"Alex it is almost ten! The train leaves exactly in an hour. We need to get there fast!" exclaimed 33 year old Hermione Malfoy to her 11 year old son. "Cassie, did you get your trunk packed?" she asked her 11 year old daughter. Alexander Malfoy and Cassiopeia Malfoy were twins. "Relax love! There is still time and we will get there in 10 minutes" said Draco Malfoy reading the daily prophet. "Really Draco? Relax? Is that even possible?" asked Hermione. Draco knew what his wife was thinking about. Today was the first day for them in wizarding London after 15 years. On account of few events, Draco and Hermione have both left wizarding London and had returned back for their children's first year at Hogwarts.
15 years ago…
After the war, Hermione went to Australia to restore her parents' memories. She and Ron were dating and he did not like her going to Australia because he thought it was impossible to find her parents and asked her to let it go. But Hermione insisted that she had to go and left. She came back after two months along with her parents and went to the apartment that she shared with Ron.
"Ron? Ron?" Hermione called entering the apartment. It was two long months since she saw him and she missed him. She owled him twice but did not get a reply from him. She knew that he was angry but she wanted him to understand that her parents were important to her. So finally she was glad that she came back and was eager to meet him. She went upstairs and opened the bedroom door and was shocked. There he was involved in a brief snogging session with a black haired girl whom Hermione recognized to be Astoria greengrass, Draco malfoy's girlfriend." Ronald!" Hermione called. Ron groaned to have been interrupted and looked up to see Hermione staring at him with tears in her eyes.
"Hermione?" he said. "It is not what you think. Let me explain" he said getting up." Oh yea it is not what I think Ronald it is what I see. Have it your way I am leaving" she said and with a wave of her wand all her belongings got packed up and Hermione apparated on the spot leaving a shocked Ron and a confused Astoria behind. Hermione went to her parents' private villa in France and decided to live there away from everything for a while. She also understood that harry and Ginny also knew about this all along and decided to stay away from them as well. She enrolled herself in the French ministry and worked for the department of magical reinforcement.
Meanwhile Draco Malfoy was living a very hard time. He moved out of the Malfoy manor and lived with his girlfriend Astoria greengrass in an apartment. Lately he was suspicious about Astoria's behavior. She would leave home early in the morning and would return back home very late and sometimes would never return at all. Draco didn't want to upset her and so he just decided to wait for her to talk about it.
One fine morning Draco woke up alone as usual and went to the kitchen to make coffee. He found that day's prophet on the table and his jaws dropped on seeing the front page. Astoria greengrass and Ron weasley spotted together. The famous war hero was spotted getting cozy with model and Draco malfoy's girlfriend Astoria greengrass. It is also known that Ron weasley was dating the war heroine Hermione granger. A source revealed that ms. Granger got to know about the issue and left the town. Does know? What is going on between and ? More details will be revealed once we get the chance of interviewing them. And there was a big picture of Astoria and Ron kissing and cuddling in a famous restaurant.
Draco was way beyond shocked. He was working hard to restore back his family name and did not have enough time for Astoria. But he didn't think she would stoop that low and throw herself at the weasel like this. He knew granger wouldn't be able to bear it. He hated her but still he understood her. No one deserved a situation like this. He decided to take a break from everything and went to his private villa in France and decided to work there. He met the French minister and got a job in the department of magical reinforcement.
Draco and Hermione both started work on the same day. Both understood their situations and decided to call it a truce. And that was how it all started.
Present….
The Malfoy family made their way to the platform 9 ¾. Hermione was way beyond nervous. She was going to meet her old friends and ex after a very long time and didn't know what their reaction would be. She missed harry and Ginny and was longing to see them. Draco and Hermione along with their kids Alexander, Cassiopeia and their five year old son Scorpius entered the platform and looked around. Everything was the same- The red scarlet engine, parents yelling at their children. It was the same. Hermione scanned the area to find the potters and there they were with the weasleys of course.
Harry and Ginny were whispering to each other. It was the first year for their oldest son James Sirius. "Do you think she'll be here?" whispered harry to Ginny. "If she ever got married and had children, then yes she would be. But I want her to come because I miss her!" said Ginny. Harry nodded and looked around. He spotted Draco Malfoy with his family. "Look who it is!" said harry. He didn't like Ron's actions either and started developing a good attitude towards Draco especially after what Astoria did to him. "I wonder to whom he got married to" said harry to Ginny. Ron never talked to them like before especially after what he did to Hermione so he always stayed away from them. Suddenly they got a clear image of the Malfoy family and were shocked to see the lady. "Is that?" asked harry. "Hermione?" Ginny finished for him. At the same time Hermione spotter them and smiled at them.
