Hermione hummed as she saw Draco read The Prophet on their dinning table in their flat. It had been three weeks since he spoke with Adrian and he had returned a worried man. On one hand he was happy that Astoria was agreeing to go to Azkaban and on the other hand he was not sure if he should have given them nine months of time. But Cho put his doubts to rest when she told him that Astoria had been mentally affected when she lost David as she had a very bleak outlook about life till she met him. Shen saw him as someone who would rescue her from her boring life and take her into a fantasy filled one. His death caused her to raise walls around her heart and she never let anyone in again. Had she not turned to Adrian for help, she would have gone ahead to do more violent things. Adrian had saved her in more ways than one. Draco was even more satisfied when Cho told them that both Adrian and Astoria had left England. Draco began to feel more and more calm as days passed. Right now Hermione was thinking about their children. She loved the flat but was not sure if she wanted to raise her children here. She wanted them to have a place to play and their flat was in a high rise building.
She looked at him and spoke, "Draco, you said that we would have a different house after the babies were born. Have you been searching for one?"
Draco looked up from the paper and smirked, "I am so glad you brought up this topic. I have already decided on the house but you have to finalise it. So if you are ready, I can take you there now."
Hermione's brown eyes lit up with anticipation," Of course I am ready. Just let me get a shawl. I can feel the cold nowadays." Draco nodded and stood up to get ready. He wore his blazer and then his cloak. He waited as Hermione returned dressed in a light yellow sundress and a shawl covering her shoulders. She wanted clothing that was not too tight and so she enlarged her sundresses round the waist which she loved to wear. She stopped wearing jeans as the waist band was cutting into her stomach no matter how much she extended the fabric. Being five months pregnant with three babies was tiring and she did not want the hassle of removing her tight fitting jeans everytime she had to change for the night. They took the floo to go to the place where their new house was. Only Hermione did not expect to floo directly into her new home.
She did not know where they were but the room was big enough to hold half their flat. It was a drawing room where guests would be entertained. Draco helped her to walk our of the fireplace. He had been holding her firmly when they took the floo because he knew that the landing would be tricky. He instantly smiled when he saw that Hermione was intrigued. She looked curiously at the drapes and the walls and the lamps. The furniture was exquisite of course and the rooms were spacious. She walked crisscrossing the furniture and finally turned and asked,"Whose home is this Draco? It is beautiful. I love it." She smiled brightly at him and his heart sang happily.
He walked up to her and put his arms around her and spoke, "It's ours if you like it." Just then Mipsy came in with tea and snacks and put in on a nearby table and left. Hermione looked at her surprised but before she could ask her something she was gone. Hermione asked Draco instead, "Since when does Mipsy deliver tea to us in another's person's home?"
Draco smiled sheepishly and told her, "Actually this is one of the houses in Malfoy estate in Wiltshire. We are about two kilometres away from Malfoy Manor. I have loved this house since my childhood. We never used it. Usually we had enough rooms to accommodate any number of guests. My ancestor built this about a century ago. Its a strong sturdy building and a cozy one. I always wanted something a bit smaller than the manor. It has seven bedrooms, three on the ground floor and four on the first floor. We have a nursery room as well attached to one of the bedrooms. There is the kitchen, the pantry, the laundry room, two bathrooms, a dinning room, a study room, a small library and of course the play room for our children. The first floor has my office, four bed rooms, four bathrooms, a small tea room and a floo room for personal use only. I know you will like this house, come with me love."
Pulling Hermione by her arm, he gave her a tour and showed her the rooms and the bedrooms, finally he showed her the nursery room which was attached to a big bedroom which he had planned for them. This way they would have easy access to their children and still have their privacy. Hermione was speechless. He had planned everything but then he was obviously a planner or else he couldnt have build such a big business empire. They stood inside the nursery Hermione looking at the small cradles and the small beds beside it. There were many things that Hermione just could not register all at once. She leaned against Draco who was standing behind her with his arms around her shoulders. She smiled and said, "This is beautiful Draco, you are right. I love this house. Its homely, just like I wanted it. But dont you think that the bedrooms above are more than we need?"
Draco sorted, "Nonsense, we will need them once our children grow up and will need separate rooms of their own. Besides where will Rose and Hugo stay when they want to stay with us or be with us for the holidays. I think this house is just right for us with the number of bedrooms."
Hermione looked at him stunned, he had thought about her children when she herself was yet to come to that point. She had simply assumed that her children might want to spend their holidays at the burrow. She never even considered that maybe her children might want to spend the holidays getting to know their new siblings. She felt a rush of affection flow throughout her body for Draco.
She slowly turned, pulled him towards her lips and whispered, "Draco Malfoy, you are an amazing man. If I wasnt five months pregnant I would have had my way with you in every room of this house."
They were fully embracing each other and grinning , "Well, if you want to , I know a few positions we can still try." He said winking and Hermione giggled.
"Then I suggest you leave the study table in the library alone. It is too old and not in a position to hold the weight of two people. Wonder why Augusta thought it was a good piece to have in the house." Murmured Narcissa as she glided into the room.
Hermione squeaked and let go of Draco who was also rattled by his mother's presence. "Mother! What are you doing here? how did you know we were here?" Draco spoke a bit miffed that his romantic moment with Hermione was cut short.
Narcissa laughed, "Honestly Draco, do you forget that I am the mistress of the manor? Besides Mipsy told me you were here. I am sorry to have intruded on your moment of intimacy but please carry one. I know we might have to get used to it since this is such a small house." Draco turned red as he heard his mother while Hermione shifted her gaze to stare at the flower vase. Narcissa looked at their faces and burst out laughing, " Oh please children! Relax! its not as if Draco never walked in on us. "
Draco glared at his mother and clarified, "It was two times mother! and both times you and dad were not in your bedroom."
Narcissa sniffed and replied, "We were just snogging Draco. We are husband and wife."
Draco snorted and whispered, "I dont think people call getting almost naked on the stairs snogging mother!"
Hermione looked at him wide eyed while he blushed and said, " They hardly had any clothes left on them and they were doing it on the stairs in day time."
Narcissa shook her head and remained unaffected, " In my defence dear, you were supposed to be in school studying. I have a large house of three storeys, seventeen bedrooms and seven staircases. How was I to know that you would come to the exact staircase on the second floor when your room was on the first floor?"
Draco took a deep breath and replied, " I did not know where you were mother. I was sent through floo by Professor Snape to get a permission slip signed because father had forgotten to do so. When I came to the library, Mipsy told me that you and father were on the second floor and so I came there only to witness something that I had almost successfully forgotten since. But as this conversation had happened I think I would have to try something stronger his time." Narcissa rasied her eyebrows in surprise while Hermione bit her lower lips hard to stop herself from laughing.
Narcissa smiled and spoke, "And to think I was expecting you to grow up! It was a off day for your father and we had a bit too much of wine..surely you know what an aphrodisiac sea food can be"
Draco looked horrified and closed his ears singing, "la de da de...la la al..la de de da de..."
Narcissa winked at Hermione who was now laughing out loudly just as Lucius entered the room and stood surprised to see his son sing in off keynotes. He looked at Narcissa as Draco stopped singing after seeing his father and asked, "Dont tell me, were you speaking about the time he saw us on the stairs?"
Narcissa nodded smiling and Lucius smiled and said, "Poor Draco was almost scarred for life. Anyway let's stop discussing that and show me the room you have selected for us my dear." Saying that he pulled Narcissa out of the room while Draco and Hermione exchanged puzzled looks and followed them.
Draco asked out of curiosity, " What do you mean by your room?"
Narcissa stopped and replied, " Why, the room where your father and I will be staying dear till the children are three years old. Surely you don't expect to handle them all by yourselves? That would be foolish. Children need lots of attention and poor Hermione will not be able to do that for the first three months. She will need an extra pair of hands, so I will stay here with you once they are born."
"And of course I will be here because you really cant expect me to stay in the big manor all by myself. I need Narcissa too you know." Told Lucius smugly.
Draco stood there flabbergasted while Hermione again bit her cheek to stop herself from laughing. She knew Draco was about to burst. Lucius however did not get the memo, " Well dear I think we should take the one with the view of the lake. I know how much you like watching the birds there. Come shall we tell Mipsy what she has to change in there? You know I hate bright colors." Narcissa nodded while Lucius called Mipsy as they walked to their chosen bedroom on the other side of the house.
Draco took deep beaths and turned to Hermione and spoke, " You know what darling, maybe I have been hasty. We can still check out other houses. We do not have to stay in this one...." He could not continue as Hermione burst out laughing loudly clutching her stomach and looking at draco's puzzled face. She found the whole situation so funny.
She calmed down after a few minutes and said, " Relax Draco, your mother is right. Taking care of three children is not easy work. Even with the four of us and the two elfs we will still have to struggle to make it work. Children need constant attention. I am happy that your parents will be there to help."
Draco nodded but asked, "But wont you find it odd to be with my father?"
Hermione shook her head, "you father has changed and think about this. They too are waiting to see their grandchildren for the first time. They might want to spend as much time as possible with them, get to know them. I dont mind them at all. In fact, the more , the merrier. I have done the raising them alone thing, you know, with Rose and Hugo and sometimes it was too much. I wish I had someone to help me at that time. This time I want to enjoy raising our kids with you and everyone else." Draco understood what she was saying and kissed her and asked, "So does that mean you are okay to move in?" Hermione smiled and nodded.
"Who is okay to move in where?"asked Lucius as he entered the room with Narcissa. Draco smiled and replied, "Hermione and I will move in shortly father."
Lucius raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "No you are not, not if you two are not married. I told you son, I will not tolerate illegitimate children. They have to be of married parents. So you better buck up and do as I told you to do and get married to her before you step inside this house."
Draco looked suspiciously at his father and asked, "Or else what father? What is it that you are not telling us? Father please tell us the truth or you know what I will do."
Lucius glared at his son's threat and replied, "Fine, fine....no need to get touchy. This house is part of the manor and it has blood wards around it. Now though Hermione is recognised as its mistress by the manor it would still need her blood to inculcate her in the family group so that she can move and apparate around freely. Also we have protection charms that are strengthened by the magical ritual during marriage where you and Draco will cut your palms and mix your blood, a drop of which will fall on the ground for the magic to absorb it and remember who Hermione is. I am just suggesting that you do this because if you don't , I would have to add you manually and these centuries old wards are a bitch to work with."
Draco looked at him for a long time before conceding to his logic. Hermione merely smiled and said. Thank you Lucius for thinking about me."
Lucius smiled a small smile and told her, "Well its the least I can do for my daughter who is giving me three grandchildren." Hermione and Draco looked stunned but Narcissa smiled and said, " Well after the wedding she will be our daughter right?" The young couple could only smile and nod, too happy to say anything else.
