Sorry it's been so long! The Over the River and Through the Woods song fails to mention that Gramma's house doesn't have wi-fi.

Hermione's POV

I was finally able to sleep in for once, it was so nice. I was planning to sleep till at least noon since I had a day off of work but if there's something I should have learned in my life it's that things never go as planned.

"HERMIONE!" Ron's voice woke me up from my happy dreams, it was way to early for me to be getting up. "HERMIONE!" he ran upstairs, waving around what looked like the Daily Prophet.

"What is it Ronald?" I asked, my voice was sleeping but still laced with annoyance.

"Have you seen the Prophet today!" he demanded,

"No, I've been sleeping all morning" it was hard to sound annoyed anymore because I was trying not to laugh, his face was redder then his hair.

"Well look!" he tossed me the newspaper, it landed on my lap and I gasped, for once speechless. "Can you believe this 'Mione!" Ron was absolutely raging.

"M-Maybe it's a misunderstanding…" I said but I knew it was true, to be honest I pushed what I saw between Harry and Malfoy to the least traveled portions of my mind in respect for Harry's privacy. I tried never to think about it again but now I felt terrible, maybe if I had done more back then they wouldn't have to go through this now. I felt guilty but at the same time I was angry, Harry had lied to me! He said they were done! I wanted to hex him so bad!

"They have a picture!" Ron yelled.

"Why don't we calm down and floo over there." Yeah that sounded like a good idea. Releasing Ron on him would be better then any hex out there.

"Yeah…YEAH! Lets do that!" Ron said and ran towards the fireplace.

"Wait!" I called, going after him and grabbing his arm.

"What! 'Mione hurry up!"

"Put on some pants first" I sighed exasperated and he looked down, he was wearing just some Gryffindor boxers I had gotten him as a gag gift last Christmas.

"Oh" he ran back to our room.

After about ten minutes Ron and I flooed to Harry's. We appeared in the living room where we saw Scorpius and Albus sitting together in a corner talking in hushed tones and sitting on the sofa was none other then Draco Malfoy himself. Before I could move Ron had whipped out his wand and was charging towards our school time rival. I was actually quite impressed with that speed.

"YOU SLIMY GIT FACED-" Ron bellowed his wand shoved into Malfoy's face.

"Potter come get your pet" Malfoy called in almost a bored voice, Harry poking his head out of the kitchen.

"Ron-"

"No!" Ron turned on Harry "How could you do that to my sister mate!"

"Its just a big misunderstanding" Harry said slowly, his hands in the air to show surrender.

"I saw the picture myself!"

"It wasn't Malfoy and I"

"Bloody hell it wasn't!"

"It was Al and I sir." Scorpius stood up and Ron turned around, obviously just noticing the two teenagers.

"What?" he asked.

"It was Al and I in that field. That geezer Skeeter is so blind she thought it was my and Al's dad." Scorpius said politely. It was still a wonder how different his personality was from his fathers.

"Look at the picture Uncle Ron" Albus showed him the news paper and I looked over Ron's shoulder to give it a closer inspection, it was rather blurry.

Ron looked back to Harry "But-but then what is he doing here?" he pointed at Malfoy.

"Trying to get this mess sorted out! What the hell do you think? Me with a Potter, how revolting" Malfoy gagged. I admit I would have been fooled by all this had I not already known the truth, I felt Ron relaxing and I knew he believed them. Contrary to popular belief Ron wasn't stupid, in fact he was quite brilliant he was just trusting, he didn't believe that Harry of all people would lie to him.

"I'm sorry mate…I just, she's my little sister ya know…" Ron apologized to Harry, patting him on the back then looking around. "Where is Gin?"

"She went down to the Prophet with James and Lily to give Skeeter a piece of her mind." Harry chuckled. We all looked up as a ministry owl clicked its beak on the window. Ron swung around.

"Bullocks! I was supposed to be at work fifteen minutes ago!" he yelled and apparated away with a loud pop. As soon as he was gone I swung around to face Harry.

"What are you playing at!" I yelled. "You may be able to fool Ron but I know that it was you two in that picture!"

"Hermio-" Harry started but I cut him off.

"You told me you two were done! I cant believe you'd lie to me!"

"We were done 'Mione! It just started up again when that picture was taken I swear!" Harry pleaded and I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Ginny knows…" he added softly and I looked up surprised.

"She does?" I asked.

"She helped come up with the Scorpius and Albus plan" Harry nodded.

"How did she take it?"

"She's strong, hurting but strong. She'll make it." I looked at Malfoy startled. Not expecting him to sing the praises of a former Weasley. He must have read my look because he snorted and rolled his eyes "I give praise where praise is due Granger."

"Draco" Harry sighed.

"Sorry sorry I mean Hermione"

"How'd you do it?" I turned to Harry.

"Do what?" he asked confused.

"Train him"

"Well I'd tell you how but Albus and Scorpius are still in the room."

"Oh gross dad!" Albus put a hand over his eyes as if trying to block out the images, Scorpius just laughed.

"Why don't you two go upstairs" Malfoy suggested and Albus quickly dragged his boyfriend up the staircase.

Harry smiled amused and took Malfoy's hand softly, Malfoy lifted their intertwined hands and softly pressed his lips to each of Harry's fingers causing Harry to laugh softly.

"So what now?" I asked, part of me was repulsed, the other part wanted to go AWWWWWWW!

"What do you mean?" Harry looked to me as if he forgot I was even there.

"Well you two cant hide behind Scorpius and Al forever." I sighed "Sooner or later Ron will find out and so will everyone else and Ginny may be strong but I doubt she'll want to stay married."

Harry frowned "I know…I don't plan on asking her to stay with me. I couldn't do that to her."

"How did the kids take it?" I asked with a sigh.

"We told Albus and Scorpius first and they took it pretty well, they could relate after all considering they're together and they agreed to help us. Lily was upset but accepted it and James…" Harry trailed off. Malfoy giving his hand a little squeeze, it was a discreet and simple gesture but it was a silent tell that he really did care for Harry and that made me feel a bit better about everything. "James isn't speaking to me anymore…he's going along with the picture thing but he hates me now…"

"Oh Harry…I'm sure he'll come around" I tried to reassure him.

"I'm not. I cheated on his mother…" Harry sat down on the couch defeated.

"But you-" I started but was cut off by Malfoy who had sat by Harry, tipping his chin up so their eyes met.

"Harry listen. Of corse he's upset and he deserves to be but you are still his father and soon after all the shock dies down he'll come to terms with this. As for the rest of the wizarding world who cares what they think? They can say what they want about us, you're still Harry sodding Potter, they'll forgive you. Not that you need their forgiveness. And until everyone does come to terms with this I will be with you and I wont be leaving no matter what. We're in this together and nothing will ever change that, I've been at your side since we were kids…maybe back then things didn't go quite this well but at least I was a constant in your life." Harry laughed softly at that. "It will all be okay Harry. I promise." he finished and kissed Harry gently.

I smiled softly and rested my chin on my hand. I could my heart softening up just a bit. "Nice speech but soon people will be flocking this house looking for answers. Not everyone will believe the Scorpius Albus thing so I think you should head home." I pointed at Malfoy.

"You're right." he said and after giving Harry one more swift and reassuring kiss he stood about to aparate away.

"Wait" I called out and he turned around questioningly "Say it again"

"Say what again?" he asked confused.

"That I'm right" I smirked and he rolled his eyes.

"You friends are crazy Potter, the lot of them!" he threw his hands in the air then aparated out.

I looked at Harry and we both burst out laughing, I sat next to him and hugged him, he hugged me back tightly. Once we let go I put my hands on his shoulders. "I cant believe I'm saying this but Malfoy…Draco is a good man for you Harry and I wish you two the best of luck."

He smiled, "Thanks 'Mione. I think I'm going to need all the friends I can get right now."
