Draco had talked to Professor Dumbledore about coming for visits, and he was allowed to come as often as he wanted, he just had to owl either himself or Professor McGonagall so they could open the gates for him. He had come every weekend and spent the whole weekend for the past 2 months and came as often as he could during the week.
James and Jacey had started walking and had both said there first word, which was 'Mama' for both of them. Hermione was surprised they said their first word at 10 months old.
"Well, they are your children", Draco laughed. Hermione laughed with him as they all sat down to eat. Whenever Draco was visiting, they stayed in her room and cooked for themselves, instead of going to the great hall.
School exams were coming up so all classes were now revising. And Hermione was doing her best to give the students the best study notes she could, so they could all pass. She continued to have problems with Damian Malfoy, but all she could do was continue giving him detention and taking points from Slytherin. He really was Lucius Malfoy's son. He was even worse than Draco was, and to a teacher no less.
"So I never asked, how come you never told me you had a brother?" Hermione asked as they ate.
"I'm not sure. Maybe because of the situation I found myself in. I don't think he ever found out about me being adopted", Draco said.
"Oh, he knows. He made it a point to tell me that first day when he called me a mudblood in class", Hermione told him.
"Oh. I thought if he knew, then he wouldn't want to be around me".
"Maybe he knows you're adopted, but not the rest of it", Hermione thought.
"Probably", Draco agreed. "How is the little bugger in class? He refuses to speak to me after that day in Hogsmeade".
"He's still causing trouble. At this rate, I think he'll have more detentions by 3rd year than Fred and George did in their entire 7 years", Hermione sighed.
"Don't worry about him. He's always been a little prat. I just had to deal with it in order to not getting beat by my so loving father", Draco told her.
"Oh. I'm sorry your life was so hard", Hermione said, looking down.
"Hey, don't apologize. It's far from your fault", he told her as mashed potatoes were thrown at his face. "Wonderful", he laughed.
"James, don't throw your food", Hermione told him as Jacey threw mashed peas at her. "Enough you two. I think I'm gonna have to start with timeout sooner than I thought".
"I guess we should get them cleaned up. Gotta love baby food", Draco laughed.
They took the twins to the bathroom and washed their hands and face. Hermione then ran a bath for them. An hour later, the twins, Draco and Hermione were all cleaned up and in pyjamas. Draco always slept on the couch whenever he slept over, so he was getting settled on the couch when Hermione called him to her room.
"I was wondering if you wanted to sleep with me tonight" Hermione said, pulling the covers back. Draco gave her a mischievous grin. "Not like that!" She shrieked when she realized why he was grinning.
"I know. I was just joking. But I'd love to", he said, going to the other side of the bed. They crawled under the covers and Hermione was distant. "I'm not going to bite", he laughed.
"I know. I was just thinking", she told him. "I want to do something. But I don't know if I should", she said.
"What is it?" He asked. Hermione bit her bottom lip and looked at him. She moved closer to him and he moved onto his side so he was facing her. Hermione leaned over and closed the distance between their faces, catching him off guard. It took him a minute to realize what was happening. When he finally did, he kissed her back and for both of them, it was like fireworks were going off.
"Oh. I missed that", she breathed after pulling away.
"So did I", he said, kissing her again. Draco was surprised by this move but he couldn't be happier. Maybe he was finally going to have the family he's pined for, for months. "Hermione, I love you", he said between kisses.
"I love you too Draco", she said. She pulled away, shocked by what she had just said.
"It's okay Hermione. I understand you being skeptical of us getting serious. But I will never abandon you or our children again. I promise you that". After he said that, her lips came crashing back down to his and she climbed on top of him. "I don't want you to do anything you might regret tomorrow", he told her.
"I want to do this Draco. I want to do it properly, even though we already have kids", she said. And at that thought, she grabbed her wand and cast a few different contraception charms on her and Draco. After doing so, she took her top off and started unbuttoning his shirt.
Draco sat up and flipped Hermione onto her back and started kissing her passionately. He kissed down her torso, to her waistline and pulled her pyjama bottoms and panties off as Hermione sat up and pulled his off as well. He unhooked her bra and they were completely bare in front of one another willingly for the first time. Draco leaned down and started kissing Hermione again as he laid down. Hermione's hands trailed all over his body.
"Are you sure you're ready?" He asked. She nodded and pulled his face hungrily to hers. He got up off the mattress and rolled on top of Hermione. They spent the next hour making sweet passionate love for the first time.
The next morning Hermione awoke later than usual, but it was Sunday, so it wasn't a huge deal. She looked down at herself and she was still naked. She almost panicked but then remembered the night before and smiled to herself. She looked around, but didn't see Draco. She got up, got dressed and headed to the kitchen. He was there, feeding himself and the twins.
"Morning beautiful", he smiled.
"Morning Handsome. Last night was incredible", she smiled and then kissed him.
"Yes, it was. You're amazing", he smiled.
"So are you", she said, winking and pouring herself some cereal.
