Chapter 2:
THE BURROW
The Malfoys arrived at the Burrow just a little bit late since Draco had prolonged his beauty sleep for what it seemed like 5 minutes to him which was actually over 1 hour. He finally got up after Hermione hexed him and threatened to turn him into a ferret.
The Burrow already full with people when they arrived. It was so crowded and loud with voices. The adults were talking, arguing and joking with each other. The children were running around the house. It so fortunate that the Burrow had large compound for the children to play and had been expanded for the couple last years to accommodate all the children and grandchildren included the foster one like the Malfoys. The Burrow also became the place for the grandchildren to sleepover and stayed when their parents were working.
It never ceased to amaze Draco that all of these people got to meet and gather like this. If anyone told Draco that this will happen in the future, he will not hesitate to hex that person. But still he glad that these people were in his life.
"Oh, Hello dears" Molly greeted. She wore a very bright smile on her face.
"Come on in. All the adults are in the sitting room."She said as she hugged all the Malfoys.
At first this kind of gesture made Draco uncomfortable. As time past by, he became attached to Mr and Mrs Weasley especially her cooking.
The Malfoy girls began to make their own way to find their friends. Hermione went to the kitchen where all the women were at. Draco began walked to the sitting room and sit next to Charlie Weasley who was the only bachelor in the room but currently dated Astoria Greengrass.
"Hey, Draco" Charlie greeted Draco with a nudged on his shoulder.
"Hey" Draco greeted back.
He looked around the room and spotted Pansy and Ron tried to comfort their 1 and half month son, Arthur Junior or AJ . He also spotted George, Blaise and Harry at the other couch discussed Quidditch that they all will participate later and the corner was Percy,Bill, Arthur and Theo no doubt discussed about work.
"How's your work? Anything interesting?" Draco asked Charlie.
"Well... nothing new. Just we're getting reports by the locals about rare type of dragon was spotted at the rural area of Wizarding Transylvania." Charlie replied seriously.
"So... what's up with Astoria?" Draco asked with a knowing grinned on his face.
Charlie paled at that question. How the hell did he knew? Charlie thought.
At the kitchen.
Hermione helped Molly to prepare the brunch. They usually had brunch and lunch at the Burrow. All the women were having a conversation about babies, clothes, cooking and even men.
"Oh, my back hurt and my ankle all swollen." Ginny complained as she waddled from the bathroom to sit at the chair in the kitchen. She currently 7 months pregnant. The pregnancy was a surprised since both Harry and Ginny mutually decided to stop having more children after Lily Luna who was the same age as Aurora.
"You will forget all the pain once the baby is in your arms" said Luna while she rocking her son, Tyson who only just one month old. Luna got married to Theo a year after Hermione and Draco's wedding. They had 4 children and all boys which were 6-year-old twins Lorcan and Lysander, 5-year-old Tyler and baby Tyson.
"Yeah, it's only 2 months away so relaxed. Will ya?" Angelina joined the conversation. Angelina was married to George and they were parents to Fred Weasley II, a 6-year-old boy and a 2-year-old Roxanne. Angelina also expecting another child this June, a boy.
"I know but that 2 months will be the longest 2 months ever and this pregnancy begin to take its toll on me" grumbled Ginny.
"So... Hermione. Do we expect another Malfoy this year?" asked 3 months pregnant Daphne but still not showing. Daphne already had 2 children with her husband Blaise. They were Blake and Daisy Zabini which were 7 and 3 year old this year.
"No, definitely no" said Hermione confidently.
"We had decided to stop having anymore children. 4 is more than enough for me. Although Draco, Lucius and even my father want to have a boy in the family, I just want to focus on my work and the girls" said a very determined Hermione.
"You decide to stop having kids, doesn't mean you will not have another one especially the surprise one just like this one" said Ginny who was rubbing her protruding belly to soothe her active baby.
"But I definitely will stop after I give birth this baby. If Harry want another one, he will carry the next one on his own" Ginny muttered.
"I have 7 children and you complained already. Woman these day. Audrey can you be a dear to call all the men to come outside since the brunch will start in a few minutes?" Molly grumbled and called to Audrey, Percy's wife and mother to 9-year-old Lucy and 8-month-old Molly.
After the brunch, the long awaiting Quidditch match. They were divided into 2 teams and randomly picked into the team by a piece of paper contained team number.
In team 1 were Harry, Blaise, Arthur, Percy and Bill. The other team were Draco, Theo, Ron, Charlie and Bill.
All the women and children watched the game at a safe distance but have a clear view to watch. They still put a protecting spell around them as a precaution.
"How I wish I could join them" said Ginny and Angelina at the same time. Both of them were a professional Quidditch player but Ginny stop after Lily was born. She were a former Holyhead Harpies player and Angelina still a Montrose Magpies player but temporarily on leave due to her pregnancy.
Hermione on the other hand busy attended a very fussy Aurora or Rory. She became a bit fussy since she missed her nap. All the children her age already took a nap and some still napping. Hermione draped a nursing blanket over her shoulder and unbuttoned her shirt to nurse Rory. After a few minutes nursing, Rory began lulled to sleep. Hermione placed Rory beside Lily and watched the match.
The match was intense since both seekers were not giving up. They flew around looking for the golden snitch. Team 1 was a few points above the Team 2. Draco dodged the bludger in front of him. He looked around for the snitch and saw the sparkle things a few meter in front of him. He quickly flew towards it. Harry saw this and quickly followed Draco. They chased that bloody thing with a full speed. They were neck and neck but with a bit jump from Draco, he caught the snitch. He fell and hurt his leg but it was damned worth it to defeat Harry Potter. His team won.
Hermione was shocked and started to panic to see Draco fell from his broom. She ran to him and hugged him.
Draco was shocked by Hermione before he could say anything. He was slapped.
"What are you thinking?,Malfoy?" cried Hermione.
Draco was so shocked and looked at his wife who was already crying. He felt guilty. Everyone watched them. The children stopped playing to watch the scene in front of them.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mione to make you worry but can you heal my leg? Please?" Draco said with a grinned on his face.
Hermione watched his husband and a smile appeared on her face. She muttered a spell and Draco's leg healed completely. Cassie, Lyra and Ara ran towards the and hugged Draco.
"Daddy" they shouted before they launched themselves on their father.
The day went completely fine after that, just a normal banter and a very arrogant Draco Malfoy who defeated Harry Potter.
The Malfoys went home after dinner at the Burrow. Aurora had fell asleep on Draco's arms. He put her sleeping daughter in her room. He tucked in and kissed her forehead before went to her eldest daughter room.
"Goodnight Cassie. Have a sweet dream, Sweetheart" he repeated his action with Rory to Cassie. He went to the twins' room for a while and saw that they already asleep since Hermione had tucked them into the bed earlier.
He went to his room and saw that Hermione already in bed in her nightgown. She was reading a spell book and she still not aware of his presence. A mischief grin appeared on Draco's lips. He tackled his wife to bed and this made her screamed and smacked his head in the process.
"Bloody hell, woman. Can you stop hitting me for at least a day?" Draco told Hermione while rubbing a sore spot on his head.
"You the one who attacked me, Prat" Hermione crossed her arms.
A mischief grin appeared again when he saw his wife under him with a frown on her face. That face always made him turn on. While on top of her Draco planted a kiss on her lips. The kiss turn into a passionate kiss and slowly their hands all over each other body. Their clothes slowly disappeared. Draco mutter Muffliato quietly since they can be loud during their lovemaking. He didn't want to traumatized their children.
After the heated lovemaking, they tried to catch their breathe. Hermione laid on Draco's bare chest with a smile on her face.
"I love you" she muttered before she fell asleep.
"I love you too" Draco replied and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Without they knowing that night, their family will change forever. But it is a beautiful change. A very beautiful change.
