A/N: Thanks to Miranda for proof-reading for me. Also, thanks to anyone who reviewed. Sorry this chapter is so short, but I am writing my next chapter and I promise it will be longer.
Draco was right. He was in for a big change. Hermione decided that she wanted to go back to her old self, so she started wearing all her new punk clothes. Draco didn't like it at all! He thought she looked like a freak, but he wouldn't say anything because he knew that she would just get mad, so he just dealt with it.
Hermione also started hanging around with Cooper a lot. Draco was starting to wonder why. About a week into Hermione's "change", Draco was tired of looking at Hermione like that. He much preferred her the way she was before. So he thought of a reason to get her to change back.
The next morning, Draco and Hermione were sitting on the couch, while Max and Michelle were on the floor, playing.
"Hermione, can I talk to you a sec?" Draco asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I know that it was your decision to start wearing these clothes again, but I think it's a bad idea. I mean, Michelle and Max need role models and they are gonna follow our examples. Do you really want your kids to turn out like this? And do you really want your kids to grow up with a gothic mother?" Draco asked, trying really hard to convince Hermione to go back to the way she was.
Hermione thought about it, then replied, "You're right Draco. I have children now and I shouldn't be dressed like this to give them a bad influence. I'll go change." Hermione did just that. She went to her room and discarded her punk clothes and put on some "normal" clothes. Then she walked back out and went over to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat, but when she opened the cabinet, it was empty.
"We still haven't gone grocery shopping yet!" Hermione said. "If we don't soon, we'll starve."
"Well, let's go now," Draco said.
"Ok," Hermione said, grabbing her purse and then picking up Max and Michelle. Draco said that he would drive.
"You know how to drive?" Hermione asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. My mum made me take the lessons and get a license in case I was stuck in a situation where I couldn't fly or Apparate out of it."
"Ok, well, you can drive then," Hermione said, handing Draco the car keys. They went out to the car, Hermione buckled Max and Michelle into their car seats and got in the front seat. They drove to the grocery store. When they got inside, Hermione put Max in the seat in the front of the cart, while Draco offered to take Michelle.
As they drove down the isle, they started picking out the things they thought they would want to eat. They went around the whole store and they went to the checkout. When Hermione got to the cash, she noticed that her old friend Ryan was the clerk.
"Hey Ry, long time no see, how have you been?" Hermione asked, putting the items on the checkout.
"Hermione? Oh my god, it's good to see you. I've been great. How about you?"
"Awesome. Couldn't be any happier," Hermione smiled. Ryan then noticed Max and Michelle.
"Is that your brother and sister?" Ryan asked, slightly confused.
"No," Hermione responded. "This is my daughter Michelle and my son Max."
"Daughter? Son?" Ryan asked, astounded.
"Yeah, and this is my husband, Draco," Hermione said.
"Husband? But your only 18. And speaking of which, happy belated birthday."
"Thanks. I know I'm only 18 but I know I made the right decisions. I love Draco with all my heart, and I could never love anyone else the way I love him," Hermione responded.
"Not even Cooper?" Ryan asked, causing Draco to start listening more intently.
"No, not even Cooper," Hermione said.
When everything was checked in, Hermione paid for it.
"It was good seeing you again Ry," Hermione said.
"Yeah, good to see you too," he replied.
Hermione and Draco loaded the car and Draco drove once again. When they got home, the brought Max and Michelle downstairs and Draco brought down the groceries.
As the were unpacking the food, Ron and Harry walked out of their bedrooms.
"Morning," Hermione said.
"Morning," they replied. Harry looked like he didn't get any sleep at all, were Ron looked like he slept perfectly.
"Didn't sleep well Harry?" Hermione asked.
"I slept fine. I just always look like this when I wake up," Harry stated.
"It's true Hermione," Ron added.
"Do you guys want some coffee or something? We finally have groceries. We bought them this morning," Hermione said. Ron and Harry both nodded, so Hermione put on a pot of coffee. When it was done, the four of them sat down at the table and had a cup of coffee.
"This is great. I'm living with my two best friends as well as the love of my life. Everyone I care deeply about I see everyday. This is definitely the best life ever," Hermione said, as everyone agreed.
