"Is that?" asked harry. "Hermione?" Ginny finished for him. On hearing the name everyone near them turned around eagerly. Their jaws dropped when they spotted her a midst the malfoys. "Hello everyone" she said calmly. Ron was shocked beyond words. "What are you doing with that evil git?" he growled. "Excuse me? I am sure everyone knows who is evil here. Don't you dare talk to my husband like that." She spat and then turned towards harry and Ginny. "Harry, gin, it has been very long! I have missed you both too much!" she said. Ginny was the first to recover from the shock. "Hello 'Mione! We have missed you so much too! How are you? Is this your family?" she said. "Yes gin this is my family! You know my husband Draco and these are our children Alexander, Cassiopeia and Scorpius. Alex and Cassie are starting school this year! "She said. "Wow! That is great!" exclaimed Ginny." These are my children, James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily Luna. James is starting school this year." Said Ginny.

Just then the final whistle was given by the guard. They led their children to the train and bid their farewells. "Now be good both of you. I don't want any complaints from the headmistress else I would bring you straight back home you get that?"Said Hermione with a serious face. Draco chuckled at this and Hermione ignored him. "I will miss you both. Write to me every week. I love you guys. Now off you go" she said hugging them both. Now it was Draco's turn." God the house is going to be silent from now. I will miss you two. Now don't try to be too good children. I want you to enjoy school. So be what you are" said Draco hugging his children. "We love you dad and mum" they said in unison and hugged their little brother and got onto the train. They all waved good bye to their children until the train disappeared around the corner.

"Well, It is nice seeing you all again. It would be nice if we meet again. Harry and Ginny would you like to join us for dinner tonight with your children at our house?" asked Draco completely ignoring Ron and his wife Astoria. Harry was shocked at first but then shook Draco's hand and accepted. "We would love to catch up Draco. Thank you!" he said. Draco smiled back. "Cool then! Our place at 6.00. Is that okay?" he asked. Harry nodded. To anybody who didn't know them, it would seem as if they were best friends for long. They both found it very easy to talk to each other. After talking for a few minutes, they decided to get back to their houses and then meet in the evening completely ignoring the third couple standing there.

On their way home while driving in their grand black BMW i8, Draco thought about how easy it was talking to harry. Harry? When did he become harry? He thought to himself. Then he turned and looked at the beautiful witch sitting next to him. He remembered the day when they first talked under normal circumstance.

14 years ago….

Months passed and Draco and Hermione got accustomed to their works completely ignoring each other's presence. But Draco found it very difficult. He wanted to talk to Hermione and at least apologize for everything. One day Hermione was late for work. She had to look through her files and was running late. She was busy reading her file while walking to her office when she ran into someone. "Oh am sorry I was not looking properly" she said and then she saw who it was. Draco Malfoy was standing close to her. "It is ok granger. Just be careful when you walk" he said walking away. Hermione was surprised. This was not the Malfoy that she knew. She was curious to know what he was doing in France. She kept staring at him all day during lunch and also during the meetings and he caught her staring at him a few times. He decided to talk to her.

In the evening Hermione was making her way out when she felt someone calling her. She turned around to see Draco Malfoy rushing towards her. "Hermione can we talk for a minute?" he asked. She was surprised when he used her first name. "What do you want mal-Draco?" she asked. "Nothing I just wanted to apologize for everything that happened between us" he blurted out. Hermione was shocked. Draco Malfoy apologizing? "I-it's okay Malfoy no problem" she said. "would you like to join me for a drink now?" he asked hoping that she would agree. "S-sure...I mean…why not "she said and they both went to a nearby muggle cafe.

Draco and Hermione talked about the reason why they were in France, about the war, their friends, family and work. They both understood that they had finally found someone to talk and share things. They decided to go home and even agreed to meet more and talk normally at the department. Draco reached home and could not put Hermione out of his mind. She was beautiful, intelligent and a perfect person to talk to. He wanted to meet her again soon. He wanted to spend more time with her. Slowly he got to bed drifting into a sleep with dreams about a beautiful brunette.

Present….

Hermione noticed her husband smiling and asked him "what is it Draco?" he smiled at her and replied "nothing love. Just thinking about the day I started to feel for you" Hermione smiled remembering the day." It seems like only yesterday" she said smiling. Draco nodded as they got home.

The next day Draco was busy with work. After having decided to get back to London, the malfoys had quit their job and had started a company called Malfoy industries. It has been few months and Draco was very busy with the development processes. Even within a very short period, the company was flourishing. He sat in his office room at home and was going through a document when he heard Hermione clearing her throat." Umm Draco can I talk to you for a moment?" she asked softly. "love you know I don't like to be disturbed when I am working" he said without looking up." But this is important" she said slightly annoyed. Draco sighed. "Okay now tell me what it is?" he asked." I think we'll have to redecorate the nursery again" she said beaming. Draco understood. "You mean you are?" he said looking at her stomach. She nodded smiling. Draco lifted her and spun her around and kissed her softly." I am so happy love! This calls for a celebration". He said carrying her to their room.
