In Need of a Date!

Summary: Hermione was set to marry Ron, Ron cheated on her three nights before the wedding when Hermione found out she called it off. Now, five years later, Harry and Ginny are getting married and Ron is the best man, whilst she is the bride's maid. To make it seem like she didn't come alone to the wedding, Hermione rings the local escort agency to find someone who would be perfect to taunt Ron. Just her luck, they have the perfect man, but what happens when he's Draco Malfoy.

Chapter Eleven: LeTtErS fOr tHe LaST tImE

Mia,

I can't believe I've found time to write to you but Harry's just gone to pick up our dinner. We've hardly left the hotel room, let alone the bed, since we got here. I've dreamed of this moment ever since he and I got together back in Hogwarts. I still can't believe we're married. Any way I can hear Harry coming now so I'll have to cut this short. I hope you and Draco are having fun in Australia and I hope Ron isn't bombarding you with letters, (he's been owling me and Harry ever since the wedding).

I love you lots 'n' lots,

Gin.

Harry,

How could you let Hermione bring that little piece of shit to your wedding? Did you know that she only brought him to annoy me? But now she says she really loves him. Personally I think its bullshit! I don't believe a word of it.

I heard from Fred that said piece of shit was your best man. I also believe this to be a pile of bullshit. I know I walked out but you could've at least given that position to someone like Fred or Oliver. Not Malfoy for Christ's sake. Grr! Any way I hope that Hermione and Draco break up and that Lavender will find it in her heart to forgive me. Ron.

Ronald Weasley,

You ungrateful little bastard! There is no way Mia and Draco will break up. They're currently on a holiday in Australia and no one in their right minds would come back to you after what you did to poor little Lav. Now leave me and Harry alone or I'll be forced to contact mum!

Ginny

Blaise, you'll never guess what has happened to me during the last fortnight. First Hermione hires me as her escort to Ginny and Harry's wedding, then…how do I say this…I fell for her and now we're in Australia. Scary, huh? Well anyway, Hermione' waking up now. See ya when I return, Draco.

XXX

Ginny,

Oh my gosh I'm so happy for you and Harry. However I'd rather not hear about the details. Any way Draco and I have done so much…use your imagination…eww not that…but yes, we're having a great time in Australia. No, Ron hasn't been bombarding me with letters, but I assume he'll start some time soon.

With love,

Mia. Xox.

Draco, are you out of your mind? Falling in love with the mudblood, what would your father say? Does Narcissa know? I do hope that you'll get over her soon. Do you know how bad this is? I can see the headlines now: PUREBLOOD DRACO MALFOY HAS GIVEN HIS HEART TO THE BEST FRIEND OF HARRY POTTER, MUGGLE-BORN HERMIONE GRANGER! And did I read your letter correctly; you called Potter and the Weaselette by their first names. Write me back when you come around, Blaise.

XXX

Sorry dude, but me and Mia are a couple 100 and nothing is gonna change that. you are my best friend so I thought at least you would understand me but I suppose not. Write me when you pull you head out of your ass!

XXX

Gin, I'm back in England. I was hoping to catch up with you soon. Like really soon I have something big, no humungous to tell you! I'm missing you and Harry heaps. Mia!

Six months later:

"Do you, Draco Lucius Malfoy, take this Hermione Elizabeth Granger to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do," said Draco smiling. He gently took Hermione's frail hand and slipped the ring onto her finger.

"And do you, Hermione Elizabeth Granger, take this Draco Lucius Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Blinking away tears Hermione said, "I do," taking Draco masculine hands and slipping the ring onto his finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride,"

And Draco did. He embraced Hermione, throwing back her veil and pressing his lips against hers. He slipped his tongue inside of her mouth and gently caressed the sides of her mouth. It was magical and in Hermione opinion the best kiss she'd ever received.

And that's how this story shall end. Hermione and Draco went to Hawaii for their honey moon and for the first four days they didn't leave the hotel room. God only knows what they were doing.

Hermione almost drove Draco insane with all her knowledge about Hawaii.

"Did you know that…" "Did you realise that this…" "How is it you didn't know that…"

Finally Draco had to silence her with his knowledge "Did you know that if you don't keep you mouth shut, unless of course you're using it to satisfy me, I will not sleep with you until we get back to England,"

Hermione just laughed and told him that the plane was leaving in about three hours.

Nine months after the honeymoon Hermione gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Katrina. They argued endlessly about the name and then about what house she would be in when she got to Hogwarts. Finally Hermione stated she would not be opening her mouth to satisfy Draco anymore until he agreed that she would be a Gryffindor legend. Draco couldn't argue with that.

When Katrina was three another argument broke out about the names of the set of twins Hermione was giving birth to and Draco stated that no more children would be coming into the Granger/Malfoy family if the boy twin (one was a boy one was a girl) wasn't named Salazar.

Hermione laughed but agreed. They both chose the name Sara for the girl.

When the twins were five and Katrina was eight Hermione gave birth to another boy. Hermione decided on the name Blaise and Draco wasn't going to argue.

Only another year later did Hermione give to another child, Elizabeth, and the Granger/Malfoy family lived happily ever after. Well almost.

"Mummy," sighed Katrina, "mummy I can't sleep," she stood in the doorway, letting light flood into Hermione and Draco's room.

Draco mumbled something but Hermione ignored him.

"Oh come here sweetie. I know you're excited about tomorrow but you really need to get some sleep,"

Katrina had turned eleven last month and had received a letter that contained her acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Can I sleep in your bed tonight?"

Hermione shook her head, "I don't know, honey,"

"Oh please," Katrina put on her puppy dog eyes, "just this one last time. Please,"

Hermione laughed, "You know you look just like your father when you do that,"

"And everyone knows you can't resist him," mumbled Draco, rolling over and looking at his wife, "Of course you sleep in here just this once,"

"Yay!" squealed Katrina, jumping into the bed.

"Shh," hissed both Draco and Hermione.

"Don't wake the baby,"

Hermione had recently given birth to her final child, Narcissa, named after Draco's mother.

"Sorry," whispered Katrina, snuggling close to her parents.

Just as Hermione and Draco were falling asleep Katrina asked, "what house to you think I'll be in?"

"Gryffindor," said Hermione quickly.

"Slytherin,' Draco said at the exact same time.

"Huh?"

"Gryffindor," Hermione repeated, "Of course you'll be following in my foot steps,"

Draco shook his head, "I don't think so. You just said she was very much like me,"

"Very much like you, not identical," argued Hermione.

"What's all the fuss?" came a voice from the doorway. There stood Elizabeth, a book in hand, as she stared confusingly at her parents.

Draco laughed, "You Lizzy, are just like your mother,"

Hermione smiled, "How about we make a deal. Kat can go to Slytherin in Liz can come to Gryffindor?"

Draco smirked, "I don't know. Malfoy's have always been Slytherin's,"

"Might I remind you that you were the first Malfoy to fall in love and marry and a muggle born Gryffindor?"

Draco blushed, "Yes, well…"

Hermione kissed his nose, "Let's not fight," she whispered.

"I have an idea," Draco whispered back, planting kisses continuously on Hermione lips.

"I don't think I'll be sleeping in here anymore," said Katrina, jumping out of the bed and running from the room, grabbing Elizabeth on her way out.

Hermione smiled into the kiss she was stealing from Draco. She forced him down and positioned herself on top of him. Slowly her mouth found its way from Draco's mouth to his neck, slowly making its way down his chest. . .use your imagination for what Hermione and Draco got up to that night.

As it turns out Hermione and Draco got a letter the following evening from Katrina saying that she'd arrived at Hogwarts and that she'd been placed in Ravenclaw. Neither were too surprised.

Now Ron on the other hand ended up living a short life as a hobo on the streets. Nah, just kidding. But he was shunned from his family for seven years. Well everyone in his family except for Fred and Arthur. When Molly finally forgave him he was still hated by Ginny and Hermione but was still Harry's best mate. Draco and Ron never found their friendship but have learnt to act civil around each other. Draco and Harry also became pretty close. Fred and Angelina ended up going to couples therapy, only to find that Fred had cheated on Angie more than she had thought. But all in all everyone lived a pretty happy life…
