Trouble in the Sweet Shop

Chapter 20


"Were you ever planning on telling us?"

Harry was fuming after hearing that all of the Weasley clan had heard of the news and they had not. He couldn't believe that they had been away for 5 years and something as major as this had happened and he had not been told about it.

"We were waiting for you both to get back, with how well you were doing, we thought you would be back within a year and everything would be fine. But then a year led to 2 and by then we thought it was too late to tell you. You would be angry and upset with us and it just wasn't right for us to tell you over owl. Don't blame my mum or anyone else, it was me that convinced them not to say a word, I promised Hermione." A tear leaked from Ginny's eye, she didn't want this conversation, she still felt it wasn't her place.

"How do you expect to keep a clear mind on your mission when all your thinking about is Hermione? Harry I know it doesn't seem like it, but we did this for you and Ron." Harry laughed, a cold hard laugh and looked at Ginny with Venom in his eyes.

"This was all for us? Ginny I understand she moved on but it's Malfoy and she was with Ron, he proposed. As far as he was aware, they were going to be together when we got back."

"And what if it had taken another 5 years before you came back Harry? What if you didn't come back or if Ron had found someone over there?" Having nothing else to say Harry stood and walked out of the room.


It was Sunday morning, Harry and Ron were playing Wizarding chess, Ron obviously winning but neither were really paying attention. They were awaiting the arrival of Hermione, whom they invited to clear the air and answer any questions. Today was very quiet, to help the day pass until Hermione arrived, Ginny helped Mrs Weasley in the kitchen and Mr Weasley was in his shed, fixing or experimenting on some muggle device. It was Weasley tradition that on a Sunday, the whole family got together for a lovely home cooked meal, however since the older 'children' had moved out, only Harry, Ron and Ginny were present on a Sunday. They were all currently awaiting the arrival of Hermione, the Weasley household was tense. You could sense the awkwardness in the air.


"Hermione, stop pacing, you're causing a draft" Draco came up behind Hermione and put his arms around her, immediately stopping her. He kissed her neck and she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding.

"What am I doing Draco? I shouldn't be doing this, should I cancel? I'm gonna cancel." She started towards the fire intent on cancelling, when she was pulling back and hugged by her husband.

"Don't be silly 'mi, we need to sort this out. We knew this day would come eventually"

"I know but why now, why can't we just forget it ever happened. I can't deal with this now" She looked into her husbands eyes and gave him a weak smile, he kissed her head and left the room,leaving her with her own thoughts.

After a minute of silence, Hermione was pushed out of her thoughts by Scorpious running in smiling.

"Mommy can you tie my shoes pleasey? Where are we going? Can we go to the park?" She couldn't help but smile as she tied her son's shoe laces, she lifted him up into her arms and held him tight. It wasn't fair for him to be in the middle of all this argument. He should have known Harry and Ron, he would have had 2 other uncles who could adore him, spoil him.

"No we're not going to the park sweetie"

"Can we get ice cream?"

"Maybe later darling, right now we're going to see Aunt Ginny." Scorpious smiled, suddenly he wrapped his arms around his mother. She knew she was making the right decision to see Harry and Ron.


The doorbell rung, shocking all of the Weasley's out of their own little worlds, they all looked towards the door, nobody wanting to really open the door. Finally Ginny stood and walked towards the door to answer it.

She opened the door to find a clearly worried Hermione, holding hands with a small boy who was holding a small teddy close to him. Behind both, just walking up to the door was Draco.

"Hey"

"Hey, what's it like in there?" Making small talk was just preventing them from entering the house.

"Awkward...Hey Scorpi" She gave a small wave to the boy who waved back, she held her hand out and the little boy held her hand and walked into the house, Ginny motioned with her head for Hermione and Draco to follow. Walking into the living room, the entire Weasley family turned to see Ginny enter with a little Scorpious, closely followed by Hermione and Draco.

"What's he doing here?" It was Ron to speak, he was obviously angry.

"He's my husband Ron, he's got a right to be here" The room was silent, the Weasley's clearly hadn't known this news.

"You're husband? What do you mean you're husband?" It was Mr Weasley who spoke, it was true that in the past Hermione had reconciled and reconnected with the Weasley's, however she hadn't never introduced them to her husband and they had only met her son when he was very young, too young that he wouldn't remember.

"Come on Scorp how about we get you some sweets?" The small boy was a little shy, being in a room of unknown people, but eagerly followed.

"I mean that me and Draco are married and have been for years..."

"Mr Weasley, I understand how hard it must be for you to hear this, Hermione is like a daughter to you, but I've really learnt from my mistakes. I've tried my best to make up for all I've done wrong. I'd really like it if we can move on from the past" He stuck his hand out and waited, those few seconds felt like a lifetime. Finally slowly Mr Weasley lifted his arm and shuck his hand.

"DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE IS A MALFOY!"

"The past is the past Ron, I will not lose one of my daughters because of the past and the fact that you can't grow up." Slowly Mrs Weasley walked up to Draco and did the most shocking thing. She hugged him, he gave him the most warming hug, as if he had always been a part of the family. A tear fell down Hermione's face, she smiled and hugged Mr Weasley.

"Thank you" She whispered.

"You're not being serious? Dad do I need to remind you of all the things him and his family did"

"RONALD WEASLEY, STOP IT NOW, HERMIONE IS PART OF THIS FAMILY AND THAT MEANS DRACO AND SCORPIOUS ARE PART OF THIS FAMILY TOO!" Ron stood and walked towards his parents, if it felt awkward before Hermione had arrived, it was nothing like it felt now.

"HE IS A DEATH EATER!" Draco turned and looked Ron in the face, grabbing by his jacket he pushed him back.

"I've told you not to call me that, especially when my son is in ear shot! I. Am. Not. A. Deatheater. I was cleared of all charges, you'd do well to remember that." Hermione grabbed Draco's hand softly and placed her other hand on his face, he turned to look into her eyes.

"He's not worth it, just calm down, come on, we'll go." He nodded and let go of Ron, turned towards Mr and Mrs Weasley and apologised before heading towards the door to collect Scorpious.

"NO!" It was Mr Weasley who spoke, he stopped Draco from leaving.

"No, you're not leaving. I won't lose my family again. We lost Hermione and we finally have her back. Ron you need to grow up and accept that 5 years have past and Hermione has moved on, she has her own family now."

"Dad you can't be serious? You're sticking up for him? He just threatened me!"

"Grow up Ron!" Anger built up inside Ron, his family were giving in and getting close to the enemy.

"You know I don't get it, you're all about family and sticking together. But you're sticking up for him so it's you're choice. You pick me; your son or you pick him and I leave"

Ron stormed out of the room, closely followed by a shocked Harry.
