Like I said in the first chapter, I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own Ethan Jacob, Sarah Michaels, Charlie, Morganna, and Jeremy.

Anything in this is a riddle made from the lyrics.

17 Months Later

Hermione Malfoy sits on the couch in her pajamas feeding Morganna her morning milk and apple sauce. "Its a good day for you," Hermione coos, "Yes it is, it's someone's second Christmas. It's just too bad that your daddy couldn't be awake to see it." Hermione looks out the window and sees that it's almost time to go out to watch the sunrise.

After Morganna finishes her apple sauce, Hermione picks up her daughter and goes to her room. She gets her daughter's snowsuit and slips Morganna into it. Hermione, still holding Morganna, heads to the master bedroom, her bedroom, and grabs her bathrobe and slippers. She lays Morganna on the bed and throws on extra layers before putting her robe on.

Hermione picks Morganna up and walks out onto the balcany. Hermione sits down on the rocking chair that she practically raised Morganna on so far and watches as the sun peeks over the horizon.

Hermione watches as the Malfoy Estate turns from a dark musty setting to a pure and beautiful sight.

You said that we were gonna last forever you said that our love would never die...

Hermione looks down at Morganna a few moments later and finds her asleep with a goofy smile on her face. Her blonde hair is already thick and starting to curl. While her eyes were open, Morganna has the brightest hazel eyes that could be found on Earth. She continues to rock her baby until something catches her eye.

She gets up and walks to the table. She finds a rectangular case on the table. She picks it up and walks back to the chair and sits down.

Hermione leans the baby against her body so she can open the case. When she does she finds an inscription and reads the familiar scrawl aloud, "Defeated: Lucius Xavior Malfoy, 1958-2003. Defeator: Draco Xavior Malfoy."

But its a cold day in July...

Hermione feels the tears welling up in her eyes and blinks them back. She notices a note in the cover in the familiar scrawl and reads,

It feels like spring and feels like summer weather...

Hermione looks around for someone who may have left the box but finds no one. She closes the case and sets it on the table. She boosts the baby so her head is laying in the nook of her mother's neck. She picks up the case and swiftly walks back into the house looking for the portrait that held a significant meaning.

The moon is full and my arms are empty,

All night long how I've pleaded and cried,

You always said the day you would leave me,

Would be a cold day in July...

She goes up the stairs to the third level of the house and finds the portrait of herself and Draco. It's in the Hogwarts garden between the spring and summer seasons. It was the last month of school. The portrait was for their Head Boy/Girl portrait for the Hogwarts Rememberance Album. In the portait, Hermione is on the ground on her knees, Draco had his arms around her but was sitting on the bench. Memories run through her head at a rapid pace.

Here comes that cold day in July, Ooohhhh yeah...

Hermione, now in tears, says "Love and roses." The potrait opens and Hermione walks in. She sees Harry and Blaise sitting on the couch with rather smug looks on their faces. Hermione cracks.

"Is this some sick joke on your parts!" Hermione hisses, trying not to wake the baby up, "'Cause if you think that I'm falling for-"

"Calm down, Love," a masculine voice rings from behind her, "You'll wake the baby."

Hermione's lips tremble as she closes her eyes. "No it can't be..."

Draco looks to Harry and Blaise. The two men rise, Harry nods to Draco as if saying a goodbye. Blaise hugs Draco and smirks to him. The men disappear with two echoing "pop".

Draco wraps his arms around Hermione. "But it is."

Hermione shakes her head, "I've finally gone crazy. You were just in the hospital a few days ago, unconscious, out of it even."

Draco rubs her stomach through the material of her clothes. He feels her shudder.

Morganna stirs and wakes up. She moves slightly and scares the living days out of Draco.

"It's a girl," He says.

Hermione finally turns around and smiles weakly. "Her name is Morganna Lynn Malfoy. She was born on January third, and she looks exactly like her dear, ol' dad."

Draco smiles. He coos over the baby until Hermione puts her into his arms. He looks over to his wife, eyes full of shock.

Hermione nods and watches as Draco makes sure that he's supporting Morganna's head.

"She likes the crook of the neck for a pillow. I did when I was little, too," Hermione says softly.

Draco nods, and sits on the couch playing with his baby girl. Hermione sits next to him, on her knees, and watches her loved ones. When the baby gives a wail Hermione snaps out of her reverie. Hermione takes the baby, and takes her out of her snowsuit, and lays her on her back near them and places a shield charm so she won't roll over and fall off the couch.

Draco pulls Hermione into his lap and snuggles into her. He whimpers when Hermione gets up. He laughs and watches as Hermione remove her slippers and the extra layers of clothes, to reveal a white tank and a pair of pink pajama bottoms with little polar bears on them.

She sits back on his lap and holds her husband close. Hermione kisses Draco passionately.

Draco pulls away and smiles, "Happy Christmas, Love."
