Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I last updated but I'm pretty busy this semester! I should let you know that I am not a consistent updater but I always make up for it by adding several chapters if it's been more than a week since I last updated!

~Disclaimer: As usual I own nothing!

"Are you coming Mya?" Pansy asked as she stepped into her friend's office. They had moved to Australia not a day after the transformation. They bought a rather nice flat and began working for the hospital. In the two years they'd been there they rose within the ranks considerably. Hermione was now the best Children's healer in the country and Pansy was the head of the magical creatures ward.

"Yeah, let me finish up these papers" Hermione said as she finished signing a few of the papers before standing up and grabbing her coat. They walked together down to the boardwalk where their favorite café was.

"So, I got a letter from Narcissa yesterday" Pansy said smiling brightly. Hermione had cut all contact with her former friends after they graduated, and Pansy had for the most part. She still talked to Narcissa Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass.

"What did she have to say?" Hermione asked

"She asked me to her usual Easter tea, but I most likely will decline the invitation. I have no desire to spend my afternoon pretending to like the people there. She also said that Daphne and Draco are getting a divorce. Apparently Daphne cheated on Drake, he's left to raise his son Scorpius by himself because Daphne hates him"

"That's dreadful, poor kid, how old is he?" Hermione asked

"He's an infant; he was born just last year. Beautiful baby boy" Pansy said smiling "Astoria positively adores her nephew and is ready to kill her sister, she wrote me as well"

"Will she and Malfoy wed?" Hermione asked as she finished off her lunch.

"No, another reason for the separation is Draco came into his inheritance as well." Pansy said sighing "Though they were unaware the gene would activate. He's coming to see me later to determine if he is alright and to see if his son has the gene, though I think you'll have to look over the baby if you don't mind, I'm not good with infants"

"If that's you asking for help it was terrible" Hermione laughed "But I'll help you"

"Thanks Mya, so any luck finding your mate?" Pansy asked looking at her friend

"No, I still have another year," Hermione said sighing "Something is telling me to stay where I am and he'll come to me"

"Well, best of luck" Pansy said smiling

"What of you is there a man in your life?" Hermione teased

"Yes, his name is Andre, we've only gone out a couple of times but I really like him" Pansy said smiling

"I hope it works out, but we should head back, let me know when Malfoy and his son arrive" Hermione said paying for her meal. Pansy stood and did the same.

"Pansy?" The tall blonde man breathed spotting his childhood friend. The dark haired woman spun around and smiled brightly

"Draco! It's good to see you! How are you?" She greeted with enthusiasm.

"As good as can be expected" He said sighing

"I'm sorry about Daphne Drake," Pansy said smiling sadly at him "Now where is Scorpius"

"He's here" Draco said moving his cloak aside to reveal the sleeping infant

"He's so precious" Pansy gushed as she took the infant from his arms.

"This thing, won't hurt him will it, I won't hurt him"

"Draco, Scorpius is your son, even if his mother wasn't your mate you wouldn't love him any less. If anything your love and protectiveness of him will increase because of your instincts." Pansy reassured him. "Now, I've asked a college of mine from the children's ward to take a look at Scorpius, I'm not experienced working with children and I don't want to overload him with magic. She should be here soon"

"I'm here now Pansy" The woman that entered caught Draco's attention immediately. She smelled heavenly, like roses and rain. She was beautiful as well. Chocolate colored hair with dark red highlights that fell in spiral ringlets down her back, dark as night eyes and pale skin with a slight flush. Plump red lips and an ample hour glass figure.

"Right on time as usual Mya. Draco, this is Hermione Granger, the top healer in the children's ward. Mya, Draco Malfoy" Pansy said smiling

"Pans, you act as if we didn't go to school together for seven years" Hermione said rolling her eyes. But she had to admit Draco Malfoy had changed. He was beautiful, white blonde hair fell into his storm colored eyes; his skin was a healthy pale and his body a perfectly sculpted muscle. She breathed in satisfaction before turning her rapt attention to Pansy.

"Yes well, Hermione will take Scorpius and run the tests while I run the tests on you" Pansy said smiling. Hermione took the baby from Pansy and moved to the bed in the corner. She was careful to stay where Draco could see her and what she was doing. Some instinct in her body told her this was how she'd have to handle the situation. Hermione ran the standard tests and repressed a gasp as she noticed certain things. Once she was sure it was alright to continue she ran the other tests that Pansy requested, before turning back to Draco her eyes wide as she tenderly held the child. "Hermione?"

"Mr. Malfoy, are you aware that your son has been abused"

A bit short sorry! And a bit of sadness! Please review and hopefully I'll be able to update soon!
