It was a small affair, the wedding of Draco Lucius Malfoy and Hermione Jean Granger. They had the wedding in the backyard of their manor. The place was trimmed and readied by Narcissa within two days with the help of magic and house elfs. Both Draco and Hermione did not want a big wedding especially since it was so unplanned and Hermione being five months pregnant. They did not want to be gossiped about as well. They had a traditional magical wedding with their combined blood being spilt on the ground like Lucius said. Hermione wore a crème coloured gown and Draco wore traditional dress robes in black and white. They spoke their vows as the priest conjured the wedding rings from the fire as they finished saying their vows with their hands intertwined as if taking an unbreakable vow. They put the rings on each other's fingers and kissed in the end. The people gathered there were only family and friends. The Weaselys, the Potters , Zabinis and a few who were required to officiate the ritual. Rose and Hugo took special permission from the headmistress to attend their mother's wedding. Even though they had been sad for the first few months about their parents divorcing, what assured them was that both their parents were still friends and their mother looked happier than ever. As teenagers they might have been selfish but seeing their mother glowing in her wedding dress made them realise that their mother deserved this happiness. Besides they had become quite close with Draco as well. He had been attentive to them always and even now he was showering love on their mother which kind of made them sigh with relief. They felt nothing but happiness for both of them.
Ron was the surprise though. During the divorce he had time to reflect on this life and actions and realised that he had never acted on his desires. He wanted to open a sports store, he wanted to write about Quidditch and its players but he never did that. Now he had time to make that happen. He had been extremely jealous when he came to know that Draco was Hermione's soulmate. But then he thought about his chemistry with her and recognised that maybe they were not that compatible as he thought they were. Seeing his ex-wife five months pregnant should have made him jealous instead he only sighed in relief that the babies were not his. He had thought long and hard about that particular aspect and felt that he did not want any more children. Sure, they were cute and made you laugh and forget your worries but raising them was a pain and he did not want to go through that again. He did not think he could bear to not sleep peacefully for the next six months after the babies were born and then the work! They needed to be fed, cleaned, bathed and looked after when they caught cold because every baby does catch cold. No! He had his share of experience and he felt nothing but fear and pity for Malfoy who was going to have to look after three babies all at once. He was happy with his situation, he could do as he pleased especially since Rose and Hugo would be going to University in the next two years. He planned to enjoy his bachelor hood. He did not want to get hitched, instead he wanted to enjoy life on his own before he considered settling down again. He wished nothing but happiness for his friend and her partner. Narcissa and Molly cried while Lucius and Arthur offered them their shoulders and handkerchiefs. Ginny and Harry smiled happily at the couple as did their three children.
The newly wed couple were given a toast under a huge tent erected to hold the feast, following dancing which started at noon and continued till night. George, Bill, Percy and Charlie with their wives danced along with the new couple after they had their first dance. As usual Narcissa had outdone herself with the decorations and the food. Hermione felt tired and was allowed to sit for a better part of the duration of the party. Draco sat with her as he saw Rose dance with Ron. He smiled at them and then whispered to Hermione, "In seventeen years time that would be me and my daughter. I am so excited! I will have a girl."
Hermione nodded and replied, "I know and I even had dreams about her. She has the cutest nose and she called you dwaddy."
Draco looked at her in surprise, "I had that dream too you know! I am so scared also. I don’t want my sordid past to affect my children. I am hoping that there will never come a time when they might hate me for it. You...only you Hermione can tell them the truth and explain my actions to them. I don’t want my children to hate me you know. I don’t think I could bear to live with that."
Hermione pulled him closer and hugged him, "My love, your children will know everything about you and they will still love you just like you love your father no matter what. Don't underestimate what a father means to a child. He is their real life hero even if he does not do anything heroic. They will love you unconditionally especially your daughter." That made Draco smile. He wanted that desperately.
Harry Potter eyed his best friend as she kissed her new husband. He was happy that she found someone who cared for her so much, even if it was Malfoy. He was still worried about Astoria and had taken precautions. He hoped it was enough to keep Hermione and the babies safe.
Some where in Tuscany, he opened the huge door of his villa and walked in to see her all draped on their silk covered couch reading The Prophet. He smiled at her relaxed form. He had been longing to see her like that. He hid the basket away before he walked up to her and sat beside her. Astoria noticed him and sat up. She kissed him smiling at his happy face. She had been waiting for him since morning. Adrian kissed her back and then spoke, "It happened this afternoon. They are married now. It was only friends and family."
Astoria nodded her head sadly saying, " And I am neither friend nor family anymore but thats okay. I am happy for them. Draco will finally get the life he deserves. A soulmate and children to call as family. I hope he forgives me."
Adrian looked at her and said, "I know I am not your soul mate but I do love you Astoria. You are my family."
Astoria looked at him in surprise and realised that she had not spoken the words that had been ringing in her ears for months now. She smiled at him and cupped his face in her hands and replied, "And you are mine Adrian. You are my family now and I love you too. Please dont think that I am saying this out of obligation. I really do love you. I just did not realize it until I considered what it would be like to be away from you and inside a prison. I knew I liked you but when I wrote my confession I thought about the one person whom I would miss the most if I was to go to jail. And that person was you Adrian. I knew then that I loved you more than anyone else in this world or beyond. And I dont want to live without you."
Adrian looked into her blue eyes and smiled, his eyes filled with tears as he remembered how devastated he had been when he had lost her. Now she was back and she wanted him for ever. He had never felt such happiness that spilled through his eyes. He hugged her fiercely and then left her to bring in the basket. He asked her to open it. Astoria opened it with curosity and laughed out excitedly when a puppy jumped out of it. She kissed the Golden Retriever pup and then kissed Adrian thanking him for such a cute present. The puppy began to immediately sniff around the room scratching the carpet and barking at the fire. Both Astoria and Adrian laughed at its actions. The pup came prancing towards them barking in its cute voice jumping and trying to lick them. They both got busy trying to entice the puppy to play with them.
Harry walked up to the newlyweds and raised his glass toasting, "To good life and love forever." Draco and Hermione raised their respective glasses and clinked against his. Hermione smiled as she realized that Harry was beginning to accept Malfoy as a part of his life. He congratulated them and then signalled Draco to come with him with a slight nod. Hermione noticed it but did not say anything. When Draco stood up to leave she fumed and said, " I saw that you know and I am letting you go because I am pregnant. When you come back I need full details from one of you." Draco smiled at her as did Harry before they left her to go to a secluded area."Nothing gets past her does it?" Said a surprised Harry.
"You should know. She is your best friend." Said Draco.
Harry nodded smiling at him, "Draco, I wanted to give you an update about the Astoria situation. They have moved to Tuscany. He has a villa there. He was there when the war broke out. He is looking after her and she seems quite happy. Two of my men are watching them constantly. It seems Cho is taking care of her recovery. They have sessions every other day. Things seem to be quiet now. I will let you know if anything changes."
Draco nodded sagely and replied, "I hope she recovers and never comes back. Thank you for your help Potter. Without your help, I would have never agreed for a wedding here outside. I feel much relaxed now." Harry agreed and they both went back to their wives.
It was two in the night when everybody finally left. Hermione had already left to sleep as she felt tired. Only Draco was still there talking to everybody and dancing with Rose, his mother and other Weasely wives. He danced with Molly as well who got emotional everytime they talked about his babies. Ron and Harry were the last to leave. Lucius and Narcissa too left early as they felt exhausted after dancing for hours. Rose and Hugo both left early to report to school. Finally the house was empty except for the elves who refused to stop working as they wanted to clean the house before retiring. Draco asked them to stop repeatedly but finally gave up. He knew it would be easy for them with their magic.
She was deep in sleep on their silk covered bed which Ginny had decorated inspite of Hermione's objections saying that this was not required. Ginny had huffed saying this was her wedding night and it deserved a decorated bed. He removed his clothes and got in to his pajama pants. He slid inside the covers, moving towards her. He saw her breathing softly and smiled at the woman who had captured his heart, maybe along time ago. He touched her stomach tentatively hoping to not wake her up. He kissed her forehead and then settled beside her with his hand on his babies. Hermione moved instinctively and shifted towards him. She pulled his arm over her as she snuggled besides him. He smiled and said, "Goodnight Mrs Malfoy."
Months passed on and the Malfoys life fell into routine. The news of their marriage was received with the usual noise which decreased with each passing day. Hermione was least bothered by it as her children and her family were okay with it. Draco began to look to lessen his responsibilities for a short term as he knew he wanted to be there with Hermione for the next three years as they raise their children. He had the help from Blaise and from his father who agreed to take care of some businesses for a limited period. He waited anxiously for the time when their babies would arrive. The plan was to have the babies at home as Cho has agreed to deliver the babies. He had everything ready by the end of eighth month. He waited nervously because Cho had warned him that she might go in to labour early.
One morning he came back from his office to find the elfs flipping the mattresses of his mother's bedroom manually without magic. Intrigued he asked his mother what was happening? His mother replied that Hermione wanted to cook and since the elfs would feel bad she had them engaged in that meaningless task. Alarmed Draco went to look for Hermione in the kitchen. She was nine months pregnant and walking was a huge deal for her. He did not want her alone. He found her making custard. Relieved he smiled and went up to her. She looked at him smiled and looked puzzled and then cringed her face. They both looked down to see liquid between her legs. She looked at him with wide eyes as she spoke, "Draco, our babies are coming." His face paled as he looked at her and then fainted. Hermione was in a bit of pain but could not stop laughing at the sight of Draco fainting. She knew she was being mean by laughing but this was funny. She had already had two children so this was not new to her but poor Draco was becoming dad for the first time and the pressure was too much for him. She calmed down and then using the enervate spell woke him up. He looked ashamed but Hermione put him at ease saying all new dads did that. Somewhat pacified he helped her to the bed which had been prepared for her birthing. Draco flooed Cho who came in immediately.
Narcissa looked worried as she supervised the elfs to keep the hot water ready and the cloths required for cleaning. She sat down for a moment to breath easy. She was going to see her grandchilden soon and the anticipation was more than she could imagine. Lucius heard what was happening and went inside the study to hide. He was never good at these things. He had lost too many children with Narcissa so he got too wound up about his grandchildren as well. He prayed inside his study that everything should go smooth because he did not have it in him to hear any bad news or to see his son suffer anymore. And so the wait began in the Malfoy household to receive their next generation.
