Last time:
"Most of us agree with that, but mum, Ginny and Ron don't see it that way."
"Well as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with Draco, and I'm happy with my life, it they can't deal with it then its their loss."
Now:
The first few weeks since the twins birth was exhausting for everyone. Draco and Hermione hardly got any sleep, Harry and Blaise continued to come over all the time, Harry actually moving into the spare room to help out. Hermione had grown close to Lucius and Narcissa, they really did seem to be trying to turn themselves around for the sake of their grand children. They would also come over to help out daily.
The twins were turning 8 weeks old today and they were finally starting to get on some kind of pattern when it came to sleep and feeding. Thanks to Harry, Hermione and Draco were able to get a full 7 hours of sleep the night before. Hermione woke up and went to the living room where Harry, Lucius and Blaise were sitting.
"Thanks for helping us, we reallllly needed the sleep, twins are brutal." she said as she sat down between Blaise and Harry.
"No problem Hermione, we aren't god fathers and grandfathers for nothing." Harry replied.
"I still think I'm to good looking to be a grandfather." Lucius replied with a smirk. "I should also warn you Hermione, now that you are healed up my wife will be dragging you to prepare for the wedding."
Hermione groaned and slumped further into the couch.
"Planning the wedding requires moving and frankly, I just want to sit and relax."
"You can probably hold her off for a week or so, but she is ready to see Draco marry." Lucius replied with a chuckle.
"No, I wont hold her off, I am excited but I'm just so worn out."
"Have you decided on a bridesmaid yet? Draco has already asked me to be his best man." Blaise asked.
"I don't have any female friends, your all male." she grew silent for a minute before her own smirk appeared, " Harry, will you be my man of honor?"
Lucius and Blaise burst out laughing, while Harry looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Man of honor?" he asked
"Yes, man of honor, I can't very well stand up there by myself."
Harry rolled his eyes and sighed, "Fine, I'll do it...but I will not wear a dress."
The other three in the room suddenly had a mental picture of Harry standing there in a long, emerald green dress, smiling at the crowd.
"I'd think you were sexy" she said with a wiggling of her eye brows.
"Absolutely, positively not." Harry replied to the comment, setting the room into laughter again.
Narcissa walked in a few minutes later, baby in each arm.
"Oh Hermione, your up...wonderful, I have a question for you." she said in a hyper voice.
"When do you want to start planning?" Hermione asked, already knowing what Narcissa was going to ask.
"WOW, your good." she said, handing the babies to her. Lucius gave Hermione a wink and an I told you so look.
"I was thinking of starting today actually, if your up for it that is?"
"That will be fine, I guess we need to start sometime considering we set the date for three weeks from today."
"THREE WEEKS...TO PLAN A MALFOY WEDDING?" Narcissa asked in mortification.
"Calm down Narcissa, I highly doubt Hermione wants to make as big of deal out of this as you did." Lucius replied while shaking his head.
"He's right, It wont be a huge wedding, I have no family and all of my friends are in the wedding itself, so other then the Hogwarts professors, everyone else there will be from the Malfoy side."
"Where are your parents child?" Lucius asked.
"Ummm, they kinda disowned me when I told them I was pregnant, said they wanted no part of the child's life or mine." she answered looking down.
"You and Draco are doing this wedding part muggle, part wizarding right?"
"Yes, thats the plan."
"Then who is going to walk you down the isle if your father isn't there?" Lucius asked.
"Don't know, I guess I was just going to walk down on my own."
"No you wont, don't worry, I think I have someone in mind for the job." Lucius told her.
"Who?"
"You'll see."
The next day Lucius made an appearance to an old friend, and Draco's god father.
"Hello Severus." he said while walking into the classroom.
"Ahh, Lucius, what brings you to my little slice of heaven." Snape asked sarcastically.
"I've got a favor to ask of you."
"A favor?"
"Yes a favor, well its actually more for Draco." he replied. Snape rolled his eyes and motioned for Lucius to continue.
"Have you read the paper lately?"
"No, I've been brewing nonstop for weeks, why?"
"Well, Draco is getting married and the woman he is to marry just had a set of twins, Draco is a father now."
Severus looked to Lucius in shock, "I wasn't aware he was going to be a father."
"No one was, They kept it pretty well hidden. We knew of course on our own accord, but they didn't tell us until we walked into the hospital and faced them."
"I'm not babysitting if thats what your here to ask." Severus said quickly.
"No, no, it's nothing like that. The brides parents disowned her when they found out she was pregnant and has no one to walk her down the isle. All of their friends are in the wedding itself and I cant do it because Narcissa and I are in charge of babies."
"So you want me to step in as the Brides father for the day?"
"Draco and I would appreciate it if you did."
"I will do it for Draco. When is the wedding and who is the bride?"
"The wedding is in three weeks at two in the afternoon...and the bride is Hermione Granger."
Severus looked to Lucius, waiting for the punch line of the joke.
"Granger? Are you serious?"
"We aren't joking Severus, Draco has twins with Hermione Granger and they plan to wed in three weeks."
Severus gave one final look to Lucius before passing out. Never did he picture Hermione and Draco together.
