CH. 22

Plans & Meetings



Hermione awoke the next morning before the sun rose. She was in bed, snuggled warmly in Draco’s embrace. His soft breathing sending soothing comfort through her; he had stayed with her, even after telling him all the horrid things that had happened, she had half expected him to leave her. Looking at the peaceful expression on his face made her heart soar. She loved him more than anything and hoped he would never leave her.



Running her fingers through his soft hair she felt her arousal awaken within her. Her hand softly caressed his shoulders, those shoulders that drove her mad with desire, down his arm, under the covers, she felt his naked skin beneath her fingertips, her eyes closing as she let out a soft hiss of need. Pushing the covers slowly down she pouted momentarily as she noted his silk boxers. ‘well, those will definitely have to go’ she though as she eased her body down the bed.



Placing soft kisses on each muscle of his tight abs she ever so gently pushed his shorts down over his hip. Her eyebrows furrowing in frustration as she realized she needed him on his back to completely remove them. Pushing gently on his hip he slowly rolled onto his back, a loud snore ringing throughout the room. Stifling her laughter she pulled his shorts down the rest of the way, revealing her most treasured prize, awaiting her at full attention.



Licking her lips hungrily her fingers grazed over the taught skin. Well, even if he wasn’t awake yet, someone else was. Leaning forward she nuzzled her nose in the soft white curls surrounding his shaft. Her fingers were softly stroking his sac, her tongue sliding from his base all the way to the tip. Taking him in her mouth she curled her tongue around his smooth head.



His hips slowly began a rhythmic pumping. Glancing up she noted he was still sleeping, but the peaceful expression had changed to one of complete pleasure. Taking him deeper into her mouth, gently squeezing his sac as she pulled back with a strong suction as she neared the tip before swallowing him again. Up, down she lovingly ran her tongue all over him. She could feel his sac tightening under her fingers, he was getting close. Gripping his base firmly she stroked him as she sucked his tip, suddenly their was a moan just as she felt a strong grip on the back of her head.



“Don’t stop, love” she heard a strained whisper. Grazing her teeth beneath his head she pulled twice more before she felt the jerking movement announcing his explosion only a moment before her mouth was completely filled. Swallowing quickly she continued to swathe his still hard member, cleaning him at the same time coating him with her saliva before crawling up his body and lowering herself upon his thick shaft.



“Gods Hermione, if that’s the way you are going to wake me up, I’ll never get out of bed” he gripped her hips tightly as he thrust into her warm, wet passage.



She circled her hips, grinding into his pelvic bone as her nails scraped lightly down his chest, catching his nipples. Already aroused from sucking him to completion she was so close all she had to do was tighten her walls and she fell over the edge, screaming out “Gods, Draco, fuck me!”



Hearing her words and feeling her clamp down on him he swiftly rolled her over on her back and captured her lips, continuing to move his hips with her, wanting nothing more than to make love to her all day long.



She wrapped her arms and legs around the hard body above her, giving into his heated kisses and pulling him closer to her as she met his fervent thrusts, wanting him to stay inside of her to take her over the edge again and again. Finding his pulse point on his neck she ran her tongue along it before biting it softly, growing more excited hearing their bodies slapping against each other, the wetness from their joined fluids driving her insane with want. She could feel his ragged breath on her skin before the warmth of his lips met the juncture between her neck and shoulder sending her over the edge once again taking him with her this time. Their bodies came to a relaxed halt. Draco gently slid off of her, pulling her with him to wrap her up in his strong arms once again before they fell into a deep, content slumber.

Ginny was so upset she didn’t even notice Harry sitting at the table when she stormed through the house. Flinging her cloak on the couch and marching passed the kitchen to their bedroom she was cursing under her breath.



“Gin?” Harry called out.



She stopped dead in her tracks ‘oh shite! Stupid, stupid, stu’ “Harry, I didn’t realize you were home, how did your visit with the mediwitch go?” she plastered a smile on her face as she turned to face her husband.



“Fine, but what’s wrong, you came storming in here like a herd of hippogriffs?”



“Oh, nothing. I was supposed to meet Sarah this morning for coffee and she cancelled yet again” she rolled her eyes for effect.



“Well, that doesn’t seem like something to get so upset over, are you sure there’s nothing else bothering you?” he placed his finger under her chin, lifting her face and bringing her eyes up to meet his, he could always tell when Ginny was lying, she wouldn’t look him in the eye, just like she was doing now.



“Gin, you know you can tell me. What’s going on?” He stepped back placing his arms across his chest as he stared down at her.



“Ginevra Molly Weasley Potter! You are not telling me something, something that is making you quite upset, and if I know you like I certainly do, you are up to something, now spill it!” Harry stood before her with a stern look on his face. He loved his wife with all his being, but knew her well enough to know she could get out of hand at times. Something inside him told him she was up to something and he needed to get to the bottom of it, and quickly.



“Harry, how dare you make assump”



“Don’t even try to talk yourself out of this Ginny. You came in here in a huff, cursing under your breath, throwing your things around and storming into the bedroom, you only do that when something you are working on doesn’t go your way, now, are you going to tell me or do I have to figure this out on my own, and I assure you if I do that and find out, you will not be pleased”



Ginny crossed her arms and stood defiantly in front of her husband, her lips in a tight seam, she was not going to tell Harry just what exactly she was up to, no way!



“I see, fine” Harry dropped his arms and walked away from his wife towards the front hall, grabbing his cloak he turned back around and spoke quietly to her “I am going out, then I am meeting with Hermione for lunch, when I get back we ill discuss this further” he stormed out of the house and Apparated away.



“Oh crikey!” Ginny dropped into the kitchen chair, her head in her hands. If Harry was meeting with Hermione then that means he’ll know about the wedding. Talking a deep breath she went to the bedroom, changed into her healer robes and Apparated to work. At least she could busy herself with sick patients all day rather then worry about the pending discussion with her husband, she would much rather have faced Voldemort again than tell him what she’d been up to.



~*~



Draco and Hermione had laid in bed for several more hours before finally rising for the day. Hermione had just gotten out of the shower when she heard a soft ‘pop’ in the bedroom.



“Master Draco sir, I have a letter for misses Hermione, sir”



“Draco?” Hermione stood in the doorway to the bathroom, only wearing a dark green towel, her curls dripping onto her shoulders. She looked delicious. Shaking his head to clear his mind, he took the parchment from the small elf.



“Thank you Peagreen, if anything else should arrive, please bring it immediately”



“yes sir” and with another small ‘pop’ he was gone.



“Draco” came a firmer request from the beautiful vision I the doorway.



“I didn’t want you missing any messages, so I asked my house elf to forward any mail to us directly”



“Why haven’t you told me you have a house elf?” She stood up straighter, her hands shaking gently at the unexpected news.



“Well, we really haven’t been discussing such issues as of yet, love” he walked slowly towards her, putting on his bright smile for her. “Also, I know how you feel about house-elves and their function within the wizarding world. I had hoped to broach the subject in a different manner, but since it is out, I shall tell you anything you want to know.” He stopped in front of her, reaching out he gently lifted her hand, rubbing his thumb across the back of it softly.



Swallowing and blinking, Hermione searched her brain for words.



“Uh, well, tell me about him” she was too shocked for anything else at this point.



Pulling her with him towards the bed he sat her down, kneeling before her he placed his hands upon her knees and began speaking.



“Well, his name is Peagreen and he’s taken care of me since I was born, that is his job. Purebloods don’t have time to raise their own children so it has been deemed that when a child is born, an elf is assigned to them. I’ve never treated him poorly, in fact, you could say he was my first friend. Not that my parents would accept that of course.” Shaking his head at the mere thought of Lucius catching them playing throughout the manor in his childhood years before school.



“Where does he stay if he hasn’t been here?” She tried her best to remain calm.



“Actually, he has been staying here. But, unless I need him, he stays in his room or goes about his own”



“He has a room?” she was completely and utterly shocked to find out that this little elf had it’s own room.



“Well of course, I certainly don’t expect him to live in a cupboard like some kind of animal.” He smiled at her, knowing this would please her immensely.



“Anyway, here, this is for you.” He gave her the rolled parchment and stood, walking into the bathroom to give her some privacy.



Hermione unrolled the parchment, reading Harry’s messy scrawl.





Dearest Hermione,



I have come back early from training camp and would like to meet up with you for lunch. It has been far too long since we have seen each other and I’ve missed my best friend.



Please say you’ll come.



Love,



Harry



Hermione’s face lit up with a bright smile, then quickly faded as she looked up at the bathroom, Draco was standing there watching her.



“So, I saw the smile, good news I take it?” He walked towards her once more, this time she could smell the sweet scent of his cologne and the faint hint of toothpaste.



“Actually yes,” she stood to meet him half way, bringing her arms up to his shoulders she quickly kissed him and made her way towards the closet.



“Harry is back from training early and wants to meet for lunch. This is perfect, I can talk to him about. . .us.” The last word came out a bit strained.



She felt his breath on the back of her neck, his soft words against her ear.



“Hermione, are you and Harry still close?”



“Of course, why would you. . .Oh, you don’t think, we ?” She spun around to see his grinning face.



“I only meant,” he paused to look into her eyes. ‘That, if you two were still close, then it should work out just fine, have faith in your friend, he may just surprise you” He quickly kissed the tip of her nose, grabbed her firm backside giving it a quick squeeze and slap and turned to leave the room saying “I’ll see you when you get back love”



~*~



Harry was furious. Too many times had Ginny gone off half berked with some crazy plan, only to have him dealing with the after lash of it all and he did not want to go through it again. He promised himself he would get to the bottom of whatever she was up to before it got out of hand, but for now, he had to get to the restaurant to meet Hermione. She had responded and suggested a nice small place for them to meet for lunch.



It had been too long since they had seen each other. He really did want to stay in better touch, but with Quidditch and being married, it wasn’t always easy. He had withdrawn from her after Ron’s death, effectively losing any contact with her when she left for her parents house for the first year. They had met up on the first anniversary of the end of the war and both had cried on each other’s shoulders for what seemed like days. After Harry & Ginny had gotten married, and Hermione had been working at the Ministry, their visits had been few and far between. They of course would go to the Burrow to celebrate birthdays and such, but the closeness they were used to had almost disappeared with Ron’s death. He wanted his best friend back and he was determined that today would be the first day of their revived friendship.



“Harry!” Hermione ran up to him, filling his open arms in front of the restaurant. He had been lost in his thoughts and hadn’t even realized he was already there.



“Hermione, don’t you look. . .happy?” He grinned at her glowing face. He hadn’t seen her this happy since school.



“Well, yes, I am thank you very much” she grinned at him, looping her arm in his as they walked into the restaurant.



~*~



The next half hour was spent catching up on work, friends and such, finally, the time had come for the most important discussion, Hermione was nervous as a muggleborn being sorted into Slytherin, she laughed as she realized, that’s pretty much what was happening.



“Harry, there is something I want to tell you. I want you to hear me out and I need you to not interrupt me until I’m done, can you do that for me?” Hermione was wringing her hands beneath the table once again, her fingers were going to fall off at this rate.



“I’ve met someone, well, no that’s not right, I’m involved with someone. Actually, I’m engaged to be married”



“That’s wonderful Hermione, who’s the lucky fella?” Harry beamed at his best friend. He truly couldn’t be happier. But couldn’t understand why she was so nervous.



“Well, you know him actually. We all went to school together. He and I have not seen each other for quite a while, and well, we ran into each other while I was on Holiday and well, we’re together now, and quite happy. We didn’t realize we both had feelings for each other before and now that we’re together we really don’t wish to waste anymore time, we want to get married as soon as possible and I would really love it if you would come.”



Taking a deep breath she braced herself and looked Harry square in the eye and spoke clearly.



“I’m marrying Draco Malfoy”
