Honeymoon - New York, USA – 20th February 2008

Hermione walked from room to room.

The flat was enormous and spacious.

Five bedrooms, a large living room, a fully functional and equipped pantry and a kitchen.

What won her over was the black and white tiled en suite in the master bedroom.

Draco cut in, "But Thomas..."
