Chapter 10

Happily Ever After

Draco was woken up abruptly from loud piercing poundings on his wooden door. He sat up in his moth eaten bed rubbing his eyelids. Who the devil is that at this time of night? He thought grumpily getting out of bed and crossing the bedroom to the door.

When he opened the door Tom, the bartender and Inn keeper, was standing looking skeptical as if wondering if he should be here. He didn't say anything immediately, he stood silently. Draco growled.

"Yes?"

"Ahem... uh well there is a young lady here to see you."

Draco's eyes widened and his eyebrows lifted.

"Who?"

"Oh I didn't ask her name."

"What does she look like?" Draco asked supposing that it was Hermione.

Though why wouldn't Hermione just come straight up?

"She's uh tall, dark red hair... pretty."

Draco growled, this woman did not sound like Hermione.

"What does she want with me?"

"She says that she has to talk to you about something. Something serious."

Draco's eyes suddenely widened even more. That Ministry worker's daughter had resembeld exactly like what Tom had just described. He was suddenly choked up.

"Uhh could you ask her her name then come back and tell me it?" Draco asked.

"She says that it's a matter of life and death sir." Tome said quickly.

Draco growled.

"Fine. Take me to her."

Tom led the way down the staircase to the pub. It was nearly empty only two witches sat by the bar and by the fire sat... Olga. Draco nearly jumped back in surprise. What on earth was she doing here at this hour?

"She's the one over by the-"

"I see her." Draco said crossing the pub to her.

Olga stood up from her chair and looked at Draco sadly. Suddenly his mood changed. Something was wrong. He could sense it. Then he noticed that Olga had tear stained eyes and cheeks and that she was shuddering.

"Olga what it is?" He asked highly alarmed at this point.

"Meester... it-it's Mizz-Mizzez..."

Draco's eyes widened.

"Hermione!?"

She nodded.

"What happened?" His mind instantly went to Flint.

"She-she fell down ze stairs and is hurt 'ary badly. She's at S-S-St. Mungo's... you 'ave to come."

"Right now. Lets go."

He jumped into the fire and roared:

"ST. MUNGOS!"

When he walked out of the fire into the white waiting room he waited for Olga anxiously to floo. She came right after him and quickly led him up to the sixth floor.

They walked into a clinic and Olga surged down the hallway until they came to a room that Hermione was not in, but Draco's three children and a man with dirty blond hair.

"Where is she?" Draco demanded irratably.

"They took her back and they'll be back as soon as they know something." The man answered.

"Who are you?" Draco roared at the man.

"I'm-"

"This iz Leo, my boyfriend. I asked him to watch zee kids while I went and woke you."

Draco growled in frustration. All three children were asleep.

"What do they know?" Draco demanded.

"Who?" Leo asked.

"The children!"

"They just think that we are here because Mizz has a bad tummy ache."

"My children are not stupid enough to believe that." Draco growled.

"Meester, please sit down and take some deep breaths-"

"When did they take her back?"

"Twenty minutes ago." Olga answered.

"TWENTY MINUTES AGO!?" Draco shouted.

Leo and Olga both flinched.

"Why didn't you come and get me before that!? So I could have seen her before she went back?" He yelled at Olga.

"Don't you dare yell at her. She had to bring Hermione and the three kids here, wait with Hermione, then wait for me to come over to watch your children for you before she could wake you up and bring you here."

"You could've owled me!" Draco yelled.

"A letter wouldn't have woken you up." Olga said.

"Why didn't you send this guy to wake me up then?" He shouted pointing at Leo.

"Because you don't know him and I zought you would 'ant me to tell yuu! Meester can you just be grateful that I brought your wife and children here and watched them all succesfully?" Olga yelled back.

Dante and Ava had stirred awake and were watching Draco frightfully. Draco noticed them watching and suddenly wanted to kick himself. He slowly lowered down to sit on a chair and exhaled deeply.

Ava looked more terrified than he had ever seen her before. Dante too looked the scaredest he had ever been in his life.

"I... I'm sorry Olga." He suddenly said his neck drooping down and putting his face into his hands.

Ava got down from the chair she had been laying in, cautiously she walked over to Draco. She put her hand on top of his knee and looked up at his hand shielded face. Then with her baby hands she pulled his hands away from his face.

He was crying, tears were rolling down his alabaster cheeks. Ava climbled up into his lap and put her head against his warm heart beating chest. Draco wrapped his arms around her fully and embraced her tightly.

Ava closed her eyes and made a sweet purring sound that said she was safe. Dante too, suddenly ran over from his chair and jumped into Draco's lap.

"Are you scared Dad?" He asked Draco.

"Yes son... and worried."

The three hugged each other tightly missing Hermione. There was a light tap on the door and Draco looked up to see a Healer watching them with a smile.

"You are Draco Malfoy are you not?"

Draco stood up putting Ava and Dante in Olga's arms.

"Yes I am."

"Follow me." The Healer said.

Draco followed the man outside the door and into the hallway. When the Healer turned around Draco expected him to tell him something utterley horrible. Instead he smiled and said the most unexpected thing Draco coud've imagined.

"She and the baby are both fine."

Draco's heart skipped a beat. He stared at the Healer like he was some disgusting blemish you couldn't look away from for a long time then said.

"B-baby?"

"Yes... she and the baby are both fine. She suffered no injuries... just pain from that potion. And she'll have to continue taking that potion every morning for the next five days."

Draco was too stunned to speak.

"Baby? Potion? What?"

"Would you like to see her?" The Healer asked ignoring his questions.

"Yes!" Draco said.

The Healer walked further down the hallway until they came up to a bright orange door and walked behind it. Hermione was in the first room on the right laying in a bed on her side.

Draco walked into the room and the Healer shut the door. Hermione sat up, her eyes connected with Draco's and widened. Draco stared at her face then slowly moved down to her belly. Hermione saw him do this and knew that he now was aware.

"Is it true?" He asked her breathlessly.

"Are you really pregnant?"

Hermione was silent then she slowly nodded,

"Yes."

Draco felt happiness surge through him.

"And you're taking some potion daily for this? Why?"

"I went to a Healer and he told me that I was at a high risk of miscarring... so I take the potion every morning for two weeks and then the baby and I will be cured."

Draco took this in and was slightly even more overwhelmed.

"When did you find out?"

Was his next question and he took a few steps closer to her while he waited for her to answer him. Hermione began to tear up and mumbled:

"I took a test before breakfast the morning after Flint's party. I was going to tell you right after breakfast and right after we made up..."

A heavy weight of guilt punctured Draco through the chest ruthlessly. He gave a mere quiet gasp at his idiocy.

"Oh Hermione," he walked to her bed and hauled her into his arms.

Hermione fell against him and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.

"I'm so sorry Hermione... but I'm so happy to... for the baby... and because you're ok... you feel ok?"

"I'm fine," she sobbed gripping him tighter.

"And I love you so much too." She mumbled into his chest.

They looked up at one another and their lips met in a much needed soundless kiss. Draco picked her up fully from the bed and she wrapped her legs around him. Draco deepened the kiss, she groaned, he ran his hands down her body and he groaned.

"Draco I want you to come home... I'm so scared. I've been taking this potion and I'm always in pain and I'm scared and can't manage without you... and now cause I'm pregnant I'm so horny and emotional and I miss you and I can't live without you and I-"

"Shh." He murmured.

"But Draco I'm so-"

"Its alright now love... lets just go home."

Hermione nodded and buried her face back into his chest.

- - - - - - - - - -

Draco went home that evening and stayed home for the next following weeks. The Quidditch season was becoming more intense and therefore called for more Quidditch practices. Draco hated this because he had to see Flint more than he would have liked.

"Hermione," he said one day before leaving for practice.

"Yes?"

"I think that I want this to be my last season of Quidditch."

"What! You've only played two seasons!"

"Well with the Bullets I meant." He said quickly.

"Oh... well... I think that would be... perfect."

"I think so too... I just can't stand to look at Flint."

"But if you were to join another team than you would have to play against him." Hermione said.

"Wouldn't that be kind of-"

"Perfect. Because I hate the bloke and I would be motivated to play better." Draco said realizing this.

"Well... yes," Hermione said.

"I think you're right."

"Well I think that's what's going to happen... but I have to go to practice now love."

He bent down and kissed the top of Hermione's head and rubbed her belly. She smiled.

"Go." She muttered.

"See you at dinner."

Hermione had a date to meet Ginny that day in Muggle London for lunch with the kids. She dressed herself in a nice flowing dress, the children in Muggle clothes and put Adrian in his Muggle stroller.

They met Ginny at a cafe on the corner of a street. Ginny was delighted to see the children and entertained them while Hermione fed Adrian.

"You know that I am going to have a baby just like you two?"

Ginny asked the twins. Their mouths fell open.

"We're not babies!" Dante claimed.

Ginny smiled,

"But you're little aren't you?"

"No I'm a big girl," Ava said as if Ginny were a stupid person.

Ginny smiled and looked at Hermione who was grinning also. Adrian hiccuped and Hermione looked back at him quickly and wiped up his baby food covered face.

"Your mummy is going to have a baby too," Ginny told Dante and Ava.

"Yes!" Ava screamed causing many people in the cafe to look at her.

"Mummy told us yesterday! It's going to be a little sister like me!" Ava said.

"No it's not Ava." Dante said.

"It'll be another little brother like me."

"No it isn't!" Ava hissed.

Dante stuck his tongue out at her, she stuck hers out at right back at him. Hermione and Ginny ignored them.

"So Draco moved back in for good then?" Ginny asked in a hushed voice.

"Yea," Hermione nodded.

"I needed him while I was pregnant, but thank Merlin I finally finished taking that potion... it was horrible. The most horrible utter pain that I've ever been in." She said somberly.

Ginny began stirring her drink around in its cup with her straw. She looked distracted.

"What is it Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"Something happen?"

"No... not really... well I mean yes, but it's just that for the first time I'm actually... worried about having a kid. I mean... it is a huge dea."

Hermione chuckled.

"There are days," she said looking at her three children.

"And ummm... what if I ever did something wrong and they would end up dysfunctional for the rest of their lives or what if Harry... did what Draco did."

Hermione looked up at her.

"Harry would never do that."

"You would say the same about Draco before he did."

Hermoine didn't exactly know how to take this.

"Ginny the only person that you can trust without doubt is yourself. Your loved ones, the ones that you trust, are the hardest ones to judge."

Ginny thought about this and nodded.

"I'm just worried."

"Don't be. There is a 0.00001 chance that Harry would ever do that. He and Draco are very different."

They spent the rest of lunch discussing baby plans and entertaining the kids. After lunch Ginny took the kids except Adrian with her to spend the night.

"We'll bring them back tomorrow afternoon!" Ginny called.

Hermione nodded and waved to them as she crossed the street with Adrian. When she came home the house was empty, Olga was still out with Leo and probably wouldn't be returning until tomorrow night or Monday.

Hermione took Adrian out back to the garden where the fairies swarmed them, all looking at Adrian. Hermione carried him through the garden as she admired its beauty.

At a quarter to seven Hermione fed the baby and put him down to sleep. She went downstairs in her pajamas to read a book and wait for Draco to get home so they could eat dinner together.

Hermione was in the library curled up on one of the sofas reading her book avidly when the two doors to the library were flung open to reveal Draco standing tall and broad. She grinned and snapped her book closed.

He crossed the marble floor to her and smiled down at her. She stood up from the couch and was suddenly embraced by him and lifted up off of the ground into his arms, wedding style. Hermione squealed.

"How did I know you'd be here love?" He said deeply.

Hermione chuckled and began kissing his neck. Draco groaned and gripped her petite body tighter in his hands. Hermione kissed down to his collar bone, up to his jaw line then smack dab on the lips.

Draco groaned heavily and flipped her in the air so that her chest was against him and her legs were wrapped around his waist. They were kissing heavily now.

"Where-where's the-the kids?" He groaned through kisses.

"G-Ginny and... ugh... H-H-Harry's... hmmm..." she moaned as he kissed down her throat to her chest.

"Floor. Now." She growled against his mouth.

Draco fell to his knees and Hermione pushed him backward so that he was laying flat and she was straddling him. Draco grinned up at her.

"I like where you're going with this."

Hermione pulled off her slinky pajama shirt to reveal a lacy bra covering her breasts. Draco groaned and gripped her hips with his large hands.

"Mmmm... you smell so good baby... why?"

"I sh-showered after Quidditch..."

"You should always show for now on." She said with a wink.

"Anything for you love."

"Alright then make passionate love to me." She said.

"Gladly," he grumbled with a grin before reaching down to yank off her matching slinky pajama shorts.

"Pants baby," she groaned as she slid off her panties.

Draco reached down and in a frenzy unbuckled his pants. When successfully undone he whipped the pants down along with his snitch covered boxers. Hermione leaned down onto him pushing his shirt up along his chest.

He thrust up, she went down and they were one. Hermione moaned gratefully as he rocked his hips up into her. Draco groaned when she caught his pace and moved with him down onto him. He watched her from above him and leaned up to kiss her.

Hermione took control over the kiss. She clutched one hand around the back of his neck and plunged her tongue deep into his mouth. Draco's hands run up her back then down to her buttocks where he squeezed.

Hermione gasped and pulled out of the kiss. Draco suddenly took control, he flipped them over so that he was between her thighs penetrating her to the very core. Hermione gasped again and ran her hands up his chest, over his shoulders and down his now slippery back.

He pushed hard into her, she cried his name, he did it again and she sunk her nails into his back. He growled exciting her further. Right when she was overpowered by an earth shattering orgasm he silenced her lips with his own.

Later they lay beside one another on the floor of the library in the aftermath panting. Hermione regained control of her breathing and rolled onto her side to stare at Draco. He looked sideways at her.

"I'm starving." She said.

He laughed.

"What?" She asked sitting up.

"Nothing... it's just... that's not what I had expected you to say. I would have expected, 'that was brilliant' or 'again' or something along those lines love."

She chuckled standing up from the floor. She was completely nude, save her lacy black bra.

"You are an ego centric bastard you know."

He stood up as well and shuffled to her.

"But you love."

She nodded.

"I do... very much."

They kissed deeply then ran to the kitchen, in their undergarments, to eat the left overs from dinner Olga had made last night. After dinner the pair checked on Adrian then went to their bedroom.

They were up until nearly four am making up for some lost time in the bed. Hermione lay across Draco's chest sweaty and panting as Draco smoked a cigar and stroked her hair.

"You are so trashy with that thing," she said rising up and looking at his cigar.

"It relaxes me... wanna puff?"

"No thank you. And you will never smoke in front of our children." She added in a motherly tone.

Draco rolled his eyes and dragged her back to him.

"Another round love?" He asked hopefully.

"Draco its four... I'm going to sleep."

"Awww Hermione-"

"Four am Draco!" She hissed.

He looked put out and sadly put out his stogy.

The next afternoon Draco left for practice and Harry and Ginny returned Dante and Ava.

"I rode Uncle Harry's broomstick mum!" Dante said pulling and yanking on her skirt wildly.

"Really? That's lovely." She gave a sharp look at Harry who mildly shrugged, but looked slightly fearful.

"Gin's told me the new Hermione." Harry said grinning.

"Congratulations." He said hugging her.

Hermione snuggled up to Harry and smiled.

"Yea... there'll be four of them running around this place pretty soon. Imagine that, what fun. But you'll be having one of your own running around too soon." She said promptly.

Harry grinned.

"Have you chosen a name?" Hermione asked them.

"Well... we both like James a lot."

Hermione looked directly at Harry and a broad grin spread across her face.

"Oh that's lovely Harry just like your dad."

He nodded.

"Have you picked a fourth name?" Ginny asked her.

"Well I don't know the sex yet, but for a girl I like... Abigail or Audrey. For a boy... possibly we'll follow your foot steps and name him Draco?" Hermione said.

"When will you find out if it's a boy or a girl?"

"My next appointment I suppose." Hermione guessed.

"That's wonderful, but I ought to be off now, I've got to get to work, the kids were great by the way." Ginny said hugging Hermione.

"Thank you for taking them Gin," Hermione replied.

"It was no biggy. Harry are you staying here?" Ginny asked him.

He looked at Hermione who nodded.

"Yea I'll see you back home after you get off work." He kissed her then watched her floo waving goodbye.

"Lets have some tea," Hermione suggested.

"Excellent."

An hour later Harry and Hermione sat in the drawing room, all three children playing on the floor, as they talked about their old days at Hogwarts laughing wildly.

"I can't believe you and Cho had a thing. It was very... unexpected. I never would have guessed her to be your type." Hermione said sipping her tea.

"She was pretty and she's beautiful still... but Ginny I love much more." He said smiling.

"And Ron and Lavender, sixth year. Do you remember that?" Hermione said laughing hysterically.

"And they've ended up together through it all... it's a shock." She continued.

Harry laughed.

"I do remember, she sent a him a large ugly necklace fore Christmas that said 'sweetheart' if I remember correctely."

"I remember it too!" Hermione squealed.

"That hideous chain necklace yes!"

"I wonder if he still wears it for her?" Harry wondered aloud.

Hermione broke out in hysterical fits of laughter.

"Oh Harry thanks for staying, we haven't talked in so long." She said snuggling up to him.

Harry smiled wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"Yea... times flown by hasn't it." He mumbled.

"Seems like yesterday you were a little girl reading books in the library any chance you got. Now you're a mum of three and one on the way... I simply can't believe it."

Hermione sighed.

"I hope that I have another girl. Draco's got two boys, I want two girls... are you happy that you're having a boy?" She asked looking upside down at him.

"I'm thrilled it's a boy, remember at St. Mungos... I lost control a bit."

She laughed remembering.

"You had good reason Harry. Every man wants a son I think."

He nodded.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Harry left after an early dinner and Draco came home earlier than usual that night. He swept into the dining room while they were all eating looking flustered. Hermione rose up from her chair and pecked his lips.

"Welcome hom... baby what is it?"

"Ughh just Flint... he's a real son-of-"

"Shh!" She hissed hurriedly.

"Children."

Draco shut his mouth quickly then laughed. Hermione looked taken aback by him.

"What is so funny?"

"Aww nothing... you just make my day by doing little sweet things like that." He replied grinning.

Her face softened and she hugged him.

"We'll talk about it later, now come eat."

Later that evening in bed Draco explained the situation to Hermione.

"They want to up my salary to a ten million galleons more a season." He told her.

She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why?"

"Because I think Flint got a hint that I wanted this to be my last season and he doesn't want to loose me."

"Well Draco we don't need that money, we're filthy rich even without you playing Quidditch."

"I know, I don't care about that money. I just wonder are they making me this offer because they want me to stay... or does Flint want me to stay because of something else... like you."

Her eyes widened.

"Oh I see."

"I didn't mean to upset you," he said quickly.

"No you didn't we have to talk about this seriously." She took a deep breath.

"I don't want you to play another seaon with Flint. Case closed."

He nodded firmly.

"I agree."

"Then why is this such a big deal?" She asked standing up from the bed and walking across the room to stand in front of him.

"I'm just angry because I think he's trying to use me to get to you. And it makes me both angry and sick to the stomach.

"Are you ok since he... that night?" He asked her seriously.

She nodded.

"It's ok Draco... it wouldn't have been though if you hadn't been there."

She hugged him tightly. Draco felt some tears well up and sting his eyes at the thought.
