Chapter 19



Hermione awoke the next morning to find Draco watching her, lying on his side, his head resting on his hand. He looked delicious, with his bare chest and the one sheet hanging off his waist. She rolled over to face him, mocking his position. They smiled at each other.


“What do you want for Christmas?” She said randomly.


He stopped, surprised at her randomness. Smiling down at her.


“Christmas?”


“Well it is in a week or two, it kinda snuck up on me.”


“Wow, ya it really did. What would you like?”


“I asked you first.”


Draco paused and thought for a second. He then smiled at her.


“Something muggle you can’t live without.”


She laughed at him.


“What a weird thing to ask for”


“Well it’s what I want so ha! What do you want?”


“Surprise me.”


“That’s the most unhelpful thing you could have said.” He frowned at her.


She grinned at him, “You know me, so you can think of something I’m sure.”


He growled at her and went to lean in to kiss that smile off her face; he was an inch away, savouring the moment before they were both about to get lost in passion when there was a pounding at the door of their quarters. They both groaned. Draco reluctantly got out of the bed and put some pyjama pants on and threw his pyjama shirt at her to put on. Draco ran his hands through his hair as he went to answer the door grumbling the entire way there. Hermione smiled softly at him. He managed to still surprise her; she began to brainstorm on what to get him.


Draco padded to the door, grumpy that someone interrupted him from what would be a fabulous way to wake up. He opened the door to see Severus standing there stiffly. Draco saw the look in his eyes and was suddenly concerned.


“I’m sorry; I tried to keep them away as long as I could…” Snape was so rigid, as he awkwardly gave his apology.


“Wha…”


Draco didn’t even get through the question when suddenly Harry, Ginny and Molly rushed in as Hermione walked through the door from their room to see their place filling up with people. She was suddenly pulled into giant embraces. She could hear Molly sobbing while Harry and Ginny both hugged her tighter.


“Harry! Ginny! Molly! It’s ok! What’s going on?!”


Molly pulled back, tears streaming down her face; she held Hermione’s arms as she looked Hermione up and down. Harry and Ginny took as step back as Molly went on an emotional tirade.


“We were so worried!” She cried, “No matter what we said Severus would not let us come see you, you left, and, and Harry, Arthur and Severus were so cold and angry. They brought Ron downstairs and he was beaten to a pulp. They told me what they thought happened. And then he was arrested. And we weren’t allowed to see you! I was so worried!”


Molly pulled her in again for a tight hug as she started sobbing again, mumbling again and again how sorry she was. Harry and Ginny could see Hermione was overwhelmed. Ginny was just as concerned as her mother, but Severus had reassured her she was over the worst of it and that Draco was being just as overprotective as any of them would have been so she just wanted to see for herself.


Seeing her now she believed him. She looked from Draco to Hermione and relaxed; Draco was watching her like a hawk, ready and waiting. She smiled to herself, the man was head over heels, and she wondered if he’d told her yet.


Draco walked over and put his hand on Molly’s shoulder, giving it a light squeeze. Molly’s entire body stiffened, she had such mixed feelings. On the one hand this was the man who saved someone who was practically her daughter from rape and beat the man to a pulp. On the other hand this was the man who had been horrid and cruel as a child and beat her son to unconsciousness. What he said next surprised her.


“Mrs. Weasley, why don’t you sit down? Can I make you a cup of tea to calm you down?”


He handed her a handkerchief and led her to one of the couches around the fire where Severus was already sitting, calm and almost looking bored. Truthfully he just wanted Mrs. Weasley to get off Hermione, she was the victim, she didn’t need to be consoling and comforting other people.


He walked over to Hermione and led her into the kitchen while Harry and Ginny sat down beside Molly. She was about to object as she saw them walking into the kitchen but she stopped herself. Actually a glare and awkward cough from Harry silenced her.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


In the kitchen

“Are you ok?” Draco enveloped her in a hug.


Hermione sighed and leaned her head into his chest, comforted by his arms and smell. They both relaxed at the contact.


“Yes, I guess we should have expected this. I honestly forgot about them, I forgot they were there too and had
to deal with it too.”


Draco began to set up tea, gathering up cups and putting them on the tray.


“I could kiss Severus for keeping them away so long. We kind of needed some time to recuperate.” Draco said thoughtfully.


Hermione nodded, “Merlin can you imagine if Molly made an entrance like that while I was still, still…”


“In denial?” Draco finished for her.


“Yeah,” Hermione whispered, and then became very quiet. Draco stopped and looked at her, concern etched his features. Hermione put her hands softly on his cheeks, pulled him down for a soft kiss.


“I’m ok, really. I fought that demon, you were there. I can talk about it now, as long as you’re here to hold my hand. I was just thinking of what I really need to tell Molly. No one wants to hear the details of their son attempting to rape someone.”


His eyes softened and he nodded. The tea was almost ready.


“I guess I’ll just always be a little overprotective from now on. The idea of losing you really messed with me.”


Hermione kissed him softly again, “I’m not going anywhere hun, and you’ve been amazing. I don’t know how I can make it up to you.”


“You could go grab me a shirt? And maybe get yourself some pants? As much as I love what you’re wearing, I think it might make everyone else uncomfortable.”


Hermione had completely forgotten she was just wearing one of his shirts. She giggled and with a soft pop, apparated to their room, grabbed herself some pants and a shirt, with a quick pop she was back, handing him a shirt. They smiled softly as they got dressed.


“Ready?” Draco looked down at her again.


“Ready.”


She took his hand as he held the tray with the other. They walked out to confront the family in their living room.



-------------------------------------------------------------


In the living room------


“Why did he need to take Hermione with him?” Molly asked, rather loudly.


“Probably to see if she’s ok after having to comfort you when she’s the victim.” Snape said sharply.


“What are you talking about?” Molly gasped and glared at Severus.


“Mom, did you even ask if she was ok? You just started crying on her. She was the one comforting you! She didn’t even seem upset until you started crying.”


Molly suddenly realized what she did and her face went bright red in embarrassment and shame.


“I’m sorry, I just. It all came flooding back and it was such a relief to see her alright. Mind you that would have been all over with days ago if someone had let up contact her!” She glared at Snape again.


Snape snorted and turned to her again, “They needed time Molly. Time to recover, time to themselves to process what happened. They did not need to be surrounded by the memories again and have to relive them when they hadn’t dealt with them yet. How do you honestly think that would have gone? She was a wreck. She needed time to deal with that.”


Molly huffed. “Thank you Severus, again, for looking after her while we couldn’t.” Harry said quietly.


Snape raised an eyebrow. “Honestly it wasn’t really me. Draco did it all, she went through it all at once apparently, it was very hard on both of them.”


All three of them raised their eyebrows at Snape’s comment.


“He must really love her then.” Ginny said quietly.


“He does, I’m certain he’s already told her.”


“How do you know?” Harry asked as he leaned forward.


“I hear them talking when they do experiments in my lab. They’re very affectionate no matter what they’re doing.
I thought I heard him tell her once or twice how he feels.”


Ginny beamed, Harry smiled and Molly shifted uncomfortably. Lucius Malfoy’s son, affectionate? Snape shifted impatiently, wanting to get back to his study.


“The kids miss you Severus, they want to see their Grandpa Sev.”


Severus’s face flushed a little in embarrassment and he was about to reply when the door to the kitchen opened and Draco and Hermione walked out. It escaped no one’s notice that Draco was holding her hand and standing partially in front of her protectively. Hermione smiled up at him. Snape coughed again and they looked over at the group waiting for them.


Hermione and Draco slowly walked over and sat down beside each other in one of the smaller sofas. Draco served everyone their tea and then sat back, putting his arm around Hermione. An awkward silence ensued. Severus coughed. Draco grinned.


“Severus you really should get that cough checked out. It sounds terrible.”


Snape glared at Draco.


“So, um… What can we do for you all?” Hermione asked as she looked around the room.


Molly desperately wanted to ask what had really happened but she didn’t know if she wanted to really hear what her son did to such a kind woman. She felt a little silly honestly; she dragged Harry and Ginny to Hogwarts and just charged in, emotions taking charge. She forgot she wanted to be the support for Hermione, but she had already shattered that possibility. So she tried to say what she wanted to get across. Harry did it for her.


“Well we wanted to see that you’re ok, and that you’re healthy again. I guess we kinda wanted to discuss what happened but I don’t think any of us really want to talk about it. I guess we just wanted to tell you we’re with you on this, till the end.” Harry stated.


“You’re with me on this?”


“We’re on your side dear. Ron is going to be charged soon.” Molly reached over and took Hermione’s hand. She let out a soft ‘oh’.


“I don’t think we really need to talk about this now. Why don’t we change the subject? We never got to hear how you two were. What’s going on with you two?” Ginny looked over at the awkward couple.


“Mom was a little surprised to see Draco at our house”


“Yes, I was, how did this happen Hermione? I was under the impression you hated each other?”


Draco chuckled and Hermione blushed, it took all of Draco’s will power not to say ‘Well I’ve fancied her for a while, and after weeks of sexual tension I slammed her against a bookshelf and snogged her stupid.’


“It just sorta… happened..” Hermione blushed again, Ginny grinned wickedly, and Hermione had some stories to tell. She missed girl time with Hermione, yes she knew Draco and her were together but she wanted hilarious details. She reminded herself to invite Hermione out soon.


“Do you love her?” Molly looked at Draco, everyone’s jaw dropped at the bluntness of the question. Harry, Ginny
and Snape gaped at Molly, then proceeded to gape at Draco.


“Yes, I do. Very much.” Draco said proudly. Hermione smiled up at him, he turned and smiled as he kissed her.
Snape coughed again, Draco laughed.


------------------------------------------------------------




Draco closed the door and smiled, that was the most awkward tea he’d ever had. He turned around to see Hermione pulling out boxes; he looked at her in confusion. She smiled.


“I figured I’d do a little Christmas decorating and then go shopping this afternoon before tomorrow.”


He watched as she charmed things to float all over their place, within half an hour their quarters were surprisingly festive. Hermione grinned, Draco found himself strangely uncomfortable. Hermione noticed the way he tensed up. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.


“I’m sorry I didn’t ask but are you ok with me decorating? I kind of love Christmas.”


“Christmas’ were always a little tense and weird for me.”


“Why?”


“My family wasn’t exactly warm Hermione.”


She smiled up at him, “We can change that. This year will be different. Now I’m going to get cleaned up and head out to go buy you presents. You gonna be ok?”


“Yeah” he smiled down at her, “Now go buy me stuff.”


She laughed and went to get changed. Draco spent the afternoon thinking about how different holidays would be with her and how they would be in the future.

That night they crawled into bed both nervous and excited about the next day. Meeting Hermione’s parents was a huge step forward in Draco’s mind. He was thrilled and terrified at the same time. Hermione felt the same, but neither was willing to bring it up. They were too busy trying to encourage the other that everything would be fine.


“Ginny owled me while I was shopping.” Hermione whispered in the dark.


“Oh did she now. And what did she want?”


“Details.”


“Details?”


“On you and me, and knowing her, it’s details of a sexual nature.”


“You talk about that with her!?”


She giggled as he shifted closer to her his eyes bright, playful and eager.


“Its girl talk, we... umm... compare notes.”


“Excuse me?!”


“You know! First time together, craziest thing. Things we love. How cute your butt is.”


Draco’s eyes twinkled playfully.


“Well I think I can give you a few more things to tell her by tomorrow.”


He pulled her over to him and proceeded to pleasure her the rest of the night.
