A/N: I've uploaded four new chapters to this so that I could get it caught up to the other website that I post on. So, if this was confusing for you, go back and start with chapter 10. That's where the new chapters begin. ; )

Hermione stiffened slightly as Draco pulled away from her. She immediately missed his warmth. She couldn't believe that she had kissed him. She was so confused. While she still loved Ron, she couldn't deny the affection that she was starting to feel for Draco.

He seemed to truly care whether or not she could see her children. Despite his cold exterior, she could tell that underneath his aloofness that he was a caring individual. She'd seen his interaction with Scorpius and she couldn't deny that he loved his son dearly. She'd witnessed the pain in his eyes as she'd leveled her accusations against him.

She felt bad now for accusing him of wanting to keep her away from her children. She knew that her words had wounded him. Her emotions were chaotic and jumbled. She missed her kids and the Weasley's and her husband. She was terrified that in just a couple days time, she would be life bonded, mate to two individuals, one of which was the same age as her own daughter. She was scared that she would be stripped of her will, that she wouldn't be able to resist their dominance over her. She was afraid that she would be turned into some sort of baby factory, that she would be secluded within this gloomy house and be pregnant as often as Scorpius could manage it.

Most of all, she was scared that she would lose who she was. She was afraid that she would forget who she was as a person, that she would allow the Malfoys to turn her into who they wanted her to be.

She leaned back in her chair and clasped her hands in her lap as Draco released her fully and sat back on his legs in front of her. She avoided his gaze, embarrassed and ashamed from the kiss she'd given him a few minutes prior. She shivered as his fingers smoothed under her chin and tilted her face so that he could look at her eyes.

"Don't be embarrassed, love," he murmured quietly. "I know you're confused and I can't apologize enough for the situation that we've all found ourselves in. I know that if I'd been a man all those years ago and told my Father to go to hell when he'd declared that I couldn't follow my instincts and claim you properly, we wouldn't be in this mess. I'd have courted you, wooed you, and made you the next Lady Malfoy. Scorpius would have been our son and starting his search for his mate. Due to my cowardice, everything is twisted into something that should have never been. But things are what they are. I can't change them. We can only deal with everything that is thrown at us. I know that I love you. I have for a very long time. And I can't deny how happy that it has made me that you are here with me and my son. I hope that someday, I'll be able to make you happy in return."

Hermione wasn't surprised when his lips pressed gently once more to her own. She remained passive in his grip, neither encouraging nor reciprocating but she also didn't fight him as his lips moved softly against her own. She was torn in her heart and soul. She couldn't reconcile her love for Ron with her growing attraction to Draco.

He withdrew reluctantly. Standing to his full height, he pulled her from her chair. "Come," he commanded. "Let's get you a cloak. I want to take you somewhere."

She allowed him to lead her to the closet and didn't protest as he pulled a fur-lined cloak around her shoulders. He put a hat on her head and tied a scarf around her neck. With a wave of his wand, he removed the wards and pulled her out the door. A quick walk later and they were in the entryway.

"Where are we going?" she asked curiously as she watched him pulling on his own coat and gloves.

"You'll see," he said mysteriously, a mischievous glint in his grey eyes.

He pulled her into his embrace. "Hang on," he entreated before he turned and pulled her into the dark abyss.

She opened her eyes slowly after they'd landed and widened in shock as she took in their surroundings.

"Is this…?" her words failed her as a tiny elf rushed across the street.

"Yes," Draco confirmed. "Welcome to the North Pole."

She turned to him and kissed him soundly on the lips. She had no idea that this place was actually real. She'd thought that Santa Claus was nothing but a muggle myth. Draco chuckled and tugged her hand to get her moving.

She was still in shock. "Why didn't anyone ever tell me that Santa Claus was real?" she demanded as they walked passed a stable. As she looked closely, she realized that there weren't horses inside but reindeer.

"It's probably something that just never came up," Draco explained. "Think about it, how do all those gifts magically appear under the tree every year? Someone has to put them there."

"I guess I just took it for granted," she lamented. And she did. She thought it was just something else in the wizarding world that just happened. But there was no doubt about it. This place was magical. She could feel the energy buzzing in the air.

"Well," Draco asked. "What do you want to see first?"

Hermione looked up and down the bustling street. The place was positively teeming with activity. Which made sense since Christmas was the day after tomorrow.

"I don't know," she admitted. "Why don't we start at the end of the street and work our way to the other end?"

"Sounds like a plan," he said as he took her hand in his.

They walked in and out of each shop. Hermione was awed by the sights and sounds of the little village. They had a magnificent candy shop that put Honeydukes to shame. She got Hugo and Albus a huge cache of candy that would surely last them until the spring. She found a bookshop that had more rare texts than she'd ever seen. She got Rose a rare book on magical creatures. She found a toy store that was magical all on its own. Teeming with elves, all running to and fro building toys at a remarkable pace. She bought Lily a beautiful doll that acted just like a real baby through the use of a clever charm. For James, she bought a fully functioning toy broom and a service kit. She knew that he was quite the aspiring flyer. She didn't have any money, but Draco paid for her purchases. She'd almost balked at his offer but since he was the reason that she didn't have funds of her own, she didn't feel too badly about it.

She'd been able to pet the reindeer and was treated to the sight of them flying around the sky. She'd even had a glimpse of Santa Claus himself. He looked just like the muggle version right down to the big belly and long, white beard.

They stopped and Draco treated her to a low-key dinner at a small diner on the outskirts of town. The food was delicious and she even got the butterbeer that she'd been craving. All in all, she'd had a wonderful afternoon. And she felt so much better now that she'd been able to get some things for her children. She didn't want them to feel like she'd forgotten about them.

"I had a good time today," she admitted after they landed back in her bedroom at the manor. "I had no idea that all the stories were true." It had surprised her that she'd had such a fabulous time. The North Pole just might be her new favorite magical village. She wished that she'd known about it when her children were still young.

"I know," he explained. "That was the point. I knew that you were restless and had nothing to think about except for all the bad things happening. And I also knew that you hadn't been able to do any Christmas shopping. I thought that this would serve to kill two dragons with one stone, so to speak."

"Thank you," she said. She knew now that he did care about her. It must have tired him greatly to apparate them to such a distance away. She appreciated the fact that he made the effort to take her mind off of what was going to happen tomorrow night. Her stomach clenched uncomfortably when she thought about the fact that she was expected to bond with Scorpius in less than twenty-four hours.

"Your welcome," he returned. "It was nothing, really. I had a good time as well. I haven't been to the North Pole since I was a child. I just thought, with everything happening, it would be a good thing to get away for awhile."

She hummed her approval as he sealed his lips over hers once more. She was seriously crushing on Draco Malfoy. He'd proved himself to be more than the cold, cruel little boy that she remembered. She granted his tongue access as he swept it over the seam of her lips. She couldn't get enough of his taste. She rolled her hips against him as the kiss intensified. She groaned as he pulled away too soon for her liking.

"I must go," he said quietly. " Before I loss all control. Just remember, everything will work out in the end."

She sat down on the bed dazed as he swept from her room. She hoped that he was right. She couldn't help but be scared and more than a little apprehensive about the following night. The night when she would see Scorpius for the first time after his transformation.
