What Happened

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story. That all belongs to J.K. Rowling.

'Congratulations.' Hermione told Draco. 'Astoria just told me, as they stood just outside of the apothecary.

'Thanks, we plan on getting married next week.' Draco grimaced.

'Congratulations?' Hermione asked.

'Yea,' he smiled. 'We had planned for the end of summer, but this little guy decided he wanted it sooner.' Draco grinned as he hugged Astoria and rubbed her belly, getting congratulations from all.

BOOM!

The wall of the apothecary fell on them.

~O~

'Ms. Granger there you are, is there anywhere else that hurts?' a nurse was asking.

'What happened?' she asked hoarsely, 'Is everyone ok?' as she surveyed the room. 'Where's Astoria?'

'Draco shook his head.'

'Oh, Draco I'm so sorry, why aren't you over there with them?'

'Her dad won't let me. He is fuming and I wanted to make sure you're ok and if you knew what happened before I left.' as the crowd went into details of the event.

'Well congratulations Ms. Granger the baby is safe.' As the nurse's words fell from her lips Harry, Ron, Ginny and Draco head whipped around.

'What? How can I be pregnant?'

'Well, we did…' Ron sputtered.

'Ron, you have to… inside me.' she snarled. 'You … all over your hand, remember?' Ron face went red at the call out.

'Then who's is it, you cheating whore? Do paternity test.' Ron whipped around to the nurse. She did as ask pulling Ron's hand over Hermione's belly… nothing. The nurse looked around to Harry who shook his head and stepped back. Hermione reached out to Draco and placed his hand on her belly… a green glow.

'You cheating whore.' Ron bellowed.

'Ron, I'm a virgin so how can I be a whore?' Hermione screamed back. 'Test me.' she demanded, as the nurse performed the test, proving her virginity.

'Well then you're a tainted bint.' Ginny spat.

'Excuse me?' Hermione asked.

'You will never be able to give Ron a pure Weasley baby.'

'What? What are you talking about?' Hermione cocked her head.

'Well now that you're knocked up by him you will never be able to have pure blood babies… it would be Granger, Weasley and Malfoy mutts.'

'Wow, where did you hear that tripe? The next baby I have will be just me and the father, there will be no mutts, it doesn't work like that where did you hear that from?'

'Mum.' Ginny's face grew red in anger for being called out.

'It is an old wives tale to scare the girls to remain pure for their intended husbands.' Draco smirked.

'Oh, so when are you going to tell Harry you will be having mutt children?' all heads whipped to Ginny. 'Yes, I know about last summer, Harry postponed the wedding and you ran to Dean Thomas's arms? I don't know or care what happened to the baby, but now you are a cheating tainted whore.'

'You what?' Harry growled.

'What you broke up with me.' Ginny cried.

'No, I postponed the wedding, I wanted to wait. I wanted you to get on a team first.' Harry glared at Ginny.

'No, you broke…' Ginny started as Draco butted in.

'Um, postpone means to wait, for another day. So, you cheated on him.' Draco grinned.

'But Harry…' she grabbed Harry's shirt front and started to plead her case. Harry reached down and removed the ring from her finger and stepped away.

'How could you? I just can't trust you again so bye.' as he turned back to Hermione. 'Do you know how this…' pointing to her belly totally ignoring Ron and Ginny. 'Happen?'

'Well, I think…' Hermione started before Draco interrupted.

'Why are you two still here? This is of no concern to you.' Draco snarled, Ron snarled and turned pulling Ginny out the door.

'Well, I think I saw Mr. Greengrass come up behind us and then remember seeing the wall falling. I remember thinking not the baby, not the baby and then … everything went black, and I woke up here.'

'Sorry to butt in but there have been stories of babies apparating out in danger and if you both pleaded enough for his life, he found a new home.' She smiled. 'If this is true... Mr. Malfoy, one … Ms. Granger here sees you as true friend to wish good will for the life of your son. Two… your son is going to be a very powerful wizard.'

'You said son?' Draco grinned.

'Yes, sir you are having a son.' The nurse said as she turned and left the room, as George entered. He placed a box at the foot of her bed.

'Hey, are you ok? I heard Ron and Ginny's side of the story I just came by to get the truth.'

'Um, Draco can I get your help? We need to go find Mr. Greengrass and charge him with…' Harry spoke.

'Murder, child endangerment, and what can we charge him with for Hermione…' Draco asked as they went to leave the room. 'Hey, George, will you stay with her until I return?' George nodded, Hermione smiled and started her story to George.

~o~

'Merlin George, how am I to get a husband now that I'm tainted?' a tear fell on her cheek. 'And a Malfoy tainting at that. Draco stopped at the door hearing Hermione's confession.

'Only idiots like my brother and sister would believe that tripe, so don't worry about it and if you'll have me, I would love to have you.' Hermione looked up to him as he nodded. 'I have liked you for some time I just couldn't because of my git of a brother. I know I have to wait to … until you have delivered but we can date until then, if you'll have me?' Draco left after listening to George's confession.

~o~

'Ok Greengrass is in a ministry holding cell. Charges against him and my barrister has filed papers against him for us.'

'Filed papers?' Hermione asked.

'Yes, as his grandson was or is Greengrass heir he will be entitled to half of the Greengrass estate and you are due monies for pain and suffering. And I will see that he pays for that, as you did not ask for this.' Draco fumed. 'So do you have a place to live?' as he saw the box of her belongings.'

'Um…'

'Well, you can come stay at the manor if you like so I can spend time with him if you let me?' Draco's eyes looked lost.

'Of course, I will, only if you promise to come and read to him every night.' Hermione smiled.

'Yes, I will, every night.' Draco smiled.

'Can I ask for one favor? Can George come over and keep me company?'

'Of course, he can come over anytime you want.' as his parents came into the room.

'Well, my que to leave, I will see you soon?' George asked.

'Yes, I will send an owl when I'm settled.' as George gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.

'Can someone please explain why Greengrass in in ministry custody?' Lucius bellowed, as Draco started the story.

'So, Ms. Granger is carrying our grandson?' Narcissa asked in disbelief.

'Yes, mother if you would like to do the test yourself.' Draco snarled, as his mother verified what the nurses had already done.

'Oh, Lucius… a grandson… she is carrying our grandson. Have you thought of a name yet?' as she looked to Draco.

'Well, we, Astoria and I, was thinking about Scorpius Draco Malfoy.'

'I like that.' as Hermione rubbed her belly. She grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him closer, so he could rub her belly. 'Scorpius… Scorp meet your daddy Draco.' The grin on Draco's face grew as he rubbed her belly. 'And I expect you over every night.' she demanded.

'You expect him.' Lucius snarled.

'Yes, I do. He is to come over and read to Scorp every night so when he is born, he will know his father's voice. Do you have a problem with Draco touching a mudblood.' She snarled rivaling Lucius's best snarl, she saw Lucius shrink at the berating.

'No, I don't, I'm sorry for the …' looking truly sorry. 'For the outburst. You are only looking out for our grandson. I am truly sorry.' as he hung his head.

'And I expect the pair of you too, at least once a week.' She snarled again. 'And he will learn to recognize your voices as well.'

'Yes, dear we will be over, I will go look for all of Draco's story books when we get home.' Narcissa beamed at the thought of being allowed to visit the baby.

'And just so you know she will be staying at the manor. I was going to put her up by the library, so she has somewhere to get to easily.' Both Lucius and Narcissa nodded in agreement.

'Yes, that will be perfect, the blue room.' Narcissa spoke. 'I will go home now and get the house elves to fix it up for her.'

'Beesy?' Lucius said as a house elf popped into the room. 'Ms. Hermione will be staying with us, she is carrying the Malfoy heir so do as she asks, please.' The little elf nodded.

'Yes, master I will help Ms. Herm…' the elf stuttered.

'Please just call me Miya?'

'Yes Miya, I will helps you. I take this box back to the manor for you?' As she received a nod the tiny elf popped out of the room.

'And yes, she is paid and has one day a week off.' Lucius started to snarl but quickly softened his voice. 'We will see you for dinner?' as Hermione nodded. 'Then, see you then.' He turned and left.

'Thank you, Hermione, we owe you so much for doing this.' Narcissa gushed and then turned to join her husband.

~o~

'Hey George, how's work?' as Draco opened the front door.

'Good, you?'

'Miya is up in her room.' As Draco turned to enter the study and George ran up the stairs.

'Hey princess, how is your day going?'

'Good, Narcissa and I started picking out stuff for the baby, she really has been nice to me.' Hermione smiled.

'Well, she has to, you're the grandbaby oven, if she's not you might not carry to term or not give said baby up after nine months.' George wiggled his eyebrows.

'Nope not happening I want to wait to have children, I think that is why I'm not too upset about me and Ron. He was ready for me to start popping out babies.'

'Oh, well I would like to wait at least a five maybe ten years? Before we start if you let me?' as he grinned at her.

'Well then you better start wining and dining me, Red.'

'Oh, Red uh?' as he started to tickle her which turned to kissing.

~o~

'Hey, Draco I need to talk to you.' as Hermione came in from the garden one morning.

'Yea, you ok?'

'I have a problem,' Draco froze and frowned. 'Oh, not with you, Scorp or here, I just need…'

'Whatever you need I will get it for you.' Draco pleaded. 'I need you to be happy.' He whined.

'Well, I'm not sure how to ask…'

'Oi, Granger just spit it out.'

'Well, I'm horney… I want sex.' She growled. 'I need permission to either let me … George or you to satisfy my needs. I didn't think you would want George pounding away on me… so will you?'

'Um, yea I guess so.' Draco looked away.

'What, don't want to sullen your lines?' she snarled.

'No, I just… I know George likes you a lot… and like you said... him pounding into you… I can satisfy your needs… does he know?'

'Yea, he told me to ask you first. He knows the idea of…'

'Yea, ok so tonight? Can you wait that long?' she nodded. 'See you at nine?' she nodded again.

'Can I ask something else?' he nodded 'Can George be my first?'

'Does he love you?' Draco asked as she nodded.

'I think so.'

'As long as he does then yes, he can grab your v-card.' He turned and frowned. 'Do we need to reschedule to tomorrow night?'

'Yes, that would be best.' as she floo'd out of the mansion to the apartment above the joke shop.

'George?' she yelled.

'Yes, I'm right here.' as she turned to see him in the kitchen, still in his boxer shorts.

'What time do you have to go downstairs?'

'One, why?'

'If you love me and truly love me Draco will let you have my v-card.'

'I do, I really do love you Hermione Jean Granger and if you'd let me, I would marry you tomorrow.'

'Tomorrow? Why not today?'

'I have to go find the perfect ring, then I need to get Harry back from France. Because you need your brother there, duh. And you won't let me marry you until your skinny and not carrying someone else's baby even though you didn't with him. You still would want to wait… right?'

'Oh, yea, I would want him there and yea I want to be all yours on our wedding night. Merlins, I love you.'

'So let me owl Verity and have her cover for me, I want to take my time, and love you right.'

~o~

'Hey, what are you doing here?' Draco asked as he found Hermione sitting in front of a café on the alley. 'I was just about to apparate home to talk to you.'

'Waiting for George and have lunch. Oh, and here he is.' As George strolled up and took the seat next to Hermione.

'How are you feeling sweetheart?' he asked.

'Fine, thank you.' She blushed. 'So, what did you need?' she looked over to Draco, as he pushed an envelope across the table. "What's this?'

'Well, it's your settlement for what Greengrass did. You get six million galleons put in your bank account.'

'Oh no that goes to Scorp's account.' She pleaded.

'Oh, no he got twelve million in his, so that is yours to do as you please. Go on a spending spree or invest it, I can help you with that if you want?' Draco added.

'But what about Daphne?'

'She will be fine with what is left, and she is planning on marring Theo Nott and he is loaded so she will be fine.' Draco smiled.

'So can I invest it in anything I want?' Draco nodded. 'So, if I want to invest in a shop, so they can build it up better and open a new shop in Hogsmeade. Would that be, ok?' Hermione asked Draco.

'Of course, it's your money. So which shop?' Draco said as he looked around the alley.

'Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. I want it to be the best place in London and maybe even Paris?' as she looked over to George.

'Oh, Miya I can't let you spend all of your money on me.' George whined.

'I'm not spending it on you I'm spending it on Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Am I not allowed to spend my money on what I see fit to?' her voice rose as she spoke.

'No, sweetheart spend it on whatever you want I just don't want you to blow all of your account on the shop.'

'Um, she won't she still has ten million in there from Scorpius,' both Hermione and George looked at Draco. 'Well, he does need to be responsible and pay room and board.' Draco grinned. 'It wasn't Hermione's idea to get knocked up now, was it?'

'Fine, I will take it with the understanding Draco is my financial advisor?' Draco nodded in acceptance.

'Um, Miya can I ask for one thing?' Draco turned to her. 'Could you not be in the alley without an escort? Once this gets out, it might be …'

'A right mess.' George added and Draco nodded.

'Could you floo into George's place or my office at Gringotts so we can walk with you?'

'Um, yea I can do that, the news should be getting out there soon and I'm just starting to show.' as she ran her hand across her now firm belly.

'Thank you.' The guys said in unison.

'I need to get to my next appointment, see you tonight?' Hermione nodded.

'Oh yea, thank you for last night, Draco.' George said as he offered his hand.

'No problem.' as Draco shook his hand and left.

~o~

'Hey, how was your day?' Hermione asked as Draco entered the library.

'Good you?'

'Pulled up George's paperwork and… I think it will be a great investment for you. It is a good thriving business, and I can see a Hogsmeade branch within two years and Paris within five with you backing him.' Draco smiled. 'Um, do you still want to …?'

'Yes, please. If you don't mind?' Hermione asked, he placed his arm around the waist and apparated to her room.

~o~

'Lucius, can I bother you if you're not too busy?'

'No, it's fine just doing some menial paperwork.' As he closed the ledger, he was working in.

'Draco is not due back until tomorrow and George is in meetings all day and I need to go to Diagon Alley today and the guys would prefer me to have an escort when I go, so would you…'

'Yes, Draco discussed that with me before he left and I agree with them, the news of Scorpius is out so yes when will you be ready to go?' as he stood up.

'Ready now if it suits your schedule. I didn't know what you had planned for today.'

'Well then let's go.' as he accompanied her to the Leaky cauldron via the floo. They strolled the alley, stopping here and there picking up her needs.

'Tainted whore.' Ron spat as he bumped into Hermione. 'Draco wasn't enough you've moved on to daddy Malfoy?' With in a blink of the eye Ron was now plastered against the nearest wall, looking like a starfish on the side of a rock.

'I told you that if you ever call me that again you would regret it.' Hermione's hair grew and sparked her anger. 'We told you I didn't cheat, unlike you.' Ron's face went red, Hermione wasn't sure if it was in fear or being called out. 'Yes, I know about Lavender.' Hermione pushed Lucius's hand down. 'This is my problem.'

'No. it is mine he is endangering my grandson. I will take care of this.' Lucius roared, Hermione noticed Ron quiver if true fear. 'What does he mean by tainted?'

'Well, all of my future children will be let's say Granger-Weasley-Malfoy.' Hermione explained.

'Are you that stupid? You ignorant fool. Where did you hear that nonsense?' Lucius roared.

'His mother.'

'Oh, yes, Molly Weasley the greatest mother in the world, believer of all folklore.'

'Don't you say a word about my mother.' Ron snarled.

'Well then all I can say is you definitely don't deserve this fine creature. I will tell you this Mr. Weasley if you come near my grandson or his mother, I will ruin you and your family.'

'See I told you he is still a death eater.' Ron growled.

'No Mr. Weasley I no longer have those beliefs, but I do know enough people, Rita Skeeter could publish the stupid things your family believe in or I know a banker that could ruin your family finances… all of them, not that you have much to lose. And then there is your reputation… running when things got tuff… cheating on the supposed love of your life… who would want you then? Not many, maybe if you were lucky, a desperate girl with no hope of landing anything better?' Lucius seethed. 'So, leave them alone, if anything happens to her, I will seek you out to pay for it.' He saw the realization in Ron's eyes. 'Yes, that means anyone, so you better get it out there that Hermione is off limits, or you will pay.' Lucius snarled and turned to Hermione 'My dear, are you ready for lunch?' with the calmest of voices.

'Yes, that would be nice. Only if you let me pay.'

'Never.'

'Lucius do you really want to see me angry?'

'No ma'am, but I will pay next time.'

'Well, that depends on who asks whom out to shop.' Hermione said with a grin.

'Fine, will Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor suite you today?'

'Oh yes, cherry chocolate chip sounds wonderful.' as she turned to see Ron still hanging on the wall. 'Remember Ron do not speak to me or about me and no contact.' Ron nodded, as Hermione swished her wand and Ron fell with a thud.

~o~

'Miya are you ok?' Draco ran into the room. 'Father showed me the memory.'

'I'm fine, I think he would have been better if I wasn't with your father.'

'Miya do you really believe that?' she shook her head. 'Has George even told them you two are…?'

'No not yet, He wanted to wait until after I have the baby. He didn't want to add fuel to the fire.'

'Well just so you know, father is telling him now.' just as George stormed into the room.

'The stupid git, I'm going to tell him the bank didn't approve my loan and see what he has to say. I will make him pay.' As the gleam in George's eye shown bright.

'George? You can't do that.' Hermione pleaded.

'Yes, I can, this was not your choice, he is just being a jealous prat.'

~o~

'Oi, you…' as Ron came into the kitchen at the burrow. 'What happened in the alley last week? What did you do to Hermione?' George snarled.

'What?' Ron tried to look innocent.

'My loan was turned down, so now I can't expand or hire more people. What did you do?'

'Um, I might have bumped into Hermione.'

'Bumped or did you knock into her on purpose? I needed that loan, Ron.'

'Oh Georgie, it will be fine.' Molly tried to calm George.

'No, mum it won't. The rumor is that he.' pointing to his brother. 'And Lucius had words and they were not good words. Lucius threatened to ruin him and us if he didn't stay away from Hermione.'

'Ronald Weasley what did you do?' Molly screeched, as George told the story, changing a few things to look like it was secondhand news not a firsthand view of the incident. 'Oh, well Ronald you just stay away from that… girl. She's nothing but trouble.' Molly huffed.

'Mum how is she trouble? She didn't ask for any of this.' Molly huffed. 'Mum she was just standing there when the building collapsed. The baby just apparated out of Astoria and into Hermione. She went from not preggos to preggos in a matter of seconds. So how is that trouble? And just so you know Draco is standing up and being a decent human being by giving her a place to live until the baby is born and paying rent on her womb.'

'Just… just… not right. She is trouble and tainted.' Molly grumbled. 'Mutt babies from now on.'

'Mum, she is not tainted… her next child will be a Weasley baby with no Malfoy in it and if you don't change your thinking, you will miss out on a grandchild.'

'What a Weasley baby? ... how?' she sputtered.

'I'm dating her. So, stop accusing my intended of being tainted or you will be sorry.'

'You stole my girlfriend?' Ron yelled.

'Oh, shut it Ron, she was never your girlfriend she felt sorry for you until YOU went off to fuck Lavender. She deserves way more than you can give her.'

'So, you think it's you?' Ron spat.

'Yea, I've been to see her almost every night since the accident… where have you been… oh yea in Lavender's bed.' George turned and then turned back to Ron and his mum. 'If I were you, I wouldn't say a word to or about Hermione if you enjoy your way of … life, because I believe Lucius will ruin you.' With that he left.

~o~

'Well, they know.' as George floo'd into Hermione's room. 'Sorry guys I didn't mean to interrupt. I was just so mad.' as Draco was putting his boxers on.

'No that's fine I think I have her worn out for now.' Draco grinned. 'What happened?' the story was told.

'Oh George, I'm so sorry.' as she went over to hug him.

'Hey, I have an idea.' Draco proclaimed. 'I'm having a hard time keeping up with her and her urges so why don't you move in here and help out.'

'Really?' both Hermione and George sputtered.

'Yea, I can see that he loves you and I need to step back before…'

'Before what Draco?' Hermione went over to him.

'I'm starting to have feelings for you.' He said in a voice so low they barely heard him. 'I know you two were planning to after Scorp was born but…'

'To be truthful I have too.' She spoke.

'Can I ask something?' George added, they both nodded. 'Could you two see yourselves being in a threesome?'

'A triad?' Draco asked, George nodded. 'My great grandfather was in a triad, and wasn't your uncles in a triad?'

'Yes, Fabian and Gideon and Trudy Prewitt' George smiled as Draco nodded.

'How would that work?' Hermione asked.

'Well, I would have even days and Draco would have odd days.' George explained.

'And if you are up to it maybe on the thirty-first, we share you? So, I don't have you two days in a row, got to be fair you know?'

'What happened to Draco Malfoy that I knew?' George pretended to faint.

'He grew up and found possible true love and a triad relationship? My son will have a mother and a second father and hopefully many more siblings?'

'Now on those share nights you will keep your bits on that side of her and I will keep my bits on this side of her?' George grinned.

'Of course.' as Draco offered his hand in agreement.

'Deal.' Both men said in unison as the shook hands.

'Hey, what about me?'

'What you are getting the richest most eligible bachelor and the most handsomest bachelor in the wizarding world I would thing you would jump on that with gusto.' George quipped.

'Hey, you will be the second richest when I'm done with you.' Draco smiled.

'Yea but hopefully I won't be a bachelor by then if Hermione here agrees to our plan.' George grinned.

'Draco you're not contesting the handsomest title?' Hermione asked.

'Well, I should, but let him think he is the best at something shouldn't I?' Draco grinned.

'So, this is up to me?' looking between them, as they nodded. 'Fine I will take you two off the market, but I want to wait until Scorp here has been evicted.' as she rubbed her belly.

'I can live with that.' Draco smiled.

'Yea, me too.' George smiled.

'Can we at least announce it? So, everyone knows you are taken.' Draco asked.

'Well, I guess I will need a ring to seal the deal.' as she held her hand up to appraise the blank spot on her ring finger.

'Done we will go in tomorrow and find the perfect ring for you.' Draco spoke as George nodded.

~o~

'Father, mother we have decided to enter into a triad relationship and once Scorp is born we will be wed.' Draco

'Well, it's about time.' Lucius spoke, all three turned to look at him. 'I could see this a mile away. Draco I have always known you had feelings for her in school but with her running with… you set your sights on Astoria But when… and Hermione offered to continue to carry our grandson even tho she would lose all of her friends but one. The relationships grew... a friendship…' pointing to Draco and George. ' And relationships, 'pointing to Hermione and George. 'There and there.' pointing to Hermione and Draco. 'And both of you realized Hermione would not choose between you and you both agreed to share.' Lucius smiled. 'I am very proud of the three of you to realize the love and power you now hold.' He held up his glass. 'Congratulations to the new power thruple in the wizarding world.'

'Power thruple?' Hermione asked.

'Well… Your brains, Draco's wealth and his ingenuity. Yea the power thruple of the century. To the three of you. Congratulations.' as he drank his glass in one.'
