Van Wert, 2005

As their memories of the train ride came to an end, Hermione and Draco pulled Harry out of their pensieve. Harry stared at them in shock. "What the hell, Hermione?" Hermione shook her head firmly.

"No Harry. I won't answer anything at all until you have seen all those memories. As for now, it is getting late and you need to get back to your family." Harry looked out the window to see that it was quite dark and a small clock on the wall read that it was already 10pm.

"Where are your children?" He questioned, wanting to say farewell to them.

"They've already gone to bed, Harry. Take the pensieve back with you and let the others see. It'll be easier that way." Harry nodded in agreement and they said their farewells before he Apparated away.

After shutting the door behind her close friend firmly, she leaned against it her eyes tightly shut. She felt her husband's presence beside her as he wrapped his arms around her tightly. "Mya…you okay?"

Hermione nodded softly. "Mhmm…" She softly murmured. Draco smiled softly placing his lips on her neck as he began to attack her in a fury of kisses. Hermione giggled softly before kissing him firmly on his lips. "I miss our youth, Draco. Even with the upcoming war, we were so carefree but now we have so many responsibilities and such."

Draco nodded before a mischievous glint took over his aquamarine eyes. He took her hand as he led her up the stairs. "Who said our youth had to disappear?"

Hermione cocked her head in an attempt to question his statement. Draco grinned cheekily. "You'll see when we get to the bedroom, love." Hermione gaped and then giggled furiously as they quickly ran up the stairs.

Potter Residence, 2005

Harry sighed heavily as he returned to his home. It was still only mid afternoon there. Ginny yelped with surprise as the raven-haired man Apparated into the room. "Harry! You're home early! What happened? Did you find her?" She questioned as she jumped up and raced towards him. He rubbed his temples in shock before seating himself in a soft couch. "Harry?"

He looked up at his wife. "Yeah. I found her." Ginny squealed in delight before questioning the slight obstruction in his joy. "I got there and I realised that she's married with children. I saw the kids playing and then I heard the man talking. It's Malfoy, Ginny. She's married to Draco Malfoy, the bane of our existence at Hogwarts, and has three children with him with another one on the way."

Ginny gulped nervously and seemed to sit down with a sort of awe mixed with guilt and shock before slowly seating herself beside her husband. Almost suddenly Albus Dumbledore appeared out of the flames which had become a green colour much to their ignorance. "Harry, m'boy! How was your visit to Hermione?"

Harry stared at the professor before his eyes darkened slightly. "You know didn't you?" Harry spat angrily. "You knew that she was married to Malfoy. You knew that he was in Van Wert with her! How could you not tell me? Do you even know how shocked I was?"

Dumbledore sighed heavily. "Harry…it was impossible for you to know before the war for it could most probably be detrimental to the war and after they disappeared, I did not find it my place to reveal their news but their job. They would return once it was time for them to."

Harry sighed heavily. "Sorry, professor. I'm…just a bit stressed at the moment." Dumbledore nodded understandingly before muttering something about a meeting and Floo-ed out of the Potter home.

Ginny smiled softly. "You've obviously not gone too far into the memories. Go on…take another few peeks." She whispered before leaving the room, wiping the flour from her hands onto her apron.

Harry stared after his wife, there was something she was scared about yet he knew she wasn't going to come near telling him. Sighing softly, he re-entered the memories.

Hogwarts, 1999

After a few farewell kisses, Hermione climbed out of the carriage with the assistance of Draco, much to the shock and disgust (on behalf of a few) of the students. Hermione giggled lightly and was about to say something when Harry, Ron and Ginny came rushing up to her.

"Hermione! There you are! Why didn't you come back?" Ron rambled, hugging her tightly. Draco mumbled angrily at this. It was common knowledge that Ron had a large crush on Hermione, even Hermione knew it.

Hermione pulled away quickly. "Sorry…I just…couldn't be bothered coming back seeing as the meeting ended when we were almost there and I had to get on the Heads' carriage. So sorry, to you all."

Harry and Ron seemed to readily accept her explanation though Ginny looked doubtful, her gaze flicking from Hermione to Draco and back again.

Hermione grinned widely and swung her arm around Ginny's shoulder. "We have a lot to catch up on, missy. See you later, Draco!" She farewelled over her shoulder as Draco waved his goodbye to her.

Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron made it to the Great Hall just in time for the opening ceremony. They listened intently as the sorting occurred. Hermione cheered loudly as Aaliyah was placed into Gryffindor as Draco whooped loudly when Jayden was announced a Slytherin. They all gleefully began piling food onto the plates after Dumbledore's odd words. "So Hermione…tell us…how was the week with the Ferret? What'd you do?"

Hermione choked on her food at the unexpected question. "We erm…did random stuff. We, you know, got our things and erm…went to France." She replied, muttering the end softly.

Ginny and Harry stared at her in horror though Ron didn't hear her. "What was that, Mione?"

"We…erm…went to France for a few days."

The table winced as Ron spat out his food in shock and his face began to blend in with his fiery hair. "WHAT! YOU DID WHAT!"

Hermione glared heavily. "Stop attracting attention, Ronald. Honestly. It's not much of a big deal. We went to France."

"Who went to France, exactly?" Harry questioned as Ginny leaned in with interest and Ron sputtered angrily.

"Draco and I went to France. It isn't important, really. We ate, went swimming, a bit of skiing, we slept and clubbed. No biggie." Hermione sighed angrily as she finished. "Happy?"

Harry and Ron nodded sheepishly before quickly striking up a conversation with Dean and Seamus about Quidditch. Hermione glared at their backs before turning to Ginny who was prodding her arm.

"So…Hermione…tell me…" She started with a sly grin. "Have fun with Draco, eh?"

Hermione gaped and slapped Ginny's arm lightly. "What on earth, Ginevra Weasley?"

Ginny shrugged. "You have to admit, Mione, he's gorgeous. He's the most wanted guy in the whole bloody school! I don't care if he tormented us at the beginning, but he's not as much of a bad guy as he seems. He's…hot?"

Hermione grinned. "Really? You think so?" Ginny nodded feverishly. "Well…if anything happens, I'll be sure to tell you." Hermione reassured her friend who giggled happily.

"Oh and by the way, Hermione. Hottie just happens to be staring at you." Hermione's head shot up and indeed, Draco was staring straight at her. He licked his upper lip suggestively before he sent her a sly wink and smile before turning to Blaise who was chatting animatedly about his latest crush, Sally-Anne Perks.

Ginny gaped at him before nudging Hermione with glee. "Did you see that, Mione!" She exclaimed happily. "OH! You would just be perfect for each other. I swear I can just see it written in the stars!" She squealed excitedly.

Hermione just smiled knowingly, returning to her food once more. "Who knows Ginny…perhaps it is." She muttered with a small shrug.

"Perhaps what is what?" Ron cut in. Hermione opened her mouth to make a quick excuse but Ginny beat her to it. "Oh shove off it, Ron! It's none of your business and if you must know, I was telling her that she and a particular good-looking boy are written in the stars." Ginny ended by poking her tongue at her brother.

"What boy? There is no one here that deserves Hermione. She doesn't have a boyfriend does she? How come I don't know about it?" Hermione scowled in annoyance.

"Honestly Ron. I don't have a boyfriend and what is it to you? It's my life so let me live it." Ginny smirked as Hermione glared at Ron and turned her back to her.

"Ugh...I can't believe that my fool of a brother actually thinks he has a chance with you. It's not like you like him…do you?" And so their dinner continued with a discussion of boys.

Hermione was finishing of the contents of her desert bowl when a smooth voice came from behind her. "Hermione, Professor Dumbledore wants us in his office. He wants to discuss something to do with our…erm…situation ...as Heads of course." Draco hastily added, wanting to avoid a fight.

Hermione nodded. "Just let me finish my desert, Mr. Impatient. Honestly." Draco grinned slyly. "How about I help you there, miss?"

Hermione looked up as her bowl was pulled from her hands. "Draco, I dema-" She was suddenly cut off as Draco pushed a spoon into her mouth. Ron stood up angrily. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Malfoy?" He demanded, spitting out the last word as if it were a disease.

Draco cocked his head to a side. "Hmm…let me see. I'm helping Hermione here to finish off her food, seeing as she takes the smallest bites I have ever seen." He stated with a smirk before turning his attention to Hermione. "Come on, we don't want to keep McGonagall waiting."

Hermione nodded in agreement and quickly ran after Draco, after gathering her belongings. McGonagall stood waiting for them at the doors and lead them to the office when they had come to her.

"Curly-wurley." She stated with slight embarrassment. "Alright, Hermione and Draco. Professor Dumbledore will see you in his office now." The pair nodded and quickly made their way up the stairs.

They opened the door, cautiously and were welcomed by a smiling face. "Mr and Mrs Malfoy! It is always a pleasure to see you both again." Hermione and Draco grinned back at their Headmaster and mentor before seating themselves in a plush love-seat that had somehow found its way into the room.

"Now the matter that we need to address here is your current situation, as a married couple among your peers who do not know. I can understand that it will be quite difficult. I have been searching through the ancient library of the Ministry and I have come across a few books belonging to Merlin. He has stated quite clearly that it is of utmost importance that you both do not keep this bottled up inside of you. You must tell only one other person after marriage. So it is important for you both to tell only one of your friends; one of Hermione's and one of Draco's. I hope that this is clear. They must both swear by Wizard's Honour to keep this secret within them, by spell. No matter what, they cannot tell anyone unless they have your consent or someone else finds out and questions them. They are your 'secret-keepers'. That is all and you may leave."

Draco stood to leave yet Hermione began to speak. "Professor, did you just say that we were allowed to tell a friend?" The professor nodded. "Alright, but what exactly are we to tell them? Everything?"

"Yes, Mrs Malfoy. It would be easier to tell them all, though I advise that you start with basics. Oh, and remember that your classes don't begin tomorrow but the next. Tomorrow is a Hogsmeade day." Hermione and Draco both nodded before bidding goodnight and walking to their common room.

Hermione suddenly stopped. "I need Ginny. I need to tell her now." Draco opened his mouth to express his worry but Hermione beat him to it. "She doesn't mind. She told me this dinner that she, and I quote, 'can just see it written in the stars'." Draco grinned slyly.

"If only she knew how right she was which she will soon." He stated with a small chuckle. "I'm going to get Blaise. We'll all meet in the common room." Hermione nodded in agreement before rushing the opposite direction.

Ginny, Ron and Harry were saying their goodnights when the common room portrait swung open and Hermione rushed through the doorway. "Mione!" Ron exclaimed before rushing to her puffing form, causing Harry and Ginny to roll their eyes in exasperation. "Are you alright? Did anything hurt you? Was it Malfoy? I'll kill him!"

Hermione backed away with disturbance. "Ronald! Stop being so protective! I am absolutely fine! I was just bloody running! Now if you don't mind, I wish to speak to Ginny."

Ron scowled as Hermione rushed past him and grabbed Ginny by the sleeve and began to drag her out of the room. Ron shouted after them. "Where are you going?"

"We're going to my common room. I want to show Ginny my room and such." She retorted with evident frustration at Ron's clinginess.

"Oh! Can I come? I really, really want to see what our wonderful Hermione gets to live in." Hermione glowered as she spun around.

"No Ron! Stop being so clingy. I want to speak to Ginny in private so leave us alone! Oh! Goodnight, Harry! Sweet dreams!" She dragged Ginny out of the common room and huffed with irritation at Ron. "Honestly, that brother of yours…" She muttered before leading the way to her common room.

"So what is it you wanted to speak about, Mione?" Ginny questioned, still a bit surprised at Hermione's impatience. "It seems very important, eh?"

Hermione sighed heavily. "It is really important and it means a lot to me. I can only tell one person and I chose you. You'll find out when we get there. La muerte es una no maldición, sino un rega."

Hermione began to enter when she realised that Ginny was gaping in shock at the portrait. She stepped back and took a look and began to laugh loudly at what she saw.

Draco was seated under a shady tree with Hermione seated in his lap. There was a small basket of strawberries beside them and Draco was feeding them to Hermione. "Oh come on, Gin." She managed to say through her laughter while dragging Ginny once more.

Upon their arrival in the common room, they saw Draco and Blaise patiently waiting on one of the couches. "Oh wow! Mione, this place is wonderful!" Ginny exclaimed before noticing the two young men on the couch.

Draco raised an eyebrow, playfully. "Someone took their time." Hermione huffed once more annoyed. "It was all the fault of her bloody brother. Honestly, he needs to get over me." Draco smiled at her response and evident annoyance at one of his 'enemies'. "Anyway, let's get on with it, shall we?"

Draco nodded as Hermione led Ginny to the other couch. "Hold on a minute." Hermione waved her wand and four mugs of Butterbeer appeared on the table. Blaise and Ginny immediately reached for one but Hermione and Draco nervously sat waiting. Hermione nodded at Draco. "Go on, Draco. Short and sweet, alright?"

Draco smiled in reassurance. "Alright. Well…this is sort of hard to tell you both but…there…"

Hermione sighed. "There is no one called Hermione Allison Granger. She doesn't exist anymore." Blaise and Ginny stared at her for a minute before laughing uproariously.

Hermione growled before waving her hand in frustration, wishing that they would shut up. All of a sudden the room fell silent despite Ginny and Blaise still laughing, or so it seemed. They stopped suddenly and opened their mouths to protest but nothing came out of their mouths.

Draco and Hermione stared, surprised, before grinning widely. "AHA! I DID WANDLESS MAGIC!" Hermione exclaimed before dancing around the room. Draco jumped up and waved his hand, concentrating on Blaise and Ginny being able to speak again. "Go on! Speak!" He shouted excitedly. Blaise opened his mouth.

"What the hell happened there?" He stated, irritated but was answered by a triumphant yell. "MYA! I DID IT!" Hermione squealed happily and rushed to hug her husband.

Blaise and Ginny waited patiently, yet curiously, for the pair to settle. "How did you do that?" Ginny asked, awed when the couple finally sat once more. "I don't know! I mean…it's obviously one of the powers but we didn't know we could do it!"

"Hermione…" Ginny questions cautiously. "What powers?" Hermione was about to scold Ginny on her forgetfulness when she realised that they hadn't explained.

"Well, as I was saying before you began to laugh. I am not Hermione Granger. I am…Hermione Malfoy." Ginny and Blaise both spat out the liquids that they were drinking.

"WHAT!" They both exclaimed, shrilly.

Hermione blushed and so Draco spoke. "Well, you see…Hermione and I were wed during the holidays, hence the rings on her finger. Let us explain."

And so, together Hermione and Draco explained to the pair their story, the prophecy before making them agree to Wizards Honour that they would keep it a secret and bound them to secrecy with a spell. Blaise soon left and Draco retired to bed yet Ginny and Hermione stayed awake.

As soon as Draco disappeared up the stairs, Ginny squealed with excitement. "OH MY GOSH! You're married! I cannot believe it! And to Draco Malfoy! Wow! It's amazing! He's the hottest guy at this whole school! You're so lucky! If anyone found out, which they're not because my mouth is firmly shut, then you'd receive so many death threats from jealous girls! This is such a shock! WOW!"

Ginny rambled in one breath and drew in another long one. "Alright Ginny! I get it! You're shocked and trust me; I was when I found out. But he's an amazingly perfect guy. He told me that I was perfect…" Hermione added with a blush.

Ginny shrieked again before crashing into Hermione with a firm hug. "Congratulations! Oh! It's so exciting. And – OH NO! I need to get you a wedding present."

Hermione gaped at her friend, who she was pretty sure was going mad. "Ginny, don't be daft! You don't need to get me anything." She reprimanded.

"Nonsense, Mione! Of course I do. What kind of friend would I be!" She exclaimed. "Anyway, I better be getting back. I won't tell a soul! Goodnight."

Hermione shook her head in disbelief as her friend ran out of the room. "That girl is insane." She muttered softly before preparing for bed. She smiled as she saw Draco happily curled in bed, a slight smile on his lips.

She quickly changed and slipped into bed, kissing Draco's forehead tenderly. Two arms snaked around her and pulled her into him. She looked down in shock to see Draco grinning up at her, wide awake. "Goodnight, Draco." She whispered, kissing his softly.

He whispered back, holding her tightly against his body. "Goodnight, beautiful."
