Happily Never After

AN: Thank You for all the reviews and I hope this answers or tells some more about whatever some of you wanted to know...Very short chapter, sorry about that I guess...Please Review, good or bad...I won no one but Kat in this chapter...Did I or did I not explain this all already..Oh well...Sorry about any typos...

Yet another AN: I decided I was spelling Hermione and Draco's daughter's name different, so if you see it spelled Kat and not Cat, it's wrong, and please igonre the mistake. I tried to fiz them all so they were all spelled correctly (Cat not Kat) but I'm not sure I got them all.

Chapter Two: Years Around

*************

Hermione smiled as she waved goodbye to her daughter for the third time. It was Cat's third year at Hogwarts. The last two years weren't as exciting at Hermione's first two years but they were full of fights for her daughter, with teachers, students and friends it seemed.

Hermione smiled she thought she might cry. Cry in front of everyone saying goodbye to his or her children at Kings Cross. No she wouldn't she knew some were but she wouldn't.

She apparated when she couldn't see the train anymore. She apparated to her and Harry's house which was next to the still growing Weasley's house and went to her room and flopped down on her bed. She was lost in her thoughts and no one could have interrupted her if they tried.

It's been year's sine she held her precious little baby in her arms. It had been quite a struggle not to tell anyone, even Harry who her father was. Plus the looks she got were unbearable, but she had Harry, Blaise, and Pansy. She took hours to name her baby. She had finally decided on Catharine Lena Granger. Later her godfather, or Uncle Harry had started calling her Cat. The girl did act like a cat sometimes and she liked it so soon anyone who knew her called her that. Sirius, Blaise, Pansy, the whole Weasley family.

Cat had her father's eyes; gray ones. They were a bluish brown when she was born but before she was two weeks old they'd turned to gray. Those eyes were a constant reminded of her father to Hermione. Other then her eyes Cat looked exactly like her mother at that age. Plus Cat's hair was much less curly and was more wavy then anything; you couldn't call it straight or curly.

Cat was loved by all the Weasley's even though she wasn't really family they treated her like it. Cat called Molly and Arthur her grandparents and their sons were her uncles. It had been that way forever. They believed that Harry was Cat's father for awhile. Mostly because she had called him Dad before she called Hermione Mom. Also Cat was a seeker and made the Gryffindor quidditch team her first year. They all knew she couldn't have got her broom skills from Hermione and they thought she wouldn't be with any other seeker but him.

But they were wrong. Draco was Cat's father, not her dad though. A dad would have been there to see her grow up and help her out when she needed it. Harry had done that for Cat and Blaise and Pansy was the girl's 'aunt' and Blaise and Harry were her 'uncles'. It was true the three were her child's godparents; she couldn't choose between Harry and Blaise when it came to Cat's godfather so they both were. Blaise had been more on her side about everything when they discovered. Harry didn't look at her for weeks. He wanted to know whose child Cat was, but he still didn't know as far as Hermione knew.

Blaise had stuck by her side more then Harry did in the beginning. It was true he didn't think it right her child not have a father but after a few days he could care less. Hermione thought what got him was that she told him that no matter if this child had a father or not he or she would have it's Uncle Blaise, right? Hermione felt a little bad for making Blaise agree with that line but it was true. She knew it and he did. Blaise was always at Hermione's side and so far in Cat's life he'd been there in the same way. Hermione loved him dearly for that.

Pansy had seen Hermione's thoughts from the first day she knew about the girls' pregnancy. She stuck by her side and didn't question her motives. Hermione loved it. To think that the girl she used to despise was her child's godmother. Now Pansy was like her sister and Harry was like her brother. This made it kinda weird when the two kissed in front of her. She was happy for them but still it was like seeing her closest family kiss. The two had finally decided to start going out after years of flirting and dating people like each other.

Plus she would never stop being able to provide anything for her daughter. Hermione was rich, well sorta, she'd been writing books since she was out of Hogwarts. Once the first one was out she had enough money to send Cat anywhere any time. It felt wonderful being rich. Some of her books were used in DADA classes and the others were about mystery or horror. Only two were about pure romance. Those two had been written right after she had Cat. All her books were dedicated to her daughter and her best friends. Friends, she had the best of friends. It really was wonderful. Well one of her 'friends' wasn't that great. The one who left her. Draco.

Hermione glared at no one. She hated him so much. Not because he left her with Cat. She knew he was going to leave so that wasn't a shocker it was just that he didn't even attempt to contact her. She didn't need him when it came to Cat. She loved Cat and even if she had no friends she would have made it with Cat. Cat was the greatest thing that had happened to her. The girl was smart and remembered everything like her and even with out being taught to fly she had her father's natural talent. Draco was a good seeker it was just Harry was a little better. Harry was great; he'd stuck by her no matter what overall.

Hermione smiled. Her life really was great.

At least for now because she didn't know anything about what was coming.

*************

Harry glanced in Hermione's room in see her stairing at the celling. From the look on her face and in her eyes he could tell she was lost in her thoughts. He didn't dare disturb her.

He walked to his room, his own thoughts coming into his head. Cat had gone to Hogwarts for her third her today. He was so happy she hadn't been expelled yet. From the fighting she did he was quite surprised by it. Then again good old, quite old, Dumbledore was still there. Harry knew the old man would look out for Hermione's daughter. Harry was sure the headmaster didn't know whom Kat's father.

Unlike Harry who'd discovered the girl's father when she was little. Those eyes, he'd only seen them on one other person; Draco Malfoy. It made perfect sense too. Kat was a seeker like Draco and loved the color green and looked good in it like any Malfoy would plus the gray colored robes were the best on Cat. Plus Cat might be brave as hell but the fighting, name calling and slightly sick sense of humor came from Draco; Hermione would never start fights like Cat did or laugh when people got badly hurt.

Harry wasn't sure Hermione knew about his knowing and didn't care. Draco Malfoy was gone; had been for thirteen years. He wasn't coming back and this way Cat wasn't hurt at all. He would die before the little girl be hurt. He was her 'uncle' and godfather, one of them at least after all.

Harry like Hermione knew nothing of the people, if one or two were still considered people that was return in not so little of time.

I know it's short chapter. I hope it explains more and all that. Please review, whether you liked it or not. I take the good with the bad; this talent (if you can call it that) seems to come with life...
