Here is the next chapter, this was going to be one long one but i decided to do it in three shorter ones, you'll understand when reading it :)
Now I'm sorry for taking a long time to upload but I've been struggling to write for this story another reason why this particular chapter has been split in 3. Please Enjoy!
Starting with Grangers
"Draco, Blaise it's time to go to my parents!" It was Hermione's favourite time of the year: Christmas. They had decided to visit each other's parents for this year. They would start with Hermione's then for dinner they would visit Draco's and then in the mid-afternoon they would travel to Blaise's, finally they would return home and spend the rest of their day together.
"Still think this is a stupid idea," mumbled Draco he hadn't planned to spend the day in the castle. But he wanted to avoid the Muggle World. He had nothing against Mr and Mrs Granger but the idea of spending some of Christmas in the Muggle world terrified him. He wasn't as fascinated in Muggle things like Blaise was and he was absolutely sure something would kill him. Like them cars.
"I don't care if you think it's a stupid idea Draco Malfoy Zabini we are going and that is that," Hermione put her foot down and spun heading into the living room to pick up her parents presents.
From his left he heard Blaise laughing but the scowl he sent in his way never halted the Italians laughter.
"Knock it off Blaise," he finally frowned.
"Stop sulking Draco, you're not thinking on the positive note!" confused at his husbands words he raised a perfect blonde eyebrow. "It's simple we're going to the Muggle World where Hermione was raised, and I'm sure if we asked her parents very nicely we'd get to see Hermione's baby pictures," as soon as Blaise said baby pictures a giant grin formed on Draco's face, he had not thought of that but was now looking forward to visiting the Muggle World.
"Hermione love when are we going to see your parents?"
"In a few minutes Draco, but you seem to have changed your tune about going to the Muggle World, why?"
"No reason, I just want to get it over with,"
"I'm on to you Draco,"
Both boys smirked and her suspicions were getting worse. She knew they were up to something but couldn't figure out what. Shrinking the presents for all six parents she placed them in her bag.
The trio left the house and headed to the floo portals that were on the far side of the village, this was a new instalment to the village so now students could come and go like everyday life. Hermione stepped in to fire place first, clearly saying the Grangers and disappeared in a roar of fire. Blaise followed behind leaving Draco to follow the rear.
The Grangers house was a simple but decorative 2 bedroom semi-detached. The main room was full of Christmas spirit with a large Christmas tree filling an entire corner covered in coloured tinsel and decorations. As the two males observed the room they were mildly surprised on how Muggles decorated their homes. They knew that Dumbledore attempted to copy but seeing a real Muggle house full of festive they decided that Dumbledore needed to tweak his ideas if he wanted it to be as Muggle as possible.
"Hello Hermione dear, Draco, Blaise, I'm so glad you could make it." said Mrs Granger stepping through the door. Walking towards her mother she was wrapped her in her arms giving her a tight hug.
"It's nice to be here mum,"
"Thank you for having us over Mrs Granger," said Draco.
"Please, call me Jane," nodding his head he sat on the sofa as Hermione and Jane continued to speak. They had decided to visit the Grangers at half 9 and would leave at half 11, they would go straight to Draco's parents' house and leave at half 2, after this they'd make their way to Blaise's and stay until half 5. The rest of the day would be spent with one another.
Allan had now walked into the living room with a black bag; he placed the bag on the floor before sitting down on the arm chair rolling his at eyes at Draco and Blaise indicating to Hermione and her mother. The two boys smirked understanding what he was on about.
"Hello dad," said Hermione as her mother left the room to collect drinks. She wrapped her arms around her father's neck. He hugged her back and then told her to go sit on the couch. Doing as she was told she sat next to Draco and gave his hand a quick squeeze.
Draco looked behind his shoulder and smirked over at Blaise they were both thinking the same thing. As Jane walked back in with the tray of drinks she set them on the table and everyone took a drink.
Clearing his throat Draco addressed Jane, "Erm Blaise and I have been wondering whether you have any pictures of Hermione when she was younger," whereas Jane and Allen smirked at the request, Hermione turned around to face them shocked.
"So that was why you suddenly wanted me to hurry up so we could come here," scowled Hermione; however the two Slytherins looked at her and smirked.
Hermione hadn't noticed her mother leave the room but when she turned away from Draco and Blaise her eyes widened trying to find her mother.
A few minutes later Jane walked down the stairs with a purple book in her hand. She handed the book over to Draco and he shared it between himself and Blaise.
"Mum did you have to give them that!" whispered Hermione.
"Sure, they're your husband's Hermione. I'd be surprised if their parents didn't show you one of them," Explained Jane. Hermione grinned at the sudden thought of asking Lucius or Narcissa to see Draco's baby pictures.
"Hermione you were so cute," chuckled Blaise as they opened the first page to see a toddler version of Hermione trying to place her foot in her mouth. She was dressed only in a nappy. Hermione felt her cheeks enflame as she saw the picture.
The next page was turned and her cheeks darkened even more at the image of her in the bath with a rubber duck and a toy boat.
"Mother I am beginning to hate you right now," she mumbled staring at the image. She was surprised that they hadn't prodded the image to make it move yet.
She groaned as Blaise turned the page to her first birthday party.
"Do you remember her first birthday Allan," asked Jane.
He nodded his head chuckling, "we shouldn't have given her a chocolate cake if I remember correctly." Hermione blushed, the tale they were discussing was in fact the picture that Blaise had turned on to. She was sat in a high chair her face and hands covered in chocolate cake she was grinning toothily at the camera.
"I was always told that cake was meant to go in your mouth not anywhere else," teased Draco. They continued to look at the images in the book; Draco and Blaise had the same 'favourite' photograph. Hermione was fast asleep cuddling up to a teddy with her thumb in her mouth she wore a pair of green pyjamas with a large duck on the front. Her bushy hair lay on the pillow.
The time had flown by and it was now nearing half 11. The last thing to do was hand out the Christmas presents. Draco and Blaise both received a stylish Muggle watch they were pleasantly surprised and thanked both the Grangers for their gifts. Hermione received a box set of Jewellery with an emerald gem in the necklace, ring and earrings. All three were happy with her gift; Draco and Blaise for the colour and Hermione because of the style, which she loved.
They had given Allan a set of books that cost hundreds of Galleons; Hermione had inherited her father's passion for reading. The books were the first series of 2; they consisted of the most famous dead wizards/witches of the past. There were 5 books in each series. The first set consisted of Merlin, Morgana, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff and Nicholas Flamel. Flamel had died a few months after the Philosophers stone was destroyed. The rumours of the second series entitled that Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Lord Voldermort were to be written it had not been mentioned who else would be written about.
The final gift was for Jane, they had gotten her a selection of eagle quills and a never ending inkpot, they decided to get her this because she now worked at Hogwarts she needed quills and ink, after the years of living in the Wizarding World the most annoying thing would be to run out of ink half way through a lesson and not be able to collect anything until you next visited Hogsmeade.
The time went by quickly and before long it was half eleven.
"We should be off now mum, we said we'd be at Malfoy Manor for half 11, thank you for having us over, it has been lovely," said Hermione hugging her mother.
"It's been a pleasure sweet heart; I just can't believe you have grown up and gotten married," said Jane hugging her daughter back.
As the two women said their goodbyes, Allen held out his hand for Draco and Blaise to shake, "It's been nice having you both over, but do me a favour and look after her," the two boys nodded both shaking his hand. Together they walked on over to the fireplace with final goodbye they disappeared through the fireplace one by one.
The grammar for this chapter is pretty bad i think, but it does flow slightly so maybe it'll be alright. Please review, favourite, alert :)
Catch ya later :)
