Chapter 13
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Hermione and Ginny flooed into Diagon Alley and put the two kids into a day care center while they went to get their dresses. "Now, where to go first," Ginny said. Hermione dashed to flourish and blotts. Ginny laughed and followed Hermione. She was rushing around, looking for various books to read on the plane to Hawaii for her and Draco's honeymoon. They decided to fly to Hawaii, stay there for a week, take a cruise to California, then a plane back to England.
"Hurry up Moine," Ginny cried, "we still need to find dresses!" Hermione found one last book and paid for them. She shrunk her books and stuck them in her pocket. "Ginny," Hermione said. "Yeah," Ginny replied, looking at Hermione. "Will you be my maid of honor," Hermione asked. "Of Course I will!" Ginny squealed, hugging Hermione. Hermione smiled and she and Ginny went off to look for dresses.
"Try this one on Moine," Ginny said, holding up a snow-white dress with a V- cut neck. It was tight at the top and flared out from the hips down. It was V-cut down to the small of the back with three quarter length sleeves. Hermione took the dress and went into the changing rooms and tried it on. A few minutes later, Hermione walked out and twirled around.
"Do you like it?" Hermione asked. "I love it Moine! It looks so good on you," Ginny said. "I'll get this one then," Hermione said. She went back into the changing room and put her clothes back on and walked out. "Now for your dress Gin,' Hermione said. They started to walk around the store and Hermione pulled out a deep blue dress with gold sparkles. It was tight at the top and flared a little from the hips down, it had a slit running up the front and was sleeve-less.
"Oh Gin! You need to try this on!" Hermione squealed giving the dress to Ginny and pushing her towards the dressing rooms. Ginny laughed. "Ok, ok, I'm going Moine," Ginny said. She shut the door to the dressing room and Hermione waited outside with her dress. "Moine!" someone called from behind her. Hermione turned and saw Lavender walking towards her, looking very good for someone who was almost due.
"Hey Lav!" Hermione called. Ginny walked out and cleared her throat. "Ohmigosh Gin! It's gorgeous!" Hermione said. Ginny blushed, "thanks." Ron came up behind Lavender and took his hand in hers. "Hey Gin, Moine," Ron said, "What's the occasion?" Ginny giggled, "Hermione's finally getting married!" Lavender beamed and hugged Hermione. "Who's the lucky man?" Lavender asked.
"Draco," Hermione said, she expected Ron to start yelling at her, but he was smiling. "I wanted to apologize," Ron started, "I shouldn't have gotten made, I trust your judgments and I'm behind you 100%" Hermione flung her arms around Ron and hugged him, "Thanks Ron, that's very grown up of you." Ginny went back into the dressing rooms and changed back into her old clothes, her dress in hand. "When is the baby due, Lav?" Ginny asked.
"Three weeks," Lavender replied happily. "Congratulations!" Hermione squealed, hugging Lavender. Ginny hugged Lavender and turned to Ron, "Take care of her Ron." Ron smiled, "don't worry, I am." Ginny hugged her brother and stepped back. "C'mon Moine, we gotta go shopping," Ginny said. "Bye Guys," Hermione said, walking up to the counter. She paid for the dresses and walked out of the store with Ginny.
They picked the kids up and flooed to hogsmade. The four walked into the three broomsticks and found a table near the back. "What can I get for you dears," Madame Rosemeta asked. "Four Butterbeers please," Ginny said. "Oh My! Ginny? Hermione? Is that you? How good to see you again!" Rosemeta said. "It's good to see you too Rosemeta," Hermione said. "Mummy! Are we going to eat?" Amy asked. "In a minute sweetie, Aunt Ginny asked if we could go up to Hogwarts and get something to eat and Professor Dumbledore said it was alright," Hermione said.
"Are they yours Hermione," Rosemeta asked. "Oh no, not yet, after me and Draco get married, we're going to adopt them," Hermione said. "You and Draco are getting married?" Rosemeta asked, Hermione nodded, a huge grin on her face. "Congratulations," she said, "oh right, four butterbeers, right away." Madame Rosemeta came back a few minutes later with the butterbeers and bid them good day. Hermione and Ginny were talking about old school days and the two kids were drinking their butterbeer quietly.
"Now we get to go up to Hogwarts for lunch," Ginny said. The four got into a carriage that lead up to the castle. After about fifteen minutes, the carriage came to a stop and they got out. "Welcome to Hogwarts kids," Hermione said. They walked up the stone steps and into the castle. "Welcome Back Hermione, Ginny," Dumbledore's voice boomed across the entrance hall, "Where's Draco and Harry?"
"Girls day out I guess you can say, the boys wanted the house to themselves, so we took the kids with us," Hermione said. Dumbledore chuckled, his blue eyes twinkling behind his half-moon spectacles. "Well come up to the office and we'll get you some lunch," Dumbledore said, walking up the stairs. Hermione, Ginny, Amy and Corey followed him.
"Fizzing wizbees," Dumbledore said. The gargoyle sprang open and they walked up the staircase into his office. There was a lunch already made up in his office. "It's just like I remember it Professor," Hermione said. "Oh please, Albus, you are no longer students," Dumbledore, said. He sat down and motioned for the girls and Corey to sit down as well.
They spent the rest of the afternoon in Dumbledore's office, eating and chatting happily. "Hogwarts just isn't the same without you kids," Dumbledore said. "Oh! Pro-Albus, is that Transfiguration job still open?" Hermione asked. "It will be for next year, why?" Dumbledore said.
"Well I thought that after I married Draco, then I could come and work here," Hermione said. "Ah! So you're getting married?" Dumbledore asked, his eyes twinkling. "Yes we are, we need to set a date though," Hermione said. "Well that's good to hear," Dumbledore said.
Hermione looked at Dumbledore strangely until Corey snapped her out of her thoughts. "Um, Mummy, weren't you going to show us around," Corey asked. "Oh yes! Of course, you don't mind do you Albus?" Hermione asked. "No not at all, I can't wait until they start," Dumbledore said. Hermione smiled, "ok kids, c'mon, I'll send you an owl later Albus." Dumbledore nodded and watched the four walk out of the room.
Hermione and Ginny showed them the Great Hall, all the classrooms, the old common room, after they found out the password from Dumbledore. The Room of Requirement and just about anywhere else they could find. "What do you say Gin, take the old passage way to honeydukes?" Hermione said. Ginny grinned widely and nodded. They walked to the humpback witch "Dissendium," Hermione whispered. The witch opened and they walked through the passage and soon ended up in honeydukes.
"Where now," Ginny asked as they walked out of Honeydukes, pockets filled with candy. Hermione grinned and showed the kids every place in hogsmade, from the shrieking shack to the post office. They went to the muggle store that was there and bought some stuff and just had so much fun. Hermione and Ginny told them more stories and laughed at their reactions at some of the jokes at Zonkos.
"Mummy," Corey said, "when are we going home? I'm starting to get tired." Hermione looked at her watch, it was already 11:30 at night, and they spent the whole day at hogsmade. "It's really late Gin, we better get home," Hermione said. They went back into the three broomsticks and flooed to the leaky cauldron. "See you later Gin," Hermione said, giving Ginny a hug.
"Bye," Ginny said and apperated to her and Harry's house. "C'mon kids, we'll all go together," Hermione said. The three stepped into the fireplace and Hermione threw the floo powder down and screamed, "The Granger House!" The came out in Hermione's living room and Hermione brushed the kids off.
"Lets get you two upstairs," Hermione whispered. The three walked upstairs and Hermione put them to bed and put away all their new things. Hermione walked into her room and put all her stuff away. Draco wasn't in the room, so she checked his room, he wasn't in there either. So she walked downstairs and found him in the Den, sleeping on the couch.
Hermione walked over to Draco and shook him gently. "Draco sweetie, wake up," she whispered in his ear. Draco mumbled something and turned over. Hermione kissed his check. "C'mon Draco, we need to go upstairs," Hermione said. Draco opened his eyes slowly and smiled at Hermione. "Did you have fun love?" Draco asked, sitting up.
"Tons," Hermione said. She kissed Draco softly. "Let's go upstairs," she said. Draco nodded and stood up; he pulled Hermione close to him and kissed her deeply. "I love you Hermione Granger," Draco whispered in her hair. "I love you Draco Malfoy," Hermione said. Draco lifted her up in his arms and carried her upstairs.
Hermione ran from his grasp and got changed into her PJs. She slipped into bed next to Draco and rested her head on his chest. Draco kissed Hermione's head. "Sweet Dreams love," Draco murmured. Hermione's and Draco's fingers entwined and Hermione sighed, she felt so right laying here with Draco, and soon her thoughts slipped to dreams as she fell into a peaceful sleep.
