DRACO'S POV

"Stand still, if you keep moving we'll be here till next new years." I dropped my hands in disbelief, we'd already been here for 15 minutes trying to take a photo.

"Well if you stopped changing your mind about where you wanted me to stand we'd be done by now."

"Fine." I quickly snapped the photo, "Let's go back to the house." I held my hand out for Hermione and started to walk back to the house we were staying in.

"Thanks for brining me to Paris, I've always wanted to come here." She squeezed my hand as she smiled up at me.

"Anything for the woman I love."


"One minute to go!" She ran out onto the balcony with a glass of champagne in her hand. "Thirty seconds." she looked out upon the city. "Five...four...three...two...one! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" She shouted out into the city joining in with the celebrations. "Happy new year Draco!" She spun around in excitement. "Oh my..."

She looked down to find me a few paces behind her. "Hermione Jean Granger will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?"

"Of course! I would want nothing else!"

HERMIONE'S POV

"Come on we're going to be late." I was waiting by the door when Draco and Achilles came running down the stairs. "You too are so immature." I rolled my eyes at them as I threw their coats at them.

"Mummy what does immature mean?" Athena tugged on the end of my coat.

"It means extremally childish and silly, which is exactly what your father and brother are. Now in the car or we're all going to be late." I placed one hand in my 5 year old daughters hand and the other upon my baby bump.


"There they are." I pointed at Harry and Ginny who were stood at the other end of the station, I grabbed Achilles' hand and ran along the platform.

"James just get over it, Hermione! Wow pregnancy really suits you." She pulled me into a deep hug as soon as I arrived at them.

"Why did you run? We still have 5 minutes." Draco came up behind me and placed a hand on my back, holding Athena with his other.

"And we've had two children you've insisted on naming after characters in Greek mythology but you don't see me complaining." Ginny and Harry both laughed as Draco rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Well you wanted to give them boring muggle names."

"I'd rather have a boring muggle name than Achilles Lucifer Malfoy."

"Better than Collin which is what your mum wanted to call you."

"I'm leaving now so I can find some where to sit." Achilles rolled his eyes and hugged his father and I. "I'll see you soon Mum, bye dad love you both." And with that my first child left for his first year of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
