Draco POV 
"Caught you", as I brought Hermione back on her feet. 
"Thank you... Again", Hermione laughed. I like her laugh...
"So we should go now... We're getting our rooms..."
"Oh yeah", she looked embarrassed. "You, 're my-"
"Future husband", I finished for her, grinning, and saw her grin shyly, staring at the ground. I stared at the ground, astounded at what I had said, but still grinning, I held Hermione's hand tightly. If anybody saw us right now ( which probably many people did, because the hall was full ), it'd look quite romantically weird that two very shy people were just about to get a room. 
Hermione turned red, as I turned my head sideway, looking down. I'm so happy today.
...
It was evening and the two of us just opened our door. Two single beds, a bathroom, a desk, an armchair, and a clock hung over the wall. There was a sign in the hallway, showing a spell to join the beds.  
"Not bad", I said, in a matter-of-fact way.
I saw Hermione nodding her head. "I think we should bring our supplies here".
"You're right". So far so good. Both of us went to our common rooms and brought our bags, stored all the clothes in the cupboard, and sat down on our own beds, with a sense of tiredness but achievement. 
I looked over at Hermione, who was staring at the ground again, still sitting on her bed. I decided I would- 
Hermione POV 
My friends still don't know who my partner is... Well, they'll know in no time, because of, ugh, Ron. As I was thinking this, I didn't notice Draco standing up and sitting next to me on my bed. 
"What's up?", he asked softly. 
I shrugged and said, "I don't know...My friends don't know about you yet, being my...Soulmate". 
Draco sniggered. "Potty and Weaselbee, you mean? Ah, don't you worry! We'll go together to them, and they'll know". I rolled my eyes. Typical Draco. 
I turned to him and said, uncertainly, "I didn't expect you to... be my soulmate, Malfoy". Draco smirked and said, "Neither did I". 
"You always bullied my friends", I said, biting my lip. Draco bit his lip too, but not for long. He was smirking again, as usual. 
"Uh. I think there's something you should know if I'm about to become your... Wife".
Draco noticed that I looked slightly uncomfortable. 
He held my hand, tight, looking into my eyes. "It's alright, you can tell me", he replied, gently. 
I bit my lip and sighed, "Uh, you know... Ron" Draco nodded, smirking, "Well... He has feelings for me... He told me yesterday". I bit my lip even harder. Draco looked outraged. "I thought I'd tell you this since I'm about to become your wife, so you would know", I finished and stared at the ground, scarlet. 
"That idiot Weasel!", Draco murmured angrily under his breath. He stood up. I quickly stood up as well. Draco turned to look at me, he held both of my hands and said, firmly, "Don't worry. You're mine, and I'll always protect you from harm, including Weaselbee. He'll not reach an inch close to you".
I bit my lip and gave him a great smile. "Thank you... Draco", I whispered. Draco's firm face became soft and he stroked my red cheek, smiling.

"I'm going for Quidditch practice, care to join me?", I asked Hermione. Hermione nodded. "Alright then, get ready in 10 minutes, I'm leaving then". Hermione nodded again and smiled. Hermione got some clothes from the cupboard and went into the bathroom. I smiled with a sigh.
