Every time I read reviews they make me smile, especially HarryPGinnyW4eva who is always rooting for Lucius' downfall. Not that I disagree (: Hopefully this chapter still makes you happy.

Thank you to everyone who reviews, I really do read all of them!

To see Hermione's engagement ring, there's a link to the website on my profile.

DPOV

Hermione was at work and I had the day off, so I was sitting at the kitchen table with Rose when the paper came. I was skimming over a few things before flipping back to the front page.

"Holy shit."

Rita Skeeter Fired From the Daily Prophet!

It has just been brought to our attention that an article written by our very own Rita Skeeter about Mr. Malfoy, Astoria Greengrass, and Hermione Granger was falsified. She has been let go, and will be giving a public apology that we hope the three aforementioned victims of her lies are able to attend. We at the Daily Prophet are truly sorry for Ms. Skeeter's lack of proffesionalism, and we wish the very best for Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger and Ms. Greengrass.

I couldn't help but feel smug. I would definitely have to tell Hermione about this when she got home.

"So Rosie, you know I love you and your mummy very much."

She nodded, "I know."

"Well how would you feel if I asked her to marry me?"

The thought had been swirling around in my mind for the past few days, but I really wanted to be sure that Rose was okay with it.

"You're getting married!" she squealed, her eyes wide and her smile stretched from ear to ear.

"Well if it's arlight with you, I'd like to."

She nodded, her curls bouncing around her face, "You haaaave to, as long as I get to be in the wedding!"

I smiled, "Of course."

She squealed and hopped onto my lap. "When are you going to do it?"

"I'm not sure yet, but you can't tell mummy alright?"

She nodded, "Of course not."

I smiled and kissed the top of her head, nerves starting to settle in my stomach.

I needed to talk to Blaise. Soon.

"How do you feel about going with me and Blaise to look at rings?"

She smiled, "I get to help?"

I nodded, "You get to help."

~OoOoOoOoOoO~

"So you're really doing this." said Blaise as the three of us walked into a jewelry store in London, Rose on Blaise's back piggy-back style.

I nodded, "Yeah, I want to make her mine permanently, and I want little Rosie," I said, tickling her sides, "To have my last name."

She grinned and Blaise nodded.

"Well I'm proud of you."

We looked at rings for a while, Blaise pointing out different ones that just weren't 'the one', before Rose pointed to one.

"What about that one daddy?"

It was a simple silver ring with a diamond in the center, but on the band itself were four stones, two on each side of the diamond, that were red and green.

"I think this is it." I said quietly.

Blaise came over and looked at it, a smirk coming over his face, "Well would you look at that."

I guess there really was no turning back now.

Not that I wanted to.

Now there was only one thing left to do.

Tell my parents.

HPOV

"I didn't think it would be this busy." said Luna, pulling a batch of cupcakes out of the oven.

I nodded, "I didn't think so either."

The entire store was packed with people eating, sitting, drinking coffee, ordering food-it was insane.

But everything I'd hoped it would be.

"We've got fifteen minutes till closing everyone!" said Luna over our intercom.

There were a few mumbled groans, but people slowly but surely started to leave.

I was wiping down the counter when I heard the door chime go off.

"I'm sorry, but we're-"

I stopped mid-sentence when I saw who it was.

None other than Lucius Malfoy stood in the door way, rather awkwardly if I could say so.

"I'd like to have a word with you...if you have time."

I blinked a few times, trying to clear my head. "Um, sure."

I stepped out from behind the counter and joined him at a table, completely confused by what he was doing here. I mean I didn't really expect to be talking to him anytime soon.

He cleared his throat and began, "As you are well aware, I don't have a very high opinion of your...kind."

I sighed, so that's where this was going.

"But you seem to make my son and wife happy."

"Okay..."

"I...I would like to apologize. I do not wish to push my son, my wife, or my...granddaughter out of my life. And I am aware that we do not like each other, but I am willing to...try." he said.

Ho-ly-fuck.

What did I say to that? I should open my mouth.

For the love of Merlin Hermione, say something.

"Thank you."

He blinked a few times and then nodded, "I'm glad we had this discussion."

I nodded and stood, "Yeah, so am I."

He left shortly after that, and as soon as he did Luna was by my side.

"What happened?"

"Like you don't know." I said with a smile, remembering what she had said a few weeks ago about Lucius coming around.

She smiled and grabbed her bag. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"

I nodded, "Tomorrow."

~OoOoOoOoOoOoO~

When I got home the smell of food was in the air.

"Hey, I'm home!"

Rosie ran out of her room and flung her arms around my waist. "Did you have fun?"

I chuckled, "I did. Did you have fun? Where's daddy?"

"Right here." said Draco, standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

I smiled and walked over to him, placing a kiss on his cheek.

"How was your day?"

"Busy." I said, sitting down at the table with Rose. "Anything interesting happen while I was gone?"

"Well," said Draco, handing me the Daily Prophet, "This happened."

I scanned over the article and my eyes almost popped out of my head, "This is insane...but not as insane as what happened to me at closing time."

He raised an eyebrow and brought the food over to the table, before sitting down too.

"Your father came to see me."

"He did?"

I nodded, "Believe it or not, he apologized. It wasn't particularly nice, but he did say that he didn't want to lose you or Narcissa."

He smirked, clearly smug about something. "Well it's nice to know he listened."

"Listened to what?"

"What my mother and I told him."

I knew he wasn't going to tell me anything else, so I let it go, just happy that everything was starting to settle down.

"Are you planning on going to hear her speech?" he asked.

I laughed, "Oh most definitely."

I turned to Rosie and asked, "So what did you do today?"

She smiled and Draco coughed.

"Um...I saw Blaise and we went to the park."

I squinted at her, knowing that there was something she wasn't telling me, and Draco had gotten rather quiet.

"Alright, spill."

"Spill what?"

I turned to look at Draco, and he just shrugged.

I brushed it off. He had no doubt just taught her another spell or charm that I wouldn't approve of.

"Well why don't the two of you go sit and I'll clean up the kitchen."

I cleaned the table, and was standing at the sink, washing the dishes when Draco came up behind me.

His arms slid around my waist and I felt his lips on my neck.

"I'm glad you had a good day."

I smiled, "I'm glad your dad doesn't seem to hate me as much."

He chuckled, and pulled me closer. "I love you,"

I wiped my hands on the dish towel and turned to face him. "And I love you."

"Really?" he asked, a smile on his face.

I chuckled, "Of course I do. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you."

He laughed and pulled me into a kiss.

I could get used to this...this family feeling. It was actually pretty damn nice.

Especially with Draco.

Maybe I could see myself getting married, maybe I wanted to see myself get married. Because in all honesty, spending the rest of my life like this with him, it was pretty welcoming.

I guess I just have to wait and see.
