Hermione woke up earlier than anyone else. He visited her again and she understood what she had to do.

That didn't mean she wanted to do it. She looked back and Draco peacefully sleeping. She smiled and knew how she wanted to spend today. Only with him.

She walked out the door and saw Theo, Ron and Blaise sleeping in the living room. Harry and Ginny were sleeping in Dracos room, and Hermione wondered where Pansy was. However she realized Blaise was snuggling her and she smiled to see them together. She had no idea.

She decided to make breakfast and lunch for today. She wanted to have a picnic with Draco. Then dinner with all of them.

She began to make waffles for everyone to eat. Then began making sandwhiches for herself and Draco. They needed today. They wouldn't have tomorrow.

Theo woke up once the sweet aroma of waffles surrounded the room. He sleepily smiled and stretched.

"Morning," Hermione chirped. He hummed one he took the first bite of his waffle.

The rest followed in and began eating. Ginny began helping Hermione make some.

Draco was the last awake and was disappointed to wake up alone. He stretched and sat up, hearing laughter.

He opened his door and saw everyone sitting around eating. He saw Hermione in the kitchen still preparing food.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty." Pansy said with her mouthful. He gave her the finger and she cracked up more.

He hugged Hermione from behind and kissed her cheek.
She turned around in his embrace and kissed his lips softly.

"I made waffles, have some yourself. Coffee is over there." She said lowly. Draco stared at her face...something was off.

"Did you eat?" He said while she was trying to get out of his grasp, but he wasn't letting her go.

"Yes i ate." She said raising an eyebrow.

"Then what's bothering you?" He said trying to get her to meet his eyes again.

"Nothing...Im just still a bit sick. But other than that i'm alright." She smiled and pecked him on the lips.

"Plus i have a surprise for you later." He raised his eyesbrows finally letting her out of his grasp.

"Really?" She nodded smugly.

"Yep. Lunch time." She smirked at him. He laughed, she wore it best.

He joined his friends as they all were talking amongst themselves. Draco watched Hermione though, when she turned her back.

She would stop and take a breath, then let it out slowly. Something was very wrong, and she was holding it back.

She turned back and began to walk over towards the group.

"What's everyone's plan for today?" Ginny asked. She was welcomed with nothings and shrugs.

"Well Harry and I were thinking of playing a quidditch match around noon."

Everyone agreed to that idea.

"Draco and I have something planned for then, but we'd love to meet up with you guys for dinner!" Hermione said. They all nodded

As lunch rolled around people started to leave.

Draco and Hermione were the only ones left.

Hermione climbed into his lap and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"So what is this afternoon present?" Draco asked as he kissed her hair.

"A picnic. Let's go." She said getting up and grabbing everything she made, a basket and a blanket.

They walked down the hallways hand in hand. Draco smirked down at hermione as she was looking down at her feet.

They set up near the Black lake, they'd be able to see the sunset that way.

"You made my favorite?" He asked as he opened the basket. She nodded with a smile.

They ate in silence and Hermione kept looking over at the Forbidden Forest, getting sick in her stomach.

"Do you think things will ever go back to normal?" She whispered. He moved the basket aside and brought her into his lap.

"Yes, our kind of normal. We just have to get you better before any thing else happens." He smiled as she relaxed in his embrace.

"You are the only man I have ever loved." She whispered to him. He looked down at her, she was becoming teary eyed.

"Granger, is something wrong?" She blinked back the guilt and looked up at him.

"It's just my parents...he showed me how they died." She said wiping a tear.

Draco kissed her hair. She looked over again at the forbidden forest and began sobbing.

"Shhh...It's okay i'm here. I'm here Granger." She turned her face into him and kept crying.

"I have to tell you something.." He said. She looked up at him and he brushed away a tear with his thumb.

"When we were separated...your parents were visiting me in my dreams. They remember you..and love you so much."

He couldn't tell her emotion, and just decided to embrace her closer.

"Thank you." She whispered.

She stared at the clouds as Draco played with her hair.

"And also, you're the only woman i've ever loved." He kissed her cheek then her shoulder.

She turned to him and leaned towards his lips, planting a small kiss on them.

Dracos hand kept their mouths together, and they melted into eachothers embrace. Hermione tugged on his hair as their kiss became heated.

She lost her breath when he planted kisses on her neck and lower.

Hermione closed her eyes, as the two of them performed another sort of magic.

She gripped the grass and bit her lip and he hovered over her.

"Draco," She breathed softly.

Thirty minutes later, Hermiones head was on his chest playing with the buttons on his shirt.

"How does June sound?" He asked. She looked up at him confused.

"June?" She asked.

"For our wedding."'He said looking out into the distance.

"Draco..." She said blushing.

"Not this June, unless you want it to be. Any june, my love." She smiled at him and looked back at the sun setting.

She couldn't let herself get wrapped up in an idea of forever with him.

There would be no forever. She let herself believe in it for tonight.
