Draco's view 

Now that we have gotten talking with Hermione's friends over with about our relationship, now I have to face my friends. I'm not sure what Theo and Blaise will say but I'm sure as hell Pansy is going to have the biggest tantrum of her life. But it's better to get it over and done with now than if she comes for Hermione without me having a talk with them. I get out of bed not in the greatest mood since this is going to be a nightmare. Hermione is still in my bed, which is now our bed since she sleeps in here every night. She has moved her dresser in here next to mine, so she doesn't have to use her room. I changed the colour since it didn't match the rest of the room. 

Hermione stirs on the bed, rolling over to face me as I rummage through my dresser to find a nice shirt that has been washed. I continue to rummage further through my draw when a pair of hands snake around from behind me, running up and down my chest. Hermione then begins leaving small soft kisses on back. I try to ignore her as I want to get this meeting with my friends over with. "Hermione, we can do that later, I need to find a shirt, did you steal them?" I ask still searching in my dresser. "Maybe, why don't you turn around?" Hermione says seductively. I turn in her arms and find she is wearing one of my silk emerald button up shirts. I smirk as she looked good in it, I then move my hands to the bottom of the shirt pulling it up over her head and find she is wearing nothing. She smirks up at me, the way I do to her, with a look of passion in her eyes. I smirk at her and shake my head. "Hermione please we need to get a move on, the quicker we get this meeting with Blaise, Theo and for merlin sakes Pansy over with then we can come back here and have all the fun you want to," I say smiling at her. She huffs at me then searches through her dresser to find something appropriate to put on. She ends up finding a pair of jeans, with a knitted jumper that I'm sure Mrs Weasley made for her, and a pair of sneakers. I put the shirt on that Hermione was wearing just before, plus a pair of black dress pants and some dress shoes. I grab a coat as it is starting to get cold. Hermione grabs our wands, before grabbing my hand to start heading to the Slytherin towner. 

As we make our way down the halls all the students stare at us, and whisper to their friends as Hermione and I are walking around holding hands. I just ignore them and smile at Hermione. We continue walking and the amount of Slytherin students in the halls becomes more. They seem to have more looks and whispers than the other houses. Some of them giving me angry looks but I don't care what they think. As we get to the Slytherin House, we walk up the stairs and I say the password before walking into the common room. 

When we arrive in the common room, I look round to see Blaise, Theo and Pansy sitting at the couches we all used to sit at together. Pansy and Theo are facing away from us, but I can see Blaise and he looks up at us, giving us a nod. I see him tell Theo and Pansy we are here, and Pansy snaps her head around and screams in terror. I look over at Hermione to make sure she is okay. "It's going to be alright, if you get too overwhelmed, we will leave okay, just tell me or squeeze my hand," I whisper into her ear, before we make our way to the couches. I continue to hold Hermione's hand to reassure her that I am not going anywhere. Blaise, Theo, and Pansy stand up to greet us as we stand in front of them. "Why are you with her? She is a Mudblood, you are a pure blood. You should never associate with her," Pansy hisses at us. "Well, you are going to have to get used to it because we are together and I care about her so much," I begin to raise my voice, "we came here to chat okay, not to have a fight. I want to have a talk with you guys because I have made a decision about who I love and you are just going to have to deal with it, whether you want to or not. If you wish to be in my life anymore you are going to accept the fact that I have chosen to be with Hermione, and if you want to be in my life then you are going to need to respect her and try to get along". Pansy shuts her mouth before saying anything else, and I nod to Theo and Blaise before leaving, dragging Hermione by the hand, out of the Slytherin common room and way from here. 

We get back to our room and I storm off into my room to take a breather. After a few minutes I look up to find Hermione standing in front of me. "I am so proud of you for saying all that, thank you for standing up for me. Also did you mean what you said in there about loving me?" Hermione asks nervously. "Yes," I say looking up at her with happiness in my eyes. She brings her head down to mine and kisses me with so much passion, and whispers onto my lips, "I love you too". We then move onto the bed to continue what Hermione had tried to start this morning.
