Hermione and Ron exchanged a shocked look not knowing entirely what she meant. "What do you mean, you did?" Hermione asked her voice rising slightly. "You haven't gotten married! I think I would remember my first born's wedding! It's not as though went off and eloped" she said her voice cracking and tears threatening to make their presence known. Ron caught a look on Madison's face and took in a sharp breath.

"You did." He said, She looked at her father with sadness in her eyes and fear for what was going to happen next. "You eloped" he said again.

"It was the only way" she said in a small voice finding her seat. "It was the only way we could be together."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Hermione said her eyes wide. "Why would you have to hide something like this from us?"

"You wouldn't have approved" she said in a stern tone. "I know you wouldn't have"

"Who?" Ron asked. He had a son-in-law and didn't even know his name.

"How do you know we wouldn't have approved." Hermione asked again the tears flowing freely now.

"You two have never spoken well of his family" She said. Ron slammed his fist down on the table.

"Who?" he asked again his temper flaring. Hermione placed a hand on Ron's trying to calm him down some what. Madison looked at her parents and she saw exactly what she knew she would, hurt and disappointment. She took a deep breath.

"You two have to promise that you won't judge me, or thinking poorly of me" she said. Ron watched her daughter and was preparing himself for what she was about to say. "His name is Jacob" she said with a soft smile playing on her lips but it faltered when she heard her fathers voice.

"Jacob who?" he asked.

"Malfoy" she said her smile faltering. Hermione looked at her daughter confused.

"You didn't think to tell us that you were with a Malfoy?" Ron asked. "Do you know what kind of family he belongs to, what kind of horrible things his father did to us?" he asked looking at her like he didn't know who she was.

"Daddy please" she said. "He's not like his father" Hermione didn't know what to say. She was upset at her daughter, and happy for her, and disappointed in her, and all these other emotions she couldn't seem to sort out right now. So she did the only logical thing she could think of, she got up and went upstairs to her room, to think. Madison looked horrified. Her father was beyond mad at her and her mother had just left.

"I think you should go for now" Ron said stabilizing his voice. "Give us some time to sort this out" And with that he followed his wife upstairs leaving his eldest daughter sitting at the kitchen table. She fought back tears just before she appropriated back to her home, hoping that Jacob would be there to help her pick up the pieces.

When Ron got up to their room he saw Hermione inher favorite spot. Sitting in front of her Bay window on the window seat. She had something sitting in her lap and as he got closer he realized what it was. A photo album. He stood behind her and put a hand on her shoulder and has she reached up to place her hand on his he saw the picture she was looking at. It was Madison when she was about five years old, dressed like a bride.

"Do you remember that?" she said in small voice.

Flashback

"Where is that girl?" Hermione asked coming from outside. It was a hot summer day and she had been working out in the garden. She had sent Madison inside to check on her brothers. As she walked in the house she placed her things by the back door and headed up stairs. Lucas was playing in his room and the younger two were sound alseep. She looked in Madisons room and didnt see her. She was starting to get worried until she heard something fall to the floor and a giggle. She went toward the sound of the noise and grinned when she saw what her little girl was up to.

"Look Mommy" she said grinning up at her mum. "Don't I look pretty?" she asked. She had put on her fancy summer dress which was white with some lace, and her matching shoes. It also looked like she had pulled Hermione's vail out of the closet and put in on her head the best she could. And she had gotten into the little bit of make up that Hermione had.

"You look just like a princess" she said grabbing the camera and taking a few pictures.

"No not a princess, a bride!" she said laughing. "I want my wedding dress to look just like this"

"What are my girls up to?" Ron said entering the room with Lucas on his back and both boys attached to his legs. Hermione looked at him and laughed. Ron loved nothing more than her and the children. She liked to think that not even Quidditch ranked higher then his family.

"Don't I look pretty Daddy?" Madison said repeating the same question to her father.

"You look stunning" he said. Hermione stood next to Ron and watched and Lucas and the boys started to chase their little sister around the room. They were laughing and having a good time.

"She's going to make a beautiful bride one day" Hermione whispered to him.

"Shes only five" Ron said with a frown. "We have a good twenty-five more years at least" Hermione laughed.

"You really think she's going to wait until she is 30 to get married." Ron gave her a look that clearly said he would kill any little boy that tried. "Don't give me that look. After all we married the year after we got out of Hogwarts, and who came along nine months later?" She asked grinning. Ron smiled and put an arm around her kissing her forehead. "I can't wait until the day she gets married. It has to be magical for her, just like mine was for me. All her friends and family, and anything she wants" She said. Ron nodded in agreement.

"I'll get to walk her down the isle" he said with a goofy grin on his face. "She'll need me for that" he added.

"She'll need you for allot more than that" Hermione said leaning her head on his shoulder.

End Flashback

"We missed it" she said. "We missed all of it." Ron squeezed her shoulder gently. "I didnt get to help her plan, I don't even know what her dress looked like" she said.

"I know, I didn't get to walk her down the isle either" Ron said. Hermione moved over and ron sat down pulling her into his lap and holding her tight. They didn't realize that both Amy and Jessica had been standing at the door. They both looked at each other and ran down stairs to find everyone.

"What do you two want?" Alex asked. They had managed to get all of their siblings together even Lucas who had come home for dinner.

"Something is wrong with Mommy and Daddy" Amy said.

"They are sitting in their room and Mum is crying" Jessica added. The boys looked at each other and then Lucas grabbed Amy and Nathan took Jessica and they all headed up stairs to see what was going on. They were still by the window and Lucas was first to break the silence by clearing his throat. Hermione and Ron looked up to see all of their children except for Madison looking at them completely concerned. Hermione smiled at her children. Amy and Jessica got down and headed toward their parents.

"Is everything alright?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah what's going on?" Nathan added. They all moved closer and sat down around their parents to hear the news.

"Madison what's the matter sweetheart?" Jacob asked walking into their kitchen finding his wife in tears. He looked just like his father.

"I told them" she said looking up at him. "And they hate me" she added. He sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulder and she leaned into him.

"They don't hate you" he said. "They are just upset. They'll come around" he said. "I told my parents today as well" he said.

"How's they take it" she asked.

"Well lets see, mother just cried and father" he said smirking that Malfoy smirk. "Said some harsh things and something about being partially disowned." She looked at him and frowned and all he could do was shurg. "I'll get over it and so will they. We are going to give them a grandchild. I think that will bring everyone around"

"Great" she said resting her hand on her stomach, "Seven more months of silence"
