YAYZ I LOVE THIS CHAPTER SOOOO MUCH! Kay.. I'm over reacting. But still!

Chapter Forty-Two: Of chocolate and rose petals. The sense of smell

I awoke, to pure white, cotton by the look of the material, blowing around my face with a sweet aroma of chocolate sweeping through out the air. It felt so good, so right, to be alive. To be away from the constant nightmares, the never ending cycle of worst memories. I suppressed a shudder thinking of them. They were worse then anything I had felt before. My eyelids fluttered for a few seconds before closing completely. I suddenly heard a shout of joy and footsteps rapidly approaching my bed. Only then did I notice something happened.

“ Hermione! Your alive.” Red hair was thrown in my face as someone pulled me into a bone-crushing hug, she smelled of crushed rose petals. Ginny.” I was so scared that-That you were actually dead. Oh, it's such a relief to see you alive.” I couldn't help but smile, as I guessed I was at St Mungos.” When I heard you were admitted to the hospital I freaked, god I was scared.” Suddenly I thought of Regulus and Nymphradora. I sat bolt upright, worry clearly creeping on to my face.

“ What about.. About the twins, are they alright?” My eyes were big and round with fear. Ginny's melodious laugh filled the room. As she reassured me that Pansy had been taking good care of them. For one of the first times in my life I was happy to know Pansy Parkinson. She had changed a lot from that day before Harry, Ginny and I went hunting for Voldemort's horcruxes.” How long have I been out and what happened?” I noticed Harry and Ginny exchange glances of slight worry as the healer started to check my current health.

“ Well you see. You were grazed with the killing curse.” Here I rolled my eyes, much to Harry's annoyance.” Mione, you could have died! If the stupid idiot who did it, didn't think Draco was still evil you would have died! This isn't something to joke about.” My laughter died in my throat. Draco, saved, me? Well, not that he wouldn't, it was just. Weird.” That seemed to get your attention, Draco's out there waiting. I believe you owe him a apology.. And a thank you.” I glared at Harry as I pushed myself out of the bed and walked towards the other room, biting my lip hard as I did so.

“ Hiya.” I smiled nervously at Draco who whipped around to face me. His face relaxed for a millisecond then returned to being serious.” Dray.. I'm. I'm really sorry for, everything.” I couldn't meet his eyes. I felt really guilty surprisingly, probably because of everything I went through. Next thing I knew his arms were wrapped around me. And was smiling brightly at me.” Do you want to meet Regulus and Nymphradora?” I asked after a few moments of silence. He nodded.

“ But first I have to do something..” I was confused as Draco let go of me. He started to kneel to the ground and my confusion disappeared.” Will you, Hermione Jean, marry me?” I nodded, breathless, then leaned over to kiss him. It was a kiss full of love and passion.” So now, don't go kiss some other quidditch star will you?” Draco teased, I hit him lightly, but laughed all the same.” Kay, let's go see our kids.” I followed him, only just then realizing what he meant, they were always my kids. No, our children.
