"Where do we start?" Hermione asked when they reached their common room. She was nervous. How could she do this? Would it be all right?
"Well first I point my want towards you. Oh you have to take off your shirt." He waited for her to do that. He was tempted to forget the spell and enjoy himself but he heard his son whimper. "Ok. Next I repeat this spell three times and it should work."
"Right then. We should get started." She said looking at him. He looked a little nervous but nodded. "Wait there is a reversal spell for this right?"
"Uh yeah sure." He said quickly. She looked at him strangely but said nothing. She'd hex him if he were wrong. Whether she loved him or not
"Alright I'm ready." She said breathing heavily. Draco pointed his want towards her breasts and took a deep breath. He started the spell.
"Lactens animo infans." He said looking at the parchment. Hermione started to feel strange. Her body felt extremely sensitive all of a sudden. She moved around a bit.
"Lactens animo infans." He repeated. Hermione felt her skin start to stretch and her breasts became fuller. She looked down and saw them swelling up. Her skin turned a slight pink color from the blood moving around.
"Lactens animo infans." He finished and he watched her breathing very hard. He started at her silent as she looked down. The very second this happened their son started to cry and Hermione gasped.
"I'm leaking." She whined grabbing the small baby in her arms. "I knew I shouldn't have listened to you."
"Come on lets see. Can't be all that bad." He said pulling her bra down. In fact it was that bad. The milk had already started forming at the baby's cry and he could see that it was straining on her breasts. "Well dinner time."
He said putting his hands in his pockets looking as innocent as possible. She gave him a death glare but sat down with her son. She placed him against her chest and tried to nuzzle him closer.
"It's ok sweetie. Come on time to eat." She cooed to the baby who was fussing. He looked at her with his beautiful blue eyes and moved his mouth in a sucking motion. "Yes you're hungry I know. Come on baby. I don't know how to do this. We'll just have to improvise."
She guided his little mouth towards her and Draco knelt down carefully watching as his son found her breast and eagerly started sucking. Hermione made a small whimper of pain but continued to let the baby suck.
After a few minutes of adjusting Hermione got into a position that she felt comfortable with.
"Now I know why women prefer bottles." She joked watching the little boy suck happily away.
"Why's that?" Draco asked holding his sleeping daughter in his arms.
"It's less painful. Why do women in your family breast feed anyway?" She asked curiously
"Stronger. Better immune system, lots of reason. Mostly tradition." He said lazily.
"I thought you didn't follow tradition." She said quietly.
"Mostly don't. Just a few though." He said watching carefully as Hermione shifted.
"It's not that bad." She said looking at the way he watched her. He grinned triumphantly and leaned back as his little girl squirmed. "I think she'll be hungry. I'm almost done with him."
"You know we can't keep calling them him or her. They got to have names."
"Yeah I know. Give her here." Hermione slowly moved her son from her breast and handed it to Draco. He grabbed a napkin from the table and burped the now full baby. "Didn't think you knew how to do that."
"Like I said miss Granger. More to me than meets the eye."
The little girl started suckling the second she was close enough. Hermione laughed and started at her for a moment. "Ashleigh."
"What?" Draco looked at her strangely.
"Ashleigh." She repeated. "Her name. I read it in Hogwarts a history. It's English."
"Really who was she? Better not have been some git." Draco warned.
"She was only one of the greatest witches, who happened to belong to the Slytherin house." She said smugly. Draco raised an eye and smirked.
"Hmm. There is hope for you yet." He commented looking down and his cooing son. "So what's your name going to be?"
Hermione watched as he went through names, careful to exclude family names. "You know if you want I can choose"
"SEBASTIAN!"
"Who?"
"Sebastian Vipera. Only the best seeker in Slytherin."
"I still don't know who you're talking about but it's Quidditch so I'll just agree with you."
"What's wrong with Quidditch?" Draco defended.
"Oh nothing. It's just a sport that's all." She said. She'd actually liked Quidditch for a while but Harry and Ron would ONLY talk about Quidditch.
"You got something against my sport Granger?" He asked shifting Sebastian in his arms.
"No. I have nothing against YOUR sport except that that's all anyone talks about." He said and got up. Ashleigh had finished feeding and Hermione was wondering where they'd sleep.
"So do you want to take one and I'll take one?" She asked looking towards their rooms.
"Sure. I'll have one side of the bed and you can have the other." He said knowing exactly what she had meant.
"No I meant room wise." She corrected.
"What makes you think I want to be in one room knowing my child is in the other?" He said getting up. "Or their mother for that matter."
"What makes you think their mother wants to be in the same bed as you?" She teased. The glimmer in her eye let him know she was joking.
"Oh I'm crushed." He said sarcastically. He walked into his room and placed Sebastian on the bed. He came back and grabbed Hermione around the waist and lifted her up into his arms, baby and all.
"Draco!" She hissed as he gently placed her onto his bed.
"What?" He said grinning. She threw a pillow at his head and he caught it expertly. He lifted his wand and looked to the large space next to his bed. He lifted his wand towards the space and said a spell. Hermione watched as two baby cots appeared.
She smiled and picked up Ashleigh. Placing her gently in one of the cots she tucked her in careful that she could breath.
"Night sunshine." She whispered and went back for Sebastian. Draco watched as she placed the baby in his cot and kissed him goodnight. It hadn't been a day and he knew she felt attached. He wondered if his cousin had been right in choosing this type of assignment for them. He felt strongly attached already and he smiled at the way Hermione treated these children, even if they weren't real.
He knew he'd assumed right when he'd thought she'd make a good mother. Her attentiveness and her gentle nature made her balanced.
"What?" She asked seeing the way he looked at her.
"Nothing. Just admiring the view." He said. She still had her top off and she grinned.
"Let me go get my nightgown." She started walking out of the room but his hand stopped her.
"No."
"No?"
"No." He pulled her towards the bed grinning evilly.
"Draco. We can't. They'll wake up." She protested. Sure she enjoyed this but the children. "I wish it were true."
"We can be quiet." He said innocently. He made his best impression of a set of puppy eyes and pouted. A look Hermione Granger never thought to see from Draco Malfoy.
"Hmm." She groaned when she felt his mouth cover hers. She was completely his. Anything he wanted she would give him. The only fear in her heart, was when this going to end.

Bright sunshine shone into Hermione Granger's eyes as she slowly woke up from another blissful night with Draco. She heard a baby crying and jolted out of bed to go see what was wrong. She saw that Ashleigh was crying because she had just woken up, along with her mother. She took Ashleigh in her arms and cradled her while she watched Draco and Sebastian sleep.
Hermione crawled back into bed with Ashleigh in her arms and she watched the man that she loved sleep. She didn't think that her life could get any better. She was in love with Draco and she had two children with him. While she was thinking, she saw that Draco's eyes fluttered as he was waking up as well.
"Good Morning, sunshine," Draco said while he brushed Ashleigh's small cheek with his finger and he looked lovingly up at Hermione.
"I wonder who in this school knows what a good, caring father you are Draco," Hermione said sarcastically.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. So funny." He said while kissing her.
"How does it feel being so different now?" Draco asked her.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked back.
"You know, like losing your virginity?" Draco said to her.
"I don't know. It feels strange yet good." Hermione said to him.
"How did you feel losing your virginity?" She added.
"I don't know scared probably." He said.
"Really? The sex god Malfoy scared?" Hermione joked.
"Shut up. Yes, I was scared. I was fourteen." Draco said.
"Who did you lose it to?" Hermione asked.
"I don't think you want to go there." He replied.
"I think I do, Draco Malfoy. Tell me." She said while tickling him.
"Fine, fine. I'll tell you." Draco said
"It was a family friend. Her name was Karin Fruth. She went to Hogwarts, she's the same age as us." Draco said.
"But then why don't we know -." Draco cut her off.
"We- well, you- don't know of her because she moved away. It was at her fifteenth birthday party, after it, actually. I was drunk and so was she- I think. She got pregnant from that night. However, she had an abortion. Things got really weird between us and she left. Our parents still don't know why, at family gatherings why things are so forced and strange whenever we have to see each other. She asked to be placed into Beauxbatons. She's still there I think." Draco said.
"Oh, Draco. I'm sorry." Hermione said.
"Its not that big of a deal. That's why I became a 'player'. I didn't want to get feelings involved. It was because I knew what could happen. I think I'm starting to change though." Hermione kissed him, but they broke off because Sebastian was crying.
Draco got up and picked up the crying baby. His cries softened when his father carried him to the bed with his mother and sister.
He got back into bed and Sebastian moved his little arms around until he was comfortably placed on his father's stomach. Hermione smiled and watched as the baby opened his eyes looking straight at Draco. Their eyes were identical. There expression was also the same.
Both held a curiosity in them. Draco was so intrigued by the real likeness to a real child and the baby seemed to wonder about this man who held him so protectively.
Ashleigh just looked up at her mother with expectant eyes. Hermione smiled and placed the baby against her chest. There was a maternal instinct in her that let her know she was hungry.
Hermione looked down at her daughter and wondered what she would do if this were all real. If Draco was her husband and these were her children.
Draco ran his fingers over her skin gently and lovingly. She knew he loved her but he didn't know her feelings for him. He didn't know that she adored him. That maybe she'd always had feelings for him but they'd been suppressed.
She'd honestly thought she'd hated him all these years. She'd cried every time he insulted her with the mudblood comments or any other insult he could come up with. Maybe they hurt so much because HE was saying them.
When they'd first met she'd thought he was cute. After making head girl she'd HAD to work with him and after having a very serious talk with him they'd agreed to put house and muggle differences aside to be able to survive.
This had been beneficial for both parties. She'd seen him in a new light and he'd found some respect for her. He saw her as a human being instead of just a muggle.
She had found out that he was a lot gentler when not under pressure, still a bit of a git but not so much.
They would actually stay up and talk. When the deal had started they'd started spending more time together. He'd play chess with her. He'd even agreed one night to play a muggle game with her. Monopoly.
Now though he amazed her. He was so different when it came to intimacy. So gentle and caring she couldn't resist not only liking him but also loving him.
"What?" He asked her when he noticed her staring at him.
"Oh nothing." He said smiling. She looked at the time. It was still early. Ashleigh finished feeding and she took Sebastian from Draco's arms. It was Tuesday and they would have classes. They wouldn't have muggle class until Thursday and on Saturday they were going to have their full grade lesson.
"Got to start on our muggle practical on Thursday." He commented playing with Ashleigh's soft hair. "Don't look at me like that sunshine."
Hermione laughed at the look she was giving him. It was a mix of frustration and a bit of discomfort.
"Uh Draco you might be good with children but I think you'll need to get your wand." She teased. He looked at her strangely. "Look at her diaper."
Draco did and made a face of disgust. "Oh for Merlin's sake."
"Welcome to parenthood." She said and got up with Sebastian attached to her breast. "I'm going to go have a bath. I'm taking the baby with me. You can come in once you've finished with Ashleigh."
He gave her an annoyed glare but got up and placed his daughter on the bed.
"How can so much come out of one little person?" She heard him complain.
She just laughed.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The week past uneventfully, well except for the seventh years children. Poor Nevil and Pansy had ended up making a pram for four children and amazingly Pansy wasn't such a bad mother. Nevil was very afraid of her if she caught him not taking care of "her" children properly.
They all sat at dinner on Friday and were all talking. It was amusing to see how some of the seventh years had changed tables. Those who had become very attached to the children seemed to want to be with their partners and since they were all mixed they agreed to swap seating arrangements. This didn't seem to bother the younger years that much since their head girl and head boy seemed to be getting along nicely.
"This is working out splendidly." Dumbledore said. "I congratulate the both of you."
Deo and Medea smiled. Medea was busy feeding Steven. He was happily suckling away and the teachers and students had gotten quite used to it. He only took a bottle when it wasn't milk.
"I told you. Once you get he older ones to co-operate the younger ones will follow their examples. I'll admit there will always be some rivalry it's only natural but this is going to work out better than we thought." Deo commented.
"I see things are patching up between most Slytherin's and Gryfinndor's." Professor Flitwick said excitedly. Teaching had become a little easier now that the students weren't always at each other's throats.
"I think the example our two head students have made has been a large part of the reason." Dumbledore said looking over and Draco and Hermione. Hermione was feeding Ashleigh and he laughed slightly watching the face Ron and Harry were making.
"I don't understand why men get so uptight about breastfeeding." Medea complained watching many of the male students make faces at Hermione.
Amazingly she hadn't been the only one to give it a shot. Some other girls from the houses had been trying it and they would see the difference.
"It's a guy thing." Deo said looking at her with a bit of nausea.
"Medea I have one question." Snape asked in his usual tone. "How did you choose the paring?"
"I didn't." She said honestly. They all looked at her except Deo.
"What do you mean you didn't?" Sprout asked.
"It was quite interesting. Steven chose them." She said looking down at her son. He was very talented and would be a great wizard. His only magic at the moment was floating things but that floating seemed to have altered things.
"Steven?" Deo looked interested now. She hadn't told him this.
"Yes. The night I was choosing the seating arrangements the parchments started floating around the room. Steven was wide-awake and playing. He suddenly started floating some of my dragon blood and phoenix tail ink. (I actually have dragon blood ink.) It all spilt and I thought I'd have to write them all out again but it was strange. The names started to change places. They started matching each other up."
"What happened?" Professor McGonagoll asked curiously. "I heard that dragon blood and phoenix tail is quite powerful when mixed."
"It was. I looked at the names and thought I'd try them. It was incredible but it worked. The students pay attention in class. They work together harmoniously. They've alert and actually manage to help each other."
"Well I see we're having a very good year indeed." Dumbledore said happily. "I will make the announcement you asked Deo."
"Yes please."
"Will all years please listen?" He announced. "For the first time in Hogwarts we will be asking all students to bring their families in for a weekend."
They all gasped, their families here? What if they were muggles?
"This will be a weekend event and ALL families must attend." Harry looked distressed. Draco looked even more pale than usual. Most of the other students looked horrified. Hermione looked nervous.
"This is to be a weekend when your families arrive you will show them around the school and they may speak to the teachers. This will also give your families a chance to understand more about our school for those who have not been here before."
At the Gryfinndor table Harry held tightly onto Hailey. She was cooing and looking up at her father happily. Harry did not look happy though.
"They can't be serious?" He said nervously. The only family he had was Sirus black and the Dursleys. I can't bring my aunt and uncle here. Especially not my cousin."
"Sirus will be here so don't worry. They won't be able to do anything. Besides you can use magic here." Hermione said smirking. Lavender and Ginny grinned seeing the exact smirk on Draco across the great hall. He was holding Sebastian in his arms. Everyone agreed that the names suited the two children perfectly.
"True but I doubt they'll come." He said. "Sirus will no problem. His paper work is all filled out. He's been cleared. So this summer I'm going to go live with him."
"They have to come. I think our teachers will find a way for them to come." Ron said.
"I heard about this." One of the Ravenclaw's said. He was sitting with his Gryfinndor partner and their son. "I heard professor Averieale sent a letter out to all our family and relatives. They have to come. Or nicely put she'd "hex" them."
"You know for a Slytherin she's a great teacher." Ron said. Harry and Hermione nodded.
"Hermione. Draco is looking at you." Lavender said teasingly. She turned around and saw Draco looking straight at her with a grin. Harry looked very angry and watched as Draco got up.
"Hey Hermione you're coming with us to the lake tomorrow morning right?" Ginny asked. Some of the girls from the houses were going to go even the Slytherin girls.
"Yeah. I actually feel sorry for Pansy. Four kids. It was brave of Nevil to sit with her." Her laughter rang through the hall and Draco watched her from the doors.
Harry was the only one who noticed this.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The next morning Hermione woke up earlier than Draco. This wasn't unusual but she had to get ready to go to the lake. Draco slept with a smile on his face. They'd decided to stay in his room though Hermione had started brining some of her things into "their" room.
"I know you're moving around." A voice said from the bed. She turned around and saw Draco's eyes open.
"I didn't want to wake you up." She said. She was brushing her hair out and he watched as her hair shone in the morning sun.
"You can keep the children with me while you're at the lake." He offered.
"No I would like to take them with me. All the girls are taking their kids but if you want we can meet up and you can bring Ashleigh. I know you wanted to take her with you today."
"Yeah. Sebastian is coming with me tomorrow. If I take both of them down there to the common room it gets hard to keep them from cooing at everyone."
"Yeah." She said smiling. She got ready and got Sebastian ready. They had a free period that morning for all seventh and sixth years. After that it was charms, potions and DADA.
"Well meet up after breakfast." He said and motioned for her to come closer.
"What?" She asked teasingly. He pulled her forward and grabbed her in a passionate kiss. He grinned and lay back down to sleep.
"See you at breakfast." He mumbled before going back to sleep.
"I think I'm wearing him out." She whispered grabbing the baby pram and placing a sleeping Sebastian inside.
She walked out of the head student's common room and headed for an early breakfast.
Harry sat there waiting for his partner to take Hailey. She got there and happily took the baby saying that she'd come for him later.
Harry smiled and saw Hermione come in with Sebastian.
"Where's Ashleigh?" He asked looking at the dirty blond boy.
"With Draco." She said calmly. He narrowed his eyes at the way she said his name. She'd started using his first name a while ago and it bothered him.
"Right. Think it's safe to keep her with him? Might drown her or something." He joked.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and tried to suppress her anger. "You know he's not all that bad. He's good with children."
"Oh you would know. Having two children with him." He said calmly.
"Yes I do. He takes good care of them." She said just as calmly.
They didn't speak for the rest of breakfast and Draco came in carrying Ashleigh in a portable baby carrier. He sat with his Slytherin companions and they talked. Hermione left with the other seventh and sixth years and Harry watched Draco follow after them.
He got up quickly ignoring Ron who had just walked into the hall and raced after Draco who was after Hermione.
"MALFOY!" He called his wand in his hand. Draco turned around still holding his daughter and looked seriously at Harry.
"Potter I don't have time for this. What do you want?" He asked smoothly. He'd learned to control his anger around the golden boy.
Harry stood there unable to say anything. Draco sneered and looked at his child. He grinned at her little face and turned to walk away.
"Draco, come back. I think we have to settle something"

"Where do we start?" Hermione asked when they reached their common room. She was nervous. How could she do this? Would it be all right?

"Its not that big of a deal. That's why I became a 'player'. I didn't want to get feelings involved. It was because I knew what could happen. I think I'm starting to change though." Hermione kissed him, but they broke off because Sebastian was crying.
Draco got up and picked up the crying baby. His cries softened when his father carried him to the bed with his mother and sister.
He got back into bed and Sebastian moved his little arms around until he was comfortably placed on his father's stomach. Hermione smiled and watched as the baby opened his eyes looking straight at Draco. Their eyes were identical. There expression was also the same.
Both held a curiosity in them. Draco was so intrigued by the real likeness to a real child and the baby seemed to wonder about this man who held him so protectively.
Ashleigh just looked up at her mother with expectant eyes. Hermione smiled and placed the baby against her chest. There was a maternal instinct in her that let her know she was hungry.
Hermione looked down at her daughter and wondered what she would do if this were all real. If Draco was her husband and these were her children.
Draco ran his fingers over her skin gently and lovingly. She knew he loved her but he didn't know her feelings for him. He didn't know that she adored him. That maybe she'd always had feelings for him but they'd been suppressed.
She'd honestly thought she'd hated him all these years. She'd cried every time he insulted her with the mudblood comments or any other insult he could come up with. Maybe they hurt so much because HE was saying them.
When they'd first met she'd thought he was cute. After making head girl she'd HAD to work with him and after having a very serious talk with him they'd agreed to put house and muggle differences aside to be able to survive.
This had been beneficial for both parties. She'd seen him in a new light and he'd found some respect for her. He saw her as a human being instead of just a muggle.
She had found out that he was a lot gentler when not under pressure, still a bit of a git but not so much.
They would actually stay up and talk. When the deal had started they'd started spending more time together. He'd play chess with her. He'd even agreed one night to play a muggle game with her. Monopoly.
Now though he amazed her. He was so different when it came to intimacy. So gentle and caring she couldn't resist not only liking him but also loving him.
"What?" He asked her when he noticed her staring at him.
"Oh nothing." He said smiling. She looked at the time. It was still early. Ashleigh finished feeding and she took Sebastian from Draco's arms. It was Tuesday and they would have classes. They wouldn't have muggle class until Thursday and on Saturday they were going to have their full grade lesson.
"Got to start on our muggle practical on Thursday." He commented playing with Ashleigh's soft hair. "Don't look at me like that sunshine."
Hermione laughed at the look she was giving him. It was a mix of frustration and a bit of discomfort.
"Uh Draco you might be good with children but I think you'll need to get your wand." She teased. He looked at her strangely. "Look at her diaper."
Draco did and made a face of disgust. "Oh for Merlin's sake."
"Welcome to parenthood." She said and got up with Sebastian attached to her breast. "I'm going to go have a bath. I'm taking the baby with me. You can come in once you've finished with Ashleigh."
He gave her an annoyed glare but got up and placed his daughter on the bed.
"How can so much come out of one little person?" She heard him complain.
She just laughed.

The week past uneventfully, well except for the seventh years children. Poor Nevil and Pansy had ended up making a pram for four children and amazingly Pansy wasn't such a bad mother. Nevil was very afraid of her if she caught him not taking care of "her" children properly.
They all sat at dinner on Friday and were all talking. It was amusing to see how some of the seventh years had changed tables. Those who had become very attached to the children seemed to want to be with their partners and since they were all mixed they agreed to swap seating arrangements. This didn't seem to bother the younger years that much since their head girl and head boy seemed to be getting along nicely.
"This is working out splendidly." Dumbledore said. "I congratulate the both of you."
Deo and Medea smiled. Medea was busy feeding Steven. He was happily suckling away and the teachers and students had gotten quite used to it. He only took a bottle when it wasn't milk.
"I told you. Once you get he older ones to co-operate the younger ones will follow their examples. I'll admit there will always be some rivalry it's only natural but this is going to work out better than we thought." Deo commented.
"I see things are patching up between most Slytherin's and Gryfinndor's." Professor Flitwick said excitedly. Teaching had become a little easier now that the students weren't always at each other's throats.
"I think the example our two head students have made has been a large part of the reason." Dumbledore said looking over and Draco and Hermione. Hermione was feeding Ashleigh and he laughed slightly watching the face Ron and Harry were making.
"I don't understand why men get so uptight about breastfeeding." Medea complained watching many of the male students make faces at Hermione.
Amazingly she hadn't been the only one to give it a shot. Some other girls from the houses had been trying it and they would see the difference.
"It's a guy thing." Deo said looking at her with a bit of nausea.
"Medea I have one question." Snape asked in his usual tone. "How did you choose the paring?"
"I didn't." She said honestly. They all looked at her except Deo.
"What do you mean you didn't?" Sprout asked.
"It was quite interesting. Steven chose them." She said looking down at her son. He was very talented and would be a great wizard. His only magic at the moment was floating things but that floating seemed to have altered things.
"Steven?" Deo looked interested now. She hadn't told him this.
"Yes. The night I was choosing the seating arrangements the parchments started floating around the room. Steven was wide-awake and playing. He suddenly started floating some of my dragon blood and phoenix tail ink. (I actually have dragon blood ink.) It all spilt and I thought I'd have to write them all out again but it was strange. The names started to change places. They started matching each other up."
"What happened?" Professor McGonagoll asked curiously. "I heard that dragon blood and phoenix tail is quite powerful when mixed."
"It was. I looked at the names and thought I'd try them. It was incredible but it worked. The students pay attention in class. They work together harmoniously. They've alert and actually manage to help each other."
"Well I see we're having a very good year indeed." Dumbledore said happily. "I will make the announcement you asked Deo."
"Yes please."
"Will all years please listen?" He announced. "For the first time in Hogwarts we will be asking all students to bring their families in for a weekend."
They all gasped, their families here? What if they were muggles?
"This will be a weekend event and ALL families must attend." Harry looked distressed. Draco looked even more pale than usual. Most of the other students looked horrified. Hermione looked nervous.
"This is to be a weekend when your families arrive you will show them around the school and they may speak to the teachers. This will also give your families a chance to understand more about our school for those who have not been here before."
At the Gryfinndor table Harry held tightly onto Hailey. She was cooing and looking up at her father happily. Harry did not look happy though.
"They can't be serious?" He said nervously. The only family he had was Sirus black and the Dursleys. I can't bring my aunt and uncle here. Especially not my cousin."
"Sirus will be here so don't worry. They won't be able to do anything. Besides you can use magic here." Hermione said smirking. Lavender and Ginny grinned seeing the exact smirk on Draco across the great hall. He was holding Sebastian in his arms. Everyone agreed that the names suited the two children perfectly.
"True but I doubt they'll come." He said. "Sirus will no problem. His paper work is all filled out. He's been cleared. So this summer I'm going to go live with him."
"They have to come. I think our teachers will find a way for them to come." Ron said.
"I heard about this." One of the Ravenclaw's said. He was sitting with his Gryfinndor partner and their son. "I heard professor Averieale sent a letter out to all our family and relatives. They have to come. Or nicely put she'd "hex" them."
"You know for a Slytherin she's a great teacher." Ron said. Harry and Hermione nodded.
"Hermione. Draco is looking at you." Lavender said teasingly. She turned around and saw Draco looking straight at her with a grin. Harry looked very angry and watched as Draco got up.
"Hey Hermione you're coming with us to the lake tomorrow morning right?" Ginny asked. Some of the girls from the houses were going to go even the Slytherin girls.
"Yeah. I actually feel sorry for Pansy. Four kids. It was brave of Nevil to sit with her." Her laughter rang through the hall and Draco watched her from the doors.
Harry was the only one who noticed this.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The next morning Hermione woke up earlier than Draco. This wasn't unusual but she had to get ready to go to the lake. Draco slept with a smile on his face. They'd decided to stay in his room though Hermione had started brining some of her things into "their" room.
"I know you're moving around." A voice said from the bed. She turned around and saw Draco's eyes open.
"I didn't want to wake you up." She said. She was brushing her hair out and he watched as her hair shone in the morning sun.
"You can keep the children with me while you're at the lake." He offered.
"No I would like to take them with me. All the girls are taking their kids but if you want we can meet up and you can bring Ashleigh. I know you wanted to take her with you today."
"Yeah. Sebastian is coming with me tomorrow. If I take both of them down there to the common room it gets hard to keep them from cooing at everyone."
"Yeah." She said smiling. She got ready and got Sebastian ready. They had a free period that morning for all seventh and sixth years. After that it was charms, potions and DADA.
"Well meet up after breakfast." He said and motioned for her to come closer.
"What?" She asked teasingly. He pulled her forward and grabbed her in a passionate kiss. He grinned and lay back down to sleep.
"See you at breakfast." He mumbled before going back to sleep.
"I think I'm wearing him out." She whispered grabbing the baby pram and placing a sleeping Sebastian inside.
She walked out of the head student's common room and headed for an early breakfast.
Harry sat there waiting for his partner to take Hailey. She got there and happily took the baby saying that she'd come for him later.
Harry smiled and saw Hermione come in with Sebastian.
"Where's Ashleigh?" He asked looking at the dirty blond boy.
"With Draco." She said calmly. He narrowed his eyes at the way she said his name. She'd started using his first name a while ago and it bothered him.
"Right. Think it's safe to keep her with him? Might drown her or something." He joked.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and tried to suppress her anger. "You know he's not all that bad. He's good with children."
"Oh you would know. Having two children with him." He said calmly.
"Yes I do. He takes good care of them." She said just as calmly.
They didn't speak for the rest of breakfast and Draco came in carrying Ashleigh in a portable baby carrier. He sat with his Slytherin companions and they talked. Hermione left with the other seventh and sixth years and Harry watched Draco follow after them.
He got up quickly ignoring Ron who had just walked into the hall and raced after Draco who was after Hermione.
"MALFOY!" He called his wand in his hand. Draco turned around still holding his daughter and looked seriously at Harry.
"Potter I don't have time for this. What do you want?" He asked smoothly. He'd learned to control his anger around the golden boy.
Harry stood there unable to say anything. Draco sneered and looked at his child. He grinned at her little face and turned to walk away.
"Draco, come back. I think we have to settle something"
