18. The Proposal (II)

It had been 2 months since Hermione recovered. She and Draco lived together in the house Draco had bought during the war. Although Draco never asked her out, they were considered as a couple because of their love for each other.

"Hermione!! Come downstairs. Weaslette-soon to be-Potterete is here.", Draco called while standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Ginny smacked him upside down on the head.

" Ow woman! No need to be so violent."

Ginny grinned and then smiled as Hermione came downstairs.

" Hello, Gin!", she greeted her with a hug.

" Hello to you too, Merlin ! You're glowing!", Ginny exclaimed and Hermione blushed.

" Does this have something to do with-", she cared her throat and looked over at Draco and raised her eyebrows suggestively.

" Do what you came here for.", Draco scowled.

Ginny rolled her eyes and turned to Hermione.

"Would like to go dress shopping with me? I wanted to ask you first and then we'll ask the others, if you're fine with it. "

Hermione smiled and her eyes sparkled.

" I was thinking when you'd ask. Sure!", she beamed excitedly.

" Just give me a minute."

"Sure, Mione", Ginny smiled.

Hermione ascended the stairs, two at a time and Draco smiled at her and shook his head. He turned and found Ginny smirking at him.

He scowled. " What is it now? Am I glowing too?"

Ginny laughed. " No Malfoy, you aren't glowing, but your eyes are. ", she smirked yet again.

Draco rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch.

" Why do you and Hermione have separate bedrooms when you sleep together ?", she asked curiously.

" For your information, Weaslette, we haven't slept together even once."

"Oh really now Malfoy. What do you think I am? A fool ?"

"That's exactly what I think you are.", he smirked.

" No, but seriously. Why don't you guys share a room? And don't look at me like that. It s just that I......I'm scared that she might.....might you know...return to her previous state."

"Don't worry about that. You're right, we should share a bedroom. We do sleep together afterall."

"Gotchaaa!!", Ginny smirked.

" O ya mad woman,  I said we sleep together. Like sleep sleep. Like when your mother sings you lullabies and your eyes start droo-"

"Oh so you sing her lullabies?", Ginny suggested.

Draco smacked his forehead and Ginny laughed.

" I don't know how Harry puts up with you."

"That you'll never know.", she grinned.

"I'm ready! Let's go, Gin.", Hermione came down.

" Bye Draco", she walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. Draco smiled.

"Have fun!", he called as the green flames of the floo engulfed her.

Luna, Daphne, Ginny, Lavender, Pansy and Hermione made their way towards Madam Malkin's boutique.  It was a new branch, meant only for party wear. They had all become quite close friends ever since the day in the hospital when Hermione was given the potion. 

Ginny had asked Hermione to be her maid of honour and the others to be her bridesmaids.

They bought their dresses and matching accessories ** A/N. Wait for the next chp 😉**

"I'm tired guys,  see you at lunch tomorrow? ", Hermione asked.

" Sure", Daphne smiled and hugged her. They bade her goodbye and she disapparated.

She appeared at their house and saw Draco pacing in front of the fireplace.  He looked at her and rushed towards her.

"Merlin Hermione, I was so scared! Dress shopping doesn't take 6 hours."

Hermione's heart fluttered when she saw how dishevelled he looked. He had been worrying about her. She smiled and placed her palm on his right cheek. { her right, his left. }

"I'm fine now, Draco. Stop worrying about me.", she said softly.

"I can't. Believe me, I can't. ", he sighed and turned away.

Hermione snaked her arms around his chest from behind and laid her head on his shoulder. Draco turned around and hugged her tightly to him.

" Please inform me next time."

"I promise, I will.", Hermione reassured him and placed a kiss on his cheek.

" Good.", he smiled and felt her lips, too crack into a smile against his neck.

"FUCK! BLAISE! MY EYESSS! IM SCARRED FOR LIFE NOW YOU IDIOT !!", Theo screamed and Blaise and Pansy jumped apart from the couch and fixed their clothes.

" That was rude, Theo.", Luna said.

He scowled.
Blaise smirked. "You found yourself just the right girl, Theo. No one but Luna would be able to put up with you."

"Is that a challenge, Zabini?", Theo smirked.

"Erhm erhm.", Theo turned around and saw Luna tapping her foot.

" I'm still here you know."

Theo sneered at Blaise and pulled Luna towards their room.

"You know I wouldn't do it.", he said.

"Of course I know.  I was only kidding.", Luna smiled.

" And you do know that I love you, right ?", Theo asked sincerely.

Luna blushed slightly and smiled.

"I do."

"Then please say this after two weeks.", he said while looking into her eyes and felt himself melting.

" Say what ?", she asked, confused.

"What you just said."

"I do?"

"I do.", Theo grinned.

"Theodre Nott!  Is this your way of proposing to me ?", Luna asked incredulously.

" What if I say it is.", Theo said nervously.

"I love you. Yes! Yes. I'd say it for a thousand times.", she whispered.

Theo smiled. " I know. And that's why I've planned our wedding. It's two weeks from today."

"Merlin Theo! That's just a week after Harry's! "

"I know.", Theo smirked.
" Our wedding is going to be on a beach. Just us. Me and you. "

Luna hugged him and began to cry.

" I miss dad.", her voice broke.

" I miss my parents too, Luna. But we have each other for now don't we?
I'll start a job and then we'll have our own money, our own house which you'll decorate. We'll hang radishes to keep nargles away. And then we'll have little Theos and Lunas running around the house. ", Theo said, all the while rubbing Luna's back. Luna backed away and a small sob escaped her lips.

" I love you too much, Theodre Nott. Marry me?", she asked through her tears.

" You really are one of a kind, aren't you?", Theo smiled and picked her up bridal style, making her squeak and carried her to their bed, fully intending to make love to her all night.
