This started as a one shot but I found out that it turned out A LOT longer than I first anticipated so I decided to turn it into a three or four part mini story. I know I have changed a few aspects of the original story-line but I wanted it to fit so I've altered points of the timeline, but then again I guess that's the point of this site so ill be quiet now. Thank you to the people who are reading this and commenting, sorry for the gaps between the updating are so long. Anywho thank you again and I'd love to know what you think, much love :)

Bold- Flashbacks

normal- Present time

Defiantly a Malfoy!

Part one: Meet the family and First year.

"Please?" Scorpius begged.

"Well I don't know if your mother would approve." Draco Malfoy looked down at his eldest son. Scorpius' blond hair falling just into his eyes curling out at the edges flicking thanks to the diluted gene of his mothers curls. His russet eyes, they looked kinder than Draco's once did due to Scorpius growing up in a happy home. Strong jaw and cheek bones tinged with a slight rosy pink complexion. Lean body which Draco wondered how he maintained considering he wasn't that fussed about playing Quidditch (a young witch or wizards only hope of keeping fit) he would join in with his father when he got bored but he never really played by choice. Scorpius liked to sit out by the lake against the old oak tree, Draco himself used to sit by, and practice little spells and charms. His wife always laughed that young Scorpius was a perfect mix of herself and Draco. Scorpius had his father's appearance, but his mother's eyes and his father's personality. Scorpius however had His mother's temperament and attitude towards school and life in general with Draco's feisty kick.

Draco's second son, Dylan, was a carbon copy of his mother, only male of course. He had curly brown locks that fell just beyond his ears, deep chocolate eyes. And of course he ALWAYS had his nose buried in a book. In fact he did right now. The three of them (Draco, Scorpius and Dylan) were sitting in the library. Draco and Scorpius on opposite sides of an old leather sofa, Scorpius was cross legged against the sofa's arm, Draco sat with his arm across the back. Dylan was, as always, sat cross legged on the floor with a thick book spread open in his lap. The book was one of his mother's favourite: Potions making for the advanced. Dylan's hair was falling into his eyes as he was reading.

"What do you think Dylan? Do you want to hear about it?" Draco asked his thirteen year old son.

"Hmmm... what, oh sorry, what were you asking?" Dylan enquired.

"Oh is little Dylan lost in his dear little book again? Not listening again?" Scorpius got up and crouched in front of his little brother ruffling his hair. Dylan slapped his hand away.

"No... I just wasn't concentrating on you two. What did you say dad?" Dylan looked up to his father. Draco laughed.

"I said do you want to hear the story about how-" He was cut off by his youngest child, his daughter Aurora, as she sprinted into the room and jumped up and down in front of her father.

"Can we go out now daddy?" Please I'm older now!" She cried.

"Aurora! Calm down! I told you yesterday you're not old enough yet if yo-" He was cut off again by his daughter, you had to get used to that when you live in a house full of Malfoys.

"But I AM older!" She insisted.

"Honey, I meant in a year or two older, dear your only 4!" Dylan and Scorpius were now wrestling on the floor, Scorpius was attempting to pull the book from Dylan and the occasional shout could be heard from both of them.

'Watch the spine!', 'we need to start separating you from your precious books', 'no...Wait it's one of mums oldest!', 'you'll never get anywhere if you spend your time holed up in a library.', 'Watch it! Don't crease the pages!' and when they finally pulled each other off Scorpius knocked the book out of Dylan's hands.

"Oh really Scorp that's so mature." Dylan snorted; Scorpius gave his brother one last push before getting up and sitting back on the sofa near his dad.

"But dadddddddy!" Aurora pleaded.

"Aurora; I know you want to fly and ride a broom, but it's not safe for you yet you can't control you magic enough. But someday you will honey." Draco placed a kiss on his daughter's forehead. They were so alike. Her and Draco. She was so smart but only studied when she had to unlike Dylan. She begged her parents everyday if she could go out and fly just as Draco had done when he first saw Quidditch. Aurora had Draco's blond hair, straight and thick. It appeared that if you had not seen Draco with his own eyes you would have thought that Aurora actually had Draco's eyes, they were so similar. Everyone always said that Draco and his wife had the best of both worlds, there was a mini-me of both Draco and his wife and then they had a mix of the two.

"But Dylan doesn't even want to fly! All he wants to do is read! He's just like mum." She cried.

"There is nothing wrong with being like you mother Look where it got her; she married the best looking guy in the world!" Draco grinned.

"I heard that Malfoy!" He heard the faint call of his beautiful wife. Draco laughed harder.

"Exactly! So back to my original point dad! You got the girl and now I need to know how!" Scorpius cried.

"Fine I'll tell you." Draco sighed. He pulled Aurora onto his lap; Scorpius scotched down in his seat ad Dylan clutched his book into his chest.

"What are you telling them?" Draco looked up upon hearing the voice of his wife and watched her walk over. He watched as she slowly walked over. Her hair was in a bun at the base of her neck. Her hips swayed as she approached them.

"We are telling them the story about how you chased after me for years and begged me for a date." Draco smirked cheekily. The women stopped in her path. Placing her hands on her hips.

"Oh really and that would be a fictional book Dylan has there? That you will read such a story from, because otherwise I cannot think how you would come up with such a story." She said. Draco stood and stalked towards her.

"Oh well you see, love, Scorp was begging us to tell them the story about how we met and I thought I would." He stood in front of her placing his hands on her hips before slowly trailing the around her back and pulling her against his body.

"Well then I believe we should tell them the truth about how YOU followed me around for years, making me meet you, asking for my help, making me jealous and begging me to become you girlfriend." She smirked, winding her arms around his neck.

"Well...yes." He said before whispering, "Can't we tell them my version I don't want to sound wussy to the boys." Draco pleaded. His wife slowly shook her head.

"We have to teach the boys that women are strong and should be respected just as much as men." She smiled widely. "You want your sons to grow up and be respectful to women don't you Draco." She said trailing her lips over his jaw. He would have agreed to anything.

"Not to interrupt but I want some help over here!" Scorpius coughed. Draco smiled at his wife and pulled her over to the sofa. Starting to tell the tale about how he managed to get the great, smart and beautiful Hermione Granger to become his girlfriend and eventually his wife. He smiled at the thought.

+Flashback+

Hermione blow the hair out of her eyes. She was walking up and down the train trying to find a toad a young brown haired boy had lost his toad. She walked past carriage after carriage, watching friends laugh and play games. She looked into the next compartment and saw a boy sat in the far corner, hunched up against the glass. She drew open the sliding door and stepped in. The boy slowly raised his head. Blond hair sleeked back off his face and beautiful grey eyes glistening with tears, tears also staining his checks.

"Whatever is the matter? Why are you crying?" She asked sitting next to him. He rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.

"Malfoys don't cry!" He insisted puffing out his chest.

"Well it's a good job you're not around any other Malfoys then, because whatever Malfoy told you that was lying. It's preposterous to think that someone won't cry." She smiled. He slowly let out a smile before he sniffed again.

"Do you need a hug?" Hermione asked innocently.

"Malfoys don't hug." He said sternly.

"I can repeat my statement again if you want." She gingerly opened her arms. He hesitated before slowly letting the small girl embrace him. The hugged until the train jolted to a stop. They slowly uncurled

"Why do you sound so smart?" He asked.

"Because I am I guess." Hermione smiled.

"Thank you..." Draco started.

"Hermione. Hermione Granger." She beamed.

"Thank you Hermione."

"You're welcome..."

"Draco. Draco Malfoy."

Draco Malfoy stood and watched as Hermione Granger was sorted into the Gryffindor house. He knew that his father wouldn't allow their friendship now. He had secretly hoped that she would be in Slytherin or at least Ravenclaw. He was placed in Slytherin. They couldn't mix. Not a Gryffindor and a Slytherin. There was something about her and he knew he wasn't finished with her.

+End Flashback+

Scorpius burst out laughing, tear soon falling uncontrollably from his eyes.

"So...when you first met mu...you...you we-were crying?" He burst out between laughing.

"Oh shhhh Scorp! It's sweet! All his defences were down I could see the true him!" Hermione said kissing Draco's temple. Draco puffed out his chest.

"Mum was like his knight in shining armour!" Scorpius was clutching his sides in pain.

"Scorp!" Dylan and Hermione yelled.

"Hermione I told you they would laugh at me!" Draco cried. He crossed his arms over his chest.

"Scorp! Leave him alone! Dad was upset. I think it's charming that Dad let mu look after him, I hope be able to allow a girl to look after me." Dylan smiled, he was quite a hopeless romantic.

"Yeah stuff that Scorp!" Draco stuck his tongue out at Scorpius. Scorpius stopped laughing and stared at his dad, before they both burst into fits of laughs. Once they stopped Aurora asked her father why he was upset, she looked at him with calculating eyes. Hermione gave him a worried look, neither of them wanted to explain to their four year old daughter why she never saw her grandparents. The idea of explain about the war and Lucius' role in it all let alone Draco's. She wasn't ready to hear it yet.

"Well my father had told me some troubling things that I didn't really understand and upset me. I was told that I was only allowed to be friends with people of a certain what he called 'birthright'. I was restricted to a certain friend group and I didn't understand. The friends I was allowed were trusted children of my father's...business partners. I didn't agree with my father's view. The only friend I really did have was your uncle Blaise." Draco explained.

"Tell them the rest." Hermione said with a knowing look on her face, She was partially trying to lighten the mood. Draco shot her a look before reluctantly telling his children.

"Fine. I missed my mother." He added more when he saw Scorpius was threatening to burst into laughs. "She was the only one who allowed to be who I wanted and to actually be a child. She didn't agree with my father anymore but told me that I had to obey him to avoid any incidents." He saw the faces of his children and hurried on with the story. "In the next part I get to be the knight in shining armour!" Draco cried with joy.

+Flashback+

Draco sat surrounded by his 'friends'. They were really just people his father made his associate with because they were 'pure' and 'worthy' of their magic. It was rubbish, all of it. If someone had been given magic then they deserved it. He was reading the letter that his mother had sent him telling him that Hermione Granger was in fact a muggle-born or as his father so delicately put it a 'mudblood'. His mother had warned him that if he wished to be friends with the girl he should be careful. He tore up the letter in frustration. Why was this happening. All he wanted was to be a normal person who could spend time with real friends and family without having to worry about the consequences. He looked up to see Hermione push past her friends Potter and Weasley. Tears filling her eyes, starting to fall. Blaise Zabini, Draco's only friend and the only person he had told (bar his mother) about his meeting with Hermione Granger, saw him staring after her. Blaise put his hand on Draco's shoulder.

"You can go mate, I'll cover you." Blaise nodded and Draco ran after her hurling a thank you over his shoulder. As he ran over he could hear Blaise spewing off excuses for Draco's absence.

Hermione sat on the floor of the girls bathroom, crying into her sleeve. She knew she was being stupid but she just wanted to prove that she was worthy of her gift to practice magic. So she tries to show off in her charms class only for Ron to make fun of her behind her back. She heard footsteps pounding down the corridor and the door bang open. She hurriedly wiped her eyes and faced away from the door.

"Hermione?" Draco asked seeing her back turned towards him. She whipped around to see him standing by the row of sinks. She slid down the wall and onto the floor again. He cautiously walked to her but when er saw she was crying he ran to sit next to her. He put his arm around her and returned the favour she gave him on the train.

"I've read about your family in pureblood history books. You shouldn't be near me." She sniffed.

"I don't believe in that stuff, I may be young but I have my own views." He said defiantly.

"But you father does. He will hurt you Draco."

"I'm not going to ask how you would know that but he doesn't have to find out."

"Draco you can't hide this from him." Hermione tried to be the voice of reason.

"You were the first person apart from Blaise and my mother to ever be nice to me and you didn't even know me!" He smiled.

"I don't want to get in trouble." She said. she wanted to be friends with Draco but she didn't want him to suffer.

"I won't." Hermione thought about his answer for a minute.

"Ok." Hermione said quietly.

"Thank you!" Draco pulled her into a hug. "I have to go now, are you ok?" He checked.

"Yeah I'll be out soon." Draco nodded and went to walk out the bathroom.

" Draco." Hermione called after him and he stopped at the door. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Hermione." They both smiled before Draco walked out of the door.

+End Flashback+

"I was a child and I didn't understand what my father's view and the only reason I wanted to keep Hermione a secret was because I knew that the way my father would hurt me the hardest would be to hurt Hermione, and that would hurt me more." Draco explained.

"Because it would hurt you more to see mum hurt because of you?" Dylan asked.

"Preciously." Draco smiled. Proud that his son understood how he felt.

"So what happened next?" Scorpius enquired.

"Well you mother went and did something foolish and got herself in some trouble with her friends ending up in the Hospital Wing. So when I heard she was there I went to go and see her.

+Flashback+

Draco crept out of the Slytherin dorms and headed for the hospital wing. He had heard that Hermione had snuck out to help Harry and Ron only to end up in the Hospital Wing. He was furious. He had spoken to her a lot over the year and he felt compelled to protect her as she had become his best friend along with Blaise. He felt that he might lose this new friendship. Draco got to the large wooden doors of the infirmary, he pushed them open to see Ron and Harry lying closet to the door and at the very back of the wing he saw Hermione lying there. He ran over to the back and knelt beside her, her eyes slowly flicked open.

"Draco what are you doing here. You could get caught!" She whispered harshly.

"I just wanted to make sure that you are ok. Nobody know what happened to you!"

"I fine, I just have a few scrapes, but you have to go! Madame Pomfrey is coming back with some more sleeping draft for me. Go, I don't want you to get in trouble, you're out of bed out of hours!" She grabbed his hands.

"I'll be fine, I just want you to know that you'll be alright!" He asked furrowing his eyebrows. They heard a door shut and some shuffling.

"Draco I am so happy that you came to see me and am worried about me-"

"Very worried!" He corrected.

"Very worried about me but you have to go, I will come and find you tomorrow so we can talk. ok?" She squeezed his hand as her nodded. Draco kissed her check as she lay back. Hermione smiled as he left barley noticing the form slip out a few seconds after him.

+End Flashback+

"So what happened? Who was it?" Scorpius asked, he was getting more and more into the story as he went on. Dylan was getting lost in the idea of a secret friendship, he was so much like his mother it was scary. Aurora was bouncing on her father's lap.

"Well it was a girl who wanted to be very close to your father in hope of marrying him and getting all his money. She was jealous of me and thought Draco was too close to me, so she decides to tell Draco's father that he was mixing with what he thought was the wrong king of people. So when Draco got home his father took it into his own hand to punish him. Draco was told that id he was to speak to me again, bad things would happen to me." Hermione explained and all of her children gasped. Aurora stopped bouncing in Draco's lap.

"Is that why we aren't allowed to see Daddy's dad? Because he's bad?"

"Yes, he is a very bad man who shouldn't be allowed to see you guys." Draco said sternly. He didn't like the topic do his father, Lucius had ruined Draco's life several times. Hermione could tell Draco was getting nervous about Aurora hearing the rest if the story. She was only four, she didn't need to hear about Draco's father's action.

"Right missy, you need to go off to bed now, it's far past your bedtime." Hermione said raising her hands towards her daughter.

"But I want to hear the story."

"I know sweetie but its time you went to bed." Hermione said picking up her daughter, resting Aurora on her hip. Hermione knew that tomorrow Aurora would have completely forgotten about the story and would be onto something completely different. Aurora rested her head on Hermione's shoulder as Scorpius, Dylan and her father all kissed her forehead or cheek. She waved at them over Hermione's shoulder as she was carried out of the library.

"So Dad what did he threaten to do to Mum?" Scorpius looked at his father a stern look on his face.

"Well he beat me and threatened to kill Hermione." Draco shivered thinking about that horrible holiday. Hermione walked back into the room and sat against Draco, he wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders. Hermione hadn't taken long as Aurora had basically been in her pyjamas all day as it was Sunday and her brothers were out of school for the holidays.

"Thanks love, I know the boys could understand but it wasn't right for her." Draco shook his head. Hermione kissed his temple.

"I know one day we will tell her but she won't understand."

"Right now boys I am not proud of what I did but I genuinely thought I would be helping your mum." Draco said his voice full of sincerity. The boys looked at him quizzically. Hermione squeezed his thigh nodding to him; reassuring him. " When we got back to school I called your mother a Mudblood." Both boys gasped. Draco had made it very clear to them what said word meant and that it should never been uttered by either of them.

"Why?" They both inquired. Hermione saw her husband getting emotional again and stepped in.

"Your father thought it was the only way to get me to dislike and stay away from him. It worked for most of the year. I felt hurt and I couldn't understand why he had suddenly changed. But I guess that he broke when he heard that I was in the Hospital Wing yet again." Hermione laughed before starting to tell the boys about her first encounter with Draco after nearly a year...

I wasn't sure how to stop this but it is going to be continued anyway so I thought i would stop it there. Thank you for reading this and please let me know what you think, much love :)
