Chapter 5
There You'll Be
She smiled as she recalled those days eight years ago.
"Mia"
She turned around to see Draco, her husband of eight years leaning on the doorframe. Draco smirked at her as he started towards her.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you its bad to stare at good looking guys?"
She smiled sweetly.
"Oh, I wasn't staring at you, I was gazing at the lovely painting behind you. If you don't mind, would you please move aside so I can see it clearly?"
Draco scowled and Mia couldn't help but giggle. He put his arms around her and gave her a kiss.
"We better get going, James' game is about to start."
Mia turned to the window and realized that it had stopped raining and the sun was shining. She smiled at Draco.
"Lets go then"
Holding hands, they headed towards the quidditch pitch (Sorry… I don't know what it is really called since I don't have my book with me. I lent it to a friend) They were halfway there when a five-year-old girl came running towards them. She looked a lot like Mia except for the platinum blond hair, which she inherited from her father.
The little girl squealed with delight as Draco lifted her of the ground and hoisted her to his shoulders. They walked towards the three figures that were waiting for them near the stands. Mia smiled when she saw them.
The first figure was James. Dressed in his Gryffindor quidditch robes, he looked exactly like Harry. Like his father before him, James was chosen to be the seeker in his first year.
The second figure was Jake. He looked exactly like Draco with the platinum blond hair and blue eyes. He was three years younger than James (that makes him 8 years old since James is now 11).
The smallest of the three was Joe. He was six years old. He looked a lot like Draco except for the chestnut brown hair, which he inherited from his mother.
Mia looked at their daughter who was now in Draco's arms. Danielle was the youngest of their four children. She was also no doubt the favorite of Draco.
Draco ruffled James' hair.
"Good luck! Make us proud!"
"Aw! Dad! Wouldn't Slytherin get angry at you since you are rooting for Gryffindor?"
"What can they do to me? I am their head. I can take as many points as I want. Besides you're my son"
James grinned and Mia smiled at the exchange between father and son. Then Owen Wood, Oliver Wood's son called James. He waved goodbye to his parents, brothers and sister and left.
They headed towards the stands and sat down. Mia watch as James got into position.
He looked just like Harry she thought.
When
I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
Madam Hooch's whistle sounded and the game began.
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
Mia remembered the days when she used to watch Harry play. It was like the past unfolding itself in front of her very eyes.
In my dreams
I'll always see your soul
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
Oh, Harry! I wish you could be here she thought.
Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
She felt Draco hold her hand. She turned and smiled at him.
"I wish Harry could have seen him"
Draco smiled at her.
"I have a feeling he's watching him somewhere and that he's very proud of him"
She smiled at him and he put an arm around her.
In my dreams
I'll always see your soul
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
James caught the snitch and Gryffindor won the championship. Cheers erupted from the Gryffindor stands. Danielle pulled on Draco's arm.
"Dad! Let's go to James!"
Draco turned to Mia but she shook her head.
"You guys go on ahead, I'll follow"
He gave her a concerned look before he left. She smiled as she watch them walk towards the Gryffindor team who were now surrounded by students. She turned towards the setting sun.
'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always
"I love you Harry. I wish you were still here to see James. You would have been proud of him. I miss you. No one can ever take your place in my heart. I kept my promise to you, Harry. I opened my heart to love again. Thank you for everything. I love you," she said silently.
She felt a hand slipped into hers. She turned to see James with a concerned look on his face. She smiled and gave him a kiss on the forehead. They headed towards Draco, Danielle, Joe and Jake.
Joe let go of Draco's hand as soon as he saw his mother and ran towards her. Mia hugged him and James bent down to carry him. Draco gave her a concerned look and she smiled and gave him a kiss. She tiptoed to kiss her daughter who was still in Draco's arms. She turned to Jake and kissed him as well. Draco held out his hand for her and she took it. They headed back to the castle hand in hand.
In my dreams
I'll always see your soul
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
It was time to announce the winner of the house cup. Dumbledore stood up.
"In fourth place with a total of a hundred and fifty points, Hufflepuff. In third place with a total of a hundred and seventy five points, Ravenclaw. In second place with a total of a hundred and ninety points, Slytherin and the winner of the house cup, with a total of a hundred and ninety five points, Gryffindor!"
The Gryffindor table erupted with cheers and Hermione couldn't help but grin. She looked over at Draco who was smiling at her.
"Congratulations Mia! You deserved it!"
"Thanks!"
After the feast, the heads lead their houses towards their common room. After leading the Gryffindors back, Hermione started to go back to her common room, when she heard someone call for her.
"Mom!"
She turned to see James running towards her.
"Hey sweety!"
"Um, mom? Could I stay with you and Dad for tonight? I can sleep on the floor if you want"
She smiled at him.
"Of course you can"
Together they headed towards her and Draco's quarters. When they got there, Danielle, Jake and Joe were playing Monopoly in the common room. Pretty soon they were all playing. They were still playing when Draco came back.
"Hey, is there room for a refugee of the house cup here?"
Hermione giggled.
"Of course, here you can sit beside me"
He sat down beside her and gave her a kiss.
"Yuck!"
All four children chorused. Draco and Hermione laughed. Then Draco turned to James.
"You wouldn't think it is yucky if you started doing it with Amanda"
"Yuck!"
Hermione smiled and joined in.
"Oh, come on, I saw how you looked at her in class the other day"
James blushed. Then Jake started to chant.
"James and Amanda sitting on a tree."
Then Joe joined in.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
Then Danielle followed.
"First comes love, second comes marriage, and then comes a baby sitting on a carriage"
They all laughed except for James who was blushing furiously.
"No fair! You're all ganging up on me!"
Danielle started to yawn and Hermione stood up.
"I think it's time to go to bed"
James headed for the cabinet to get a blanket and pillow so he could sleep on the floor. Danielle tapped him on the shoulder.
"James, you can sleep with me tonight"
"Sure"
Hermione and Draco kissed them goodnight and smiled as they watched Jake and Joe headed for their room and James and Danielle entered Danielle's room. Draco leaned over to her.
"I think its time for bed, don't you think Mrs. Malfoy?"
She laughed and started to tidy up the board game. Draco leaned over to get the bundle of money and scattered it on the floor and smiled innocently at her.
"Oops! I seem to drop it"
She glared at him.
"Draco Malfoy, you are a very bad man!"
"I know"
He replied smugly, which made her scowled at him.
"I hate you!"
He laughed and put an arm around her.
"And I love you"
She gave him a mock glare.
"Why did I ever marry you?"
He grinned.
"Because you couldn't resist my charms"
"Oh shut up!"
"For a woman, you are pretty stubborn"
"I know"
"That's why I love you"
She grinned and he leaned down to kiss her. She looked into his blue eyes and smiled. He was no longer the little boy who bullied her at school. He had changed and she was glad that he became her friend. He was a great father to his children even James; the son of his supposed archenemy and he was a great husband to her.
Authors note: Well, this is it. This is the last chapter. I'm thinking of creating a sequel but I'm not sure. Thanks for the reviews. (Especially to delila-malfoy). I really appreciate it since this is my first fic.
