"So that's it, we agree we will Marry...?"
"Yes, I would like a simple ceremony and as soon as possible, just because Scorpius has MRIs, EEGs and some other tests in the upcoming months" This made her worry, she definitely wanted to attend, if he would allow it.
Just then a voice boomed through the room making Scorp scream, he didn't like loud noises
"CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON THE MARRIAGE LAW BY ACCEPTING YOU ENGAGEMENT, PLEASE LEAVE AND DO NOT RETURN UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO MARRY"
Before it finished she scooped Scorp up, comforting him and picking up one of his many toys to look through, as the voice dispersed Hermione looked at Draco who was smiling at them.
"You are great with him, he only has Mother as a female figure in his life, and he seems taken with you."
"Draco... about his appointments you were talking about, do you mind if I come along? I would like to take an active role in his appointments and therapies."
"No, I don't mind, it would help actually! Hermione will you come for a coffee at our place and see what else we can settle on?"
"No, I can't enter the manner yet, please, please don't make me" she stuttered in utter panic, Draco walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Hermione, Hermione look at me, Scorp and I live in Leeds, it's a city in Yor..."
"I live in Leeds, I have never seen you!" She interrupted
"Well we do and have for the last year or so, anyway we do, we don't go to the Manor and Mother lives in our Wiltshire house, we all moved out after the War... too much memories that no one wanted to relive."
Sighing with relief the three floo'd to Draco's flat, walking through the fireplace Hermione saw how modern the flat looked, she put a sleepy Scorpius down to sleep on the sofa, she set a movement charm and walked back into the kitchen, looking at Draco, she sat down at the table.

He felt sick knowing she was so scared of the manner, he remembered that night, that night when his DEAR Aunt tortured Hermione, shaking from this horrid memory he crossed the room to her,
"Hermione, Hermione look at me, Scorp & I live in Leeds, its a city in Yor..."
"I live in Leeds, I have never seen you!"
"Well we do and have for the last year or so, anyway we do, we don't go to the Manor and Mother lives in our Wiltshire house, we all moved out after he War... too much memories that no one wanted to relive."
He reached down to collect Scorpius's toys and trainer and put them back in his bag, he then reached his hand to help them both up. They walked in Silence to the floo.
"Malfoy Flat"
Brushing off the dust he walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on, remembering how she took her Tea, he sat her mug down on the wooden table and sipped his hot Coffee, looking at her staring back.
"Draco, Scorpius has Sensory Sensitivity doesn't he? That's why he couldn't cope with the voice."
He nodded, before he could say anything she asked
"Ok so... Why?"
"Why, what?"
"Why are you so open and haven't rejected this law?"
"Because I remembered you at school, smart and motherly to those two baboons, I presumed you would make a great Mother for Scorpius, lets face it, you cant be worst than the last! How come you never did?"
"Oi! Those baboons are my Friends, well at least Harry is, I haven't spoken to Ron in over 12 months, and he stopped replying to my owls so I presume he didn't want to talk... I don't know, I wanted to and I had rules to begin with, but upon seeing you as a Father I knew you had changed, your face had softened as I saw you play with Scorpius and I didn't want any hostility in front of him." Circling her mug around on the coaster, she looked up at him, he was looking tired.
"Does Scorpius sleep through the night, you look very tired" He sighed realizing she definitely hadn't lost any brain cells!
"He does sometimes but his legs have been giving him some trouble and he had Therapy yesterday so he definitely didn't want to sleep.."
He took a deep breath
"If we are to do this, I at least want to do some bits proper, Hermione, will you become my wife?" He asked on bended knee.
"Well that's a sentence I didn't think I would hear."
"Hello Mother."
A/N I have up to chapter 11 on my computer, just editing and making sure everything is making sense :)
