Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any characters from the series! I do however own Cara, Susan, Page, Meg, Trevor and Josh. Do you think they'd let me trade them all in for Draco? grins innocently

Now onto the fic!
Last time on My Girls!…
"I was teaching her the ropes." Cara said obviously. Draco continued to stare at his daughter.
"Why?" He finally asked.
"Susan said to." Cara explained. Draco nodded finally understanding.
"Listen, Susan just wanted you to keep things steady around here. Teaching Page the ropes is an expression. People say it a lot when they mean to take care of someone. You see?" Cara nodded.
"Thanks dad." Cara said with a smile before leaving the kitchen. Draco turned to Page and she clapped happily before he smiled and picked her up.
"Alright Angel let's go bother mummy." Draco said in somewhat of a baby voice as he picked her up and she giggled making him smile proudly.
Now on My Girls!…Draco entered the study silently. He saw Hermione sitting at her desk buried in a book and her back to him. He smirked and put a finger to his lips while looking at his daughter who smiled. Draco smiled back and brought her over to her mother.
"Mummy…" Draco said holding out Page to Hermione who immediately turned to her daughter who was currently being used as a puppet by her husband.
"Daddy says he needs some lovin' and wants you to drop your book and concentrate on more important things." Page giggled at her mother. Hermione took Page with a smile and turned her chair to Draco who gave a puppy dog look.
"Daddy? Mummy says that it's not right to talk about this around the children." Hermione lowered the baby with a grin as Draco pouted.
"Nice try though." She continued with a smile as she shut her book and stood up.
Hermione looked at the clock on the wall and began to walk to the kitchen.
"Almost time for dinner. My little Page must be hungry." Hermione said in a baby voice to Page while walking. Draco followed shortly behind looking quite put out. They reached the kitchen and Hermione set Page in her seat to keep her occupied while Hermione reached for the pans she'd need for cooking.
"Why on earth did we put those pans so high up?" Hermione asked rhetorically. Draco smirked as he watched his wife stand on a chair to reach the top cupboard.
"Gives me a better view dear." He remarked with a growing smirk. Hermione rolled her eyes and stepped down with the things she needed and began to work. Draco frowned and walked up behind her. He set his chin on her shoulder and watched her cut up vegetables for supper for a moment before wrapping his arms around her waist. Hermione tried to hide her smile but Draco saw it tugging at her lips and smiled.
"Draco…" Hermione began as she stopped cutting.
"Yes dear?" He said innocently before kissing her neck.
"The baby…" Hermione began.
"You want a fourth?" He asked hopefully. Hermione turned to him with a frown.
"No." Draco pouted. "Come on…" He began. Hermione's eyes narrowed in a dangerous manner.
"Listen here Malfoy." She began threateningly and he backed up slightly towards his daughter who currently left her attention to her parents.
"I just had YOUR third child and YOU are not in a position to bargain for another, so next time you get the bright idea to mention another kid I suggest you keep it to yourself got it?" Hermione asked in a dangerously calm tone. Draco nodded slowly and sighed before leaving the room. Hermione almost felt bad but there was no way she was ever having another child. Hermione turned to Page as her daughter looked away from her mother as though she was hiding from answering questions. Hermione sighed before finishing dinner.
"Hey Malfoy! How was your class?" Trevor ran up to Susan with a grin as soon as she left the classroom.
"Sort of boring actually." Susan said sadly.
"You really are like your father." Trevor said with a knowing smirk. Susan raised an eyebrow.
"Why do you say that?" She asked curiously. Trevor turned to her and nodded.
"Your father was known for being the best at everything in Slytherin! No class was ever a challenge so I figure it wouldn't be for you either." Trevor explained.
"How does everyone know so much about my dad? I mean Josh is the one with the famous Harry Potter as a dad what makes my dad so well-known?" Susan asked. Trevor rolled his eyes at her naivety.
"Your dad was the Prince of Slytherin. From the stories I hear he was a great guy. And don't take me wrong sure Harry was famous but he was a Gryffindor. We can't live fawning over Gryffindors for the rest of our lives." Trevor said as though he were in a heated argument. Susan held up a hand.
"Sorry I asked." She mumbled with a small smile to show she was kidding. Trevor smiled sheepishly.
"Your dad just wrote the book for Slytherins." Trevor shrugged. Susan nodded absentmindedly as she headed off to her next class without an escort.
"Dumbledore's gone mad!" Hermione walked into the living room with Cara by her side and Page on her hip.
"What?" She asked as she bounced Page in the air with a smile as her daughter giggled happily. Draco was sitting on the couch with a letter in his hand before he dropped it onto the coffee table.
"Read this. He's crazy." Draco said handing the note to his wife after taking their daughter from her grasp. Hermione took the letter and read it twice before a grin fell onto her face.
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Malfoy,
As you might already know there are many students at Hogwarts this year that have parents from your era. The teachers and I have decided that it would be fun to host a party or as the muggles call it a high school reunion of sorts for you. We think it will be most interesting and hope you will come. The dates are as follows and please RSVP when you get the chance. Hope to see you soon Mr. Malfoy and former Miss Granger.
Dumbledore
Headmaster
"Are you kidding! This is brilliant! Oh it will be so much fun to catch up Draco." Hermione said excitedly.
"I suppose." Draco remarked as he stopped playing with Page and turned to his wife.
"Oh no." Hermione said sadly looking at the paper.
"What is it?" Draco asked curiously.
"Who's going to watch the girls? According to the dates my parents are out of town." Hermione explained pointing to the paper in her other hand. Draco took the paper and looked at the dates and nodded before setting it down.
"We'll just ask my mother to baby sit them." Draco shrugged. Hermione gave him a horror struck look.
"What?" Hermione asked setting the paper on the coffee table.
"What? She's good with the girls…" Draco began.
"Yes but she hates me! She always has a comment or something about how I do things." Hermione said with a pout. Draco shook his head.
"Yes she does! Remember when she met Cara?" Hermione said as Draco rolled his eyes with a smile.
"All she said all day was I suppose it will have to do after you've raised Susan. Remember that? Constantly at me." Hermione said sadly.
"It's just for a night." Draco remarked. Hermione sighed.
"I'll give her a call." Draco said going to the fire place.
Hermione groaned. Just then a head showed up in their fireplace. Cara grinned, Draco looked surprised, Hermione screamed and Page looked ready to cry.
"Draco, so good to see you." Draco smiled at his mother's head.
"I was just about to call you." He said.
"Yes, well I figured you'd need someone to baby sit. I heard all about the party Dumbledore is planning and I haven't seen my granddaughters in awhile. Not to mention the newest little baby. Was it a boy?" Narcissa asked looking past her son to the baby.
"No mother, another girl." Draco explained. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Well I suppose if you raised Susan and Cara she should be alright." Narcissa commented with indifference. Hermione bit her tongue to stop from insulting her mother-in-law.
"Well, it's been lovely talking with you Narcissa, we really must catch up but we'll see you on the 14th. Thanks again buh bye!" Hermione said before grabbing Page and leaving the room. Narcissa gave Draco a curious look.
"You could have married…" She began.
"Good bye mother." Draco said clearly ending the discussion.
"Do I get to go to a ball?" Cara asked her mother. She had left the living room following Hermione into the nursery. Hermione laid Page down for a nap and led Cara out of the room.
"Not this time Sweet Pea." Hermione said. Cara pouted.
"Susan gets everything fun." Cara said boredly.
"She gets to go to school and Page is too little to play with." Cara pouted.
"You'll grow up before you know it sweet pea." Hermione said with a warm smile before ruffling the young girls hair before leaving the room.
