Malfoy Manor

Two weeks after Halloween Draco and Hermione were in the foyer of the Manor preparing to apparate to Hogsmeade. They were meeting Anthony and Jessica for lunch, as it was a Hogsmeade weekend.

Annabelle was at George and Pansy's house, playing with Toby and Sidney for the day and Narcissa was away at the Malfoy villa in the south of France.

"Are you ready love?" Draco asked as Hermione fastened her cloak. She only nodded and walked out the front door.

She had been behaving strangely for a couple of days. Draco was worried he had done something and didn't know it.

Hermione however wasn't mad at Draco in any way, she was just extremely nervous about what was going to happen at lunch.

She had received a letter from Anthony two days ago.

Flashback

She was sitting at breakfast; Draco had left for work and Annabelle was eating her cereal, when Toppy came in with a letter

Dear Mother

I hope I find you well. I am looking forward to seeing you in Hogsmeade this weekend. However, I think I need to tell you something first. For the past year I have been dating Alice Weasley. Mother I love her very much and we plan on telling you and father and her parents this weekend, but considering the problems we have already faced with her brother I thought maybe it would be best to prepare you first, Alice is also writing to Aunt Luna. I hope you will be happy for us and look forward to our meeting this weekend.

All my love

Anthony

Hermione felt immediate happiness and sat smiling at the table, then Draco and Ron came into her mind and a sinking feeling came to the pit of her stomach.

End Flashback

Now they were leaving to meet the children at the Three Broomsticks and Hermione was preparing herself for a fight.

….

Hogwarts

Anthony and Alice met in the entrance hall. Alice was white as a sheep, terrified of what her father was going to say and Anthony was preparing himself for all manner of hexes to be thrown at him.

They walked down to Hogsmeade with the other students and made their way to the Three Broomsticks. Anthony requested a private room from Madame Rosmerta, who showed them to a room upstairs "Madam Rosmerta, my parents and Ron and Luna Weasley are meeting us, could you let me know when they are here?" Anthony asked the now aging witch, flashing her a winning smile.

"Of course dear boy, oh don't you look like your father, handsome young man he was" she said patting his cheek and leaving the room.

"Okay, that was slightly disturbing" Anthony remarked, after the old witch was out of hearing range.

"She's right though, you are a very handsome man" Alice replied, embracing him and running a hand over his face before pecking his lips.

"Well yes, we Malfoy's are quite the lookers" Anthony smirked, and then laughed at the look on Alice's face.

"Don't get too cocky love" she told him before pecking him on the lips again.

"Oh Merlin, I'm really dreading this, my dad is going to go mental" Alice groaned, hiding her head in Anthony's chest.

"It will be okay baby, you forget who my mother is, she'll help us, I'm sure of it" Anthony assured her, kissing her hair.

There was a knock at the door and Madam Rosmerta came in and told them that Hermione and Draco were downstairs.

Anthony pecked Alice on the lips one more time and followed Madam Rosmerta down to meet his parents.

He walked over to the table his parents were sitting at. "Oh Anthony, we're so happy to see you" Hermione said standing and embracing her son, who was at least a foot taller than her now.

"Lovely to see you mother" Anthony said, disentangling himself from Hermione and clasping Draco's hand firmly.

"Son, we just saw Jessica outside with Albus, is she not joining us?" Draco enquired, pulling a quite uncomfortable face when mentioning Albus Potter.

"No, she isn't, I actually wanted to speak with you both and Jessica kindly agreed to skip lunch, I think she would like to meet you at Madam Puddifoot's for tea though, if you have time" Anthony replied, putting on his Malfoy mask, trying to keep calm.

"Of course son; is anything the matter, are you okay?" Draco asked.

"Yes father, actually I asked Madam Rosmerta for a private room, would you join me?" Anthony asked, turning towards the stairs.

They followed their son up the stairs and entered the room behind him, Draco stopping when he saw Alice sitting on the sofa in the room.

"Alice, what are you doing here?" he asked, kindly but with suspicion.

"Err...hello Uncle Draco, Aunt 'Mione…." She looked to Anthony for help.

"Father please sit down, we wanted to talk to you" Anthony told him gesturing to the chair opposite the sofa, which he him self sat on.

Hermione followed suit sitting on the armrest of Draco's chair, ready for any reaction he may have.

"We had hoped that Uncle Ron and Aunt Luna would be here at the same time but I guess we knew that wasn't going to happen" Anthony started, "sorry love" he added to Alice at his criticism of her parents.

"It's fine, you're right, they're late for everything" she replied, almost laughing at her scatty parents.

Draco's head snapped up at Anthony's endearment towards Alice "What do you mean Love? Anthony Cygnus Malfoy, you will explain right this instant" Draco snapped.

Hermione put a hand on Draco's shoulder to calm him, and look towards the young couple "come sweetheart, explain what's happening"

"Okay mother. For the last year Alice and I have been seeing each other, and I am very much in love with her. We never said anything with the marriage law; we knew that it couldn't be how we wanted but now it can so we want to make it official and tell you and her parents" Anthony said all in one go so Draco could not interrupt.

Draco sat glaring at his son, Hermione smiling at the couple. The silence in the room was deafening and a knock on the door made Alice jump.

Hermione got up and answered the door to Madame Rosmerta; "Mr and Mrs Weasley are downstairs" she informed them before turning and walking away again.

"I'll go down and get them" Hermione told them before leaving the room.

"Father, please say something" Anthony pleaded, his father's silence was worrying him much more than any explosion of temper would have.

"I have nothing to say Anthony, nothing at all" Draco replied, looking away from the young couple on the sofa opposite him.

"Father please, can't you at least try to be happy? You accepted Jessica and Albus" Anthony reminded him.

"Jessica and Albus are not claiming to be in love and they did not keep it a secret for a year. How dare you come to me and tell me this, my own son with a Weasley, a Malfoy and a Weasley… I am going to be quiet before I say something I regret" Draco stopped there.

"Uncle Draco please, I love him, and so what if I'm a Weasley, you married aunt 'Mione and she and my dad are best friends" Alice tried to reason.

"Alice, I do not wish to be rude to you, so I think it is best if you stop there" Draco replied.

Hermione walked into the room with Ron and Luna. Ron immediately saw the close proximity of his daughter to Anthony and exploded "What the fuck is going on here?"

Hermione stopped him "Ronald, don't you dare start before they have the chance to speak"

"I will 'start' with my own child whenever I see fit Hermione" he said her proper name just as she had used him "Alice get over here now"

"Dad please, let us explain" Alice tried to say but Ron had already realised what was happening and was having none of it.

"Alice, if you even think of telling me what I think you're going to tell me, just don't. My daughter is not having any kind of relationship with a Malfoy; you can forget it right now!"

"But daddy, I love him" Alice whispered, holding back her tears, the look on her fathers face cutting deep.

"Alice Hermione Weasley, you will stop this ridiculous nonsense this second and leave this room with me, I had to accept him for Hermione" he said pointing at Draco, "I am not accepting his kid for my daughter, that's a line I am not crossing"

Hermione pulled Alice behind her back and stood face to face with Ron, who was still just by the door of the room, Luna still in the doorway, quietly watching what was happening.

"Ron, you seem to be forgetting that you are also talking about my son, me, Hermione, your best friend since you were eleven years old. My son. I think you had better think very hard about what you are saying before another word comes out of your mouth"

Hermione didn't shout, she didn't even look angry. She looked calm, exactly how Ron knew her to look when she was at her angriest, however this time he didn't care. He turned and walked out of the room, leaving Alice sobbing.

"He's so pigheaded" Luna finally opened her mouth. " Alice come here" she said and put her arms around her daughter. Luna was still the dreamy, relaxed blonde of her teen years, but being mother to Ronald Weasley's children had taught her a lot, she had grown up.

"I'll talk to him love" she whispered to Alice, kissing her forehead and waving to the rest of the room before following her furious husband.

Anthony walked over to Alice and held her close, allowing her to sob into his shirt.

Hermione looked to her husband, who was still looking away from the entire situation, "Draco do you have anything to say?"

"No" he answered coldly.

"Then if you would, go to Madam Puddifoot's and meet Jessica and Albus, I will join you in a minute" she told him, and he got up, not looking at his son, left the room.

"Anthony, Alice go and sit down" Hermione told the couple, shutting the door.

She walked over to them and sat in the chair Draco had vacated.

"Alice, your father has always been a pig-headed idiot, but he loves you very much, he will come round. I never told Anthony this, but my father reacted the very same way to Draco when he realised who he was, and it took my whole pregnancy with Anthony for him to come round, but now, he loves him like his own son" Hermione reassured the young tearful girl.

"As for Draco, I'll give it a week before he has accepted you, if he doesn't he will regret it I assure you, so don't worry ok" Hermione said.

She then got up and kissed the couple on the cheek "I better go and find my stubborn husband and calm him down before he does something stupid to poor Albus. I am very happy you found each other and support you one-hundred percent, I love you both" she said before turning and making her way out of the door to the private room.

"Anthony wait here, I just need to talk to your mother" Alice said before quickly going to the door and exiting without giving him the chance to answer.

"Aunt Hermione" she called, stopping Hermione as she was about to descend the stairs.

She turned and came over to Alice wrapping an arm around her "what is it Alice?"

"I need your help with something, I can't go to my mum, she wouldn't be able to help with this, you know how she is" Alice told the older witch.

"Alice, I was there when you were born, you can come to me with anything" Hermione reassured.

"Oh Merlin, please don't be angry" Alice groaned as fresh tears spilled from her eyes.

"Alice, tell me" Hermione said, holding her a little closer.

"Aunt Hermione, I haven't even told Anthony but…..my period is late"
