Together

Hope you enjoy this...the nice sweet final chapter...

Hermione was going to need a minute.

No she was going to need an hour.

Possibly days.

What the hell was that?

She kept her eyes closed trying to regain some semblance on control over her breathing.

It was wonderful, that's what it was.

Hermione smiled and closed her eyes.

Draco lay on top of her, half of his weight still on her while the other half was being somewhat supported by one arm. She kind of liked the weight of him above her. It was a little uncomfortable while being entirely comforting.

"That was incredible," she heard him muffle into the pillow next to her head.

"That's my line," said Hermione. "I didn't do much."

"You did more than enough," said Draco and he lifted himself up. She felt his limbs tremble with the motion as he looked down at her. "You are the most incredible woman I have ever met and will ever know."

"Draco..." she said his name blushing.

Draco gave a half-smile and kissed her, then he gently withdrew from her body.

Hermione winced.

"You okay?" he asked immediately concerned.

"I'm fine," she answered. "A little sore, but I'm good Draco." And then because she felt like he needed to hear it she added. "You did a good job...making sure I was..." she fumbled searching for words. "Ready for you."

"I tried."

"I know," she kissed him.

Draco reached for his wand and cleaned them both up with a quick spell, then he shifted up on the bed.

Hermione came over and curled into his side letting her head rest against his chest.

"So what now?" she asked.

"I'm thinking a few hours of sleep and recovery for you before we try that again."

Hermione slapped his shoulder gently.

"I meant for life, not in bed," she said shaking her head and shifting to look at him, though she was already thinking about doing...well everything again with Draco.

"I'd happily spend my life in bed with you," said Draco kissing her and pinning her hand gently on the mattress before she could smack him again. His face and tone grew serious. "Now we go and try and save the world, and those friends of yours, so I can earn the chance of a happily ever after."

"A happily ever after?" she asked, his words making her feel both hot and cold at the same time.

"I'm going to love you forever Hermione," said Draco. "It's up to you what you want to do with your life." He shifted getting more comfortable. She could tell he was getting times and yet as he pulled her against his naked body, Hermione felt her skin flush.

"You promise?" she asked a moment later from her place tucked beneath his chin.

"Hmmm?" he asked looking down clearly not getting her question.

"Do you promise to love me forever?" she asked making her question clear. She had promised herself no more miscommunications between them and she wasn't about to let one happen now, in bed after something as perfect and incredible as what they had just shared.

"And ever," he answered shifting back a little so that he could kiss her properly. "I'll give you anything and everything I can Hermione. Whatever the life you want I'll support and stand by you. All I ask is that you let me love you."

"And love you back?" she said clarifying.

"That would be my preference," he answered kissing the top of her head and settling back down.

"Draco?"

"Yes?" he answered yawning.

"Be my forever," she said seriously. "Promise me that no matter what you'll be mine."

There was a pause and Draco pulled back from her again this time so that he could look her in the eye.

"I promise," he said looking at her seriously. "Whatever comes."

"No matter what they say? no matter what we have to go up against?" she asked needing to hear him say it.

"No matter what" said Draco. "We'll face it together."

"Together," agreed Hermione.

Draco smiled and closed his eyes knowing in his heart that everything would be okay, so long as they were together.

Thank you all so much for reading, I really appreciate all the love support and comments. I will likely do a short epilogue-if I do it will be released on my Patreon first. I am also posting some extra/alternative scenes for this fanfiction there as well if you loved the story.

If you enjoy my writing, I have some original work here on Wattpad including my first finished novel "Across the midnight sea" which is posted here and now officially COMPLETE (I will link in comments)

I also have a smutty little short 8 chapter short story of a female vampire if you're looking for something steamy finished and called "The Queen of Shadows"

And if you really liked this plot stay tuned because I am using a good chunk of it for the story "The cursed Dragon" also here on wattpad (just a few chapters so far but much more to come.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN SO MUCH.

Much love to each and every one of you. Take care of yourselves and all the best.
