A/N - Hope you enjoy it. I am in two minds whether to end this ever and do a sequel
Chapter Fifteen
Draco's grip on Harry's wrist didn't slacken, but his eyes were glued to the weight in his chest, the tiny bundle, that sucked at its fingers, with a dusting of white hair,
"Draco, can I have my arm back?" Harry asked, startling the man, who suddenly realized that there were people on either side of him, his eyes moving from Harry to Hermione,
"Hermione?" he asked finally letting go of Harry's wrist,
"Hey?" she smiled, "It's good to see you awake"
"How? I should be dead?" he said,
"You've been in a coma" she explained, Harry made to reach for Persephone, Draco's hand grabbing his wrist again,
"I just want to take her so you can sit up Malfoy" Harry snapped,
"Harry?" Hermione raised an eyebrow
"Sorry, but the healers will want to check you over," Harry said more calmly,
"Hermione take her," Draco said "How am I not dead?" he asked again as Hermione carefully took her daughter and gently lowered herself into the wheelchair,
"We don't know, we don't even know what the magic was you preformed, other than being blood magic" Harry said, "I'll leave you two to talk and will let the healers know you are awake" Harry said,
"Give it five minutes," Hermione said to her friend as she came to her side and kissed her head,
"Ok" he nodded, "But I need to talk to him once he gets the all clear" Hermione nodded as Harry left the room closing the door behind him. Draco pushed himself into a sitting position, his eyes glued to the bundle in her arms,
"How? When?" he managed to splutter out, "I found out about three weeks after you went into the coma," she said,
"I Remember feeling a kick" he thought out loud,
"I was convinced that I'd imagined your hand moving when she kicked it" she admitted, "When you gave no other signs, I convinced myself that I'd imagined it" she said looking down at her daughter,
"How old?" he asked,
"An hour" she said, "As soon as I was allowed to, I brought her to you, only Harry and Ginny had met her before you, but that is because Harry was there when I gave birth and you try telling a very pregnant Ginny, she had to wait to meet her niece" Hermione smiled at him, "I've missed you so much Draco…I thought you would never wake up" Draco moved to the edge of his bed upon seeing her tears,
"No, don't cry" he said "I wasn't sure how the spell would affect me, honestly I believed it would kill me…but I knew that if I let Potter get killed you would never forgive me…and I told him to look after you for me…I'm guessing as he was there for the birth, he's been doing that?" Draco asked,
"Because you are in hospital, I wont slap you for that, yes Harry told me what you said, but why the hell did you do it if you knew it was likely to kill you?" she said,
"Because the only thing I could see in that moment was the death eaters winning and returning to a world where you were persecuted for who you were born too" he breathed, "And if I could prevent you having to deal with another war…I had to" he said, before she could respond the door opened and several healers came in practically shoving her aside to check over their patient,
"Hey careful that's my girlfriend and daughter you just shoved aside" Draco snapped,
"I'm sorry, it's just we were surprised when Mr Potter told us you were awake" a healer explained, "However, it would be best if Miss Granger and the child return to the maternity ward"
"Come on Hermione, we'll wait outside" Harry said, knowing that Hermione would not want to leave.
Hermione and Draco stepped into the modest flat Hermione was currently renting, Draco cradling his daughter to his chest and Hermione placing the nappy bag on the kitchen counter,
"It's small" she began, Draco made sure that Persephone was secure to his chest before wrapping an arm around Hermione,
"it could be two rooms including a bathroom, as long as you are here with me, it's a palace" he smiled leaning down to place a kiss on her lips, "Come on lets get this one in bed, so I can play with her mummy" he smirked,
"Behave" Hermione laughed before taking her daughter.
Even after Draco had woken, the healers had insisted on keeping Draco under observation for six weeks, which had driven him to almost murder them,
"I'm just glad to be home" He smiled, "That is if you want me here that is" he smiled, watching her lay his daughter in the cot beside their bed,
"Oh, I don't know, I've been here alone so long" she smiled turning to face him,
"Must have been lonely" he smirked,
"I had my self and Ann Summers to keep me satisfied" she smirked, Draco raised an eyebrow,
"Ann Summers?"
"Muggle adult shop, they do toys to satisfy a lonely woman" she smirked running her hand along her stomach,
"Are they better than me?" He smirked,
"I'm not sure, it's been so long" she groaned her hand at the hem of her skirt, moving between her thighs. That was all it took, Draco took three strides to her side before pushing her back onto the bed, "Draco" she gasped, he smirked down at her. One hand beside her head holding his weight the other caressing her left breast, "Draco" she groaned, "Don't I'm l…" she couldn't finish as Draco crashed his lips to hers. When he pulled away, he brought his fingers that had been pinching her nipple to his mouth, causing Hermione to blush,
"Fuck you taste so fucking good" he growled, "I need more" he said unbuttoning her blouse and pushing it aside, as Hermione reached up and expertly found the hook that held the cups up, "Are you sure I haven't died and gone to heaven" he growled before taking a hardened nipple into his mouth,
"Oh Draco" Hermione moaned out, arching her back. Looping one of her legs behind his thighs pulling his body on top of hers, allowing her to feel the length that throbbed behind his trousers, "Draco, I need you" she groaned out,
"Impatient little witch" he smirked against the breast he was lavishing,
"Trust me" she growled "She has a habit of waking when I'm in the middle of something" she said thrusting her hips causing him to let out a moan, Hermione grabbed her wand casting a quick spell disrobing them both, Draco didn't argue reaching between them and guiding his head teasing at her opening, "Please, Draco" she said reaching down to rub her own bud of nerves
"Fuck that's sexy" Draco smirked pushing his head into her opening "Keep touching yourself beautiful" he moved to suckle at her breast again as he made slow thrusts, "Hermione…it's been so long…I'm not gonna last" he said as he moved his attention to the other breast,
"It's ok" she moaned her free hand gripping almost painfully to his hair, "I'm close…fuck I've missed you; the toys don't even come close" With that conformation Draco released her breast before crashing his mouth to hers, his thrusts going from slow and torturous to fast, hard and desperate. The two moaning in unison as they both reached their climaxes. Draco rolled to the side of Hermione and kissed her again,
"You are amazing" he smiled, "So very beautiful" they both sighed and curled together as Persephone made herself known, causing them both to chuckle, "I've got her" he smiled.
"She's probably hungry" Hermione stretched before moving to the edge of the bed as Draco carried their daughter to her, "That is if Daddy left you any" she smiled moving her daughter to latch on and feed.
Hermione and Draco were greeted at the train station by Hagrid and Nevelle,
"Welcome back" Neville smiled,
"How's the little one" Hagrid asked his attention on the sleeping child in Draco's arms,
"Sound asleep" Draco said, "How many people can say they fell asleep on their first ride on the Hogwarts Express" He chuckled,
"Minerva, has arranged a feast with the other teachers to welcome you both back" Neville smiled, "And I think she is looking forward to meeting Hogwarts' youngest resident, trust me you guys' won't need anything…I mean anything for the little one." He laughed,
"Oh I hope you guys haven't gone to too much trouble for us"
"Ah no trouble, we're all looking forward to having a little one around" Hagrid smiled,
"She's staying away from those animals Hagrid" Draco warned, before laughing as the four of them headed back to the castle where their fellow professors where waiting to celebrate their return.
