Author's Note: Slytherin time. Keep reading! Dinner will be up in the next chapter.

Blaise Zabini stood outside Malfoy Manor clutching a letter tight in his hand. He couldn't believe the letter was from him. It said,

Zabini,

I don't care how you are doing or if you are married or if you have kids. I don't care how your health is or what you are doing or how happy you are. I want to see you in flesh and blood. Come over as soon as you can. Bring your family if you want to.

Not looking so forward to hearing from you,

Your Best Friend (If you still consider me so)

As he raised his hand to knock on the door, he wondered why no house elf answered the door as soon as they figured someone was at the door and the door was opened by Narcissa Malfoy with a smile on her face.

Looking at the questioning look on Blaise's face, she said, "The elves are on a holiday today; today is 'No Elves Day'."

"Oh" and Blaise held up the letter.

"Wonderful, then. Come in and meet his wife. He'll come in soon. Was meeting someone today."

"His wife?"

"Um… Yes. He hasn't told you about his wife and kids yet?"

"Er… No. His letter was rather short and concise. So…"

"I introduce you then. Come on in. You have been standing out far too long. Sorry for coming so late."

"It's okay " as both of then walked into the lounge to find the kids playing.

"These are Draco's kids – Scorpius and Siria. Call your mum, kids. Sit down, Blaise. Would you like something?" as the kids loudly shouted, "MUM, SOMEONE'S HERE!"

"You must be ." Scorpius stated.

"Of course he is, Scorp. Sorry, . My brother has no subtlety whatsoever. Welcome here" stated Syria in her best authoritative tone.

"Looks like this young lady here didn't get Draco's amazing manners and she sounds like know-it-all Granger." Said Blaise with an awed expression on his face as Scorpius sniggered and Siria scowled.

"That's the third time I've heard someone say that today and you will soon regret that statement, Zabini" Said Hermione with a smile as she entered the room.

THIS made Blaise mouth drop open.

"Thanks, Zabini. The first thing I want to hear about myself after so many years is definitely not that. Though your expression is not as funny as what happened to Hermione when I asked her to marry me." Draco said chuckling as he walked in looking thoroughly worked.

THIS made Blaise's mouth drop open MORE.

"YOU married GRANGER?" asked Blaise as Draco gave a nod of his head and gave Hermione a kiss on the forehead and stood beside her with his hand on her waist.

THIS made Blaise open his mouth even MORE.

"What happened to Hermione when you asked her?" came another non-plussed voice from the entrance to a lounge as a red-haired woman stood uncomfortably beside Lucius Malfoy.

"That's a long story. I suggest you come in and make yourself comfortable before I start." Draco smirked and Hermione scowled.
