"Higher, Mummy, higher!" Hermione laughs and pushes her daughter even higher. A little blonde boy runs up towards Hermione. "Mummy, can we gets an ice cweam?" She turns around and picks up the little boy, swinging him around. "Of course my Scorpius! We can go to Diagon Alley and we can buy whatever you'd like!" The dirty blonde little girl on the swing jumps off and runs to her mother. "Do you mean it? Can we really get anything we want?" "Absolutely my Rose! Anything you want!" Rose's eyes narrow and she looks at her mom suspiciously. "Why are you being so giving?" Hermione grins and crouches next to her daughter and whispers into her ear. Rose's face grows from shock to happiness. She squeals and wraps her arms around her mother's neck.
"I can't wait mummy! Can we go to muggle London and go to a spa? I want to look my best." Hermione smiles, "Of course Rosie. We'll drop Scorp off at Uncle Harry's house and we'll go out, just me and you for one last time. So Scorpius, where do you want to go?" "I wants ice cweam! I also wants a new book." Hermione smiles and shakes her head at how similar her son is to her, no matter if he looks like his daddy. "Of course. What kind of ice cream do you want, you two?" "Choclate!" "Toffee Chunks!" Hermione nods and leads her children to The Leaky Cauldron. "'Ello Miss Hermione. 'Ello children." The two children giggle and run to the door. "Hullo Tom. Would you mind calling the Potter household and asking if I can drop off Scorpius?" "Of course, Miss Hermione." She smiles and opens the door which leads to the alley. She taps the wall with her wand and the majestic wonders of Diagon Alley appear. Rose's eyes widen at the sight of Ollivander's Wand Shop.
"Mummy can we go there? You said I could get anything I wanted! Besides, I'm turning eleven in a month so maybe-" "I'm sorry sweetie. You know Ollivander won't let you! What if we go to Quality Quidditch Supplies and head to Uncle George's shop afterwards?" Rose reluctantly agrees but heads off in the direction of the Quidditch store, Scorpius in tow. Hermione chuckles and rushes to catch up with her children. Thirty minutes later, they walk to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. The new owner smiles at the sight of a former War Hero and her children. His smile widens when he sees which War Hero it is and who she's married to. "Hello everyone. How may I serve you?" he says, his American accent evident. Rose blushes under his gaze, "Um, I'd like a cone with Toffee Chip ice cream. My little brother wants a cone with Chocolate ice cream. I like your eyes." The man smiles and thanks her. "Coming right up, little lady," Glancing at his name tag, Hermione smiles at the familiar name. Fred. "-and what would you like Her-Hermia-Hermino-" "Her-mi-O-nee." She politely states.
"Excuse me. I'm sorry." Fred says. "I'm in the mood for some raspberry ice cream in a cup." The man nods and turns to complete their orders. "Here are your ice creams. It'll cost about 12 Sickles." "I'll give you a Galleon. Keep the change." The man smiles gratefully and Hermione leave with her children. Walking to Flourish and Blotts, Rose chatters about Hogwarts and Scorpius toddles around giggling and singing. Hermione smiles and finishes of her ice cream before throwing it away, along with Rose and Scorp's napkins. She opens the door and they wander around, wasting a load of money and having fun.
They walk to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, where George spoils Rose and Scorpius. They leave the store with three bags full of trinkets and pranks. "I love Uncle George. He's the best uncle ever, right next to Uncle Theo." Rose says excitedly. When they get back to The Leaky Cauldron, Tom informs Hermione that Harry has allowed Scorpius over. Hermione smiles and thanks him, giving him a book she purchased. He smiles and turns to some customers. Hermione walks to the fireplace, saying "Potter Manor" and Scorpius disappears. Rose grins and pulls on her mother's hand, eager to go to the spa. They walk through muggle London, chatting about what house Rose will be in and what to name her new pet owl.
Once reaching the spa, the two girls have a good time, giggling and talking about their friends. After an hour of primping, the two ladies leave refreshed and excited. "Let's go home and bake a cake Rosie. Then I'll give Scorp a bath and you can pick out his clothes. We'll all wrap presents and write cards after I finish making dinner. Is that a good plan?" "Yes! Make the cake chocolate and red velvet!" Rose squeals. Hermione chuckles and they head off to Harry's house. A few minutes later, they're standing in front of the manor's fireplace. "Hello Harry! We're here to pick up Scorpius!"
The two girls hear a pitter-patter of feet and Scorpius comes zooming in with Albus and James close behind. "Mummy!" The little boy clings onto his mother's legs and smiles widely at his sister. "Hello Scorp. How was your day?" The boy grins and lets go of his mother's legs, standing next to his two best friends, "It was awesome. I had a lot of fun. Aunt Luna let us play in the river outside!" Hermione smiles and ruffles her son's hair. "Come on Scorp. We're going home and baking a cake. Then I'm going to give you a bath and we're going to dress you up. Someone special's coming over today. Then tomorrow, Grandpapa Lucius and Grammy Cissa are coming over. They've come back from their vacation to Italy."
Scorpius' eyes light up as do Rose's. "Yay!" the two children yell. Hermione says goodbye to Harry, Luna, and their children then floos back home, her children in tow. Once there, they get to work on a cake. Rose giggles as Scorpius tells a wild story about aliens and ninjas beating up nice lollipop ladies. Once the cake batter is in the oven and charmed to come out itself so as to not burn, Hermione brings a very messy boy to the bathroom. She takes off his clothes and puts him in the warm bath water. Rose runs off to find Scorpius' best clothes. After Scorpius is clean, Hermione takes him out and dries him, his platinum blond hair curling into small ringlets and his hazel eyes shining. Hermione puts the clothes Rose chose on Scorpius. He smiles as he sees he's wearing his Slytherin green turtleneck, his brown pants, and his grey slip-on shoes. "I look like daddy!"
Hermione stifles her giggle as he runs out, screaming, "Expellimarnus! Winardius lebicornus!" and swishing his imaginary wand. She gets up and sees Rose running after him in a dress with black beads on the torso and white ruffles for the skirt. Her black gladiator-like sandals rush after him, "That's not how you pronounce it. It's Wingardium Levi-O-sa! Scorpius!"
Hermione smiles at her daughter, almost an exact replica of herself when she was younger except Rose had her father's grey-blue eyes, his smirk, and his cunningness. She walks to her own closet and puts on her silk emerald green dress and her silver, snake-skin looking heels. She reaches for her heart shaped locket and smiles at the picture inside. Hermione latches on her heart shaped bracelet and stares at the beautiful wedding ring on her finger. Hermione smiles lovingly and looks at her right ring finger which bears the Slytherin House ring also doubling as her engagement ring. She grins and skips off to make dinner. After thirty minutes of making the perfect dinner, Hermione places a warming charm on the delectable food and collects her children, who are eager to wrap presents. Hermione gives Scorpius a Potions book and Rose a scrapbook and some wrapping paper each. They both giggle and start wrapping. Hermione brings out a some valuable pictures and portraits and wraps them lovingly. She writes a letter and tucks it into the paper. The two children scribble a letter and draw pictures which Hermione also tucks into the paper. Rose and Scorpius take their gifts downstairs. "Mummy, why are we having a party? Who's birfday is it?"
Hermione laughs and kisses her son's head. "It's not a birthday party. Someone's coming over today. Someone very special." Scorpius cocks his head and pouts, "Zinnia? She's very special to me." Rose awws and Scorpius frowns, "Don't say that. I don't get it." Rose giggles and skips off to the foyer, singing, "Scorp likes Zinnia, Scorp likes Zinnia." Hermione giggles and follows them. "Children. Come and stand in front of me. Our guest should be arriving in a few seconds." As they stand there in silence, Scorpius taps his foot and Rose bites her lip, eager for their guest. Hermione's eyes tear up and she smiles eagerly, practically dancing in anticipation. She hears a pop and footsteps nearing the door. The door opens and she hears, "Hullo? Anyone home? I've missed you." Scorpius jumps and sprints to the door, Rose right behind him. "Daddy! You're back! I love you daddy! Look daddy, I have a present for you!" Rose stays quiet but her giant grin shows her emotions.
Draco hugs his children and cries tears of joy. Finally hugging his children for the first time in a year and a half, he kisses their foreheads and pulls them closer. Rose cries as well, and finally whispers, "I love you so much daddy. Don't ever leave again." Draco kisses her again, "Never again, my darling Rose petal." She giggles and kisses his cheek. Draco stands holding Scorpius and looks at the love of his life. "Hermione." he murmurs and she runs up to him. Draco gently lays Scorpius on the floor and turns to face his wife. Her beautiful dark brown hair, her creamy white skin, her red lips, and her amazingly stunning chocolate eyes.
Hermione takes in her husband's attractive face. His now darker hair from the sun, the golden stubble on his face, his aristocratic nose, his dark pink, bow-shaped lips and his striking grey-blue eyes. They lean in and their lips lock in heated passion. After a few seconds of bliss, they pull apart. "Shall we have dinner and talk, children?" They both cheer and start informing their father about everything, all the while dropping the gifts off on the couch where Hermione and Draco's gifts lay. "So daddy, last week I went to Hunter's house and we challenged each other. I won three times and he won two." Draco chuckles, "That's my girl, stubborn and perfect." She giggles and sit down at the dinner table. Scorpius looks into his father's face for a few seconds and hugs his legs tightly, crying. Draco frowns and crouches to his son's height.
"What's wrong, Scorpion?" "You were gone for a long time. Why were you gone Daddy?" Draco looks down sadly, "Daddy was off fighting bad guys. Very bad guys who wanted to kill beautiful ladies like your mummy." "Deaf-Beaters?" Draco chuckles, "Yes. Death-eaters. Please don't say that word though. There were many bad men who ran away, who didn't go to Azkaban. I was on a special mission looking for the lead bad guy. I couldn't talk to you guys because if I did, the bad guy could've come and hurt you. I finally caught him a few days ago and my leader said I was allowed back home. I promise I won't ever leave for a long time ever again." Scorpius smiles and sits down next to Rose. They chatter amongst themselves and Hermione brings the dinner in. She places it on the dinner table, steaming and warm. The aroma filters through and everyone moans hungrily. Hermione sits down and Draco sits next to her. She turns towards him and smiles lovingly, "I love you Draco." He caresses her face and lays his forehead on hers whilst staring deeply into her eyes, "I love you too, Hermione."
