Several blissful months past after her confrontation with her parents, they spent their days working together and their nights at each others house. Hermione read Draco some of her favorite books in the time that they spent together.
They spent Christmas Eve with the Weasley's and Harry. Christmas day they spent together at the manor. They woke up that morning and opened gifts that they had bought each other. Draco got Hermione a collection of classic books that she always talked about that included Little Women, The Odyssey, Pride and Prejudice and The complete collections of the Grimm Fairy tales. She was so happy when she saw what they were that she jumped on Draco.
He was shocked to find that she had gotten him a sketch book and pencils. He had never told anyone that he loved to draw. He asked her how she found out, she told him that she had seen some of his drawings while they had been in school and found them to be amazing.
The rest of the day after they had opened all their gifts they went over to Blaise and Lavenders for dinner.
For New Years they threw a party at the manor and invited everyone. That night Draco made a few business deals that brought his company to being the number one supplier of Quidditch goods.
It was nearing Valentines Day which happened to be their 6th month anniversary. They still hadn't made plans as to what they were going to do.
Hermione was sitting at her desk reading a magazine when Draco came walking out. She looked up at him and saw the look in his eyes. She knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"I've got some bad news. I have to go out of town tonight and won't be back for 2 weeks. I am going to miss our anniversary. The New York Dragons want me to come and see over their games so that my company can design them equipment special for each team member. I'm sorry love I will make it up to you I promise." He told her in a rush.
Hermione just got up and went over to give him a hug.
"Its alright it's for your company. I will just miss sleeping next to you every night. We can just celebrate it when you get back. What time do you leave tonight? Do we at least have time for dinner?"
"We will have time if we leave now and get take out so that I can pack."
"Just let me clean up my desk and we will leave."
Draco stood there and watched her as she cleaned up. How was he going to survive two weeks without her with him? He knew that they couldn't both leave town for that long he depended on her to keep things going while he was away.
They headed to their favorite Chinese food place then headed back to the manor. They chose to eat in Draco's room so that he could pack and eat at the same time. They were expecting him to be there at the hotel at 8 that night.
"Are you going to stay here or at your place while I am gone?"
"I am going to stay there. Your house is too big for me to stay in all alone at least at my house I have my cats."
Draco stood at his closet looking at her lying on the bed looking at the ceiling. He was going to miss her terribly. It was going to be an extremely long two weeks. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that I was only 6:30 they had plenty of time together. He put the last suit into is suit case and walked over to the bed. He laid himself on top of her.
"What are you thinking?" He asked her as he kissed her neck.
"What I am going to do while your gone I mean I am going to just have so much free time."
"You sound as if you want the free time"
"Not at all, I'm just saying I will be bored while you're gone. When you're around you keep me entertained." She said as she bit his ear.
"Oh, really? So that's all I am good for? To entertain you?" He asked her tickling her.
"No no you're better at a lot of other things to but entertaining me is one of your best. Stop tickling me." She said as she was struggling to get him to stop tickling her.
There wasn't much talk after that. They made love then laid there talking for a while before Draco started getting dressed.
"You are a very big distraction you know that?"
Hermione was lying on the bed on her side with her head propped on her hand, the sheet only covering her lower half leaving her breast out in the open for him to see.
"I know that you can't stay but doesn't mean I am not going to try to convince you to stay." She told him with a smirk.
"I will get you back for that" He said as he ran to the bed and jumped on her kissing her senseless.
"I really have to go now though. I will call you in the morning. I love you." He said giving her one last kiss.
"I love you too."
After Draco left Hermione got dressed then apparated home. She could have taken Draco's car but didn't want to drive. She got home and felt the emptiness of Draco not being there. Sure they had spent time apart but at night they were always together. She decided that she would take a shower then try to go to sleep. She still had to go to work in the morning.
She laid in bed for an hour before she gave up on trying to sleep. She went in to her living room and chose one of her romantic books to read. She was half through the third chapter when her cell phone rang. She rushed to get it because if someone was calling her this late at night it must be and emergency.
"Hello?"
"Hey love, you still awake I take it?"
"Yeah, I gave up a while ago. It appears that I can't sleep without you next to me."
"Same for me, the meetings tomorrow morning are going to be hell. So what are you doing then?"
"Reading a book"
"Want to read me some more of Pride and Prejudice since we are both awake?"
"Why not maybe it will help you go to sleep so that you can be rested for your meetings."
For about an hour Hermione read to Draco before she realized he had fallen asleep while she had been talking. She could hear the sound of his even breathing. Listening to him sleep made her close her eyes for a few minutes. She ended up falling asleep to.
"Hermione? Love wake up." Draco kept saying into the phone trying to get her to wake up.
Hermione could hear the sound of Draco's voice making her stir. She was going to roll over and give him a kiss but ended up landing on the floor. She had forgotten that she had fallen asleep on the couch.
Draco heard the thud on the other line he got worried when she didn't answer him right away.
"Hermione are you alright?"
"Yeah I am fine; I just fell off the couch."
"Sorry to wake you so early I just wanted to say bye before I hung up."
"Its fine it will be better if I sleep in the bed. Have a good day today."
"Bye love, don't work all day and night."
By Wednesday Hermione was going nuts she missed Draco so much that she wasn't even paying attention at work. The second night he was gone she went over to Blaise's house for dinner but no matter what he or Lavender did they couldn't get her to cheer up. She was miserable without him around. She was sad that they weren't going to get to spend their 6th month anniversary together.
She was sitting at work staring at the wall for about an hour before she made the decision that she was going to go to him. She didn't care what he would say she was going to New York and spend time with him. She went home and packed enough clothes that would last her till she came back home.
She flooed to the hotel that Draco was staying at and asked what room he was staying in and got a key by telling then she was his wife and he was expecting her. It was almost 9 so she figured that he would be out still. She planned to go his room and light a few candles and put on some nice music for when he got there. She would have rose petals leading to the bed room where she planned to be lying on the bed in lingerie in his favorite color.
When she got to his room and walked in the lights where on in the small sitting room that was in the suite. She could hear the shower on. It surprised her that he was in at this hour. She thought that he would be out at a club are at least a play.
She put her bag down and decided that she would join him in the shower. She stripped her clothes as she walked into the bathroom. She could see Draco standing under the shower head with one hand on the wall. He seemed to be enjoying the hot water. She opened the glass door quietly she he wouldn't hear her.
She encircled her arms around his waste causing him to jump and swing around causing Hermione to fall right on her ass.
"Hermione, what the hell are you doing here? You scared me half to death." He said looking at her as she got up and grimaced.
"Ah sorry love I didn't mean to hurt you. You startled me."
"It's my own fault we both seem to be jumpy still. I might have a bruise though."
Before she had time to answer his other question about being why she was there he grabbed her to his body and gave her a long kiss.
"God I've missed being able to do that any time of the day. Why did you come and how did you get into my room?" He asked stroking her back.
"I didn't want to be away from you anymore. I missed you to much and as for me getting into your room I told the front desk that I was your wife and you were expecting me."
"If you're here then who is taking care of the office?"
"I routed the phone line to my cell so I won't miss any calls and asked Blaise to get the mail while we are gone but if you would rather me be there then I will just go." She said as started to get out of the shower.
"Oh no you don't." He said grabbing her and kissing her again pushing her against the wall.
"So you told them you are my wife? What made you think to say that?"
"I wanted to get in here to surprise you but its better that you're here already because then I couldn't do this." She said as she kissed him again while bringing her hand down to stroke his member.
Draco let go of her to put his hands on the shower wall. God how he had missed her. They had only been apart for three days and he had felt so lost without her. He let her stroke him for a few more minutes before he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her hand and brought it to his chest and pushed her against the wall.
"It's weird I haven't seen you in three days but I feel like it has been months. I missed you baby." He said as he nibbled on her neck.
"I know what you mean, that's why I said screw it and came to be here with you. From now on I am going to travel with you it will save us lots of time."
"Good idea but now I have a better one put your legs around me."
Hermione didn't even hesitate she did as he said and lifted her legs around him. The minute she did Draco entered her. They both moaned loudly. Draco started out taking long slow strokes but sped up his pass when he felt Hermione squeeze his butt.
It didn't take long for either of them to reach their peaks. Hermione came first, biting Draco's shoulder in the process not wanting to scream because she would have been loud and didn't want to get a noise complaint against them.
Draco reached his peak right after. He put his head in the croak of her neck to catch his breath.
"Draco? Do you think you could let me down your kind of squishing me against the wall?"
"Sorry, you took the strength right out of me. What do you say we shower then go get some dinner? Have you ever been to New York?"
"Sounds good and no I haven't been here before. I always wanted to come here to go to the Museum of Natural History." She told him as she started washing her hair.
"I guess I have a lot to show you while we are here don't I?"
They got ready then headed out for dinner. Draco wouldn't tell her where he was taking her not that she really cared. She was just happy to going out with him that night.
"Since I know how much you love Italian Food I figured we could just grab some pizza from one of the vendors and go for a walk in Central Park. What do you think?"
"Sounds good to me but it doesn't matter as long as I'm with you." She told him looking up into his eyes.
Draco stopped walking and gave her a light kiss. He could get use to this. Taking business trips and having Hermione with him, getting to spend the night walking around Central Park with her.
They continued walking till they found a vendor. They both got a slice of pizza and a drink to share. After they ate their food they decided to just walk around the park.
"What time do you have to get to work in the morning?"
"7 O'clock. Don't worry though we still have plenty of time together tonight, it's only going on 7. So we can walk through the whole park or head back to the hotel and just relax."
"I think we should go back to the hotel and watch a movie."
"Sounds like a plan." He said as he threw his arm around her shoulders.
They got back to the hotel and settled on the couch to start watching a movie.
"What do you want to watch?" Hermione asked
"Whatever you want to watch is fine. I really don't know many movies."
"Ok, then I say we watch the 10th Kingdom. Its one of my favorite movies of all time. It's kind of long so I don't think we are going to finish it tonight."
"Ok, what's it about?"
"It has a lot of the stories that the Grimm brothers wrote in it. It starts here in New York then eventually proceeds to the nine kingdoms where Virginia, her father Tony, Prince Wendell and Wolf have to save the nine kingdoms from the evil witch who is Wendell's step mother. It has Snow White, Cinderella and other Grimm brother characters."
"Sounds interesting, I take it your going to just use your wand for us to be able to watch it."
"Of course, I highly doubt it will be playing on any channels. Before we start it though I am going to go change into pjs." She told him as she proceeded to get up and walk into the room.
Draco thought that it would be a good idea to get into more comfortable clothes so he followed her and pulled out a pair of pajama pants. After he finished changing he headed back out to the couch and sprawled himself across it.
Since the couch faced away from the bedroom door Draco didn't see Hermione walk out. She walked over to the back of the couch and jumped over it landing on Draco.
"Well when you said you were going to get more comfortable you meant it. Nice shirt. I think I've seen it before I just can't remember where. Oh right it was that girls from the other night. I told her….ow ow ow stop hitting me. I'm only joking love." Draco said flipping her over and pinning her to the couch.
"I don't even like you joking about other women and you know that. You just wanted to rile me and pin me down didn't you?"
"You are learning my ways way to fast."
As Draco kissed her neck Hermione pulled her wand out of the sleeve of his shirt and waved it at the TV.
"You know I find that insulting"
"What?" She asked still looking at the TV.
"I was in the middle of making a move and you turned on the TV and started watching it"
Hermione looked up at him with a Cheshire cat grin. She then proceeded to run her hands up his back to his hair then pulled his face forward to give him a long passionate kiss.
"Still insulted, did you ever think I was doing it to just get a reaction out of you?"
"You little tease, I will deal with you later but right now the movie is starting and I want to see it. If it's one of your favorites then I want to be able to quote lines to you to make you happy."
"You are so cute you know that?"
"Why thank you, your not so bad yourself" He kissed her on the forehead. He moved on the couch till he was lying with his head on her stomach.
As the movie started Hermione started singing along with the song in the beginning.
'I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see'
They sat in silence just watching the movie. Hermione would look at Draco every time one of her favorite parts would come up to see his reaction. Draco found the Trolls to be quiet amusing.
Around 10o'clock Draco turned to Hermione to ask her something about the gypsies but noticed that she was asleep. Draco stopped the movie and turned the TV off. He picked her up and started towards the bedroom. She woke up when he placed her on the bed and pulled the covers back.
"Why did you turn off the movie?" She asked stretching.
"You fell asleep love, plus I have to get up for work in the morning."
"How long are you going to be working tomorrow?"
"I don't know we are testing products out tomorrow. My company made special brooms for all the players so we need to make sure that they are all adequate."
"What am I going to do all day?"
"Why not see the city?"
"It won't be any fun without you. Do you think it would be ok I just go with you to work?"
"I don't see why not, you work for me so you would be aloud to be there taking notes or something. Now let's get some sleep." He said as he turned off the lights and made his way to the bed. He crawled in and grabbed Hermione to him.
"God, how I miss sleeping next to you. Now since tomorrow is Valentines Day and our anniversary we are going to go out to a nice dinner. That all right with you?"
"Sounds great, goodnight Draco" She said kissing his chest.
"Night my love" He said giving her a proper kiss.
The next morning they go up and got ready for work. A car picked them up outside of the hotel and took them to the Quidditch field, which was hidden just like the one in England. They got there just as the team took off to fly around the field and test out their new brooms.
Draco walked over to the couch, whose name was Jack.
"What do you think?"
"They all seem to be great and suited for all the players. Your company does good work."
"Thank you. It's always nice to hear that ones company has done well. Why don't we join them and play a game of Quidditch?"
"Sounds like a plan let me grab my broom; there are extra ones if you need one."
"No I have my broom with me. I don't go anywhere without it." Draco then proceeded to pull out his broom.
The couch seemed to be in awe by it. It was dark Mahoney wood with a silver dragon spiraling around the handle blowing out green flames.
"Where did you get that broom?"
"I designed it myself a few years ago. It called the Dragon. Every few years I upgrade it."
"You know you could market that broom and it would make grate money."
"I never thought of that, I will have to think about it. Now let's get to playing."
"I'll grab my broom and be right back."
"Do you want to play at all?" He asked Hermione.
"No, I don't like flying I would rather just stay on the ground."
"Won't you be bored then?"
"No I brought a book with me, besides I always liked watching you play. Every game the Slytherins played I made sure that I watched you. It gave me an opportunity to admire you from a far." She told him while putting her arms around him and resting her chin on his chest staring at him.
"I thought I saw you staring a few times. If we had just told each other how we felt it would have made school more interesting and enjoyable." He said kissing her.
"You ready to fly? Hermione did you want to join us?"
"No I am fine but thank you. I am just going to go and sit in the stands."
Draco and Jack mounted their brooms and took off. They spilt the team up into two making Draco the head of one of the teams and Jack took the other. They started the game. Jacks team scored first and kept a lead for the majority of the game.
As Draco was flying around looking for the snitch he let his gaze wonder to the belchers and saw a guy sitting close to Hermione and talking to her. She seemed to be enjoying the conversation to. Then he saw the guy put his arm around Hermione pulling her closer to him and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
The game was almost over so Draco tried to get his head back in the game and find the snitch but he kept looking and Hermione and the guy that's when a bludger hit him in his rib cage. He instantly fell off of his broom. No one was fast enough to catch him before he hit the ground. The minute Hermione saw him get hit she took off and ran for the field. Hermione was able to soften his impact by casting a spell to make the ground soft.
She fell beside him and started checking him for injuries. The teams all landed around Draco to see if he was alright. Just ask Hermione put her hands on his ribs he moaned and pushed himself up. He looked at her and saw the guy standing behind her.
"It would help if you didn't push on my ribs, there broken. Just stop poking me." He snapped and pushed himself up.
"I was trying to see how hurt you were."
"I'll go get our team nurse." One of the guys said taking off.
Hermione positioned herself to where she was sitting behind Draco letting him lean on her to take pressure off of his stomach and ribs. She stroked his hair a few times before he grabbed her hand and pushed it away.
When the nurse got there she told them that she needed to move him to the locker room and get a better look at him. The team helped carry him to the locker room. Hermione noticed right away the way she kept looking at Draco like he was a piece of meat for the taking. Draco seemed to be focused on her as well. Hermione took a set next to Draco and grabbed for his hand but he pulled away. She looked at him to see what was wrong but he wouldn't look at her.
"I am going to need all of you to step outside for me to look him over and make sure he doesn't have any other injuries."
Hermione looked at Draco and just kept sitting there as the team walked back out to the field.
"You need to leave to; I want to make sure he gets the care he needs."
"I don't have to leave. If it's going to be a problem for me to stay here then I will jus take him to the local hospital."
"And tell them what; he got his with tones of rock?"
"No I will tell them he got with a baseball bat while playing baseball."
"Hermione just go wait outside, I don't want to wait to be healed. You can't help her anyways." He snapped.
Hermione sat there and looked at him. He wasn't even looking at her but seemed to be focused on the nurse. She had no idea was he was acting the way he was.
"Fine" She snapped back getting up walking out.
She walked back to the stands and grabbed her bag she wasn't going to wait for him. If he didn't want her help then fine he wasn't going to stay around to make sure he was alright. She walked out of the field and decided that she needed to go and take a walk. She chose to walk through the park.
Draco sat there and heard the door slam as Hermione walked out. He was regretting snapping at her the way he did. He was in pain for one and was annoyed that she wasn't watching him play instead she was talking and getting friendly with some guy.
As the nurse started checking him over he noticed she was a little too touchy. He grabbed her hands as she started to pull his pants down.
"My injury is to my ribs not my legs so just stick to that area." He snapped at her.
"I am just trying to make sure nothing else is injured." She told him sweetly again trying to pull down his pants.
He grabbed her hands again and pushed her away. "I told you it's just my ribs that are broken if I have bruises on my legs oh well they'll go away."
"You seem a little tense, I can help relieve that tension you know?"
"I'm not interested, I have a girlfriend. Now will you please just give me skeletal grow and bind my ribs so that I can just leave?"
"Your girlfriend didn't seem to be happy with you when you told her to leave."
"That's none of your business just heal me so I can go please."
"Fine" She snapped at him.
After she healed him he got up and left. He walked out and started looking for Hermione. He looked at the stands to where she had been sitting and saw she was gone. He walked up to the team and asked them. That's when he saw the guy Hermione had been talking to earlier.
"Do you guys know where Hermione is?"
"She left about 20 minutes ago when you where in the locker room. She seemed to be upset."
"She left? Well shit she doesn't know this city she could get hurt why didn't any of you stop her?" He asked as he took off walking extremely fast. It was his fault he was mean to her. If anything happened to her he wouldn't forgive himself.
He got back to the hotel and rushed up to their room. He walked in and saw Hermione sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Why didn't you wait for me? You could have gotten hurt, this isn't a safe city." He asked standing behind the couch.
She didn't answer him and just kept watching the TV. Draco walked over to her and crouched down in front of her. Just as he was about to take her hands into his she moved them and crossed her arms so he just put his hand on her legs.
"Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier. I was in pain and probably jealous."
"What the hell did you have to be jealous about?"
"Well I look over and see you sitting and getting cozy with some guy in the stands."
"The guy I was sitting with happens to be a cousin of mine. His name is Nathan."
"Cousin? Well now I feel like a complete ass. I'm sorry Hermione. I just got you in my life and I don't want to lose you to some other guy."
She sat there not looking at him for a few minutes then looked him straight in the eyes.
"You need to start talking to me instead of acting out."
"I will try really hard. I will make it up to you tonight at dinner. Oh and just so you don't hear it from someone else, the nurse hit on me a few times but I didn't do anything about it. I pushed her away." He told her putting his head on her legs.
"I knew you wouldn't have done anything. Why don't you go lay down for a while, I can see you are in pain. The skeletal grow should be working by now." She said running her fingers through his hair.
"I will sleep for a little while but we have plans to night. It is our anniversary, I have it all planned out." He said slowly getting up.
"Where are we going?" She asked while putting her arm around his waist to help him to the bedroom.
"It's a surprise. Are you going to lay with me?"
"I can but I wont go to sleep I am just going to read."
"Ok, as long as you are next to me."
Draco then walked into the bathroom and took a shower. He came out and found Hermione propped against the head bored reading book.
"What are you reading?" He asked climbing on the bed and putting his head on her stomach.
"Little women" She told him stroking his head.
Draco fell asleep for about 2 hours then woke up to find Hermione gone. He jumped out of bed thinking that she had maybe just wanted him to sleep so she could leave without the drama then he heard noise in the bathroom.
While Draco had been sleeping Hermione decided that she would start getting ready because Draco wouldn't take as long, she took a shower. She dried her hair then decided to curl it and put half of it up.
She chose one of her dark green form fitting dresses which in her opinion was a little too short for her. It didn't reach her knees but wasn't too high on the thighs she knew Draco would like it.
She decided that she didn't want to wear a bra with it only because it made the dress look weird. She chose her little black stiletto heels. She put on light make-up. She was looking herself over and thought something was missing. Then she realized she didn't put on any jewelry. She went through her bags but couldn't find her necklace and earrings she was looking for.
She walked out of the bathroom and headed for her suit case. She looked at the bed and noticed that Draco was missing. She grabbed her suit case and put it on the bed. She was searching through it when she felt Draco put his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"I have something for you. All you have to do is guess what pocket it's in." He turned her around and was stunned at the dress and how it looked.
"You look amazing. I love the dress. It would be better if you were wearing only the shoes but I will have to wait till later for that. Now pick a pocket."
"Don't rush me. I am admiring how you look." She said looking him over.
He was wearing an all black suit with a green tie. He had his hair in messy spikes. She always loved when his hair was messed up like that it made him look really hot.
"I chose the right one." She told him.
Draco pulled out a box and handed it to her. She opened it and found a green heart on a silver chain. The green jewel was surrounded by diamonds.
"Oh Draco is beautiful. When did you have time to buy this?"
"I got it the other day when I got done working. You like it?" He asked her as he took it and put it on her.
"I love it"
"It represents my heart."
Hermione looked at him and threw herself at him kissing him senseless. Hermione ended the kiss and just leaned her head against his.
"I love you so much Draco."
"I love you too baby. Now want to know what's in my other pocket?"
Draco pulled out another box and handed it to her. She looked up at him for a moment before opening it. There was a pair of emerald green earrings to match the necklace.
She put them on right away then kissed him again. Showing him how much she loved the gifts and him.
"You ready for dinner?"
"Yeah let's go, where are we going by the way?"
"Oh no I am not going to tell you where we are going, it's a surprise but you will love it I promise."
"Fine, but first I have something for you. It's not much but I figured it was better then something big." She then went to her purse and pulled out what looked like to be a small book then enlarged it with a wave of her wand.
She handed it to Draco and waited for his reaction. It was a scrap book of him and his mom from when he was a kid to when he had taken over the family business. He just stood there staring at it for a few minutes making Hermione think that she had done something wrong. She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder to see if he was ok. He put the book on the bed and grabbed her and hugged her.
"Thank you so much. I haven't seen some of these in years. I miss her so much." He told her kissing her forehead.
"I found them in the attic the other day. I wanted to do something special gift today."
"It means a lot to me. Now let's go to dinner so we can come back and have some more fun."
They grabbed their coats and headed out for dinner. Draco called his car service. They got in the car and headed to their destination. The whole way there Hermione kept trying to get it out of Draco but he wouldn't give it up even when she started feeling him up.
Just as Hermione was starting to unzip his pants he grabbed her hands and spun her around to show her the docks. There was a yacht all lit up waiting for them. Draco opened the car door and helped her out.
"I rented the boat for a few hours, there was something I wanted you to see but it's hard to see it in the middle of the city. Shall we?"
She grabbed his hand and headed to the boat.
"Draco this night has already been wonderful what more do you have to show me?"
"You'll see love."
They boarded the boat and Draco steered her towards the front where she could sit and watch the view. He went and started talking to some workers and then they all left the boat. Draco started the boat and took off.
"You amaze me, when did you learn how to drive a boat?"
"A few summers ago Blaise and me decided to take a boat trip around the world, we didn't make it far before we just gave up and realized we couldn't drive a boat so we paid someone to teach us."
After about an hour Draco stopped the boat and lowered the anchors. He walked over to Hermione and led her to the back of the boat where he had a beautiful dinner set out for them. He sat her down then started to serve the food and wine. They ate there food and just talked about their lives. After they were both done Draco grabbed her hand then her back to the front of the boat where Draco had set up cushions and a blanket for them to be able to enjoy the view of the city from afar.
"Tonight has been wonderful Draco. It's the best Valentines Day every." Hermione told him leaning her head back enough on his chest to kiss him.
"It's not over yet love. If you look at the sky I want to show you something."
"All I see is stars"
"Yeah but if you look at the bright star right in front of you, you'll find out I bought that star and named it after you."
"When did you buy it?"
"Our last year in school, by then I was so in love that it just felt right to buy you the star even if I wasn't ever able to tell you."
"Now you can tell me everything I don't plan to leave you Draco. I've never loved anyone so much. You saved me from death more then once."
"I have one more gift for you love." He told her as he pulled a small box out of his pocket.
He handed it to her and she just sat there starring at not sure if she should open it. When she did she could believer her eyes. In side of it was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It was a silver band with a white princess cut diamond. She saw an engraving on the inside of the band.
"Forever and always, that's what I want Hermione. The few days we were apart I realized that I couldn't be apart from you more then a few hours. I want to wake up to every day and go to sleep next to you at night. I want to raise kids with you. Hermione will you marry me?"
Hermione couldn't believe this. They had only been dating for more then a few months and he was already saying he wanted to stay with her for the rest of their lives. Did she want to be with him for the rest of her life? Yes she did she loved him more then anything. She knew what he meant when he said couldn't be apart from her. She needed him in her life so why not make it permanent?
"Yes Draco I will marry you." She told him spinning around and latching her lips onto his.
They sat kissing for a while before Draco broke the kiss.
"Lets head back to the hotel; I owe you for teasing me in the car."
"You can do anything to me right now and it won't matter because I know we are going to be spending the rest of our lives together soon."
Draco got up and started the boat. They made it back to shore in record time and got in the car to get back to the hotel. The minute they step inside the door Draco pinned Hermione against it and started kissing her as if she was a life line. He started to unbutton her shirt and stroking her arms.
"What do you say about heading to the bedroom and stripping out these clothes?"
"Sounds like a plan to me"
They went into the bedroom stripping clothes as they walked. They spent the next few hours enjoying each others bodies. They were just laying there resting and taking in the fact that they were going to get married.
"How many kids do you want?" Hermione asked Draco while stroking his chest.
"Three or four, I want three girls and a boy. What about you?"
"Three or four also but I want more boys then girls. Girls wants to many things in my opinion but really its not up to me if we have a boy or a girl. Its up to you"
"That's right but neither one of us will know till the day comes right?"
"Right, what do you think everyone is going to say?"
"I really don't care it's not like they can stop us from marrying. Since I finished early with the team we can head home tomorrow or spend a few days just enjoying New York"
"Let's stay an shop for a day then head home. I can't wait to tell Gin and Lav. I bet Gin and Harry will be happy for me"
"Why is that love?" He asked around a yawn.
"Because I have you and you make me happy" She said giving him a light kiss then laying her head on his chest.
They drifted off to sleep knowing that they had their whole lives together.
I know it took me forever to update I have just been really busy with work. This chapter took me a week to write because I had to keep going back and adding things and taking other things out. Hope you all enjoy.
