A family of four stumbled out of the less used fireplaces of the overseas fire places of the Ministry of magic.
"Shove it, sis"
"Really! I'm not the one hogging the fire place", his sister snapped.
"Both of you move it!" drawled their father stepping aristocratically out .
"Moving dad," said both of them in a monotone.
"Seriously, if you three don't move..."
The father and the kids rolled their eyes and moved over to the side, not wanting a tirade to start.
Waiting for them was the Minister of Magic himself, but he looked like he was stupefied into oblivion.
Chuckling quietly, Draco Malfoy waved his hands in front of Kingsley Shacklebolt.
"You could have just told me you found me very attractive, minister"
Aiming a shot at the back of her husband's head, Hermione Granger Malfoy extended a hand and still hesitantly said"Um, Kingsley.. Hi!"
Snapping out of his reverie, Kingsley hugged Hermione ignoring her extended hand.
"Hermione Granger,-"he started.
"Its Malfoy now, Minister" said Malfoy coolly crossing his hands and leaning against the wall."And don't look so shocked, even though I know you always fancied me."
"What?"
"Stop that, Draco"she scolded "and Kingsley—"she said moving closer to her husband who wrapped an arm around her waist, "we got married."
"What?"
"You should ask 'Mione here for help in increasing your vocabulary, Minister"
"Ignore Draco ,Kingsley and these " pointing to her two 11-yr old kids, Scorpius and Siria Malfoy who were almost identical with Malfoy's blonde hair and Hermione's hazel brown eyes, she proudly said, "are our kids."
"Wow! They're gorgeous"
"Of course Minister, with parentage like theirs, it's inevitable, isn't it?"
"Don't be so cocky, Draco" She threw him a warning look and asked Kingsley "How are you?"
"Fine, I guess and How are you doing, little dears?"
"We are good, thank you" said the twins together (courteously!)
"Wonderful manners, Hermione. Thank goodness they didn't get their father's manners!"He said chuckling as Malfoy growled low in his throat.
"Draco here has the same exquisite manners he had earlier, Kingsley. Anyway, I want a favour of you..."
"Sure, Hermione."
"Um..., don't tell anyone we're here .We'll reacquaint in our own pace."
"But—"
"Minister, we need some time."Draco cut in" and we'll stay with my parents till then."
"Have fun convincing your parents, Malfoy" said Kingsley laughing.
"Actually, Kingsley, his parents already know. Only both our parents were at our wedding. They are at Malfoy manor now and must be waiting for us."
"Oh!"
"Thanks, Kingsley and don't tell anyone, Please."
"Uh-huh. Get going then and ask me if you need help"
Nodding at him, Hermione and the kids vanished into the fireplace.
Stepping into the fireplace, Malfoy looked back and sincerely said," Thanks minister" and reverting back to his smirking self, winked and said" Don't dream about me ,Minister as tempting as it may be." before vanishing into the fireplace.
Shaking his head as if to figure out if it was a dream or not, Kingsley walked back to his office trying to think of all the ways he could tell everyone without breaking his promise.
And not surprisingly, he was distracted all day.
