Chapter 7

'Ah, Mr. Malfoy, it is a pleasure to finally meet you in person.' as Hermione and Lucius entered the small bookstore getting a glare from Hermione.

'Yes, nice to be able to tell of my secret plan.' as he smiled down at Hermione. 'Mr. Clouse this is my wife Hermione Granger-Malfoy, She is interested in pursuing a masters in bookbinding if you would be inclined to teach her?'

'What? My masters in bookbinding? How? When did you plan all of this?'

'Well that was part of the agreement we made, was it not? You would be able to further your education and I am following through with my side of the bargain.' Lucius smiled down to her.

'Oh Lucius,' as she hugged him, 'I owe you big time. Remind me when we get back to the room.' she whispered the last into his ear.

'Yes, Ms. Granger-Malfoy, your husband contacted me to see if I would consider you for and apprenticeship.' the small man spoke. 'Did you bring some samples?'

'Oh please, call me Hermione or Ms. Malfoy please. I didn't know I would need…'

'Yes sir I brought what you asked for,' as he pulled out two books and then called for Curlin. 'Can you bring the book please?' with a pop Curlin brought a book to him. 'This sir is the lineage book I spoke of.' as he handed it to Mr. Clouse.

'Very nice work' as he opened the book and inspected its workmanship.

'If you tap here.' as he did so the pages opened to show Lucius's family tree.

'Very nice charms work Ms. Malfoy, your own spells?'

'Yes, a friend and I are planning on selling these, and this one too.' as she pulled the baby book out of the pile of books. 'This one, pictures and accomplishments can be added thorough-out the life time of the person.'

'That is a wonderful idea you might be on to something there.' as he studied the workmanship. 'And this one?' as he pulled the last book that was in the pile.

'Oh that was a just for the fun of it, to see if I could. My friend is trying to talk me into making these on special order.' as Mr. Clouse admired the book with a face molded into the front.

'The stich work is small, equal in size. I love the thought and skill that went into this work of art. The placement of the eyes are exquisite, the creases add to the aesthetics, it almost looks alive?' Now where did you study?' as he continued to looked at the journal.

'Well, after the war the Hogwarts library was damaged. I was fortunate enough to have Ms. Irma Pince show me the dedication and skill needed to properly repair a book. I continued to educate myself in the fine art of repairs and create new methods of art.' as she caressed the face on the cover of the journal.

'Yes, Irma was a wonderful student and she has taught you well. I know this is a horrid thing to ask but do you have something less spectacular with you? As I need to asses your true skill I will need to dissect one of your books to see if there is anything I can still teach you.'

'Why yes, I did bring one of her personal journals just for that purpose.' as Lucius pulled out one last book. 'She finished this one just before she went on bed rest so it might not be her absolute best but it will show her work skill.'

'Bed rest? If I might ask?'

'Oh, yes I was pregnant with my four grandchildren, as the parents were unable to carry for themselves, I did it for them. I was out to here.' as her motioned with her hands, 'When I finished this one, I'm a little embarrassed at its quality.'

'Why? From the looks of it, it is almost perfect. But I will only be able to tell of its true perfection by unfortunately dissecting it if you don't mind?'

'Oh no, please do, and I would only expect only the harshest of comment as to all of its faults so I can do better next time.' as she bowed to him.

'As you wish Ms. Malfoy, would be so kind as to give me a few weeks to truly study your work?' as he too bowed.

'Yes sir, I will await your correspondence. Thank you so much for your consideration.'

'If I was to take your education further are you prepared to live here in Italy for up to a year?' Hermione looked over to Lucius, the thought of not being with him for a year hurt but if she wanted her master it is what was needed.

'Yes, sir she will be moving here, we will be living nearby, as I too have tentatively accepted an apprenticeship upon your acceptance of hers.' Lucius grinned.

'In what?'

'Master sommelier, so I can further my love and knowledge of wine.'

'Oh Lucius you would do that, move here with me?'

'Of course love, I don't think I could live a whole year without you.' he whispered the last into her ear, receiving a purr from her.

'Well then let me get to dissecting this fine piece of art, I hope you do know I will not enjoy this?'

'But I know you need to see my true skill, I am fine with sir.'

~o~

'You didn't tell me you wanted to be a master sommelier.' as they ate dinner that evening.

'Well, you know my love for wine and thought of you being gone for a year, why not? As they have one of the best sommeliers here in Italy so why not kill two birds with one stone and further my education as well?'

'So where will you be studying at?'

'One of the local wineries of course, I employ only the best and I might as well learn from him.'

'You own a winery? Of course you do.' she said with a grin.

'Yes, we can tour it later this week if you like? as we will be docked on the other side of Italy by then.'

'Yes that would be nice, so where will we live?'

'Well if the villa is not suited to your taste we will go look for a new place to buy.' as she sputtered out her drink at the nonchalant comment.

'Why buy a new place if you already have a place to stay?'

'Well you might not like that Narcissa stayed there once.'

'Once?'

'Yes she hated it, too many bugs, well how else can the grapes pollenate themselves the silly wench.' as he smirked in to his wine glass.

'I'm sure it will be fine there, no need to spend unnecessarily.' as she shook her head. 'I'm sure the view is spectacular, knowing you.'

'Ah, take all of the fun out of it.'

'How?'

'Well getting you to help me spend some money, but no I had to get the sensible wife, but we will see you might not like it after all.'

'Oi, I just spent how much at the furriers, all of those doe and exotic animal hides? I really didn't need one-hundred hides, you know?'

'Well if I remember right they are all different colors, and I would like my library to truly be one of a kind. Your idea of different colors for each genre sounds absolutely wonderful, and easier to find what you are looking for, and the pink and blue hides are for the special order baby books.' as he stood to retrieve his wife. 'Let's watch the sunset and then I'm taking you to bed to call on my, what's due to me.' as he wiggled his eyebrows.

They visited the winery and Hermione fell in love with the villa and the view, putting her foot down as to not looking for another place. The rest of the cruise was fabulous, new ports and book stores to visit. Just a few days before the cruise was scheduled to end they found an owl waiting on the railing of their balcony. Hermione was all of the jitters Lucius had to retrieve the letter. She calmed herself enough to feed the owl some bacon off of her plate.

'This is worse than waiting for my NEWTS.'

'How?'

'I have no idea what Mr. Clouse thinks of my work and how bad it really is.' as she opened the letter. 'Oh, I can't do it here please read it for me.' as she handed it to Lucius.

'Well, he wants you to come back in, to show him your methods but...'

'Oh, I'm that bad he wants to laugh at me at my methods? Be able to tell all of his collogues of my horrid ways?' as she started to cry.

'Well if you'd let me finish before you start rambling on. It says here he has never seen such fine work. And if truth be told he stated that you might be able to teach him a thing or two. And when could we return to complete your masters. Oh princess you will get your masters in bookbinding, I'm so proud of you. I think we can get everything in order and be back within… say two months? And he thinks you will only need to be there six months just to show him your work. We would be back in time for the quads first birthday.'

'Oh Lucius, but six months won't be long enough for you to get your masters.'

'That's fine I was just doing it to keep me busy while you're earning yours.'

'Would it upset you to miss the quads first birthday? And we stay here for the time it takes to get your masters? I don't want you to miss out just for me. You will be able to brag to all of your friends, you know.' as a grin crossed her lips. 'Just think Lucius Malfoy master sommelier, all of your friends will be jealous and if you are really board you could open one the best wine shops in all of Diagon Alley. Stock it with all of your best line?' she could see the wheels turning in his head.

'Oh, I was thinking about finding me something to do while you are at work. That might be just the idea, good thinking wife.' as he smiled. 'Side by side shops so I can visit during my slow times?'

'That could work, so let me accept this.' as she held up the letter.

'And I will get my realtor to start looking for a spot in Diagon Alley.'

'Do we need to start now? A year is a long time.'

'Honey we been married, what just over a year and a half, but feels like yesterday? Or at least it does to me so a year away with you yet again will fly by and I want the perfect place for both of us, so the search is on…'

'Wow, it has been that long, even having the quads, it seems like we got married just last month and we are just finishing up the honeymoon.' as she pulled him over to the bed and vanished their clothes.

~o~

'Oh Hermione I didn't want to ruin your vacation but the boys moved out of the manor.' as they apparated in to the manor.

'Oh, ok.' with the look of confusion.' I'm sorry I know you were hoping for them to stay with us.'

'Oh no, it was the plan,' she looked over at him still in confusion. 'The boys know of your feelings so they thought this would be the perfect time to move while we were gone.'

'I'm so sorry Lucius I know you wanted the babies to stay with us…'

'Um, No? I realized that I am too old to be raising kids and prefer to see them when they come over. I can properly spoil them if they only come over once and awhile.' getting a big grin on his face. 'And if they lived with us full time I couldn't bend you over the dining room table and shag you whenever I please so it is a good thing they moved out.' Lucius said as bent Hermione over the nearest table and proceeded to shag her.

~o~

The next two months they spent time looking in Diagon Alley to find the best spot, which turned out to be right next to Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. Papers signed and the appropriate staff hired to start designing and setting up ready for their return. They spent time with the babies, at first she was guilty they had moved out but soon realized that the idea of separate houses was perfect for all. Draco and Harry with the help of the elves had a good routine established.

~o~

'Oh yes I needed to talk to you two before I leave.' Lucius looked up from his paperwork. 'Need to go to Paris this week and Hermione has other things to do here in preparations for our studies, so can you… while I'm gone?'

'What?' Draco sputtered.

'Well if I'm not mistaken you are bi?' receiving nods from both. 'Have you not found a suitable female to join you yet?' both shook their heads. 'Right so you only have eyes for Hermione?' he asked matter of factly. They both nodded but look guilty.

'Um… Uh…' Harry and Draco both looked surprised.

'Oh just spit it out the both of you.' he growled. 'I've seen you staring at her, and both of you wish to still be able to visit her bed? Do you not?'

'Well, yes but we knew that was just while she was pregnant.' Draco spoke.

'All of those extra pregnancy hormones.' Harry added.

'Well, I need to be gone for a week or two and I want to know my wife is well taken care of while I am gone, are you two you up to the task?' as he signed another paper.

'Um yes sir if you are sure you want us to…' Harry spoke with surprise.

'Yes I want you to shag my wife, Harry. I think keeping her away for a year might do both of you in. And we might just come back at her graduation in six months for a brief visit if this next two weeks goes well for the lot of you.'

'Um, sir is Hermione ok with this arrangement?' Harry asked.

'Oh, yes we discussed it last week. I can come over and stay at your place or you can come here if that suits you better.' Hermione said as she entered the study with a tray of tea and cookies.

~o~

'Hermione I didn't think dad would offer this to us, I figured it would just be while you pregnant affair.' Draco said as he waved his wand to undress them.

'Well he has caught us staring at each other at times and he asked me about it. I told him if things had been different in the past I could have and would have been with you or Harry or even both. I would have been his daughter-in-law not his wife. So he knows I had a crush on both of you and by allowing an occasional visit will satisfy all parties involved why not allow it.' as Draco's hand grazed up Hermione's side and Harry took her nipple into his mouth …as they collapsed onto the bed a sometime later. 'Wow! That was fun. The swing was a good idea, Draco, made that a lot easier position to get into.'

'Well I guess we will see you after graduation, Mione.' Draco said as he trailed his fingers up her front.

'Um… yea he said something about that would be part of my graduation present.' as she smiled at them. 'This… was interesting, one in my twat and one in my mouth.'

'Yea I will have to agree with you, seeing Harry's cock in your mouth was a fantastic site to see. I can't wait for Harry to see my cock in your mouth.'

'Ok, I've got one more in me.' as she moved to get into the swing.

'Are you serious?' Draco shifted to her head.

'Why not, I'm not tired yet.' she purred.

~o~

'Did you have a good week?' Lucius drawled as he entered his study.

'When I wasn't missing you, yes dear, I wasn't expecting you until this evening, or I would have been ready for you.' as she vanished their clothes, 'I did miss you terribly though.' Hermione said as pushed him into the chair and climbed on to his waiting cock.

'Oh, Merlins I missed you too.' as he thrusted into her. 'I got all of the work done and decided to surprise you.'

'Um, yes you did, and oh Merlins,' as she slammed down on him. 'I'm coming Lucius go harder.' as he thrusted back into her with force.

'Oh yes, Mione, that's it.' as he thrusted on last time into her and fell back into the chair with her slumped into his chest. 'Well I now know that I cannot go more than two week without you on my cock. Those two week where worse than all of my time in Azkaban.' as he apparated them to their bedroom. 'Ready for round two?'

'Oh yes fine sir, please shag me good and hard please.' as he pushed her up against the wall.

~o~

True to his word they came back for Hermione's graduation. As he had business to tend to in Paris again, Hermione was left in Draco and Harry's care.

One of the days they had taken the quads to Diagon Alley to see the progress on the new shop.

'Oh I see they have thrown you out with the trash.' Ron said as he and his family passed Hermione carting some boxes out of the shop.

'Um, no I'm helping get it set up for our return.' as she turned to go back into the shop.

'Oh, so the Lady Malfoy has to work? Oh so sorry, you know you wouldn't need to work if you were with me, you know?' Ron smirked. Hermione shook her head.

'Um, I don't have to work. I'm working because I want to. And as this is my shop, I need to at least help set it up.' as she pointed to the sign.

Coming Soon!

Book Bindery.

Custom books

by Hermione Granger-Malfoy.

'Oh,' Ron squeaked.

'Yes Ron, I went and finished my education bought shop space all without your help. And to be truthful I would have never been able to do this with you riding my coat tails.'

'Excuse me what do you mean by that.' Molly screeched.

'Well, Ron's only accomplishments to date are… let's see… Make a fool of himself in the ministry, try to play professional quidditch, blow all of his hero's compensation and oh did you ever find some poor lost soul to marry you yet? Because last I heard you have not.' she looked up at Ron just as he lunged towards Hermione but she was faster and raised her wand to his face. 'Do you really want me to hex you in front of your family?'

'Only because you ruined his life.' Molly spat.

"I did no such thing. He did that all by his lonesome but I have given birth to four beautiful grandbabies,' as she pointed to the stroller behind her. 'Got a masters in book binding, and in the process of opening my own shop with my money not Lucius's. So please move along, you kind of bring down the aesthetics the of the street.' as Harry and Draco and a few of the passersbys that had happen to hear, clapped at her tirade. 'And the sad thing is that if you hadn't shown your arse and treated us.' pointing to Harry. 'Like shite you would have been a grandmother four times over Molly.' as she looked over her shoulder to the beautiful babies behind her, she turned back to see the horrified look in Molly's eyes at the loss of babies to care for. 'So this is on your lot not me or mine.' Hermione's shoulder slumped as she turned to go back into her shop and they turn and stormed off.

'Hey Mione, I'm so sorry if I had known they would be here today I would have warned you.' George spoke apolitically, as they all entered her shop.

'It's not your fault Ron in a prat and your mom can't let the past go.' Hermione grabbed George's hand as she spoke. 'It had to happen sometime, I'm glad it was today though.

'Why?'

'What do you think Lucius would have done if he had been here? I had to warn Harry and Draco not to step in and jinx them. I know I would not have been able to stop Lucius. So all is well here, let's just let it go.' as George nodded.

'I so wanted to come to your rescue but I know you can handle yourself.'

'Good I don't need to you to be on the outs with them too.' Hermione smiled at his willingness to come to her defense.

'Hey, if you ever want to hold it over him… Hermione got my v-card, Hermione was better than your sister and in all reality turned Harry gay.' as Harry nodded. 'And Lucius got Mione's v-card.' Draco smiled as George drank-in the information.

'Really? I thought you and Pansy?' as he looked to Draco.

'Nope, couldn't do her if I tried.' Draco said with a grin. 'I think it was the thought of her being a slag that did it and Harry has a pretty cute arse.' as they all groaned.

'And our Mione is way better that my sister? And she turned you gay? How?' George asked Harry.

'Well she was really bossy in bed, do it this way, move here, move there. Yea, didn't want a twat bossing me around. Then I needed to get her up the duff, and had to do it the natural way to have the heir thing valid. Hermione was so sweet and made it a good experience for me. So if Ginny hadn't been a harping bint I might have stuck around.' Harry professed.

'Oh, am I allowed to speak of this?' George asked tentatively.

'Um,' looking to the other two, getting shrugs and nods. 'Yea, she needs to know, and knowing your mother she is questioning the validity of the babies' birth, just because she hates us right now. So yea it can be discussed.' Harry said.

'Right, but I'm still sorry you had to deal with my lot. In truth I'm not sure I still want to call them my lot any more…' as he looked at his feet. 'Ever since I lost Fred we have been butting heads. They all cry they lost a son and a brother, but I lost more than my brother I lost my other half.' as Hermione went up to hug him.

'I'm so sorry George, if we had known we would have been there for you.' Hermione cried with him.

'I tried to hide it but sometimes it comes to the front and really hurts and they just say I'm not the only one who has lost.' as her cried into her shoulder.

'Hey, if you can stand to be around us poofers you can come round ours anytime you want, you know?' Harry went up and rubbed his back.

'Yea, round ours anytime you want.' Draco was also rubbing his back.

'And just so you two know I don't like to be poked, I like to do the poking, and as you two don't have what I need, you won't mind if I don't.' as his eye brows wiggled, they all busted out laughing.

'Well just so you know I don't like red freckled arses so you are safe from me.' Draco laughed.

'And you are too much like my brother to… eww.' as Harry started to gag.

'And I'm taken.' Hermione smiled at Harry and Draco.

'But if you can handle screaming babies you're always welcome ours, ok?' Draco reiterated.

'And if you ever need to talk to a real girl,' smirking at the boys, 'I will be back in six months, after Lucius gets his masters. Ok?' George nodded.

'Thank guys, I appreciate it.' as he turned to hide the tears. 'Um... I need to get back over to my shop.' as he left.

~o~

'How about a bath? The three of us? Lots and lots of bubbles?' Harry asked as the apparated in to their house.

'Yea, that sounds nice.'

'Well, we will go put all of these in their cribs and meet you there?' Draco asked as he and Harry turned to the kids rooms.

'So what do you need or want? After today this is your call.' Draco spoke into Hermione's neck as he rubbed her back.

'Well, since your there.' she bent forward onto Harry's lap as he was sitting on the bench of the tub which was almost the size of a small pool. Draco thrusted into her, 'Hard and fast please.' And this position her tits where on either side of Harry's cock so he took advantage and squeezed them around his cock. All three soon came screaming names out.

'That was fun. I didn't hurt you did I?' Harry asked, she shook her head. 'So what do you want now?'

'Well now that we have knocked off all of the dirt from today how about a good 'ol shag fest in the swing?'

'Ok, works for us.' the boys said in unison.

~o~

'Hermione? Are you ok?' Lucius yelled across the hall.

'First of all, you're late and why are you yelling?'

'Well, I stopped by the shop to see the work you have done, and I will say it looks great and then Mr. Weasley came over to apologize for his family. He told me about the whole scene that they caused. I assured him it was not his fault and nothing to apologize for. Why was I not told?'

'Well I handled it and I didn't want to interrupt your work for a small problem at home and was going to tell you after we had our welcome home sex but seeing as you are too worked up that will have to wait.' She spoke softly to try to calm him down. 'As you are too miffed with me it would probably be in my best interest to wait until you have calmed down a little to have sex as I would be subjected to grudge sex a little ruffer than what I would enjoy.'

'Uh… What grudge sex?'

'Yes very ruff sex, you will feel better but as mad as you are now it would be too much for me.' as she rubbed his back, she could feel the tension leave his body. She wrapped her arms around him and apparated them to their bedroom, vanished his clothes, as she laid back on the edge of the bed and pulled him into her and kicking him in the arse.

'Oh merlins you're right this feels good.' as he plowed into her, she bucked with equal force if not a little more. He had soon screamed his release. 'Did I hurt you, did I?' getting a shake of her head as she laid there panting, 'You're right as usual if I had fucked you just after coming home I would have hurt you.'

'Now if you have worked that out will you make love to me? I have missed you.'

'Yes princess anything you want.' as she moved up on the bed, he followed her up planting kisses as he worked his way up to her lips and he entered her again with tender loving care. 'I'm so sorry for not letting you come the first time around.' Let me make it up to you.'

'I wasn't expecting to come so you are good but I do expect to come at least three times before we finish this session.' as she grinned up at him.

'Your wish is my command.' as he went to work pleasing his wife. They finished with Hermione screaming his name in the shower.

'So I think that makes number four? So how about dinner and then back up here for desserts?'

'Um, yea that sound fantastic.' as she calmed herself from that last orgasm.
