Hermione did not like being greeted in the morning with this invitation. She groaned and rested her head on the table.
"Mummy, are you okay?" peeped a small voice from under the table. She looked down to see her two and a half-year-old son. She moved back and lifted him up and into her lap.
"Yes, I just got a bit of news. How about we wake up your daddy. I don't think we should let him sleep in any longer."
Scorpius nodded excitedly at the plot and raced along with his mother to find a sleeping lump in bed. He leaped onto the bed and moved to attack his sleeping father. A groan was heard as hands popped up to pull the cover over his head. Hermione laughed and joined the two boys on the bed and proceeded to help her son unveil her husband. There was a laugh and a struggle from underneath the covers as a blond head popped out with a smile. Draco Malfoy snatched his son and pulled him underneath.
Hermione sighed with content. After returning to Hogwarts for her final year, she grew close to Draco Malfoy. He was for the first time without the influences he grew up with and was finally able to be his own person. One of the first things he did that year was to apologize and made it his mission to make everything up to her. During his quest, he got to know her better and couldn't get enough of her. A quarter through the year he asked Hermione out and they married a year after graduation. Now it was three years after marriage, they couldn't be any happier.
She focused back on the movement when finally two bodies came up for air. Draco collapsed back onto the pillows, and Scorpius copied his father. Draco sat up only to pull Hermione on top of him. She nuzzled her face into his neck, and Scorpius rolled on top. She couldn't trade this for anything.

Once Scorpius was off to his grandparents, Hermione showed Draco the invitation. He wrapped an arm around her. She told him about her snobbish cousins and pretentious aunts and uncles when they first started dating. When he looked over it again, he lightly chuckled.
"Of course they somehow choose the hotel that is named after you." He glanced at her. "Maybe it is fate."
"Or maybe it is a way to showcase their money by affording a stay at one of your hotels."
One of the ways the Malfoys tried to reintroduce themselves in a brighter light was opening up a line of hotels in the muggle world. Of course, there were still some magical connections like the staff, but also an opportunity for a bridge between the magical world and muggle. It was mainly Draco's idea with Hermione to add onto. The Golden Medusa was named after Hermione's famous untameable hair.
Draco pulled Hermione into a hug, resting his chin on the top of her hair. "I cannot make it until Saturday night," he admitted softly.
"I know," she replied, "which is my excuse to not go."
He pulled away from her but still held her at arm's length. "You are going to this thing," he commanded. "You will march in there and show them what they have overlooked with you obnoxious Gryffindor bravery with a side of Slytherin." He winked at the last part. He has been rubbing off on her. Gone with the girl who aimed to please and in with the confidence that she does not need to please after all of the work she has done. Not to mention, the money has made a couple of things easier.
She stepped back and nodded. "You're right. I need to show them that they cannot push me around any longer and that I have an amazing husband and a precious son."
"Damn right you do, and you know that I love it when you say I'm right."
"What will get to them? Got it. Ok, now help me pick out what I am going to wear."
Draco hurriedly followed his wife to the bedroom, though not for the reason she expects him to. After all, Scorpius is not home. Might as well take advantage of it.
