Shell Cottage

What if Draco came with Ron, Harry, Hermione and Dobby out of Malfoy Manor when the three were captured?

They had finally arrived at Shell Cottage. Everyone was panting hard. Harry looked at Dobby sadly, eyes rimmed red, and said a quick prayer for the little house elf who risked so much to save them. Then he glared up at Malfoy.

"Malfoy why are you here?" Harry growled. They didn't mean to apparate Malfoy here along with them. He must've held onto someone's clothes or something. 

"I'm sorry", Draco replied, "I'm sorry for everything".

"Bloody Malfoy", Ron cursed under his breath.

The two boys detested Malfoy. They knew he wasn't cruel or evil like the Death Eaters, but nevertheless he was still the boy who teased them mercilessly in Hogwarts. The two boys knew deep down that they owed Malfoy for not giving away their identities but they just couldn't show their appreciation. Six years worth of teasing does not go away easily.

But however, the moment Fleur saw Draco, she ushered him in motherly, noticing the deep gash running down his cheek and immediately cleaning up the wound.

Hermione glanced at Draco and the two shared a small smile. They were together in a relationship; two years and going strong. Of course, no one knew. They kept their relationship a secret for fear that Voldemort would find out that he no longer held the same prejudices he did when he was a young naive little boy.

Although this was not in the best circumstances, they were at least finally together. When Harry grabbed Hermione's hand, she latched on to Draco, making sure he would also get to their safe destination.

From outside, they heard Bill calling them in for dinner. They all filed in and sat down to eat the hearty meal Fleur made. It was awkward as no one was talking. Bill tried to make some conversation but it died down when no one answered him. In the end, they spent dinner eating silently with the only sounds being their knives and forks clinking against the ceramic plate. When they were done, Draco politely excused himself and went to his shabby guest room.

"Draco?" Bill questioned quietly, the moment he was out of earshot. He was curious as to why the Malfoy boy was here since the beginning. He wanted to ask but of course, couldn't with Draco hovering there.

"He somehow apparated with us", Harry sighed.

"Wha-how?" Bill said.

"I'm sorry I need to say something", Hermione cut in.

"Of course", Bill said, gesturing for Hermione to speak.

"I held Draco's hand when apparating", She confessed, not at all guilty.

"Why?" Harry and Ron exclaimed at the same time.

"He's my boyfriend, I love him", She said simply, looking them in the eye.

"WHAT?" Ron shouted indignantly.

"HOW LONG?" Harry yelled.

Bill and Fleur's mouths were open in shock.

"Harry James Potter. Ron Billus Weasley. Don't even think of talking to me that way. Draco saved your lives in Malfoy Manor today and don't you act like it didn't happen. Treat Draco with the respect and thanks you should be giving. I know you guys don't get along but at least try to be civil for my sake", She said, instantly reminding the boys that she sounded like Mrs. Weasley.

"Yes Hermione", Harry and Ron mumbled, reprimanded.

"Good", She said before walking away in the same direction as Draco.

*line break*

"Merlin, Mione sure was scary back there", Ron said, before getting his knight to smash into Harry's king, "Do you reckon she was serious about Malfoy?"

"I'm not sure", Harry said, keeping his eyes focused on the chess board, "Aw bloody hell, you won again".

"Sorry mate, you just suck at chess", Ron said, smiling, "Lets head up to bed, it's late".

Harry nodded his head in agreement.

They walked past Draco's room. Ron suddenly stopped.

"Harry, lets play a prank on Malfoy!" He said, eyes glinting. Harry knew that Ron liked Hermione.

"You sure about this? Mione will get so mad", He said doubtfully.

"If Mione figures out, we'll just say some crap about welcoming him into the group and this was initiation", He said cleverly.

"Ha okay", Harry was quick to agree.

They quietly snuck up to the closed door. With expertise, Ron gently eased it open, without even a little creak. Then Ron gasped in horror.

"What? What?" Harry said confusedly, keeping his voice in a whisper.

"Look!" Ron said, pointing at the bed.

"Merlin's baggy pants", Harry whispered in shock.

"They-they're sleeping together?!" Ron said frantically.

Harry sighed, "Lets go Ron. They're obviously serious about each other. I mean, just look at them!" 

Ron gazed more intensely at them. Draco was shirtless and his arm was wrapped Hermione's sleeping form. Hermione was cuddled up into him, her head resting on top of his chest. 

"I can't believe Mione is in love with him", Ron sighed, accepting defeat, "But if she's happy then so am I".

"Thank you", Draco whispered, careful to not awake Hermione.

The two boys almost screamed. They didn't know that Draco was awake!

"You have our blessing", Harry said, sounding oddly like a parent.

"You guys mean the entire world to her. Without your support, I know she'd be unhappy", He said, stroking Hermione's hair softly.

"How do you know Mione's going to choose you?" Ron said angrily, that thought triggering him.

"Because she loves me just as much as I love her. I would choose her over anybody in the world, whether it be Blaise or my parents", He said sincerely, in a tone of voice Harry and Ron have never heard.

"Okay good night", Harry said before closing the door, the feels too much for him.

"So they are serious", Harry said.

"Indeed they are", Ron replied.

"I'm tired", Harry said in the dead quiet house at 12 in the night.

"So am I", Ron said.

"Bed?" Harry asked.

"Yup", Ron said, popping the p.

They went to bed no extraordinarily happy for their relationship but just glad that their friend had someone who loved them that much.
