A/n: Oneshot! Random I know but inspiration just struck me. So this is An Unexpected Twist's… Set after Aquila starts her final year in Hogwarts.

"Aquila! Orion! Where are you?" Hermione hollered from the living room.

She frowned when silence greeted her.

Odd… usually they'd be running downstairs by now.

Warily, she climbed the steps of White Rose Hall, Draco's, well now their, holiday home. She loved it here because it was homely, warm, and free of the darkness that haunted them when they were younger.

"Aquila I called your name – oh my god!" Hermione opened the door, forgetting to knock, only to shriek and shut it firmly again.

Her daughter was naked and in bed with James Potter, in the throes of passion. They were so into it they didn't even realize she was there. She knew this day would come, just not so… bluntly.

"Mi, are you okay? I heard you scream. Why is A's door shut? Isn't Potter Junior over?" Draco asked hurriedly, moving to open the door.

Hermione jumped and stopped him.

"Don't," she said, the warning in her eyes sending a clear message to her husband, who started laughing.

"You seriously walked in on them? Oh god this is too funny! I can only imagine your face. Man I wish a camera had captured that," Draco snorted, laughing away.

"Shut it Malfoy! It isn't funny! I saw them… Oh my god this is worse than walking in on my parents!" she groaned, trying to erase the image from her mind.

"Hey, you're a Malfoy too. Remember that," he whispered, pulling her close and trailing soft, butterfly kisses across her shoulder.

"Draco, stop it. I still have… mmm," Hermione hummed her pleasure and leaned in further as Draco kissed her sensitive spot.

Draco pushed her against the wall and kissed her, trailing his hands down her arms and under her shirt. She groaned and arched into him, momentarily forgetting that her daughter was having sex in her bedroom.

A loud groan followed by something that sounded like James broke through the haze of passion and Draco stopped kissing her.

"Should we interrupt after they come down from their post-coital high?" Draco asked, smirking evilly.

Hermione giggled, and agreed, feeling like she was five and going to surprise her parents.

A tug pulled at her heart, and she sighed, thinking about her parents, who had passed on in a car accident five years ago.

Draco noticed her mood shift and pulled her close.

"Everything's going to be alright my love. Now, let's go scare the shit out of our daughter," he smiled wickedly and Hermione felt herself perk up a little.

They counted to three and casually opened the door.

"Aquila, I called you earlier– well, what do we have here?" Draco asked breezily, an eyebrow raised, amused.

"Fuck!"

"Oh my god, shit!"

"Didn't you lock the door?"

"I thought so!"

"You thought?"

Smack.

At this point Hermione and Draco were laughing like hyenas, watching the couple scramble to look presentable.

"Relax, we're not going to kill you. Your mom might though, seeing as she walked in earlier and you didn't notice," Draco smirked as his daughter's face paled even further.

"Mom… I… oh shit," she muttered, turning bright red.

"Just be safe. You guys are old enough to be responsible for your actions. Oh, and are you sated enough to come down for dinner?" Hermione asked, then laughed as they both turned red.

"We'll be done right away Mrs. Malfoy," James muttered, ears red as he reached for his boxers.

"Oh and A, where's your brother?" Hermione asked as she turned to leave, a huge self satisfied smirk on her face.

"He's with Lily," Aquila replied, a happy look in her eyes.

"What is with Potter's kids getting together with ours? As if him being your best friend isn't close enough," Draco muttered playfully, eyes sparkling as Hermione whipped her head around.

"Run Dad! Save yourself!" Aquila yelled and Draco sprinted, hearing his wife's footsteps behind him.

"Careful love, you still need me to help face your daughter," he warned, laughter crinkling his eyes.

"I need your help looking for Orion. He doesn't seem to be in the house. The tracking spell didn't work," she mused, worry lacing her tone as all the playfulness left them.

"Just check his room. He's probably practicing wards, bookworm that he is," Draco teased, earning himself a smack from Hermione.

"This is assault and battery. I should report you," he grumbled, rubbing the spot where she hit him.

"Go ahead, and you won't get to see what I'm wearing underneath tonight. Shame, and I was looking forward to it tonight," she teased, winking before knocking on Orion's door.

"Just a second mom!" he called back, and Hermione was impressed that the wards could recognize who she was.

Orion was a lot like her,, more introverted, bookworm through and through while Aquila was more like Draco, playful, cheeky, quidditch lover but both were devastating smart, and maintained their good grades, much to Draco and Hermione's pleasure.

"Yes? You needed something?" Orion asked, his appearance slightly disheveled and his face oddly flushed.

"What have you been up to? Dinner's ready soon," she asked, trying to peek into his room.

"Nothing much, just reading," he said quickly, almost too quickly, and Hermione narrowed her eyes.

"Liar. Let me through the wards," she said, wondering what he would hide from her.

"Could you um… test them? I want to see how much I've improved," he asked shyly.

She nodded but made Orion come out so he couldn't hide anything.

After many, many, many spells, she finally broke through the wards.

"Well done. Those are really strong. You can do the wards next time when we renew ours," she said, hugging her son.

She'd ruffle his hair, if she could reach it. She walked in and found Lily Potter on Orion's bed, flipping through a charms book, looking equally flushed and disheveled.

"Oh wow. Were you guys having sex?" Draco's head popped into the room and asked, an amused look on his face.

Orion turned red and shook his head vehemently.

"Dad! No, we… we haven't gone that far. She's too young for that!" he groaned, knowing Draco was going to have fun with this.

"Come on, both of you, dinner's ready, and Lily, your parents are here," Hermione said, and Lily jumped off hi bed gracefully, trying to tame her hair.

"Aquila! You better not be going for round two in there or I will castrate your boyfriend!" Draco yelled and a shoe flew out of her room almost instantly.

"What?! James is sleeping with Aquila?" Harry yelped.

"Dad, A is sleeping with James?" Orion asked, a wicked grin on his face.

Draco just winked at his son and moved into the dining room.

"So, Orion, did you use protection?" Harry asked, a smile tugging at his lips as he tried to look stern.

Orion choked and shook his head, while Lily just turned red and sank into her seat.

"No you didn't use protection?" Ginny asked, giggling.

"No, no, we didn't go that far," he wheezed.

"Good. What about you J?" Ginny asked, a knowing smirk plastered on her face.

Hermione was laughing outright now and Draco was trying not to, but failing miserably.

"Um… spell," he squeaked and the whole table burst into raucous laughter.

Dinner was interesting, to say the least. Draco threatened that is James ever hurt his precious daughter he was going to hunt him down and cut him into tiny pieces to feed to the centaurs that roamed the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts. James looked affronted and threw mash potatoes at Draco, but missed and hit Aquila, which landed on her shirt with a loud splat.

"Potter did you just throw food at me?" she asked, a wicked glint appearing as she lifted her spoon.

"Um… no?" he stammered, trying to edge away from his girlfriend.

"Too late," she giggled, and upturned the floating bucket over him.

That started a full out magic food fight, with tomatoes and mustard and all kinds of mushy food flying from the fridge. By the time they were done, everyone was covered in ice cream, mustard, eggs, flour, and gravy, amongst other things.

Everyone was giggling and laughing, snuggled up with their significant other in a dirty corner of the room, trying to get as much of it out of their faces as possible.

"Okay, cleanup time. James, Orion, you clean up this mess, since you started it. A, Ginny, help them after you get that gunk out of your hair before it hardens up. The rest, go replenish what you used up from my fridge. I'll go wash up first then help you guys," Hermione fired off orders and everyone scurried off, not wanting to piss her off after messing up her perfect kitchen.

Hours later, the kitchen was back to it's spotless state pre-food fight. Everyone was happy and satisfied and feeling all loved up.

"Mom, I'm going to James' house, see you tomorrow!" Aquila called out before flooing to their house.

"Mom, can I stay here?" Lily asked, then squeaked in happiness when her mom said yes.

"Feeling loved up are we hmm?" Draco whispered huskily.

"Yeah, all the love in the air," Hermione murmured back, leaning into his hard, lean body

She was thankful that everyone had found someone they loved and weren't in danger of losing them.

The war brought them closer, but love bound them forever.
