Loving you this much is never too much
Allie-2003
Story inspired by the song I love you this much by Jimmy Wayne
Note I don't own the characters, song or a decent computer. All I own is a brilliant mind, and the plot. The Harry Potter Characters belong to the most amazing writer J.K Rowling. (Yes this is a disclaimer. {And yes it will last through the story})
Now I give you the story:
Loving you this much is never too much.
Hermione Granger sat at her desk thinking about her seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Merlin alive was that 3 years ago. She thought as she was writing a report for her boss the, Minister of Magic. She was his personal secretary and did most of his work while he attended meetings in other countries. She was 22 single but married to her work and devoted to her son and daughter, her twins. Her hair which used to be bushy now fell in soft curls to her lower back. However back to her thoughts, as they kept falling on one person, the father of her children. Now I bet you all think that the father is none other than Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. You're wrong. It was a forbidden love between her and…Draco Malfoy… the man who broke her heart.
"HERMIONE!" buzzed the intercom pulling her out of her thoughts. She jumped in her chair.
"Yes sir? What can I do for you sir?"
"Do you have the report on the Quidditch World Cup?"
"Yes right in front of me. I will bring it to you." She walked into the office.
"Thanks Hermione. After this you can leave for the day as I am sure Luke and Lissy would want Mummy to follow tradition by getting takeout on Thursdays. Now get!"
"But sir…"
"Good bye Hermione. And I don't want to see you until Monday, take tomorrow off stay with the kids." Her boss told her as she started to protest.
"If you are sure?" she asked.
"Good bye Hermione."
"Goodnight sir." She left the office to go pick up her kids.

Hermione walked into Rainbow's End Daycare when a little blond blur ran at her.
"Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, Mummy." The little girl flew into her arms. Lissy looks so much like Draco. And little Luke… he has his father's eyes.
"Lissy, Lissy, Lissy, Lissy, Lissy, Lissy." Hermione echoed as she laughed as Melissa Granger hugged her mother when she picked her up. "Hey baby where's your brother at?"
"He's seepin' on his beddie-bye cot."
"Ok go get your cloaks… I mean coats. And we will go and get our supper. I will get Lukie. Go on. Get." She put her daughter down who ran toward the coat room to get the coats. Meanwhile Hermione went to collect her son. Lucas Granger was sleeping on his back with his arms above his head, breathing deeply. Hermione picked him up and he stirred.
"Shh baby go back to sleep it's just Mummy we are going home now 'kay?"
"'Kay Mummy." And the little boy snuggled in his mothers arms. Lissy came with her and Luke's coats. She had hers on upside down and was handing her brother's over to her mother as Hermione laid Luke down to fix her daughter's coat.
"Here baby let Mummy fix your coat. There all better. Now you won't look like a goof ball when we see Uncie Ron and Auntie Ginny." Lissy giggled.
"'Opers I don't are we goin' toe see Uncie Harry too?" Lissy asked attentively. Harry Potter was a touchy subject to Hermione and Ron. For he had died in the last battle against Lord Voldemort two years ago the exact day Hermione found out she was having a baby. In fact that whole year was messed up.
"Yes Baby-girl we are. Should we get flowers for him today?"
"Yeah! 'Is time I gets to ick 'em out righ Mummy?"
"Yeppers only if Luke is still sleeping. If he isn't we each get him one. Ok?
'Kay. Now lets go toe get the 'owers and the food." Hermione had put her son's coat on and the family left the Daycare.
^*^*
Luke was still sleeping when they picked out the flowers for Harry. Lissy had picked out a red rose, a yellow daffodil, and an orange tiger lily for Luke.
Hermione had gotten an extra rose to give him for Ron. Now they were walking down the street with Lissy holding Hermione's hand and the flowers in her small pudgy hand oh so carefully so not to crush her Uncie Harry's flowers. Even though she had never known Harry; Hermione, Ron and Ginny had made it a tradition to visit Harry at the memorial every Thursday with Hermione's kids. Then after that they all went to Hermione's small house and ordered takeout before Luke and Lissy's bedtime. Now they were walking down the street of Muggle London when they passed a tall platinum blond haired man with Luke's grey eyes. It was Draco Alden Malfoy. He stopped when he saw Lissy and Luke. Hermione was hidden behind Luke's sleeping brown haired head. He shrugged and walked on. Or so she thought. Hermione took a deep breath and crossed the street to go into the Leaky Cauldron to get into Wizarding London or to witches and wizards Diagon Alley.
^*^
"Evenin' Hermione, Miss Lissy." Said the man who walked passed them. Hermione nodded at the passer bye and walked out the back door to the alley way followed by Draco. The four (Draco was unnoticed) walked up Diagon Alley to a small memorial set up by Hermione, Ron and the rest of Harry's friends and admirers.
"Melissa Rose! You get bigger every week. By Merlin so does Luke. Want me to take him, Hon?" Ginny asked holding her hands out for Luke.
"Nah thanks Gin I'm good I want to keep him this age forever…sigh but he will just grow up hating his mother… Just like his father." Oh my god its Hermione, was she pregnant back at school? Are they mine? A boy and girl she has the kids she wants, is she married? Melissa Rose… Lissy… she is beautiful… Lucas what? Draco? Alden? Hell I don't know. I'll just wait to see. Draco was sitting in the bushes around the memorial. Out of sight but not out of Hermione's mind.
"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked looking for the twins' godfather.
"Had to work late, he'll be here soon. What's wrong Mione?"
"I saw Draco today. He saw Lissy and Luke but not me." She replied watching Lissy play on the jungle gym they had put there for kids in the park. Luke stirred when Hermione sat down. He woke up.
"Mummy?"
"Hey there sleepy-head. Look who's here."
"AUNTIE GINNY!" the little boy cried launching himself into Ginny's arms. Your daddy too baby boy. Daddy too. Draco thought.
"Go on go and play with Lissy until Ron arrives." With that he ran off to play with his sister. Hermione was talking to Ginny when there was a wail from over towards the play area.
"Mummy Luke hit me!"
"Lucas Xavier! What have I told you about hitting?"
"Sorrwey Mummy." Luke said shamefully. Then continued playing.
"Uh oh Hermione is in a mood, Gin run fast." A deep male voice spoke behind Hermione. The kids heard the voice and ran towards him.
"Uncie Ron!" They yelled.
"Luke! Lissy!" Ron Weasley echoed his godchildren and bent down to pick them up.
"Hey Ron ready? These two monsters are getting hungry." Hermione said giving her best friend a hug with the two children in there. They squealed.
"Mummy we are not monstures we are angels and you no it." Luke said pouting.
"Uh-huh Mummy Angels!" piped Lissy.
"OK, OK angels get your flowers and put them on Uncle Harry's memorial. Ron I got you one to if you want it."
"Thanks Herms. I'll use it. Merlin I still can't believe Harry is dead. Did he know about Luke and Lissy?" Ron put the kids down and they ran to play.
"N-no-yes he knew, I told him when he told me goodbye."
~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~ {() this means Hermione was telling them what was happening}
"Harry?" Seventeen year old Hermione walked into the Gryffindor common room to see Harry Potter and tell her news.
"Oh hey Mae come here I want to tell something." (He called me Mae only when he was scared or angry at me or Ron. It's my middle name.)
"Really? I want to tell you something too."
"I want to go first." (Harry looked scared to death. But so was I. I mean I was having a baby at seventeen. I didn't know what he wanted to tell me.)
"Come here sit." Harry said pulling her into a chair.
"What in all that is magical is going on here Harry?" (Harry took me by my hand and squeezed it hard. He had never held my hand before. That was when I knew something was wrong.)
"You remember me telling you last year about the prophecy that I found out about in fifth year. Its about to come true. Tonight." He got up and started pacing.
"T-tonight. Oh Harry." (I got up and ran to him. We hugged. I looked up at him.)
"I sent Ron for you to say goodbye Mae. You are my sister in everyway but one. Let's change that." Harry pulled out a pocket knife.
"Are you sure Harry…? The magic of blood is really strong. I mean if you do that you will be my baby's uncle…oops." Her hand flew to her mouth.
"B-baby… Hermione Mae Granger are you pregnant?"
"Yes I am. Come on Harry cut me and do it before I lose my nerve, I want to be your sister." He cut an H in the palm of her hand. She placed an H in his palm also. They pressed their hands together. The blood sticky and slick.
"There Mae I have a family, you and that baby. Oh Little Sister." They hugged again.
I love you Harry. If the baby is a boy I want to name him after you. Or if it is a girl I want to name her Harriet Jane."
NO! Mae don't do that name her Melissa Rose. Melissa was my Grandmother's name Sirius told me that. And Rose was my Grandmother Evans's name. If it's a boy Lucas Xavier after my grandfathers. Please Mae please do that for me? Please?"
"Alright Harry I will." (I started to cry as did Harry. Oh Merlin.)

Hermione walked over to the memorial and placed her rose on the top of the memorial and kissed Harry's name.

"C-come on Lissy, Luke lets go home. Ron would you want to pick up the food for me, please." Hermione and her kids left to go home. Draco just stood there in the bushes with tears in his eyes.
"Oh Hermione what did I do to you? What did I do?"
