Chapter Four

A pretty young witch greeted them when they entered the Divorce Finalization office.

"Hullo, you must me Hermione, and you, Draco. And this adorable little girl must be Rose," she said. "I'm Cassandra Vane, I believe you went to school with my little sister, Romilda?"

"Yes, she was erm..." Hermione stumbled to find the appropriate word.

"Bloody ignorant for trying to slip Harry the love potion? Yeah, I know. Mum's still livid over that one."

Hermione just smiled. Cassandra turned and led them to the office they needed to be. As they walked in, Draco heard Hermione gasp sharply.

His head turned to the elongated table in front of them. Already seated were Ronald and...Astoria Greengrass? Draco was shocked.

"Astoria...what are you..." he stumbled.

"Supporting my Ronnikins. His pure blood shouldn't be tainted by that filthy, disgusting Muggle blood," she said triumphantly. "I hope you know, after we're done here, Ronnikins will gladly sign over rights to that...thing you're holding, Draco."

"This thing happens to be one of the two people who I love!" Draco said. Astoria blanched at the thought of Draco loving a Mudblood. "And these two amazing girls are the first girls I've ever loved!"

Astoria's face fell for a moment then she stage-whispered to Ron, "Don't worry dear, they'll be out of our hair in no time."

Before Draco or Hermione could think of something to say, the Wizard lawyer walked in.

"Now, I understand both parties want this done and over with today?" he asked.

"Yes," all four answered in reply.

"Now, Mrs. Weasley...the current Mrs. Weasley," he added when Astoria appeared she was going to say something. "You are the petitioner. Could you please tell me why you filed for divorce?"

"All throughout our marriage, Ron came home late at night drunk, reeking of Firewhiskey and perfume," she began. "Actually, I smell the same perfume n..." she cut off when it dawned on her. "You were cheating on me with her? Astoria FUCKING Greengrass?"

"Yes," Ron said. "You only gave it up once, and that was because you wanted to get pregnant. Why waste my time for a mudblood like yourself to give it up when Astoria here is the woman I truly love."

"SHE IS NOT A FUCKING MUDBLOOD!" Draco bellowed, waking Rose. As he soothed her, he said, calmer, "You, of all people, should know that, Ron. She carries the fucking word with her every day of her goddamned life! You were the one who defended her when I stupidly called her that in second year."

"Yes, that's true. However, the Weasleys are no longer a family of blood-traitors. Only George, Bill, Percy, and Ginny."

"Why just them?" Hermione asked.

"The rest of us denounced our pathetic Muggle-loving ways just last night," Ron replied, as if he was commenting on the weather. "All the men have the Mark now."

"Ronald, why could you possibly need a Dark Mark?" she shrieked. "Voldemort is dead. You watched Harry kill him!"

"We don't need Voldemort. Blaise Zabini is our Master."

Draco paled even more.

Suddenly, the lawyer said, "Mr. Weasley, Miss Greengrass, I'm afraid I'm going to have to..."

He was cut off by Ron shouting, "Obliviate!"

The lawyer came to with Ron saying, "As I was saying, you're nothing but a slag. I deserve better."

"I'm the slag, Ronald?" Hermione shrieked. "You're the one who's been cheating on me!"

The lawyer piped up by saying, "The marriage of Ronald Bilius Weasley and Hermione Jean Granger is officially absolved!"

Draco and Hermione left the room, with Hermione cuddling Rose close.

As they neared the end of the hallway, they heard, "Oi, Malfoy!"

Draco turned to see a flash of red light coming fast at them. He threw up a wandless and wordless shield charm and bolted towards Ron.

"If you ever try to harm my wife or my daughter again, I will kill you and your pathetic excuse for a girlfriend!" Draco hissed.

"Who said anything about Astoria being my girlfriend? We're just on our way to get married."

"You may not be a blood-traitor anymore, Weasley, but you were traitorous to your morals and values," Draco called after him.

"Oh, you won't be seeing us at the next office you need to go to," Astoria shouted. "Ronnikins owled the signed forms this morning."

Draco and Hermione stalked to the next office, where all Draco had to do was sign his name and leave his magical signature to be Rose's legal father.

"Now off to make you Hermione Jean Malfoy," Draco said, finally smiling.

Her heart fluttered just thinking about it.

Twenty minutes later, they kissed, their first real kiss, in front of Kingsley Shacklebolt, Harry, Ginny, and their oldest, James Sirius, and Lavendar and Seamus. "I present to you Mister and Missus Draco Lucius Malfoy!" Kingsley said, smiling.

"Kingsley, I've never been to the Blood Adoption offices. Since you'll be performing the ceremony, could you lead us?" Hermione asked.

"Of course," he said, smiling still.

As they walked to the office, Draco said, "I wonder how much her looks will change."

"Quite a bit, I think. She really favors Ron," Hermione said. "She'll be even more beautiful."

As they walked into the office, Draco and Hermione suddenly got scared.

"Kingsley, are you sure this is safe for Rosie?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, in fact, I was blood adopted by my father."

Hermione relaxed at the thought.

As Kingsley prepared the goblet for Draco, and bottle for Rose, Hermione kissed her husband.

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," he replied.

"We're ready," Kingsley said.

Hermione watched as Kingsley pricked Rose's finger and let a few drops drip into a chalice, which he was going to mix the blood with a little charmed water. He did the same to Draco, and added the water. He then chanted something Hermione didn't understand, and poured the mixture into the bottle and goblet. Draco and Rose both drank it.

After a moment, Rose began to change. Her auburn hair turned dirty blonde, the perfect combination of Hermione and Draco. Her blue-green eyes which reminded Hermione so much of Ron changed to gray to match Draco's. After ten minutes, the transformation was complete. Rose was now Rose Jane Malfoy.

As they walked out, they were met by Harry, Ginny, and James Sirius.

"She's not my blood niece anymore, but she's still my niece to me," Ginny boldly said.

"Gin, she's technically your cousin," Harry laughed.

"Hang on, Gin, I know a way she can be your blood niece," Hermione said. "Come on."

As they walked back into the room, Hermione asked Kingsley, "Is there any way you could make Ginny my blood sister?"

"Yes," Kingsley said. "One moment."

"Hermione!" Ginny squealed. "Are you serious?"

"You were like a sister to me since second year. Of course I'm serious!"

After twenty minutes, Hermione and Ginny walked out, both of their appearances slightly changed. Ginny was taller, and more voluptuous. Hermione's hair was sleeker and her eyes were greener.

"Wow," Harry and Draco said as they saw the girls.

"Thank you," Ginny said, tears in her eyes.

"No problem Gin. I always wanted a sister."

Draco and Hermione left, hand in hand, Draco again holding Rose. Once outside, they apparated back to Draco's flat.

"I'll go make lunch," Draco said, handing Rose to his wife.

"I'll put Miss Rosie down for a nap and join you in a sec," Hermione said, smiling at her husband.

Hermione had never been happier.

Suddenly, a rather large rock came flying through the window. There was a note attached to it:

Ron Weasley may no longer be a Blood-Traitor, but you are Malfoy.
I sincerely hope you come to your senses about the Mudblood and the Halfblood.
I look forward to rebranding you with the redesigned Dark Mark.
B.Z.

"DRACO!" Hermione shouted. "We need to leave, NOW!"
