Harry and Hermione were sat on the couch in their lounge watching a muggle movie. It was the first chance they had got to spend some time together in a while. Hermione was sipping a glass of wine and Harry a bottle of beer.

'Don't tell Ginny I'm having a beer. She'll kill me.' He laughed. 'She doesn't think it's fair. So the things she can't do I'm not allowed to do apparently.'

'I totally agree.' Hermione said with a grin. 'Has her morning sickness got any better?'

'No.' Harry sighed. 'She almost went to St. Mungo's this morning. But she knows there's not much they can do. Her healing training tells her that.'

'Nothing at all?' Hermione asked.

'All they can do is give her a rehydration potion, and that's only when she can't even keep water down.' Harry said.

'Poor Ginny.' Hermione took a sip of wine.

'Hermione there is actually something I wanted to talk to you about.'

'Ok. That sentence hasn't worked out for me much recently.' Hermione took a big gulp of wine.

'It's not bad.' Harry laughed. 'Well I don't think it is. I want to ask Ginny to move in here. After all she is having my baby.'

'Do you want me to move out?' Hermione asked worried.

'Oh no!' He laughed 'We'll need help from the baby's God mother as much as possible I think.'

'God mother?' Hermione asked.

'Yes. Of course who else would we pick?' He laughed as she launched herself at him giving him a hug.

'And you don't want to me to move out?' She asked again.

'No Hermione.' He said untangling himself. 'Although you probably wouldn't be stuck for a place to go.' Harry smiled at her.

'You mean The Burrow?' Hermione asked reaching for her wine again. 'I couldn't stay there.'

'How can you be so smart and so dense at the same time?' He laughed at the look of shock on her face. 'I'm sure Malfoy would take you in.'

'I couldn't have asked him yet.' She laughed.

'He told you he loved you Hermione. I'm pretty sure he'd do pretty much anything for you.' He said. 'How are things with you two?'

'Their great Harry.' She beamed. 'It's different from the way things were with Ron.'

'I'm glad things are working out.' He said. 'It's really freaky his friendship with Ginny though.'

'Well I'm happy about that. I hope you and Draco become friends too.' She looked at him over the top of her glass.

'He's won over Ginny. It won't be long before I follow suit. She'll make sure of that.' He laughed.

Hermione laughed with him but it was important to her they get along. Her best friend and her boyfriend. She knew he had convinced most of her friends that he was different from their school days. It was Harry that mattered most though and he seemed to be being stubborn. She wouldn't push him, she was sure he would come around.

'Actually I have something to ask you too.' She refilled her glass of wine. 'I wanted to ask if you'd heard from Ron.'

'Only Molly.' He sighed. 'And she's only had like two letters. The last one said he was waiting for some good news. He never said what it was though.'

Hermione sat swirling her wine round her glass looking at it. 'I'm glad he went in a way.' She said looking up at Harry. 'I don't think things would have gone very far with us looking back.'

'I know he loved you.' Harry said.

'Yeah and I did him.' Hermione thought for a second on how to put it. 'But I don't think we had a very long shelf life.' She laughed. 'Not like you and Ginny.'

'Maybe.' Harry looked at her for a moment. 'He was a fool really. He'll never find anyone quite like you Hermione.' He smiled at her.

'Thank you Harry.' She blushed and smiled back.

'I know it means a lot to you that me and Malf.. Draco get along.' He said. 'And I can see he cares about you. It's just hard for me to forget what happened before, but I'll try for you.'

'I understand Harry.' She said. 'Draco and I have talked about some of the things that happened. He's hurting too.'

They took each other into a hug. It was good to talk to Harry. She couldn't talk to anyone else the way she could to him. Just then the door flew open and Ginny came flying in and threw herself in Harry's arms.

'What's the matter Ginny?' He said stroking her hair.

'I'm getting more and more grateful for this baby Harry.' She said into his chest. 'Even if he is making me sick.'

'Why? What's happened?' Hermione looked at Harry with a worried expression.

'They are drafting people from St. Mungo's to go help the injured.' Harry's eyes went wide. 'I'm not in it because of the baby.'

'Oh Thank Merlin.' Harry said hugging her tightly.

'All my friends Harry!' She still had her face against his chest. 'Susan, Cho, Padma! They are all in the draw!'

'Shhhh!' Harry said into her hair. 'You never know Ginny, they might not get picked.'

Harry held her till she calmed down. Hermione sat and watched them she didn't know what to say or do. She motioned to Harry that she was going to leave him to it and he nodded. She went to the kitchen and made a hot chocolate and went to the garden. It had took some time to get the garden into shape magical weeds had taken over. It had even taken Neville a while to figure out how to get rid of them. She found a blanket and snuggled into one of the lawn chairs with her hot chocolate. It was a cold but clear night. She liked to sit out here sometimes to think.

She'd been sat out there for a while when she heard the door go, she turned and saw Draco coming out. Harry must have got in touch with him.

'Hey.' He said walking over to her. He pulled her up so he could sit down then pulled her into his lap.

'Hey.' She said snuggling into his chest.

'Harry told me what happened.' He kissed the top of her head. 'You ok?'

'Yeah, I'll be fine.' She said. 'It just brings up unwanted memories.'

'You want to talk about it?' He asked hugging her closer.

'No I'm fine here, with you.' She looked up at him and kissed up with a smile.

'Ok, but whenever you want to talk I'm here.'

'I know. Thank you Draco.'

They found out a few days later that Padma and Susan had been drafted.
