Chapter 3- Epilogue
"And that's how it all happened, not many years after you were born" Draco concluded his story to his 3 year old daughter, who was tucked up in bed.
"Thank you daddy, I love that story" she said, hugged him and rolled over to go to sleep. Draco walked to the door and looked back at his little daughter, Rosie they called her. He turned the light off and closed the door as he left.
He walked into the next room to see his beautiful wife wrapped up in bed waiting for him to come to bed.
"Which story was it?" Hermione asked as Draco got into bed.
"How we got together," he said
"How many times is that now?"
"About a hundred, and you know we will have to tell it to Demy when she is born" he said patting Hermione's swollen stomach. "Goodnight" he said before he kissed her
"Night Draco" Hermione said
Hermione rolled over and Draco' strong arms wrapped round her. She recalled what happened when she saw Draco after he showed up at her house that night.
Flashback"I'm sorry" he said looking at someone who looked confused
"What?"
"Hermione I'm sorry"
"Malfoy…come in" she said dragging him in "follow me"
"Nice place" he said looking around
"Thanks, now I take it this isn't a social call, what do you want?"
"I'm sorry, I came to say that I'm sorry"
"For?"
"Everything, the way I was in Hogwarts, especially on our graduation day"
"I shouldn't have told you, I knew you wouldn't understand" she brushed it off
"That's the thing, I think I did, too much, that's why I was cold to you"
"You acted the way you usually do"
"Again I'm sorry. Hermione I think that I loved you too"
"You thought you loved me then?"
"Yeah I did, we were just always at each others throat and I think that I liked you, and like grew to love. Same with you I expect?"
"Pretty much. So you think you loved me?"
"I use to think I loved you"
"And know?" Hermione asked afraid of the answer, it was true that she had never totally got rid of the feelings she harbored for him.
"I know that I love you" he said kissing her
"Oh god" she moaned "I've never stopped loving you" she said pulling him back into the kiss and dragging him closer to her. Draco only complied.
End flashback
Hermione smiled happily that was the start of her life, she couldn't imaging Draco out of her life now, they had been married for 6 years, they got married a year after they met each other again, 2 years later they had Rosie, their little girl and now 3 years after that they were expecting another child. Another girl, which they had decided to call Demy.
Draco took one look at his wife, sleeping soundly beside him; memories of how his life seemed to start flooded back into his head.
Flashback"Mother, call off the wedding" he said as he ran into the room, which his mother was in
"Excuse me Draco?" she said dropping her wand, which she was carrying
"Call off the wedding, I'm not getting married to her"
"Why?"
"I've met someone"
"What about Pansy?"
"I don't care about her, if it wasn't for father and his damned lack of money, I wouldn't have thought about her since we left school, its only because of the wedding that I have to think about how she will ruin my life"
"And who is this woman?"
"I love her so much, I've loved her since we were at school, and since I found her again, last month I've never been so happy as when I'm with her." he said
"Name her Draco" she commanded, smiling at Draco smiling, which she rarely saw, only once had she see this smile, it was the day they buried Lucius.
"Hermione Granger"
"The mu-"
"Don't call her that"
"Draco, I don't have the same beliefs as your father did. Mudblood is such a nasty word. So is Hermione the muggle born witch who you hated?"
"Yes…but I really love her"
"True love?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes, I love her and she me, she is who I shall marry"
"You're marrying her?"
"No, maybe in a year or so. Mother call off the wedding please"
"The same witch, who beat you in every class, the one who slapped you in your third year, the one who once-"
"The one and only mother" he said cutting her off "Please call off the wedding"
"Do you honestly love her Draco, and she love you" Narcissa said looking at Draco
He had the biggest smile on his face, his once stone gray eyes were now bright blue, and he looked so happy. Narcissa had noticed the change ever since he came in one day, about a month ago, he smiled more often, but not this usually smile, this smile would make Lucius turn in his grave, now the though of this made her smile
"Yes" was his simple answer "Call off the-" he was cut off
"As long as I get to meet her, I'm very sure I shall like her, after all she is everything Lucius hated, smarter than you" Draco frowned "Lucius often said she was very beautiful" he frowned even more, how dare his father say that she was beautiful "She is muggle born, she must be very lucky to have you son"
"Lots are" he smirked "Seriously, I'm the lucky one"
"Consider the wedding off"
"What wedding?" Came pansy's voice from the doorway "I hope you don't mean our wedding"
"Sorry pansy" Narcissa said looking anything but sorry, she hated the girl.
"I'm with someone else" Draco added
"Who?" she asked
"Hermione Granger"
"Mudblood"
"Don't call her that, and yes Hermione and I are in love, always have been"
"I though you love me, I love you"
"I've never loved you pansy"
"Is that why you never wanted to sleep with me, because you don't love me"
"That's a part, but actually its mainly because you remind me of a dog" Draco said "A very ugly one at that" Pansy wailed and broke out in tears
"Now out of my house" Narcissa added and shooed her out of the house
"But, you need the money" Pansy said evilly
"Yes we do, but have you seen how happy Draco is these days. I would rather see him like this than be rich. My son's happiness is more important that money"
"You'll come back to me Draco…you know you won't be happy with her" Pansy screamed as Narcissa escorted her out of the house. Draco knew he wouldn't be back to her any time soon and he was right.
Life after that was history, Narcissa and Hermione met and they both liked each other, Narcissa was able to treat her like a real daughter, something lucius never let her have, she showed her things that she wasn't able to show Draco, memorabilia from her student days, dresses from dances, they shared stories about old romances and Hermione loved more Narcissa especially when they discussed muggle literature and both shared a love for Oscar Wilde and Jane Austin books. Draco was very pleased to see his mother and Hermione happy together,
End flash backDraco moved closer to herm and wrapped his arms around her, Hermione felt his presence and moved into him.
"Hermione, I love you so much" he whispered and kissed her lightly on her cheek "You're my life"
"And your mine" she sighed and feel deeper into her slumber.
