Throughout the whole chess game between the Malfoys, Hermione saw a smile crack on Draco's face here and there. Every time he smiled and unsuccessfully tried to keep it hidden, she got these funny feelings within her, but she pushed those away.

" YES. I beat you ! See that Lyse?" Scorpius boasted.

" Shut up you ninny. Its obvious he's horrific at it." Lysander retorted. Draco gave him a glare. Though he knew in his head that Lysander was the perfect picture of him. Hermione didn't disagree. He was left alone on the floor, when Scorpius took a seat next to his mother, cuddling next to her arm. Lysander was slouching on a big old armchair a few feet away, and Ivy was wrapping Granger like a blanket, in deep sleep. He observed all three children. Lysander was definitely Draco, blonde and arrogant, but was more gentle and respectful, but only those to whom deserved it. He was a pro at quidditch too, obviously got them from Draco seeing is Hermione was not so keen on riding a broom. Scorpius was a bubbly boy, though he seemed to have problems dealing with his anger. He did resemble Draco, they all did. But the next after the next, their hair would darken in color. Scorpius, a dirty blonde. Which left Ivy, completely a brunette. Ivy was also very bubbly, and very curious. But he knew that she wanted to play with her daddy, only fear was replaced that.

" Can you help me with this?" A soft voice broke his thoughts.

" I don't wanna wake them, but I can't carry them both." Malfoy just sat there, and stared at her. He observed her too. He saw how loving and caring she was, even if they were half his. The spawns of a foul loathsome evil little cockroach. He walked over hesitantly, and took Scorpius in his arms, while she carried Ivy, and woke Lysander to sleep on the couch, and kissed him goodnight. Draco got a strange feeling. He wanted to be kissed goodnight. Then he began to be disgusted by the thought. She followed him up the stairs to her room, and put the kids down.

" Thank you Malfoy." Granger said sincerely.

" I didn't do it for you. Know that Granger." He spat at her. Hermione flinched.

" Then why did you do it?" She snapped back at him.

" Isn't that obvious?"

" No actually it's not. It very well can't be the children since you don't want anything to do with them at all."

" So what? I made it up to them today, didn't I?" Hermione scoffed, while Draco sneered.

" What?"

" Typical of you to do that. Show at least a tiny bit of affection, and think that's all they need."

" Typical of me? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Hermione was about to retort back, but her face diffused from anger to guilt.

" Nothing. I'm sorry. Forget I ever said anything." She turned away from him. Draco stood there, with his mouth agape. What the bloody fuck happened? Did Granger just apologize? What the fuck for? Oh well. I won this battle. These thoughts were running through his mind. She walked over to her door.

" Goodnight Draco." His bloody name? Seriously?

" Night." As she was about to shut it, she heard "Muddy." She sighed dramatically, while behind the door, Draco was smirking headed towards his room for a good night sleep.

The next morning, Draco walked downstairs and met Lysander teasing his younger brother.

" I'll tell mummy on you."

" Oooh. I'm so scared of what mum will do. She's not the same person in out time, you disgusting bogey."

" Hey. Watch your language. Don't talk to your brother that way." Draco suddenly felt really fatherly. Lysander glared at him.

" What do you care?" Lysander sneered at him to continue.

" I -" Draco was cut off by little girl babble coming from down the stairs. Ivy was holding her mum's hand, peering at the three with her large gray eyes. Then she started to clap excitedly.

" Ooooooh ! Are we gonna have family time!" She gave them a huge grin.

" Can we go to that biggg qidditch field and watch daddy, lyse and scorp play whole we cheer them on mummy ? Can we can we can we?"

" Er..I don't know sweetheart. Its up to your brothers..and your father." Hermione's face gave a look of uneasiness.

" Sounds like fun. But first, breakfast. I'll meet you at the pitch in an hour." He looked deep into Hermione's eyes, and left.

The hour had gone by quite quickly. At the slytherin table, Blaise and Pansy were talking about something..but Draco just tuned them out. He watched Granger and the brats from a distance. He grew jealous at the sight of the Weasel talking animatedly with his daughter, and Potter using his hands to explain how fast he went on his firebolt, to the other two who were very eager to try.

He glared at the sight of them. It was purely disgusting.

" Draco." Someone was calling him. He just ignored and kept glaring at the gryffindorks.

" Draco." There it was again. The annoying call of his name.

" Merlin's balls Draco. You have this utterly disgusting cowlick you need to fix." That brought Draco out of his gaze. He put both his hands on his hair, trying to slick back the monstrosity that was being said. Blaise and Pansy burst out laughing.

" Staring at the mudblood again, Draco?" Blaise peered at him with his dark eyes as he took a sip from his goblet.

" Shut the fuck up Blaise. I'd never waste my eyes on her."

" Well then you've been wasting about 45 minutes already. Plan on going for an hour?" Pansy giggled.

" You guys make me sick." Draco spatted at them. He felt someone tugging on his robes.

" Daddy?" Draco however ignored this, and still glared at his two bestfriends that were grinning at the sight.

" Daddy?" What the fuckity fuck is going on here? First Pansy, and now the ivy brat.

" Daddddddddddyyyyyyyyy." Merlin's balls, he was gonna lose it. Then good old Snape passed by.

" Mister Malfoy. I do believe, your child is calling for you." and he walked away with that leaving all the students in the Great Hall snickering at him, except for Hermione. Her face was etched with nervousness.

" What?" Draco gritted.

" Can you teach me how to play some qidditch?" Ivy asked with her gray eyes getting rounder and bigger. He was being watched by the whole of Hogwarts !

" Mmmmmph." He shooed her away with a flick of his hand.

" Was that a yes yes yes ? Or a no no no?" What the fuck was wrong with this kid. This kid was teasing him.

" Alright whatever, just go back to Granger." He took a bit of his apple, only to spit it back out again when the stupid booger threw her arms around his neck, choking him to death.

" YAYYYYYYYYYYY!" Ivy skipped happily over back to the Gryffindorks with the biggest grin on her face.

" Gone soft, have you now?" Blaise smirked.

" Fuck you."

" Love you too, Dadddddddddddddddyyyy." Blaise again teased. Blaise was then rewarded an apple to his precious head.

Draco waited on the field with various sized broomsticks held in his hand. Lysander roughly grabbed his, and began to circle the field. He tossed two of the smaller ones to Scorpius and Ivy and one to Granger. Though Granger just put her's aside.

" Come on mummy ! Fly with me !" Ivy laughed holding her broom the wrong way with the pricks pointing to the front of her. Hermione laughed looking at the sight of her daughter. Draco smirked. After half an hour, he taught Ivy the simple basics to "qidditch". Though she was barely paying attention, in which she chased butterflies and picked flowers humming happy tunes. Hermione had a skeptic look on her face, full of worry for her two boys high in the air.

Draco flew upwards and stilled in front of them.

" You brats wanna play?" he smirked at them.

" How would we you prat. Theres only be three players." Lysander said arrogantly.

" We'll not be playing a real game. Just catching the snitch." He gritted his teeth refraining from whacking his eldest's head pissed off at his superior attitude. An hour passed, and he saw Hermione on the grass reading a book while Ivy was using her broom to 'catch' the butterflies. He'd go easy on the two boys chasing the snitch to let them win a few fair times, Scorpius never seemed to have noticed, but Lysander showed aggressiveness towards Draco by almost shoving him off his broom and name calling. Scorpius flew towards his mum and sister, tired of the glares between his father and Lysander.

" Don't try so hard." Draco looked up. Lysander's eyes were narrowed towards him.

" What?"

" Trying to play nice and all. It's easy to get on the good sides of Ivy and Scorpius. Maybe mum will even crack. But not me."

" I thought it was the father who was protective over his family."

" I'm sure your'e doing a great job at it." He said sarcastically, flying past him with great speed, knocking the wind out of Malfoy.

Once they were all settled on ground, Hermione had finished her book.

" Well, How was your game?" she gave them a small smile.

" Great." Both the arrogant blondes said, glaring at each other simultaneously.

" You know, I was thinking Granger. That maybe we should walk around Hogsmeade. You know. Then maybe have lunch there." He said smirking over at Lysander. Lysander's face was filled with fury. The tension was oblivious to the rest of them.

" Mum, I'm rather tired. Do you think we can go back to the dorms?" Lysander pleaded.

" Well your father did have a good idea. Why don't we walk around, have lunch and then go back to the dorms?"

" FUNNN! Good idea daddy." Ivy smirked at him. A Malfoy smirk. Malfoy then laughed. Hermione turned toward him. She never heard him laugh like that. It was almost pleasant. Almost.

" Scorpius, what do you think?" Hermione asked.

" Can we go to Spintwitches? And Honeydukes? Maybe even Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?" Draco grimaced. He didn't want to have to deal with the weasel twins.

" Of course we can." Draco replied with a frown on his face, and led the family towards the village. Draco held Ivy in his arms, annoying him with her constant babble right in his ear while holding Scorpius' hand, leaving Hermione and Lysander lingering the back.

" You're not really falling for this, are you?"

" Im wary Lyse. I know Malfoy. He's been torturing me for ages. I'm your mother, the brightest witch of her age. You don't really think I'll go wrong would you?"

" Well, your'e pretty old in my time period. I'm pretty smart myself too. Besides, you are my mother."

" You shut your mouth now Lysander Malfoy. I'm probably not that even old." He smirked at her. Then his face became solemn.

" Just be careful."

" I don't know your father in the future. You do though. Can you honestly tell me they're not the same person? "

" Definitely not."

" People change, sweetheart. Give him a chance." She smiled at him.

The next day, Draco was exhausted. He sat at his same usual spot at the slytherin table and had bags under his eyes.

" Draco. Are you okay?" Pansy asked. He was not okay. He spent so much galleons for the three brats. Including the most evil one, the eldest of them all. Everything he wanted, he got. Draco knew Lysander was teaching him a lesson, until Granger scolded him for taking advantage of his father. It didn't help when he took them out to lunch in a very expensive restaurant. Granger insisted on paying having felt bad for spending so much on the children, but Draco wouldn't have it, and insulted her right then and there.

" Do you even have enough?" Draco had said with an incredulous look on his face. Granger's face had gotten so red.

" Uh oh." Ivy said in her scared tiny voice.

" What's that supposed to mean !" Granger yelled. Things went downhill from there. Going home, there was a huge amount of tension. He looked at his eldest's face, and he was smirking the whole way home.

" Mail's here." Blaise said.

His owl dropped letters from home in his hand. But something caught his eye. There covering his plate of food, was the Daily Prophet with Rita Skeeter's column front page.

" MALFOY HEIR AND MUGGLE BORN HERMIONE GRANGER OUT WITH POSSIBLE FAMILY?" Pictures were flooded of him out on the pitch and in Hogsmeade when he was emptying out his pockets for them. One word was only said in Draco Malfoy's mind.

Fuck.
