Draco and Hermione managed an emergency marriage — conducted by none other than Kingsley Shacklebolt — and a honeymoon at Hermione’s cottage on the Isle of Man before Hermione forced Draco back to work and returned (while she could) to her own legal practice.

Rachel — bless the woman’s brains and heart — left them six weeks of meals in stasis, thus preventing a row over the use of house elves while pregnant. She and Richard were given a well-deserved vacation after promising to return at least a month before the twins were expected.

Having seen to their immediate family, the newlywed couple retired to the island for some quality alone time. As the new “Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy” had much to discuss, Lucius “volunteered” to see after Lyra after agreeing to take her to that “horribly inadequate” school she attended.

With stress and nausea (meaning: Draco’s) within the manageable range, Draco shagged his bride until both were sore before asking how she’d pulled it off.

“For someone so steeped in their own traditions —”

“It’s a pure-blood thing.”
“— how could you not have known about the fertility protections set up by your own family? Hmm, Mr. Pure-Blood?”
“I don’t u-u-understand?…”
“The Malfoy Trust was established to ensure there’d be lots of quality Malfoy marriages and lots of Malfoy babies.”
“Never heard you use that word before.”
“What??? Trust?”
“No. Babies.”
“Get used to it. In any case, the trust was magicked to bring couples together in a way that would create solid, and hopefully happy, marriages. The magic in the Trust ensured that Malfoy heirs selected sexually compatible fertile females. Did you know your ancestors were among the first Druids?”
“No.”
“Why do you have a library the size of Windsor Castle if you don’t use it!? The tradition that bound all future Malfoys to the Trust had Malfoy parents ‘observe’ a number of young guests at social events. Blood Malfoys literally ‘feel’ an attraction to a potential mate — the diary described it like a tingling or quiet bird call whenever they were in close proximity, as you know. The Malfoys would make sure to give the potential couple some privacy. Ever wonder about those secret sconces on the estate where Lyra likes to hide?”
“No.”
“You’re an arse, Draco. Affluent Malfoy parents added those hideouts so they could watch the couples while they were alone. It was pretty obvious which pairings had the strongest chemistry. The Malfoys would initiate a marriage agreement and voila! A happy couple and lots of little Malfoys.”
“Wait — that would mean Malfoy males got to choose their fiancées!”
“They did — which boosted their fertility and the size of Malfoy families. And by the way — blood status never mattered. Lilith is muggle-born, like me; so are Druscilla and Gwynddh. Cecille, who married one of Gwynddh’s sons, was a muggle and she wasn’t the only one. The largest Malfoy families have muggle-borns as their matriarchs. You have muggle, muggle-born and half-bloods in your family tree until about 300 years ago. That’s when Humfray Malfoy, the only dull-witted Malfoy I’ve ever met, bought into the whole aristocratic superiority nonsense spreading through muggle Europe in the 16- and 1700’s.”
“So it really was a pure-blood thing.”
“And a stupid one. Blood status entered the search for a mate and that’s when Malfoy birthrates declined. As more and more arranged marriages ignored the magical attraction bred into every one of you Malfoys, fewer and fewer Malfoys were conceived.”
“What about Lyra?”
“We conceived Lyra on the Solstice. I did mention your ancestors were amongst the first Druids; weren’t you listening?”

With Hermione spread out for recreational purposes on their bed, Draco’s brain only assigned three thinking cells to her missive.

”No. What about that ceremony?”

“You really don’t remember any of this, Draco?”
“No.”
“I couldn’t marry you until your marriage to Astoria was magically annulled despite our partial bond. Because of your vows, all of our children had to be conceived on a Druid feast day until we married properly. The Druid magical blessing boosted our bond and nullified those Malfoy wedding vow restrictions. Beltaine was our last chance before the hearing. Be glad I’m muggle-born; no old magic could have overcome your fertility ‘problem’ with any pure-blood other than Astoria; you’d be impotent and sterile even in the private library. Didn’t you ever feel like the room was different?”
“No. Why the library?”
“You mean why did we have orgies?”
“No. Why that room in the Manor?” he mumbled as kisses fell onto her breast without a touch to her nipples, beginning the ending of all the talking, “Not that I’m complaining.”
“Aloysius built the library — it was his home with Lilith. The Trust spell ensuring fertility and heirs was originally cast there. Whichever Malfoy decided to place the house up there during construction of the Manor either didn’t know or didn’t mention that fact in your family diary. You have actually read your family diary, haven’t you?”
“No. What about our sexual appetites?”
“A charmed gift from your magically sophisticated ancestors — Aloysius and Lilith continue to set an example, in case you haven’t noticed. More sex used to guarantee more Malfoys.”

The lengthy discussion of fertility and procreation had his cock tapping out a salsa rhythm on her hip. Knowing she had to get this out before her took her again, Hermione rolled to face him (and place some distance between her and that long, thick, pale temptation she’d be applying judicious attention to soon enough).

“Your mother told me she had six miscarriages. She and your father are well matched but something about them both being inbred pure-bloods made your conception a miracle. They love you a great deal, Dragon; as much as you love Lyra.”

“I’ll love our sons, luv. I won’t starve them for affection.”

The knuckle of his index finger stroked her smooth belly, reinforcing his message.

“I don’t doubt that. I’m preparing you for the possibility that Lyra will be our only daughter. That… magic was designed to produce male heirs. It increases the probability of males statistically by 60% or more to satisfy the trust inheritance. This wasn’t a problem when Malfoys were making 10 or 12 children but I doubt —”

Quidditch reflexes had her under him before her gasp died.

“Let’s practice! If you agree to have 10 or 12 Malfoys, I agree to put them there.”

“As we can’t put any there right now because the incubator is presently occupied, I’ll think about a more reasonable number.”
“I want another daughter. Please?”
“Draco, I’m not turning into a brood mare at 26 because you’re an absolute wimp around our daughter.”
“Please, Hermione?”
“Do you realize that could mean eight or more children!?”
“Please, Lioness?”
“It’s not fair to ask me this when you have me at a disadvantage, Slytherin!”
“You knew what you were getting, witch. Shame to waste that addition Richard and I put on.”

Ever optimistic regarding the outcome of their pursuit of an heir, Draco designed and Richard magically built a six-bedroom add-on to Hermione’s cottage with a nursery adjoining the master bedroom and a two-story playroom off the kitchen.

“Figures. Thanks to you I unknowingly commit adultery, end up bonded to my school tormenter and become an unwed mother — now you want to turn me into Molly Weasley.”

“She smiles every morning, doesn’t she?”
“Y-Yes… She does.”
“How’d you like to have that smile every day we’re together?”

Malfoy portraits did enjoy rather active and interesting “lives”…

“Smiling for that reason does not require a large family size, Dragon.”

She’d called him “Dragon”. He was wearing her down.

“One more after the twins and we reconsider?”

Lyra would be closer to Hogwarts age then. Sending her baby to boarding school would make getting Hermione pregnant again soooo much easier.

“Alright, Dragon…”

“Good. Shut up and spread those endless legs…”

Having reviewed and reconsidered every aspect of the memories from all involved parties, Hermione arrived once again at her previous conclusion — virtually all the toughest challenges and the most exquisite joys in her life since her first days at Hogwarts could be blamed on her mate: Draco Lucius Malfoy.

It was completely Draco’s fault. ALL of it.

AN: Thanks to all who commented. I had a blast reading them. To those whose feedback required a reply:

RavieSnake: Thank you for the enthusiastic response. Patience… RE: Ron - Check out the first few paragraphs of Ch. 2 again… The soaking tub part especially…
Rose Davis: Glad you liked it. I figured a guy who cheated (Ch. 2), couldn’t be bothered to please his wife (Ch. 2) and got kicked out of the Burrow while unemployed for inviting “guests” into his parents super-jet bathtub (Ch. 4) would be the perfect mistake for Astoria and a good twist in the (almost) denouement of the Malfoy heir/trust problem. There’s still the little issue that started all this “remembrance” in the first place (see Ch. 1 for reminders).
FieryPhoenix: Okay — which bonding chapter (it’s written in two parts)? Thank you for the kind words (whichever chapter it was). And I agree about the risk to Hogwarts of having those two — Scorpius Hyperion and Orion Perecles — together on one planet. As to confusing the sorting hat, the progeny of that bond have their own ways of confusing the hat…
Trelweny: Have to give Lucius a break in this case. In Ch. 13 (after the broken windows and the events in the private library) Draco tried to tell Lyra at breakfast about the possible sibling and Hermione punched him. She followed with a white lie that they were “discussing getting you a pet” to which Lucius replied that’s an interesting name for a sibling. So Lucius can be cut a bit of slack since he doesn’t know the details of the Ministry meeting yet. As for Ron, canon says he LEFT the woman he loved in danger when he LEFT the horcrux hunt. Didn’t just take a long walk within the wards — he ended up spending serious time away from Hermione and Harry. I’d say chasing down his ex- (especially since he despises Draco Malfoy in canon) to get an explanation of whether she cheated on him while he was cheating on her wouldn’t be so odd. Check out the first few paragraphs of Ch. 2 again — the soaking tub part especially — and his repeat of that behavior at his parents’ place at the end of Ch. 4. I'm just channeling that “emotional teaspoon” part of his inherent relationship laziness. Doesn’t say Ron tried to hex her, just says he wanted to reduce to the distance between them to get “clarification”.
