DISCLAIMER: Only the plot!

Chapter Twelve

"I now pronounce you man and wife," said the priest, "You may now, Mr Black, kiss the bride."

Hermione and Draco clapped form where they sat as Narcissa kissed Sirius, her now husband. It was a year after the war. Hermione and Draco were happily married with two healthy babies, a boy: Matthew Harry Malfoy and a girl Kathleen Josephine Malfoy. Hermione bounced Kathleen on her knew grinning as Narcissa and Sirius walked past. Kathleen gurgled and laughed one finger twirling through her blonde curly locks. She stood up and followed everyone out of the church, Draco behind her carrying Matthew who was looking around him with wide grey eyes and a mop of brown hair.

"Wave to Grandma," said Hermione as she waved to Sirius and Narcissa, "Say bye, bye Grandma!"

Kathleen gave a squeal and giggled at Draco who tickled her.

"Ready to head home?" he asked as Matthew began pulling at his tie, "Before Mattie decides to take off all my clothes?"

Hermione laughed and nodded, "I'll meet you there."

Hermione closed her eyes and holding Kathleen tightly they apperated to the families four bedroom home in Hogsmeade. Hermione had finally sold her parents place and used the money to buy her Draco and the twins a nice place in London, near Diagon Alley.

Hermione placed Kathleen in the lounge room as she prepared to get dinner going. Draco arrived a few seconds later and placed Matthew with his sister. He walked into the kitchen and kissed Hermione on the cheek before pinching some carrot. Hermione turned to him smiling before kissing him.

"I love you," smiled Hermione, "I'm so happy your Mum is finally with a wonderful man. Even if they did grow up as cousins."

"Its' odd I know, but it's not like they are blood related or anything," said Draco taking off his tie, "Do you want me to get the twins organised with dinner, a bath and then into bed?"

Hermione nodded and kissed Draco again, "Ginny and Harry will be here soon. Gosh, she must be due any day now."

"She looks ready to explode," commented Draco as he walked over to the lounge room and scooped the giggling twins up with one in each arm. He placed Matthew in his blue high chair and Kathleen into her pink one. Whistling he got out two tins of food, both mixed vegies with bits of chicken. He heated it up a bit and sat on the stool in front of them, helping them eat by guiding the spoon as they ate.

Hermione moved onto cooking the chicken breasts and smiled at her loving husband, wondering how she ever got so lucky.

"Matthew where is it?" cried Kathleen in hysterics as she ran from her room over to his looking for her ribbon, "It's my lucky ribbon and I need to it make sure I get into Gryffindor!"

"Fine, have it you baby," said Matthew giving his sister back her room.

Kathleen threw Matthew a furious look with her brown eyes and stormed across the hall too her room and slammed the door shut.

Hermione sat in the kitchen and shook her head as Ginny chuckled sipping her coffee.

"I sometimes wonder how my mother put up with us all," said Ginny as she watched her own daughter, Molly, play with Hermione's nine-year-old daughter, Jacinta.

"Those two generally get along but it's the nerves of heading to Hogwarts tomorrow. Is Fleur getting Elizabeth all set?"

Ginny nodded, "She is like you. Wants Lizzie to get into Gryffindor, just like her father. Harry is the same. He wants Molly, Lily and James to be Gryffindor's."

Hermione chuckled and stood up with her empty cup, "Well Draco isn't fussed, so his says anyway. I think he is secretly hoping that they get into Slytherin and with the way those two fight, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if that is where they end up."

"Preteens these days… they act like we did when we were fourteen these days."

"Hmmm, helping Harry prepare for the Triwizard tournament, get a date for the Yule Ball?" said Hermione as the front door opened with Draco shouting out he was home.

Ginny stood, "I should get going. Harry should be back home with the two kids soon. Come on Molly."

"Okay. Bye Molly! Say hello to your brother and sister for me."

"Bye Aunty Mione. Bye Uncle Draco, bye Jacinta," waved Molly as Ginny gave her black hair a playful tug, "M-um!"

Ginny laughed, "Bye," then left with Molly.

"Hello my sexy lady," murmured Draco as he kissed Hermione on the cheek then lips.

"Eww! Dad! Mum! Get a room," cried Jacinta.

Hermione looked past Draco smiling at Jacinta, "Go and see if your brother and sister have finished packing. I'll be up to see if they have everything sorted out soon."

Jacinta nodded and ran up stairs her brown hair falling out of its ponytail. Hermione turned to Draco and wrapped her arms around him smiling.

"Can you believe we are in our thirties now?" murmured Hermione smiling up at her husband of eleven, blissful, happy years.

Draco chuckled, "It seems like yesterday we were getting married and then rushing you off to have Matt and Kat."

"Yeah, trust those two to arrive on the big day."

"They are packed Mum," called Jacinta, "When can I go to Hogwarts?"

Hermione sighed and rested her head against Draco's chest.

"I'll get dinner cooked," said Draco, "You just deal with the kids and tell them to behave."

Hermione smiled and kissed the man she loved on the lips, "Thanks."

"Mum!" cried Jacinta, "When do I go to Hogwarts?"

"Jacinta, come and help me in the kitchen," called Draco, "Dad needs a helping hand with the muggle gear."

"Hey Sweetheart," smiled Hermione entering Kathleen's blue and white walled room, "All set?"

Kathleen nodded and gestured to her trunk, her brown eyes meeting her mother's, "I'm nervous Mum."

Hermione walked over to her daughter and hugged her tightly before sitting down beside her, "So was I. But I can tell you this; you will fall in love with Hogwarts. You and Matthew will be fine. And you both are lucky because you have each other."

"But Matt acts like a jerk, Mum."

"Matt is being a boy. He loves you very much. You two have had each other your whole lives and have many, many more years to create an unbreakable bond."

Kathleen smiled and ran a hand through her annoying blonde curly hair. Hermione checked through her daughter's packed gear and nodded, smiling.

"It's all there."

"Yep," said Kathleen grinning, "I'm gonna go help Dad and Jazzy."

"Alright," said Hermione leaving behind her daughter and walking across the hall to Matthew's green and white room. She knocked before entering and saw Matthew hastily folding his grey school pants up, "Not packed yet?"

"Almost Mum," he said placing his pants on top of his schoolbooks, "Right, well that is done. Why do we need so many books?"

"To learn and become what you want," said Hermione reasonably, "It all seems a lot now but when you get there and sit your first lesson's, I can assure you, you will understand. Besides you have Aunty Minerva there… but you must address her as Professor McGonagall."

Matthew nodded, "And I have Kat as well."

Hermione smiled, "You need to let her know she has you as well. These past few weeks, you two have been doing nothing but arguing."

"I know. But I am nervous an-"

"So is your sister."

Matthew nodded and sighed, "I suppose I should go say sorry."

Hermione nodded and patted Matthew on his back. As he left, she went through his trunk and double checked everything and was surprised to find a picture of the family taken a few months ago at Easter. Hermione smiled and placed it back under his school shirts.

"Hurry up!" called Hermione grabbing the car keys, "Kat! Your hair looks fine!"

"Okay!" cried Kathleen running down the staircase as she shrugged on her pink cardigan, "I'm ready."

Hermione looked at Draco and shook her head. Draco smiled and ushered the three children out to the car as Hermione shut the door.

Finally, twenty minutes later they pulled into a parking space at Kingscross Station. Draco grabbed a trolley and together, they loaded the trunks onto the trolley. Hermione lead them through the station as she held onto Jacinta's hand tightly. At the entrance to 9 and ¾ she looked around her before sending Draco in with the trolley and Matthew. Then, holding onto Kathleen and Jacinta, Hermione ran in after him.

The sound of the hissing train filled Hermione's ear's bringing a smile to her face. Draco looked at her grinning as well while Kathleen and Matthew looked nervous.

"Mum… do we travel on the train?" asked Matthew with wide grey eyes.

"The Hogwarts Express," replied Hermione, "Here," she pulled out her money pouch and handed them five galleon's each, "Some money for the food trolley."

The twins grinned happily and pocketed the money as the whistle blew signalling for time to board the train.

"Okay," said Hermione, as her two eldest children looked alarmed, "Time to go."

Kathleen and Matthew grabbed their trunks and headed over to the train with Draco, Hermione, and Jacinta. Hermione and Draco hugged the twins tightly and told them supporting words. Jacinta hugged them both, gloating she would be heading to Hogwarts in two years time.

Once on the train, the two found a compartment and waved to their family as the train began moving.

"Write to us!" cried Hermione, "Tell us what house you both got into!"

Hermione sighed as she shut Jacinta's bedroom door after helping her go to bed. She headed down stairs to the lounge room and flopped down on the lounge beside Draco, who was watching a news update.

"Oh its so quiet," sighed Hermione glancing at the TV before looking back at Draco.

Draco looked at Hermione and nodded, "It's a wonderful yet… sad thing."

Hermione smiled and nodded, "Our two babies off to school already."

As Hermione finished the sentence a owl flew through the window carrying a letter. It dropped the letter in Hermione's lap and flew out the window with a hoot. Hermione picked the letter up and smiled.

"Dear Mum and Dad. Love Kat and Matt."

Hermione unfolded the letter and held it so Draco could read it as well.

Dear Mum and Dad,

Kat here and Matt! Yes and Matt. Well Hogwarts is great, just like you both said it would be. Yeah! Hagrid said there is a Giant Squid in the Lake! And dangerous animals in the forest! And I promise Matt won't go exploring! Anyway, I started this letter just before Matt came along. We both want to tell you that we got into a Hogwarts House, obviously. Well no kidding Kat. Oh and Kat already likes a boy! His name is Mark and he looks like that Quidditch star, Oliver Wood. I do not like him, Matthew! Look we both got into Ravenclaw. Aunty Minerva was surprised as she was expecting Gryffindor or Slytherin. But Ravenclaw is a wonderful house already. Plus I get to wear my favourite colour. I don't see what is so good about wearing blue. You just have to look at the sky to see the same colour. Whatever Matt. Well we best go. I love you both and so does Matt, not that he'll admit it. It's a girl thing to say, thankyou!

Love Kat

From your son, Matt.
