Chapter 22

Draco

It had been a week since Hermione and I got together and she had been staying at my house the whole time. I had asked her to move in with me a few days ago, I smiled at the memory of asking her to move in with me.

"Hermione, Darling, can I asked you something?" I asked, I was nervous asking her this questions, what if she says no, what if she says it's too early. Hermione was standing in the bathroom putting on makeup for a dinner party that the Weasley's were having.

"Of course love, what is it?" She asked leaning towards the mirror using some pencil on her eye. My hands started to get sweaty trying to think of the right words, but I didn't care anymore, I knew to just ask her when I want to. I'm tired of waiting with her.

"Do you want to move in with me?" I asked confidently. She stopped drawing on her eye for a moment and looked at me from the bathroom, she looked so gorgeous even with half of her face done.

"Are you serious?" She asked making me nod, "Of course! I wouldn't love anything else." She said her smile wide and genuine.

After that day Hermione and I have been boxing up her things and moving them to my house. We were at the last of her things and I had looked underneath her bed to see if anything was under there and there was a small box. I dragged it out from underneath the bed and placed it on top, I opened it and there were ripped up clothes that had dirty and what some sort of stains all over them.

"What's this Darling?" I asked sifting through the clothes.

"Hmm?" She hummed in response and walked out of her closet and looked at the box of clothes. She stopped in her tracks dropping the shirt in her hand as she stared at the box.

"What?" I asked and she stared at it for a few moments more finally she shook her head.

"Those were my clothes that I used during the time Harry, Ron and I were searching for the horcruxs." She whispered, slowly walking towards the box as if at any moment it would attack her.

She took out a jean jacket a pink zip top. The Jean jacket was dirty, and the pink zip top had some holes and was stained with blood, "I wore these during the battle." She said gripping the jacket, and she set them down and looked back into the box. She took out a white jumper and grey jacket, I remember them. She wore them the day Bellatrix tortured her. the day she came to the Manor.

"Why do you have these?" I asked, I threw all mine away, I wanted to forget.

She sighed closing her eyes "To remember what I went through and what happened." She shoving the clothes back into the box, and quickly shut the box tightly.

"Why do you want to remember." I asked taking the box and gently putting it on top of another box, and she continued to pack up the rest of her clothes.

"Because everything thing that happened is apart of me. Some of the things I did has shaped me into the person I am, I may not be proud of some things I did, but i know that I can't run away from it, if I do it'll come back to get me." She said. She was right.

"I don't want to remember what I did." I said honestly and she came out of her closet and sat on the bed next to me.

"Me and you are two different people, you cope differently than I do, and that's okay, you did things you regret and it's understandable to want to forget." She smiled intertwining her fingers with mine.

"I can't forget though, it's literally apart of me." I said and raised my sleeve to show her where the dark mark was, it was now faded and turning into scars.

"Well, you learn from your mistakes and you either dwell on it or move on." She shrugged, I stared at her scar that my aunt gave her and shuddered.

"I own this word now, It does not hurt me like it used to, it's what I am and I am proud of it." she said noticing that I was staring at the scar.

"Honestly Hermione, I truly am sorry for all those years I was mean to you." i said feeling guilty about our school years.

"You've said that a million times love, and I've forgiven you a million times." She smiled and I sighed, before I can say anything she kissed me. I cupped her cheek as we kissed and she pulled away.

"I love you." She smiled.

Hermione

"You bloody prat! You can't do this!" I screamed at Draco making him laugh hysterically.

"Oh you think it's funny? It's your turn, play." I said with pure anger. Draco and I were playing Monopoly, I had taught him how to play 3 weeks ago, the day I was officially moved into his house, so now Is home is my home... officially. We had traded in our Fridays at the parlour to playing monopoly, some how, he's better at this game then me and it was making me angry.

"Shit." he cursed as he landed on one of my properties.

"That'll be 500 please." I said sweetly and he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah you can use it to bail out of jail." he shot back making me angry.

"Listen here you bloody idiot, you're the one who used the get of jail free card." I sneered and he laughed, It was my turn, I used the 500 to get out of jail and he went again, and bought anther property, he had almost bought half the board. It was my turn and I had landed on his property again.

"No!" I screamed I was truly done with this game, I wanted it to end, we've been playing for 30 minuets.

"I like these muggle games." he laughed and held out his hand so I could give him the money.

"I don't have enough." I Snapped and he laughed.

"I guess you'll just have to owe me more then." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"I owe you over 3,000 Draco!" I screamed and he laughed harder. We continued the game and I ended up owing him at least 10,000 and I was done.

"I'm done with you." I snapped standing up from my spot on the floor and he laughed even more.

"Come on darling it's just a game." he said.

"Don't 'darling' me." I snapped flipping over the board, the money, cards and our little figures flew everywhere. I  walked up to our room leaving him laughing hysterically, and clean it up himself.

Minuets later he was still giggling and I was still angry, I never lose at monopoly.

"You are such a child Darling." He smiled getting sitting next to me and trying to wrap his arms around me but I was not having it.

"This reminds me of year 3 when Trelawney basically told you that you were shit at divination." He snorted and I turned over to face him, slapping his chest.

"That's not funny." I said try not to smile, and he laughed more.

"Oh but it is Darling, you got up and pushed the crystal ball off the table and stormed out and never came back, honestly Hermione, I thought that was bad ass." He said making me smile a bit and he kissed my head.

"Sorry I yelled at you." I said and he shrugged.

"We play again next Friday?" he asked making me nod eagerly
