Note: he finally asked her! This is the last chapter. I hope you liked this story it was really fun to write and I hoped you liked it.
It was seventeen years from the fateful day that Draco had asked Hermione to marry him. She had said yes to the applause of their friends and fellow students, before they had surprised everyone by accioing Draco's broom and flying off into the sunset. He had taken her flying that night and they hadn't come back till dawn. They spent hours under the stars holding each other and planning their future before coming back and making sweet tender love till the sun came out of the clouds. A month later they had a lavish wedding and everyone felt sad that Draco's family had been cruel and not shown up but he had made it clear he didn't care either way. Hermione had chosen a simple but modern gown that everyone agreed absolutely personified her while at the same time showing off how beautiful she was. Everyone had thought Draco would have worn the finest but he too had chosen something simple to show the start of his new life.
Their son had been raised wonderfully and everyone said he was the perfect balance between Hermione and Draco. The sorting hat hadn't decided where he would go and he almost surprised everyone with Ravenclaw, which Hermione and Draco had actually agreed would make sense and be fine, before choosing Gryfindor. Draco was slightly disappointed with that but never said anything. Though he knew Hermione knew how he felt as she teased him about it occasionally. He became close to Harry and Ginny's children as well as the rest of their friends children, and became extremely popular as well as earning the top marks of the school. He was Hermione and Draco's son through and through.
Despite what most thought not much else had really changed. Draco still had the same hair and mischievous eyes, his trademark smirk. Hermione was still a crusader for the right thing even helping the ministry come up with new laws for houselves and servants. Draco and Hermione both still fought from time to time but their love always persevered and they never gave up. After they began raising there son they were lucky enough to be blessed with three more children. Two girls and another son. They were attending Hogwarts as well. Emily was a third year, Elizabeth a fifth and Adam was a sixth. They were grateful to have the love and support of all their friends and were so proud of their children. They had all remained close and the children were best friends. Always watching each other's backs and helping whenever it was needed. It was very little take and a lot of give. Harry's daughter had even made head girl while Draco had been made head boy. Like father like son.
Hermione could tell their son was growing up and couldn't help but feel a little sad at the knowledge. She knew he'd be starting his life soon, and she had known for a while about his secret relationship with Harry's daughter. She had yet to tell his father although, she thought smiling, it wouldn't make a difference. He had thought the same thing that Hermione had when she fell for his father all those years ago, that it would cause problems if people knew that they had been enemies. The funny thing was, Draco and Harry had buried their problems years ago. So there was really nothing for them to be worried about. Hermione knew that the time would soon come when they announced that they were together. Hermione was just grateful that Draco and herself had done an excellent job of explaining protection and good decisions to their children. They were never disappointed with what had happened but they did agree they hadn't been smart.
She was correct. The time did come, on his graduation day. They were holding a party to celebrate and she noticed Draco and Lily holding hands and smiling at each other. His father noticed too because he came to Hermione's side and held her close.
"You knew didn't you?" His tone was gentle not accusatory.
She nodded smiling. "I didn't want to ruin the surprise. Do they remind you of anyone?"
He kissed her cheek, before offering a grin in return.
Looking back they noticed him leaning in for a kiss and they turned away not wanting to intrude on such a private moment. Her son tapped her shoulder a few minutes later and she smiled at him before asking what he needed.
"I'll be back for dinner there's something I need to do."
Nodding she told him that they'd wait and true to his word he was back in less than an hour and they noticed Lily was bubbly and blushing pink. Hermione also noticed something that apparently no one else had but she kept quiet not wanting to spoil it.
They had just made the toast when her son stood up and said quietly. "I have an announcement to make."
When all eyes were on him, he continued.
"Lily and I have been dating for a year," At this Harry and Ginny's heads swiveled toward Draco and Hermione who told them they hadn't known either. "And tonight I…"
He looked at Lily who smiled encouragingly and the gesture reminded Hermione so much of her and Draco that a tear fell.
Nodding he said, "I asked her to marry me and she said yes."
He quickly sat down and no one said anything until Ginny began sniffling and hugged Draco so hard they thought he'd pop. Immediately congratulations were uttered and the girls instantly wanted to hear the story.
"Well. I really had no idea how I was going to do it, but I got a really good idea of how I wanted to do it from a story. So I bought her ring and then got my broom and asked her to fly with me. Of course she was mad I wouldn't let her steer."
Here Ginny and Harry laughed and they heard him murmur, "That's my daughter for you."
While they were laughing Draco had turned to Hermione who had put her head on his shoulder. They knew that their son was repeating their story and it was sweet.
"When I finally got her to stop, I flew over the gardens and pulled out the ring before asking her to marry me and she almost fell off the broom."
Lily swatted him playfully. "I did no such thing. Thank you very much."
He smiled again before saying, "Were getting married in a month."
Hermione looked at Draco before kissing him softly. "Here we go again," She whispered smiling.
And that's it. I really hope you enjoyed this guys and thanks so much for reading!
