"Do you remember that day," Harry asked.
"Yeah, it was fun. I miss those days. Not all of them, but days where we were our age. Where we didn't have to worry about the war. Where we could be kids," I said looking at Harry.
"Don't we all. I remember my first Christmas with my real family. I was shocked and had no idea what to do. You, Ali, and Hermione just told me to act normally, but I was so nervous," Harry said smiling.
"Hey, you two. I remember that day. It was a funny day," Alice said coming from the kitchen.
"Did Sirius send the letter," I asked.
"Yeah and Aunt Andy already sent a reply. She said she would come over tomorrow. I also sent a letter to Hermione, Luna, Fred, and Ron. They sent one back saying they are coming over for dinner. Do you want help me, Uncle Rem, and Papa with dinner," Alice asked. Harry and I looked at each other. We knew better than trying to interfere.
"No, we're good. We'll clean up a bit," I said. Alice smiled and walked back into the kitchen.
"That was a close one. We could have died," Harry said picking up some papers.
"At least Hermione isn't here. We will be died," I said smiling. We laughed as we picked up the living room.
"Hey Harry," a familiar voice said. I turned around and saw Ginny. She had three children with her.
"Ginny, is that you? And these are your kids. Ali showed me pictures. Let me guess. The girl is Lily and the one with dark hair is James. Finally, you must be Albus," I said looking at each child.
"Draco, you've gotten scruffy. I'm glad you're back," Ginny said hugging me. I hugged her back. Soon, the entire room has filled with Luna and Neville's family, George and Angelina's family, Ron and Padma'a family, Fred, and Hermione. I was being hugged and introduced to all of their children. Hermione walked into the kitchen and helped with the cooking.
"So Draco, what've you've been up to," Ron asked.
"I was in America and worked with the Muggle police," I said smiling.
"What are you going to do, now," Neville asked.
"I want to become a healer. I was already studying to do so and almost do my license. I just need to take the test," I said.
"You should do it," Sirius said walking out of the kitchen.
"Is dinner ready yet," Hugo asked.
"Almost. Remus, Alice, and Hermione are making a special dessert. They kicked me out and told me to stay out," Sirius said.
"Love, even I was kicked out. They told me they were making it this time. I really don't feel like getting hexed by those two," Remus said. We all laughed at him and continued talking.
"Alright everyone, dinner is served," Alice said. She brought out her wand and set the table. Hermione waved her wand and the food was moved from the kitchen to the table.
"This looks good," Fred said walking up to Alice.
"And it possibly taste even better than it looks," Alice said giving Fred a kiss. I smiled and asked the question that has been on my mind.
"Why are you two not married yet," I asked. Alice gave me a look, but I ignored her.
"We just never had the time. With her working at Hogwarts and the shop," Fred said. Alice just turned away from him and talked with Luna. What happened? They were always together and had a plan. What was the cause of this? Did they even still love each other? I looked at the others and saw their sorrowful faces. What happened?
"So Draco, what have you been up to," Padma asked.
"I worked in America and I was part of the Muggle Police Force," I said. I soon smiled, once I saw the faces of the others. They were all looking at me in surprised.
"You worked with Muggles. The one, who couldn't understand the difference between a TV and microwave," Ron said laughing. Ron, knew more about Muggles, since Padma is a half-blood.
"I learned. I even earned a Muggle degree in science," I said.
"That most of have been hard," Padma said.
"It was at first, but I got use to the Muggle World. I actually enjoyed it. One thing, I never understood were cars. I never used them," I said.
"How did you last without Magic," Hermione asked with a smirk.
"It was easy. I didn't use it in public, but at my apartment I did," I replied.
"Uncle Draco, what did you do in the Muggle Police," Rose asked.
"I used science to help the police find the criminals," I responded slightly surprised. Why would she call me Uncle? I was a stranger to these children. Why did they act like they knew me?
"Did you miss anything while being gone," Lily asked. I thought for a second.
"There were a lot of things I missed. The cooking for one. All of you. And great deal of more things. I wished I was here to see all of you grow up," I said looking at each child.
"We heard about you from the stories we were told," Hugo said smiling. The rest of dinner was spent in the same way. We all learned more about each other.
"We have to get going," Ron said an hour later. The family left and soon Fred and Alice left.
"I have to go. I'll see you later," Alice said giving me a hug.
"Alright, Ali. Be safe and speak with Fred," I said. Soon, the couple was gone. I hope they are able to work out their issues. Soon, the only people left were Sirius, Remus, Hermione, and myself. Remus and Sirius were in the study, discussing lesson plans. I was left alone with Hermione and it was awkward. We were in the living room and staring in the opposite direction of each other.
"Ali told me you work at the Ministry," I said.
"Yeah, I'm the Minister. I just got elected two years ago," Hermione said smiling.
"How do you like it," I asked.
"It's hard work, but I'm not backing down," she replied. I smiled at her.
"Still as stubborn it seems," I said with a little. Hermione mocked glare at me. I smirked and she smiled back at me.
"You still want to become a Healer," she said.
"Of course. I need to take the exam. Hopefully, I'll be able to become a Healer," I said suddenly feeling stressed.
"I could always help you. I learned many Healing spells when I was helping you to study the first time," Hermione offered.
"But, you're busy now. I don't want to take you away from your work," I said.
"I don't mind. What do you say we start this weekend? I really have to go. I have an early day. It's really great seeing you again," Hermione said moving towards the fireplace.
"Hermione, can we meet up somewhere for lunch. We could eat at somewhere in the Muggle world or we could go to the Leaky Cauldron. Or I could cook. Or we could," I trailed off hearing slight giggles.
"Lunch sounds good. Tomorrow at 1. I'll meet you here," Hermione said before leaving. I smiled and went off to the room I had here
