Warnings: Is fluffiness a warning?
Hermione rolled her eyes. “That’s the fifth Chocolate Frog you’ve eaten in as many minutes, Draco.”
He grinned mischievously. “It’s taken that many to find the card I wanted.”
“I’d think you'd own the whole collection by now.”
He shrugged. “I was missing the most important one.”
“Is it Salazar Slytherin? I hear his card is extremely rare and only a former Slytherin could obtain it.”
“I found him several months ago. This one is much more significant.”
Hermione arched her brow. “These cards are not important.”
He smiled lovingly. “This one is.”
Seeing her own card, Hermione blushed profusely.

Ribbit.
There. The corner. He knew he hadn't been imagining it.
After Potions, he saw another.
After Transfiguration, another.
After dinner, he headed for bed.
Ribbit.
He followed the frog.
It jumped away.
He reached for it again.
It jumped away.
He chased it. It led him to the door of an abandoned classroom. He pushed the door open and saw her.
She smiled and leaned onto her elbows against the professor's desk. Her naked, freckled skin peeked through the witch's robe that hung on her shoulders.
"I knew they were your favorite."
Draco grinned, locking the door behind him.

It was disgusting, the way she ate.
It was so plebeian, so common.
Didn’t she care that there was chocolate on her lower lip? If she’d just swipe her little pink tongue, no one would know she’d been messily carnivoring for the entirety of the Prefects’ meeting. Except him.
Draco glared at her, but she didn’t notice. She paused mid-bite, the frog squirming with false hope, to answer someone about some regulation or other.
Hermione daintily nibbled on the frog’s leg, and Draco licked his lips, almost expecting to taste chocolate there.
Finally looking away, Draco missed her triumphant smirk.

Hermione hated the Day of Commemoration of the National Heroes of the Second Great War. A national holiday wouldn’t bring him back. She started when Harry and Ron entered through her floo. Ron placed his bundle in the blue and white crib in the next room.
When Ron returned Harry handed Hermione a simply wrapped box.
Hermione tore though the paper. She looked at them questioningly. “A chocolate frog?” Tears began to flow as she read the DCHWHSGW Special Edition Famous Wizard card:
Draco Malfoy (1980-1998)
Famous hero of the Second Great War who died protecting the woman he loved.

“Unbelievable,” Hermione cursed, slamming the door.
“Whatever I did now, I promise we’re going to have great makeup-sex,” Draco commented.
“I’m not mad at you,” Hermione screeched. “Look at this.” She handed him a small card.
“Harmony J. Granger. Order of Merlin First Class, war heroine.” Draco read. “Suddenly I don’t feel so bad about being on the loosing side of the war. At least I don’t have to worry about how they spell my name on the Chocolate Frog Cards.”
“And they don’t even mention me trying to free the house-elves.”
“How terrible. You should definitely sue them, Harmony.”

Rating: PG-13 for very mild language
Warnings: None really. :)
Draco Malfoy was in a snit.
Really, he could have had any of the drunken women at the graduation ball, but no, he actually had to get stuck with her.
“Get your arse off my lap, Granger,” he murmured, but she did not budge. Fluttering her lashes up at him, she gave Draco a dreamy smile.
“Want some chocolate frogs?” she asked. Before Draco could answer, however, she was already pulling his head down to meet hers in a kiss that tasted like the candy she had offered him.
Oh yes, it seemed he would be overindulging with sweets tonight.

Warnings:
Draco Malfoy stared down at her sleeping form; she looked so peaceful in sleep, so untroubled. A stray curl fell over her closed eyes, Draco knelt down next to the couch where she slept and tucked the curl behind her ear, he was close now so close he could feel her sweet breath tickle his face. And then his lips were against her’s just lightly before he pulled away.
Hermione’s eyes fluttered open, and she sat up just in time to see Draco’s bedroom door softly shut. She blinked a few times as her fingers slowly traced her tingling lips.

Title: A Leap of Faith
Rating: G
Warnings: None
I looked at the unopened Chocolate Frog sitting on my desk. I thought of him. I saw his pained, remorseful expression.
Nothing’s wrong with thinking about your enemy, especially when you don’t why you were fighting in the first place. And it’s certainly fine to think about him in more than a school-mate kind of way.
When you think about it, a relationship is just like a Chocolate Frog: one good jump is all it takes, and it’s all sweetness from there, well, maybe a little bitterness.
You just have to take a leap of faith.
A leap of faith.

“Draco, can you come over here please?”
Draco sighed wearily, wondering what she wanted this time.
Damn those pregnancy hormones. He was getting tired of the mood swings and the late-night demands for Chinese takeout…from China.
He joined his wife on the sofa, which was currently littered with candy wrappers and an empty pickle jar.
“Pickles and Chocolate Frogs?” Draco teased. “That’s a strange combination.”
“You know I can’t control my body’s cravings these days,” said Hermione. “Speaking of….” She smiled seductively and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
Maybe those pregnancy hormones weren’t such a bad thing after all….

Some people, he thought, were like Chocolate Frogs. They had just one bounce in them, and once their surprise card had been revealed, it was all over. They settled into a mundane life on a dusty shelf somewhere, content to live their existence in obscurity. Like Longbottom.
Other people were like Pepper Imps, full of snap and fight. They strove forward with ambition, brimming with ideas and ingenuity; determined to knock down walls with sheer will. They were never mundane, never settled. Their lives were exciting; filled with possibilities. Like Granger.

Draco looked at his wife, amused. She reached the table and began to unwrap another chocolate frog. The hundredth one, judging from the growing mountain of empty frog packaging piled on top of their table. The candies were originally bought to be given to the children trick or treating in the neighborhood, but seeing Hermione’s appetite, there would be none left for them.
“I never thought you liked chocolate frogs.”
“Oh, I don’t. But he does.” Hermione said as she rubbed her belly.
She looked at Draco’s shocked face. Who thought that telling him she’s pregnant would be this fun?

Title: Secret Rebellion
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Growing up, Draco was utterly spoiled; he wore the finest clothes, had more toys than anyone else and only ate sweets made by the finest candy makers. His parents taught him to look down at the common, which unfortunately for them, only made his curiosity grow.
Eating cheap chocolate frogs became his first, secret, rebellion against his parents and he loved every bite.
Seeing Granger became his fourteenth.
But she was far from common and he found himself falling hard. So hard, that regardless of the consequences it would bring, he no longer wanted to keep their relationship a secret.

‘Merlin, not again!’ whined Draco before tossing yet another picture of... Agrippa over his shoulder.
He sat there for a while, surrounded by heaps and heaps of opened chocolate frogs. Not even having a bloody house elf to clean up the mess, he groggily stood up and flicked his wand. The chaos was immediately replaced by several neat piles of brand new boxes, each bore the same golden letters:
‘Special treat upon new wizard card release! A chance to win a private meeting with Professor Hermione Jean Malfoy!’
Draco groaned. If only she hadn’t decided to stay mad at him.

It was the frog that tipped her off.
It had been the same the two previous times. After she lifted her head out of the toilet, Hermione only cast the charm to be sure of her self diagnosis.
She was pregnant.
Those damn chocolate frogs; her favourite at any other time, were her enemy during gestation. One bite had her running to the loo, heaving it and anything else in her stomach into the toilet.
Leaning against the wall, she groaned. Draco would be thrilled to add to their family of four.
Hermione only hoped for a boy this time.

The Chocolate Frog bounced from the boy’s hands and into his mother’s hair. The boy squealed which was enough to make his father look up from his place behind the desk.
“Love, it’s in your hair,” he said with a smirk.
Hermione removed the frog, and inspected it, before handing it back to the child.
She glared at Draco. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. Just that you’re hair is so thick you couldn’t tell,” he went back to his work.
“Your Daddy is in trouble for laughing at Mummy,” she said to the little boy, who smiled at her in response.

A crying Hermione Granger sat in Myrtle´s bathroom. About three hours ago, Ron had had the courtesy of breaking up over dinner; a spectacle, at least for the Slytherins.
Something fell onto her lap, startling her out of her thoughts. A chocolate frog. She looked up and saw Draco Malfoy standing in the doorway, wearing a expressionless mask on his face. Was he making a silent peace offering?
She picked it up and threw another glance at the door. He was gone.
She never knew how long he had been watching her, or who had confounded Ron just before dinner.

"Malfoy, this is ridiculous. I'm not a buffet."
"Hush." Draco blew on the frog's tail. It jumped from Hermione's knee to her hip, leaving small chocolate footprints on her skin. Draco blew again. The frog leapt to Hermione's ribcage, shoulder, navel. It hopped all over, painting her with three-toed markings that shrank as the frog melted from her body heat.
"Malfoy, that tickles, and you're getting me all sticky." Hermione jerked her hair away from the frog.
"Trust me." Draco licked chocolate off her hip, grinning as she shivered. "There. Still sticky?"
"Mmm. Yes." She purred and stretched. "Keep going."
