Astoria Malfoy (nee Greengrass) walked into large living room where she found her husband three years sitting on the couch sipping on a glass of whiskey. She slowly sat down next to Draco and gently played with his short blonde hair at the nape of his neck.
"Draco what's wrong? You barely ate lunch earlier and didn't touch dinner." said Astoria.
He sat his drink down on the table beside the couch and turned his body to face his wife. She had long brown hair past her shoulders, lightly toned skin, brown eyes and a slender woman figure that was shown off by her slick blue night gown.
"I received some news when I went to visit Father. I tried not to let it show in front of Scorpius and Leo." He took a deep breathe. "Father married Hermione Granger yesterday."
"Oh finally. They had admitted that they love each other, I swear those have been two-tip toeing around each other for years! I'm happy for them." said Astoria, and her brow frowned. "You're not happy about your father's marriage."
Draco shook his head. "It's not that love. I'm happy for Hermione and Father." He closed his eyes took a shaky breath and continued, "Hermione's sick. She has muggle cancer. Father wanted to take her care of her in her time of need."
Astoria gasped and covered her mouth in shock. She slowly lowered her hands from her mouth. "No, the boys love their Auntie Herm. Oh, Draco I'm so sorry."
She watched him struggle to hold back the tears. She pulled his head to her chest and ran her fingers through his blonde hair and buried his face into her chest and let the damn break. He wrapped his arms around his wife's waist sob.
"She's my best friend. Now she's fighting for life literally." He whispered. "She's was at my side the entire time during my trial and put up with Potter and the Weasely family insults and so much more!"
Astoria sighed heavily and kissed Draco on top of the head. She pulled back and cupped his face. "What do you need love?"
"A miracle to save Hermione." said Draco and snuggled up with his wife on the couch as she silently comforted him.

"Lucius, I don't need a diamond." Hermione said as they walked into the jewelry store and over to the case of diamond rings.
"Yes, you do. And only the best for you love." He said wrapping his arm around her waist. "Good morning Mr. Grant. I need to look at your diamond rings please." He told the man behind the counter.
"Lord Malfoy, yes of course. Only the best for you." Mr. Grant said and pulling out the rare diamonds and sat them down on the glass top and removed the glass lid.
Hermione sighed knowing she had lost the fight. She chewed on her bottom lip looking at all the rings. "I don't want anything too big." She said and carefully picked up a rose diamond. "Lucius it's beautiful."
He took the ring from his wife and gently took her left hand into his on and slowly slid the ring onto her hand that rested next to her gold wedding band. Hermione smiled at the ring. He turned to the Mr. Grant and said, "Charge my account. Lady Malfoy only gets the best you are the best."
Mr. Grant gasped at the news and quickly charged the large sum to his Gringotts's account. He smiled at the couple and watched them leave. Just as Rita Skeeter entered the store. She let her eyes widen at the scoop of the day. Lucius Malfoy married again but this time to muggle-born Hermione Granger, she quickly left the store to write her story.

The newly weds returned to Malfoy after eventful day. They had sent out notices to the employees informing them of them leaving for the week. They would return once the week was up to return to work. Lucius helped Hermione to the couch in the large sitting room as Tilly prepared for them to leave tomorrow.
Hermione laid her head back on the couch in exhaustion. She hissed at the pain in her leg when she hit it on the nearby table. She grabbed her leg. She couldn't help but notice how quickly bruise took over the front of her shin.
"Darling, it's all right." Lucius said as he summoned the bruised paste with a flick of his wand. He gently scooped it out and laid her leg down on his lap. "This will help."
"I'm so exhausted." She whispered. "Maybe going to the stores today was a bad idea."
"You needed to get out for a little while get your mind off of things." said Lucius as he watched the bruise slowly turn into a yellow color. "We will just lay around the villa. I know Prophet will get wind of our marriage. I planned it that way so whatever is written will be while we gone." She only nodded her head and moved and laid her head down on Lucius's shoulder. "Have you thought more on the treatment?"
She nodded her head. "Yes. I'll give it a try. I know Ginny and Severus are head of the research. I trust them. I'll contact Healer Hellen when we get back from our trip."
He nodded his head held his wife close as he watched her slowly fall asleep. He pulled the blanket from off the couch and covered Hermione's thin frame. He looked up to ceiling and closed his eyes saying a silent prayer.

Harry Potter sat down the dinning room table with his morning cup of tea. He flipped open his morning edition of The Daily Prophet. He spit his tea out as he read the headline.
New Lady Malfoy!
You heard that right dear readers! Lord Lucius Malfoy has finally married again to one Hermione Granger in a quick and quite ceremony. The couple was seen by me leaving the Grant Jewels. Mr. Grant conformed that Lucius and Hermione married. I did a little digging around at the Marriage Affairs Office. The couple wed only a couple of days ago.
Hermione Malfoy (nee Granger) vouched for her new husband several years back that kept Lucius and Draco Malfoy from spending time in Azkaban. She started working at Malfoy Law office soon after graduation.
We are all wanting to know the love story between these two highly public wizarding figures of our world. This reporter truly wishes them the best of luck in their marriage.
Harry thew down the paper in anger. He couldn't believe that Hermione would marry that Death Eater. Ginny his ex-girl friend had married Snape of all people last year. Now Hermione had married him! He shook his head and left Grimmauld Place to the auror's office. He had just promoted to Head Auror. He had no wife, no girl friend he lived alone. Ron was traveling with quidditch team. He only saw Ron when he was in town. If only Hermione hadn't changed or stood up for Malfoy. He would have his best friend living with him instead of him living alone. Hell, even Snape had a wife!
LM/HG
Hermione and Lucius appeared in the sitting room the Tuscany villa. He wrapped his arms around his wife and gently captured her lips with his own. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. He swept her up into his arms and carried her up the stairs to the master bedroom.
He gently laid Hermione onto the large bed and slowly undressed her and thew the clothes to the floor and ran his hands gently over her nude body. He gently touched the bruise that rested on her left hip. He knew that she bumped into the vanity earlier that morning. He kissed it gently as slowly undressed and laid supporting his wait with his arms over his wife. He captured her lips gently fingered her woman folds.
"You are so beautiful." He whispered as he moved his fingers into her hot core.
"I'm covered in bruises. I'm anything but beautiful." She replied.
Lucius slowly slid his member into her wet center and groaned at feeling of home. He slowly rocked his hips sliding in and out. "You are always beautiful to me, no matter what happens."
Hermione blinked away the tears that threaten to fall down her cheeks. She knew he meant ever word. She squeezed his butt bringing him closer as she rocked her hips meeting his long thrusts.
"Lucius," she moaned as he kissed and gently sucked her neck.
"Yes, my love?"
"Before I start my treatments," she moaned when he captured her right nipple into his mouth. "I want to save some of my eggs."
He pulled back from sucking her nipple as he slowly thrusted into her body. "What eggs?" He shifted his angle causing her to gasp.
"Lucius your hands they feel so good. You feel so good." Hermione moaned arched her back slightly. "For a baby. Muggle's save the woman's embryos for later or have stargate. I don't want to lose my chances of being a mother. It's just in case."
He slowly moved Hermione's right leg over his shoulder causing her moan loudly at the new angle. He fingered her nub. "Anything you want Hermione, and if you want to save them, we can." He turned his head and kissed her long leg.
She lowered her leg and he shifted them up on their knees and slid out his member and slid back into her body. She thew her head back moaned rocking her hips meeting his thrusts hard.
"Lucius I'm coming!" she moaned. She picked up her pace. "Yes."
Lucius watched as his beautiful wife shuttered coming undone in his arms. He shuttered sending his seed deep into her womb. He caught his wife and slowly laid them down on the mattress and pulled her into his arms as they tried to catch their breathes.
"Thank you, Lucius." She whispered and closed her eyes.
He kissed the top of her head as she slowly fell asleep. He buried his face into her brown curls and breathed in her scent. He silently let the tears fall into her hair, he couldn't lose the love of his life.
The week went by too quickly in Tuscany. They had sat on the baloney drank wine and endless amount of love making. They soon found themselves back at Malfoy manor. Reality was about to hit them both.

Lucius and Hermione sat in front of Healer Hellen. She smiled at the couple and grabbed Hermione Granger's file and changed the last name to Malfoy. She sat back in her chair.
"So, just so you know that this treatment is still experimental and it doesn't come with any grantees that it will work for your case Mrs. Malfoy." Grace told the couple. They nodded their heads. "The studies with those of cancer we that was caught early showed great signs of recovery. Mrs. Malfoy your cancer has been eating away at you for two years."
Hermione nodded her head. "I know I should have come sooner. It's my fault." She took a deep breathe, "My life span without the treatment?"
"One to two years." The healer said. "With the treatments possibility of longer or even in remission. We want know until we try it."
Lucius grabbed his wife's hand and ran his thumb over her rings. He nodded his head.
"Ok. We can try the treatment." Hermione said.
Grace smiled, "Wonderful."
"But before we start the treatment. I don't want to lose my chances of being a mother. Is their any way for me to save some of embryos? I won't know what this treatment will do to my body." Hermione told her.
"Oh, yes we can do that for you. We have several women that do that before treatment." Grace told the couple. "I swear muggles are smart when it comes to this stuff. Since we have teamed up with several different doctors our practices have changed a lot over the last several years." She pushed a button by her desk and the door opened revealing Ginny Snape. "Madame Snape, Mrs. Malfoy has agreed to the treatment. She wishes to save some of eggs for later date."
Ginny gave her best friend a smile and nodded her head. She took Hermione's hand into her own. "I'm glad you're going to fight this Hermione, and we'll take good care of you. We can start your treatment tomorrow. We'll save your eggs today. It's best to start this soon as possible." Ginny helped Hermione from her seat. "I'll take good care of her Lucius," and the women left Grace's office.
"What are the side effects of treatment?" asked Lucius.
"Mrs. Malfoy will receive a stronger dose of treatments. They will be given to her by a muggle I.V. so it can target all the cancer cells. She will get sick to stomach, some pain and few other things might happen during treatment. It's wise to not eat before treatment. At least 12 hours of no food or any drinks."
He nodded his head. "Thank you." He closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Hermione laid on the hospital bed dressed in a gown. She took a deep breath as Ginny positioned her feet. She pointed her wand at Hermione's stomach slowly bringing the eggs from stomach and out of body and into a long slender tube.
"There all done Mione." Ginny said. "I was able to save only four from your body. They look like good ones." She cast a charm of them and labeled her name on the front.
Hermione sat up and wrapped her arms around her waist. "Gin, I'm so scared."
Ginny sat the tube down gently and quickly pulled her best friend into her arms. They both cried as the red head comforted her friend. Ginny reassured her that the potions were looking up for her treatment daily. Hermione only nodded her head. She helped Hermione get dressed and they made their way back to Grace's office so the couple could talk more about the treatment before heading home.

Hermione sat down on the bed. She pulled the blankets over herself and rolled over on her side. She felt the bed shift and arms wrap around waist. Lucius kissed Hermione's shoulder and held her close as she cried herself to sleep. He knew that she was scared of the unknown treatments it scared him too. He prayed things would turn out all right the end.
LM/HG
Hermione looked around at the treatment room. She sighed heavily at the chair with a clear bag of green looking potion inside. She sat down in the chair. Lucius had speared no money to make sure that she had her own room. He sat down in the empty chair and took her right hand gently into his own as Severus entered the room.
"Let's get started." Severus said and gently pushed the needle into her left arm and watched the potion drip down. "I'll be back in an hour to check on you."
"Thank you, Severus." Lucius whispered and watched the Potion's Master leave the room.
"So, it begins." Hermione said as she watched the potion enter her arm. She gripped her husband's hand when the potion stung entering her arm.
Lucius grabbed a nearby blanket and gently covered up his wife and brushed several curls from her face as he watched her slowly fall sleep as the potion entered her body. He brushed away fallen tear. He hated seeing her so sick. He swallowed hard willing the tears not fall.
An hour later Severus returned and saw the green potion was nearly gone. He rested a hand on Lucius shoulder shaking him awake. The blonde opened his eyes.
"We can move Hermione into her bed." Severus told his friend. "Hermione, sweetheart time to wake up." He said gently touching her hand.
"Oh, it's nearly done. I didn't mean to fall asleep. I'm sorry Severus." Hermione said.
He shook his head. "Don't be. You need your rest. How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok. Tired and a little sore, but mostly tired." She said and yawned.
Severus nodded his head and carefully removed the needle. Lucius gently lifted Hermione up into his arms and walked over to the nearby bed and pulled the soft blankets over her small frame. He got into the bed and wrapped his arms around his wife as he watched her fall back to sleep. Severus sighed heavily and quietly left the room.
Three hours later Hermione woke feeling nauseated. She groaned took several deep breaths. Lucius looked up from his book he was reading sitting beside Hermione's bedside.
"Lucius, I feel like I'm going to be sick. Can you help me to the bathroom?" Hermione asked.
He sat his book down and gently helped Hermione to the bathroom. She wrapped her arms around his waist. She felt so weak on her own two feet. She got down on her knees and lifted the toilet lid. Lucius held back Hermione's brown curls as she emptied her stomach into the toilet.
Lucius couldn't understand how she could throw up so much. Hermione hadn't eaten in twelve hours. She was throwing up for nearly twenty minutes. He didn't leave side. Hermione took a deep shaky breath and wrapped her arms round her husband.
"I feel so weak." Hermione mumbled into his chest.
Lucius gently rose to his feet and lifted Hermione up into his arms and carried her to the bed. He laid her down on the bed. He sat down on the bed and pulled her gently into his arms.
"I've got you love." He whispered. "I've got you my sweet wife." He kissed her gently on head.
The wizard looked over to the door when there was a knock on the door. The nurse walked in carrying a tray of food. She sat it down on the table. She quietly left the room. He shifted carefully and lifted the lid and saw some light soup.
"Darling, let's try to get you some food in you. It will make you feel better." He told her.
"I don't know if can even lift the spoon." She mumbled.
He shifted Hermione to where she was laying her head on his shoulder. He scooped the soup into the spoon. He blew on it and pressed it to her lips and she slowly sipped it from the spoon.
"I'm not a baby you know." She told him.
"I know you're not, but you just went through a very strong treatment. I want you strong and in fighting shape Mrs. Malfoy." He told her as he fed gently.
"Ok." She took another sip from the spoon. She shook her head not the last spoon full. "I can't eat another bite."
Lucius sat the spoon down in the bowl and wrapped his arms around his wife. "I'll have Draco take over the firm until you get well. I won't leave your side."
Hermione snuggled into his arms and whispered, "I love you," and she fell asleep.
Lucius kissed her brow, "As do I," he said once he knew she was asleep.
