3rd POV

Draco Malfoy was waiting for the right time to enter the Room of Requirement as everyone was pasting by for Professor Slughorn. He didn't know what had happened in the Room, and was in for a surprise as he arrived at where the room opened up.

The Room was now full to the brim with magical and strange objects as Draco looked for what he was searching for. On his way, he saw what had happened when someone was last in the Room. The destroyed model of the Death Eater was still sprawled around with pieces, some coated with blood. Draco had heard that his cousin, Y/N, was last in the room after a breakdown triggered by Cormac McLaggen.

And for the first time in his life... he felt sorry for him.

He recalled over the years that he had tormented Lana and Y/N, along with Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and the infamous Harry Potter. Since his second year, he knew about how they were Grindelwald's grandchildren, and due to his parent's ambitions for him, he was brought up the way he was. After Katie's attack, which he orchestrated, he felt guilt, remorse, all of the emotions welled up inside him.

He was made a servant of Lord Voldemort by his parents. He did have the Dark Mark. He was a Death Eater in Hogwarts.

But he didn't want any of it.

He wanted a life where he could do what he wanted without his names described with great evil. He felt guilt for everything, but he didn't want to admit it. He felt sorry for calling Hermione "Mudblood," mocking Harry numerous times, and hurting Y/N and Lana several times.

They were his cousins. Why didn't he try to make up with them? Talk to them like people and respect their choices?

Because of his father's damn philosophies about blood-purity, like Voldemort's. Draco didn't want anything to do with them.

But he was scared of Voldemort. So he had to comply with it. Or one Avada Kedavra later, he would know no more.

Before he set himself to the task, he kneeled down at the damage that Y/N caused. All pure rage and brokenness went into the destruction. Because he loved Hermione and was afraid she'd leave him because of who he was.

But yet, Hermione still loved Y/N as well. No matter of who he was.

'How can Y/N have that?' Draco wondered to himself. 'We're the same. We're alike. He and his sister originated from Grindelwald and I'm a Malfoy. How was that different?'

It was simple. Y/N and Lana were brought up with a loving mother who taught them right from wrong. They were taught not to disrespect people for who they were, Muggle-borns, Squibs, Half-Bloods, Purebloods, whatever. They were caring, kind and loving towards their family, their friends, and their loved ones.

Draco was brought up by two Pure-Blood parents, one was a Death Eater, one wasn't, but both were obsessed with blood purity. Draco was taught how Pure-bloods were above all, and anything lesser was treated like dirt. And opposite of the twins, he called Muggle-borns "Mudbloods" and was rude to everyone.

"I'm sorry, Y/N," He said aloud to no-one present. "I'm sorry for everything I've done. I truly am." He got up to a cabinet, akin to the one he saw in Borgin & Burkes.

A Vanishing Cabinet.

He ran his hand across the door and brushed the dust off his fingers. He removed an apple from his pocket, opened the door and placed the apple in. He muttered something that no one knew, reached out again and opened the door.

The apple is gone.

He closed the cabinet and waited even longer. After a while, he opened it again and the apple had returned. He removed the apple from the cabinet and examined it.

Someone took a bite out of the apple.

Y/N POV

I was getting ready for Slughorn's Christmas Party in our dorm. I put on an overcoat, a white button-up shirt and black trousers. I was just putting on my tie, which I was able to tie while Hermione was still getting ready in the washroom. Snowball was sitting on the bed, waiting for Anne since she asked if she can babysit her and Snuffles and we agreed. Crookshanks was also going but Hermione had him well-behaved. Crookshanks was really intelligent.

I did need to fix my hair but Hermione was getting ready in there, so I was waiting until she let me in. Fortunately, that wasn't long.

"Y/N!" She called out for me. "You can come in now!" I grabbed some of my hair paste and came in to find Hermione in a stunning pink dress. She looked so beautiful, so pretty. I stood there and looked at her as she looked back.

"Everything okay, Love?" She asked. "You're blushing really hard."

"Oh, yeah," I said as I smiled at her. "It's just... you look really beautiful in pink, babe."

"Aww, I love you so much," She said as she pressed her lips on mine and I snuck one of my arms around her and one on her neck.

"I love you more, baby," I said to her as we stopped. "I do need to fix my hair though before we leave. Don't want it flopping around."

"Oh, I'll help you with that!" Hermione said. "Come on, let me try something."

"Alright then," I said with another kiss. "I trust you." Hermione opened the paste container and ran her fingers through my blond hair. I felt my hair raise up with her hands and as soon as she was done, she washed her hands as I looked at my hair. She had styled it perfectly, like what I had in mind.

"Oh my god," I said as I looked in the mirror. "I swear you can read my mind sometimes."

"Well, that's ironic," She giggled. "You're the Legilimens here." She stood behind me and hugged me from behind. I was a little taller than her, (she was about Lana's height), so her arms were by my chest. "You know, I can't wait for the future." She said as I turned around and faced her.

"And why's that?" I asked as I rubbed my thumb across her cheek and she placed her hand on mine.

"Cause we'll do everything together," She said. "We've been to the Muggle World, but there's so much more than that. Date nights before we get married, going around the world, moving in together, actually getting married, and us...in love."

"Then I can't wait either, Love," I said as we kissed again. "You're the only girl I want to spend the rest of my life with, but someone will come too."

She frowned and looked me in the eyes. "Who, Y/N?"

I smiled and said, "Our daughter, sweetheart. And she will be just as amazing and beautiful as her mother."

Her frown turned back into a smile as she kissed me again. "You sweet-talker," She giggled. "And I bet our daughter will be just as sweet as her father. Now come on, we got to get to Slughorn's and meet up with Harry and Lana. We'll continue this later, okay?"

"Yes, ma'am," I grinned and kissed her again. We walked out of my dorm, arm-in-arm with each other as we arrived at Slughorn's a little while later. Harry had indeed taken Luna, who was wearing a very shiny dress, while Lana came with Sam and she was wearing a blue and gold dress. She looked really elegant.

Harry was taking a picture with Slughorn as he said, "Thank you, Adrian! One of mine. Class of '78. I had hoped for more out of him, but at least the pictures are in focus." He turned around to Harry, "Oh my! Excuse me, Harry. I must greet the new Minister of Magical Transportation. Class of '67. Mingle, m'boy! Mingle! We're all friends here. And we run the world."

Turns out Neville and Marcus didn't make it into the Slug Club and were working as waiters around. There were loads of people here, I thought Newt and Tina would be here, but they were in America at the moment. They owled and said they'll be back in the spring.

We were enjoying ourselves for a good 30 minutes until Hermione pulled me away as she kissed me on the lips and pulled herself to my body and we were snogging passionately until someone came through, revealing Lana.

"Hey, sis," I said as we stopped.

"Hey..." She said with a small smile. "I see you both are enjoying ourselves."

"Can I hide here?" She asked. "I've just escaped Cormac."

I was confused. Didn't she go with Sam?

"Yes, I did go with Sam," She said. "He went to grab something and Cormac wouldn't get away from me. So I left him. Under the mistletoe. Thought going with Sam would annoy Ron."

Hermione frowned. "Can't McLaggen take a bloody hint from either of us?" She said. "We both said no to him."

"And I will give him a swift kick in the area where the --" I said before Hermione kissed me quickly.

"Dragon tartar?" A waiter said as he peeked in with a tray. "No, thank you," We all said at the same time.

"Just as well," The waiter said. "They give one horribly bad breath."

Lana's eyes lit up and said, "On second thought -- maybe it'll keep Cormac at bay. Shit, here he comes!" She said as she took two and ate it before Cormac could come in. Snape came around the same time as Lana left.

"Hey, Lovegood," McLaggen said. "Where's your sister gone? Think she's warming up to me. Hey there, Granger." He said, looking at Hermione as she glared angrily.

"For your information, she's not," I said as the smile on his face diminished. "And it's none of your business, dickhead. She's not into dumb people like you"

McLaggen scoffed again and took a tartar. "Slippery little minx, your sister. Likes to work her mouth too, doesn't she? Saw her with that American bloke. Yak yak yak. What is this I'm eating, by the way?"

"Dragon shit," We both said to him as he turned around and faced Snape. "What's going on back here?" He asked in the tone we've heard for many years. Before we could say anytime, Cormac threw up on Snape's shoes and looked back up to meet his lazy but angry gaze. "You've just bought yourself three month's detention, McLaggen." He said. "Make it more if you cannot respect personal space or a moment between people that does not concern you."

Wait... did he just help us out a little?

Interesting...

Harry had come in to join us as McLaggen ran off. Snape stayed back as I said, "Thank you, Professor." He hasn't helped us like this ever since our first year with Quirrell. "Do not worry about it, Mr. Lovegood," He said in his stoic, monotone voice. . "But I must speak with you and Potter. I only wish to convey a message."

"A message...?" Harry asked him.

"From Professor Dumbledore to you both and Miss Lovegood," He said. "He asked that I give you his best and that he hopes you enjoy your holiday. You see, he's traveling and won't return until term resumes."

"Traveling?" Harry asked. "Where?"

Snape didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head to Mr. Filch, who came in with none other than Draco Malfoy in his grip. He didn't look that comfortable. "Professor Slughorn, sir!" Filch said. "I've just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party."

"Okay, okay!" Draco said. "I was gate-crashing, happy?"

"I'll escort him out," Snape said as he walked out and Filch handed Draco to Snape.

"Certainly, Professor," Malfoy said to Snape as they left.

"I'm getting a little tired, babe," Hermione said as she yawned. "Could we go?"

"Yeah, me too," I said as Harry followed the two of them. She joined me arm-in-arm and we walked down to our dorm. "Wonder how Anne's doing with Snowball, Crookshanks and Snuffles," She asked as we were walking. "She really likes them, you know?"

"Yeah, I've seen," I said. "Snuffles loves her. Oh, and for break, Lana wants to be away from Ron, so we're going back home over holiday. Is that okay with you? For our anniversary?"

"Yeah, that's okay," She said. "I still hope Lana is gonna be okay with the Ron thing."

"Still can't believe he's snogging Lavender all the time," I said. "Oh, and another thing, I've asked Grace, Anne's caretaker, if she can join us over break. And she said yes. Turns out her husband's a wizard working in the Ministry of Magic, so she knows about Magic. "

Hermione beamed. "That's amazing! Now I really can't wait for the break."

We arrived in the Gryffindor Common Room and made our way to our dorm. As we entered the dorm, we found Anne sleeping with Snowball and Snuffles curled up next to her. "Oh..." I said.

"She must have gotten tired," Hermione said as she brushed Anne's hair off her face. "We should take her back to the Girl's Dormitory."

"Yeah," I said. "I'll carry her." I walked over to her sleeping form, picked her up and Hermione put her arms around my neck as we went in and found Anne's bed. I opened the poster bed, Hermione opened the blacket and I placed her in the bed and covered her. Hermione kneeled down to Anne's level and kissed her forehead. Anne smiled in her sleep and rolled around in her bed.

"You know, this sounds kind of weird," I whispered to Hermione. "But I feel we're parents to her in a way. Kinda like Snuffles."

"Yeah, actually," She said as she looked at me and smiled. "I feel the same."

She took my hand and we went back into our dorm, but Hermione closed the door to the dorm and put Snowball and Snuffles carefully next to Crookshanks, who was also sleeping.

"Hey, Hermione?" I asked. "What's going on --" She cut me off by kissing me on the lips against the wall and I kissed her back. She took off my tie and threw it to the side and I felt the top few buttons on my shirt open up. "Woah, Hermione," I said as we stopped kissing. "We're not doing... 'that' now, are we?"

She looked me in the eyes, "No... I mean, not yet," She said shyly. "I was thinking something else. Not 'that' just yet."

"Oh, okay," I said as I kissed her again. "I just wanted to be sure, we don't want to make Lana an aunt at 17."

"Yeah, you're right," She giggled a little. Boy, do I love that adorable giggle of hers. "I do want to have my first with you. I want all my firsts with you."

"Me too, Love," I said as she kissed me again and pulled me on the bed. Since my shirt was unbuttoned, I rolled up my sleeves and kept kissing her until we fell asleep.

Harry POV

I snuck after Snape and Malfoy after the professor escorted him out. Something was definitely wrong so I followed them with the Invisibility Cloak. I had to do it on my own, Lana was trying to avoid Cormac and get back to Sam, Ron spent all his time as a "free agent" with Lavender snogging, and Y/N and Hermione had gotten back to their dorm. I stood out in the hall as I heard Snape talk to Malfoy.

"Maybe I did hex that Bell girl," Malfoy said. "Maybe I didn't. What's it to you?"

I peeked in and saw Malfoy leaning against the wall in front of Snape, who was evidently mad.

"I swore to protect you!" He said. "I made the Unbreakable Vow --"

Wait, what's an unbreakable vow?

"I don't need protection!" Malfoy yelled. "I was chosen for this! Out of all others! Me! And I won't fail him!"

I was right! Malfoy's working for Voldemort!

"You're afraid, Draco," Snape continued. "You attempt to conceal it, but it's obvious. Let me assist you --"

"No! I was chosen. This is my moment!"

I have to tell everyone else. Maybe I can use one of the Prince's spells and figure it out.

The holiday break came around and we were all leaving for home. Addison was coming back with us since Professor McGonagall said she could spend time with us over holiday as it was her first year as a teacher and Deputy Headmistress. We were going to visit Ron at the Burrow since Lana didn't want to be around him, so we respected her decision, but had to lie to Ron. Besides, Y/N asked us to help with his and Hermione's anniversary preparations, so it was the perfect excuse.

I decided to talk with Ron for a moment since he and Lavender were together. Everyone else was upset about it, they wanted him and Lana together and were in another compartment. I had already told them about the Vow.

"Unbreakable Vow," Ron said. "You're sure that's what Snape said."

"Positive. Why?" I asked.

"It's just...," Ron said. "Well, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow."

"I'd work that much out for myself, funnily enough," I said sarcastically.

"No, you don't understand," He said before looking at the window. "Oh, bloody hell..."

Lavender was standing outside the compartment door and fogged the window with her breath to spell out, "Ron + Lav", circled that around with a heart and mouthed, "I miss you." before she left with the Patil twins. I suddenly found my shoes interesting and muttered, "Lovely."

"All she wants to do is snog me," Ron said. I guess Lavender just did it to make Lana upset then. Very rude of her. "My lips are getting chapped. Look." He got up to show me. "I'll take your word for it."

Lana was walking by the doors and looked at Lavender's heart. She looked hurt and angry at the same time as she stared at it and walked away as Ron put his hand on his head, possibly regretting getting with Lavender.

"So what happens?" I asked him. "If you break an Unbreakable Vow?"

Ron looked at the heart as it faded from existence and back at me.

"You die."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived back home at Lovegood Manor with Addison, Y/N, Lana, Hermione and Anne. Addison was happy to let Anne come with us since Anne was actually one of her best students in Transfiguration and one of her favorites. She even allowed her to call her by Addison instead of Professor Lovegood since we weren't at school. Anne stayed in one of the guest rooms as we all went to our rooms.

The day break started, I went out to the garden with Y/N to help him with his ideas for their anniversary. Lana was doing the same with Hermione to get her mind off Ron and Anne joined them. Y/N wanted to make the garden bloom with loads of beautiful flowers, so we looked through the library's books for a spell that we could use with Addison. We found two of them, the Herbivicus Charm and "Orchideous", and we asked Addison if she could help us with it, and she said yes to that. Soon enough, the garden was blooming with beautiful flowers that Hermione would love to see.

Loads of roses, marigolds, asters, magnolias filled the garden and Y/N beamed as they bloomed quickly. "This is going to be great!" He said as he smiled at us. "Hermione is going to love this so much!"

"You know, Y/N," Addison said. "What were you planning in the garden anyway?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking the same, Mum," I said to her as she smiled at me. I'm really seeing her as more of a mother figure to me.

"Oh, right," Y/N said as he smiled even more. "I was planning on doing something with Hermione the night we got together at the Yule Ball. We were dancing together so I wanted to do that again, just in a better environment. Just us slow dancing to some music. I have more ideas too, I just need to get everything together."

Over the days before Christmas, I have been helping Y/N with the anniversary preparations. He had gotten all the letters he had ever sent to Hermione, plus some that he wrote to let her know how much he loved her and some photos. I knew Lana and Anne were helping Hermione with her preparations, so it was pretty busy for both groups. Addison was watching both groups with a smile on her face and didn't tell each other about the other's plan.

Let me tell you what...

I can't wait for the day they get married. I hope I'm the best man.

Y/N was extremely happy to plan everything, and in the times I saw Hermione, she was too. And Lana was too, seeing she's not thinking of Ron at the moment. Eventually, Christmas came around, and it was time for Y/N's plan in action.

Hermione POV

Christmas was finally here, and so was our anniversary. I woke up in Y/N's bed with Snuffles, but surprisingly he wasn't there next to me, so I stroked Snuffles' fur as he woke and nuzzled his head on my nose, making me laugh a little. I let Snuffles run around and play with something shiny as I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, made my hair, made everything ready and went downstairs to the kitchen to find Y/N. As I set both my feet on to the floor, I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes and I laughed. "Who's there?" I said jokingly as I felt some breath on my ear.

"Votre petit ami, chérie," (Translation: your boyfriend, darling.)

I giggled as Y/N uncovered my eyes and kissed my cheek. "Morning, 'Mione," He said in English. "Happy Anniversary, love."

"Happy Anniversary," I said back and kissed him on his lips. "Je t'aime."

(A/N: I'm sure we know what that means; if not, it's "I love you" in French.)

"Look at you, learning more romance in French," He teased as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me again. "Je t'aime aussi. I have a special day prepared for us today but first... you want your Christmas present?" I nodded happily as we sat next to the tree and we decided to wait for everyone, so I sat on Y/N's lap and kissed him. Soon enough, Lana, Harry and Anne came downstairs and we opened our presents.

Anne got me a book I wanted for a while, which I appreciated from her, Lana got me a candle that smells like a library which smelled incredible, Harry got me a set of tea drops that I put in hot water so it will make some good tea for a nice day. But Y/N's was absolutely special. When he went to grab it, he picked it up like it was the most delicate thing in the world. He brought it over to me with a smile on his face and carefully handed it to me. "Careful when you open it," He said. "It may rip."

I did as he told me and carefully unwrapped it, revealing a what seemed to be a book with the title, "Our Story", I looked at him as Anne looked at the book with curiosity. However, Harry smiled at the both of us as he saw the book. I opened to the first page, where a picture from Hogwarts from our first year when it was the picture day there. Somehow, there was a picture of the five of us in our first year.

"Grandma had that photo taken by the way," Y/N said. "I mentioned to her our anniversary was coming up and she gave me this and a few others. As I flipped through the pages, I saw the first letter Y/N ever wrote to me around Christmas in our first year and my response to it. Even more pictures were there and more letters from when he was in New York and when I was in France. It had the pictures I sent from France, Colin Creevy's pictures from the party in 3rd year, our Hogsmeade dates, our Muggle World dates, pictures with Snuffles, and pictures of us now. There were even little sweet and lovely notes from him And there was more space for more memories.

I felt a single tear come out of my eye as I hugged Y/N and kissed him on the lips. "I love it so much," I said to him. "I love you."

He kissed me again. "I love you too," He said as he rubbed my cheek. "And that's not all for today."

"I can't wait, babe," I said to him. "Oh, wait! I have to give your your present!" I quickly grabbed a package and handed it to him as I smiled at him. He unwrapped it carefully and opened it to find a fancy watch that I got for him. I knew he had another watch I gave him, but I wanted to get him something fancy for our anniversary. He looked amazed at the watch and looked at me.

"This looks incredible, 'Mione," He said. "This is an amazing watch."

I giggled. "If you think it's incredible," I said. "Look at the bottom of the watch, there's a nice little surprise for you." He took out the watch and looked down to find the engraving on the bottom as he read it out.

"I'll always love you more," He read it. "I am forever yours, but the future is ours. Love, Hermione." He smiled, slipped on the watch, and kissed me. "I love it so much, baby."

"I'm glad you do," I kissed him. "So what else is going to happen today?"
"Well, I managed to get us a fancy date this afternoon," He said as he rubbed my shoulders. "I am really excited for that."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So you're going on a date with Y/N?" Anne asked as I was looking for my best dress. "That's nice for your anniversary."

"Oh, definitely," Lana said to her. "You know their story, right? How we met her, when they got together, all that?"

"Yep," Anne said. "It's really cute, I love the story."

Y/N was with Harry, making sure everything was ready and perfect for our date together, while Lana and Anne were talking with me as I got ready. "What's it like to go on a date, Hermione?" Anne asked me as I was changing. "Is it fun?"

"Oh, yeah!" I said with a smile. "They're amazing. Especially at Hogsmeade. When Y/N and I went for the first time, we did loads of things. We went to the post office, he taught me how to hold an owl, we adopted Snuffles, went to Honeydukes and had Butterbeer for the first time. I loved it so much. And on our later dates, we had our first kiss under the mistletoe."

"It still makes me happy to hear everything about the two of them," I heard Lana say. I'm glad she's feeling better after the whole Ron thing. I finished changing into my dress and opened the door, making the two girls gasp and smile while Snuffles, who was in Anne's hands looked at me, squealed as I sat down next to Anne and rubbed his fur as he purred.

(A/N: The dress Emma is wearing is the one Hermione's wearing.)

"Hermione, you look really, really good!" Lana said. "Y/N is going to be speechless when he sees you."

"I guess that would be the operative word," A voice said behind us, revealing to be Y/N blushing like mad as he saw me. I smiled at him and he smiled back adorably as his face was still red. He was wearing a dressy-slash-casual outfit, consisting of a blue-button-up shirt, dark jeans, a different dark blue overcoat and some boots.

"I kind of feel undressed now," He said with a laugh.

"No, no," I said as I got up. "You look good. Really good." I leaned in and whispered in his ear. "Kinda hot too..." He blushed again as he kissed me. "Well, you look beautiful as always," He said. "Come on, we don't want to be late." He smiled as he took my hand and I waved goodbye to Anne and Lana.

A couple of minutes later, we arrived at the restaurant Y/N got us a date on. The waiter had greeted us politely and ushered us to a table, near a good view of the streets of London and Y/N pulled the chair out for me first and then took a seat himself. We enjoyed our lunch for about a good hour as I noticed a lot of people looked at us, smiled at us and muttered, "Young love" as they saw our hands together. We finished up, got our leftovers to go, and Y/N paid for everything.

"Y/N, you don't have to pay for everything," I said to him. "Let me help you with that."

"No, no, love," He said with a smile and kissed my cheek. "It's okay, it's my treat." After the restaurant, Y/N and I went for a walk together in one of the parks in London by ourselves, just avoiding every bit of drama in our lives right now. It was cold due to the December wind, so Y/N took off his overcoat and placed it on my shoulders, which were bare along with my arms.

Exactly what he did at the Yule Ball...

Huh, what a coincidence.

As Y/N laid his coat on my shoulders, he ran his hand carefully through my hair and pushed some behind my ear while I laid my head on his shoulder. He then put his head on mine and rubbed my shoulder which made me think of something. I took my fingers, placed them at my lips, kissing them and put them on Y/N's lips. He took his hand, put it on mine and rubbed my plan as he kissed it, making me laugh a little.

"Hermione, if you wanted to kiss me, you could have just kissed me," He said softly and turned my chin carefully and kissed me on the lips once more.

"I know," I said. "But I wanted to see what you'd do, babe."

He chuckled a little. "You're right," He said. "But also... your hands are freezing, Love."

I raised my eyes and giggled. "Really?" I asked as he took my hands, which were warmer by comparison as he blew some air onto my hands and rubbed them. "They're like little ice buckets, aren't they?" He just smiled at me, continued to warm my hands and kissed me again. After the park, I decided to take Y/N to a bakery that I knew of and we got some sweets that we fed each other. We spent until 6:00 outside and we returned to Lovegood Manor, where Y/N told me that he had one last surprise for me at 8:00.

So when that time came, Y/N told Harry, Lana and Anne to put a blindfold over my eyes and lead me outside. It was a surprise, so I put it on and Harry and Lana lead me where Y/N was and Anne was making sure we were following the right path. I felt the cold air brush my skin as the blindfold was taken off my head to reveal what Y/N had set-up for me. And it was beautiful.

The garden was blooming with so many beautiful flowers and pretty colors and warm lights all around as Y/N was setting up a record player with a record, but he turned around and saw me. A big smile formed on his face as I smiled back at him.

That smile. The one that always made me blush when we were younger. It not only made me blush now, it made me fall deeper in love with him every time I saw it. Everytime, everyday I see him, it makes me fall for him all over again. And I love that feeling.

"Hey," He said softly. "How do you like it?"

"Like it?" I asked. "Liking's an understatement. I love it. It's so beautiful."

He looked at me in the eyes. "I thought you would," He said as he grabbed a rose and placed it in my hair. "I wanted to do something reminiscent of what the night was like when we got together."

"So, dancing?" I asked.

"You bet," He said. "But this time, not at Hogwarts. In this garden. Not with a Walkman, but with an actual record. Perfect for this moment." He took the record, placed it in its place, and placed the needle on it. "The music by a American, think his name was John Legend? He's getting pretty big there."

(A/N: John Legend was born in 1978, a year before them, so he would be 18 around the time. But here, let's say he started his career early. I just really wanted, "All of Me" to be the record he uses.)

The music started and Y/N walked to me and offered his hand. "May I have this dance, Hermione Granger?"

"Of course you can, Y/N Lovegood," I smiled at him and I took his hand. A piano started in the background as the lyrics came after.

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawin' me in and you kickin' me out

You got my head spinnin', no kiddin,

I can't pin you down

What's goin' on in that beautiful mind?

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me

But I'll be alright

The pre-chorus began as Y/N and I slow-danced together. The admiration in his eyes made me assured me that he loved me just as much as I loved him. The song, this moment, the flowers, everything was perfect.

My head's underwater, but I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me, I give my all to you

You're my end and my beginnin'

Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

One thing's for sure. This boy won my heart. And I'm sure I won his.

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh-oh

How many times do I have to tell you?

Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I'm around

Through every mood

You're my downfall, you're my muse

My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can't stop singing, it's ringing

In my head for you

The song is perfect, it's like it was purely made for the both of us. Y/N turned me around so that he was behind me with our hands still together. I turned my head to his as we kept dancing to the music.

My head's underwater, but I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

Cause all of me loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me, I give my all to you

You're my end and my beginnin'

Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh-oh

Give me all of you, oh

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts

Risking it all, though it's hard

Cause all of me loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me, I give my all to you

You're my end and my beginnin'

Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you

I give you all-ll-ll-ll of me

And you give me all-ll-ll-ll of you, oh-oh

The piano was stopping and Y/N and I were close, face-to-face as the music ended. We both leaned in to each other and kissed each other. It was amazing, and I definitely knew I wanted to marry him in the future. He truly made my heart melt with love.

"I love you," I said to him as I put both of my hands on his cheeks. "I love you so much. This was perfect, everything was perfect!"

"Hermione," He said. "Everyday with you is perfect. And I love you too."

"I'll never stop loving you," I said as I kissed him again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

"And I you," He said and pressed his forehead on mine. "There's just one last thing left for tonight." He led me to an open part of the garden, where a bed of grass, untouched by any flowers was covered with a blanket. Y/N took me onto the blanket and I laid down next to him and took his hand in mine. We were stargazing and the sky was just as beautiful as the moment.

"This was amazing, Y/N," I said. "Everything about today was amazing, the present, the date, the walk, dancing, everything. And stargazing at space together. You really made our anniversary more special than I thought, babe."

"You're welcome, Love," He said to me. "But really, who needs space?"

"Cause I have something magnificent right here."

I smiled with glee, got on him and kissed him as he stood up and kissed back. After a little bit more of stargazing, we both got tired, so Y/N carried me bridal style back to our room. We both got changed and took Snuffles in with us. As I laid down, Y/N hovered above me and kissed me again. "I love you so much."

"I love you more," I said before falling asleep.

Lana POV

After Y/N and Hermione's anniversary, we were invited to the Weasley's for a late Christmas dinner, which made me a little happy and sad at the same time.

I would see Ron after a couple of weeks, but he was with someone else.

We arrived at night a couple days later and we were having dinner with the Weasleys, Fleur, Remus and Tonks. Harry had told Remus that Malfoy made an Unbreakable Vow, which had worried all the adult members of the Order of the Phoenix. Mr. Weasley informed us that he put an agent near the store with the creepy bloke and the object they were looking for was a Vanishing Cabinet, which Death eaters used to appear and disappear from.

As Harry and Ginny were talking together, Y/N, Hermione and I were talking with Remus and Tonks. They were currently in a relationship as well. Tonks, or Dora, (she let us call her that) was pretty fine with dating someone older than her. Through our talks, I noticed the hairs on Remus's hand stood up.

A few hours later, everyone was getting off to bed and so were we, but Remus was on his feet, almost like a paranoid older man than he was. He stood up, looked through the reeds and his pupils contracted.

"Remus?" Mum asked him. "Remus, what's wrong, say --"

Before she could finish, Y/N, Mum and I held our heads in pain as thoughts blasted through like a Sonorus charm on steroids.

'Can't wait to see my dear cousin and my niece.'

Bellatrix Lestrange.

'I'm gonna make Y/N and Lana suffer."

Nathan Roiser.

'Maybe I'll find some nice flesh. I need some fresh blood.'

Fenrir Greyback.

F***ing hell.

The Death Eaters were here.
