"So how'd dinner go?" Pansy asked smirking as she sat down lazily in one of Hermione's chairs.
"It went exceptionally well." Hermione said with a small smile, "I think I might've found my mate as well"
"Really? Was it Draco?" Pansy asked perking up at the mention of mates.
"I'm no so sure, I'm actually really confused, I was having a great time with Draco, I felt whole and complete like I've read a mate is supposed to make you feel but then one of his old school friends showed up. You remember Blaize Zabini" Hermione explained, Pansy nodded and motioned for Hermione to continue "Well all of a sudden the feelings increased to the point I almost jumped him right then and there"
"Oh dear, I was afraid of this, I'll be right back" Pansy said rushing out of the office leaving behind a confused Hermione. Pansy ran down to her office to find Draco sitting in front of her desk, a sleeping Scorpius in his carrier. "Drake"
"Pansy, I thought you said my mate was Granger!" He said not looking at her
"I'm guessing you had feelings for Blaize?"
"Yeah, I was not at all repulsed by the idea of having sex with him! I don't know how to take this Pansy!" He said sighing heavily
"Calm down Drake, it looks like your bond might be a trio." Pansy said softly "I suggest you start with Hermione, because she still has another year before she has to claim Blaize and you don't have that long"
"I think, that you should've told me as well Pansy" they both turned to see Hermione standing in the door way.
"I had to make sure, now that I know you two need to work things out." Pansy said sighing, "so go to Hermione's office and talk, I'll make Olivia cover your rounds today Hermione"
"Alright, come on" Hermione turned on her heel and began walking briskly towards her office. Draco picked up Scorpius and followed. "How long?"
"What?" Draco asked looking at her
"How long do you have? I need to know how much time I have before we start risking your life" Hermione said seriously
"You're not going to reject me flat out?" Draco looked at her startled
"No, I'm a veela too, I know that fear," Hermione said softly "It's just going to take some getting used to before we move to the marking, I'd like to take it as slow as possible but I refuse to put your life in danger"
"We have about half a year" He answered realizing she was serious.
"Then we have another half a year to get Blaize" Hermione sighed "I guess you should start with getting that divorce set up, it wont do anyone any good if we start before the divorce is final. While that happens lets just start getting to know each other,"
"Alright, I'll owl the minister tomorrow about the divorce, usually these take a while but because of my new heritage there might be an exception to the rules" He said sighing,
"There is no point in me staying here for the rest of the day, come on we'll head to the flat Pansy and I share and talk there" Hermione said standing up. She grabbed her things and grabbed hold of his arm. They disappeared with a pop and reappeared in the receiving room of their flat. She led them through the door into the living room.
"So why did you chose to move to Australia?"
"I came with Pansy after my transformation because this hospital offered me more than St. Mungo's" Hermione said softly "What do you do for a living?"
"I make brooms" He answered shrugging "And play quidditch, though I moved to reserve when Scor was born and all this crap with Daphne"
"You make brooms? I took you for taking over your father's company or something like that" Hermione said pouring him a glass of wine before pouring her own glass.
"I have no interest in Father's business, it's corrupt as all get out and I haven't the desire to clean it up. Broom making pays fair enough, it's more to give me something to do than anything else because it gets quite dull sitting around all day"
"That's right, you don't have to work"
"Not entirely, but I spent my entire childhood being a lazy bum, I actually would like to do something with my life" He said shrugging as he took a sip of his wine "Why did you chose healing? I pinned you for teaching or law enforcement."
"There wasn't a decision for me; I knew even in the muggle world that I'd be a healer." Hermione said shrugging "I studied muggle healing as well, some of their methods work better than ours actually. Of course I used a time turner with ministry permission so that I finished faster"
"So what do you do on your days off?" He asked looking at her
"Well Pansy and I usually take our days off together. We just hang out here and watch movies, I read while she goes on dates. I don't like to take days off, I really have nothing that I do outside of work. The veela thing just solidified that I really had no reason to go on dates. What about you?"
"I spend the day with Scor; sometimes I visit Theo and Astoria. But mostly I sit around with my mother and read while Scor plays with his toys." Draco said smiling as he looked down at his son.
"You know, it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would that not only do I have two mates, but I have a step son as well"
"Truthfully I'm worried about how Scor will fit into this" Draco said sighing
"It'll be difficult, but since he is still a baby this will be normal for him, it'll be good practice for when his change comes, he'll be prepared if the same happens to him" Hermione said softly "Don't worry so much, we'll make this work out"
"Shit, I didn't realize it had gotten so late" Draco cursed looking at the clock.
"You shouldn't leave this late, you can stay here tonight" Hermione said softly standing, She led him into a room that was of moderate size, she pulled out her wand and transfigured a chair into a small crib and a blanket into a pair of pajama's for Scorpius. Draco thanked her as he prepared his son for bed. He lay the baby down in the crib.
"I don't have an extra bed unfortunately so give me a second to transfigure the recliner" Hermione said as she disappeared. She levitated the recliner upstairs and sat it down. With a few quick spells she transformed the recliner into a bed.
"Night" He said kissing the top of her head on impulse.
"Night" She smiled before retreating down the hall to her own room
Well there it is! Some Draco/Hermione action! I hope you enjoyed and be looking for the next chapter!
