Chapter 3: The Meeting and the Twins

Draco Malfoy hadn't slept that night, he kept thinking about Blaise. After the Graduation Ball and Graduation itself, he and Luna left England to live at Italy, they stayed at Blaise's grandparents Manor. Draco hadn't seen them for a few months but they still owled each other.

Before Blaise died, he was managing a chain of lawfirms in England and other countries. Luna became a famous magical creatures specialist, she does her work at the Manor because she takes care of the children, who are mainly, the twins.

Draco decided to eat, he went down the grand stairs of Malfoy Manor. The Manor looked the same on the outside exept that it looks brighter, the dungeons are now chained and locked. Both Narcissa and Lucious Malfoy decied to renovate the Manor for a fresh start, they thought that after serving for Voldemort, though spies for the light, that it was better to renovate the magestic Manor. His parents were away for a month worth of vacation.

By 9:00, he had already finished eating and reading the Daily Prophet. He entered his bedroom which bears the Slytherin emblem and Maldoy crest on the ceiling, the walls are a combination of green, silver and black, a king sized bed with silver and gold sheets. He took a shower inside the black marbled bathroom decorated with accents of gold, a bathtub the size of a mini pool. After his thirty minute shower, he only took about ten minutes to shower, the remaining twenty minutes was left for styling his hair.

Draco dressed in black slocks, a red button up shirt with a silver necktie and his custom made leather shoes. He grabbed his car keys, after discovering the convenience of Muggle technologies especially cars and cellphones. It is an hour from the Manor, he wore his aviators as he drove the Lamborghini Gallardo to the lawfirm.

Hermione got up at 4:30 in the morning having not slept that night due to thinking of the possible explanations as to how Blaise and Luna died. 'Later' she thought to herself, 'You'll find out later'. It is hard for her, losing two of your most closest friends but she knows that if Blaise and Luna would've been here, they would've scolded her about being happy that it happned because, as muggles say, everything happens for a reason.

She went downstairs of her house, after saving the money she recieved from the war and her salary when she started as a healer, Hermione bought the house after finding it when she was strolling down the nearby park. The house was in the Wizarding World but was just close enough to the Muggle world.

The kitchen was decorated perfectly for a professional cook or chef, the counter was made of white marble, complemented with dark tones of cherry wood as well as the shelves and the pantry. The stove was made out of muggle technology only to be enhanced by magic to set it off properly when the food is cook, keeping it warm all the time. Hermione went to the refrigerator, which is well sotcked, and grabbed milk, bacon, eggs and apple juice, it was practically part of her diet, and started to cook.

After eating and magically washing the dishes, she settled on reading her favorite Muggle book, Pride and Prejudice on her favorite leather loveseat. Having gotten lost herself in reading, she almost forgot about the meeting if not for her wand charmed to alert her about it.

Hermione went up to her bedroom to shower, her room was a lovely shade of baby pink with designs and details of baby blue, light yellow and lime green, the bed is lined with white silk sheets. Her bathroom is also beautiful with its fully tiled floor and walls, the tiles are like small squares colored red and silver alternating itself, her bathtub is also big, it can fit five to six people at once, the shower is also extavagant for it can spray the user with different temparatures of water at once.

Hermione stripped of her night clothes and started to shower, she used her vanilla and almond set given by Ginny last Christmas, consisting of a shampoo and bathgel. After showering for about twenty minutes, she went straight to her walk in closet.

Hermione decided on wearing a tangerine skirt with a sleeveless floral print shirt and a pair of rich aqua blue peep toe heels. She fixed her hair into a high ponytail, then applying a very few amount of make-up to enhance her natural beauty, consisting of eyeliner, light pink blush and clear pink lip gloss. Hermione then proceeded on apparating to the lawfirm. She is still not keen on apparating for it makes her queasy but nonetheless, she deals with the motion sickness if it means easy transportation.

Hermione arrived, ten minutes before the start of the meeting in front of the lawfirm finding a Lamborghini, 'This must be Theo's car' she thought. She saw Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Sex God, Slytherin Prince to her Gryffindor Princess, Spy to the light and many more, sitting quietly in one of the chairs that was composed herself and sat on the otherside.

Draco looked at the new person, hearing the clanking of heels presumed the arriver as a woman. He muttered quietly "Bloody hell, she looks like a supermodel." He didn't really get a chance to see her face because she was a few rows ahead of his. He can only see her dark chocolate curls bound by her ponytail, the back of her floral printed shirt and her tangerine skirt.

"Draco, Hermione, please follow me to the private room." Theo then led them to the second floor but Draco's mind was else where. 'Fck! That was Granger? Hell! She is hot!' the perverted part of him said 'Stop it! This is Granger we're talking about, know-it-all prude Granger.' "Uhh Malfoy?", Draco snapped out of his thoughts, "Yes?" Hermione shook her head, "Nothing, you seem in a daze, that's all."

Theo cleared his throat to get the attention of his friends. "Now, as you both know, Blaise and Luna died. How they died is a mystery to the outside world, we wanted to keep it a secret to the public. They died in a plane crash on their way here. They were coming back because of the lawfirm, nobody knew that they were coming back except myself and Blaise's grandparents, said they wanted to surprise everyone and tell them that they were expecting"

Both Hermione and Draco absorbed the information, Hermione couldn't control the tears that fell from her eyes. "You two were called here because you are to take care of the twins. Even though Blaise and Luna didn't say who Scorpius and Cassiopeia's parents are, it is still evident that they love them as their own, your are to take care of them. Love them as if they are your own."

"When will we see Scorpius and Cassiopeia?" Draco asked. "They will arrive in a few minutes" Theo replied. Just then the doors of the conference room opened and in came the twins.
Scorpious and Cassiopeia shouted at the same time "Uwle Thewo" (Uncle Theo). "Hey midgets! Now I want you to meet your Aunty Mione and Uncle Drake. You're going to live with them, okay."

They nodded but Cassie asked "Werw Auty Lulu and Uwle Bwaisey?" Theo was having a hard time to answer, Hermione gestured for the twins to come to her "Cassie, Scor, Aunty Lulu and Uncle Blaise had to leave. They didn't mean to okay, it just happened but now, you get to stay with us" she smiled at the duo. "Owkay" they said and gave them identical grins.

As Draco observed the interaction, he couldn't help but smile. Hermione was natural with kids, he, on the other hand was horrible at them. The twins looke a lot like Blaise and Luna, Scorpius had platinum blond hair that naturally falls, his eyes were an enigmatic steel blue, 'Just like mine' he thought but dismissed it, Cassie had a combination of blond and brown hair making it a lovely shade of dirty blond tumbling down to thick beautiful curls, her eyes are just like her twins'.

But Draco couldn't help but wonder why. His Mother and Father had always said that his eyes were unique so why does the twins have them? After Theo gave them more information on the twins and what they were to do.

"Uwle Drake, I hungwy" Cassie said and motioning to be carried like what Hermione did with Scorpious. "Sure, we'll eat but let's ask your Aunty Mione first" he looked at Hermione's direction only to find that she was playing with Scorpious who was giggling. "Hey Gra-Hermione, Cassie is hungry. Why don't we eat since the meeting is done" she nodded and said "Sure Draco".

They left the lawfirm only to be chased by Theo "Drake, I forgot to tell you that the lawfirm will be signed to your name." "Sure, just send the documents to my secretary" Theo nodded and escorted them out. They left the building and looked for a place to eat.

A/N: I'm so sorry if it's a little short but I really wanted their lunch to be another chapter. Please forgive me :))
