I am not sure who the pairing will be for Hermione yet; I can't choose between my fave ships; it's going to be either Draco, Snape or Kingsley in this one, as Sirius isn't in this story. - if you like Ron or Ginny, you will not like this story as I am not nice to them, let alone Molly.
Enjoy the story, guys, and don't forget to comment, like and follow :)
Also, write who you think Hermione should pair with in a review.
"Okay, guys, so why don't we sit down, and I will order you some breakfast? You must be hungry," Hermione said, guiding them to the sofa.
''I'm hungry.'' piped up Hunter.
"yeah, that man wouldn't let us eat anything," Seren said, looking at her aunt.
Hermione grit her teeth. She wished she could hex him. "Don't worry. I will order your breakfast, Albus. Will you be staying?"
"No, my dear, I will leave you for the time being; I'm sure Mr Malfoy will be arriving shortly; we will have the meeting at Grimmauld Place around 4 pm if that is okay."
Hermione nodded. "Of course," she said, smiling. She was exhausted and in pain, and a sit down would be good right about now.
"Would you like me to inform Mr Malfoy before he comes?"
Hermione smiled gratefully. "can you not tell him my real surname yet? I'm not ready just yet. I don't mind him knowing I'm adopted and have twins now," she said carefully. She knew Draco would have heard of the family name.
Albus smiled and left them to it. He had some explaining to do. Minerva and Severus will be surprised, and he shook his head at his thoughts.
Hermione looked at the twins in front of her and smiled at them "okay, so what would you like to eat," she smiled. "Anything you like,"
"Can I get pizza and juice, please," said Hunter softly
"Can I have pasta, please? With some juice, too," repeated Seren.
Hermione smiled ''Dobby.''
"Missy Hermie called for Dobby,"
"Yes, Dobby, these are my niece and nephew, and I am now their sole carer. Can you not tell Harry yet? He will find out later today, you see. Also, could I get one pizza and juice and a bowl of pasta and juice for the children?"
"Of course, Dobby love to help miss Hermie and the children. Can Dobby help children, missy?"
Hermione smiled. "Of course, there's no one else I wouldn't trust besides Harry," she said, smiling at the little elf. "Seren, Hunter, this is my friend Dobby. He will help look after you."
"Hi, Dobby." came the chorus of the twins.
"Little sir and little miss are good like Missy Hermy and Harry Potter, if you need Dobby, you call, and I come." He popped away excitedly to get the food.
Hermione walked over and transfigured a little table and chairs for the twins to sit at. While she sunk into the sofa for a few seconds, she couldn't believe everything she'd learnt. This is not what she expected on her return to Hogwarts, let alone dealing with her recovery; on top, I wonder what the others will say – bloody hell, I'm a single parent now! What on earth am I going to do—calm down, don't panic. You know you won't be alone. Harry wouldn't allow it. Hermione shook her head to rid her of such thoughts. She knew she was panicking for no reason. She knew one thing no matter what happened. Harry would be by her side. They were siblings, and she knew Harry would be chuffed to be an uncle.
Hermione watched when Dobby brought the twins their food, smiled softly, and thanked him when he also handed her a cup of tea. "Thank you, Dobby." She continued watching the children eating. They were quiet but seemed okay; for the time being, she knew this would be hard for them.
"Mia." came a concerned call from a distance.
Hermione sighed. "In here, Draco."
"Dumbledore just told me, merlin Mia are you okay," Draco said, rushing over before his eyes registered the children. "Damn there, defiantly your family, aint they, Granger."
Hermione smiled gratefully for Draco's understanding. ''Yes, these are Seren and Hunter.'' she smiled at the twins ''Kids, this is my friend Draco Malfoy.''
Draco smiled gently at the children and got down on his knees. "Hello, it's nice to meet you," he said, gently facing their level so as not to scare them.
Seren grinned. ''Hi, I'm Seren, and he is Hunter,'' she told him, pointing. ''Are you my uncle.'' she then asked the blond man.
Hermione smiled gently. "Yes, sweety, he is one of my friends and also like family, so you can call him uncle if you want to."
Draco beamed, his eyes a bit misty. "I'd be honoured to be your uncle."
Hunter smiled shyly. "Do you like Dragons."
Draco grinned. "I do. They are amazing. My name is Draco which means Dragon."
"My name is a star in Welsh," Seren said proudly
"And I'm a Greek god." smiled hunter
Draco grinned. The girl was like a mini Hermione. They both were "Wonderful strong names like your aunt." he smiled. "I'm sure you'll be just as clever as she is and just as strong."
"Why don't you finish your dinner while I talk to uncle Draco quickly," she said, smiling and watching them continue eating. She transfigured some blocks for them to play with.
"How are you feeling."
Hermione sighed. "I don't know. I wasn't expecting this today, that's for sure, but I'll have to put how I feel aside for the moment. They need me." she said sadly.
"I'm sorry you had to find out the way you did and for your sister." Draco knew she was trying to be strong and brave and knew it was only a matter of time before she broke down and it hit her. He would make sure he was around when it happened.
Hermione sighed. "Yeah, I'm alone now, well, not anymore. I have the twins."
"And me and Harry." Draco pointed out. "We're here for you, and I know Harry is your brother," he said, smiling. "And you have me to Granger."
Hermione rolled her eyes at her last name. "Shut it, Feret."
"Oh, you wound me. How could you say such a thing." Draco joked, "So you ready for the meeting soon."
Hermione grimaced. "No, this is going to be hell. All I want to do is sleep," she said, sighing. "Chance be fine thing ey,"
"Well, after the meeting, you can get some sleep. I'll help watch and listen out for the children, don't worry. You're not alone."
Hermione smiled in thanks. "Thank you." she sighed. "Do you think you could owl your mum later? Um, I want to ask her for some advice on where to go to buy the twins' clothes, toys and stuff. They have nothing with them. The stupid lawyer didn't let them grab much."
"of course, I will. She would love to help you. Look, I know I'll find out like everyone else what's happening, but why are you worried about a lawyer, of all things."
Hermione sighed. "Something wasn't right, and he was looking at me strangely. It gave me chills, and Albus noticed it, too, so I wasn't the only one. He also apparently didn't let the kids eat or drink anything and questioned whether I cared for them." she shook her head. "He was determined to get me to go with him to the bank as well."
Draco, like Hermione, looked suspicious. "Hmm, that doesn't sound right. I've never known a lawyer to do something like that, either. Usually, they would go over it with you, would get in touch with or even Gringotts to see if you received a will. They don't need to be there personally sometimes." he pointed out to her knowing how they work as the Malfoys had some on retainer for any time they may need them, not to mention due to the business.
"I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on him. At least I can deal with Gringotts now and not him." She gently added the last part.
"Don't worry. We will work something out. You're not alone in this," Draco said softly with a smile.
Hermione smiled in thanks. "Thank you" she then turned around and headed back to the sofa. "Have you guys finished?"
"Yes, aunt Mi" chimed the twins, which was followed by a yawn from Seren
Hermione smiled. "I think you two should have a little nap until it's time to go see everyone. Then tomorrow we can have your uncle Draco and Uncle Harry help decorate your rooms." she walked over, bending down, giving them both hugs
"Come on; you can sleep in my bed, my darlings." She bent down and scooped them up on that note. They weren't too heavy, plus lightning charms helped. "I'm just going to sort the kids out," she told Draco smiling.
Draco smiled. "I'll write a letter and send it off to my mother. They will both be at the Order meeting, no doubt," he told her before waving at the twins and looking for some parchment before leaving to send it with his owl.
"There you go, how's that nice and comfortable." she soothed as she sat next to them after tucking them in.
"What if no one liked hunter and me," Seren spoke quietly.
Hermione smiled. "They'll love you both. Merlin knows I do, and I've just met you both, and already you got Draco wrapped around your fingers, and the same will happen with Harry. You will have the main people's support, mine, Harry, Draco, Albus, Minerva and I'm sure many others, so don't worry about a thing. I will keep you both safe, I promise." she comforted them.
"Now get some sleep. I'll be waking you when it's time for the meeting. Okay, I am only in the living area," she reassured them. Hermione kissed them both before slightly leaving the door open and heading downstairs. She needed a nap, never mind the kids, she thought to herself. She knew it was going to be challenging and stressful.
Draco was walking back towards his and Hermione's dorm. He figured she'd want her own living area with two children, although they'd have connecting doors. He wondered if it would be best to speak with the headmaster and have his suit next to hers.
Just as he entered the rooms, he noticed the silence. He'd been gone only half an hour as he had to clear his head he wanted to be there for his friend and the twins and to do that he had to clear his mind he noticed that Hermione was asleep on the sofa he guessed the twins had also fallen asleep. So he smiled softly, got the blanket from the side, and placed it over his friend.
He could see the stress on her face even in sleep, and she was in pain. He just hoped the meeting would turn out okay despite knowing that Ron Weasley would no doubt have a problem he always did, and Draco didn't believe he would stay controlled and understanding.
Draco called for Winky, ordered himself a cup of tea, sat in the chair, and stared into the fire before pulling a book out and reading it. He had about an hour and a half till he'd wake Hermione so she could get prepared mentally for the meeting.
