Hey everyone! So, I've read your reviews, and, upon the request you guys made (especially from ) I have decided to make an epilogue-ish chapter! Like an alternate-ending of some sort! Or even just finalizing the story! So, here it is! Sorry if it seems kind of…rushed X(. Enjoy!


"Draco, I want a divorce" said Astoria as she walked into the library where Draco was reading The Daily Prophet.

"Hm?" said Draco, not looking up from the paper. Astoria sighed exasperatedly.

"See, this is one of the reasons why I want a divorce, Draco! You never listen to me when I'm talking to you! Like you are doing right now!" She went and snatched the paper out of Draco's hands, ripping it in half.

Draco sighed and looked at her. "Fine, you have my undivided attention, Astoria. What the devil is on your bloody mind now?"

Astoria turned red with rage. "UGH! I WANT A FUCKING DIVORCE, DRACO!"

"Now, now, no need to yell, dear. It makes you highly unattractive…well, a lot of things do, but that's not the point" said Draco, trying not to laugh. "Now, go on about this…divorce you say you want."

Astoria stared at Draco in disbelief. "I cannot stand living with you anymore! I feel my blood boiling every time I'm forced to talk to you about anything! You never listen to me, never pay attention to me. I might as well be married to that chair you are sitting in!"

"If you want so much attention, Astoria, go out and buy yourself a puppy" said Draco, repairing the newspaper Astoria ripped up, charming it to fly towards him and hiding behind it. "I have more important things to give my attention to, like those scrimmage Quidditch matches I have with the boys, or going out to Diagon Alley and going to Flourish and Blotts to buy a new book to read, or eating the food our House Elves place on our tables. Maybe if you would stop being so selfish and egotistical, you would come to realize that the world does not revolve around you."

"Draco, I don't want to be married to you anymore" said Astoria almost pleadingly. "I don't care that our parents betrothed us since we were born. I don't love you, and I know you don't love me. Let's just get the divorce. We'd be happier."

"Fine" sighed Draco. "Go and do what you want, Astoria."

Astoria looked at him shockingly. "So…I can go file for a divorce?"

"I said do what you want\."

"Okay…I'm going to file for a divorce…"

"Have fun."

"I'm going right now…"

"Swell…"

"…I'm walking out the door."

"Don't hurt yourself on the way out."

"ARGH!" exclaimed Astoria.

"Tell Nott he'll be in for a life full of irritation and hair-pulling once you guys start living together after our divorce" called out Draco as Astoria finally Disapparated out of the room.

...

5 years later…

"Fancy meeting you here, Weasley" said a deep voice behind Hermione, making her jump as she waited in the long line at the ice cream parlor. She turned to find Draco smirking down at her.

"Draco! What are you doing here?" she asked startlingly.

"Well, seeing as how Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor is the only place to get ice cream in Diagon Alley, I decided to pop in."

"Oh, right, of course" said Hermione, blushing. "Oh, and it's not 'Weasley' anymore…" she said, looking away.

"Oh, really? I am curious to know the reason behind the sudden change in your surname" said Draco curiously.

"It- it just didn't work out anymore. We…tried making it work, and then we had Rose, so we tried even harder, and then we had Hugo. It was…so hard to explain to them that mummy and daddy didn't love each other anymore, and that we weren't happy with each other. Hugo took it rather hard, but Rose, being the bright girl she is, she took it understandingly." Hermione let out a sigh, as if she had been holding her breath. She smiled at Draco. "So now, Ron and I are divorced, but we are still best friends. We both get equal custody of the kids, and we both spend a lot of time with them. Everything is…okay now."

Draco stared at Hermione, and then smiled. "Well, that's great to hear, Hermione. I'm really, really glad you're happy now."

"Thank you, Draco" she said, smiling. "Well, enough about me. What about you? How is your marriage with Astoria?"

"Ah, it seems we have both chosen the path of separation from our spouses" said Draco, smirking. "Astoria practically begged me for a divorce. It was quite entertaining, watching her fume and rage for my approval when she could have simply gone and file for a divorce whenever she wanted to."

Hermione laughed. "You didn't make life easy for her, did you? Couldn't you have at least tried to work it out? Just a little?"

"Hermione, see, what you don't understand is that I have despised that woman since our days in Hogwarts. I thought her sister, Daphne, was a horror, but Astoria makes Pansy seem like an enjoyable woman! You knew that I could find no way to get out of the marriage, so, instead of moping around and hating the world, as my lovely ex-wife did, I decided to have a little fun in making her life with me a living hell! Honestly, I thought she would have lasted longer! Merlin, you should have seen her face when I ignored her request for a divorce!"

Hermione and Draco both laughed at the mental image of Astoria's reaction to Draco's ignorance.

"So, you both are officially divorced now as well?" asked Hermione, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Yeah, finally finished all the paperwork. The only thing I'm fighting for now is for the custody of little Scorpius."

"Oh! You have a son?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, he's about 5 right now. At first, when Astoria told me she was pregnant, I didn't believe the baby was mine. See, she had been having an affair with Theodore Nott for years. I was pretty sure the baby was his, until he was born. Scorpius had my hair, my nose, my eyes, even my smirk, if you could believe it!"

"He must be a very dashing young boy then" said Hermione.

"Well, of course," said Draco haughtily, "He's my son! The Malfoy lineage has always produced a line of extremely handsome men."

"Well I can't deny that" said Hermione sarcastically. "But, anyway, you're fighting for custody of him?"

Draco's smile slid off his face. "Yeah, apparently from what Scorpius has managed to tell me, and from what I've seen, Astoria is a very neglectful mother, which doesn't surprise me. I don't want him living with a mother like that. I want him to live with me, to get all the attention and love he needs."

"That's very…noble and admirable, Draco" said Hermione, smiling. "I hope things go well for you in the end."

"Thanks, Hermione. That means a lot, coming from you." They stared at each other for what seemed like hours, until the lady working the front of the counter called for their attention.

"I can help the next person in line!" she called out, looking at Hermione. Hermione gave a start and turned to face the lady.

"Er, can I have a Strawberry Sunday, please!" said Hermione.

"That'll be 7 Sickles, please" said the lady. Hermione fished in her purse for her money when a hand slapped down a Galleon on the counter.

"Make that two Strawberry Sundays, please" said Draco. Hermione looked at him surprisingly.

"What are you doing? I can pay for my own Sunday, you know."

"I know! I am just asking you out for an ice cream date in a very subtle way" said Draco, raising an eyebrow and smirking down at her. "What do you say?"

Hermione looked deep into Draco's eyes and smiled kindly. "Well, how can I say no?"

Draco looked into her eyes for a few seconds, and then risked the chance of kissing Hermione lightly on the lips. He looked down at her and saw her smile at the kiss, her cheeks turning a light pink. Maybe…maybe now we can actually have something…become something…Merlin, she looks beautiful, he thought as the lady put down two Strawberry Sundays on the counter. He grabbed both their Sundays and held out his arm. She linked her arm through his, and they walked out of the Ice Cream Parlor, together.
