Another one already! I just had to write again. Inspiration
struck�J
I promise things will get discussed, like more about Hermione�s children, as
the story develops. This story should take a while to build the way I want it to
and ends, hopefully, somewhere around Beltane(end of
April.) Right now they are somewhere around June or July. Oh, and the chapter
titles are kind of like a soundtrack. They are song titles of something I was
listening to that usually helps inspire me as I write. Anyway, thanks again for
the reviews. Please do review and give me any feedback you like. I love to
receive it.

Hermione smoothed out her black Moschino dress and looked herself
over in the mirror. She leaned onto the dresser counter and stared at her
reflection. What to do now?

Lucius was pruning her for the male wizarding community, but
was she truly ready for that? Looking pretty and having new clothes didn�t
change the fact that she was newly divorced and that she still felt
heartbroken. Only time, she supposed, would heal that ache and a handsome face
couldn�t help either. She flashed back to Lucius� smile when he first saw her
and smiled softly herself. He was quite the enigma, far from anything she would
have thought him to be as a young girl. But then again, she never would have
pegged Lucius as the type to be able to change. He had come so far since her
school days when she was nothing but a mudblood to him and his son. Now she was
treated as his equal, and he was showing her that he thought her worth far more
than the dirty nickname for her lineage.

She remembered the day well when she realized how human he
really was. She had always placed him in this separate category of unfeeling
monsters, content to rule the world through their arrogance and money. Once she
had started to work with him, locked in the same room for hours, she began to
see what really lay beneath the icy exterior of the sharp tongued serpent: insecurity.
All his arrogance, his pride, his extravagance was his way of hiding the fact
that he was worried what other people thought of him. The war changed that, she
surmised. It turned lives upside down and Lucius was definitely thrown from his
element. Especially when his family was cleared by the Wizengamot. The whole
wizarding world was shown first hand that Lucius Malfoy was not the cold
hearted bastard they�d all thought he was. No, he was a man in love with his
family. That day when it dawned on her, all her revelations about his man, was
the day Draco came to tell him he was to be a grandfather. It was easy to
remember because Rose was born the day after.

~Flashback~

�We found out yesterday father.�

Lucius looked somber from behind his desk, hands steepled in
front of his face.

�Aren�t you excited? We are going to name him Scorpius��

Lucius looked away from his son quickly before getting up to
stand near his office window.

�Congratulations Draco. That is wonderful news. I�m sure Astoria
is ecstatic.�

�Thanks Hermione. Yes, she�s elated and already planning the
nursery. How is yours coming along?�

She rubbed her bulging belly.

�Any day now�.I�m sure your father is just in shock and is
very excited. Isn�t that right Lucius?� she spoke gently as she approached his
brooding form.

He turned toward her for a brief moment and it was all it
took for her to see the tears on his face.

He cleared his throat.

�I am very happy my son. More happy than you could ever
know.� He spoke softly, turning to face him.

�We will have a family dinner this Sunday then?�

Lucius nodded and Draco hugged him before taking his leave.

When Draco had gone Hermione had placed her hand on his arm.

�Are you alright?�

He sighed heavily.

�I am happy that I will have a grandson, but��

�But...�

�Hermione, I have not been a good man. My past is a web of
lies and destruction. I was never a good enough father to Draco. I just hope he
is a better father than I ever could be.�

Hermione smiled.

�And you are worried this little one will judge you? Lucius this
grandson will love the you that you are now. The you of yesterday is gone.
Draco will be a wonderful father and you will be an even better grandfather.�

He smiled warily.

�You read me well. I had always wanted more children, but
Narcissa�once she produced an heir she was done. No more weight gain and
swollen ankles. I was grateful she had given me at least Draco if none else.�

�Well, you will be on your toes running after Scorpius when
he arrives.�

�As will you when Rose comes. Shouldn�t you be sitting, by
the way?�

~~

She shook her head to clear out the cobwebs and the buzzer
to her flat rang.

She slipped her Ferragamo wristlet purse on her arm before
heading to the door.

The sight that met her eyes caused her to smother a gasp.

Lucius Malfoy, king of the suit and stately attire, stood
before her in stonewash Diesel jeans, a black button down sport shirt with
white screen printing, and black loafers. His hair was loose about his
shoulders.

He quirked an eyebrow at her.

�Surprised I see?�

�Well..yes�I�ve never..�

�Well I wouldn�t want to outshine the star of the evening,
but I�ll be scouting for myself this evening as well as for you. And you look
smashing by the way.�

�Thank you. This is a good look for you. Much less imposing
and intimidating.�

�I�m glad you approve. Come, we have reservations. Do you
have a coat?�

�I think I�ll be fine. It shouldn�t get too cool tonight.�

�Alright.�

He held out his arm for her and she laced her arm through
his.

She stopped in shock again.

�Lucius, I�m not sure how many more surprises I can take in
one day! First you take the tube, then you rearrange a entire store�s schedule,
then a paparazzi setup, your outfit, and now you are going to tell me that you
can drive too and intend to drive us to dinner?�

He shrugged.

�Never a dull moment dear, I promise you that. Yes, I can
drive and will be driving us tonight. It�s a hobby. You�ll find I have quite
the collection of cars.�

�A hobby? Well, at least it�s not a Ford Anglia.�

�Ah no�and none of my cars fly either.� he said with a grin.

He walked up to the black Maserati GranTurismo and held open
her door.

As her legs hit the rich leather seats, she felt some of her
earlier melancholy slip into the back of her mind.

After he settled into the driver�s seat they were off into
the night. As his hand brushed her knee when he shifted, she told herself the
butterflies were simply nerves about the coming evening.
