Hermione was getting ready to go to The Burrow, it was Sunday and Harry had guilted her into it. She was nervous she hadn't seen anyone but Ginny since Ron left and even then they'd stayed away from the subject. She'd decided she would only mention Draco if the subject came up, she wouldn't bring it up herself. Harry was already there he was helping Arthur Weasley with something, so she'd have to arrive alone.
She arrived at the gate and took a deep breath before walking through to the door. She knew there was no point knocking there was always too much noise, so she just opened the door and walked through. Almost immediately she was engulfed in a mass of red hair as Ginny gave her a hug.
'I wasn't sure you'd come!' She said.
'I said I would.' Hermione laughed hugging her back.
'Oh Hermione dear!' She was passed off to Molly Weasley. 'We've missed you.'
'I've missed you too Mrs. Weasley.' She said and she had.
'Oh don't be silly you know my name is Molly.' She said turning back to the stove.
'Do you need any help?' Hermione asked.
'No thankyou.' She said watching her self-stirring pans. 'But Katie is in the other room going through the wedding things.'
Hermione and Ginny made their way through to find Katie Bell. She was there with a large folder on her lap that Hermione knew contained all her wedding plans. Katie was marrying George. She had started working at the joke shop a couple years ago and they had recently become engaged. 'Hi Katie.'
'Oh Hermione!' Katie said looking up at her. 'Thank God you're here. I wanted to organize the bridesmaid dress fitting.'
'Do you still want me as a bridesmaid?' Hermione asked, after all she had been seeing Ron when Katie had asked her.
'Of course' she looked slightly panicked 'or don't you want to be?'
'No! I'd love to!' Hermione beamed.
The three of them spent the next hour or so going through wedding things before Molly shouted them through for dinner. They were all sat down about to eat when Hermione noticed George was missing.
'Where's George, Katie?' Hermione asked taking a bite of her dinner.
'Betty called in sick again!' She said. 'That girl is always sick! I probably won't invite her to the wedding, she'll probably be ill anyway.'
'Katie,' Hermione started 'speaking about your invites can I get a plus one?' She asked taking a big bite of chicken.
Everyone seemed to stop talking and look at her. Oh God she thought what's she done? She looked at Katie who had a huge grin on her face.
'Of course you can. What name should I put down?'
She swore everyone leaned forward to hear. She glanced at Harry who nodded his encouragement.
'Draco Malfoy.' She said.
There was a collective intake of breath and someone dropped a fork, probably Ginny. Hermione looked at Harry for help.
'Dinner is delicious as always Molly.' Harry rushed out.
'What?' Molly looked at him. 'Oh yes dear thankyou.'
A forced conversation was started around the table. Katie leaned over to Hermione.
'The Draco Malfoy?' She half whispered.
'Yes.' Hermione said clearing her throat.
'Well I'd love to hear the story of how that came about.' Katie smiled.
Hermione laughed. She was starting to feel better. After dinner she was dragged by the elbow, by Ginny to her room.
'Why didn't you tell me?' She demanded.
'I didn't know how you'd react.' She said. 'Ron was your brother, we've not long split up, and here I am sleeping with Draco Malfoy!'
'I'm meant to be one of your best friends Hermione.' Ginny said. 'You can talk to me about anything. I'm sorry you felt you couldn't' She took a breath. 'Ron is a complete idiot anyway. We all agree on that.'
'I'm sorry I didn't tell you Ginny.' Hermione said feeling relieved.
'It's ok. So Malfoy.' She smirked. 'That's a surprise. What's he like?'
'He's great Ginny.' Hermione smiled. 'He's not who we thought was.'
'What's he like in the bedroom?'
'Ginny!' Hermione laughed.
'What?' She said smiling back. 'I always wondered what lay under that shirt, and don't say you never did. Before you got the chance to look.'
'Well I don't have to wonder anymore.' Hermione smirked back.
'Oh come on Hermione! Cough it up!'
'No way!' Hermione laughed.
'You cow!' Ginny pouted. 'So how serious are you two?'
'I don't know.' Hermione sighed. 'Were meant to be just having fun at the moment.'
'We should all get together and have dinner with Luna and Neville too.' Ginny said. 'I can judge for myself what he's like. We should do it for your birthday!'
'I don't know Ginny. Like I said were meant to be just having fun.'
'Oh come on Hermione.' Ginny laughed. 'You've just got him invited to your ex-boyfriends brother's wedding! '
'Oh God I did.' Hermione put her head in her hands. 'I didn't know how else to tell you all.'
'Luna probably won't even know what's different.' They both laughed, it was probably true.
Later that night Draco was watching Hermione sleep. She was naked and had the duvet covering her from her lower back down. Her hair fanned out on her pillow. She had flawless skin. He couldn't help but touch it. He ran his fingers down her back and she moaned in her sleep. He smiled to himself. He was rapidly falling for her and it was scaring him. He'd never felt like this before.
He leant down and kissed her shoulder. He followed his fingers down her back with his kisses. Hermione started to stir humming in pleasure.
'You're insatiable.' She whispered.
'Would you like me to stop?' He said against her back.
'Oh no!' She giggled.
He smiled against her back. He stroked her back and moved his hand over her bum and down her legs as far as he could reach. It tickled and Hermione let out a giggle. She rolled over so she was lying on her back. Draco wasted no time he took one of her nipples into his mouth and made her groan. He continued to stoke his hands over her body. Her hands were on him too, stroking and pulling him closer. She could feel him hard against her leg. He moved a hand to between her legs and pushed a finger inside her. She arched into him and groaned in pleasure. He knew she was as ready as he was. He climbed over her spreading her legs and pushed himself into her. She felt so good. He nuzzled and kissed her neck as he moved and got his rhythm. Hermione was running her nails down his back and matching his movement. When she came she dragged her nails down his back which made him hiss, but it felt good and it sent him over and he came calling her name.
He propped himself up on to his elbows, still inside her, stroking her hair. He leaned down and kissed her.
'A girl could get used to being woke up like this.' She smiled at him.
'I'll bare that in mind for future reference.' He laughed, pulling out her and rolled to the side.
She rolled on to her side propping her head up on her hand. 'Can I ask you something?'
'Anything.' He said matching her pose.
'Ginny wants us to have dinner with her, Harry, Luna and Neville for my birthday.' She looked at him biting her lip. 'I know we said we were just having fun, but Ginny won't give up trying. She wants to know if you've really changed.' She was starting to babble, she did that when she was nervous.
He stopped her talking with a kiss. 'Let's do it. Why didn't I know your birthday was coming up? You kept that one quite Granger. Besides you've told people about us now, maybe it's time we change our status from just having fun to something more. '
'Is that what you want?' She asked.
'Yes Hermione. This isn't just fun for me anymore.' He said stroking her face and bringing her in closer to kiss her. 'It's more than fun. I'd love to be your boyfriend.' He said with a smirk that sent her into a fit of giggles.
