DPOV

"So I asked around, and quite a few people wanted to come."

Rose, Hermione, and I were sprawled across our bed. My back was against the head board, Hermione sat between my legs with her head against my chest and my arms around her waist, and Rose was stretched sideways across the bed, her head on my legs.

Hermione smiled, "I'm so excited. I can't believe that you actually know people who'd want to come."

I chuckled, "I do have some decent friends."

"I know you do." she said, her hands running through Rose's curls.

"Do I get to come to the party mummy? Is Auntie Ginny bringing James and Albus and Lily?"

Hermione nodded, "Of course you get to come. I have to have my little good luck charm there. And yes, I do think Ginny's bringing them."

Rose squealed in excitement, "How many people are coming?"

Hermione shrugged, "No clue."

I had a pretty good idea of how many people were going to be there, and when she saw I was pretty sure she was going to freak out.

Hey, Malfoy's know a lot of people.

Besides, I'd had two weeks to get people together, and by now Hermione and Luna were ready to open the bakery, and the opening party was tonight. I could literally see the excitement rolling off her in waves.

She and Ginny had spent a good part of the day preparing cookies, cakes, pies, and other fancy names that I wouldn't be able to remember the names of in a million years.

It was going to be a semi-formal party, so Hermione had picked out a tight black skirt and a red top that were currently sitting on the dresser, her red heels tossed haphazardly by the door.

"Daddy what are you wearing?" asked Rose, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I smiled and shrugged, "Why don't you go pick something from out of the closet?"

She moved off the bed and walked into the closet, leaving Hermione and I on the bed.

"I'm so proud of you." I whispered against her neck.

I felt her relax further into my arms, not that I was surprised, she loved whenever I was anywhere near her neck.

I pressed a kiss there before she began talking, "I'm really glad you're coming."

"I wouldn't miss it."

"What about this one?" Came Rose's muffled voice.

Both of us only quickly glanced over at the doorway before Hermione shouted back a no.

"I never really expected it to be like this." she said, a faraway look in her eyes.

"Neither did I, but I sure did wish it would be."

"This one?" called Rose.

I glanced at the shirt, a strange pink color, before saying, "No pink sweetie."

Hermione smiled and said, "Well it looks like your wish came true."

I nodded, "Okay, how about this one?"

Hermione and I turned and looked over at the shirt, and I noticed something rather stranger. I decided to wait until-

"Oh my goodness."

The shirt was floating in the air and Rose was nowhere to be seen.

"Rosie, honey, could you come here?" asked Hermione, her voice full of awe.

She stuck her head out of the door an innocent smile on her face, "What?"

"Where did you learn how to do this?"

I had a pretty good idea of where she'd learned it from a few months ago actually...

"Daddy taught me."

"Daddy...Draco!" she said, turning to look at me, a mixture of surprise and anger on her face.

"It was months ago. When she tried to get a bowl out of the cupboard and they all fell down, that was a few days after I taught her."

Rose nodded in agreement, and I was impressed. Extremely impressed.

I guess that's what happened when two of the brightest minds came together and had a kid. Hermione was smart and always learned things incredibly fast, and I was always pretty adept at spell casting at a fairly young age.

"Maybe we should set up some rules for magic use..." she mumbled, sliding off the bed and plucking the shirt from where it was floating, tossing it to me. She stuck her head in the closet for a moment, pulling out a pair of my dark-wash jeans, tossing them at me too.

"Aren't you proud of me?" asked Rose, looking very much like a Malfoy at the moment.

A very peculiar thought hit me like a ton of bricks, and I was surprised by its intensity.

Rose Malfoy...Rose and Hermione Malfoy.

"Are you listening?"

I snapped my gaze up and saw Hermione standing in the doorway to the bathroom, an amused smirk on her face.

I shoved the thoughts of Hermione Malfoy out of my mind and focused on her, "I'm sorry Love, what did you say?"

She rolled her eyes, "Can you check and make sure Rose has on clothes that match? I've got to take a shower."

I nodded and stood up, walking into Rosie's room.

"What do you think of this one daddy?" asked Rose.

She had on black leggings and a red skirt, Gryffindor red of course. I couldn't help but smile, it was so typical that she'd be wearing Hermione's House colors.

I was quite curious what House she would be sorted into.

"You look beautiful." I said walking over to her and buttoning up her shirt. When I knelt down I noticed she had on a very familiar looking emerald green pendant necklace.

"Where did you get that?"

She looked down and smiled, "Mummy gave it to me a long time ago." she said, drawing out the 'o' in long to prove exactly how long ago it had been.

"Did she say anything when she gave it to you?"

"Just that someone probably would've wanted me to have it."

I nodded slowly. That was the necklace I'd given Hermione on Christmas. I thought she'd long ago gotten rid of it.

I quite liked how it looked on Rose, and it was nice to know that she'd had something of mine all along.

"Was it something you gave to mummy? She always used to look at it funny." she said, walking out into the living room.

I followed behind her and said, "Yes...I gave it to her a while ago."

She smiled, "You can give it back to her if you want. Maybe now that you're here she'll want to wear it."

I chuckled and watched as she clicked on the TV, "No, I like it on you, and I'm sure she does as well. Green suits you."

"Mummy says red is better." she said, sticking her tongue out at me.

"Yet you wear the necklace."

She smirked, one that was nearly fucking identical to mine, and said, "Well of course. Ugly colors need love too."

I chuckled, she reminded me exactly of Hermione back at Hogwarts, always engaging in verbal sparring. It was nice to see she'd gotten that from her.

"We both know green is the best color." I said, ruffling her hair as I headed back into the bedroom.

I heard the shower on, and only paused to think about it for a moment. I cast a Silencing Charm on the room and slid into the bathroom quietly.

I heard Hermione humming something to herself softly. I smiled and stripped off the clothes I had on, sliding open the shower door and stepping in behind her.

She turned around and faced me, a smile on her face. "What are you doing?"

"Taking a shower."

She rolled her eyes, "Now?"

"Is that a problem?"

She stepped forward, her wet and soapy body rubbing against mine in a sinfully delicious way, "Not a problem at all."

I brought my lips down to hers, and moved my hands to her hips, slowly moving them up to cup her chest. She moaned softly into my mouth and I smiled, pulling away to kiss her neck.

"Draco," she whispered.

"Hmm," I said, not removing my lips from her neck.

"If we do this we're going to be late, and I refuse to be late for my own opening." she said, her voice sounding unconvinced.

"Oh come on Princess, at least let me make you feel good." I whispered against her ear, nipping it lightly.

She arched into me and said, "Okay,"

I knew that we had a good hour before we needed to apparate, and she'd kill me if she didn't have time to get dressed, so I slid a finger between her already dripping folds and began to rub her clit.

She moaned, louder this time, as her hands clung to my shoulders. I increased my speed on her clit before inserting a finger into her warmth.

I felt her nails bite into my skin as I began pumping in and out of her, adding another finger, before inserting a third.

"Oh gods," she panted.

I knew she was close, I felt her walls begin to flutter around my fingers. So without removing them I dropped down onto my knees, pulled one of her legs up over my shoulder, and sucked her clit into my mouth.

"Ohhh fuck!" she said, her hands on my shoulders and in my hair.

I curved my fingers up, managing to hit that special spot inside her.

"Let go Princess."

Seconds later I felt, and heard, her come undone above me. I stayed on my knees until her orgasm had passed, before I realized that I'd never gotten on my knees for any girl.

She crashed her lips against mine, her tongue battling with mine, before pushing me back against the shower wall and dropping to her knees.

"Hermoine-"

But I was cut off when I felt her warm, wet mouth wrap around me. Whatever this woman was doing had me going crazy. Nothing was ever supposed to feel this good.

I laced my hand through her hair and tilted my head back, unable to hold back a moan.

"Fuck,"

HPOV

I knew I was doing something really right if he started letting curse words slip.

I began bobbing my head back and forth faster, using one hand to hold his hip, and the other to massage his balls. He let out a low moan, and I couldn't help but moan back, causing him to buck forward into my mouth.

I slowly slid him from my mouth, trailing my tongue up the underside of his shaft before focusing on the head. He moaned even louder and his hand in my hair tightened.

"Fuck, Hermione." he panted.

I knew he was about to come. I'd done this enough times to be able to notice the signs. I moaned again, and it sent him over the edge.

He groaned as he released himself into my mouth. I looked up at him and smiled, running my tongue across my bottom lip.

He grabbed my hands and pulled me up, and into a kiss that took my breath away.

"You need to get ready." he said, his voice soft in my ear.

I nodded and grabbed a towel, lifting the Silencing Charm and sticking my head out the door just to make sure Rose was okay.

I saw her sitting on the couch watching Spongebob and smiled, turning back to my room and throwing on the outfit I'd picked out.

I looked pretty damn good if I said so myself. My hair was actually tame, and the heels made my arse look great in this skirt.

I looked up and saw Draco, impeccable as ever, in his emerald green button down and dark jeans.

"Ready?" he asked, looking at the clock.

I nodded and we walked into the living room.

Rose hopped off the couch and said, "Are we leaving?"

Draco nodded and picked her up, "Off we go."

~OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO~

When we apparated outside of the bakery I couldn't believe my eyes. There were people everywhere.

"How many people do you know?" I asked, making my way through people who were congratulating me on the bakery and making comments on how good the food was.

"Enough," was all he said, putting Rose down when he saw James and Potter at a table.

I looked around and saw Luna behind the counter talking with Blaise and someone I didn't recognize.

This was insane. Absolutely insane. I couldn't walk five steps without someone telling me how amazing something was and how they were definitely going to recommend me to their friends.

It had turned out a hundred times better than I ever expected.

Out of the corner of my eye I spotted platinum blonde hair and froze.

Narcissa Malfoy was making her way towards me. She looked slightly uncomfortable, but wore a pleasant smile on her face nonetheless.

"Hermione," she said, giving me a hug. We had gotten pretty close over the past two weeks, and it was nice to have a motherly figure. Not that Molly didn't do that, but it was different with Narcissa.

"I'm glad you came."

She nodded, "Well I couldn't miss my daughter in laws opening." she said with a smile.

"Wait, did you just say daughter in law?"

She shrugged, "You might as well be. I think of you as one anyway."

I smiled, maybe one day.

"And what are you ladies talking about?" asked Draco, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Family," said Narcissa, an easy smile on her face, before she turned to mingle with the crowd.

"What was that about?" he asked, turning me towards him.

I shrugged, "She just told me that she thinks of me as a daughter."

He raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Yeah, she said she couldn't miss her daughter in laws opening." I said with a chuckle.

He nodded slowly, an unreadable expression on his face. "That's interesting."

~OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO~

The rest of the evening went surprisingly well. Everyone loved the food, and were complementing Luna and I the entire night.

Rose played with James, Albus, Lilly, Roxanne, and Fred in the corner with Harry watching them, and Ginny was circulating the room handing out business cards.

Draco and Narcissa stayed with me most of the night, and I rather enjoyed it. It was nice to finally be getting started on my dream, and it was a damn good start.

"Have you heard anything from father or Astoria?" I heard Draco ask his mother.

She shook her head, "He isn't really speaking with me, and I have no idea where Astoria is. Although I did speak with her parents about what happened and they were very quick to shove her in the nearest floo away from London."

I couldn't help but chuckle, and Draco cracked a smirk.

It was nice to know that Astoria, at least for now, was not an issue.

"Why isn't father speaking to you?"

"I believe it must have been when I told him to shove his archaic ideas up his arse." she said with a small chuckle.

Draco looked stunned so I stepped in.

"I'm sure he'll come around."

"I'm not sure that I care either way." she said, looking at her son.

Draco's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

"If your father isn't able to accept you, I might be leaving him. He's always making remarks and trying to keep me away from the three of you, and I'm getting to be too damn old for this." she said.

I didn't know what reaction I'd been expecting from Draco, but I was pleasantly surprised when he started laughing.

Narcissa smiled and said, "Yes, I assumed you would do that."

"Fucking finally." he said, his voice sounding lighter than it had in a very long time.

Who knew divorce made people so happy?

I smiled and watched as people began to leave, and before long the bakery had cleared out and the only people that were left were Ginny, Harry, the children, Luna, Blaise, Draco and I.

"Well I'd say that was a success." said Blaise with a smile.

We all nodded and Luna said, "I can't believe I actually have a job to go to in the morning."

We all chuckled and I said, "The kids look like they've passed out, so I think we should get home."

Harry and Ginny nodded, picking up their kids while Draco walked over and picked up a sleeping Rose.

I hugged everyone before we apparated home.

~OoOoOoOoOoO~

"Well I think that went extremely well." said Draco, sliding into bed next to me.

I nodded, "I think so too. This is so crazy."

He pulled me close to his side and placed as chaste kiss on my lips.

"I love you."

"And I love you." I said snuggling further into his chest, enjoying the way he felt.

He was quiet for a moment, and I thought he had fallen asleep, so it surprised me when he started talking again.

"Do you ever picture being married?"

I sat up and looked at him, "What?"

"Do you ever picture yourself being married?" he asked, his voice serious.

I flopped back down, looking up at the ceiling, "I mean I'm young, so I suppose so."

I didn't know where that question had come from, and it had definitely caught me off guard.

"Why?"

"Just curious." he said with a chuckle. "Don't go reading into things too much."

I chuckled and kissed his cheek. "I'm not reading into anything."

And I wasn't. It's not like I thought he was going to propose to me or something.

Ha.

"What if you should be?"

"What, you know someone who wants to marry me?"

He chuckled, a glint in his eye, "Go to sleep Princess."

I smiled and relaxed into his touch, sleep quickly claiming me.

Yay for quick updates! Leave me reviews (:
