The Marriage Law

Chapter 25

I woke up with Dan looking down at me with closed eyes, almost...crying? He leaned down. What the-- all my thoughts were cut off when he kissed me.

"Daniel Howell!" I yelled when he came up. "Aah!" He screamed, throwing himself backwards on the pavement. I looked around and we were alone in the normal King's Cross. "You passed through the barrier and collapsed, I'm sorry I didn't know..." Dan ranted and mumbled, but I just stared at him. He finished. "You-you like me?" I stared wide-eyed. He hung his head in shame. I got up, dusted myself off, and helped him up. I placed my hands on his neck and leaned in. He put his hands on my waist, and we kissed again.

On the train ride, I leaned on Dan's side, his arm around me. "Dan?" I asked quietly. "Yeah?" He responded, looking down at me. "What's going to happen when I have to get back with Draco?" I looked up at him. "Well, we figure that out later," Dan smiled, kissing my forehead. I smiled back. For the next two hours, that's all I could think about.

We arrived during classes in the middle of the day. We walked hand in hand all the way up to Headmaster MgGonagall's office.

"Headmaster," I said, smiling at her while Dan shifted nervously. She looked up confusedly, sadly, and even with a hint of anger. "Miss. Granger!" She cried, running over to hug me. We hugged and then she turned to look at Dan. "Daniel Howell," she smiled, and hugged him too. He cried with relief, extremely happy he was welcomed back home. MgGonagall chuckled, and Dan stopped crying. "I have your new timetables!"

We started right back up with pregnancy class, and I was the first one there. Dan had marriage assignments.

I say down in my regular seat, my newly straightened hair in a ponytail and fresh makeup. I looked almost unrecognizable. I was signing paperwork saying I was certified to pass even though I'd missed so many days.

As I was siting back down, the kids started rushing in the room. My nose was already in a book, so I didn't notice when the boys sat down.

"Excuse me, lady. Hermione sits here. Move, please," the familiar voice of my future husband commanded. I looked up and the nasty look wiped off his face. "Hermione?" He asked so softly, I almost missed it. "Yeah," I giggled, and he picked me right off the chair and kissed me. We both laughed and Ron and Harry watched with wide eyes. I ran over and hugged them, still laughing. They hugged back, and happily we all sat down for class.
