May 12 2005

Hermione granger got married. She became a wife and she became a mum. She has two lovely daughters , both age 4 Lovely but really pranksters, they got that from their father ofcourse. Although their father was grown up man now, his days of fun were long gone. He was a serious and determined person who only hid behind a mask which he kept always with her.

JANUARY 1 2000

After the war Hermione went to healing school , it was a dream of hers since her days of childhood because her parents in a way were healers themselves, that inspiration was sowed in her before even hogwarts. And everybody were surprised.

Everybody expected her to do something much more than that. They expected her to go Auror training with Harry and Ron , they expected her to continue saving the world, they expected her to be this role model which a girl was always hope to become. But most of all everyone expected her to marry Ron Weasley.

And she did none of those things.

She knew what people expected of her, and she knew it was known and genuine expectations, she didn't had any problems of making come true. But she wanted to be different, make her mark bright and bold, she wanted to live a life followed by her own choice , so she turned down the auror training, went to healing school , became a healer , she did consider about becoming a role model for girls but all went down to the drain when she broke it off with Ron.

It was petty and pathetic fight, Ron was very vocal about her choices, he hated her plans as soon he came to know, he tried everything in his power to change her mind, he thought it was too independent and simply wanted to "break" the trio in order of her selfish needs of becoming an individual.

That earned him a slap.

Harry understood, he understood her need of fact that she wanted this, needed this, and he actually supported her, he fought besides when Ginny and Ron would accuse her of fame hungry , selfishness .

But harry potter had to break that alliance with her soon after .

The alliance which harry potter had to break was a right one when harry came to know that his arch enemy Draco Malfoy had his muggleborn best friend wrapped around his finger.

Draco Malfoy came into her life right after the war, he became an auror and a partner to harry which they both resented it. Even after war , the bitterness was still there , any chance of friendship was long gone in their eyes.

There was a ministry party in which harry , Hermione and Ron were invited , all of them attended as their last get together, Ron and Hermione who had a broken off a week earlier came with their own dates.

And Theodore Nott was a boring date, Hermione asked him to come along for goodness of heart and as friends.

But after few drinks Nott become more of clingy fellow who wanted more than friends with her that night.

Hermione had to escape .

And there in an empty atrium she saw draco malfoy drinking alone.

Hermione saw him first time after a war, harry did told her about Malfoy, how he was a most stubborn git he ever met, how he would never do what he says , how he would just think he can still own everything.

There was no shame in him, harry would say .

Hermione thought it was bit brave of Malfoy to keep up this, to maintain his old self despite the accuses and insults thrown in his way.

He wasn't vocal about the blood prejudices anymore. But he still hated her that much she knew.

But a drunk Malfoy wasn't that hateful infact he was more willing and smile at her few times and shared his firewhisky with her gladly.

But actions always have consequences, that blasted firewhisky took them one night of oblivion. Both decided after that they wouldn't ever talk about this or even acknowledge it .

But fate had other plans.

After few weeks Hermione was found in Malfoy manor large study where she bawled her eyes out to horrified Draco who ended up in shouting and panicking and frightened probably second time of his life.

It was then when Narcissa and Lucuis malfoy decide to intervene

" are you positive about this?" Lucuis malfoy asked her while keeping his eyes on his son.

"y-yes" Hermione cried over and over.

" damn it granger I thought you knew what were you doing!, how ….how can this happen? This is a disaster!" draco paced back and forth with rage.

" draco do not blame her , for you should know it takes two to tango" his father replied in bored voice.

This just matters worse.

Draco yelled stream of curses which made his mother blush.

"watch it boy or I might have to rip that tongue out" lucuis again replied in bored tone.

Hermione was actually surprised to Lucuis malfoy supporting and scolding draco , he was playing the role of dotting father nicely, for someone as Lucuis malfoy he had finally gone soft and regretted his actions over his past life.

Now it was Draco who was sweating from anger turned to his father.

" what happens now?" he asked through his teeth .

" you marry her" narcissa malfoy spoke softly.

"WHAT ?"

"You. .granger" narcissa spoke annoyed at her son's approach.

" why would I do that?"

" because I don't want my grandchild to be born like this, a bastard" narcissa spoke disgusted with her choice of her word.

" oh iam sorry, I marry granger so you cannot bear to have a bastard grandchild?"

"watch that tone draco or I may do it" lucuis spoke now in rage.

" they are options! So many of them, they are magical and muggle options! " draco yelled

At the sound of "muggle options" Hermione 's ears perked up, she didn't know what magical options were and didn't want to know , but no way in hell she gives into draco malfoy "options".

"don't you dare malfoy". Hermione whispered.

" what did you say?" draco's neck snapped at her.

" I said no , I won't do whatever you are thinking iam not giving in, I keeping it" she said in final

" and would you do that? Don't you see the child you might carrying is malfoy? A no good coward deatheater's child ?" draco hissed .

Hermione winced at his tone.

" I wouldn't ! this is also my child malfoy, you don't have right to decide anything without my consent".

" shut up , shut up, shut up!" draco yelled, he grabbed and shook her like a rag doll.

" you granger , is huge vincitive greedy little bitch!, you seek nothing but retribution for what I have done to you in past ! you were probably planning your revenge on me long before that, who else is in it ? is it potter? Weasley? You would have made this sick dumb joke and decide to toy with me and I will show you and I will show you all what iam capable of!".

He was shaking her through whole time.

But then he was torn away from her, into the wall , he hit his head on the wall , and fell into the carpet his head was now bleeding.

Lucuis malfoy held his wand in direction towards his son.

" take another step and I will not hesitate to do that again". He spoke while pointing his wand at draco.

Mrs malfoy came to hermione's behind, and spoke softly to her,

" how far along are you?" she spoke as asking of weather.

" 8 weeks". Came a broken reply.

" and you didn't plan this on draco did you ? please speak truth ".

"no I would never do that to anyone".

Mrs malfoy seemed to believe her, mr malfoy seemed to regarding draco all along.

"lucuis what do we do? That boy will never agree" mrs malfoy spoke to her husband.

Mr malfoy turned to his wife, a non verbal agreement set in their eyes.

After a sigh mr malfoy turned to his only son.

" draco I know this is a situation you both didn't ask for it, but it happened, miss granger doesn't seem to have any plans like you accused and I happen to believe her too, but know this draco every malfoy have never been born out of wedlock, and if the situation really happens you will marry miss granger" mr malfoy spoke this in tone of finality.

"no malfoy ever married a muggleborn either" draco sneered at Hermione.

" I know , but since you both made this bed , you might as well sleep on it" . with that mr malfoy left the room with his wife on the tow.

Now draco and Hermione were alone.

Draco sneered " I hate you" and left.

Hermione broke into tears again.

The daily prophet issued a story , cover up ofcourse that running into each other in a vacations and one thing led to another and now both of them so in love that they decided to get married in a month.

The howler from ginny was expected. But it was harry 's letter which broke her heart.

Hermione I heard the news, and believe me it is shocking, you know I supported and understood how you don't want ron anymore in your life but replacing him with that deatheater is unforgiveable , I might not at the moment but maybe in sometime I shall, ginny is furious so is ron but they won't come near you I made sure of that, consider this as my last favor to you.

It was that letter when Hermione received right after her marriage , and cried about it whole night, until next morning draco found it and burned it right in front of her.

A few months later.

Lyra Narcissa Malfoy and Cassie Jean Malfoy was born.

Her both daughters had their father's exact white blonde hair and their eyes were flecked with his grey blue.

Draco was hugely disappointed when they found out they were having twin girls and not a boy.

But mr and mrs malfoy both loved them, spoiled their granddaughters very much. Mr malfoy had a soft corner for both of his granddaughters he would often read them stories and play with them.

Hermione thought she was lucky to have such good in laws only if her husband was more like them.

Draco was never involved into their daughters lives, he changed his departments started working in magical law enforcement which he hated, he worked all day and night , he bought his work home even and often blame Hermione for their daughters making noise happening downstairs .

It was only mr malfoy who kept his mouth shut.

But sadly mr malfoy passed away, the pressure of life was too much on old man, cassie and lyra cried to their loss of their grandpa but hoped daddy would play with them.

Now it was only Hermione , her two daughters and draco .

Mrs malfoy decided to leave the manor, she bought a small property in wales and settled there, the manor reminded her too much of her husband.

Hermione would take her daughters to meet their grandmother every weekend so they wouldn't miss her much.

But everything changed when one evening Hermione found her husband packing his clothes in a trunk, this wasn't new , Hermione was used to his trips and he wouldn't even tell her where he is really going.

Draco was packing his shirts when she came in, he didn't even look up at her and just kept packing.

"where are you going?" Hermione would ask.

" none of your concern". He would answer

" atleast tell me when are you coming , your girls ask me where you often go and when you will return ". She would say that to him.

" your girls granger not my girls and like I said none of your concern". He would spat back.

" how can you say that? They are your children too ! why can't you accept that fact and move on?".

" I would never ever accept the fact that I married you granger , the girls will have to live with that".

" they are going to hate you , don't do this"

" let them"

" please just come to lyra's play tomorrow she has been practicing for that for a long time and she would love you to come".

At this draco stopped, Hermione thought maybe he was considering a possibility of rethinking of his trip, she hoped he would atleast for this time be there for their daughter.

But then after a while he went back to his pack his clothes.

Hermione was angry.

" why are you doing this? If you are so fed up about it then take it with me not the girls ! they never deserved it ! and your father is not even alive this would make easy". She yelled

Draco just closed his eyes and counted to ten, he was always did that when he was really furious.

" maybe you forget to see that iam fed up with you but there is nothing I can do , our marriage was binding one , if I wish to divorce you I can't if my blasted father hadn't put that breech to disown me the day I hand my divorce papers I would have done long time ago, but I can't and iam not taking this on girls, iam just making them realize that sometime you don't get you want". He spoke in calm deadly whisper.

"then you are a hypocrite then since you had everything". Hermione spoke seething.

Draco just smirked and went on packing.

After a while he headed out but before he did he spoke " you tell lyra I won't make it , perhaps never will".

Hermione's blood froze.
