Suppose
I said
I am on my best behavior
There are times
I lose my
worried mind
Suppose I said
Solors change for no good
reason
Words will go
Wrom poetry to prose
Would you want
me when I'm not myself
Wait it out while I am someone else
Wnd
I
In time
Will come around
I always do
For you
Suppose
I said
You're my saving grace
Would you want me when I'm
not myself
Wait it out while I am someone else
Would you want
me when I'm not myself
Wait it out while I am someone else

"Velius!" Hermione called from the kitchen of their home in London. "Come on, Draco will be home any minute and you need to wash up!"
Hermione was putting the last finishing touches on dinner. She pulled the pork roast out of the oven and set it on the counter. While she mixed some butter into the mash potatoes, she could hear Velius running through the hallway upstairs and then down into the living room. He came sprinting into the kitchen and looked around. Seeing the roast he made to pick a piece of meat off.
"Stop!" she said, pointing at him. "Go wash your hands."
"I already did," he said, before making another attempt.
"Stop! No you didn't! I didn't hear the sink run upstairs. You can't lie to me!" she said, smirking at him.
"Fine!" he said before stomping off to the bathroom.
Hermione started to cut the roast when she heard the front door open.
"Hermione?" she heard Draco's muffled voice call.
"I'm in the kitchen, love," she shouted.
Draco appeared in the doorway and she smiled at him. He came and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Hello, love. This smells great!" he said, looking in the pot of mashed potatoes.
"Thanks, but you might want to wait until you taste it to praise me!" she chuckled.
Velius came running into the room. "Draco!"
"Hey, Velius," Draco said, hugging his little brother. He couldn't believe how big he was getting. It seemed like only yesterday he was the little six year old running around calling Hermione 'Herminniny' because he couldn't say her name.
"Are you going to play chess with me after dinner?" Velius asked.
"Am I going to lose?" Draco replied, skeptically.
"No one is playing chess unless they set the dinner table which someone was supposed to do half an hour ago," Hermione said.
"Uh oh!" Draco said, looking at Velius. "You better do what she says. You know how she gets sometimes," Draco whispered, jokingly to Velius.
"Yeah, and we don't want that," Velius whispered back.
"I'm standing right here!" Hermione laughed. Velius and Draco started to laugh as well.
"Come on. I'll help," Draco said, grabbing three plates out the cabinet.
Velius grabbed the silverware and Hermione put the food into some dishes and then onto the table. The three then sat down to eat.
"High, low?" Draco asked, after everyone had been served.
"Yeah! Me first," Velius proclaimed. Every night at dinner, each person said their high and low for the day. "My high is that my birthday is two weeks exactly from today!"
"Yeah, what do you want?" Hermione asked.
"Well, it is my eleventh birthday and I'll be starting at Hogwarts so, I was thinking an owl?"
"Sounds like a pretty good idea," Draco said, as he winked at Hermione. Velius didn't catch it.
"And what was your low?" Hermione asked him.
"I had a vision and I'm not going to get the owl that I want," he said.
Hermione and Draco laughed.
"Well, maybe we can go to Diagon Alley and you can show me which kind you want before I buy it," Hermione suggested.
"But then it's not a surprise!"
"Well, then I guess you will just have to deal with it," she smirked.
"Okay, my turn!" Draco said. "My high was that we did three random raids today of ex-deatheaters and found nothing. They all checked clear."
"Good," Hermione said. "But I still don't trust any of them."
"I know, but that was part of their release. That they were susceptible to random checks and it's only a few that are out. The most dangerous ones are in Azkaban."
"So we think," Hermione mumbled under her breath.
"Hermione, it's been four years. Count your blessings."
"I guess."
"So what was your low?" Velius asked, obviously bored of the conversation.
"My low was losing at Wizards Chess tonight."
"But we haven't even played yet!" Velius explained.
"I know but I can already tell that I am going to lose and it will be the worst moment of my day!" Draco said, winking at Hermione again. She squeezed his hand and smiled at him.
It was moments like this when Hermione knew that Draco would be an amazing father. She was so lucky to have a husband like that and he loved his brother so much. She knew that they would have the perfect family.
"Hermione?" Draco said. "Your turn."
"My high, hmm? My high was finding out a secret today that I can't tell you!" she exclaimed with a smile on her face.
"Hey!" Draco and Velius yelled out in protest.
"Okay, okay, well maybe I'll tell you later. And my low was that Draco couldn't come home sooner and that Velius, for some reason, would not come down and keep me company while Draco was at work," she said, making a pouting face at Velius.
"Why were you in your room all day?" Draco asked.
"It's a surprise!" Velius said, a huge smile on his face.
"What is it?" Draco asked.
"Something for you and Hermione when I go away to school."
"I see," Draco said.
They finished out their dinner and cleaned the dishes together. Hermione washing, Velius rinsing and Draco drying. After that was finished, they all went to the living toom. Draco and Velius played a game of chess while Hermione sat and read a book.
When the boys had finished their game, Draco took Velius upstairs to get ready for bed. Hermione kissed Velius on the head before going into the kitchen to make herself and Draco some tea.
She looked out the kitchen window at the nice summer evening. There was not a cloud in the sky and the moon and the stars shone brightly. She could tell there was a nice breeze because the tree branches were blowing gently. What an amazing day this has been!
About twenty minutes later, Draco came back down and sat next to Hermione on the couch. She handed him a cup of tea. He put his free arm around Hermione and she sank into his body.
"Alone at last," he said, kissing her forehead.
"Yeah, but you like this whole dad thing, right? I mean I know he's your brother and all, but I view him as a son and you treat him like one."
"I will act like the father that he never had until he becomes an adult. When he is capable to be on his own, then I will treat him completely like my brother," he explained.
"Good. I think that's the best way to go about it. I'm really proud of you." Hermione said. "But you like this whole father thing, right?"
He looked at her skeptically. "Yeah, I like this 'whole father thing.' It's hard sometimes but I like it."
"Good," she said. She took a sip of tea.
"Hermione?"
"Yeah?" she asked, nonchalantly.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing," she said, taking another sip of tea.
"Okay," Draco said, taking a sip of his own.
"Except that I found out I'm pregnant today," she said, staring into her cup.
Draco was mid-sip when she said this and his tea went all over the rug after she said this.
"Are you serious?" he asked, a smile on his face.
"Yeah, I'm about two and half months pregnant," she said smiling back at him.
"This is so awesome, Hermione," he said, taking her face in his hands and kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.
"I'm so glad that you're excited!"
"Why would I not be? We're going to have a baby!"
"I know, but I just thought that you might think Velius and a little baby would be a lot to handle."
"First, Velius will be at school when our child is born and second, I would have never thought that!" he said, still smiling.
"I am so happy!" Hermione said, kissing him again.
"It's official now!" he said as he pulled away.
"What is?" she asked confused.
"That we will be together forever!"
"It wasn't official when we got married?" she asked, confused.
"Well, yeah, but I just always thought that a child was the last step in a relationship."
"Oh, love, you are so mistaken," she said, kissing him deeply.

Miles away the silver waves, reflecting the moonlight, crashed against the stone barriers of Azkaban. No one noticed the man jump over the wall and into the freezing water below.
He had been swimming a good five minutes before he heard shouts coming from the prison. Even though his limbs were numb he forced himself to keep swimming.
He came upon land and crawled ashore. He rested a minute before rising to his feet.
"Now where is my son?" Calais Windmere said as he started to walk toward what lights he could see in the distance.
