Hello readers! I am giving everyone a chapter because I am procrastinating doing the mountain of homework I've been given! So Please enjoy!
~Disclaimer: I own nothing see the previous chapters for more details!
PS. For some of my reviewers who have asked about writing chapters in others point of view, I am not ignoring your suggestions I have already written this story out completely and I'm posting chapters when i have time so please don't think I am just disregarding your suggestions I just don't have time to go back and rewrite things.
Hermione awoke the next morning to the sounds of giggles. She was warm, and felt like she was safe from harm. She tried to get up only to have an arm wrapped securely around her waist. She then realized she wasn't in her room. She was in her spare room that she'd let Draco use the night before. He was soundly asleep so she carefully removed his arm and walked over to the crib. Scorpius had pulled himself into a standing position and giggled at her. She motioned for him to be quiet as she picked him up and walked out of the room. She went to her room and propped Scorpius up on her bed while she changed for the day. She wore a pair of black dress pants and a dark emerald green sweater that hugged her figure and stopped just above her belly button. She pulled her hair into a messy bun and picked Scorpius up and walked downstairs. She quickly transfigured a highchair and gave him some dry cereal to munch on before preparing coffee and breakfast for herself and Draco. She smiled to herself as this just felt right. She still felt part of her was missing but she could survive with this life. She was happy at least.
"Morning" Draco mumbled as he made his way into the kitchen. Hermione pushed a cup of coffee into his hands before resuming setting the table for breakfast.
"GA!" Scorpius said waving his tiny hands at his father.
"Morning Scor" Draco greeted kissing the top of his sons head before sitting down.
"So Draco, what do you plan to do today?" Hermione asked sitting down as well.
"I have to go back to England and sort out this stupid divorce" Draco said sighing
"I wish you luck then" Hermione said softly
"Thanks, I'm going to need it" He said finishing up his breakfast. "Thanks for breakfast, but I've got an appointment at noon, so we should get going"
"You're welcome," Hermione said smiling as he gathered Scorpius's things and picked up his son who waved at Hermione. "Be good for your daddy"
"Granger, you know I'll be back right" He said looking her straight in the eyes. She nodded and kissed his cheek before grabbing her silver scarf off of the coat rack and wrapped it around his neck.
"It'll help you keep in control, since you'll be gone for a while" Hermione said smiling, he kissed her before disappearing.
"How are you darling," Narcissa Malfoy greeted her son with a pleasant smile. She hadn't been herself since the war but she was slowly getting better.
"I'm fine mother; Pansy did an excellent job, no repercussions from marrying Daphne. She had a colleague check out Scorpius and found something quite revolting"
"What is wrong with my grandchild" Narcissa said scooping the infant into her arms.
"He carries the gene, but it's too early to tell if it will be dormant or not, and a woman has been abusing him for at least six months now" He said softly. His mother looked positively livid. Though Draco didn't quite trust her mental stability to be alone with her grandson, he knew that she loved the child, possibly more than she loved him.
"That…that…I don't even have a word for her! How dare she lay a hand on my little Scorpion" She said looking at the infant in her arms who played happily with her necklace.
"Though I'm sure it was her, we can't know for sure until we get certain information from her. I also found my mate mother, I have two"
"What do tell what happened?" Narcissa asked sitting down and sending for tea as she sat Scorpius on the floor with his toys.
"Well, Scor actually claimed my first mate. She was the colleague that Pansy brought in to look him over. She is a veela as well, it turns out we are a rare trio because she has a mate as well" He said sighing "I'm still trying to wrap my head around it"
"Well who are they and do they know? Do I know them?"
"You know both of them, they both attended Hogwarts with me, Hermione Granger and Blaize Zabini. Hermione knows but we've both decided to establish our relationship before bringing Blaize into it." Draco said sighing
"Ms. Granger, I was unaware that muggles carried the veela gene" Narcissa said thoughtfully.
"I don't know, I didn't think to ask about her family. We mostly talked about each other, she knows about Daphne and the divorce since she brought up pressing charges against the abuse." Draco said sighing
"Is that Draco?" The familiar drawl of Lucius Malfoy spoke as he entered the room. The war had not been kind to the older man. It turns out threats to his wife and son could change a man into an evil bastard. He lucked out of a sentence in Azkaban and given house arrest for a good while and would be closely monitored for the rest of his life.
"Father" Draco greeted
"This came for you yesterday; it seems Daphne is adding demands to your divorce. You have court tomorrow. I wrote the minister when you came into your inheritance and he is speeding up your divorce so that you can get on with finding your true mate" Lucius said handing the letter over.
"I found my mates already Father" Draco said looking at Lucius
"Mates?"
"Yes, it seems my mate is a veela and has a mate of her own, we are the third recorded trio" He said sighing "The female mate knows already and we are waiting on the male so that we can settle our relationship"
"Since you are omitting names, you think I'm not going to like this. Draco, we knew when you came into your heritage that anyone could be your mate. I've come to terms that this could mean any blood status, gender or wealth. I've even come to terms that it might even mean a Weasley"
"You're in luck father, it isn't a Weasley. My female mate is the best children's healer in Australia, you remember Hermione Granger." Draco said looking at his father
"That is acceptable; I recall she was top of your year correct?" Lucius said contemplating the young witch. Draco nodded to indicate that he was correct. "And the male?"
"I'm sure you remember Blaize?" Draco said looking at his father
"Yes, Arachna's son, very well" Lucius said nodding "Will Ms. Granger be at the trail?"
"Possibly, there was some evidence discovered that will help us should Daphne fight for custody and she said that she would testify if it came down to it" Draco said reading through the list of demands
I hope you enjoyed! I do believe someone asked about Hermione's family since she is a veela and a muggleborn, I have yet to answer because it will be answered soon! Please review if you have to time to do so I would much enjoy reading your thoughts!
