders.
As Ginny and Harry were ordering Draco leaned close to Hermione so he could whisper in her ear.
"You know telling me to be a good boy earlier wasn't fair. You know I am never a good boy. I will just have to so you how bad I really can be later." He said nipping her ear.
Hearing Draco say those things made Hermione blush like a little school girl
"So Hermione how did you go from working with Draco to dating him?" Ginny asked.
"I needed a way to support myself and Draco had a job that would pay well enough and as to us dating it was just fate I guess." She told them while looking at Draco.
Draco smiled and kissed her on the cheek. The food arrived at that time also.
After they were finished eating they decided to walk around Hogsmead.
"Oh Gin I forgot to tell you that I got two kittens. A boy whose name is Astraios and a girl named Artemis. They are just the cutest little things you have to see them." Hermione told Ginny while linking arms with her.
The girls walked ahead of the men and chatted for away about all kinds of things.
"So any leads on Lucas yet?" Draco asked.
"Not yet but I am sure he is going to show up with in the next few days."
"Well as long as you guys catch him soon. I don't want Hermione to have to worry about him anymore."
"You really care about her don't you?"
"I have cared about her since that summer she helped me. I started to love her during 7th year and have since I just never got the chance to act on."
"Have you told her that you love her yet?"
"No, I don't want to come on to strong with her just incase she decides that she doesn't think I am worth being in a relationship with me."
"I have known her for years no and I haven't seen her happy like this since she found out that she was made head girl. Even if she hasn't said it yet I can see it in the way she looks at you, she loves you."
"You think so?"
"I know it. Just say it to her."
"You know you're not that bad of a guy Potter."
"Same can be said about you and I think we should be on a first name bases Draco."
"Good idea."
Just then they heard Hermione and Ginny scream. They looked and saw Hermione standing in front of Ginny and Lucas a few feet from them. Before they were able to get to them Lucas grabbed Hermione and punched her in the face then through her to the ground.
Draco in a blind rage ran up and tackled Lucas and started punching him frantically. Lucas fought back full force and was able to push Draco off of him. Before Draco had a chance to tackle him again he saw Harry jump on him first. Harry hit Lucas hard in the face causing Lucas to go down hard.
"Hermione are you ok?" Draco asked walking up to her.
"I'm fine just going to have a fat lip tomorrow."
"You ok Gin?" Harry asked wrapping his arms around her.
"Draco look out!" Hermione screamed.
Before anyone could move there was a loud resounding shot. Lucas had some how acquired a gun in the few days that he was missing. He had been aiming for Hermione but at the last second Draco shoved Hermione back on the ground and fell on top of her.
Harry pulled out his wand when he saw Draco go down and disarmed Lucas and put a binding spell on him and checked to make sure he wouldn't be able to get up again. He then ran back to Draco to see how bad he was hurt.
Hermione had rolled him onto his back to check to see how bad the wound was. She was crying hysterically. When Draco had fallen on top of Hermione his head had some how made contact with the ground knocking him unconscious.
"Draco wake up please wake up."
Harry checked to see how bad the gun wound was but there was so much blood he couldn't tell. They needed to get him to St. Mungos.
Hermione we need to get him to St. Mungos I will apparate him there Gin will bring you. Don't argue you won't make it there without splinching yourself." Harry told her.
Harry grabbed on to Draco and apparated away, Ginny followed with Hermione seconds later.
"We need some help." Harry yelled.
A nurse came running up to them and showed them to a room. She pushed them out and got a doctor to check Draco out.
"This is all my fault. He wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me." Hermione cried.
"Hermione, Draco isn't going to blame you for anything. It isn't your fault that Lucas was a crazy person." Ginny said hugging Hermione
"Oh my god we just left Lucas lying there. Won't he get away?" Ginny asked
"No I put a binding spell on him and sent out a signal the area should be swarming with Aurors." Harry said.
It took an hour before anyone would tell Hermione if Draco was alright. She paced frantically back and forth in front of his room the whole time blaming herself. No matter how many times Ginny and Harry told her it wasn't her fault. Finally the doctor came out and told Hermione that he was going to be just fine. That they got the bullet out and healed the wound as best they could but he would need a little time to regain his strength. He had a slight concussion as well.
Before the doctor was totally finished explaining that to Hermione she rushed into the room to find Draco standing up and getting dressed.
"Draco what are you doing you should be laying down not putting your clothes on."
"I am not going to stay here over night I don't like hospitals. I can get rest at home. The doctor already told me it was fine to leave." Draco said grabbing her arm and walking out the door.
"Thanks Harry for the help. Tell us what happens to Lucas when you can. Ginny it was nice seeing you again. We will have to go out to dinner again soon. We are going to go back to my house. Night all" Draco said fast.
He apparated himself and Hermione back to the manor and walked upstairs.
Hermione just stood in the foyer looking after him. He was acting as if he was mad at her. She didn't know what to do. She figured she could get her clothes and cats and go back to her house.
She headed up stairs and went to his room. She heard the shower on and started collecting her clothes and belonging that she had brought over for the week. She was just about to walk out the door when she heard Draco speak.
"Where are you going?"
"I figured you wanted to be alone and rest so I was going to go home."
"What gave you the idea I wanted to be alone?"
"How brazen you were acting. You seemed to be mad at me after leaving the hospital."
He walked up to her and wrapped her in his arms resting his chin on her head.
"I wasn't mad at you I was mad at myself for not protecting you better. I should have stuck close to you tonight. I knew he was still out there and would hurt you. I figured you would be upset with me. I told you that you were safe with me."
"I am safe with you. You stopped him from hurting me bad; I mean what is a fat lip. I could have done that just by falling or something." She said stroking his shoulder where he had been shot.
"I would die to protect you Hermione. You mean the world to me. When I saw him hit and throw you to the ground I wanted to kill him. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. I love you."
Hermione looked up into his eyes and saw the sincerity in them. She couldn't believe that she had fallen for him so fast and that he loved her back.
"You're my guardian angel Draco. I love you too." She said before kissing him.
They stood there kissing for a while then Draco pulled away and rested his head against hers.
"Let's get some sleep. We are going to take the day off tomorrow just relax."
"Sounds good to me, let me change and I will join you in bed."
Hermione went into the bathroom and decided she needed a shower to wash away the ordeal. She walked out of the bathroom 20minutes later to find Draco already asleep.
She walked over to the bed and crawled in. Before she was totally settled she felt Draco wrap his arms around her pulling her to him.
"Night love" He said kissing her neck.
"Night Draco"
Sorry it took me longer to post then normal. I just started a new job and have to work a lot so it might take me a while to post chapters. Well hope you all enjoy.
