She tried to move her arms but they too were held in place and she felt a shiver run down her spine.
Her senses started to form again and she knew exactly who was behind her, a man not too big but large enough to hold her down without any difficulty. She growled in annoyance and frustration and bite down on the man's hand.
"DAMN IT!" He cried out and let go of her.
"Jimmy." She growled angrily. "Does Clover know your kidnapping for a living?"
"Well I didn't know you had muggle rabies." He said shaking his hand in pain. "Damn it. I knew you were violent but I never thought you'd actually bite me."
"Untie me now." She ordered. He muttered the reversal charms and she turned around looking very annoyed.
"Never thought I'd actually get you." He said to her. He grinned at her through his pain. "Has motherhood taken its toll? Or has the great Slytherin queen lost her touch?"
"Oh no. The Slytherin queen would never loose her touch." A beautiful woman said. Her swollen stomach announcing to the world of her pregnancy, her uncovered arms showed a very distinct birthmark.
"Clover." Medea squealed and forgot all about Jimmy. Running towards her and hugging her tightly, the two women hugged and almost broke into tears. It had been a long time since they'd seen each other.
"Hey I'm injured here." Jimmy called out and was greeted by Deo.
"You really think they care?" He said with a smirk.
"Shut it Slytherin." He said good-naturedly.
"I doubt it. You know that. Come on I'll take you to Madam Pomfry. She'll be very happy to treat that." He said sarcastically and they left for the hospital wing. The two women kept talking and walking towards Medea's room.
"I'm so glad you came. I really needed to talk to you." Medea said as they passed the many families.
"What about?" She said. "Has someone found out about your nickname and you need a good memory charm?"
"No. You remember my cousin?"
"The little cute one with the big blue eyes and the big ears?" She asked.
"Yes. Except his ears aren't so big anymore." She said grinning. "You remember my uncle Lucius?"
She made a face at the sound of his name. "Who could forget him?"
"Well Draco has fallen in love with a muggle born witch. She's a Gryfinndor." They stopped at the door of Medea's room and she said the password and they walked in. "My uncle isn't pleased at all. Actually at one point he almost took him out of the school."
"Ouch." She said looking down. "So what happened?"
"A lot. I even sent the girl a letter as if it was Draco so she could see what he went through. Luckily neither has noticed. I need your help in trying to keep them safe. You're the best one at it. Being a DADA master and all the things you know about protecting people."
"Well as long as they're here they'd be safe." She reasoned. Medea shook her head.
"They're not. I'm worried Clover. I see things are deeper than just this hate. He works for Voldemort." She said in a soft voice.
"Voldemort." She shuddered. "So this is a family thing."
"Clover please. You know I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't important. I had a vision. I see something terrible and it includes all of us. If Lucius gets his way and separates Draco and Hermione there is going to be a lot of trouble."
"Hermione?" Clover said softly.
"Yes, her name is Hermione Granger. She's very pretty, brightest student in this school, Clover you should see her. She has intensity about her. Her aura is pure; if Voldemort got his hands on her that purity would be gone. I know it hurts. I know you lost your daughter because you were running from him but this is the only way to save everything."
Clover stayed silent for a long time and sat down rubbing her stomach. "I lost one child because of him Medea. I loved her so much and because I was afraid I lost her, if this girl is so important to you I'll do it but I'd like to see the girl who carries my daughter's name."
"Of course Clover." She said smiling sadly at her.
"So what is going on this weekend?" She asked looking a little better.
"A lot. Deo has some plans for the families of the sixth and seventh years. I think it's a good idea and the rest of the school will each do different things. Also I was wondering would jimmy be willing to be the story teller for the weekend?"
"You know him. He'll dance and sing for joy on tables."
"I know." Medea closed her eyes for a moment then looked at her friend seriously. "Clover? Do you ever think that what happened that night was no accident?"
"I don't wonder Medea. I know. My child was living and breathing. I stay up and wonder at night. I know she was alive. They killed her Medea and for that I will never forgive them."
"But it's the ministry clover would they really go that low?"
"Yes and you know it."

"Sunshine stay still for mommy." Hermione said to her daughter as she tried to put a diaper on her. Little Ashleigh was fussing, not pleased to get dressed up at all but wanted as much attention and to be as difficult as possible, the Malfoy way of course.
"Sebastian, come back here." They heard Draco call from the bathroom followed by little footsteps running around.
Their parents would be there in any second and honestly only Narcissa Malfoy knew about the project. Lucius didn't seem too interested and she had never gotten the chance to tell her parents when she owled them.
A squeal of delight was heard as Draco came in with a large bundle in his arms. Sebastian kicked playfully around his father's arms in the large red towel.
"Let me ask you something Granger." He said in his Malfoy manor though his eyes held amusement. "As a child did you run around and drive your parents mad?"
"Frequently. You can ask my mother once she gets here." She said smiling. "I was a regular hell raiser. My father once said he could never understand where I got my determination or my hell raising ways."
"Mmmm." He said putting Sebastian down and wrapped his arms around her. Their twins looked up at them curiously and Ashleigh sat up and started to toy with her dress, a light green dress with silver trimmings, Draco's choice of course.
Hormone turned her head slowly so she was facing him. Their eyes met and she leaned forward as he bent down ever so slightly to capture her lips in his.
His breath was brushing against her lips as she gently parted her lips. They were so close. Their children watched in sudden fascination. Half an inch away from a hidden bliss.
*-* Mr. Granger walked briskly down the hall to the head girl and boy dorm. He was very anxious to see his daughter. After the owls they'd received about her seeing the Malfoy boy. He had been convinced it was some joke. He had really hoped Harry had been the one his only child chose as a partner. Not some rich stuck up arrogant mommy's boy.
"Darling, please." Mrs. Granger said hurrying behind her husband. "I'm sure he's really a nice boy. Would our Hermione really be with him if he was that bad."
"You know teenagers love. He's probably charmed her with his good looks and bad boy streak. I will not allow my daughter to go out with some git who thinks she's not worthy of being here."
"But dear he wouldn't go out with her if he thought she was not worthy. Give him a chance." She pleaded.
"No." He said when he reached the portrait they'd said was the head girl and boy's dorms.
Already standing there was Lucius Malfoy. He stood with Narcissa Malfoy who as Mrs. Granger was trying to convince him that his son had made the right choice in choosing a girlfriend.
"She's nothing but a filthy mudblood Narcissa." He said coldly ignoring the parents of the girl in question. "No Malfoy has ever been with a muggle born. I will not allow it. If I have to kill them both to keep our bloodline pure I swear to you I will."
"How dare you." Mr. Granger roared. Some of the portraits turned watching the fight that would occur.
Lucius turned as if he had just noticed the grangers. Hermione's mother looked a little pale for fear that her daughter was in danger. Mr. Granger just looked mad. He knew enough about Lucius Malfoy from what the Wesley's had told him to know he didn't want his daughter even six feet near these people.
Narcissa paled even more. She looked very embarrassed and unable to move. Lucius just smirked.
"Well, well. If it isn't Mr. And Mrs. Granger, so nice to see you again." He said with fake courtesy giving a mocking bow.
"You take that back." Mr. Granger retorted. "You take it back immediately."
"Take what back?" Lucius said innocently.
"What you said about my daughter you filthy bastard. How dare you speak of her like that? Your son isn't even worth two cents to her."
"My son?" Lucius suddenly looked furious. "It was your daughter who's bewitched his mind. My son had a future. He would have married a pure blooded woman. Someone worthy of the name Malfoy but no he wants to be with some mudblood."
"My daughter is worth much more than your name." He retorted with his head high. "She's head girl isn't she?"
"Well my son is Head boy." Lucius said. He was still very displeased with his son but would use him to battle if needed. "Disgusting. My son living with a filthy excuse for a witch."
"Hey, it's my daughter who has to live." Mr. Granger suddenly stopped realizing what this git was saying. "MY DAUGHTER IS LIVING WITH YOUR SON?"
Lucius smirked. So the little mudblood whore hadn't told her parents. Well her father since her mother didn't look shocked at all that Hermione was living with Draco.
"Yes. Didn't you know? I suppose your saintly daughter isn't so angelic after all is she." He sneered. "A little whore."
Luckily for Lucius Mr. Granger was too busy banging on the door to hear his last comment.
"HERMONE OPEN THIS DOOR!" He screamed.
*-*
Their lips barely touched as the violent banging started on their door. Followed by the outraged yells from a male.
"HERMIONE OPEN THIS DOOR!" Hermione immediately tensed. Her father, oh no she hadn't told her father about Draco living here, maybe someone told him.
"Oh no. It s my dad." Draco remained calm and looked at his son who was very confused.
"He doesn't sound too pleased." He said coolly. Hermione smacked him lightly. "Ok, ok I'll finish dressing the twins. You go answer the door. I don't think he'll try to kill you.
"Don't count on it." She muttered as she walked towards the door. She was nervous. Her mother knew but not her father. Oh lord he'd have an attack.
She looked at her reflection it the common room mirror and gave a small approving smile.
She wore a long maroon skirt with a matching long sleeve top. The days were warmer. Her hair was in a loose bun with the back handing loose and strands framing her face.
"Open this door this instant." Another voice. Oh no, Lucius Malfoy. It seemed that both father's had gotten into a fight. She slowly made her way to the door and hoped that they hadn't killed each other yet.
Opening the portrait door she saw her father and Lucius Malfoy standing there with their fists raised to the door both looking quite furious.
She saw her exasperated mother holding their bags and a very embarrassed looking Narcissa.
"Father." She said slowly. "So nice to see you. Mum, please come in. Mr. Malfoy, Narcissa." She made sure to be as formal with her father and Draco's father as possible.
"Thank you darling." Her mother said with relief. "Those portraits were all staring at your father." She whispered.
Hermione just smiled. Narcissa leaned forward and gave her a hello kiss before entering with her house elf.
The two men were too caught up in their bickering to notice the door was opened. Hermione ignored them knowing too well that this would happen and made sure the two women were comfortable.
"Were is my son Hermione dear?" Narcissa said calmly.
"He's changing the babies." She said without thinking. Her mother's eyes shot open.
"Babies?" She hissed looking very pale. Hermione covered her mouth. "Hermione what babies?"
"Oh no I forgot to tell you." She said nervously. "We, we have a project for muggle studies. Well part of the assignment is raising our own children."
Mrs. Granger seemed to calm down a little and was grateful she hadn't become angry like her husband.
"Sebastian no." They heard Draco's voice call as the little boy ran into the room looking for his mother.
"MAMA." He cried out proudly. Hermione looked very stunned and immediately looked over to her father and Lucius. Both were staring at the boy as if he was glowing green and was floating on air.
Sebastian ran to his mother and grabbed onto her skirt. He wore a short sleeve shirt with a pair of baggy pants. His hair was combed back and he looked very innocent.
"Sebastian. Sweetie, go back to daddy." Hermione whispered gently trying to pry the little boy back into the room before he two males could react. The two women were statues waiting for the eruption.
"MAMA." He cried again holding up his arms defensi8vly. He wasn't going anywhere and that was final.
"WHAT IS THAT?" Hermione's father cried out startling the small boy. He grabbed onto Hermione suddenly frightened by the older man. "WHY DID THAT BOY CALL YOU MAMA?"
"Because he's my son." She said calmly. No point arguing. They had to know eventually. She hadn't expected it to be like this though.
"Your son?" Lucius said slowly. He stared at the boy for a moment. The boy's eyes were blue, brilliant and shining. Full of bravery and mischief, it was as if he was staring at Draco all over again. Only this boy's hair wasn't bleaching blond, it was a dirty blond.
"And mine." Draco said from the door. "Hello mother. Father." He greeted politely. Mrs. Granger."
"Hello Draco." Mrs. Granger said staring at the boy. He surely was handsome. Very well brought up by the looks of it. She stared intently at the little girl in his arms. She was fidgeting with the green and silver dress.
"Who is that?" Mr. Granger said nervously. He was sure he' have a heart attack soon. His daughter had a son with this git and now this little girl.
"This is Ashleigh. Our daughter." Draco said proudly tickling her. She smiled and Narcissa gasped in joy.
"Oh look at them. Their so adorable." She cried out holding her arms out for Sebastian. He looked at her nervously but Hermione pushed him towards her gently. "So lifelike."
Lucius looked in shock. Even he wasn't prepared for this. He wasn't pleased at all. Last time he'd been there and saw the head girl she hadn't been pregnant. And these children looked at least two.
He stared at Ashleigh and was surprised to see her staring at him intently. Her eyes mirrored his own and if the boy had stunned him at how closely they resembled the Malfoy's then this girl proved it. She was a reflection of the Malfoy beauty.
Her eyes furrowed when she saw him staring back at her. Her mouth became a frown and became the infamous Malfoy frown. Her little hands were wrapped around her father tightly. As if she knew that this man wanted to hurt him.
"Sweetie I think you should explain everything before things get out of hand." Hermione's mother said softly. Hermione nodded.
"Like I was saying to mum. Our muggle studies project included parenting. So we have to raise our own children."
"So your teacher made you pregnant and now you have your own children?" Her father concluded hysterically. Draco scoffed and rolled his eyes sitting down next his mother who was holding Sebastian in her arms whispering things to him that made him giggle.
"NO. Dad, don't jump to conclusions." She said waving her arms. "Their not real. It's a spell."
He still couldn't calm down. Lucius just stood there. Looking at the little girl, her beauty was a mix of Draco's and Hermione's but her features were so much like his own only feminine. If this girl were real she would grow to be a beautiful woman who would break men's hearts till the day she died but her eyes glittered in innocence and Lucius knew. Weather she was real or not she would be a true Malfoy.

Harry walked slowly back to the Gryfinndor common room from the Great Hall expecting the arrival of the Dursleys. He mumbled the password to the Fat Lady, and walked in. that's when he heard a voice he had been dreading since this thing started
The voice of Aunt Petunia.
"Hello," She said, in a snippy tone.
"Hello aunt Petunia." Harry said.
"How's "school" going?" Vernon asked him. Harry raised a curious eyebrow. His uncle had never asked him anything before. How bad had Medea's threat been? "It's wonderful. Thanks for asking. Since when did you care?" Harry asked. Here at Hogwarts he didn't have to fear these people. He could be brave He could stand up for himself.
"Since I want to make a good impression here, boy. I don't want to be harmed by these, these, people," Vernon whispered.
"You're so ridiculous. These people are some of the best I've ever met and most are even better than the people you associate with," Harry said. Ron came down from the dorms with Seamus and Neville. They watched on as Harry argued with his family.
"Shut your mouth, Harry," Dudley said. Harry sighed and looked at the time. Quidditch practice. He would be meeting Sirius there. Someone in his family he would be glad to see.
"I have to go to Quidditch practice," He said. "I'll be back in about an hour or two."
"What! You are going to leave us here with these, these FREAKS!" Aunt Petunia screamed.
"These "freaks" happen to be my family, my best friends. I'd appreciate it if you respected them. I have to go to Quidditch practice now."
"Don't walk away from me boy!!!" Uncle Vernon screamed.
"Well it appears that I'm walking, and I'm going to be late. So I'm going," Harry, mumbled a curse with his wand and uncle Vernon felt something grow from behind him. A pig's tail. Like Hagrid had done to Dudley so many years back.
"Petunia, HELP ME!" Vernon screamed. Ron and Seamus just laughed.
"Oh My God!!! Vernon!!!" Petunia screamed.
"You know I've always wanted to ask. Who's God?" Ron asked.
"It's someone muggles worship. You know how we say oh Merlin. Well they say oh god. It's like a religion." Seamus explained.
"Interesting," Neville remarked.
"Harry's family is worse than what he said. I think they're the ones who are freaks," Seamus said with a smile. Ron laughed, so did Neville.
"Alright guys we better get to Quidditch. My mum and dad are here somewhere. Probably found someone they used to know. Or might just be at the field. Let's go." Ron said and the three boys walked towards the Quidditch field.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Hermione walked towards the library after the very hectic meeting with their parents. She left the kids with Draco claiming she needed to get some studying for a DADA test done. After two hours of studying for the test she decided to go out and watch the end of the Gryfinndor's Quidditch practice.
She saw Harry and Ron on their broomsticks, spotting some of their families up on the stands cheering as the boys did a variety of tricks. At one point she saw Sirius talking to Ron's dad. Harry and Ron went on doing their practice without noticing her, until she screamed out their names waving at hem.
"Hey, you guys were good out there," She said as they came down to land.
"I didn't see you there. A little bit sneaky of you isn't it Hermione?" Ron accused laughing.
"Shut up I was giving you a compliment you know." She said but she smiled.
"You want to go and fly." Ron asked with a smirk. Hermione shook her head.
"Definitely no thank you." She replied with a bit of a shudder.
"Oh come on." Harry challenged crossing his arms across his chest. "Just one round."
"NO. I actually have to go back to my dorm room. I left Draco with the kids and my parents. Besides I got to finish a paper for Snape." She gave an overreacted sigh. "But I'll manage."
"I'm sure you will Miss Braniac," Ron teased.
"Oh leave me alone!" She said with a bit of a blush.
"Fine. Go do your paper and we'll see you later," Harry added.
"Bye!" Hermione said walking towards the dorm rooms.
Ron laughed as they walked towards the change rooms. They were going to meet Sirius after they got changed and walk back to the Gryfinndor common room for some food hoping that Harry's family had calmed down after Harry's little lapse of bravery.
"You'd think after all this time she'd be ok with brooms." Ron said as they met up with the rest of the team.
"You know Hermione. She wants her books." Harry said as they got to the showers. "She wouldn't care for sport unless it was in a book."
"You're right there. Hey maybe if she and Malfoy have kids they'll play sports what you think."
"Uh Hermione and Draco's kids. You've seen the outcome of the project. I don't know they seem a lot like Malfoy." Harry commented.
"It's true. They look a lot like him but you can tell their attitudes are Hermione's." Harry nodded in agreement.
"Well let's hurry up. Sirius won't wait for long."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Hermione walked towards the head boy/girl portrait and saw that the door was open and couldn't help but wonder why. She stepped in front of the portrait and pulled it shut. The portrait looked at her with a smile and came up from the water. The mermaid sat on a rock and asked for the password.
"Why was the door open?" Hermione asked before giving the password.
"All of your relatives. The Malfoy's went that way." She pointed towards the dungeons. "And the granger's went that way." She pointed to the astronomy tower.
"Do you know if Draco is in there?"
"He hasn't left the room that I know of." With that the portrait opened the door and the mermaid swam back into the sea.
"Thanks." With that Hermione walked into the common room and shut the door behind her. She saw that the common room was empty and made her way towards Draco's room where they were sharing a room while her parents took hers.
She walked into the room and saw Draco asleep on the bed with he children in their cribs. He looked so angelic, so handsome. Words truly couldn't describe how he looked. He looked as if he wasn't' real, like he was a figment of someone's imagination. He had an aura about him, one so beautiful and pure that she couldn't imagine anyone thinking he was anything but perfect. Everyone else only saw his exterior, his flaws. He might have been the farthest thing from being perfect in everyone's eyes but he was the perfect one for her.
She saw Sebastian in his crib and he was squirming around. She walked over to him and picked him up. He looked at her with a pout and she noticed that he needed to get changed. She quickly changed his diaper and placed him back in the crib, it was then that she looked into Ashleigh's crib expecting to see her daughter sleeping soundly but she wasn't there.
Looking around the room she whispered her name but her daughter didn't respond. She thought that it was near impossible for her to climb out of the crib but saw that Sebastian was able to lean over and step on the table.
"Maybe mother took her. Or Narcissa." She tried to calm down but couldn't help but feel that dread parents felt.
She walked over to Draco and shook him trying to keep her voice calm. "Draco?"
"Hmm?" He mumbled opening his eyes. "What is it?"
"Did your mother or mine take Ashleigh?" She asked softly. He shook his head lazily.
"No she's in her crib." He yawned and closed his eyes again. Hermione started to panic and shook him harder.
"DRACO ASHLEIGH'S GONE!" She pulled him up by his shirt and his eyes snapped open. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?"
Sebastian began to whimper seeing his mother screaming. Draco stared at her blankly for a few moments then started to talk.
"I don't know. I put her in the crib just before our parents left with Sebastian and then I fell asleep. She must be somewhere here, it's not like she could've gone anywhere outside the common room." He said reassuringly.
"DRACO THE COMMON ROOM DOOR WAS FUCKING OPEN!" She screamed.
"Hey don't' yell at me." He said defensively but got out of the bed grabbing his shoes. He started to panic. His daughter was missing. "I fell asleep and I put hem in the crib. I was really tired. I get enough of it from my Father, I don't need it from you too Hermione." He said grabbing his jacket.
"I'm sorry. I just, I just need to find her." She said with tears I her eyes.
"Shh, it's ok we'll find her. She couldn't' have gone far." He whispered embracing her in his arms. He then went to Sebastian's crib and lifted him into his arms. "I'll take Sebastian."
"Right, I'll go search the classrooms and you go look in the hallways." She said trying to calm down. She was slightly shaking.
"Alright. Don't worry, we will find her" He said, hugging her and then kissing her forehead.
"I love you," Hermione whispered through tears.
"I love you, too," Draco replied.
With that they both ran out of the common room and searched for their missing daughter.
Draco looked all over the school. Down the halls and tried to remember all the secret passages.
Hermione looked over all the classrooms she even went down to the dungeons but she couldn't find anything. She looked in the Library but couldn't fin her. Her nerves where in a frit and she was near tears by the time she found Draco.
"No sign of her?" She said shaking grabbing Sebastian in her arms tightly.
"NO." He said seeing her panic.
"Oh my god Draco. She's gone forever, some sick bastard must have taken her. Oh god knows what they'll do to-" she was cut off by Draco's soft kiss.
"Hermione don't panic. This is not the time to worry about things like that. We'll find her." He said reassuringly. If only he could convince himself of that.

She tried to move her arms but they too were held in place and she felt a shiver run down her spine.
Her senses started to form again and she knew exactly who was behind her, a man not too big but large enough to hold her down without any difficulty. She growled in annoyance and frustration and bite down on the man's hand.
"DAMN IT!" He cried out and let go of her.
"Jimmy." She growled angrily. "Does Clover know your kidnapping for a living?"
"Well I didn't know you had muggle rabies." He said shaking his hand in pain. "Damn it. I knew you were violent but I never thought you'd actually bite me."
"Untie me now." She ordered. He muttered the reversal charms and she turned around looking very annoyed.
"Never thought I'd actually get you." He said to her. He grinned at her through his pain. "Has motherhood taken its toll? Or has the great Slytherin queen lost her touch?"
"Oh no. The Slytherin queen would never loose her touch." A beautiful woman said. Her swollen stomach announcing to the world of her pregnancy, her uncovered arms showed a very distinct birthmark.
"Clover." Medea squealed and forgot all about Jimmy. Running towards her and hugging her tightly, the two women hugged and almost broke into tears. It had been a long time since they'd seen each other.
"Hey I'm injured here." Jimmy called out and was greeted by Deo.
"You really think they care?" He said with a smirk.
"Shut it Slytherin." He said good-naturedly.
"I doubt it. You know that. Come on I'll take you to Madam Pomfry. She'll be very happy to treat that." He said sarcastically and they left for the hospital wing. The two women kept talking and walking towards Medea's room.
"I'm so glad you came. I really needed to talk to you." Medea said as they passed the many families.
"What about?" She said. "Has someone found out about your nickname and you need a good memory charm?"
"No. You remember my cousin?"
"The little cute one with the big blue eyes and the big ears?" She asked.
"Yes. Except his ears aren't so big anymore." She said grinning. "You remember my uncle Lucius?"
She made a face at the sound of his name. "Who could forget him?"
"Well Draco has fallen in love with a muggle born witch. She's a Gryfinndor." They stopped at the door of Medea's room and she said the password and they walked in. "My uncle isn't pleased at all. Actually at one point he almost took him out of the school."
"Ouch." She said looking down. "So what happened?"
"A lot. I even sent the girl a letter as if it was Draco so she could see what he went through. Luckily neither has noticed. I need your help in trying to keep them safe. You're the best one at it. Being a DADA master and all the things you know about protecting people."
"Well as long as they're here they'd be safe." She reasoned. Medea shook her head.
"They're not. I'm worried Clover. I see things are deeper than just this hate. He works for Voldemort." She said in a soft voice.
"Voldemort." She shuddered. "So this is a family thing."
"Clover please. You know I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't important. I had a vision. I see something terrible and it includes all of us. If Lucius gets his way and separates Draco and Hermione there is going to be a lot of trouble."
"Hermione?" Clover said softly.
"Yes, her name is Hermione Granger. She's very pretty, brightest student in this school, Clover you should see her. She has intensity about her. Her aura is pure; if Voldemort got his hands on her that purity would be gone. I know it hurts. I know you lost your daughter because you were running from him but this is the only way to save everything."
Clover stayed silent for a long time and sat down rubbing her stomach. "I lost one child because of him Medea. I loved her so much and because I was afraid I lost her, if this girl is so important to you I'll do it but I'd like to see the girl who carries my daughter's name."
"Of course Clover." She said smiling sadly at her.
"So what is going on this weekend?" She asked looking a little better.
"A lot. Deo has some plans for the families of the sixth and seventh years. I think it's a good idea and the rest of the school will each do different things. Also I was wondering would jimmy be willing to be the story teller for the weekend?"
"You know him. He'll dance and sing for joy on tables."
"I know." Medea closed her eyes for a moment then looked at her friend seriously. "Clover? Do you ever think that what happened that night was no accident?"
"I don't wonder Medea. I know. My child was living and breathing. I stay up and wonder at night. I know she was alive. They killed her Medea and for that I will never forgive them."
"But it's the ministry clover would they really go that low?"
"Yes and you know it."

"Sunshine stay still for mommy." Hermione said to her daughter as she tried to put a diaper on her. Little Ashleigh was fussing, not pleased to get dressed up at all but wanted as much attention and to be as difficult as possible, the Malfoy way of course.
"Sebastian, come back here." They heard Draco call from the bathroom followed by little footsteps running around.
Their parents would be there in any second and honestly only Narcissa Malfoy knew about the project. Lucius didn't seem too interested and she had never gotten the chance to tell her parents when she owled them.
A squeal of delight was heard as Draco came in with a large bundle in his arms. Sebastian kicked playfully around his father's arms in the large red towel.
"Let me ask you something Granger." He said in his Malfoy manor though his eyes held amusement. "As a child did you run around and drive your parents mad?"
"Frequently. You can ask my mother once she gets here." She said smiling. "I was a regular hell raiser. My father once said he could never understand where I got my determination or my hell raising ways."
"Mmmm." He said putting Sebastian down and wrapped his arms around her. Their twins looked up at them curiously and Ashleigh sat up and started to toy with her dress, a light green dress with silver trimmings, Draco's choice of course.
Hormone turned her head slowly so she was facing him. Their eyes met and she leaned forward as he bent down ever so slightly to capture her lips in his.
His breath was brushing against her lips as she gently parted her lips. They were so close. Their children watched in sudden fascination. Half an inch away from a hidden bliss.
*-* Mr. Granger walked briskly down the hall to the head girl and boy dorm. He was very anxious to see his daughter. After the owls they'd received about her seeing the Malfoy boy. He had been convinced it was some joke. He had really hoped Harry had been the one his only child chose as a partner. Not some rich stuck up arrogant mommy's boy.
"Darling, please." Mrs. Granger said hurrying behind her husband. "I'm sure he's really a nice boy. Would our Hermione really be with him if he was that bad."
"You know teenagers love. He's probably charmed her with his good looks and bad boy streak. I will not allow my daughter to go out with some git who thinks she's not worthy of being here."
"But dear he wouldn't go out with her if he thought she was not worthy. Give him a chance." She pleaded.
"No." He said when he reached the portrait they'd said was the head girl and boy's dorms.
Already standing there was Lucius Malfoy. He stood with Narcissa Malfoy who as Mrs. Granger was trying to convince him that his son had made the right choice in choosing a girlfriend.
"She's nothing but a filthy mudblood Narcissa." He said coldly ignoring the parents of the girl in question. "No Malfoy has ever been with a muggle born. I will not allow it. If I have to kill them both to keep our bloodline pure I swear to you I will."
"How dare you." Mr. Granger roared. Some of the portraits turned watching the fight that would occur.
Lucius turned as if he had just noticed the grangers. Hermione's mother looked a little pale for fear that her daughter was in danger. Mr. Granger just looked mad. He knew enough about Lucius Malfoy from what the Wesley's had told him to know he didn't want his daughter even six feet near these people.
Narcissa paled even more. She looked very embarrassed and unable to move. Lucius just smirked.
"Well, well. If it isn't Mr. And Mrs. Granger, so nice to see you again." He said with fake courtesy giving a mocking bow.
"You take that back." Mr. Granger retorted. "You take it back immediately."
"Take what back?" Lucius said innocently.
"What you said about my daughter you filthy bastard. How dare you speak of her like that? Your son isn't even worth two cents to her."
"My son?" Lucius suddenly looked furious. "It was your daughter who's bewitched his mind. My son had a future. He would have married a pure blooded woman. Someone worthy of the name Malfoy but no he wants to be with some mudblood."
"My daughter is worth much more than your name." He retorted with his head high. "She's head girl isn't she?"
"Well my son is Head boy." Lucius said. He was still very displeased with his son but would use him to battle if needed. "Disgusting. My son living with a filthy excuse for a witch."
"Hey, it's my daughter who has to live." Mr. Granger suddenly stopped realizing what this git was saying. "MY DAUGHTER IS LIVING WITH YOUR SON?"
Lucius smirked. So the little mudblood whore hadn't told her parents. Well her father since her mother didn't look shocked at all that Hermione was living with Draco.
"Yes. Didn't you know? I suppose your saintly daughter isn't so angelic after all is she." He sneered. "A little whore."
Luckily for Lucius Mr. Granger was too busy banging on the door to hear his last comment.
"HERMONE OPEN THIS DOOR!" He screamed.
*-*
Their lips barely touched as the violent banging started on their door. Followed by the outraged yells from a male.
"HERMIONE OPEN THIS DOOR!" Hermione immediately tensed. Her father, oh no she hadn't told her father about Draco living here, maybe someone told him.
"Oh no. It s my dad." Draco remained calm and looked at his son who was very confused.
"He doesn't sound too pleased." He said coolly. Hermione smacked him lightly. "Ok, ok I'll finish dressing the twins. You go answer the door. I don't think he'll try to kill you.
"Don't count on it." She muttered as she walked towards the door. She was nervous. Her mother knew but not her father. Oh lord he'd have an attack.
She looked at her reflection it the common room mirror and gave a small approving smile.
She wore a long maroon skirt with a matching long sleeve top. The days were warmer. Her hair was in a loose bun with the back handing loose and strands framing her face.
"Open this door this instant." Another voice. Oh no, Lucius Malfoy. It seemed that both father's had gotten into a fight. She slowly made her way to the door and hoped that they hadn't killed each other yet.
Opening the portrait door she saw her father and Lucius Malfoy standing there with their fists raised to the door both looking quite furious.
She saw her exasperated mother holding their bags and a very embarrassed looking Narcissa.
"Father." She said slowly. "So nice to see you. Mum, please come in. Mr. Malfoy, Narcissa." She made sure to be as formal with her father and Draco's father as possible.
"Thank you darling." Her mother said with relief. "Those portraits were all staring at your father." She whispered.
Hermione just smiled. Narcissa leaned forward and gave her a hello kiss before entering with her house elf.
The two men were too caught up in their bickering to notice the door was opened. Hermione ignored them knowing too well that this would happen and made sure the two women were comfortable.
"Were is my son Hermione dear?" Narcissa said calmly.
"He's changing the babies." She said without thinking. Her mother's eyes shot open.
"Babies?" She hissed looking very pale. Hermione covered her mouth. "Hermione what babies?"
"Oh no I forgot to tell you." She said nervously. "We, we have a project for muggle studies. Well part of the assignment is raising our own children."
Mrs. Granger seemed to calm down a little and was grateful she hadn't become angry like her husband.
"Sebastian no." They heard Draco's voice call as the little boy ran into the room looking for his mother.
"MAMA." He cried out proudly. Hermione looked very stunned and immediately looked over to her father and Lucius. Both were staring at the boy as if he was glowing green and was floating on air.
Sebastian ran to his mother and grabbed onto her skirt. He wore a short sleeve shirt with a pair of baggy pants. His hair was combed back and he looked very innocent.
"Sebastian. Sweetie, go back to daddy." Hermione whispered gently trying to pry the little boy back into the room before he two males could react. The two women were statues waiting for the eruption.
"MAMA." He cried again holding up his arms defensi8vly. He wasn't going anywhere and that was final.
"WHAT IS THAT?" Hermione's father cried out startling the small boy. He grabbed onto Hermione suddenly frightened by the older man. "WHY DID THAT BOY CALL YOU MAMA?"
"Because he's my son." She said calmly. No point arguing. They had to know eventually. She hadn't expected it to be like this though.
"Your son?" Lucius said slowly. He stared at the boy for a moment. The boy's eyes were blue, brilliant and shining. Full of bravery and mischief, it was as if he was staring at Draco all over again. Only this boy's hair wasn't bleaching blond, it was a dirty blond.
"And mine." Draco said from the door. "Hello mother. Father." He greeted politely. Mrs. Granger."
"Hello Draco." Mrs. Granger said staring at the boy. He surely was handsome. Very well brought up by the looks of it. She stared intently at the little girl in his arms. She was fidgeting with the green and silver dress.
"Who is that?" Mr. Granger said nervously. He was sure he' have a heart attack soon. His daughter had a son with this git and now this little girl.
"This is Ashleigh. Our daughter." Draco said proudly tickling her. She smiled and Narcissa gasped in joy.
"Oh look at them. Their so adorable." She cried out holding her arms out for Sebastian. He looked at her nervously but Hermione pushed him towards her gently. "So lifelike."
Lucius looked in shock. Even he wasn't prepared for this. He wasn't pleased at all. Last time he'd been there and saw the head girl she hadn't been pregnant. And these children looked at least two.
He stared at Ashleigh and was surprised to see her staring at him intently. Her eyes mirrored his own and if the boy had stunned him at how closely they resembled the Malfoy's then this girl proved it. She was a reflection of the Malfoy beauty.
Her eyes furrowed when she saw him staring back at her. Her mouth became a frown and became the infamous Malfoy frown. Her little hands were wrapped around her father tightly. As if she knew that this man wanted to hurt him.
"Sweetie I think you should explain everything before things get out of hand." Hermione's mother said softly. Hermione nodded.
"Like I was saying to mum. Our muggle studies project included parenting. So we have to raise our own children."
"So your teacher made you pregnant and now you have your own children?" Her father concluded hysterically. Draco scoffed and rolled his eyes sitting down next his mother who was holding Sebastian in her arms whispering things to him that made him giggle.
"NO. Dad, don't jump to conclusions." She said waving her arms. "Their not real. It's a spell."
He still couldn't calm down. Lucius just stood there. Looking at the little girl, her beauty was a mix of Draco's and Hermione's but her features were so much like his own only feminine. If this girl were real she would grow to be a beautiful woman who would break men's hearts till the day she died but her eyes glittered in innocence and Lucius knew. Weather she was real or not she would be a true Malfoy.

Harry walked slowly back to the Gryfinndor common room from the Great Hall expecting the arrival of the Dursleys. He mumbled the password to the Fat Lady, and walked in. that's when he heard a voice he had been dreading since this thing started
The voice of Aunt Petunia.
"Hello," She said, in a snippy tone.
"Hello aunt Petunia." Harry said.
"How's "school" going?" Vernon asked him. Harry raised a curious eyebrow. His uncle had never asked him anything before. How bad had Medea's threat been? "It's wonderful. Thanks for asking. Since when did you care?" Harry asked. Here at Hogwarts he didn't have to fear these people. He could be brave He could stand up for himself.
"Since I want to make a good impression here, boy. I don't want to be harmed by these, these, people," Vernon whispered.
"You're so ridiculous. These people are some of the best I've ever met and most are even better than the people you associate with," Harry said. Ron came down from the dorms with Seamus and Neville. They watched on as Harry argued with his family.
"Shut your mouth, Harry," Dudley said. Harry sighed and looked at the time. Quidditch practice. He would be meeting Sirius there. Someone in his family he would be glad to see.
"I have to go to Quidditch practice," He said. "I'll be back in about an hour or two."
"What! You are going to leave us here with these, these FREAKS!" Aunt Petunia screamed.
"These "freaks" happen to be my family, my best friends. I'd appreciate it if you respected them. I have to go to Quidditch practice now."
"Don't walk away from me boy!!!" Uncle Vernon screamed.
"Well it appears that I'm walking, and I'm going to be late. So I'm going," Harry, mumbled a curse with his wand and uncle Vernon felt something grow from behind him. A pig's tail. Like Hagrid had done to Dudley so many years back.
"Petunia, HELP ME!" Vernon screamed. Ron and Seamus just laughed.
"Oh My God!!! Vernon!!!" Petunia screamed.
"You know I've always wanted to ask. Who's God?" Ron asked.
"It's someone muggles worship. You know how we say oh Merlin. Well they say oh god. It's like a religion." Seamus explained.
"Interesting," Neville remarked.
"Harry's family is worse than what he said. I think they're the ones who are freaks," Seamus said with a smile. Ron laughed, so did Neville.
"Alright guys we better get to Quidditch. My mum and dad are here somewhere. Probably found someone they used to know. Or might just be at the field. Let's go." Ron said and the three boys walked towards the Quidditch field.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Hermione walked towards the library after the very hectic meeting with their parents. She left the kids with Draco claiming she needed to get some studying for a DADA test done. After two hours of studying for the test she decided to go out and watch the end of the Gryfinndor's Quidditch practice.
She saw Harry and Ron on their broomsticks, spotting some of their families up on the stands cheering as the boys did a variety of tricks. At one point she saw Sirius talking to Ron's dad. Harry and Ron went on doing their practice without noticing her, until she screamed out their names waving at hem.
"Hey, you guys were good out there," She said as they came down to land.
"I didn't see you there. A little bit sneaky of you isn't it Hermione?" Ron accused laughing.
"Shut up I was giving you a compliment you know." She said but she smiled.
"You want to go and fly." Ron asked with a smirk. Hermione shook her head.
"Definitely no thank you." She replied with a bit of a shudder.
"Oh come on." Harry challenged crossing his arms across his chest. "Just one round."
"NO. I actually have to go back to my dorm room. I left Draco with the kids and my parents. Besides I got to finish a paper for Snape." She gave an overreacted sigh. "But I'll manage."
"I'm sure you will Miss Braniac," Ron teased.
"Oh leave me alone!" She said with a bit of a blush.
"Fine. Go do your paper and we'll see you later," Harry added.
"Bye!" Hermione said walking towards the dorm rooms.
Ron laughed as they walked towards the change rooms. They were going to meet Sirius after they got changed and walk back to the Gryfinndor common room for some food hoping that Harry's family had calmed down after Harry's little lapse of bravery.
"You'd think after all this time she'd be ok with brooms." Ron said as they met up with the rest of the team.
"You know Hermione. She wants her books." Harry said as they got to the showers. "She wouldn't care for sport unless it was in a book."
"You're right there. Hey maybe if she and Malfoy have kids they'll play sports what you think."
"Uh Hermione and Draco's kids. You've seen the outcome of the project. I don't know they seem a lot like Malfoy." Harry commented.
"It's true. They look a lot like him but you can tell their attitudes are Hermione's." Harry nodded in agreement.
"Well let's hurry up. Sirius won't wait for long."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Hermione walked towards the head boy/girl portrait and saw that the door was open and couldn't help but wonder why. She stepped in front of the portrait and pulled it shut. The portrait looked at her with a smile and came up from the water. The mermaid sat on a rock and asked for the password.
"Why was the door open?" Hermione asked before giving the password.
"All of your relatives. The Malfoy's went that way." She pointed towards the dungeons. "And the granger's went that way." She pointed to the astronomy tower.
"Do you know if Draco is in there?"
"He hasn't left the room that I know of." With that the portrait opened the door and the mermaid swam back into the sea.
"Thanks." With that Hermione walked into the common room and shut the door behind her. She saw that the common room was empty and made her way towards Draco's room where they were sharing a room while her parents took hers.
She walked into the room and saw Draco asleep on the bed with he children in their cribs. He looked so angelic, so handsome. Words truly couldn't describe how he looked. He looked as if he wasn't' real, like he was a figment of someone's imagination. He had an aura about him, one so beautiful and pure that she couldn't imagine anyone thinking he was anything but perfect. Everyone else only saw his exterior, his flaws. He might have been the farthest thing from being perfect in everyone's eyes but he was the perfect one for her.
She saw Sebastian in his crib and he was squirming around. She walked over to him and picked him up. He looked at her with a pout and she noticed that he needed to get changed. She quickly changed his diaper and placed him back in the crib, it was then that she looked into Ashleigh's crib expecting to see her daughter sleeping soundly but she wasn't there.
Looking around the room she whispered her name but her daughter didn't respond. She thought that it was near impossible for her to climb out of the crib but saw that Sebastian was able to lean over and step on the table.
"Maybe mother took her. Or Narcissa." She tried to calm down but couldn't help but feel that dread parents felt.
She walked over to Draco and shook him trying to keep her voice calm. "Draco?"
"Hmm?" He mumbled opening his eyes. "What is it?"
"Did your mother or mine take Ashleigh?" She asked softly. He shook his head lazily.
"No she's in her crib." He yawned and closed his eyes again. Hermione started to panic and shook him harder.
"DRACO ASHLEIGH'S GONE!" She pulled him up by his shirt and his eyes snapped open. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?"
Sebastian began to whimper seeing his mother screaming. Draco stared at her blankly for a few moments then started to talk.
"I don't know. I put her in the crib just before our parents left with Sebastian and then I fell asleep. She must be somewhere here, it's not like she could've gone anywhere outside the common room." He said reassuringly.
"DRACO THE COMMON ROOM DOOR WAS FUCKING OPEN!" She screamed.
"Hey don't' yell at me." He said defensively but got out of the bed grabbing his shoes. He started to panic. His daughter was missing. "I fell asleep and I put hem in the crib. I was really tired. I get enough of it from my Father, I don't need it from you too Hermione." He said grabbing his jacket.
"I'm sorry. I just, I just need to find her." She said with tears I her eyes.
"Shh, it's ok we'll find her. She couldn't' have gone far." He whispered embracing her in his arms. He then went to Sebastian's crib and lifted him into his arms. "I'll take Sebastian."
"Right, I'll go search the classrooms and you go look in the hallways." She said trying to calm down. She was slightly shaking.
"Alright. Don't worry, we will find her" He said, hugging her and then kissing her forehead.
"I love you," Hermione whispered through tears.
"I love you, too," Draco replied.
With that they both ran out of the common room and searched for their missing daughter.
Draco looked all over the school. Down the halls and tried to remember all the secret passages.
Hermione looked over all the classrooms she even went down to the dungeons but she couldn't find anything. She looked in the Library but couldn't fin her. Her nerves where in a frit and she was near tears by the time she found Draco.
"No sign of her?" She said shaking grabbing Sebastian in her arms tightly.
"NO." He said seeing her panic.
"Oh my god Draco. She's gone forever, some sick bastard must have taken her. Oh god knows what they'll do to-" she was cut off by Draco's soft kiss.
"Hermione don't panic. This is not the time to worry about things like that. We'll find her." He said reassuringly. If only he could convince himself of that.
