Learning to Love Again Epilogue 1

By Greeneyes


Two Years Later

'Beautiful.' Hermione's father, Jonathan said as he looked at his daughter who was stood looking at her own reflection in the mirror.

Hermione turned around and smoothed down her white wedding dress and smiled. Her dress fit her perfectly. The princess cut on the corset sat perfectly showing just the right amount of cleavage but not a lot and the skirt flowed over her waist and made her look slim and tall (taller than she was).

She smiled up at her father and felt tears grouping around her lashes. She waved her hand in front of her face trying to stop the tears from falling.

'You'll be fine sweetheart.' Jonathan said as he pulled Hermione into a hug. 'I have ever trust in you and Draco. You are both amazing parents and the love you share for each other is beautiful Hermione.'

Hermione kissed her father's cheek and pulled away before she starting crying again.

'Are you ready?' Jane Granger said as she poked her head around the door.

'Ready as I'll ever be.' Hermione said softly as she took hold of her father's left arm.

'Let's go then.' Jonathan said.

The Granger family made their way down to the reception room at the magnificent Hotel that the Wedding was being held. As they reached the double doors they were met but the bridal party.

Hermione had three bridesmaids, Luna, Ginny and Pansy. They all looked amazing in their lilac dresses. Each had different styles to fit their figures, Ginny's in particular due to her being nearly seven months pregnant.

'Mummy, don't I look pretty.' A six year old Olivia said as she spun round in her lilac flower girl dress.

'Absolutely beautiful.' Hermione said as she bent down to her daughter which was pretty hard in her dress.

Hermione placed a kiss on Olivia's cheek and whispered into her ear 'Are you sure about mummy marrying Draco?'

Olivia nodded enthusiastically and wrapped her arms around Hermione. 'After you're married he's going to be my daddy.' She said smiling. 'I love Draco.'

'I love him too.' Hermione said as she kissed her daughter's head one last time.

The soft wedding music began and the white double doors to the reception room opened. As the doors opened you could see everyone seated stand up ready for the bride. In the distance Hermione could see Draco stood with Blaise. Butterflies in her stomach began to go mad.

Olivia was first. She started a slow walk/skip down the aisle smiling at everyone. She loved the attention. Draco turned around to see the little girl walking towards him; so much like her mother he thought.

As she reached the bottom Draco walked down the steps and placed a kiss on Olivia's head.

'I love you Olivia.' He said softly

'I love you to Daddy.' She said as she walked over to sit with her 'new' grandparents Lucius and Narcissa.

Next one after the other, Luna, Ginny and Pansy walked down. Draco smiled at all of them and then turned back around to face the minister.

'Ready.' Jonathan asked again.

'Yes.' Hermione answered and they began the slow walk down aisle.

Everyone watched the beautiful brunette bride walk down the aisle on her father's arm. There was no denying it, she was stunning.

At the top of the alter, Blaise turned around and smiled. He then whispered into Draco's ear. 'She looks amazing' which made Draco smile.

Hermione and her father made their way up the steps to the alter and Draco looked to his left side to see Hermione.

Hermione smiled at Draco through her white lace veil, tears were welling and she was trying to keep it together.

'Magical.' Draco mouthed to her silently which is nodded and smiled at him and then looked towards the minister.

'We are gathered here today to witness the bonding of Draco Lucius Malfoy and Hermione Jane Granger.'

The Wedding was a beautiful affair; perfect for Draco and Hermione. All their close family and friends were there and it was how they wished. The three course dinner after the ceremony was perfect and everyone enjoyed. The speeches were weepy and funny especially Blaise's stories of when Draco and Hermione were in school.

There first dance was simply breathtaking. The two danced like it was only them in the room; they only had eyes for each other, no one else.

'You look breathtaking.' Draco said as he pulled her closer to him as they danced.

'Thank you. I'm glad you like the dress.' She said as she rested her head on his shoulder. 'You look rather handsome in your suit; I told you the light grey would look nice on you, glad you took my advice.'

'Don't I always Mrs Malfoy.' Draco said smirking.

'Mrs Malfoy...I like the sound of that.' She said smiling up at Draco. 'The day has been perfect hasn't it?'

'Absolutely.' He said as he looked over to Scorpius and Olivia who were copying Hermione and Draco by dancing beside them.

'Our little family.' Hermione said as she watched the two.

'It soon won't be so little though will it?' He said as he looked at Hermione.

'How...How did you know? I wasn't going to tell you until tonight?' She said surprised.

'Well...I had my suspicions but this morning a letter arrived at the Manor from St. Mungo's I thought it was Scorpius's appointment letter and opened it and to my surprise it was for you with a pregnancy scan. How far are you along?' he asked.

'About six weeks.' She said smiling. 'Are you happy?'

'Of course I am!' he said as he kissed her. 'This is the best ever. Another child, our child!'

Hermione smiled and pressed a kiss to his lips and whispered 'I love you Draco Malfoy, my husband, my lover, my savoir.'

'I love you too Hermione Malfoy.' He said with pure emotion.


Hermione and Draco spent a week alone in Mexico and then another week in Paris with Scorpius and Olivia. The two weeks were pure bliss and good quality family time. Livy and Scorp loved going on boat rides in Paris and seeing the sights, it was a perfect holiday for the last time as a family of four before the new baby came along.

When they arrived back from their honeymoon, Hermione and Draco went to St. Mungo's for her six week scan.

'Everything looks perfect. How was your pregnancy with your daughter?' the midwife asked.

'It was fine, no problems really. She was born early though.' Hermione answered from the bed.

'That's fine.' She said as she scanned over Hermione's still flat and tanned stomach. 'I will see you again at 12 weeks and then at 20 weeks when we can find out the sex if you wish, you don't have to and then again at 32 weeks and then 36 and that should be it.'

'Okay.' She said as she sat up and pulled her top down.

The next few weeks only Hermione and Draco knew. After their 12 week scan they invited around both sets of parents and told them they were going to be Grandparents again. Narcissa and Jane were both ecstatic and both Grandfather's to be were smiling stupidly throughout the meal at their new Grandchild.

Draco and Hermione told Scorpius and Olivia by giving them the scan photo. The both looked confused.

'What's this Daddy?' Olivia asked. 'It looks like an alien.'

Hermione giggled at that comment. 'Not an alien Livy, that's a baby, mummy's baby. Mummy and Dra...Daddy are having a baby.'

'Why?' Scorpius asked.

'Well mate...because we wanted a baby. Wouldn't it be fun to have a brother to play Quidditch with or a sister to play with?' he asked.

'Maybe but I have Olivia.' He replied.

'That's right and you'll have another person to play with once the baby is a little bit older.' Hermione said.

'Is the baby in your tummy like Auntie Ginny's baby?' Olivia asked.

'That's right.' Hermione said smiling.

'So how did it get in there?' Scorpius asked which made both parents go white.

Hermione pregnancy flew by; they decided not to find out the gender of the baby as they wanted a surprise.

Hermione went into Labour on the 21st December and after six hours of painful contractions; she welcomed a baby boy into the world.

Wyatt Draco Malfoy was born at 11:59pm on the 21st of December. He resembled his Father and brother closely except for his dark brown eyes like his mothers and sister. He was a rather big baby at nearly 9lbs but all the pain was worth it.

He settled into the family perfect. He was a laid back baby and his brother and sister loved him; they loved holding him and kissing him, sometimes Hermione had to stop them.

He was the apple of Narcissa's eye. She loved snuggling with her new Grandson. He was just 'scrumptious' in her words and often sneaked into his nursery to just watch him sleep.

Life for the Malfoy's was perfect and in two years they had married and welcomed another baby into the family. They didn't know what was in the future but at the moment everything was perfect.


AU: Here is the first installment of the promised four part epligoue. So here we see the Malfoy's get married and welcome a baby boy into their lives what's next for them? What about Ron? More Children? Divorce? Astoria?
