When Hermione woke up she found herself enveloped in a pair of strong arms. She looked up into the face of her bedmate and biting her lip she smiled. Draco looked so peaceful when he slept; he was completely and totally relaxed. It was as if there was nothing going on in the outside world, it was just the two of them

"Do you often stare at people while they sleep Granger?" Draco asked, slowly opening his eyes

"Not often, but it's just so damn hard not to look at you." She teased, sitting up. Draco followed her lead

"I mean I know I'm gorgeous, you don't have to hide behind that sarcasm" he joked

"Oh goodness, could your ego get any bigger?"

"Not if you're around to keep me humble" he wiggled his eyebrows

"Oh, so you want me around huh?" Hermione inquired with a smile

"Always" he whispered pulling Hermione's face close to his own, however before Draco had the chance to seal his statement with a kiss, there was a knock on the door. "Bloody Hell, of course that happens!" Draco exclaimed in an exasperated tone. Hermione just chuckled and made her way towards the door. She cracked it open a little to see who it was, and a familiar red- head pushed her way through the door.

"'Mione! I am so sorry Ron came here to bother you last night! I am so angry with him! Why can't he just leave you alone? Why does he have to-" Ginny stopped mid-rant when she noticed the pyjama clad blond sitting on the bed. She smiled knowingly, "well, well, well, what's going on here?"

"Hello, Weaslette" Draco said with a grin

"Please tell me you guys are together. If you aren't I will be very upset..." she paused  "and have to give Harry five galleons" Ginny said ruefully

"You guys bet on us?" Hermione asked

"Well kind of"

"What was the bet?" Draco asked curiously

"Well, when we found out Hermione's reunion was here, I kind of made a bet that if you saw each other again it would resurface old feelings and you would finally be together. Harry said that you wouldn't get together until after the reunion because when you saw each other again there was quote, un-quote "no way in hell" you would let each other walk away again." Ginny replied triumphantly

"Okay..." Draco nodded slowly,

"Ginny when did the two of you get back?" Hermione asked trying to change the subject

"Oh a few minutes ago, Harry was just checking us in and I came to find you" she smiled

"You guys are staying here?" Draco inquired a little perplexed

"Well yeah, we didn't really want to go home quite yet and we thought Hermione needed all the support she could get this weekend, what with those awful cousins of hers" Ginny paused "my bat bogey hex is a little rusty maybe I could-"

"No Ginny, you can't use magic around my family"

"Damn," Ginny breathed rather frustrated

"When is your reunion actually taking place?" Draco asked Hermione curiously

"Tomorrow afternoon, for dinner. It will be here in the ballroom I think," she answered, Draco nodded "Do you want to come with me?" Hermione glanced down at the floor

"If you want me to," he responded, getting up from the bed and standing in front of her. He placed his hands on her shoulders, Hermione looked into his eyes

"I do," she smiled "but be warned, you will be bombarded with questions, and more than likely they will make up things that aren't true." Her expression soured

"I think I can handle it" he said truthfully and bent down to place a kiss on her forehead. The couple had completely forgotten about the third presence in the room, who unceremoniously squealed and the new presence that had entered while they were in the midst of their discussion. Draco looked up into the startling green eyes of his once nemesis and smirked as he watched him pull a small pouch from his pocket and hand it over to his wife.

"You were right Gin, as always" Harry said rolling his eyes

"Of course I'm right! I'm not thick!" Ginny shouted, taking his pouch and putting it in her jacket pocket

"As fun as this little reunion is, I'm hungry and want breakfast. Do you want to wait while Draco and I get dressed? We can walk down together"

"Sounds good," Harry said "we'll go drop our bags, room 36"

"Okay, we'll stop by to get you" Harry nodded and he and Ginny left the room

"You know, those two have grown on me," Draco stated, pulling Hermione close to him

"I think you've grown on them too to be completely honest" she replied chuckling "not that Harry would ever admit it"

"It's probably for the best, the world would be off balance if Potter and I actually liked each other"

"Agreed" the pair quickly changed their clothes, Hermione in light blue skinny jeans and a burgundy tunic top that reached to just above her knees in the front and just below them in the back, on her feet she wore a pair of brown booties and she put on her favourite white beanie. Draco on the other hand had transfigured his sleep clothes into a black t-shirt and a pair of black jeans.

"Still rockin' the black I see" Hermione smirked

"You know I look sexy, just admit it!" Draco said with a wink, starting to walk out the door

"Never" she replied walking down the hall to room 36.

"Admit it"

"No" she repeated knocking on the white door that blocked Harry and Ginny from their view

"Come on!"

"No!" the door swung open to reveal the newly weds

"No what?" Harry asked

"She won't admit I look sexy in black." Draco pouted,

"Well he does..." Ginny trailed off, seeing the pointed looks she got from her husband and best friend "What?" they just shook their heads

"This is why you're my favourite" Draco said throwing an arm around her shoulder

"Yeah, yeah just be glad I haven't hexed you yet" and with that Ginny wriggled out of his grip and skipped to the lifts.
