Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. Only the plot
is mine.
A/N: Thanks everyone for reviewing. I originally didn't write anything about their trip to Disney Land, but since everyone wants to read about Draco riding Dumbo, here's a chapter including the trip.

Chapter 9: The Return
Disney Land...
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, pleeeeaaaase!" whined 2 ½ year old Ali.
"Draco, come on. Take her on the Dumbo ride. You know I get nauseous from heights." Hermione was trying hard to get her husband to take their daughter up in the ride.
Husband, daughter, Hermione could not believe she was married and had a daughter. Just 3 ½ years ago she was still in school.
"Fine, Ali, come on. One ride and then we move on. We can take our picture with Goofy." Draco reluctantly took his daughter on the ride.
Hermione could not contain her laughter at the look on Draco's face as sat next to his bouncing little girl, going round and round.
"You can never make me do that again, you hear me 'Mione." Draco looked quiet embarrassed at having ridden on a giant elephant.
"I love you honey, I can't wait to get back and start our lives together." then looking down at Ali, "and you, I am so blessed to be your daddy."
"Look Draco, there's Goofy. Let's go get a family picture with him." with that, off they went to enjoy the rest of their stay at Disney Land.
3 years later....
Ginny was sitting in the kitchen of the Burrow after a tough day of shopping in Muggle London with Hermione and her mother. She spilled tea down the front of herself when she heard a loud popping noise from the other room.
She stood up prepared to fight off who ever the attacker could be. She pulled out her wand and hid near the door.
When two figures made their way through the door, Ginny nearly cursed them.
"Ron, Harry?! I can't believe it's you!" cried Ginny running to the two men.
"Ginny, it's so good to see you. How've you been? You look great." asked an excited Ron with an arm full of Ginny hugging him.
"I've been good. I've missed you guys so much. How are you guys? Are you home for good?" Ginny was anxious for the answer to the last question.
"Yes, we're through with our mission. Where is the rest of the family?" asked Ron.
"They're in Romania with Charlie. His wife just had a baby. Harry, how are you?" Ginny began to blush when she noticed Harry staring at her.
"Better, now that I can see you. I've missed you." Harry walked up to Ginny and swept her up into his arms and kissed her heartily on the mouth.
"Wow, I uummm, wow." Ginny didn't know what to say. The boy she had had a crush on all through school and loved and missed for the last 5 ½ years, was now here and kissing her.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." agreed Harry.
The trio moved the sitting room and Ginny made them some tea. The conversation revolved mostly about what the two men had missed for the past 5 years, until Ron asked the dreaded question.
"So, how is Hermione? You have kept in touch with her haven't you?"
"Um, yeah, I have. She's great actually. I won't tell you a thing about her though. You'll just have to hear it from her."
Ginny could only suppress her smile slightly. 'What would they think if they knew that their best friend was married to Draco Malfoy?'
"Her life can't have changed too much in 5 years. Right?" Ron didn't want to believe she could have changed too much.
"Go and see her. She's moved now, but if you use floo powder and just say Hermione's place, you'll go right there."
"Thanks, Gin. I'll be back later." and with that Harry placed a kiss on Ginny's cheek.
Ron and Harry made their way to the fire place and each took a handful of floo powder and threw it into the fire place.
"Hermione's Place!" and they both disappeared.
"Ali, go right now and put your new toys away or you can't play with them later." Hermione sent her 5 year old daughter to her room.
"I want to play now." Ali did not wanting to do what her mother told her.
She reminded Hermione so much of Draco. She had his blonde hair and blue/grey eyes, and most of all, his stubbornness.
"No, you're going to have lunch first. Then, you can play."
"Ok." with that Ali went to her room.
Hermione was just putting on a pot of tea when there was a loud noise from the fire place. When the noise makers finally emerged from the fire place Hermione nearly fainted. Standing in her fire place covered in soot, was Ron and Harry.
"Ron, Harry, I can't believe you're here." yelled Hermione excitedly.
Hermione ran to her long lost friends and enveloped them in a giant group hug.
"Hermione, we're so glad to see you. It's been so long." gushed Harry
"We're home for good now, so let's catch up. Ginny said we'd have to hear the news from the horse's mouth about you. So, spill." Ron was nervous to hear about her.
"Well, let's go into the kitchen for some tea and you guys tell of your travels first. Then I'll tell you about boring old me." Hermione hoped to avoid the subject of her life for a little while, until she figured out how to tell them anyway.
The newly reunited trio sat in the kitchen drinking tea while Harry and Ron recounted their tales of ridding the wizard world of death eaters and they're final battle with Voldemort.
"You should have seen it 'Mione, Harry was bloody brilliant. You wouldn't believe Neville either. He's not the same shy, incompetent kid from Hogwarts. So, what's new in your life?"
"Yeah, 'Mione, what have you been doing for nearly 6 years?" asked a curious Harry.
"Well, I work for The Daily Prophet as an editor. But, I choose to work from home to.." Hermione couldn't finish her sentence when Ali decided to join the conversation.
"Mummy! I'm hungry."
Ron and Harry were shocked. They just looked at the blonde little girl speechless. They couldn't believe Hermione had a daughter.
"I know honey. Come here and have a sandwich. I want to meet friends from school. Harry Potter and Ron Weasly, meet my daughter Allison. Ali, say hi to Ron and Harry."
"Hi. Mummy, I don't want a samich, I want ice cream. Daddy would let me have ice cream." pouted Ali.
"That's because your daddy spoils you rotten. No ice cream, why don't you go play in your toy room until daddy get home. Ok?" Hermione didn't want her daughter their when she explained who her husband was.
Little Ali left the room and Ron looked at Harry in shock.
Harry decided to be the bold one and break the silence. "So, 'Mione, you have a daughter?"
"Yeah, she's 5 and she's the greatest. What do you think?"
"She's beautiful She doesn't really look like you though." answered Ron.
"Yes, she looks like her father." Hermione was looking all around the room avoiding looking the guys in the face.
Suddenly Harry had a realization. "Hermione, you said she was 5. That means.."
"That I was pregnant before we left school." finished Hermione.
"You were pregnant during school and we didn't know it? We didn't even know you were seeing anyone. This means we know the father." Ron couldn't believe Hermione had kept the biggest secret of her life from her two best friends.
"No one did. We hid it from everyone. I gave birth the December after school, and then two years later we got married. I'm happy guys. I'm sorry you had to miss it all, but you left. You didn't even come see me to say goodbye and then you're gone for 5 years." she stopped talking when tears suddenly started flowing down her cheeks.
"Hermione, we're sorry. We would have said goodbye, but the Ministry wouldn't let us. You don't know how much we missed you." said Harry wiping her tears away.
"We want to be a part of your life. Who are you married to? Who is Allison's father?" asked Ron, dreading the answer.
"Well..." just then, there was a loud pop in the den and male voice called out.
" 'Mione, we're back."
"That's him now; try not to overreact too much."
"Why would we overreact?" asked Harry
"Just try not too. You'll see. We're in the kitchen honey."
Ron and Harry sat there confused when in walked their worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.
