Chapter Four

Hermione

Christmas morning was strange, we got up, opened presents and did all the things we usually did except Ron wasn't there. It did take us a while to find our groove but eventually we all had an enjoyable morning. I sent the kids through to Mollys before getting myself ready. I put on a pair of skinny dark wash jeans, grey fitted t shirt with a black cardigan and military style boots.

With the spells and charms Lavender taught me my hair and make up was done. My newly short hair was in its usual choppy style with a dark smoky eye and nude lips. I didnt look like a woman approaching forties but I felt it. War, marriage, a demanding job and children tend to take it out of a person.

As I grabbed my wand and secured it in its holster I grabbed a bag with presents in it and went on through the grate before coming to the living room where the Malfoys waited. The room was incredible, a large Christmas tree decorated lavishly and colour coded in gold and silver.

"Granger. Welcome." Draco appeared in front of me and handed me a glass of wine before taking the bag of presents from my spare hand and shoved a plate with finger food but posh finger food in the other. There wasn't a cocktail sausage in sight and wasn't long until I realised I could get used to this at christmas.

"Booze with food! I can already tell this is going to be a very different Christmas." He smiled and waved his wand before the presents ended up under the tree with others.

"Didn't you open your presents already?" They all looked at me as if she had six heads and it was strange when Draco did it but I could see all of them looked the exact same when they did it, it was slightly creepy actually.

"It wouldn't be polite to do that until all of the guests have arrived." I seen poor young Scorpius being so confused by me and what I said, the poor boy has had to look at his presents all morning and not touch them.

"Ok... Umm next year we will work on instilling some Grangerisms into your Christmas ok." Theo arrived with Blaise before the latter looked at me as if I was a steak.

"Granger, no children in sight so can I just say you look gorgeous! That hair, those legs! That bum! Yummy mummy indeed! " I turned to see Malfoy with his wand in his hand and Lucius giving him a glare which initially surprised me but I have been seeing other sides to Lucius Malfoy and he was winning me over.

"Now everyone is here, present time." Lucius was in charge of handing out presents, my own pile was starting to form and I noticed everyone had bought me something which was surprising.

"Hermione, your penmanship is beautiful." Narcissa had been open, welcoming and kind during every single interaction we have had so far. I smiled at her and couldn't help reminiscing about a time before first year and spending months practicing my handwriting when McGonagall told me I was a witch.

"Practiced a little too much when I got my Hogwarts letter, writing with a quill was hard to adjust too and I wanted my teachers to be able to read my work." Draco laughed at that and made a joke about me always being an over achiever. Everyone was opening presents quietly and chatting friendlier and more relaxed that I was expecting.

Narcissa had given me a gorgeous pair of Jimmy Choos for work and they were amazing. Blaise was practically drooling to get me to try them on. Lucius had gotten me a leather day planner with a large H on the front. It was in Gryffindor red with my initial in gold.

"Thank You." He nodded before I opened a package from Theo, he had a pair of tailored robes made for work also. They were pale blue with silver buttons.

"For the Wizangamot meetings." I thanked him as well as a small hug. Blaise held his out to me and for some reason it was frightening. I could see Narcissa and I had boxes that looked identical. As I opened it I was right to be nervous, it seems everyone noticed and Scorpius was soon ushered to his room with his toys and books.

After he shouted a loud Thank You Hermione he ran off to play with his Nintendo I got him which according to Draco was too much and I insisted considering I get huge discounts thanks to my friend working as a game developer. Turning my attention to the daunting box in front of me I couldn't help but gasp at the contents.

"Blaise? What the hell?" Inside the box sat some form of silk and lace. It was beautiful nightwear with robes to match by the looks of it. Narcissa looked at me and rolled her eyes before Lucius pinched one of them between his thumb and forefinger and whispered what appeared to be something naughty in Narcissas ear.

"Don't get prudish now Granger. My mum recently opened a new store in Paris and this is the newest collection. Draco chose the colours." Malfoy looked like he was going to punch him and turned a funny shade of red which really did not go too well with the blonde hair.

"When you asked me what my favourite colours were that was not what I thought you needed it for." I closed the box before the young boy came flying back down again with a small box in his hands and brought it over to me.

"I forgot about it and only remembered when I went to my room. Sorry Hermione." I waved him off and lifted the top off the small thin box. Inside I could see a sketch of what looked like Rose and Hugo with me in the middle, it was incredible, this young boy was so,talented and really Hogwarts should offer more Art options.

"Scorpius, did you draw this?" At his nod I felt slightly teary, he was such a nice young man and realistically for a potential first boyfriend for Rose she could do a lot worse.

"My dad made the frame." I could tell that it was handmade the muggle way and not the magical way which shocked me again. I couldn't help but look at Draco when he caught my gaze and I smiled at him.

"This is amazing thank you." They both nodded their heads before a small elf announced that their dinner was ready. We spoke throughout dinner where more booze was passed around and all in all it was a very enjoyable time. Lucius and Narcissa were hilarious together especially when they were ganging up on their son to embarrass him.

Once dinner was over and I was positive I couldn't eat another bite and so we all had another drink and lay on the sofa for a while, Scorpius asked to play his fame in bed for a while and gave me a tight hug and kiss to Narcissas cheek. Eventually Lucius and Narcissa also went to bed with the Malfoy Patriarch squeezing his wife's arse as they walked away leaving me with Draco, Blaise and Theo.

"Can I just ask the question? What the bloody fuck was Weasley thinking? Granger you are fine as hell and I honestly cant wait to see you in your dress. He is gonna rue the day he cheated on you." I didnt want to talk and they seemed to understand before I called it a night.

" Don't stay up too late!" As I arrived home it was in silence. Knowing I was by myself again I indulged in a bath before heading to bed just after midnight. It really was a strange Christmas but thoroughly enjoyable.

/--/-/--/-/--/

On the morning of New Year's eve my dress and shoes were hanging on the back of my door along with a note from Narcissa, she said she had left some jewels aswell from the family vault for me which she thought would match and they were stunning.

The Weasleys and Potters were leaving from the Burrow so we had decided to meet at the Manor. I think it was going to be a full family affair excluding Percys family who were living in USA whilst Percy did an exchange program with MACUSA. Bills family had also already left to spend New Year with Fleurs family in France.

Getting ready in my room with Rose while Hugo played Nintendo online with Scorpius

I did Roses hair and make up before doing my own, I did small braids at either side and and held them back with a small jewel. As I lifted my dress out I put on a strapless bra, underwear and stockings before throwing on my dress and shoes.0

The three of us met up in the kitchen before taking some selfies and pictures on Hugos phone before we left. Rose and Hugo took an arm each and we landed in the apparition point and walked out to the entrance hall. The house has so many small lights in jars and was decorated in golds and silvers before I spotted Harry and Ginny at the other side of the room talking to Ron.

Scorpius must have been waiting for us because he appeared out of nowhere, gave me a hug and trailed my kids away quicker than I could say boo. I was handed a flute of Champagne before walking around and started talking. A solid half hour of networking and I finally seen him.

He was wearing a suit that looked painted on, his hair was tied back like his father who also smiked at me. Narcissa was nowhere to be seen but before I could ponder any longer we were directed into the ballroom. I have avoided this room the last few times I had arrived and for good reason. A soft hand held onto my own and as I turned I seen Narcissa holding onto me.

"I haven't been in this room since the war so I figured if we do it together it might help?" I nodded at her and we walked hand in hand, it looked different and larger. She then told me how Lucius wanted to change it completely and he actually succeeded. He opened up the wall and made a huge balcony overlooking the grounds,of Malfoy Manor. The party was in full swing and the bar was located on the balcony.

I was sitting with the Malfoys, Potters, Andromeda, Kingsley, Blaise and Theo. Dinner passed with alot of fun conversation and before I knew it we were all sipping on Coffees, teas or more booze. The kids were all split to their own tables but were having fun none the less.

I was talking to Ginny about the idea Draco had about the DNA custom beauty supplies and whether the Harpies would be good sponsorship to participate in. Almost instantly Ginny and Malfoy started talking and they really clicked, he nicknamed her Red and she couldn't stop the Ferret that appeared, causing more than a few chuckles between all of us in the know. Harry was chatting with Narcissa about the awarding system of the Manor, Harry had became an expert in warding and was constantly tinkering with Potter Manor whilst Lucius was debating with Andromeda and Kingsley about brooms used in World Cup.

All night I felt like people were looking at me but I was probably being paranoid. A silence fell in the room as a woman stood up and walked over to where Ron was siting with his family. As she swung her hair over her shoulder I knew instantly who she was, the woman he betrayed me for.

"Oh fuck!" You can always count on Blaise but this time he was parroted by Ginny and Draco as I just sat there gobsmacked as people were looking between her and I. Lucius and Narcissa were out of their seat in seconds absolutely livid at the audacity and I just sat transfixed to what was happening. Ron noticed her and his face went red and the woman stopped in front of him and knelt down to whisper in his ear.

"What the hell are you doing here?" His words, echoed across the room and I was on autopilot at this point I needed to get out of here. His fucking mistress showing up was bad enough but to do this here and now just can't.

I tried to appear stealthy but my feet were hitting the ground faster than a normal walk and I just went to the kids and told them to stick close to Scorpius and the Malfoys before I took off out the door. I could hear Ron running after me and I ran off up the stairs as best as I could in these shoes.

"Ronnie! Stop." His girlfriend screeching behind him was all I could hear as Lucius Malfoy told them to take their drama out of his house and away from his children. Just as I reached the top step Ron grabbed my arm and held onto it tight, so tight it hurt a little.

"Hermione... Stop, please." Unfortunately for him his mistress also caught up behind him and seen him holding my arm and she didn't seem bothered. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.

"I think your wife might want to know about it too." I was confused and kicked myself for asking but I needed to know. God I was a masochist.

"Know what?" She didnt seem too keen on answering me and she looked at Ron as if she expected him to say it. Just as the Malfoys arrived she scoffed rolled her eyes and looked back at me again.

"I'm pregnant. Nearly twenty weeks." I felt sick to my stomach. I could see the smallest bump under her dress and I couldn't stop myself. I slapped Ron in the face and went to go for another one before Malfoy grabbed my hand and took me away from them just as Harry arrived and trailed Ron out.

Everything after that was a blur, Ron must have gotten out of Harrys grip because he swung Draco around and punched him in the face before Harry and Lucius held him back. An audience had started to gather at the bottom of the stairs and I had never been so humiliated in my life. Thankfully I couldn't see the kids and I had to remember to thank whoever it was that stopped them from finding this out in front of an audience.

I just ran away from everyone and everything up several flights of stairs before coming to a pair of double doors and landed in a lovely cream room with dark furniture and bookshelves. There was another set of doors which opened up onto the balcony and I felt safe.

I waited around for a while and it must have been at least 10pm, I had taken my shoes off at one point and found a glass and a bottle of firewhiskey on a desk before taking a swig and standing outside.

I had tried to wrap my head around everything and i had it finally worked out in my head. I lost Alice, three months later he starts with Stacey and apparently seven months ago when the news broke he didnt stop seeing her.

She is twenty weeks fucking pregnant! I just felt nothing but anger at him, why did he do this to me. Why did he cheat? Do I care? I was broken out of my musings by the door that opened. Draco walked in looking oh so fine in his suit and upon seeing me smiled a genuine smile before coming over to hug me.

"Granger. I thought you were gone. What are you doing in my room?" I shrugged and truly didn't know this was his room at the time.

"It was the furthest I could run and hide." He walked over to me and took a swig before I noticed the black eye forming.

"I can't believe he hit you." I waved my wand and instantly the bruise started to heal and he thanked me and held onto my pinky finger with his own.

"Weasel tried to use Legilimency on me, so I showed him our little make out session on my desk. That's why he punched me." I shook my head and realised Ron might lose his job if that got out. Realistically I didn't care, the arse has hurt me too many times.

"Your children are with Scorpius in his room, my mother gave them some calming draught. Potter said he would let you know." It was true his Patronus came floating in ten minutes ago to let me know what was happening.

" I'm gonna go talk to them." He gently held onto my arm and pulled me close to his body and hugged me, practically instantly I felt relaxed with him wrapped around me.

"They are already settled and told me to let you be to calm down. I think your daughter is a little too mature for my son who still loves Dragons and video games." I laughed at him and nodded before picking up my shoes to slip them on again when he asked me where I was going.

"Going to find a room in this castle you own." He steadied me as I stood up in my skyscrapers before looking into my eyes.

"Stay here. With me. Granger don't give me that look. Come on, I wanna fall asleep beside you, be warned I like to cuddle." I laughed fully at that as he held out a large t-shirt.

"You didn't give me bottoms." He nodded and pulled his dress shirt off and unbuckled his belt before picking up the matching bottoms for himself. I walked into his en suite and closed the door before finding a hanger and placed my dress on it. I rolled off my stockings and hung them up over the top of the dress.

The t-shirt that he gave me was huge and slipped off my shoulder with the hem reaching my knee. I suddenly got nervous at the prospect of this. I haven't slept beside anyone in a long time.

Ron had started sleeping in the guest room about a year before the picture came out. He was the only person I have ever slept beside and I all of a sudden became worried. I pulled open the door and found him in a pair of black boxers and nothing else.

My mouth went dry as he turned to look at me and pulled on his bottoms. I couldn't help but pull the hem down and jumped in on the left side and he smirked before going over to the ensuite and took what looked like contacts out of his eyes.

"I didn't know you wore contacts." He smiled and came over to his side of the bed and lifted out a pair or glasses and put them on before taking his tie from his long wavy hair causing it to fall down and frame his face .

"Wow... Thats kind of cute." He looked offended before I sat up and did something that surprised even myself . I kissed him. This felt incredibly domestic and it didn't scare me.

It didn't take him long to start kissing me back and his arms wrapped around me and I found myself straddling him. One hand had pulled my hair back and held the back of my head. The other held onto my ass and he squeezed it softly.

"Granger. You are now testing my resolve." I quirked an eyebrow and shook my head before kissing him again and I pulled his shirt off.

"Draco. Shut up and kiss me." I pulled the borrowed shirt up over my head and as his eyes zeroed in on my chest I was grateful I left my bra with the dress as his hands instantly gravitated to them and he kissed me.

"Are you sure this is something you want Hermione." It registered he actually called me by my first name. Up until this point we called each other by our second names and I loved hearing him say my name.

"Yes. I want this, I want you Draco. I am tired of denying it." I kissed him again and pushed him down into the mattress before framing my legs around his.

I could feel his excitement pressed against my centre and I couldn't help the moan that came out. God he felt good. One of his hands was working my breasts and the other had disappeared between my legs to push against my centre over my underwear.

"Fuck Hermione. Do you have any idea how long I have been wanting to do this. When I saw you at Graduation dressed in this red dress you were absolutely stunning." I pulled back from him at this moment and looked down to him.

"Every event I have seen you at since I have been in awe of how beautiful you have gotten. When I saw you step into my office I was a goner. If we are doing this Hermione I am in. I am all in." I nodded my head and smiled at him before leaning forward and kissing him again.

We spent half an hour just kissing and touching before he rolled me over and pressed his body against my own before trailing his hand down and came to rest at the waistband. He looked into my eyes and I nodded to him giving him my permission.

No one had seen me naked in a long time, Ron and I always did it with the lights off and now seeing Dracos eyes on me I couldn't help but get self conscious. I instantly brought my arms up and closed my legs.

"Don't hide from me Hermione." He started at my foot and pressed a small kiss on the top of my foot before running his hands up my body along with a trail of kisses. Slowly my legs opened to him and he pulled back to look at me.

"God you're beautiful." He kissed me on the lips before bringing his hands all over every inch of me eventually landing between my legs and bringing one finger to my opening and slowly pushed in.

I couldn't help the noises that came from me as his hands and lips worked in sync to tip me over the edge twice before he started to move his lips down my chest until he came to my centre.

"Can I kiss you here Hermione?" I nodded and realised I haven't had this done to me in a long time and Ron didn't like it. He must have noticed me tense uo because he looked up at me again and shook his head.

"I don't have to. I would really, really like to but only if you're comfortable." I pulled his face to kiss me again before leaning back and tucked my head in his shoulder.

"I haven't, that hasn't I mean no one has ever done this for me before. Ron tried once but didn't like it." He looked shocked before raising an eyebrow and shook his head.

"Well then, let yourself go Hermione, you can trust me." His lips trailed down again before he settled on the floor next to the bed before hooking his arms under my legs and pulling me to the edge of the mattress.

Slowly he pressed his lips against my centre and my hips raised up off the bed and he pressed against my pelvis with his arm and tried to keep me still. His tongue between my thighs felt amazing, when he used both his hands and mouth I fell over the edge again. He didnt stop and was relentless.

"FUCK! SHIT!" I tipped over the edge again and I could feel my arousal practically slap him in the face, he was like a man in the desert and lapped it all up before he moved away allowing me to catch my breath.

"Such foul language Hermione." He pressed soft kisses to my neck before I pulled him back to my lips. It felt strange to taste myself on his tongue but not unpleasant .

I instantly moved us around so he was on the bed at the top with four pillows under his body to prop him up as a grasped him in my hand and guided him to my entrance. I didn't give him a chance to say anything and slammed myself down on top of him. He hissed as he stretched and filled me more than I have ever felt before.

"Hermione, you feel like heaven." Slowly he pushed me up from his body and it was there I could feel how strong he actually was, I didn't have time to dwell on it as he slammed me back down again.

I knew what this was going to be. We would have time for slow and steady later but now it was animalistic and raw and passionate. I braced my hands on his shoulders and felt him harden with each thrust and I could hear him whisper the most filthy of things in my ear and I loved it.

"Fuck you feel so good." I ran my hands through his hair before grasping the back of his head and using it for leverage also. I could feel it approaching and he flipped us around so I was lying on my back and he pulled my knee up to press against his shoulder and started pounding into me at a speed I wasn't even sure was human.

"Shit Draco! Harder." We were both so responsive with one another and as I tipped over the edge I could hear him moan my name in my ear and his cum spilling out of me as he collapsed beside me and pulled me close to him.

Our breaths panting in the room was the only noise for a good solid five minutes before he turned to look at me and I propped my head up on my hand and turned to lie on my side.

"I hope you know Granger. You're mine now." He smiled and kissed me before I could register what he was doing he stood up and opened the door to the balcony and I could hear 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Happy New Year Granger!" I smiled over at him and he held his hand out for me. He pushed me against the railing of his balcony and pushed his cock back into me again. It was three in the morning before we were falling asleep and I hadn't slept as sound in a long time.

/--/-/--/-/--/

When I woke up the sun was coming up and I looked at the clock in Dracos room to see it was nearly ten am. He was sound asleep on his front when I flicked my eyes back over to him.

His whole body was relaxed and the dark mark sat angrily against his skin. I couldn't help but run my fingers across it. I couldn't help myself and pressed a kiss to it just as his eyes opened. I looked up at him and he pulled me up to his lips and pressed a soft kiss to my lips.

"Good morning." I smiled and climbed on top of him and had another two rounds before my stomach let out a growl and he laughed at me.

"Come on lets get changed and we will go get you food." I nodded my head and turned going to find a pair of jeans and t-shirt waiting for me. I stood and pulled the shirt he handed to me last night and threw it over my head.

"I sent Ziggy to get you some clothes. I figured you wouldn't want to tell the kids yet considering everything that happened last night." I nodded and thanked him by a small kiss, he returned the sentiment by lifting me up to wrap my legs around his waist.

As he pushed me up against the frame of the bathroom his bedroom door opened and the dulcet tones of Lucius Malfoy could be heard.

"Draco, I didnt have any luck finding her but the kids have been taken to the market by your mother." His eyes which were sitting on the paper up until now had flitted upward had settled upon his half naked son holding a half naked woman against the wall.

"Seriously Draco. You couldn't have waited a week, I owe your mother ten galleons." I narrowed my eyes at him as Draco put me down on the ground and I took my clean clothes to the bathroom to change.

I could hear hushed whispers behind the door and just jumped into the shower. I was only in it for a few minutes before he came in to join me.

"Sorry Hermione. I guess they have never walked in on me with a woman before so they dont knock. I can't believe my parents bet on us." He pressed soft kisses against my neck and realistically this Draco Malfoy was my favourite. I think I am now in a relationship with Draco Malfoy. The Heir of the Ancient anf Noble House of Malfoy, what was more surprising was his parents were ok with it.

That's us folks. Please Review and let me know your thoughts.
