The Marriage Law

Home

After having dinner on the night of their last exam, Harry, Hermione and Draco bid their close friends goodbye and met back in their room.
Their trunks were all ready and packed.

The witch piled them all into her beaded bag and led the boys to the headmistress' office.

A few of their classmates were using the floo as well so, they waited outside for a few minutes before entering.

The teens recalled their bittersweet memories as they departed from the school one last time.

This year they couldn't row the boats back like every other graduating class for their last journey. They should've done it last year but fate is a funny thing.

When the three of them landed in the bleak living room of Grimmauld place, Kreature greeted his master with a deep bow. Harry couldn't help but sigh.

"Kreature. Go rest for the day. You can clean some more tomorrow. "

Hermione grimaced as the aged elf nodded and disappeared.

"Come on guys! "

Harry prompted before walking up the stairs. Once on second floor, he looked back at his companions.

" You can choose any room. All the ones on this floor are clean. I'm tired. "

He yawned and entered his bedroom.

Hermione gave Draco a weak smile and led him to the adjacent room.

"You should take this one. It has a large bathroom and the bed is long enough to fit your legs. "

The wizard gave her a weird look and nodded, entering the room after she pulled his trunk out of her bag.

"Good night Draco. "

The witch pecked his cheek and the tired wizard just waved as she closed his door behind her.

Hermione entered the room she stayed in last time and unpacked her luggage. She sorted through her books late into the night and only went to bed when her eyes couldn't read anymore.

...

Next morning when Hermione left the room, Harry and Draco were both walking down the stairs.

"Good morning! "

She whispered as she joined them. Kreature had already set the table and they all settled down to eat.

"Was the room ok? "

Harry asked looking up at Draco who swallowed before replying.

"Hmm. It was good. "

"I'll look into some properties later on. We need a safer home when we have a family. "

Hermione pointedly focused on a copy from the newspapers Kreature had left by her seat, knowing her habit of reading while eating.

"Don't worry Potter. My lawyer will arrange a meeting with a wizarding property dealer. "

"Oh."

The three finished their breakfast and settled in the living room to talk.

Hermione and Harry took the sofa and Draco made himself comfortable in the armchair.

"So... I've sent in my application to start Auror training."

"Harry. Are you sure? "

Hermione looked at him worriedly.

" I think I am. "

"Okay."

She nodded hesitantly.
