Draco's point of view

The war changed a lot of people, even me. The best day of my life occurred 2 years after the war, I happened to be walking through Diagon Alley one day and I bumped into a young woman, she seemed to be familiar, yet I couldn't put my finger on where I knew her from, she introduced herself and I froze, It was none other than the small, buck-toothed, bushy-haired girl Hermione Granger, the girl whose younger years at school I had made hell.

She had changed a treat, her hair had become more tamed and had slight ringlets now, and she finally got her womanly curves in, I couldn't help but feel a little lust towards her, she seemed to be slightly weary of her, but seeing as I offered her consolance due to her recent break up with the Weasel she seemed to warm up to me, and she really captivated me, I'd always looked for a girl who had the intellectual capacity to keep me on my toes, and I could see that Granger hadn't changed a bit.

So, this is why I was now, stood in the garden of Malfoy Manor, watching my young daughter and her mother play with Crookshanks, 2 years after that choice meeting we wed, and then within the year Cora was born. Hermione laughed which brought my attention to the two, she picked the now 5 year old Cora up so that she could pick a leaf and then told her how the leaves changed colour, Cora found this explanation to suit her needs and she seemed satisfied with her new findings, so she carried on playing with Crookshanks, Cora and Hermione were incredibly alike, she really was her Mother's Daughter. I smiled, I had the perfect family.

Hermione's point of view

If someone had told me when I was in Hogwarts that one day I would marry Draco Malfoy, I would've called them crazy. However, Fate works in twisted ways, and I find myself 7 years after the war, sat in the garden of Malfoy Manor with my 5 year old daughter playing with Crookshanks whilst my husband Draco watched on, I smiled as my daughter looked up at me, curiosity in her eyes

"Mummy, why do the leaves change colour?"

I looked at her and laughed, the inquisitive look on her face was priceless, I decided to tell her what my parents told me

"Well, the magical fairies come along and change the leaves colours in relation to the weather we're going to have in the coming months, It's to let us know in advance, like a weather forecast" Cora smiled, this explanation seemed to suffice her and she carried on playing with Crookshanks. I stood and smiled at Draco, walking towards him, my hazel eyes met his silver ones, he pulled me into an embrace and kissed me gently

"We have the perfect family"

I smiled up at him and nodded in agreement

"We're truly blessed"

He watched Cora with Crookshanks and smiled, she was telling Crookshanks about the fairies, and Crookshanks sat next to her looking as though he was absorbing her information but probably had other things occupying his feline mind.

"She's destined for great things."
