Harriet and Draco noticed that their were in shock from what they had told them about them traveling to the past; as well as seeing a young Professor Dumbledore. They also noticed their shock about when Harriet admitted to casting a spell on the portrait of Phineas Black.
They all continued talking for a while and the others told Draco and Harriet about what they had missed out on while they had been gone.
Several weeks later...
It was now time for the Yule/Christmas Holidays and Professor Malkin gave them a class assignment of spending the holidays with their in-laws during the holiday season. Which of course the assignment didn't go over so well with some of the students because most of them had to write home explaining the situation for the class that they had.
Meanwhile, Draco and Harriet were packing their things since he and Harriet would be spending the holidays with his parents then visiting James' and Lilly's graves in Godric's Hollow. However, they were completely unaware that over the holidays that they would actually be getting married as well as learning of their marriage contract between each other.
Once they had everything packed and ready to go; they met up with their friends to head down to Hogsmead Station in order to return to London then home.
On the Hogwarts Express...
Harriet and Draco had found a compartment to sit in on their journey back to London. They were joined by some of their friends that wished to sit with them.
"You know doesn't seem that long ago that you and Draco told us that you two were a couple?" Hermione said.
Harriet smiled at Hermione and said, "I know but it seems that it feels longer for some reason, doesn't it?"
Hermione nodded.
"Maybe it's because you and Draco traveled back in time and that's why it feels so long ago?" Blaise suggested.
"So Blaise, are you visiting with your family first or with Hermione's family first?" Draco asked.
"I think we are visiting with Hermione's family first then with my family, Draco. I mean we're not all lucky to get travel back in time to meet our wife's family like you and Harriet were." Blaise said.
"That may be true, but Harriet and I weren't exactly expecting it either but it was interesting experience." Draco said.
Harriet smiled at Draco then said, "It was an experience that we'll never forget but it was interesting to see my parents reaction to me and Draco being together though."
"What was it like because you two haven't talked about much?" Pansy said.
"Yeah, I mean something must have happened while you two were in the past?" Seamus questioned.
Harriet and Draco looked at each other for a moment. Then Harriet said, "We got to know my parents as well as a younger version of Sirius and Remus. Plus, we also met a younger version of Draco's parents and Professor Snape."
Their friends were shocked to hear that Harriet and Draco met a young version of their Potions Professor as well as Draco's parents.
Then Ron said, "That's not fair, Harriet."
Harriet looked at Ron and said, "It was my father that suggested that Draco's parents know that we were with them; plus it was Remus that had figured it out that we were from the future this my father contacting the Malfoys at once, Ron!"
"Besides, when Professor Lupin told Harriet's father about who we were; he fainted." Draco said.
"I guess I would faint too if my future daughter and my future son-in-law suddenly appeared before me." Dean said sarcastically.
"How did your mom react, Harriet?" Ginny asked curiously.
"She cried." Harriet said, "But they were tears of joy."
"They were happy to meet the two of you but also sad at the same time; weren't they?" Luna asked.
Both Draco and Harriet nodded.
They continued talking all the way to Platform 9 and 3/4 Quarters. Of course, Harriet and Draco answered most of their questions but some of the questions they didn't answer because they weren't exactly sure how to answer them.
They had finally reached the platform and disembarked from the train. They were meeting their parents on the platform and the Weaseleys were waiting as well as the Malfoys.
Molly was stunned when she saw Harriet walk over to the Malfoys with Draco; she wondered why Harriet was going with them suddenly.
Arthur was wondering the same thing until Ron said, "Harriet, you and Draco read up on assignment that Professor Malkin gave us."
"Sure, Ron. Draco and I probably have a lot to catch up on since the incident." Harriet said as she turned to leave with Draco and his parents.
"Ron, what's going on?" Molly asked.
"Mum, we have a Marriage 101 Class this year and we were all paired up." Ron said.
"What's that assignment over the holidays?" Arthur asked curiously.
"Meeting the in-laws." Ginny answered instead of Ron.
"So, I guess that Harriet and Draco were paired together?" Molly questioned.
"Yeah, they were. That's why Harriet went with the Malfoys." Ron said.
Molly wasn't happy at all.
The Weaseleys left with their children and their spouses that were for Marriage 101. As did the other students and their families.
Malfoy Manor...
As soon as they entered the Manor; the house elves immediately took Harriet's and Draco's things to their rooms.
"The manor looks amazing." Harriet stated.
"Thank you, Mrs. Potter-Malfoy. We fixed the Manor after the Dark Lord was killed to restore it back to the way it was." Lucius said.
"I'll even admit that it took a lot of work, love." Draco said to Harriet.
Harriet smiled and said, "I guess that's why you came to Grimmauld Place a lot because you wanted to the restoration of Malfoy Manor a surprise?"
Draco nodded.
"Speaking of Grimmauld Place? How long have you been staying there, Harriet?" Narcissa asked curiously.
"Since after the death of Sirius." Harriet said.
Narcissa and Lucius were shocked to learn that.
"Well, you're family now, Harriet. We will help you in anyway we can." Lucius said.
"Thank you, both." Harriet said as tears started streaming down her face.
Draco immediately wrapped his arms around Harriet; while Lucius and Narcissa were confused for a moment. Then Draco explained what had happened in Potions Class as well as what happened after they had returned from their venture into the past.
"The nerve of that man!" Narcissa said angrily.
"I quite agree with your mother, Draco! If James and Lily along with Sirius and Remus were here; they would be furious!"
Lucius said.
"From what we understand, Uncle Severus was angry on our behalf." Draco said.
"Who told you that?" Narcissa questioned.
"No one told us anything; but we an idea well feeling that Professor Snape was angry with Professor Malkin once we had returned here to this time." Draco said.
"We just don't understand as to why or what made Professor Snape angry with Professor Malkin." Harriet stated.
"I see." Lucius said.
"He probably has his reasons for being angry at the man." Narcissa suggested.
Harriet and Draco nodded in agreement.
"Why don't the two of you freshen up for dinner." Lucius said.
Draco and Harriet nodded then went to their room to freshen up for dinner.
In their room at Malfoy Manor...
Harriet and Draco were surprised that they were sharing the room at first; but then realized that room was designed to make feel as if they were married.
"It's beautiful, Draco." Harriet said in awe.
"How much you want to bet my mother and father remember what we said in the past, Harriet?" Draco said looking at Harriet.
Harriet turned and looked at Draco for a moment then said, "Perhaps, they did and they did a wonderful job."
Draco just chuckled at how Harriet was in awe over their room; considering that the last time she was here which was about a year ago, when the Dark Lord resided in his family home and her as well as her friends were prisoners in his home even if it was for a little while.
"What's so funny, Dray?" Harriet asked.
"It's just amazing how you're happy considering what happened in our 7th year." Draco stated.
Harriet looked at Draco and said, "I guess it is a little strange, darling. However, you were having to follow orders in order to protect your parents plus keeping our relationship a secret. You braver than you thought then, my dragon."
"I suppose you're right, love." Draco said, "So let's freshen up and head to dinner then."
Draco and Harriet freshened up for dinner then headed down the hall to the dinning room.
Meanwhile, at the Burrow...
Molly was entertaining Ron, Lavender, Dean, and Ginny for half the holiday vacation.
"So, I understand that you also have to deal with a simulated pregnancy over the holidays as well?" Molly said.
"Yeah, mum. Some of us older students one or more child during this simulated pregnancy which pertains to 7 and 8 years while the lower years don't have to do the simulated pregnancy." Ginny stated.
Arthur had just come in and he had something in his hands that was from Gringotts.
"Mr. Weaseley, is something wrong?" Lavender asked seeing the expression on his face.
Everyone turned to see Arthur who was pale at the moment.
"Arthur, what is it?" Molly asked.
"I was altered by Gringotts that someone was trying to start a feud between our family and the Potter Family." Arthur said.
"That's absurd, Arthur." Molly said.
The other Weaseleys were in shock. The Bill asked, "What was the notice about, dad?"
"Well, I went to Gringotts to understand why I got this letter in my hands." Arthur said.
"What did the goblins say, dad?" George asked.
"The bank manger of the Potter Family accounts told me that I was to informed of someone trying to forge a Marriage Contract between one of my single male heirs which is Ron or Charlie because Harriet is already in a Marriage Contract that was protected by Potter Family along with the family magic of her betrothed." Arthur said.
"How can that be, we've never heard of a Marriage Contract being protected by family magic?" Charlie asked.
"I don't know, but if the rumor is true about the Potters then I want to know who would do this!" Arthur said upset.
"What rumors, dad?" Ron asked.
"There are rumors that the Potters might be from the bloodline of the Pervells as well as the bloodline of Gryffindor." Arthur said.
Ron and the others nearly choked at hearing that about Harriet.
"Not to mention, Sirius named her his heiress of the Black Family. " Arthur said.
Ron choked and said, That would explain it then."
Arthur looked at Ron and asked, "What would explain it?"
"Well, Harriet was able to cast a spell on Phineas Black's portrait at Grimmauld Place and the spell followed him to the portrait frame at Hogwarts." Ron said.
Arthur's and Molly's eyes nearly bugged out.
"Leave it to Harriet to do the impossible." George said.
"So what's this I hear about Harriet staying with the Malfoys?" Arthur questioned and noticed that Molly was acting strangely.
"It's a class for 7th and 8th years called Marriage 101. We were all paired up, Harriet was paired with Malfoy. Right now, we are in simulated pregnancy and visiting with the in-laws, dad." Ginny said.
"Oh?" Arthur said.
So Ron and Ginny explained the class to their parents so that they could understand the class and it's purpose.
Back at Malfoy Manor...
Harriet and Draco entered the dinning room on time and there was Lucius and Narcissa waiting on them. Draco and Harriet noticed that they were smiling which confused them.
"Father? Mother? What's going on?" Draco questioned.
"Well, Draco, we know that you and Harriet were a couple when you met us in the past." Narcissa stated.
Both Draco and Harriet nodded.
"We along with Lily and James as well as Sirius, Remus, and Severus made a Marriage Contract between you two after the two of you returned to this point in time. We also made the Marriage Contract to coincide to the date you gave as wedding date with what you gave to Professor Malkin." Lucius said.
Both Draco and Harriet were shocked to learn this.
Lucius and Narcissa were wondering what Harriet and Draco were thinking about this news that they had just told them.
Finally, Draco said, "So, basically while we are doing our Marriage Class assignment over the holidays; we are actually getting married on Yule/Christmas Eve in real life."
Both Lucius and Narcissa nodded.
"Well at least our holiday vacation is going to be fun." Harriet said with a smile and a little sarcastic.
Draco chuckled.
Lucius and Narcissa were confused.
"I'm sorry, Lucius and Narcissa. It's just that adjusting to the simulated pregnancy still." Harriet said.
Draco looked at Harriet and said, "Honey, calm down. You're starting to experience the start of the mood swings."
"Well, no one said it was going to be easy, Dray." Harriet said sarcastically.
Draco sighed and said, "So it begins and I still love you, Harriet."
Harriet looked at Draco and said, "I love you too, Draco. I guess everyone is different when it comes to pregnancy whether it's simulated or not."
"Either that or you're experiencing some of the symptoms earlier than most regardless of the pregnancy being simulated." Draco suggested.
Harriet looked at Draco worriedly and said, "Draco, remember when we said that or wedding was on December 24th?"
"Yes, then you said to Pansy if our children were due in February..." Draco cut himself off as he realized what was happening.
"What is it, Draco?" Narcissa asked concerned.
Then it dawned on Harriet as well and said, "Each week will count as a a tri semester for the simulated pregnancy. Which means that I truly have..."
"One and half months before the twins are born by simulated pregnancy." Draco said.
Lucius and Narcissa were shocked but didn't show it. Then Lucius asked curiously, "And if the pregnancy becomes real?"
"Then father, you and mother could possibly have twin grandsons, twin granddaughters, or a grandson and a granddaughter." Draco answered.
THUD
Both Draco and Harriet along with Narcissa saw Lucius passed out on the floor.
"Why do I get the feeling my dad is doing the exact same thing along with Sirius and Remus?" Harriet questioned suddenly.
Draco and Narcissa looked at Harriet confused at first then laughed.
In the afterlife...
Lily and the rest of the Potters along with Fred Weaseley was laughing seeing James, Sirius, and Remus passed out from shock.
Death entered and saw the three men passed out and said, "It seems that my Mistress has shocked them literally speaking."
"Yeah but it was priceless." Fred said.
Lily looked at Death and asked, "Does Draco know that he is marrying your mistress?"
Death looked at Lily and said, "He does because she didn't hide it from him. To answer your next question, Mrs. Potter; she told him before he and his parents went before trial. I'm actually surprised that he still loves her for her and not for other reasons."
"If I think about it; Harriet must've told Draco because she didn't want him to think of her any less." Fred suggested.
"There are times when my Mistress asked if it was a mistake to love him and I told her that if she would like to combine the bloodline of Malfoy and Potter then they would be a start of a new pure blood family because she combined her bloodline with his." Death stated.
James and the others came around.
"Death, I know I caught the tale end but what are you implying?" James asked.
"The Potter-Malfoy bloodline will be the protectors of my hollows just as the Peverell Bloodline was." Death said, "Plus, combining the bloodline will make them stronger."
