I had this slightly finished before I posted the first chapter which is why I m able to update so quick, please don t get too used to this like I have said before I am writing this during work, the minimum I aim to post will be once a month.
'You were right mum!'
'I normally am son, what about this time?'
'Thought you'd like to know that you are going to be a grandmother again'
'I knew it!! Didn't I tell you two that there was a glow about you Hermione? Congratulations. Oh, Hermione come here I'm so happy for you! How far along are you? Have you told Ty? Is it a boy or a girl? You know I'm always free for babysitting'
'We've only just found out ourselves, we are 7 weeks gone, we are going to tell Ty later tonight, we have no idea the sex of the baby, and yes we know that you are always free for babysitting and we love you for that.'
It had been a few days since Hermione and Draco had received their letters from their former school inviting them to their 10 year School reunion. 'I wonder what people will say when we walk in together.' Draco mused again over breakfast, 'Are we all going to mummy's old school?' Ty asked from his seat 'Would you like to go?' Draco asked his son, Ty nodded his head and Grace followed her brother's lead, 'Well isn't it lucky that you are all going then' Hermione beamed from the doorway overlooking her family, 'Woo, it is true that you have Dragons at Hogwarts mum?' Ty asked, Grace gasped her eyes widening 'dwagons!'
'There used to a baby dragon called Norbert that lived for a little while in Hagrid's cabin but then she had to be moved'
'Why'
'Well, Dragons are not meant to live in houses they need lots of open space, and they grow very big'
'Even bigger then dad?'
'Yes Ty, even bigger then dad'
'Cool!'
Hermione and Maggie Smith had been friends instantly, when Hermione came across the blonde crying alone in a park near her new home she couldn't help but approach her, after finding her boyfriend in bed with her younger sister on their 4 year anniversary; the slight witch had stunned both parties and fled. Hermione had taken this strange women home with her and after two bottles for vodka, lots of soul searching and many tears later they both knew that they would be friends for life.
'I can't believe you are going back!' exclaimed Maggie.
Hermione sat in the local coffee shop near Graces nursery. Across from her sat the stunning blonde.
'Mag, come on what is the worst that will happen?'
'I don't know what's the worst that could happen? How about you come back a broken shell like they left you in!' the short women exclaimed loudly.
'Maggie, calm down. You forget Draco will be with me.' Hermione informed her, Maggie huffed 'Well I guess that's okay'
Having finally calmed her friend Hermione went back to enjoying her drink it was a ritual for the pair now, every Monday morning they would drop Grace off at Nursery for 3 hours whist they had a drink caught up on the latest gossip, which more often than not involved Maggie's most recent conquest.
'So, tell me my dear muse what have you been up to.' Hermione asked, Maggie smiled wickedly before giving her a blow for blow detailed exchange of the previous night's escapade with a 'charming and cunning Mr Terry Hill.'
'You didn't!' Hermione exclaimed more than once hand covering her mouth holding in the laugh that wanted to escape her smiling lips. 'I did and he didn't even flinch. I still don't know if I'm impressed or disappointed' she confessed. 'Anyway how is our star Melissa getting on?'
'Well I'm stumped on the ending, do we want a happy settled women with a man who can match her or should she be the man hunter forever?' Hermione wondered aloud playing with her napkin, 'You'll figure it out chick; you've done this for all the others' She was reassured, and Hermione nodded. 12 o'clock came and Hermione left her friend and went to collect her daughter, 'Mummy mummy!' Grace beamed up at her; 'Hello Gracie' Hermione picked the child up and kissed her forehead before they headed home.
'Draco?' She called upon entering the front door, the only reason she called we because his robe was hanging up. She knew that he was wearing it before he left for the office but he shouldn't have been home until 5.45 as normal. 'Drake?' she called again 'Dadda?' Grace called copying her. 'Let sort you out first shall we,' Hermione organised herself. Feeding and reading with her daughter took up an hour and a half of her time but her little ball of energy soon fell asleep in the lounge.
She was then free to hunt for her husband. They had been together for eight years four of those spent as husband and wife, Draco Malfoy; the bane of her teenage year the lover of her adult years.
She found him in the first room she looked in; their bedroom, he was flat out on their bed dressed in only his boxers, she went over and laid down beside him. He looked so peaceful, his perfect lips slightly parted the way that both Grace and Ty's did when slept, his hair dishevelled Hermione just itched to brush the hairs away from his eyes 'It's rude to stare.' Draco whispered, Hermione screamed clutching her chest, 'I thought you were asleep?' She accused rattled slightly from shock,
'I was, I heard you coming up the stairs' he lazily threw one arm around her waist bringing her closer to him 'Why are you home so early, is everything okay?' Draco leant forward to place a soft kiss on her lips. 'Can't the boss go home early every once and awhile' he questioned,
'Yes a normal boss can, you on the other hand never do. So 'fess up, what are you doing?'
'I was doing some research.'
'What on?'
'On a few certain Gryffindor's'
'Oh.'
Hermione frowned at him, biting the side of her lip, Draco tighten his arm around her 'Would you care to know what I have found out?' he asked, the brunette in his arms nodded ever so slightly 'I have a file on your night stand that has everything you would want to know'
'So you came home to go to sleep so I could have a file.' She questioned after finding her voice again.
'Nope, I came home to grab a few hours sleep before I handed you that, then I will leave you here while I sort out the kids and dinner'
'You know I love you right?' Hermione mumbled before kissing him soundly on the lips,
'I know, I'll be downstairs if and when you need me'
