Chapter 3

Hermione looked at Draco, eyes wide, she mouthed words silently. "Will you?" Draco asked again. Hermione's shocked face slid into a smile. "Of course I will," Hermione whispered. Draco smiled and hugged Hermione, being careful so he wouldn't wake Amy. Hermione smiled, "I should get this little one to bed." Draco nodded and laid back down. Hermione stood up and turned out the lights. She smiled at Draco's sleeping form and walked into Amy's room. Hermione gently laid Amy on her bed and tucked her in. She kissed Amy softly on the head and walked out of the room.
Hermione walked into her room and shut the door. She went to her dresser and got out some PJs. She changed into a pair of silky green pants and a matching tank top. Hermione then walked to her bathroom and brushed her teeth. She took her hair out of it's pony tail. During the war, Hermione had changed, a lot. Her hair was no longer thick and bushy, but sleek and wavy that reached down to her bum. She still had her honey brown eyes, and she had developed more over the years. Hermione sighed; she was going out with Draco Malfoy, the person that she had the hugest crush on, since the beginning of 7th year. 'How will Harry and Ron take it?' Hermione asked herself, 'I'll tell them later.' Hermione drank some water and walked back into her room; she shut the door and turned out the lights. She pulled back the covers of her bed and snuggled down into her warm blankets. She fell asleep with thoughts of Draco running through her head.
Draco woke in the middle of the night to find someone pulling on his arm. Draco sat up and found little Stephanie. The little two year old was whimpering, Draco pulled her onto his lap. "What's wrong Steph?" Draco asked her. Stephanie buried her face in Draco's chest. "Did you have a bad dream?" Draco said. Stephanie nodded, Draco smiled. "You can stay up here with me ok," Draco said, lying down. Stephanie nodded and snuggled up next to Draco. Draco smiled inwardly and the two fell asleep.
Hermione woke late that morning, well late for her. Hermione turned her head and looked at her clock; it flashed 8:37 at her. Hermione groaned and got out of bed. She went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. She got out about fifteen minutes later; she wrapped a towel around herself and dried her hair. When she was done with that, she got into some faded blue jeans that hugged her hips and flared out at the bottom, and a red tank top.
"Time to wake the kids," Hermione said, to no one in particular. She walked into the room closest to hers. This was the girl's room, Lilly was five, Amy was three, Rebecca was four, Heather was eight, and Stephanie was two. Heather and Jason were twins; they reminded her a lot of the weasely twins. Hermione found that all the girls were awake. "Hey girls!" Hermione said from the doorway. "Moine!" came the shouts of the kids. Hermione laughed as she was pulled into hugs. "Ok, ok girls! I need to get the boys up!" Hermione said, the little girls pulled away from her and went back to playing their game. Hermione looked around, and she saw four of the girls, 'Where's Steph,' Hermione thought.
Hermione walked out of the girl's room and down the hall. She walked into the boys room Jason was eight, Stephen was four, Sean was five, Cody was three, and Corey was two. The boys were running around the room. "Boys!" came the voice of Hermione. The boys stopped running around. They walked up to her and hugged her, they were getting very close to her, it took the boys longer then the girls, but they were coming around. "I'm going to make breakfast; it'll be done in about forty-five minutes, ok?" Hermione said, getting down the boys level. There were many nods. Hermione laughed and walked out of the room, as soon as she did, the boys started to play again.
"Now to get Draco up and walk him around the house," Hermione said. Draco needed to get out of bed today, and he would no matter what. Hermione walked into the room, when she got to his bed, her face softened. Draco had his arms around Stephanie and she was curled up next to him. Hermione gently took Draco's arms off of her and picked her up. Hermione walked back into her room and put Stephanie on her bed. Then she shut the door and walked back to Draco's room.
He hadn't waken up yet; Hermione sat down in the chair next to his bed and moved some of his silver-blonde hair out of his face. Draco stirred, but he didn't wake up. Hermione took his hand and kissed him softly on the head. 'I'll let him sleep,' Hermione said to herself. She stood up and walked out of the room; she closed the door behind her and went into her room. She took out a quill and some parchment and wrote a letter to Harry.
~Dear Harry,
After the war, I volunteered to take care of the children who had lost parents in the war, and Draco. I know this may come as a shock to you, but Draco has changed a lot. He's getting a lot better and I'm glad. He gets along so well with the children, and last night, he asked me out. I said yes, because I like Draco, I like Draco a lot. Please don't tell this to Ron yet. I would love it if you, Ginny, Ron, and Lavender could come over today around 4:30. I would like the kids to meet you. Please send me an owl back.
Love From,
Hermione~
Hermione read and re-read her letter. Then she took her hawk, Midnight, off her perch. She tied the letter to Midnight's leg and watched her fly off. Hermione walked down to the kitchen and started to make breakfast. After about half an hour, breakfast was ready and all the kids were at the kitchen table. Hermione put some food on their plates, then put some on her own and Draco's. "Be good kids, I have to go and wake Draco up," Hermione said. The kids nodded and went back to their food. Hermione walked up the stairs into Draco's room.
Hermione walked over to his bed and sat down on it. Draco moved so that is right hand was on Hermione's thigh. Hermione giggled, Draco didn't know what he was doing, as he was asleep. Hermione bent down over him. "Draco, Draco wake up," Hermione said softly in his ear. Draco stirred and opened his eyes. He smiled when he looked into Hermione's honey brown eyes. "Breakfast is ready," Hermione said lightly. Draco sat up and leaned his head on Hermione's shoulder.
Hermione hugged Draco softly. Draco yawned and looked at Hermione, "You aren't going to bring my food up here, are you?" Hermione laughed. "No, this time you have walk down to get it," Hermione said, smiling. Draco groaned and got out of bed and walked downstairs, with Hermione behind him, making sure he didn't fall. Draco sat down at the table and smiled at Stephanie. After breakfast was done, Draco helped Hermione clean up the kitchen. "Thanks Draco," Hermione said. Draco smiled, "Anything for you Moine." Hermione felt her face flush; it was at this moment when Midnight flew in through the window. Hermione raced over and took the letter off her leg.
~Dear Moine,
Of course we'll come over today! Oh and guess what? Lavender is pregnant! Isn't it great? Ron and Lavender are so happy; they're going to have a little girl! We'll be over around 12:00 that way we can have lunch. And don't worry, I didn't tell Ron, but me and you are going to have a talk about this. Well see you soon!
Love From,
Harry~
Hermione squealed with delight. Draco cocked his head to one side, "What?" Hermione turned to Draco. "Lavender is pregnant!" Hermione said. Draco smiled and took Hermione into his arms. "I take it they are all coming over today?" Draco asked. Hermione nodded. "Then we better get ready, shouldn't we?" Draco said. Hermione smiled and the two of them rushed around the house to get it ready before 12:00.
At around 11:50, the kids were asleep and Draco had gotten into the shower. When 12:00 rolled around, the doorbell rang. Hermione squealed and went to open the door; she was pulled into many hugs. "Moine!" Ginny giggled, her and Harry had been married for almost two years now. Hermione saw Lavender and pulled her into a hug. "Congratulations!" Hermione squealed, she let them in. "Where are the kids?" Ron asked, "You said you wanted us to meet them." Hermione giggled, "Its nap time right now, well Jason and Heather are watching TV, and they're eight."
"And Malfoy?" Harry asked. Ron turned to Hermione, "What is Malfoy doing here?" Hermione blushed. "I-I'm helping him," Hermione said, looking at the ground. At that moment, Draco Malfoy walked into the room. He was wearing baggy blue jeans and a grey T-shirt. His soft blue-grey eyes were narrowed at Harry and Ron. He never gelled his hair back anymore and it hung in his eyes. Draco walked over and sat down next to Hermione, taking her hand.
Ron's mouth dropped to the floor. "Get your hands off her Malfoy!" Ron said, standing up. Draco smiled smugly. "Temper, Temper Weasely," Draco said coolly. Hermione shot Draco a look. "Look, Ron, let me explain," Hermione said. "Moine! It's Malfoy!" Ron shouted. Hermione flinched, "It's not Malfoy, Ron! It's Draco!" Hermione yelled back, now getting very angry. Hermione was glad she put a silencing charm on the kid's rooms; otherwise they would have woken up. "So now it's Draco?!" Ron said, his face turning red. Hermione nodded. Draco was shocked, Hermione Granger was standing up for him. "He's not bad Ron! He's really not!" Hermione shouted. "Is this the same Malfoy that called you a mudblood and did all those things to you?" Ron yelled, rolling his hands into fists. Draco flinched when he heard what Ron said, he hated himself for doing that, and Hermione knew this, on the countless times he had apologized to her that day. "Yes! But he's changed! He's different!" Hermione said, standing up. Ron shook his head, "Malfoy," he said Draco's name with hate and dislike, "will never change." With that, Ron grabbed Lavender's hand and walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
Hermione sat down next to Draco, her face in her hands. Draco put a comforting arm around her. "Don't worry Moine," said a voice in her ear, "I'll talk to him, he is my brother, and I don't mind you dating Draco." Hermione looked up and hugged Ginny, "Thank you Ginny." Harry smiled and sat down next to Draco and held out his hand, "Friends?" Harry asked. "Friends," Draco said, shaking Harry's hand. Hermione smiled at the two of them. "I'm so glad you didn't take it like Ron did, Harry, thank you," Hermione said.
"How about we go out back?" Draco asked. Harry shrugged and Ginny nodded. Ginny took Harry's hand and Draco took Hermione's and the four of them walked out into the backyard. It was a large backyard, with a sandbox, playground, lots of grass, and trees. There was a large garden with a patio in the middle, the four of them sat down at the table and started to catch up on what had been going on those five months after the war.
*************************************************************** ~A/N- how did you like this chapter? I hope you liked it! Please, please review!! Ron had to get mad at Hermione, I mean, she is dating their former enemy, but what Ron doesn't understand, is that he's changed. Now I might skip days or weeks or months or something, so I hope you don't mind. Well, onto the next chapter!
