Trouble in the Sweet Shop

Chapter 3

The following day Hermione was much calmer, as it was her day off she decided to spend the time relaxing and preparing Scorpius for his grandmothers.

"But I don't want to go to Grandma Cissys, It's boring there" Scorpius was moping around the house, he had practically begged to go with his parents but they had decided he didn't need to see any more arguing. To think, if Harry and Ron hadn't left for France, they would have seen this little one grow.

"I know sweetie, but Mum and dad have to go somewhere very important and I promise that we'll come and get you as soon as we are finished, then we'll persuade Daddy to let us watch that film you like" It had taken Hermione 2 years to get Draco to agree to having a television in the house, he had still never learnt to use it though and Scorpius often tried to teach him like the big boy he was.

"Can I eat sweets as well" Hermione was always cautious about giving him too many sweets, as her parents were dentists, they often gave him a check up when they went to visit, plus she was still stuck in her old ways, it was Draco who give him all the sweets he wanted.

Hermione had been watching the clock go around, she wanted to get this over and done with. Half 3 came and the fireplace lit up, Draco fell out and dusted his robes until he was attacked by the 4 year old. He laughed and picked the boy up.

"You had a good day champ?"

"Yeah, me and mummy did some drawings and she read me a story. It was fun, but daddy do I have to go to Grandma Cissys?" The boy new how to tug at his parents heart string by pulling a little adorable face and giving a little pout.

"I'm afraid so Scorp, but you'll have fun, I think Grandma Cissy has some friends round for you to meet"

"Will they be old people, because old people are boring and always pinch my face and mess up my hair?"

"I don't know, maybe you should ask Grandma when we see her" Placing the boy on the ground he walked towards Hermione and placed a small kiss on her lips.

"Ready?" She nodded and they flooed to Malfoy Manor, where they were welcomed by Narcissa Malfoy. Draco walked over and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek "Good afternoon mother" He was followed by Hermione, holding Scorpius's hand as they walked over and briefly hugged.

"How are you Cissy?"

"Just fine, a little lonely but I always enjoy the company of my family" She smiled down at Scorpius who raised his arms around his grandmother and gave her a hug. Hermione bent down to kiss Scorpius and Draco gave him a hug and returned to the fire.

"I'm not sure how long we'll be, but we'll try and be as quick as we can"

"Take your time, I enjoy these times with my grandson" and with that Hermione and Draco had flooed this time to the Ministry of Magic.

After dusting themselves off, they went to the Auror's office on Level 2, to meet Harry and Ron. They walked in silence, hand in hand and did not speak as they saw the two men at the end of the corridor, they led them inside where a healer and a fellow auror were waiting.

"This examination, usually takes place at St. Mungo's in case of any effects of the potion, but seeing as you work there, we thought it was best to do it here with a private Healer so Malfoy could not bribe his way out." Ron was still the cocky person he had been days before. Hermione stepped forward and sat on the seat in the middle of the room.

"You need to wait outside Malfoy" Harry instructed, opening the door for him.

"No way, I'm staying here with my wife."

"So you can enchant the examiners? Not a chance"

"Draco, just wait outside, this shouldn't take long. I'll be fine" She smiled at him and he reluctantly walked outside.

"Right now Hermione I'm just going to run my wand across you to check for any spells or enchantments." Hermione was too busy staring at Ron, the witch went about muttering charms and spells. She then opened her bag and handed Hermione a potion.

"This here is a..."

"I'm well aware of what it is, I have had to brew this potion before" She told the healer. The effects of the potion would counteract any other potion currently taken by the 23 year old. She swallowed back the potion and waited the recommended time by the ministry official. All this time the healer was scribbling notes down, she put her quill down and handed the parchment to Harry, who read over the file and passed it on to Ron.

"She's clean"

"Then we give her Veritaserum, he must be threatening her"

"Ron, give it up, she's clean."

"Can i get back to my husband now?" Hermione stood, but Ron pushed her back on the chair.

"Accio Veritaserum" A small bottle flew from his desk and into his hands, he pushed Hermione's head back, Hermione squirmed and screamed.

"Ron get off of me" Hermione tried to push him back but he was too strong for her, Draco, who could hear the commotion stormed in as Ron poured the liquid down her throat. Draco rushed forward and through Ron backwards, he knelt before Hermione.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah fine it was Veritaserum, he didn't like the results. They were clean"

"Hermione, is Draco Malfoy threatening you in anyway possible?" Ron was not giving up, he knew something else was going on, there was no way that Hermione Granger would marry Draco Malfoy.

"No" She smirked and Draco had never felt more proud of her for it. She was standing up to her friends, the same friends that treated her like a doormat at school and who abandoned her.

"How do you feel about Draco Malfoy?"

"I love him, he is my husband and we have a beautiful son together" She stood and took Malfoy's hand, "We're leaving"

"Miss, you can't leave until the effects wear off"

"Just watch me" She walked out of the office and out of the ministry, Draco had wondered about taking advantage of this new truthful Hermione whilst he still good.

"So 'Mi, am I any good in bed?"

"What? That's not fair, you know I can't lie"

"Well?"

"I'm not saying"

"Hermione?"

"Fine, yes, you're amazing! You happy?"

"Pretty much!" He smiled as they held hands and walked out into muggle London.

"Fancy going to lunch before we pick up Scorp?"

"That's just mean, you know he hates going there" Draco smiled and they walked towards a small muggle restaurant.

"Hermione, wait" The couple stopped and turned to find Harry running towards them. Draco turned and pointed his wand at his enemy.

"Don't you think you've done enough already?"

"Please, I get it now that you're not under any enchantments, you can't blame us for wondering. Our best muggleborn friend has married a Malfoy, muggleborn hater. But please I have to know. I won't be able to understand unless I know how this happened" Hermione looked at Draco, pleading with her eyes for him to give her the answer. Should she tell him? Did he deserved to know?

Draco lowered his wand and nodded. "Come on, we need to find a place to talk" He grabbed Hermione's hand and began to walk to the restaurant, with Harry in tow.
