Chapter 42- Home
Epilogue
Monday June 5th, 2006
Today is the day of Draco’s twenty-sixth birthday. He was never one to be happy about his birthday. Mainly because his parents just spoiled him in the latest things but never really spoiled him with the attention he actually wanted. But he had his own family now, and Hermione did everything possible to make sure his birthday was not only special but she made sure he also felt wanted and needed.
Since they had been married, five years ago, Hermione had always thrown a party for him. At first it was just the two of them. Then it was just her, Scorpius, and himself, before it became a large gathering of their closest friends and family.
After Scorpius turned two, they had moved into a large suburban white house, with a ton of huge windows, that not only was she happy about, but he felt comfortable with as well. He was accustom to large mansions and living spaces, but Hermione unfortunately, was not. So, they settled for a three thousand square foot house in Southampton, instead of the five thousand square foot glass one he wanted.
However he couldn’t complain. The backyard alone was almost the size of the house and throwing any get together, was made easier. The Potters two kids, along with George’s son and Bill’s, loved to play in the yard with Scorpius. Today was no exception.
Everyone who was invited was getting married and having children in some way or another and that included Ronald Weasley. He had gotten together with surprisingly, Astoria Greengrass. And they were expecting their first child in October.
Neville and Luna however, never really hit it off and went their separate way, but still remained friends. Luna was actually engaged to Blaise now, which was a shock at first to all of their friends. And Neville started dating a muggle girl he met a few years ago, named Cindy and man, was she smart.
Hermione and Cindy at first didn’t like each other. Hermione was always known as the smartest of the group and when Cindy came along, it became a battle of who was smarter. Although, now they have become friends and Hermione, she still held the title of the smartest witch of their age due to Cindy only being a muggle.
Theo was still single but ready to mingle. He had had his fair share of girlfriends over the years but none of them wanted to take the relationship to the next step and Theo was more than ready settle down. Draco just hoped he would find that special girl one day soon. Single Theo, was beginning to drive him mad.
Draco still didn’t know much about Percy or Charlie Weasley, seeing as they only ever show up for a few hours during the holidays before having to suddenly leave for something important with work.
His parents though, along with Hermione’s, absolutely fond and spoiled their grandchild with love, toys, and sweets. Even Molly and Arthur Weasley spoiled Scorpius like he was their own grandchild. Draco thought his child was the lucky kid in the world; having three separate families to call his own. However, he could now say the same about himself.
Draco looked up at the three large pictures handing on the wall in hallway by the open kitchen. One thing both he and his wife made sure to never change during the transition of becoming a family, was the pictures that held the memory of their late loved ones. The very people, that helped them both, more than they could ever know.
They had enlarged the moving picture of the Titanic to practically take up the whole white wall with the other two framed photos on either side of it.
Cindy thought they dressed up for one of those Old Time Photo recreations, muggles like to do, and was a little shocked that the ship and the crowd moved when she first saw it. But she passed it off as some kind of mechanical thing. Draco still didn’t understand what she was talking about when she tried to explain how it worked. He knew how the pictured moved but no one was ready to tell Cindy about magic until Neville was certain he was going to marry her. So, naturally almost every event she was invited to, had to be non-magical. Wands were checked at the door and were not handed back until the guest was about to leave.
But, it did help everyone learn to function without magic. Hermione’s parents had taught them all a lot about how muggles do things. Only Harry and Hermione, of course, already knew. But Blaise and George fell madly in love when they learned about, what American’s call soccer, and how to man a barbeque grill.
To everyone surprise, they had learned quickly and became exceptionally good at grilling. Mr. Granger and Blaise were only in charge anymore though. George had taken it upon himself one day, three years ago, to try and charm the thing to cook his burger faster and well, we can all assume how that turned out. He had managed to set the blasted thing ablaze and Hermione had to douse the flames with an Aguamenti spell. Harry Potter had to clean up the mess and Obliviate Cindy since she was present at the time. Mr. Granger banned him from ever touching any grill again, unless he was present to supervise and that, is basically how every party from then on, became non-magical.
Also three years ago, Hermione had become Minister for Magic and Draco was never more proud of her accomplishment. Her life had become busy though with her duties in the government and his at Malfoy Inc. but they did their best to make sure they still saw each other and stayed happily married. Every day though, they fell more in love with one another.
Draco would shower her with red roses and treated her to a home cooked meal, without magic, every night for dinner. She in turn, always had a pot of coffee and full breakfast waiting for him every morning. They would come home for lunch to spend time with their son, giving the nanny a break for an hour every day.
Life in the Malfoy household was amazing. It was something Draco had never dreamed of happening to him and he had not only the stones to thank, but Aquila and Cygnus Malfoy as well. If it wasn’t for them rewriting their Will to allow him to marry Hermione, then he would be unhappily married to Astoria and possibly end up having a long time affair with his now wife.
He also had to thank White Star Line, for creating the magnificent ship that help him realize what he had been missing in his life. The Titanic was more than just a luxury ocean liner to him. It was his past, his present, and his future. Every day he would find the time to look and study the pictures and every time he would find something new. He had made it his mission to memorize and search the names of each and every face that appears on board the ship. He had made sure every single one of their families, were taken care of.
His corporation had hit over 2.3 billion galleons in the last few months alone that he could afford to help those whose loved ones perished on that fateful day in 1912. He had also donated to numerous museums around the world that catered to holding memorabilia of the Titanic.
One thing though, he never thought Hermione would agree on, was watching the 1997 James Cameron movie based off of what they had experienced in real life. If he would have watched that movie, never having been on the ship, then he would have thought it was just a love story with a tragic ending; but since he lived it, well, it made him appreciate the accuracy the director was trying to accomplish. The detail alone, of not only the interior of the liner but the parts he never witnessed, like the boiler room and death of people in their beds, blew his mind.
It was hard for both of them at first; seeing the ship come back to life and seeing what each one saw from the others perspective, almost made it impossible to finish. He saw what the ship looked like from the life boat Hermione was supposed to be in with Molly Brown, and Hermione witnessed what he went through when the ship snapped in half.
They both had to take breaks throughout the movie and Ginny and Harry even had to pour them both drinks to help them get the courage to keep watching.
He liked the movie however. It helped them both remember the pain and struggle they went through for each other. Now, he wouldn’t have let Hermione jump back on the sinking ship if he could help it, but he knew the love story in the movie was not theirs. But he did appreciate it. What shocked him the most though, was the door the character Rose was laying on. It was the same exact door he practically died on and he had to get up and get some air before finishing the scene.
Draco continued to study the picture of the Titanic sitting in Berth 44 as every memory came back so vividly. He felt feather soft hands wrap around his torso as Hermione’s head rested on his back. He instinctively turned around slowly and wrapped his arms around his wife.
“Happy Birthday Draco.” Hermione smiled, while hugging him tight.
Draco smiled warmly and placed a tender kiss on top of her glowing brown hair.
“Thank you, little one.”
“What are you doing in here when your party is outside?” she asked now resting her head on his chest.
“I just wanted to think.” He replied through a sigh and rested his chin on top of her head.
“About what?” she asked sweetly.
“You…me, us…everything we have been through and how grateful I am to have you in my life.”
Hermione smiled up at her husband after hugging him tighter and moving to look at the photos.
“We owe them so much.” She claimed, leaning her head on his shoulder.
“We owe them everything…It’s too bad they will never get to meet our children.”
“I think they are watching over us…and they technically have already met Scorpius, but…” she trailed off and stepped forward.
Draco half-smiled and placed himself to the side of his beautiful wife. Kneeling down he touched her large pregnant stomach and felt his baby girl kick. They both let off a chuckle and he placed a soft gentle kiss upon her swollen belly.
“Dimitra Aquila Malfoy, it is my honor, to introduce you to your family…Past, meet present.” he turned to the pictures on the wall as a tear began to form in his eye and smiled. “Present…meet past.”
