Author's note: Sorry for the delay. Won't happen anymore. You'll get very fast updates. I'm planning to finish the story within the month. Stay tuned. Keep reading. Please give reviews-good or bad. TELL ME YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO RON EXPLODING. REVIEW! Go Dramione!

P.S. What happened to Hermione when Draco asked her comes at the end of the chapter. Oi! Don't look. It's good to have surprises.

P.S.S I know I said Slytherin letters. They are on the next chapter.

P.S.S.S There's not too much humour in this one. Next one will be UNBEARABLY funny, really!(the letters will be better than the one to Blaise.)

From chapter 7:

"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.

Lucius and Narcissa sniggered. Siria and Scorpius laughed.

Hermione almost whooped when she saw the 'red-haired woman'.

"GINNY! Oh my god! How are you?"

"I should be murdering you about now, do you know that? Anyways, I'm more interested in hearing your husband's story…", Ginny said with a very furiously cold expression.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything, Gin. I -",

Hermione looked down dejected, then all of a sudden, surprised, "Gin, how did you know I was married to Draco?"

"I was invited to dinner tonight. But I will leave if I'm unwelcome…"

"You know that's not what I meant. Draco, you went and invited her? Really?", Hermione turned to her husband questioningly as though not believing it.

Grinning slyly, Draco looked around Ginny and asked her, "Where's Potty, I mean, Potter?"

Lips lifting up at the ends, Ginny said, "I didn't know how we would be received. So, um…. I didn't tell Harry. I came alone. Aren't you going to tell us the story or not?"

"How are Pansy and the kids, Blaise? Why didn't you bring them?", asked Draco swerving around Ginny's question.

"Good. I wasn't sure if it was really you. So… did you know about that I'm married and have kids, eh?"

"Just because you didn't know about me doesn't mean I didn't know about you, you know!" Draco said with his trademark smirk and then frowned slightly, "Did you tell Pansy I invited you here today? Because I sent all the Slytherins letters for a night out tomorrow."

"No, I don't think I told her." Blaise told Draco after thinking for a while.

"Don't think? If I didn't work my head and remember telling 'Mione things like that, I'd be dead by now." Draco said, mock-wiping sweat off his brow.

This had Ginny chuckling and saying, "Actually, on second thought, I'm not angry at you, Herms. Knowing you had such a pompous ass of a husband makes me feel so much better about you getting rightful punishment for leaving us. Anyway, aren't you going to introduce me to your kids?"

Silent until then, Siria and Scorpius looked up and smirked.

Scorpius smirked wider and said, "We already know you. Mum keeps all your pictures on the fireplace."

"All who?" asked Blaise before Ginny could ask.

Lifting an eyebrow slightly, Siria said, "All of mom and dad's friends. All of you."

"Oh"

"Oh"

Enveloping each other in a bear hug, Hermione looked at Ginny and smiled.

With this, Ginny cast an uncertain look at Lucius disappearing round the door and added, "Your, umm.. in-laws,er… are Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, you-meant-Mr. Malfoy-by-F-I-L-didn't-you?" to Hermione.

"You can call us Lucius and Narcissa, dear.", Narcissa said to Ginny with an uncertain lift of the lips.

"Ummm..Er.." Ginny couldn't find words to speak at this unexpected display of warmth.

Eyes openly laughing at Ginny's fidgeting, Hermione reassured her," They accepted us before my parents did. They are really nice, you know. And I meant Lucius by F-I-L. He and Draco are obsessed with Ogden's this month. So he picked up the bottle and transfigured it."

"This month?", asked Blaise.

"You are actually a part of the Malfoy family and they are actually,….not bad" Ginny said faintly as though newly digesting the fact.

Sighing slightly, Lucius said to Hermione first, " Don't damage our reputation by telling everyone we're 'nice', 'Mione ", then to Blaise," We have a bottle of the one we 'like'(with a pointed look at Hermione) in every room each month" and to Ginny, as if the words tasted sour on his tongue, "First, apparently, today is No-Elves-Day and I get to personally answer the door thanks to my daughter in law."

"I opened the door for Blaise." Narcissa put in.

"Second,", Lucius continued, nodding at Narcissa," I might possibly have to be polite to Gryffindors."

Ginny started to fight him on it when she saw the teasing expression on 'Mr. Malfoy's' face.

Lucius then concluded," You can't judge us to be evil after the evilness was snubbed out by 'Mione, you know."

"Snubbed out?" Hermione glanced at Lucius.

"You still haven't answered what happened to Gra- Mal—your wife when you asked her to marry you." Blaise interrupted as though instinct told him there was to be a tirade.

"Mom "

"supposedly"

"went"

"into"

"a coma"

"for"

"2 weeks", said Siria and Scorpius alternatively grinning from ear to ear.

With his amazing Malfoy certainty, Draco said, "Yeah. She went into a coma for 2 weeks."

"2 weeks?", came from a flabbergasted Blaise.

"Coma?", came from Ginny who fell into the sofa with surprise.

Coming up: The letters to Slytherins, next chapter. Then meeting with the Slytherins, then Diagon alley, then Harry slight explosion, then Ron BIG EXPLOSION.
