After talking, they kissed each other and never realized when sleep hit them. Jade nestled herself on Draco's chest and he had his arms wrapped tightly around her. Jade woke up and looked around seeing the sun hit brightly on the window illuminating the walls. Jade yawned and saw a sleeping Draco next to her. She smiled and went back into his arms loving how they felt around her. Right now, she felt something she never felt before. She loved being able to know she was protected by Draco. She didn't understand what she was feeling but she felt herself falling for him. Maybe she already fell for him but she knew that he made her feel an emotion no man had ever made her feel. Seeing him, she felt happy and comfortable to be with. He was always there for her and he won her heart when he stole Zaara's heart. Jade wished that she could be happy forever and wished that she had Draco with her. She wanted things to stay the way they were and didn't want anything to change, except change the fact that Harry was her husband. Jade softly ran a hand through his hair and then his face as if she was absorbing every single detail on his face. His eyes opened and Jade gasped softly startled that she made him wake up.
"I'm sorry." Jade said quickly.
"Why are you apologizing?" he asked propping his head on his hand.
"You were sleeping…you looked cute." Jade said feeling him tangle his fingers with hers. "Did I sleep here the whole night?" Jade asked and he nodded moving her closer to him.
"You did, do you want to do something about it?" he asked and Jade grinned.
"What could I possibly do?" Jade asked and he smirked.
"You're very capable of doing things…which I love by the way." he said and Jade leaned close to his lips and smiled.
"You do? Tell me what else you love about me." Jade said kissing him.
They stopped hearing the door opening. Draco moved off of Jade and saw Zaara walk in rubbing her eyes.
"Hey love." Jade said helping Zaara to the bed.
"She'll go to sleep soon." Draco said making room for Zaara in the middle of him and Jade. She clutched her teddy bear and looked at the two adults smiling at her. She drifted off to sleep and Draco and Jade spoke with each other about their former years in Hogwarts.
"I know remember when-" Draco was cut off by hearing his wand vibrate and glow. "Sorry." he said getting up and grabbing the wand. A note zoomed out of the tip of his wand and he tore it out reading it.
"Jade…the court set a date for the charges against Potter." Draco said and Jade sat up.
"When?" Jade asked.
"Tomorrow. I have to go to the Ministry right now and see what's going on there, when I come back, I'll give you all the details." he said grabbing his robes.
"Okay…do you want some breakfast?" Jade asked and he checked the clock.
"Sure." he said and Jade nodded leaving to the kitchen. She went downstairs seeing Hermione and Ginny chatting and drinking tea.
"Morning loves." Jade said setting the toaster.
"Good morning…what's the rush?" Ginny asked and Jade turned to her.
"Draco just got the news that the court hearing is tomorrow." Jade informed them.
"Tomorrow?! That's great! The faster the better." Hermione said and Jade nodded.
"He said he has to leave right now so I'm making breakfast for him." Jade said setting the coffeemaker.
"Ah, we understand. How was last night…sleep of course?" Hermione asked and Ginny smiled into her cup.
"What do you mean?" Jade asked and Ginny giggled.
"Hermione saw you both sleeping together in his room." Ginny said.
"Not like that. I went to tell the both of you to eat but you both were sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to wake you. I took Zaara with me to my room to sleep." Hermione said and Jade bit her tongue thanking Hermione.
"I didn't even think of her! Oh I'm so sorry Hermione, I don't even know when we fell asleep." Jade said and Hermione shook her head.
"She didn't disturb me at all! The only thing that disturbed me through the night was Ron's snoring and my baby waking me up." Hermione said and Jade smiled.
"Dillon will be a lucky baby! Wont you?" Jade asked blowing a kiss to her unborn nephew. Draco walked down the stairs and Jade held out a plate of his breakfast and his coffee.
"Thanks." Draco said kissing her in front of Hermione and Ginny.
"You're welcome." Jade blushed as he set them on the table.
"So if Harry is guilty which he WILL have to be…what's the worse punishment he can get?" Ginny asked and Draco shrugged.
"Hopefully he'll snog a damn Dementor to death or just stay in Azkaban with whatever little soul he has left." he said.
"Tell us after you come back. Do you want me to wake Ron so he can go with you?" Hermione asked and Draco shook his head.
"Let him sleep. I'll go and find out. Besides, he's on vacation. I'm on duty." Draco winked and Ginny nodded.
"On duty eh? We see how you're handling your job." she said in an accusing voice.
"Well how else would I do my job then?" Draco asked sipping his coffee.
"Did I object on how you do your job? I say keep going. You just might get a promotion." she said and Jade threw a raisin at her.
"I'll come back quickly. If you need me, you have my chain." Draco told Jade and Jade nodded. "I-" Draco went to say but he saw Hermione and Ginny trying to listen and giggle. "Come here." Draco said pulling Jade away from them. "Be careful when I'm not here…and keep Zaara under your eye at all times." he said and Jade nodded.
"Okay…I'll be back." he said and Jade held on to him. "What's wrong?" he asked and Jade kissed him. She pulled back and smiled.
"Take care of yourself." she said gently and he nodded running a hand across her cheek. Jade stepped back and let him apparate off. She turned around and Ginny and Hermione grinned.
"Will you both stop it? It's not even cute anymore." Jade said blushing.
"Take care of yourself!" Ginny said.
"Be careful!" Hermione sang.
"I love you Draco!" Ginny said holding Hermione's face.
"I love you too Jade!" Hermione said and they both burst into laughter.
"Ha…ha…FUNNY!" Jade said.
"So tell us what happened." Hermione said pulling her to the table as they ate their bagels.
"What? Last night? I didn't even know we went to sleep throughout the night until I woke up right next to him." Jade said and they both nodded at her. "Ok…you both don't believe me, fine." Jade said and they giggled. "I don't know how to tell you both how weird I felt when he was right there sleeping next to me. I just wish things would stay the way they are because I'm very happy where I am right now. I don't need any more drama." Jade said as Hermione and Ginny comforted her.
"The beautiful thing about it was that Zaara came in to Draco's room like she would always do and she fell asleep as we were both watching her. I felt like I had my little family there then." Jade said seeing that the two were silent.
"I don't know…I'm babbling but yes I do know one thing. I am completely smitten over a certain ferret." she said and they laughed.
Draco walked to the Ministers office and saw the Minister himself sitting there as if he was expecting him.
"Sir." Draco greeted and Dumbledore got up and offered Draco a seat.
"Auror Malfoy, how do you do today?" he asked and Draco sat down.
"Quite fine. Sir, I had a message about the court finally processing the files that I sent because on August 7, Harry Potter attacked her." Draco said and Dumbledore nodded.
"The first case is tomorrow Auror Malfoy. Here is the time you, Mrs. Potter and Zaara Potter should be present as well as other witnesses." Dumbledore said and Draco nodded getting up.
"What does Potter have to say about this?" Draco asked.
"I think you should ask Mr. Potter himself." Dumbledore said as the door opened revealing Harry.
"Min-" Harry stopped seeing Draco. "Well hello Auror Malfoy." Harry said and Draco tried his best to not kill him.
"Potter…it's ridiculous to see you out and about." Draco said turning to Dumbledore who observed them intently.
"I think not. It's just ridiculous to see my wife cheating on me with another man so this case is a scheme to trap me." Harry said and Draco stiffened up.
"Well Potter, I'm not such a spoiler like you are so I'll keep the suspense till tomorrow. Good day." Draco said taking his papers and leaving. Draco had to stop in his office and send a few papers out and talk over a few cases with his Auror mates.
"No Blaise, I had Ron to help me with those wannabe Death Eaters in Malaysia. It wasn't…Xavier." Draco said pointing to his notes.
"Oh…that's why we had such confusion. Ron's hours were going to be cut and sent right to Xavier." Blaise said and Draco smirked.
"Check the rest and confirm it with me later." Draco said hearing someone call him.
"Oh…Potter…why is he calling you? I thought you had him ready to be sent to Azkaban?" Blaise said and Draco nodded turning to Potter.
"What?" Draco asked and Potter spoke up with his eyes narrowed.
"Malfoy stay out of my family. Jade and Zaara are mine. Don't even think about wanting to send me to Azkaban because I'll come out and come after you. You don't know me." he said and Draco clenched his teeth and came closer to his face.
"You obviously forgot who I am because I am not afraid of any threats made by anyone…especially scar head. If you get out from Azkaban, I'll be waiting. Besides, what can you actually do to me? I have more power and authority in this Wizarding World than you. I don't give a rat's arse if you killed Voldemort or not, you won't finish me off. As for Jade and Zaara, they both are my responsibility so back off because you're finished for them." he said backing off seeing Harry fuming.
"Physically I'll kick your sorry arse into yesteryear and I can see that I still can get you mentally. If you challenge me into a duel…you might as well carve the bullshit sayings on your grave now because you won't find anyone else." Draco said turning towards Blaise. "I'll see you later on tomorrow Blaise." Draco said and Blaise nodded.
"If Weasley and her daughter are with you, tell them that I would want to meet them." Blaise said seeing Harry shoot daggers from his eyes.
"Yeah, she would like that." Draco said.
"Ah, bring Ron also…I need to clear things." Blaise informed Draco.
"Oh he'll be here." Draco said leaving giving one last look towards Harry.
Draco apparated off back to the Burrow and realized he was really hungry and smelled the freshly made bread in the air. He knocked on the door and saw Hermione open it.
"Hey Draco." she said.
"Hi. Did anything happen?" Draco asked and Hermione shook her head smiling.
"Ron's here so he'll eat any danger walking around." Hermione joked and Draco chuckled. "What did you find out about the case tomorrow?" Hermione asked as they walked to the living room.
"Just that it's at noon tomorrow…that's it. I met Potter on the way." he said hearing Ron and Jade arguing in the kitchen.
"What did he say?" Hermione asked.
"That this arrest was a scheme to trap him because Jade and I were having an affair." Draco said and Hermione gasped.
"What kind of a man is he? That hypocrite! He had an affair with his mistress for all those years behind Jade's back, especially when he had a child with him! He's so low and disgusting…" Hermione said and Draco looked at her surprised.
"He cheated on her? Why?" Draco asked and Hermione shrugged feeling herself start crying.
"Why would anyone cheat on Jade? I don't think I'm the right person to tell you because Jade doesn't want anyone to know all the horrible things Harry did to her. I don't think I would have survived if it was me in Jade's place. If you found out the things he did to her right now, in a heartbeat, you would be cutting up Harry into little tiny pieces. Jade practically begged Ron the day she ran away from Harry. But things have changed and I'm so happy that she's smiling for once thanks to you." Hermione said.
"I want her to be happy." Draco said and Hermione smiled thanking him.
"So what happened in the Ministry Draco?" Jade asked as they took some bread in the living room. Draco stood in the kitchen with Jade as she poured the tomato sauce in a bowl.
"Tomorrow at 12." he said simply not wanting to upset her by the rest of the things.
"That's it? You spent 3 hours there just to hear the time?" Jade asked and Draco looked stuck.
"I had some work I had to finish and clear at the office." he said and Jade smiled and nodded feeling him hug her from behind. She left the bowl on the counter and felt him kiss her neck. She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I missed you." Jade said and he gave her a small smile.
"Me too." he said kissing her. He felt his way to her hands and weaved his fingers through hers. He gave her a final kiss and placed another kiss on her hands. "I'm here for you…just know that." he said.
"Is the snogging session done?" Ron asked from the living room.
"We were just waiting to know if it's safe to come back in the living room!" Jade yelled back grinning and hugging Draco who grinned back.
"I'll let you know when I decide to put my pants back on." Ron shouted.
"Let's go back into the living room." Jade said kissing Draco and grabbing the sauce bowl. "Zaara! Dean! Come downstairs." Jade yelled. They both heard children running above them, to the side and down the stairs.
"DRACO!" Dean and Zaara yelled.
"Uh OH!" Draco said as they launched themselves on him. Draco made a sound and stumbled trying to balance himself and the kids.
"Well…aren't we all happy to see Draco?" Draco asked as they hugged him tightly. "Where are the others?" Draco asked carrying the children and walked back with Jade.
"Oh they had to leave and Mum, Dad, Gin and Jay went with Bill and Fleur. Everyone wanted to see you but I told them you had to leave for the Ministry so they said bye." Jade said and he nodded.
"Oh…that's really nice of them." he said sitting down.
"So all of us are going to the hearing tomorrow…to also testify right?" Ron asked and Draco nodded.
"It's a must because I have a feeling that Potter's going to lie." Draco said seeing the wisp of hot air steaming from the bread.
"Why would you think that?" Ron asked and Draco looked up.
"I've had some forewarnings." he said and Jade narrowed her eyes.
"You met Harry today didn't you?" Jade asked feeling anger bubbling inside of her.
"More like he met me…but it doesn't matter." Draco said and Jade sighed.
"Do you think I can also file a divorce? I don't want anything to do with him anymore." Jade said and everyone stood silent.
"Sure but it'll be tough because Potter won't want it." Ron said.
"Whatever it takes. The things he's done to me since…" Jade said not feeling hungry anymore. Everyone was silent and didn't know what they should say because the situation was delicate and uncomfortable.
"So anyone want lemonade?" Jade asked getting up and they nodded looking at each other.
"Lemonade would be excellent. Let me help you." Hermione said but Jade insisted that she would relax but Hermione shook her head forcing Jade and herself to go. Hermione and Jade chatted as Ron and Draco discussed about Harry and their work.
"I saved you by correcting Blaise about your hours." Draco said and he told Ron about the mix-up.
"Really?" he was cut off by the doorbell and he got up to get it.
"Yeah I'll see what the girls are up to." Draco said carrying Zaara and Dean off to the kitchen. "How long does it take to make a bloody lemonade?" Draco asked and Jade made a motion to hit him for using the language in front of children.
"Bloody lemonade? It's not bloody at all." Zaara said innocently and Draco grinned taking her hand.
"EWW! Zaara! That means blood is in it!" Dean said and Jade, Hermione and Draco burst into laughter.
"Really?" Zaara asked.
"No! Draco was being stupid. Right?" Jade asked and he raised an eyebrow, slowly walking to her.
"You called me stupid?" he asked.
"Maybe…what are you going to do about it?" Jade asked kissing him.
"Oh stop fooling around you two." Hermione said.
"Umm Jade." Ron said and Jade broke off the kiss and turned to Ron who was standing next to Harry.
