A/N: Yes, so I'm finally updating this thing, but it's not entirely my fault. It wouldn't let me update on Nov. 14, and then exams started looming over my head and stuff – but, Merry Christmas, then, ithilienwoods, because I forgot to get you something. XD.

Redemption Series – Part Three: Redeemed
Draco Malfoy, 24, looked to his right at the brunette sitting near him on the sofa, nose buried in a book as always. This one was entitled "History of the War – An Insight into Wizarding Psychology During The Dark Times". It had just been published, so naturally, she had to have it, especially because it was written (at least partially) about her and her then-boyfriend, now husband – namely, him.
He got up and walked hopefully towards the kitchen before Hermione's voice stopped him. "Don't. Even. Try it."
"But," He pouted at her. "I know my birthday cake is in there!"
She set the book down on the coffee table in front of her, and stared at him. It was enough to make him walk back to the couch and sit down again, trailing a hand suggestively up her thigh. "I see. Well, the only thing keeping me from going back into that kitchen is the thought that you might be willing to…distract me."
She laughed softly. "I see, Mr. Malfoy. I guess I'll have to distract you, or it'll ruin the surprise." She moved in to kiss him, but was interrupted by a loud "Ewwww" from the doorway. Jade, their three-year-old daughter looked at them.
As Hermione and Jade went into the kitchen to find something to eat for lunch, Draco smiled, thinking just how lucky he was to have Hermione.
While half the Wizarding world still looked at him suspiciously, while he couldn't walk into Knockturn Alley anymore, while Lucius Malfoy had killed hundreds of muggles and muggle-borns, Draco knew that in the eyes of Hermione Granger, he was redeemed.
And that was all that mattered.
