A/N: :P thanks for the reviews :P This one will mostly be in regular time… : ) Plenty of Draco and Hermione too. :P Hope you all enjoy :P A lot of the stuff in this is happening simultaneously.
OoOo Hermione oOoO
"Draco," Hermione whispered quietly as she gently touched her husband's shoulder. It was one a.m., in the morning of course… That's just a little redundant, any who. She couldn't sleep. Part of the reason she couldn't was because Draco was snoring and the other was that she had a lot on her mind. "Draco." She said shaking him. "Wake up!" She slapped him on the shoulder.
"Oww!" He moaned in sleepily. The irritation was clear in his voice. "Mia, what the hell was that for?" He asked covering his head with his fluffy down pillow and trying to drown her voice out. "Do you know what time it is?"
"I can't sleep." She said ignoring his questions all together. She was lying on her side with her left hand under her head. She listened as he sighed.
"What do you expect me to do about it? And how does this require me to be awake?" He asked as he moved the pillow from off of his head. He shifted so that he was on his side with his head propped up on his hand.
"I don't know. Just talk to me." She said as he took her left hand in his free one. He began rubbing circles on the palm of her hand.
"What do you want to talk about?" His voice was low and sweet.
"I don't know." She said briefly closing her eyes to ponder the question. She hadn't exactly thought about what they would talk about. Her main focus had been to wake him up; she hadn't exactly thought that through.
"So, what's on your mind?" He asked as he watched her eyes slowly open and look towards him.
"I can't quit thinking about that book." She finally said after a short pause. "Mira had so much ahead of her, so many things to lose… But she was willing to give all of that up just to have the two of us." She explained. It wasn't so much of a complex question; it was just something that was on the back of her mind.
She couldn't help but think about how her daughter's great friends. She had plenty of things to look forward to… She had Jace who really liked her and that she really liked back. Yeah she knew that all of those people were bound to be in her life even after all of that, but none of that would be the same for her. Circumstances would always be different. The girl in the journal, even though she technically was, wasn't the girl they would know, and Hermione knew that.
"Mia, you don't need to worry about that." He said smiling. "What's done is done, and I'm sure everything will be fine." He assured her. "She knew what she was getting into, she will have thought about that, and if she is as smart as think she is, she will have found a loop hole." He scooted closer to her so that he could wrap his arms around her...
Hermione giggled as he did so. She placed her head on his chest and took in a deep breath.
"And what, my love, might I ask is so funny?" Draco asked whispering into her ear. He was tired and it was apparent in his voice.
"It's nothing really." She insisted, "It's just funny how you can still make my heart race." She explained looking up at him. He smirked tiredly down at her, "Even when we are talking about something serious."
"Oh, really?" He asked leaning down closer to her. "Am I making you nervous?" He whispered into her ear seductively.
"Just a little," She said, her words barely there, her breath catching in her throat.
His smirk grew wider as he rolled her onto her back and positioned himself above her. Hermione giggled as his lips met hers, she felt as if her body was on fire.
"Draco," She said reluctantly pushing him away. "We have company." He sighed as she reminded him. Everyone had opted to stay the night so that they could start in on the book when they all got up in the morning. And some were just next door.
"So what, the walls aren't that thin. No one will ever know." He said kissing a trail down her neck.
"What if someone decides they need something and walk in…" She asked sadly as she remembered all the times they get interrupted.
"They won't do that twice." He teased. "And I am pretty sure they would knock first…" He said sliding his hands under her shirt. His touch sent sparks through her body. "We do have a long record of scaring people for life…"
"That doesn't mean they will knock…" Hermione said as she let him pull her shirt over her head. His hands moved to just below her chest as he kissed her passionately. Hermione let her hands slide down and slowly they peeled each other's clothes off. So let's say they were tired when they finally had to 'be awake.'
OoOo Harry oOoO
"I don't think they realize that their wall is just a little bit thinner than they think it is…" Harry said to Ginny as he looked over at his clock. It was two o'clock in the morning. "Do they always do 'that' at the butt crack of dawn…?"
Ginny laughed, "I don't know, nor do I want too… But, well… look on the upside…" Ginny said thoughtfully.
"There's an upside?" Harry asked looking up at the ceiling with a scrunched up face. The thought was confusing, he definitely saw no upsides.
"They could be in the room with us…" She whispered. "That would be horrifying." She said turning onto her side and facing the window. She could faintly see the stars along the horizon. The window was open, meaning that they could hear the crickets chirping in the hot summer air. It sounded like one of those nature CD's people listen to when they try to sleep.
"There's that…" Harry turned to face her. "I can't believe you said yes." He said smiling. "I get to have you all to myself for the rest of eternity… No one else can have you."
"Why would I not want to marry you? Harry, I have loved you since before I even met you." She laughed. "When I was ten, I chased the train for a mile and a half trying to get to you." Harry snorted.
"Your parents let you chase a train for a mile and a half?" He asked skeptically.
"Yes, I did.' She said turning to face him. "I would have chased it farther had Mum not sent dad after me."
"I really put you through Hell didn't I?" Harry asked after a minuet. "I didn't pay attention to you for six years…"
"It was worth the wait Harry. I wouldn't wish anything different." Her voice was quiet and small. "Do you remember when I was taken to the chamber?" She asked.
"How could I forget that? We almost died…" He said taking her hand in his.
"Well, I remember waking up and seeing you there, it was like one of those cheesy princess stories where the prince saves the princess from dying a terrible death. I thought I had died there for a moment." She laughed a little. "The way you were looking at me. You looked so concerned and worried about me, you didn't seem to care that you were hurt as well."
"You were a friend…" He said scooting closer to her. "And I cared more about your safety than my own."
"Why, you were the most important person in the war…" Ginny said laying her head on his chest. "Everyone needed you, I was just another person."
He tilted her head up so that she was looking at him. "You are just as important as I am. Don't you ever forget that?" He said wrapping his arms around her and kissing her forehead.
OoOo Taylor oOoO
"Merlin! Will you shut up already?" Taylor said tiredly as she covered her head with her pillow. She, Christian, Cherokee and Seamus had all been roomed together. And now thinking back on it, she wished she hadn't agreed to that.
"I don't think he can help it…" Christian whispered from beside her, though maybe his words were just muted by his pillow. He groaned miserably.
"I think I might kill him," Cherokee said angrily from the other side of the room.
This room had two beds… "If he doesn't shut up in the next three second…" Seamus had been singing Mambo number five in his sleep for the last hour.
"One, two, three, four, five, everybody in the car so let's go for a ride to the liquor store by the corner…" He started over for the hundredth time already.
"Cherokee, you may be my best friend… And I love you to death, and don't take this personally… But you have lost your frickin mind with this one…" Taylor said laughing.
"Hah, I just might kill him yet… So I can't actually take it personally…" She said grabbing her pillow and hitting him with it repeatedly. "Stop singing mambo number five!" She screamed; he stopped singing abruptly.
"If he was awake, I am hexing him into oblivion…" Christian mussed as he closed his eyes, finally some peace and quiet.
"Thank Merlin above." Taylor said closing her eyes as well. Just as she and everyone else was drifting to sleep…
"YO, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT WHAT I REALLY, REALLY WANT! SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT WHAT YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT!"
"Urghhh." they all groaned miserably. It just didn't look like the madness would ever end… "Will this madness never end…?" It wasn't until he got the chorus Oops I did it again that the three tired teens all got up to go sleep in the sitting room. The floor and couch would be better than the pop star they were sharing a room with…
OoOo Hermione (the next morning)oOoO
Hermione trudged down the stairs tiredly the next morning. It was a little earlier than she would like, seeing as it was only six in the morning. She paused when she got to the kitchen. She hadn't been expecting anyone to be there. But she was wrong, inside sat three tired teens.
"Hi." She said seeing Taylor, Cherokee and Christian sitting at the island all with a cup of coffee in hand. Taylor was eyeing her cup with disgust.
"Hi." The all chimed in blankly. They all had bags under their eyes. They obviously hadn't gotten to much sleep the previous night.
"What are you three doing up so early?" She asked as Draco walked up beside her, he was just as surprised as his wife had been.
"Well it wasn't really our choice… Cherokee's pop star of a boyfriend sings in his sleep." Taylor explained as she rested her head on the table and carefully closed her eyes. "And this coffee is disgusting." She dumped it into the sink.
"I have never heard anyone sing oops I did it again that off key…" Christian said as he rubbed his eyes. "Remind me to never share a room with him again." He said tiredly.
"Remind me to place silencing charms on him next time…" Cherokee said causing Taylor and Christian to gaze at her angrily… "What? What did I say?"
"You couldn't have used one on him last night…" Christian asked.
"Well, the thought never crossed my mind…" She said innocently. "And besides, I didn't see the two of you jumping to cast one on him…" she was suddenly defensive.
"He isn't out boyfriend." Taylor said in a lawyer like voice. She could argue her case…
"Well…" Cherokee started to argue but was cut off.
"Just drop it… it's too early to argue…" Christian said taking a drink of his coffee. "And quite honestly I don't want to listen to it…"
"Fine," both girls sighed in defeat and went back to what they had been doing.
"Hello!" Ginny said cheerfully as she walked into the room. She was just a bit too cheerful.
"I hate morning people." Taylor said causing everyone to laugh. Hermione rolled her eyes and went to sit on an open stool.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed…" Ginny said trying to lighten the mood. "And it's called Pepper up potion." Ginny informed them matter of factly.
"Ginny, I know not what bed you are referring to…" Taylor said, and the paused. It didn't quite make sense when she said it. "Yeah that works…" Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and could you get me some of that potion… I think we could all use some."
"We slept on the sitting room floor last night." Christian explained getting up from his seat to put his cup in the sink. "Seamus decided that he wants to be the next American idol…"
"Doesn't that require you to be American?" Harry asked as he walked up behind Ginny and hugged her. "And what does that make you…"
"Try telling that to Seamus…" Cherokee said.
"I get to be Simon…" Taylor said after a moment… "I could totally crush dreams at this point." Everyone laughed at that. "What? I am being completely serious…"
"No one said you weren't." Hermione said laughing.
"Could you all be any louder?" Seamus asked walking into the room, three people turned to glare at him.
"You're one to talk." Christian said sarcastically… "If I remember correctly you were singing Opps I did it again at the top of your lungs and wouldn't shut up."
"Ha-ha, good one mate." He said putting bread into the toaster.
"He was being completely serious." Taylor said blankly. "And because of you I am almost to function to tired…" Everyone started laughing at her.
"I don't get it…" Taylor said as Ginny handed her a pepper up potion. She took it and instantly became more animated… "Much better…" She said getting up… "I am going to sit in the library…" She walked away leaving the laughter behind her.
