Draco shifted the box he was carrying around. "Seriously, Granger, if I have to carry one more cursed box of books up four flights of stairs, I will throttle your cat. And you." He grunted as he shoved the box of books onto the table, coughing a little at the dust that rose from them. "Most definitely you."

Hermione brushed off his glare with a wave of her hand, looking over her shoulder at him. "You're the one who asked me to move in with you. And, you're also the one who didn't think that 'dignified' people had bottom floor flats."

His glare intensified a bit as he crossed his arms. "As I recall, you're the one who wanted the view."

Hermione shrugged, taking an armful of books from the box he'd brought up and started placing them on a bookcase at random. Later, she could take her time. She would sort them in just the way she wanted them sorted... She smiled happily at the thought. Draco rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I know that look. You only get all ga-ga eyed when you're thinking about feeling up your books."

She placed the last book on the shelf and turned to look at him, an eyebrow raised as she brushed the dust from her shirt. "I seem to recall going quite 'ga-ga' over a certain handsome blonde."

Draco's cheeks mantled a bit as he shifted uncomfortably. He hated it when she pulled out compliments like that. He was used to being adored, sure. But having the woman he loved come out and say it like that (when he least expected it) was a little unsettling. "Does this mean you want to get naked?" He shot back, trying to regain some of his footing.

Her laugh was like bells, he thought, as she tilted her head back, pushing her hair from her eyes. "Later, love. Got more things to unpack, and I still have to go get Pudding from my parents." She smiled, her gaze softening as she looked over him. "On second thought, we probably have time for a drink and some rest."

Draco snorted at her and pulled his sweater off over his head, shaking the dust from it with his nose wrinkled as Hermione sorted through boxes in the kitchen. She finally emerged, a bottle of wine and two mismatched wine glasses held in her hands. She held them up victoriously as she flopped onto the sofa, pushing boxes out of the way as Draco sat beside her.

"Moving is absolutely horrid," he commented as she poured his wine, her honey brown eyes laughing at him as she handed him the glass.

"Yes, it is." Leaning back, Hermione splayed her legs over his lap, setting the wine bottle precariously on an almost flat box. "But... it does mean I get to live with you." Her smile reminded him of sunshine. It made him warm on the inside.

Silent for a second, Draco nodded after a moment. "Then, I suppose that all this hassle is worth it... because you're worth it, too."

It was Hermione's turn to be embarrassed. "You're making me blush, get naked and distract me."

Draco gave a grin, his eyes dancing with the prospect. "As you wish, m'lady."

And he did.


A/N: Drabble, again. If you're wondering about the summaries, I'm getting plots from the Seventh Sanctum plot generator. Those are the 'prompts' that I've been using. :) Enjoy!
