Hermione lay in bed her head resting on her husband's chest. She smiled softly at the thoughts of how they came to be like this. The war had just ended and Voldemort had fallen. Hermione stood in a pile of rubble as the tears had started to fall. She couldn't believe it was finally over, that she was finally free to be herself. Someone came up behind her and wrapped her in their arms. "It is finally over" he whispered "We don't have to hide anymore" he continued as she turned around to face him. The bruised and blackened face of her true love starred back at her.

Her husband stirred beneath her drawing her back to the present. Gently she kissed his cheek as she began to sit up. Though despite her best efforts to not wake the sleeping man; he woke anyways.

"Where are you going love?" He asked rolling onto his side to face her. She smiled softly and replied she was just going to the restroom. He nodded pleased with her answer and he rolled back over and drifted back to sleep with a slight snore. Standing slowly as to not lose her balance she headed to the bathroom. Entering the large master bath she shivered slightly as her feet hit the cool tiles. Muttering a silent spell the tiles warmed beneath her. After she went about her business she looked in the mirror though starring back at her was a Witch her former friends would hardly recognize. Her hair was no longer bushy and out of control and it was several shades lighter almost a dirty blonde colour now. Her teeth were perfectly straight, though she had fixed that while she was still in school. Her face carried a little weight, but that was from her most recent pregnancy. Her and her husband were expecting their second child. After the war had ended all the seventh years returned to finish their education and Hermione and her husband were no longer hiding their relationship Hermione found out she was expecting. She had been thrilled to tell all her friends, but the moment she told them the good news everything changed. Hermione stood in the head girls bathroom her mind was racing. She had casted the spell four times and each came back with the same results. She had even taken several muggle tests with the same results. She knew that they had not been very careful with the contraceptive charm, but she didn't expect it to happen while the were still in school. While she stood there unable to fully process what was happening. A soft knock on the door drew her from her thoughts. She barely whispered for who ever it was to come in. Without a second thought in walked the tall blonde hair head boy. "Hermione why have you been held up in here for over ?" He asked. She just looked at him, should she tell him? How will he react? She thought, but for she could figure out what she was going to do he picked up one of the muggle tests that read in bright blue letters PREGNANT. Without a single word Draco fainted. When he finally came to he could hear Hermione softly crying. "Why the tears?" He asked the girl who sat on the floor beside him "You aren't happy with me" she sobbed as she clutched her knees to her chest. Feeling like a complete jerk for his reaction Draco sat up and wrapped her in his arms. " I am thrilled, Hermione. I know my reaction was not the greatest, but it did come as a shock. I could never be mad at you love." He whispered as he placed gentle kisses on her cheeks. Hermione smiled at the memories as she rubbed her swollen belly. A soft cry from the other room startled her. Turning off the bathroom lights she headed to her son's room. When she arrived she found Scorpious sitting in his bed crying softly. "What is wrong my little Dragon?" She asked as she sat next to him wiping away his tears. He just whispered he had a bad dream. Nodding to her son she pulled him into her lap as best she could and rubbed his head. She hummed quietly as Scorpious curled up closer. Slowly her mind drifted off again. Hermione and Draco Sat in their common room all their friends around. Hermione was a bag of nerves as she tried to figure out what to say. It was Harry who spoke first. "What is going on Mione that you and Malfoy called us all here?" He asked growing more agitated being in the same room with all these snakes. Hermione cleared her throat and then barely above a whisper said "I'm pregnant." Everyone looked at her and Ron spoke up. "What was Mione we couldn't hear you?" She tried again but this time not meaning to she blurted out "I'm pregnant!" That time everyone heard her. For several minutes everyone was really quite and no one had moved a muscle. The first person to speak was Blaise. "Well congratulations are in order!

Though we should have seen it coming!" He laughed earning him a small smack on the arm from his girlfriend Daphne. Both Draco and Hermione smiled at their friends reaction though it was short lived as Ron stood up and drew his wand out. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS HERMIONE! " he screamed as he pointed his wand at Draco " It was one thing for you to have your little fling with the Ferret but now you are carry his spawn!" He continued as Harry looked on not saying a word. Blaise stood up and ready to use forceful necessary. It wasn't needed though as Hermione stood up, she appeared taller when she was angry. "Don't you ever dare call my child a spawn again!" She hissed her hands clenching into fists at her side's. "If you can not accept that Draco and I are in love and having a baby that is your own problem and if you want to remain friends you better get over it soon" she growled as Draco rubbed the small of her back. Ron stood there bewildered for a moment, he had not expected Hermione to choose the Ferret over him, but the moment of bewilderment last very briefly as he turned to leave. "Then this is good bye" he said as he walked to the door he continued " I wouldn't want to be friends with a Mudblood whore" he spit with malice as the door shut behind him. Draco shot to his feet about to go after the redhead weasel, but Hermione put her hand on his side, a simple gesture to show him she needed him there. No one said anything for a few moments as they all took in Ron's words. After what felt like ages Harry got up and with a sad look in his eyes he left without saying a word. Hermione opened her eyes and looked down at her sleeping son. With a soft smile she gentle adjusted them so she could lay on the bed with him, and that is how Draco found them in the morning.
