Harry sat outside enjoying the beautiful fall weather. The sun was shinning, it was warm with that distinctive crispness to the air that only fall brought. Perfect quidditich weather.

"A little bird told me there's a match today." Hermione walked up to him in the courtyard.

He turned quickly and smiled up at her. "I didn't know they let you out."

"Madam Pomfrey thinks that, since I'm feeling better, some fresh air could do me good."

His face twisted into a feral grin. "Won't be too much fresh air. We're playing the snakes after all."

She giggled taking a seat next to him. "How are our prospects this year?"

"Do you really need to ask?"

"So you've been training their seeker then?"

"Just a little." he watched her a moment. "Come on, we should go if we want to get a seat."

"Will it be that packed?"

"Yes and no. It will be packed but I like to sit next to Severus and taunt him."

"Severus?"

"Don't ask. Just don't."

Hermione raised her hands in defeat.

Harry glared at her grin but pulled her quickly toward the pitch.

"Oh by Merlin can't you sit somewhere else?" Snape looked at Harry as if he was ready to curse him.

"And miss your sparkling personality. Or the chance to see your face when your Slytherins lose."

"Strange, I was going to see your face when the Gryffandors get run into the ground."

Hermione watched the exchange and shook her head. The two men bickered playful back and forth.

"And you Miss Granger, How do you think this will end?"

She looked up as Snape addressed her.

"Well, I'm not sure I can say as I haven't seen either team."

Severus was about to say something but she interrupted to finish her though.

"But, as I am a Gryffandor, I'm afraid, Headmaster, I will have to side with my house."

He glared between them ad sharply turned back to the pitch. "Sit down, the game is starting."

The game was exciting and long but in the end Gryffandor emerged victorious.

Harry and Hermione walked back to the castle with the sulking headmaster.

"Stop rubbing it in, Potter." He looked up toward the castle.

Harry followed his gaze. There were two people walking toward them and two little girls running down the hill.

"Daddy!" Kaitlyn ran down the hill and into her father's arms.

Harry swept her up and hugged her. "Oh, I missed you."

"You sodding Gryffandors cheated didn't you?" Draco came up to them his arms crossed over his chest.

"Draco, play nice." Ginny followed closely holding Claudia's hand.

"I don't want to." His eyes rested on Hermione a small distance behind Harry. "Hello Hermione." he pushed Harry out of the way and stepped up to her.

"Hello Draco." She looked at him a long moment. He was still the same boy she remembered from school.

"You look like the hell."

"Nope, you haven't changed a bit."

"Who's that daddy?" The little girl in Harry's arms asked.

"She used to be a friend of mine, honey."

The words echoed in Hermione's head. "Excuse me." She pushed passed them and ran back into the castle.

Harry stumbled a bit as Snape and Malfoy's hand's simultaneously contacted with the back of his head.

"What was that for?!?"

"She used to be a friend? Even I'm not that insulting."

"Honestly, Potter. She finally came out and you go and scare her away. What kind of ignorant moron are you?" Severus raged.

Draco narrowed his eyes and raised his nose in the air. "He's a Gryffandor. You can't expect much from their type."

Ginny saw her obvious clue and stepped in. "I think this has gone far enough." She stepped between her husband and Harry.

"Thank you, Ginny." He set Kaitlyn on the ground.

She smiled sweetly right before grabbing hold of his ear and dragging him into the castle.

"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET, YOU SOUL-LESS BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER! I CAN'T BELIVE YOU ARE SO IGNORANT!"

Draco and Severus watched them leave.

"She certainly is her mother's daughter."

"No," Draco shook his head, "she make's Molly seem sweet and mild. Trust me, I have the scars to prove it."

"Daddy, why is mommy killing Uncle Harry?" Claudia sounded very interested as she watched.

"Umm…here," he handed her some money, "Go buy some candy."

"Children shouldn't see this."

"Nope."
