Disclaimer: We don't own Draco or Hermione. We own the rest of the characters mentioned thus far and the plot.

A/N: Reviews are a lovely thing to see when we get online, they make us feel so good that sometimes we update when we weren't planning on it. ;)

Enjoy!

When Hermione woke up the next morning, she was alone in their room. Draco's spot was cold, so he hadn't been in bed for a while. Hermione stood up from the warmth of the blankets and searched the room for her discarded clothing. She found the remains of her panties and put it on her list of things to scold Draco for. She also picked up her T-shirt and tossed it in the hamper.

Quickly, she dressed and then checked on Caleb. He wasn't in his crib so he must have been with Draco; Jasmine was missing as well. As Hermione made her way down the stairs, the sound of laughing voices reached her ears. She saw, as she turned the corner, Jaz sitting on her father's lap holding Caleb. He was watching carefully.

When Jaz gave Caleb back to her father, Hermione decided to emerge. Draco smiled lovingly and Jasmine ran to her mother.

"Mummy!" she laughed as Hermione scooped her up in her arms and rested her daughter on her hip. "Good morning," Jaz smiled. Then her eyes lit up. "Guess what Daddy said I could do!"

"What?"

"Daddy said I could start school. Can I Mummy? Can I?" Jaz pleaded.

Hermione tilted her head. "Do you want to?" she asked.

Jaz grinned and nodded rapidly.

"Then yes, I suppose you can," Hermione 'decided.'

"Thank you, Mummy!" Jasmine smiled. She gave her mum a small kiss on the cheek and then squirmed to be put down. Hermione lowered until the three-year-olds shoes were flat on the ground. Jasmine ran out of the room and headed for the back door.

"Jasmine!" Hermione called after her daughter. "Where are you going?" she asked when the girl stopped and turned around.

"I want to tell Ruby that I get to go to school now," she yelled back, eager to visit her friend across the street.

"You know the rules, Jazzy, Chrissy has to go with you."

Jaz nodded and went off to find her sitter. Hermione went to Draco.

"He looks just like you," she sighed.

Draco was examining Caleb's hands. "He's so tiny."

"He didn't feel so tiny a few days ago," she laughed, remembering the painful birth in detail.

Draco smiled and kissed her. "I love you," he said and it pained Hermione because she didn't think she could say it back just yet.

"I know," she grinned.

Draco looked back to Caleb downhearted. What was it that would earn her love? Suddenly, Hermione's conversation with their son came to his mind and he knew.

A/N: Hmmm... I wonder what it is... Well, I know, but I know you are all wondering.

And tell us your thoughts on GoF as well! We saw it at the IMAX and it was awesome. And Draco in the black suit at the World Cup...hot!
