Disclaimer: I live in Texas, not Scotland, so I am obviously not JK Rowling.

I’m just playing with the wonderful characters that she created. I promise that I will

put them back the way I found them when I’m done!

AN: Here’s the next chappie!! Thanks to all who reviewed. As always, please

R&R. My muse loves the attention. To everyone in the US, Happy Independence Day and

please take a moment to pray for all of our troops which help to ensure that we get to

keep the wonderful rights that we are accustomed to (and pray for a quick return from all

the war zones)!! Happy reading!

Chapter 26. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

The next couple of months raced by for the pair. Hermione kept up her practice of

sleeping with Draco, although, they never did anything more than kiss. After the last

exam had been administered, she let out a sigh of relief. Finally, I can relax,

she thought. Overall, she with what she had seen to that point, her students had

performed well on the exams. The only exceptions being students that she knew were

struggling to begin with. She quickly packed all of the exams into her briefcase and

charmed it locked, so she could grade them over the summer. She made a quick note to

verify with Minerva which students were choosing not to continue on with Advanced

Transfiguration the following year.

After she finished packing up her desk, she walked towards the dungeons, to see how Draco

had faired. She had noticed a faint odour of rotten eggs when she had left her classroom

and the closer that she got to the dungeons, the stronger the smell got. By the time she

had arrived at the classroom, the smell was almost unbearable.

She scrunched up her nose as she looked at Draco, the scowl on his face reminiscent of his

days at Hogwarts. Carefully she inhaled, trying not to overwhelm herself with the smell.

“What happened?”

Draco growled under his breath. “Stupid student messed up his potion in a dramatic

fashion. Luckily, I had put a containment shield around each of the student’s caldrons,

so the mess wasn’t too much, but the smell just won’t go away.”

Hermione thought for a moment, then drew her wand and muttered a spell. Within seconds,

the smell that had permeated the classroom had dissipated.

Draco looked at her in amazement. “How did you do that?”

Hermione just raised an eyebrow. “You try living with the twins; you’ll pick up a lot of

useful spells,” she said dryly.

Draco laughed, feeling the stress of the day melt away. “After what they did at Hogwarts,

I’m not surprised. Give me a moment to gather my things and we can leave to unwind before

supper.”

Hermione nodded and watched him as she gathered his things, her eyes appreciating the

athletic form that he had. Even though he didn’t get outside to exercise much, he was

still as fit as the first time she’d seen him this year. When he finally turned around,

she blushed a bit at being caught blatantly staring at him.

“See something you like?” he asked with the trademark Malfoy smirk.

“Nope, not a thing at all,” she replied cheekily.

Draco just laughed, feeling the stress of the day ease a bit.

After supper, they moved back to Hermione’s quarters so that she could pack.

“So,” Draco began. “Where do you live when you are not at Hogwarts?”

Hermione smiled. “You won’t believe it.”

“Try me.”

“At my parents’ house. They left it to me,” she said softly. “I’ll admit that it was

difficult the first year after the war had ended, but it’s familiar. I just had to have

it connected to the Floo and put some disenchantments on it so that the Muggles won’t see

what really goes on there.”

Draco nodded. “I understand that. Mother and Father left the manor to me, obviously, but

I just can’t live there. I’ve thought about selling it, but a part of me is opposed to

the idea. I mean, it’s been Malfoy hands for hundreds of years.”

“So where do you live?” Hermione asked out of curiosity.

“In the Wizarding section of Chelsea. I have a relatively small house,” he said with a

smile. “I do have house elves, but I let them know that if they are unhappy with their

status there, then they can leave of their free will and I will give them excellent

recommendations for new employment.” Hermione smiled brightly as his words. “But all of

them swore that they wanted to work for me and even though I offered to pay them, they

refused.”

Hermione giggled, remember the days of S.P.E.W. “At least you tried, that’s what counts,”

she said as she waved her wand and packed up all her clothes except what she was wearing

the next day and her night clothes. “Speaking of houses, do you want to see mine? I can

show you the computer and set up the spreadsheet for you.”

Draco nodded, wanting to get to know the woman outside of Hogwarts. “I’d love that. When

would you like me to come by?”

Hermione thought for a moment, knowing that she needed to get the house ready to receive

guests since she didn’t have any house elves. “Um. What about the week before the

wedding? You could arrive on that Monday, the fourteenth and just stay with me until we

get back.”

Draco nodded, feeling a bit concerned for her since the nightmares tended to come out when

she was sleeping alone. “Are you sure? What about the nightmares?”

Hermione bit her lip and exhaled deeply. “I need to do this Draco. I need to prove to

myself that I am really healing; that I can put this behind me.” She looked deep into his

silver eyes. “I want to be whole again.”

Draco smiled softly, loving her courage, before drawing her into his arms. “Then be

courageous, my love. I’m just a Floo away.”

Hermione nodded as she cast the last charm on her luggage. “Thanks. Are you already

packed?”

Draco nodded. “Yes, I finished last night. How about a walk around the lake before we

leave?”

Hermione smiled. “That would be nice.”

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

The following morning, Hermione grabbed her luggage after seeing the students off to the

train. Normally, the teachers would stay for a few days after the end of term, but with

so many people having to get married, the majority were setting off for their homes, to

plan the upcoming summer.

As she was leaving the room, she noticed Neville walking around the corridors nervously.

“Neville? Are you okay?” she asked.

Neville looked up at her and smiled. “I’m fine. I’m just nervous about the wedding. It

is only two weeks away.”

Hermione nodded. “Does Luna have everything planned?”

“Yeah, she does. Although she does keep going on about the black-winged Irish

snorks.”

Hermione giggled. “Maybe that’s just the way she calms her nerves.”

Neville shook his head. “I don’t think so. She told me that she knew that we would get

married from the first time she saw me in second year.”

“That’s always a possibility. Are you happy about it though? I know that none of us had

the chance to choose who we wanted to marry,” she asked him quietly as they walked towards

the front doors.

“I am. I’ve always admired Luna, for the way that she marched to the beat of a different

drummer, but she has proved to me over the last six months that she is so much more than

she pretends to be. She’s let me in and…” Neville trailed off, his love for her showing

in his voice.

“Then I’m happy for you. Does she need any help the weekend before the wedding?”

“Not that I know of, but you might want to send her an owl.”

Hermione nodded as she reached the front doors, to see Draco waiting on her. “I’ll do

that.” She paused for a second and then quickly hugged Neville. “I’ll see you in a

couple of weeks.”

“Thanks, Mia,” he said sincerely as he exchanged a look with Draco.

Together, Hermione and Draco walked outside, so they could Apparate away.

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

When Hermione arrived at her house, she quickly unpacked and made a list of what she

needed to do to get it ready for Draco’s arrival. She quickly tidied it up, which mainly

consisted of getting rid of the dust, then she set up the guest room just in case he

wanted to sleep in there.

After she was done with that, she decided to run her errands. She needed to buy food as

well as start up her mail delivery again. Currently, she had all of her Muggle mail

forwarded to a Wizarding post office, so it could be delivered by owl when she was away at

school.

She smiled as she climbed into her car, feeling closer to her parents for doing things the

Muggle way. At the grocery store, she made her selections carefully, knowing that Draco

would have little knowledge of the preparation of food the Muggle way and wanted to show

him how much variety there could be. Feeling happier than she had before the war, she

hummed under her breath as she made her purchases.

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

Draco, on the other hand, arrived back at his home to nothing to do. The house elves had

kept the house in top condition and if he even tried to cook, he would have a mutiny.

Sighing, he decided to start organizing his thoughts on his students, that way when

Hermione showed him the computer, he could have the information at hand.

He started out with the sixth year students, since they were going to the more advanced

classes, and there weren’t that many of them. As he began to go through his notes and

memories, he lost himself in the time.

A few hours later, he was started out of his concentration by his elf, Mitzy. “Master

Draco, dinner is ready.”

Draco jumped a little when she spoke; he hadn’t seen her walk into the room. “Oh, thank

you Mitzy. Give me a moment to get cleaned up and I’ll be right there.”

He walked through the silent house, feeling more alone than ever since he was used to

sharing dinner with students and professors. Once washed up, he walked into the dinner

room, the emptiness making him feel even more despondent.

Sighing, he thought to himself, this is going to be a long week.

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

By the time the week was over, Hermione was feeling better about herself. She’d only had

a nightmare one night and although it was a terrifying, she knew that she was healing from

the pain. So, on Sunday night, when she received Draco’s owl asking her if she minded him

coming a day early, she responded quickly that she didn’t mind. She had written back a

reply giving him her Floo address and letting him know that she had changed her wards to

allow him access.

She was pacing around the living room, nervous and excited about his arrival, feeling for

the first time like a woman in love. Finally, about thirty minutes later, Draco arrived.

She smiled at him as he dusted off the ash from the Floo.

Draco returned her smile and looked around the small living room. “This is nice,” he

said.

“Thanks. Let me give you the tour.”

Draco nodded as he followed her out of the living room. After she’d had shown him

everything, she looked at him. “Do you want the spare bedroom?” she asked, hoping he’d

say no.

Draco thought about it. “Do you want me in the spare room?”

Hermione looked a little sheepish. “Not really, but it’s up to you.”

Draco smirked as he pulled her into his arms. “I’d love nothing more than to sleep in the

same bed as you, Mia. This has been a really long week.”

Hermione melted into his embrace, loving the way he made her feel wanted. “So, what do

you want to do tonight?” she asked into his chest.

“Just be with you,” he answered honestly.

Hermione blushed. “Have you ever watched a Muggle movie?”

Draco shook his head. “No, but I’ve heard about them.”

Hermione smiled. “Then that’s what we’ll do.”

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

A few hours later, after they had finished the movie Titanic, they decided to go to

bed. Hermione got ready in the bathroom, still shy, whilst Draco got ready in the

bedroom. When she walked out, dressed in a pair of comfortable pyjama bottoms and a

camisole, she found Draco dressed in just a pair of black pyjama bottoms.

Blushing lightly, she crawled underneath the covers and snuggled into the pillows. Draco

soon joined her and pulled her into his arms. “Good night,” she said softly.

Draco returned her words with a soft kiss which soon became heated. Hermione groaned in

pleasure as they explored each other’s mouths and wound her arms around his neck, pulling

him closer.

Her back arched as his hands began to wander all over her body, making her shiver in

anticipation. Unconsciously, she began to rock her hips against his and as his lips

caressed her jaw, he let out a gasp of pleasure.

“Mia,” he moaned. “Merlin, I want you so much.”

Hermione felt a rush of pleasure at his murmured words and made a decision. “Draco? I’m

ready to go further, perhaps not all the way, but I want more,” she pleaded as his hands

caressed her.

Draco stopped, his hands moving to pull her hips towards her, nestling himself in her

head. “Are you sure?” he whispered, not wanting to break the spell.

In answer she pulled his head back to her and kissed him passionately.

Draco returned her kiss with fervour, his body aching for release. He moved one of his

hands from her hips to her breasts, cupping the soft globe lightly. He began to nibble on

her bottom lip as he softly caressed her, bringing her nipple to full hardness. As he

brushed his thumb over the peak, Hermione threw her head back and moaned her pleasure, her

hips rocking against his.

She felt his turgid length and it stunned her to think that she had caused his feeling.

She felt bolts of pleasure rocketing down her body, straight to where heat was pooling in

her core. “Draco,” she moaned on a long sigh of pleasure before opening her eyes and

looking into his silver ones, which were molten in pleasure. “Please…” she begged, not

quite sure what she was begging for.

Draco understood her plea and quickly divested her of her camisole, freeing her breasts to

his appreciative gaze. “You’re so beautiful,” he murmured, nuzzling her neck before

finding the spot behind her ear that always made her gasp.

Hermione closed her eyes as the feelings began to overwhelm her, her nipples tightening

even more in the cool air of the bedroom until they were hard little pebbles. She felt

his lips moving over her collarbone and then to the soft flesh of her chest, where he

continued to suckle her skin. He avoided the nipples consciously, laving attention on all

of her skin until she was panting.

When closed his lips around her right nipple, she let out a soft scream of pleasure. Each

tug of his mouth shot straight to her centre and she rolled onto her back to give him

better access.

Draco responded by settling himself between her thighs, grinding into her slightly to try

to relieve his own tension. He was achingly hard, harder than he’d ever been before, but

he was trying to keep a calm head. He wanted her first experience with a loving partner

to be extraordinary. As it was, he was trying hard to resist from burying himself in her

wet core.

Hermione ran her hands over his back, scratching him lightly as he continued his torture,

switching from one breast to the other as she felt her body racing towards a peak she’d

never known.

Draco felt her rising tension and slipped his hand in between them, stroking her mound

lightly through her pyjama bottoms. He felt the heat and the wetness there and groaned.

“Merlin, you’re so hot and wet.”

Hermione couldn’t respond in words, her body just arched up into his, begging for more.

Draco shifted his body, straddling on of her legs as he slipped a hand underneath her

clothes to find her wet core.

He ground against her as he slipped a finger inside her waiting passage, feeling the

muscles clench around him. He continued to suckle her breast as he moved his thumb over

her nub of pleasure, causing waves of pleasure overtake her, building towards a dramatic

climax.

“Oh, God! Draco!” she cried out in pleasure as her body moved closer to the peak with the

movements of his hand. She buried her hands in his hair, holding him to her and her head

flailed from side to side in pleasure. Her skin was flushed, sweat gleamed on it.

Draco groaned as she arched into him and began to move his hips up and down her thigh,

trying to reach his own release. He arched his finger inside of her, feeling for the

fleshy front wall and when he found it, she fell apart in his arms, crying out her

pleasure.

He continued to stroke her, to bring her softly down from her peak as he still reached for

his own. She seemed to sense his distress and wrapped her leg around him, increasing the

friction between him until with a guttural cry, his release came. His hips jerked into

hers a couple more times before the lay spent beside her.

“Wow,” Hermione murmured drowsily.

Draco nodded his agreement, too spent to do more than drift off to sleep contented.

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

AN: Okay. So I’m working on 27 now and I think this may wind up to be either 29

or 30 chapters, so it’s almost done!

Alle – Thank you! I work really hard on keeping everything decent because Lord knows that

I’ve tried to read some stories before that I just get through the first paragraph and

decide I can’t stand it! I’m glad you found the story!!

bLondpierogi – Thanks! Here you go!

InBedWithSoviets – Where are you from initially? Thanks! I’ll always be writing, maybe

not Harry Potter (my first love to write is CSI: NY and I have 15 stories for that

particular fandom), although if my muse gets a bee in her bonnet again, I may have to

write more! (Although I do have another smut story that I’ve posted a couple of chapters

here (called Beauty) but my smut muse has been absent for quite a while).

Hellojenny – First off, I’m so sorry that it deleted your review! I didn’t get it twice,

so I guess it’s lost somewhere in cyberspace. I am so glad that you love the story and I

can keep you interested! And I’ll never think someone is picking on me when they pick up

on obvious plot screw ups! (I’ve gone back and corrected the Percy thing and I think I

corrected the timeline thing. I changed it in 25 that she’s been teaching the 7th years

since they were 3rd years, but if you saw anything before that, please let me know and

I’ll correct it!!). I agree it happens and especially since I’ve been writing this for a

year and a half! Thank you so much for catching things that me and my 3 beta’s didn’t!!!

Hope you enjoy this chapter!
