Authors Notes: My final chapter of Dirty Work! I wasn't planning on it, but I figured I could use it to give my upcoming story some advertisement at the end. Plus, I couldn't just leave the last chapter with Hermione telling Draco yes! So, read on and find out what's happened!

'Dirty Work'

Epilogue

This park was a usual place for Hermione now. She'd been here almost everday of the week, and the routine was stuck in her mind. First the swings, then the slide, and then the sand box. She sat on a bench, wondering how anything such as seeing children playing in a park could make her so happy. Other than her husband of course.

Two kids chattered animatedly, a boy and a girl, on the swings, they're feet too short to touch the ground, though big enough to go on the real swings, and not the petty baby ones. One had dark, brown hair, and green eyes. The other was to Hermione's surprise when she first saw the little thing, a brown haired, curly beauty, with warm, grey eyes. She watched them closely.

"Hey there," someone greeted Hermione from behind the bench. She didn't even have to turn around. The person wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her playfully on the ear. "How's my favourite wife?"

"Your only wife," Hermione muttered humorously, as she turned around to face him, "and I'm doing just fine."

Draco followed her gaze after she gave him a peck on the cheek. He found the two children on the swings as well after searching.

"Think they're cute, huh?"

"Amazingly cute," Hermione said positively.

Her husband smirked. By now he had taken up a seat next to her on the bench, and found her hand. His fingers curled themselves around hers softly, and Hermione's hand tingled.

"...Do you want one?" he asked her with uncertainty.

Hermione was shocked. "So soon?"

Draco scoffed.

"So soon? It's been two years."

"Two years or not, you're not the one that has to go into labour," Hermione said, sounding testy.

"You're not getting lonely?" he asked her.

"Never. Especially with you as my husband," she teased lightly.

Draco pulled her up as he stood and embraced her in a hug.

"We'll have one of those one day, you know."

"A boy," Hermione stated.

"Yes, a boy," Draco agreed, looking back to the girl with grey eyes. He sighed. "You're right. They are cute."

"You didn't think they were cute?" Hermione asked, completely appalled.

"They were more adorable to me than anything," Draco answered expertly. By now he'd found out how to stay on her good side.

"Good," Hermione said, smiling.

Together, they watched the kids swing back and forth, not knowing how to pump properly to get higher in the air. They were laughing and teasing each other, talking about how much higher one was than the other, or how much better they're form was. They were smart for two year olds too, knowing words like that.

As Hermione and Draco stood, Harry came walking into the park, glancing at the kids and smiling, and then making his way to his long time best friend. He was much more handsome than he was two years ago. His hair finally became neat, and he wasn't so much the brooding type. He had changed very drastically after Hermione had decided to leave him, and it was because he too, had found someone else.

"Hi guys," he greeted warmly. Hermione and Draco parted. She went up to Harry and gave him a bear hug, and Draco nodded his head in greeting. They smiled at one another.

"Where's Ginny?" Hermione questioned, looking beyond Harry, to see if she was trailing somewhere behind.

"At the house," Harry said, pointing a thumb behind him, "she forgot halfway here to bring Gavin's lunch." Hermione laughed, while Harry peeked another look at the kids.

"How's the spying going?" He teased.

"It's not so much... spying. Babysitting, more like," Draco said promptly.

Harry laughed, just when Ginny popped up right beside him.

"Gin!" Hermione said, taking the things in her hands. It looked like she brought a whole picnic of food with her.

"Hey," she said breathlessly. "I'm sorry to be so late. Ron and Parvati are on their way with Rhett. I popped into their fireplace before leaving just to make sure they were coming, and I found Dean was at the house with them."

Harry looked at her incredulously and Hermione had to stifle a laugh.

"Dean, my friend? Dean, your ex?"

Ginny slapped Harry across the head, and kissed him on the cheek after doing so, in apology.

"Yes, and now my affair with him is no longer a secret," she joked, making Hermione laugh very hard. The boys looked at them with no humour in their eyes, but with sarcasm.

"Oh, you married men get less fun by the minute," Ginny commented, after her and Hermione had finished laughing. And just as they did, Ron and Parvati came right one cue, a little boy straddling Parvati's waist.

"We're here," Ron announced, taking a look at the surroundings.

"Hey you two," Hermione said, taking the boy from Parvati's arms after smiling at her.

"Me play!" Rhett whined, once Hermione swept him up in her arms.

"Give Aunt 'Mione a kiss first," Parvati said sternly.

Rhett pouted, but kissed Hermione on the cheek anyways. He pushed himself off her after doing so, and added a quick "Bye Aun't Mione," before he trotted off. He joined the two kids at the swings, who were surprised to see him there. They let him play with them no less.

"Are we ready for a picnic or what?" Ron said, holding up a bottle of wine he had in his hands.

"You brought wine?" Hermione scolded.

"For the kids, of course," Ron teased. Hermione slapped him on the arm.

The group began walking together in their designated pairs, to a grassy area of the park, where they were still in view of Rhett and the other two children. They set up the picnic blanket and food, as they chattered happily.

"Rhett's growing up real fast," Ginny said, raising her eyebrows at Ron's son.

"He eats just like his father," Parvati said while rolling her eyes. This earned her a glare from Ron.

"Are you planning on another one?" Hermione asked, when Ron had went away to join Harry and Draco, who were off on their own, probably gossiping about the girls as they were about them.

Parvati winked.

"The question is, are you planning on one?"

Hermione laughed. "Draco wants one, but it's terribly soon."

"Two years isn't soon, Hermione."

"You sound just like Draco," she commented. Ginny laughed.

"Well Harry and I are going steadily fine with just one."

They all three smiled at each other.

"So are we ready to eat or what?" The boys asked hungrily.

"Almost," Hermione said, while taking out some more plates.

"Call the kid over, will you?" Parvati asked Draco.

"Rhett!" Draco yelled with his hands cupped over his mouth. "Picnic time!"

He looked up, and smiled. "Eat time!"

He left the swing quickly, and sprinted his way to the group of parents who awaited him. The two children he was with followed as well, and Hermione laughed at them.

"I guess he's not the only one that's hungry."

"Gavin! Bring Daphne along with you!" Harry yelled to the boy that followed Rhett, leaving the girl behind. She stumbled her way there, carrying childrens books along with her. The dark haired boy with green eyes, Harry's son, waited for her and picked up her books. Daphne smiled, and beamed at the sight of her mother awaiting her.

"Mum!" she said in sing song voice. Hermione's heart swelled.

"Daphne hurry, you haven't eaten in a while."

"Yes, Mummy, in a moment." She fell to the ground and picked up her books, earning an "aw," from Ginny and Parvati.

"It's hard to believe she's only two but knows how to say 'in a moment.' What have you been teaching your girl?" Ginny exclaimed.

"Two years is too soon?" Draco questioned behind her. Hermione stuck out her tongue.

"She's not ready for a brother yet," Hermione said.

Draco laughed, and covered the distance between him and his daughter. He scooped her up in his arms and twirled her, carrying her back to the group with her sitting on his neck.

"Eat time, people!" he told the kids. They yelled. They were in their own form, a Harry, Ron and Hermione. Best friends already, and after only two years of knowing each other.

They piled food onto their plates hungrily, getting scoldings from their mothers to be polite. They chuckled and continued, their fathers only laughing at them.

"When we're done, how about we play some Quidditch?" Harry suggested to the kids. Rhett and Gavin beamed with delight.

"Kidditch! Kidditch!"

"Want to join us, Daphne?"

Daphne shook her head shyly and propped herself in front of a book. Hermione laughed so hard she was surprised she could swallow her food. Her daughter was much too much like her. She had her looks and her personality. It was no wonder Draco wanted a boy, so that at least someone could carry on the Malfoy genes.

"No, my daughter prefers to be safe and submerged in knowledge," Draco said proudly, while kissing her on the forehead. She smiled a toothy grin.

"Next time," Harry said, while tickling her. She chuckled and rolled around, bumping into Rhett and Gavin, who joined in on the rolling.

"Aren't we such the corny family?" Ginny said, looking around at their husbands, who were taking out broomsticks and the quidditch balls, and their children who played merrily with one another on the grass.

"Corny indeed," Parvati said, with a slight grin to her.

"After everything that's happened, Ron and sis-in-law getting married, Hermione cheating on Harry with Draco, and me breaking it off with Dean to pursue Harry - who could have honestly predicted this in the future?"

They were silent.

"Picture!" someone interrupted. They sighed, glad they didn't have to answer the question. When Ginny said it like that, they were a messed up family just as much as they were a corny family.

They arranged themselves in a clustered group, the men to the left behind their wives, the wives in front to the right of their man, and the children at their feet. Ron set up the camera and hurriedly set himself up before the flash came.

"Ach-oo," Ginny said.

The camera clicked, taking a picture of all of them laughing together, clutching at their stomachs.

They stayed that way for a while.

"So after we go home and put Daph in bed, what do you say we try for a boy?" Draco whispered in Hermione's ear, while everyone else continued to laugh.

"It's only been two years after Daphne. Too soon," Hermione retracted.

Draco nuzzled the side of her head, his breath leaving a tinkling feeling to her ear. Hermione wasn't good at resisting her husband's touch very much. Not at all in fact.

Everyone parted and went back to their things, the boys to their quidditch, the girls to their gossip.

And to everyone's surprise, Draco scooped Hermione up in his arms, and walked away, Hermione caught off guard with a grin and Draco smirking like a fool.

"We'll see about that."

And the camera clicked once more.

I, the Author and Owner of Dirty Work, hereby announce,

The End.

A/N: Boy, That was tough. I didn't want to let go of this, but I needed some closure and now I've got it! Hope you guys liked it! FYI, this was purposefully short. Supposed to be short and sweet x.

I've got another story in mind, and I think it's pretty great. My sister read it over for me and she likes it a lot. She likes it more than Dirty Work, which surprised me, because I can't picture anyone loving anything more than Dirty Work. Here's the summary I have for my upcoming story. It's called:

When You Lose Your Way

Summary: "Granger, what's wrong?" I asked in worry. "What's in your hand?" And something struck me. "Have you been vomiting again?" She said nothing. She did nothing... except hold up her shaking palm, her fingers wrapped tightly around a very blue pregnancy test.

A/N Con't: Haha, it's rather short, I know, but it's a sort of story I haven't done before! Humour mixed with angst, I suppose. I don't know, really. You tell me when I finally post it! It'll be soon, I hope!

Thank you all so much for your continued support in this story. I've read and cherished each and every review I've got, and I love them all!

Keep a look out for me! I'll not be gone for long :).

Yours forever,
Sevengee/Lina.
