The three weeks had passed fast for Hermione, she could feel the tension building up in her and to get over this she found herself imaging the worst case scenario so she could prepare herself. Draco was not helping much no matter how hard he tried, he knew that she had to go through the logical process of every outcome and he just had to be patient

The night before they were to go back to their former school Draco and Hermione lay in bed, her head resting on his pale shoulder 'Are you excited?' she asked her husband reaching for his hand and playing with his wedding band. She left him take a deep breathe a sigh, 'I guess, it would be good to get back in contact with some people and the kids will love Hagrid.' He added making Hermione smiled looking up at him, 'They will won't they.'

He kissed the top of her head, interlocking their fingers. 'Do you remember to first time you saw him?' Draco asked her. 'I knew that he was part giant straight away.' Hermione laughed as the memory came flooding back to her, 'Of course you did, now try and get some sleep you'll need it tomorrow.' Draco advised pulling her closer.


Today was the day!

Hermione could barely sit still; she had packed all their clothes, made sure Grace and Ty had their favourite toys, and then repacked, 'Hermione Malfoy if you do not stop pacing. You'll wear a hole in the carpet.' Draco informed her, she stopped.

The plan was for Draco to go up to Hogwarts first with the kids. It was noted that any guest with young children could us the schools facilities. Parents could drop children off from 6 o'clock in the old Charms class from which had been transformed to be young children friendly. They would be looked after until the following morning when parents were due to collect them Draco would be dropping them at the crèche then come back for Hermione a little while later.

'I am trying to be calm, I really am.' Hermione told her husband wringing her hands in front of her, Draco came over from the door way and put his hands on her shoulders, 'You have no need to worry. I will be with near you the whole night, everything will be fine.' He reassured her before placing a loving kiss on her lips, Hermione's eyes fluttered shut and she sighed.

'I'm looking forward to seeing you in that dress.' He confessed in a way that had Hermione blushing. Hermione had gone shopping the week before hand for a dress, Maggie gave her normal input of ~ if you got it flaunt it~ but Hermione had spotted the perfect cocktail dress for the evening, it was a light brown with a nipped-in waist and full skirt, it gave her an amazing hourglass figure which made her buy it then and there.

'Get going you mister!' Hermione commanded of him, her husband simply smiled and left the room calling for his children to grab their cloaks. Taking a deep breath she steadied herself, oh what she wouldn't give for a glass of wine to take the edge off; blast the pregnancy and it's no drinking rules!


8.45pm

Hermione arrived on her husband's arm dressed in her new gown she quickly took in the people around her 'You're going to get a crick in your neck if you keep looking around like that.' Draco whispered to her. They had arrived in the near empty courtyard 'Miss Granger?' someone asked from behind her.

Hermione spun around and came face to face with her former head of house 'Professor McGonagall? Oh my word, how are you?' Hermione asked leaving her husband's side to embrace her role model 'I think you have earned the right to call me Minerva by now Hermione.' The older women smile breaking the embrace and looking over Hermione 'I did not think you would come. I was very surprised when I got your reply however I am over the moon that my star pupil has returned.' Ginning Hermione took a step back 'Mr. Malfoy.' The normally severe-looking woman had just noticed the man standing behind Hermione 'Professor.' He greeted respectfully.

'Did you two arrive together?' McGonagall asked Hermione nodded 'Well we are married so thought it would be the best thing to do.' She replied the women before her paled 'You two are married?' she looked confused Draco placed his hand on the small of Hermione's back 'Yes, have been for quite a few years now with two soon to be three beautiful children. Should we make a move inside?' Draco asked Hermione who agreed 'We'll see you inside?' Hermione asked the other women 'Yes.' Was the curt reply.


Once they were out of earshot of her professor Hermione burst out laughing, 'Her face, I think we may have just stumped the unstumpable Professor McGonagall!' Draco smirked at her, they made their way up to the school, the lights were on in the Hall and the music could be heard over the loud voices she was surprised that they had not bumped into anyone, but then Draco had said that the day care service was busy, it seemed like the Malfoy family had been one of the last to turn up.

The couple made their way down the halls and corridors lost in memories from years past, before the last corner that would bring them into the Hall Draco stopped Hermione, 'You have to go in there without me my love,' he said simply Hermione's face dropped and she felt herself start to panic 'Why? Where will you be? Why are you leaving me?' Draco cupped her face to stop the flow of words that flew out of her mouth

'I will be here, with you. Always.' He stated 'But, you have to walk in there as Hermione Granger the girl who helped all of them be around to be here today not Hermione Malfoy; well not just yet.' He smiled using his thumb to trace her lips 'I will only be a few steps behind you; you won't be out of my sight. Trust me Hermione you need to do this.'

And she did, just like that she knew that he was right, 'What would I do without you?' she asked, Draco lent into her and kissed her. 'You'll fall part I have no idea how you've done all the things you've done without me!' Hermione laughed then taking a deep breath she stepped out of the contact.

Making her way around the corner Hermione could hear the music louder than before she stepped into the light from the room. The Great Hall was as it had always, the roof showed the darkening sky outside running the length of the room were the four house tables where they always were. The Great Hall was full with people in elegant gowns, Hermione could sense Draco a few feet behind and she took great strength from this so she walked on, as soon as she stepped through the huge door she gasped, oh how she missed this place!


The first person who she recognised was Neville Longbottom, he seemed to have changed from his school years the short and plump boy was replaced with a short lean man, he was standing talking to a group of women and Hermione couldn't help the smile and graced her face. Neville had definitely changed for the better, as if feeling someone watching him he turned around and looked at Hermione not seeming to recognise her he started to turn his head back to the ladies around him but then his head snapped in her direction, quickly excusing himself he made his way to the back of the Hall where Hermione stood a goofy grin on his face.

'It is you!' he exclaimed he grabbed Hermione around the waist and span her around laughing Hermione was placed back on the ground 'Hello Neville.' She mumbled as she was crushed in a bear hug 'Oh my Merlin! Where have you been? Do Harry and Ron know you're here? Why did you leave? What have you been doing?' He bombarded her with question after question. 'Neville calm down, I'm fine I just needed a break that's all.'

'But it's been years!' he stated again 'What do you do?'

'I'm a writer.' She confessed Neville just nodded.

'Anything I might have read?' he asked, Hermione smiled thinking about it,

'I don't believe so but never mind me look at you! What have you been up to?' she asked trying to move the focus away from herself, he took the bait for the next 20 minutes she was informed of his fame after the battle of Hogwarts, his grandmother death, how he was now working towards being a Herbology professor.

As he talked Hermione took the time to look around at the other people that gathered in the Great Hall, Draco was in a conversation with his former house mate Pansy Parkinson, her eyes narrowed as she noticed the women flaunting herself her husband, the only reason she stayed talking to Neville and not scratch out the women's eyes was the bored look on Draco's face.


'Oh look, there are Ron, Harry and Ginny.' Neville's words snapped her attention back to his and where he was looking. At the centre of the room stood the three people who she has spent years missing and years avoiding. Ron stood the tallest his ginger hair longer than she had even seen it, it reached the collar of his shirt he looked sun kissed next to his stood Harry shorter than his best friend he looked exactly the same as he had all those years ago, Hermione couldn't spot Ginny as she stood behind Harry.

Without thinking about it Hermione started to move towards the three who stood within the biggest group of people, she could hear the commotion she was causing, hearing parts of broken off conversation people calling her name but she didn't stop.

They must have heard what people were saying for Harry and Ron both turned around at the same time. Ron frowned his jaw clenched whilst Harry flushed. Everything seemed to slow down. She reached them, her guys her best friends. Standing a few feet from them Hermione was able to notice the things that she didn't from far away.

Harry looked older than his years, there were lines on the corner of his eye and he wasn't even thirty yet, she could tell just by looking at him that he didn't have that easy smile anymore. Ron had beefed up, his physical job demanding his muscles improve. 'Hi.' She whispered. Of all the things that happened next Hermione just hadn't thought of it and she had thought of about this moment on and off for the last 9 years.

Stepping between the two men was Ginny Potter who had ballooned in size her eyes turned into slits as she stared at Hermione, the glass of wine that was in her chubby hand was throw over Hermione at the same moment that Ronald Weasley spat at her.

Before Hermione could fully process what had happened Draco had Ron on the floor his wand pointed to the red heads throat 'Disrespect my wife again Weasley and I'll fucking murder you.'
