Extramarital Affair of Hermione Weasley with Draco Malfoy

by WizMonCruWil

It has been months and months and months since I did a Harry Potter fic. But I have always wanted to take my own stab at this pairing, and fans are still - STILL! - giving me feedback on my adultery story with Snape two years after it was written. So, enjoy this Dramione one! Note: most elements of Cursed Child are ignored here, except for the struggles that Albus goes through.

Prologue

The train platform was jammed as Hermione Weasley checked her 12-year-old daughter, Rose, over one final time. "Bag. Jumper." She went through each item aloud. Seeing that she was set, Hermione now made sure that she herself had everything she needed. Purse... wand...

"You're sure it's not weird that I'm coming with you this year, darling?"

Rose shrugged. "No. Not for me, anyway. It's about time the school hired you."

Hermione Weasley had recently left her position with the Ministry's Department of Magical Law Enforcement to take a job as the Charms professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The decision had not been an easy one, what with having a child at the school, and living at the castle full time, leaving her husband Ron and their son Hugo behind. Hermione now turned to the love of her life and straightened his coat.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"Bloody gorgeous," Ron said without a shred of irony. Leave it to her husband to tell her exactly what he was thinking. She swatted him, flushing crimson.

"Ronald! Language!" She now bent down to press a kiss to Hugo's temple. He was only 9 - and seemed just as upset as his cousin, Lily Potter, that he couldn't yet go to school. "You be good and listen to Daddy, OK?"

"He will," Ron chuckled, ruffling Hugo's mop of fiery red hair. "It'll be Boys' Night Out... only all year."

"That's what I'm afraid of," Hermione mused dryly. Smiling at Ron, she pecked his lips chastely. "Try not to wreck the house."

Ron suddenly pulled her back to him and gave her a far more passionate, indecent kiss. Hermione was startled, but smirked into his mouth and kissed back.

"Ronald! We're in public!" she hissed when they broke apart, half-stern, half-amused.

Ron just waggled his eyebrows at her. "I know. Just letting the world know I love you."

Hermione grinned gently. "I love you too."

"Safe travels!" Ron called to her retreating back, as he watched his girls board the train.

As she boarded the locomotive, Hermione couldn't help but feel like someone had been watching her with her family...
