After dropping her son off at school Hermione headed to a small cafe in Diagon Alley. As soon as she walked in the witch behind the counter greeted her and asked if she would like the usual. With a small smile she replied with a yes and took her seat in the corner booth. Shorty after she sat down a young wizard brought out her apple fritter and a cup of Earle gray tea sweetened. After thanking the young man and paying him she set out to start working. Hermione was a top class negotiator. She had negotiated many deals between the wizarding world and the Muggle world as well as with many Magical Creature groups. Her big project at the moment was working with the Ministry and the Muggle government to allow Muggle born children to be able to attend the new grade school before attending Hogwarts. This was a very important issue to her as she felt that it would have been very useful for her when she was younger. As she wrote out her presentation she couldn't help but feel extremely confident they would get this deal to pass.
Ginny smiled softly as she dropped off her two boys, James and Albus, at grade school. She loved her two boys but between them and a fussy infant she was glad they spent most of their day at school. James was 5 years old and was in his first year at the school while Albus was only 3. He did not attend the actual school, but the school also offered a daycare service. While dropping the boys off with her sister in law, Lavender who was there dropping off her oldest Rose who like James was 5 years old though a few months younger, they noticed a witch dropping off a brilliant blonde haired boy.
"That witch looked very familiar" Ginny told Lavender as they headed back to the apparition point before going to the burrow for the afternoon. Lavender nodded in agreement but neither questioned it further. Once they had arrived at the burrow the ladies greeted Molly with hugs and kisses before settling down in the front room to chit chat.
"James received an invitation to a birthday party in two weeks time. The invitation doesn't say much other than that it is a Super hero themed party for a bit named Scorpious. " Ginny told her sister in law as Molly came in with a tray of tea and biscuits.
"Rose received one of those too, we haven't RSVPed yet but I'm not sure we are going." Lavender replied "Though it would be nice to spend time with other parents. It's lonely with only two couples" she continued. Ginny smiled and nodded in agreement.
" Well I do believe we will be going. James has not stopped talking about the party since he was invited. " The redhead said as she reached for her cup. Lavender smiled and told her that they would go too.
After agreeing they would go the two witches filled out the RSVP cards and owled them to the address on the card. The rest of the afternoon went by smoothly until it was time to pick up the kids.
Draco sat at his desk with papers spread everywhere. It was time for him to do the quarterly budget and find out which companies were profiting and which ones were not. So far he had 6 companies that were falling below the line while he had 15 that were exceeding expectations and 4 that were right at expectation. After sorting through all the files and pulling out the files for the 6 companies that were failing he proceeded to draw up contracts to sell them. He already had a few buyers interested a few of theses companies. He set about drawing up those contracts first before sending owls to the interested parties. Just as he was finishing up his last contract his secretary popped her head in.
"Mr. Malfoy, your wife is here to see you" he nodded at the witch and proceeded to use magic to clean up his desk. Hermione walked in carrying a large bag of food.
"I've brought you lunch. I do hope it is not to cold I went to your favorite Muggle Chinese restaurant." She told him as shed placed the bag on the table and proceed to pull out the continents. Smiling at his wife Draco couldn't help but just stare. She looked different from when they first met but he still loved looking at her. Even more so now that she was carrying his second child. He told her he was sure it was fine after she pulled everything out. The couple ate their lunch in quiet just enjoying each other's company. After they finished Draco cleaned up their mess and they talked more about their son's party.
"Well I received to more RSVPs for two children. I have also gotten a Batman impersonator. He is actually a Muggle born we went to school with. Eddie something I can not remember his last name for the life of me, but I believe he was in Hufflepuff. He uses magic to help himself scale walls and fly around. Your mother instead he get a dragon tamer for the partt but I got her to finally agree that Scorpious is to young for that. " She told her husband as she sat on his lap. Smiling Draco wrapped his arms around his gorgeous wife and listened to her talk about all the things she had gotten set up for the party. After listening to Hermione talk about the party Draco told her about the companies he had to sell today and the ideas he had for new companies to buy. After talking for a while they both noticed the time and decided to call it an early workday. After apparating to the garage where the Muggle garage where Hermione had parked her car they went to pick up their son and went to get ice cream before heading home.
The Potter's were spending a quiet evening at home enjoying a meal that Ginny had made. As they all say around the table Harry asked the kids how their day was and if the had learned anything at school. James was thrilled to talk about his day and spent the next twenty minutes explaining all abbput what he learned in glass that day and how he and his friend Scorpious had played hide and seek with the class at recess.
"Speaking of your friend Scorpious" Ginny interrupted "I have sent out that we will be attending is party with Rose." She looked to Harry to be sure he ad heard her before continuing to tell James that he would only get to go if he behaved and wasn't mean to his little brother. He agreed eagerly and couldn't wait to get to school tomorrow to tell Scorpious he could go. After the family had finished their meals Harry took James and Albus up to take their bathes and get ready for bed. After about thirty minutes and a soaking wet Harry later the kids were bathed and ready for bed.
"Good night boys" Harry told his sons as he tucked them in. Shortly after Ginny came up to read them a short story. With both boys fast asleep and Lily sleeping peacefully in her crib both parents soon found themselves asleep as well.
