"Over here!" Ginny heard as her and Greg entered the Three Broomsticks. Draco, Hermione, Theo, Luna, Blaise, and Parvati were all at the group of tables Madam Rosmerta pushed together to fit them all.

"Where are Pansy and Longbottom ?" Greg asked as he held Ginny's chair out for her.

"Pansy was still waiting at Malkins for her new dress robes. They should be here in a few minutes. Luckily, they already told us what to order them so we can at least put in that." Theo said as he twirled a lock of Luna's hair around his finger.

The couple did show up just as the food was arriving and sat. "Oh gosh! I'm famished! Thanks for ordering guys! Lunch is on me!" Pansy said with a giggle. They were just finishing up when Theo stood with Luna.

"Ahem, guys, we have some news." Luna held out her hand where a yellow diamond surrounded by sapphires sat on her left hand. "We're getting married!" Everyone looked at them in shock. "What?" Theo asked annoyed.

"Sorry, um, congratulations you guys! It's just a bit sudden, but I guess when you know, you know right?" Blaise stood up and hugged his best mate and Luna. Everyone else followed and soon all shock and confusion was replaced with smiles, cheers, and laughter.

Dear Ginny,

Mum and I received your Owl. If you are happy with the Goyle boy, then we are open to meeting him during the holidays if you are still together. I ran into Harry at the Ministry and he sends his regards. I so do wish you couldhave made things work with him, but it looks like you're both moving on. Mum will come around eventually. We love you!

All our love

Ginny sighed as she crumpled up the letter from her parents. They really didn't understand how happy Greg made her, but they would soon.

It had been a month since they started dating and boy did she want to shag his brains out, but every time they got close, he stopped it. Luna and Hermione told her to be patient. "Maybe he's a virgin, Ginny. You never know. I don't remember him ever seriously dating anyone until you." Hermione reasoned with her one night.

Ginny decided to change the subject. "Anyway, Mum and dad want to meet him. I don't think they believe I am serious about him. George, so far, is the most supportive of this relationship. He wrote me immediately after getting my Owl, Mi. Immediately. Mum and dad? Honestly, I wrote weeks ago and they are just responding with six lines?" She sighed then flopped down on her bed with Hermione snickering.

"Oh, Gin. Once they meet Greg, they will come around. Just one look at him and the way he looks at you with such reverence, their hearts will melt. It's quite sickening honestly." Hermione feigned indifference.

Ginny threw her pillow at her friend, "Fuck off you hypocrite! Like you and Malfoy are any different. Has he begged you to marry him yet? Going to do a double wedding with Luna and Theo?" The ginger girl said wiggling her eyebrows. They both fell into a fit of giggles.

"She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies; and all that's best of dark and bright..." Blaise read the book of poems out loud as Parvatirested on his chest. She was sure she was falling deeply in love with the Italian wizard. He held her close to him as she stroked his naked chest, his other hand holding the book that he'd found on their groups first excursion to the Muggle world last weekend.

"I liked that one, Blaise. Who wrote it?" She asked as she tilted her head up to look at him.

"Lord Byron. Must have been muggle royalty or something. Yeah, that one is definitely a keeper." He magically bookmarked the page and closed the book. He'd been nervous the whole day. He had to ask her about her Yule plans. His mother, the meddlesome witch had somehow found out that he was dating the witch currently in his arms.

He recalled her words:

"And to my surprise, after not hearing from my son at all since his return to school, I get an anonymous Owl that says he's dating a half-blood witch! How will we ever show our faces in Pureblood society if my friends catch wind of this dalliance of yours!"

It had him seething in anger, but he held it in around her. He'd written back of course. He'd told his mother that he was finally happy in life and in love with Parvati. That if she ever loved him at all, she would support his choices in life, Pureblood society be damned!

She'd responded with respect for his choice. She promised to be supportive and wanted to meet the young lady that had stolen her son's heart. Well, Melina Zabini was a witch with seven dead husband, not very pragmatic indeed but willing to set her feelings aside for her son.

"My love?" He said breaking the silence.

"Hmm?"

"My mother wishes to meet you." He felt her stiffen under his arm.

"Ooookay, when?" She asked, her voice weary.

"Yule." He simply answered.

"My parents wish to meet you as well. Padma told them about you in her last letter. Then mum reprimanded me in a letter about keeping secrets. They thought I would want an arranged marriage like my cousin, Pria. Um, no thanks. That husband of hers is such a wanker!" Blaise chuckled then rolled them over in his bed, settling back between her legs which she wrapped around his waist.

"Mmm, yes. I will marry you one day, my love. I already told my mother. I don't give a shit about marrying some prissy Pureblood when I'm in love with my prissy Half-Blood." He said jokingly as he rested his forehead against hers.

Parvati smiled brightly at him and pulled him closer as she kissed him. "And I'm in love with you, too." They made love as the sun set, falling asleep soon after to the annoyance of Theo whom couldn't get into the dorm to sleep himself since they forgot to unward the door.

"Mr. Malfoy?" Draco was reading in the library when the Headmistress found him.

"Yes, Headmistress?" The witch looked at him with a pinched expression. Was she annoyed? Was she angry? That Resting Bitch Face of hers was totally confusing.

"Your mother has Owl'd me that she wishes to meet with you and Miss Granger. She says that she has sent you, her son, numerous Owls with no response. Very unlike you, Mr. Malfoy. She will be arriving shortly after dinner tonight. Find Miss Granger and let her know that you and her will be in my office at 7pm sharp." With that, she turned her heel and vanished.

Draco sighed and shut his book. He gathered his bag then, after slinging it over his shoulder, went in search of his witch.

Pansy was smiling to herself as she watched her fiancé work in Greenhouse Four. Never in a million years would she have thought that she would ever feel so smitten, and with Neville Franklin Longbottom at that! He looked up from repotting his most prized plant, his Mimbulus mimbletonia, and smiled.

"What are you doing over there, my sweet?" He loved her so much. Soon they would be wed. Just eight more months.

"Just thinking about eight months from now. Nev, we are getting married. If you had told me two years ago that I would be head over heels in love with you, I'd have taken you straight to Madam Pomfrey. But, here we are. I just love you so much. So much that I am spending the day in a Greenhouse with my hair up in a sodding ponytail." The pair laughed together as Neville finished up and did a quick scourgify to clean himself up.

He picked her up and placed her on a clean workstation. He took her head in his hands and started to kiss her. Pansy wrapped her legs around him and started grinding up against his hardening member. "Mmm, Pans. I want to fuck you right here." Pansy loved when he spoke dirty, he knew that. She moaned against his mouth as he deepened the kiss, pulling her skirt up. "You dirty girl, no panties?" Pansy giggled as she unbuckled Neville's trousers. Minutes later, they were naked from the waist down fucking hard on the table when a gasp was heard.

"I'm sorry!" A second year Hufflepuff was standing in the doorway, his eyes bulging out of his head. Then, the door slammed shut. They were frozen in place.

"That poor kid! He's going to be scarred for years." Pansy joked.

Neville, on the other hand, was panicking. He quickly cleaned up and headed out to find the kid. "Hey! Are you seriously going to leave me here while you try to calm down some damn kid?" Pansy shouted, a bit angry over not getting to finish what was turning out to be the best sex of her life.

"Pansy! I need to find him! If he tells, oh Merlin, if he tells and it gets out then I could lose my apprenticeship and my future job!" She hadn't even thought about that.

"I'll help you!" She took his hand and they searched together.

"Whoa there, kid! Where's the fire?" Theo asked as a young Hufflepuff almost ran him over on his way to Ravenclaw Tower.

"Sorry, sir." The kid stopped to catch his breath. "I've just seen something I shouldn't have and I'm running for my life here." Theo chuckled at the boy.

"Are you in danger? Who is after you?" He said in mock concern.

"Neville Longbottom and Pansy Parkinson. I caught them having," the boy looked around then whispered, "sex in Greenhouse Four. They looked very angry. I just ran for it." Theo bellowed a deep laugh.

"Oh kid, you definitely need to run if you interrupted that! " Theo took the boy by his shoulder, turning serious. "You cannot tell anyone what you saw today, you understand? Neville starts his apprenticeship soon and he will be your Herbology professor next year. We can use this to your advantage, you know? Good marks in return for your silence, yeah?"

The boy looked aghast, "I would never spread gossip, sir. And I wouldn't need help in that class. Professor Sprout says I'm a natural. Just, can you stop Miss Parkinson from Avada-ing me? That'd be great!" Theo side-hugged the kid to him.

Just then the two lovebirds came around h the d corner, "Hey, kid! Oh, Theo, what are you doing here?" Pansy asked, looking worried.

"Don't worry guys," he looked at the boy and asked what his name was.

"Jacob Hegemony."

"Yes, sorry, Jacob here isn't going to say anything to anyone about what he saw. Right, Jacob?"

Jacob nodded and looked apologetically at Pansy and Neville. They both relaxed and thanked the young wizard. "I'm looking forward to your tutelage next year Mr. Longbottom. Thanks for not killing me ma'am." He said to Pansy before smiling then skipped off.

"I think he's got a crush, Pans. I'm sure you two gave him wank material to last him years." Theo laughed then continued his path to Luna's dorm as his friends glared at him.

Luna was feeling nauseous and dizzy. She couldn't get out of bed without the room spinning. Her roommates Lisa and Padma were chatting as Luna attempted to stand for the bathroom.

THUMP*

They turned and gasped, "Luna! Oh my goodness! Lisa! Get someone! Madam Pomfrey! Professor Flitwick! Anyone!" The blonde was paler than normal and a cold sweat had broken out on her brow. "Luna? It's Padma. Can you hear me?" She remembered from the first aid classes she took a couple years ago to check her pulse and not to move her too much. Her pulse was strong, so she wasn't sure why the girl had fainted dead away.

"Miss Patil, let me levitate Miss Lovegood to the infirmary." She heard Professor Flitwick say so she moved away from her roommate. Luna moaned weakly as she floated through the tower,

"Luna! What happened to my fiancé?" Theo had just made it to the corridor when his heart stopped at the sight of Luna being levitated by their Charms Professor.

"She fainted, Mr. Nott. You can follow us to Madam Pomfrey." The short wizard said in exasperation. Theo did just that, opening the door to the infirmary as they arrived. "Poppy! Miss Lovegood here has fainted. Which bed?" Flitwick was shown to the second bed and laid her down. Theo rushed to her side.

"I'm here, babydoll. Your Theo is right here." He said in a gentle voice. Pomfrey came over and asked him to step away for a moment while she checked on her. Tears streaming down his face, he didn't even care if anyone saw him like this.

A few minutes went by and she called him back in. "Sit here, Mr. Nott. I must have a discussion with you." Theo sat then looked at the witch anxiously. "Mr. Nott? You and Miss Lovegood are engaged?" He nodded his head. "And when are the nuptials to take place?"

Theo sniffled then answered, "We are having a small ceremony at Yule, Miss." She smiled at him.

"Mr. Nott, what I am about to tell you may come as a shock, but you and Miss Lovegood are going to be parents. I ran the test and scanned her twice to be sure. There are currently two babies growing inside of her and taking up her energy and magic, so I would like to keep her in bed rest for a few days until all of the potions start to give her her strength back."

Theo held Luna's hand as tears steamed down his face. He smiled down at her tummy as Madam Pomfrey placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Twins! They were having not one, but two babies! Life was already interesting, but soon it was going to be glorious.

News of Luna Lovegood's scary morning tumble made its way through the Hogwarts rumour-mill by lunch. By then there were two versions of the story, one where she fell down the stairs after a fight with Theo and the general consensus was that he hexed her and the other just that she fainted while getting ready for morning classes (the closest to the truth).

Seamus was in an uproar at the Gryffindor table, "Told you he was just like his da! Didn't I Dean? Now look! Luna's hospitalised!" Dean tried to calm his friend down but was having little success. Parvati was trying to ignore it as she waited for Ginny and Hermione to get there. Blaise had a meeting with Professor Vector, so she had nobody at the moment.

"Listen, Finnegan, and listen good!" Parvati's head turned at the sound of her sister's voice. Padma had her wand out and under his chin as Lisa Turpin smirked next to her. "Stop your nonsensical babbling and listen to me! Luna fainted this morning as she got out of bed! In our dorm, mind you! Lisa here got Flitwick, I stayed with her until he arrived then took her to the infirmary where her FIANCÉ saw her and looked as if his whole entire world had shattered! So stop with this death eater bullshit and take a damn seat!"

The entire hall was silent and the Headmistress and the teachers at the head table had their mouths agape in shock at the normally subdued Padma Patil taking charge and putting the Irishman in his place. Seamus sat quickly, his eyes wide, face flushed. Padma turned back and went to her table as the hall erupted into applause much to the delight of the Headmistress.

Parvati waited to hear if Seamus bad mouthed her twin, but almost burst out laughing when he said, "Fucking Hell. That was hot!" Dean playfully punched his best mate.

"You would find that arousing, you sick bastard!" They laughed and Seamus turned in his seat to eye up Padma over at the Ravenclaw table. Parvati just smiled to herself and shook her head.

"Theo?" Luna had finally awoken and saw her wizard sitting watching her.

"Morning sleepyhead." He said reverently. His eyes were shining with tears.

"What happened?" Theo let her know about her fainting spell then stopped after hearing Madam Pomfrey walking over.

"Ah, Miss Lovegood! You're awake! Did you need anything?" Luna had said that she was thirsty so the witch conjured a glass of water. "Now, did your fiancé here tell you why you are here?"

Luna finished her glass of water then cleared her throat and sat up a bit more in her cot. "He said that I had fainted. Why? I hadn't been feeling well. Am I ill?"

Theo took her hand and squeezed it gently. "Babydoll, we're expecting." Luna looked confused at first but then her eyes went wide and she smiled brightly at them.

"My dream! It makes sense now. Is the baby okay?"

"Babies, and yes. Your twins are just fine. They were using up all of your energy my dear, but now that you'll be on a daily regimen of potions, you'll be right as rain in a few days. But, like I told young Mr. Nott here. You are to stay in bed until the potions work through your system. Now, Mr. Nott, I was able to get the Headmistress to excuse you for the day. She is aware of the situation and an Owl has been sent to notify your father Miss Lovegood." She eyed them both then magicked the cot wider. "Go on, get in. No funny business." She smirked at them as she closed the curtains.

They held each other for a bit, stroking Luna's abdomen and whispering love to their growing children. It was all moving so fast, but like Blaise had said, when you knew, you knew and they knew they'd love each other and their children until their last breath.

Draco waited by the Gryffindor entrance for Hermione. He had decided to wear some black trousers with a light grey jumper to meet with his mother. He had told Hermione to wear anything she wanted, but really hoped she wore a dress or a skirt. If she had on denims to meet his mother officially, he thought he'd never hear the end of it. He relaxed at the sight of her.

Hermione was nervous as fuck. She had to have her nails regrown twice while getting ready because she kept biting them down to nubs. Ginny finally got her to chill out. They found an emerald green fitted dress that accentuated her slim waist then added the diamond earrings her parents bought her for her sixteenth birthday and a silver chain with the infinity symbol that Draco gifted her for their one month anniversary; a present she had told him was not necessary to which, of course, he scoffed at.

"You take my breath away every time I see you, Granger." Hermione smiled then did I little spin for him causing him to chuckle. "Come here." He commanded as she walked into his waiting arms.

"Don't crinkle my dress, Malfoy. I don't need to look manhandled when I meet your mother. She probably already hates me enough." She joked but he still felt a bit nauseous thinking of his mother dismissing her before even knowing her properly.

When they arrived at the stairs to the Headmistress's office, McGonagall was waiting for them. "I am going to give you the privacy of my office. I'm trusting you both to behave. Yea has been set out for you all. I will be back within the hour." She looked at them over her glasses.

"Yes, Headmistress." Draco bowed his head and Hermione nodded to the intimidating witch. They climbed the stairs then waited in their seats. At 7pm exactly, the floo roared to life and Narcissa Malfoy stepped through causing them to both rise.

"Mother," Draco stepped forward with Hermione following behind him waiting to be introduced,as Pansy instructed her. He kissed his mother's cheek then turned slightly to usher Hermione forward, "May I introduce my girlfriend, Hermione Granger?" Narcissa eyed her, looking pleased with her choice of attire.

"Yes, I am pleased to make your acquaintance Miss Granger." His mother stepped closer and Hermione took her hand.

"The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Malfoy. Draco has nothing but wonderful things to say about you. I have been looking forward to meeting the mother of such a brilliant wizard." Another tip from Pansy, praise Draco as if he is the air you need to survive. A real smile graced the witch's face, lighting it up.

"Oh! Why thank you, Miss Granger! Draco! You never told me how absolutely charming your witch was." Draco looked aghast, his mouth opening and closing like a fish trying to breathe out of water. "Let us sit and enjoy this tea Minerva was kind enough to set out for us, shall we?"

Draco couldn't believe his mother. She was either a very good actress, high on pixie dust, or actually changing her Pureblood ways and accepting his Muggleborn girlfriend! He had simply no words!

By the time they finished tea, his mother was putty in Hermione's hands. She had his mother giggling! Giggling! "And then here I am sitting in a girls lavatory with hair, whiskers, even a tail! I will never take Polyjuice ever again without knowing exactly what hair I am using! I was in the infirmary a whole week!" Even Draco was laughing heartily at the Second year polyjuice story.

"Blimey, Granger! How did you survive with those two dunderheads as best friends?" Hermione stuck her tongue at him.

"Hush you." He smiled at her as she fake pouted.

"Well, I don't know what I was so worried about Draco. You two are just adorable together. You must come to our villa in France for Yule, Miss Granger. It will be so beautiful at that time of year. We almost always have a white Christmas." Hermione smiled brightly then nodded.

"That sounds wonderful, Mrs. Malfoy. Thank you." Draco took her hand and brought to his mouth, placing a kiss on her knuckles and winking at her.

"Do you mind terribly if I have a few minutes before I leave to converse privately with Draco?" Hermione kissed the woman on both cheeks then said her goodbyes. As soon as the door closed, his mother sighed.

"Draco." His smile fell. 'Here we go!' He thought to himself. "She's lovely." He let go of the breath he hadn't noticed he was holding in. "I really didn't want to like her, damn it, but she is absolutely lovely. Your father is not going to be happy with me." Draco looked at her. "Oh don't look at me like that. I know you don't visit him at that place but I do monthly. He's still my husband." Draco sneered but then schooled his features.

"He has no say. I am Lord Malfoy now. He is serving a life sentence in Azkaban. We're lucky we only had to pay 5,000 galleons in reparations mother. It could have been way worse. Either way, the only opinion I care for is yours and Hermione's." His mother smirked at him. "What?" He asked as he watch her smirk turn into a full blown smile.

"My sweet boy, you're in love, aren't you. Truly?"

He smiled at that, "Mother, I have been in love with that witch since the moment I clapped eyes on her."

"Then make it official, my son. Make her yours forever."
