After tea and cakes at Madam Puddifoot's with Jessica and Albus, Hermione and Draco picked up Annabelle from Pansy's and flooed home.

They flooed into the large fireplace in the living room and were met by a grinning Blaise.

"Where have you two been? You look bloody miserable Drake" Blaise said, practically bouncing out of his chair when they came in.

Annabelle's ears perked up at Blaise's statement "oooh Uncle Blaise said a bad word" she whispered rather loudly to her mother.

"It's ok sweetheart, Uncle Blaise didn't mean to. Why don't you go up to your room and find some toys to play with?" Hermione told her youngest, watching as her blonde curls bounced when the young girl skipped from the room.

"Lovely to see you Blaise" Hermione said, "any news on Lavender?"

"Yes, there is some" Blaise beamed. "I went to the ministry this morning, spoke with Grogan Lufkin himself. Since Lavender left of her own accord and has so far been untraceable, they are going to dissolve the marriage without a hearing, I'm free!"

"Oh that's wonderful" Hermione told him, giving him a small hug and turning to Draco.

"Great news mate" Draco mumbled, although he hadn't managed a smile since leaving the pub. A fact that had not escaped Hermione.

"What the hell is wrong with you man? I'm free, we should be celebrating" Blaise said, walking over to the small bar in the corner of the room and pouring two glasses of firewhiskey, after Hermione indicated that she didn't want one.

Hermione joined Blaise at the bar and whispered to him "We met Anthony's girlfriend today. It's Alice. Draco's not happy. I don't know what do." before taking a glass of firewhiskey over to Draco.

Blaise looked directly at Draco "What's wrong with that, you and Ron are friends? Hell we've gotten drunk with him more times than I would care to admit. I don't understand the problem"

Draco finally spoke up "The problem is that the Malfoy's and the Weasley's do not date. We never have and if I had my way we never will!"

"Oh what a load of rubbish" Hermione interjected "Twenty years ago the thought of us being together was completely out of the question and we are married with three children, you sound ridiculous Draco"

"Oh really. Well tell me this dearest wife; if there hadn't been a Marriage Law, do you think you would have ever seen me again after school finished? I don't think so." Draco furiously asked, losing his well-kept temper a little.

"I guess not, but it's too late now anyway" Hermione said without thinking.

"Of course its not too late. They aren't in love. They have no idea what real love is" Draco snapped. Hermione looked down, she couldn't tell him about Alice's pregnancy, it wasn't her place.

"Hermione. What aren't you telling me?" Draco asked, knowing her body language all too well after seventeen years of marriage.

"Nothing" she mumbled, looking anywhere but at her husband.

"Err, maybe I should go" Blaise started to say, but Hermione stopped him with a shake of her head. She was going to have to tell Draco the truth and a little back up for the impending explosion would definitely be appreciated.

Draco completely ignored the interruption and raising himself to his full height and asked Hermione again "Hermione, what aren't you telling me?" keeping his voice calm and even.

Hermione took a deep breath and looked back to her husband "You may want to sit down love"

"I will not sit down, answer me" he snapped again.

"Drake, calm down, she's obviously going to tell you" Blaise interrupted but quickly quieted down at the look he received from his friend, clearly telling him to butt out.

"Ok fine" Hermione decided the best way to do this would be like pulling a plaster off; quickly "Alice is pregnant"

Draco stood stock-still and silent for a full minute; just staring at Hermione as if she had told him that she had bought Annabelle a Hippogriff as a pet. Hermione looked to Blaise, using her eyes to ask for help. She had never seen Draco go into shock like this before.

"Drake? You alright mate?" Blaise asked his oldest friend, waving a hand in front of his face.

"Yes" was the short replied he received before Draco began putting his cloak back on.

"What are you doing love?" Hermione asked, unsure of what Draco's next move was going to be.

"Going to Hogwarts" again a short reply.

"What? Why?" Hermione was now really worried about what he was planning to do.

"Going to kill my idiot son" Draco turned and walked towards the fireplace.

"WHAT?" Hermione pulled her wand from her robes "Impedimenta" she screeched at Draco, stopping him in his tracks.

"Hermione! Take this damned jinx off me right now!" Draco shouted at his wife, feeling oddly like he was losing his balance, however still standing in the position he had been in when he was hit with the jinx.

"Not until you begin to think rationally again" Hermione said, stowing her wand in her robes and standing in front of Draco with her hands on her hips.

"Draco, you cannot go storming into the school. Be realistic" Hermione tried to soothe, although the look on Draco's face made it quite clear that it was not working.

"Hermione. Take the jinx off me now" he warned, his voice deep with anger.

Furious at the way Draco was speaking to her, Hermione turned and walked out of the room, leaving Draco stuck in his mid-stride position and Blaise with his jaw on the floor.

"Blaise. Please get me out of this jinx" Draco pleaded.

"No way mate. I don't know much, but one thing I know is you don't cross Hermione Malfoy" Blaise said shaking his head. "Look mate, I know this is bad, and to be honest if it was BJ I would probably be the same way, but Hermione's right, you need to calm down"

Draco's head dropped, his shoulders would have too however Hermione was nothing if not powerful when it came to her spells "I know" Draco stated plainly.

Hermione had been listening outside the door. When she heard that Draco had calmed down, she pointed her wand at his and muttered "Finite Incantatem" stifling a laugh as Draco fell forward.

Hermione then proceeded upstairs to find Annabelle.

…...

Hogwarts

Three days after their meeting with Professor McGonagall Anthony and Alice each received a note from the headmistress at breakfast.

It read

Please meet me in my office during lunch. I have news of our previous discussion.

Regards

Professor McGonagall

Alice looked up from her seat at the Gryffindor table to Anthony at the Slytherin table.

He smiled to her, showing he wasn't worried although he was a little. He didn't want to leave school and he certainly didn't want Alice to have to leave. He could have kicked himself for getting her pregnant, although he was rather excited about the baby already.

After breakfast the 7th years Slytherin's and the Gryffindor's had Potions together. Anthony and Alice sat together at the back of the classroom.

Professor Herron, the young witch who had taken over when old Professor Slughorn had finally passed on, came into the cold dungeon and flicked her wand at the old chalkboard, the instructions writing themselves for today's potion, a Calming Draught.

They set to work chopping up ingredients, "I'm worried love, what if the governors said no?" Alice whispered to Anthony over the bubbling cauldron.

"Then we will leave. Alice I love you, and I love the baby, nothing is going to separate us, I promise" Anthony replied quietly.

"I know love" Alice replied with a smile.

After finishing Potions and having break and Divination the couple made their way to Professor McGonagall's office.

The Professor met them outside the office and whispered the password to the stone gargoyle and they went up the spiral staircase and into her circular shaped office.

Professor McGonagall indicated that they should take a seat, and sat opposite them with a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Well I spoke to the governors on your behalf. Obviously having Hermione on your side helped a lot. They are going to let you stay, but there are some conditions" she told them.

"That's brilliant" Anthony exclaimed, taking Alice's hand.

"Hold on babe" Alice whispered. She looked to the professor "What are the conditions Professor McGonagall?"

"First and foremost, the only reason this is being allowed is because there are already some married couples here, the school is most likely going to come under some heat from parents for this, so the governors expect the following, you are to marry this weekend, the sooner you are married the better things will look"

Alice and Anthony both nodded in agreement, they didn't want to wait anyway.

"Second, your work must stay at the high standard that we have come to expect from both of you, if you fall behind in any of your classes, they will not allow you to continue at Hogwarts. Now you are two of my top students, I fully expect that you will be able to follow this condition" Professor McGonagall smiled slightly for a moment at the couple, sure that they would keep their grades up.

"We will Professor" Anthony answered confident in their ability to do so.

"Ok, so lastly, I have invited both your parents here, they should be here within the next few minutes. We need to discuss the wedding and what is expected with them too" the Professor informed them.

Alice paled immediately. She gripped Anthony's hand harder. "Professor, my parents don't know about the baby, neither does Anthony's father"

"I see, well, if your getting married in a few days you need to tell them, so now is the opportunity" Professor McGonagall told the young witch.

Not even a minute after the Professor finished her sentence Ron and Luna knocked on the office door.

Professor McGonagall flicked her wand at the door and it swung open to admit them. As soon as Ron saw that Anthony was in the room, holding his daughters hand, his ears went red and he exploded.

"What the bloody hell has he done now? Get your hands off my daughter!", Luna put a calming hand on his shoulder and said her hellos to the group in the room.

"Mr. Weasley, I will ask you now to calm down, I called you in here for a serious discussion, not for you to throw a tantrum." Professor McGonagall told him, pursing her lips.

Appropriately chastised, Ron sat down in a chair that the Professor had conjured next to Alice, Luna next to him.

Hermione and Draco followed them shortly after. The polar opposite of Ron, Draco came in and sat down in silence, not looking at the young couple or anyone else in the room for that matter.

"Well now that we are all here, lets get started. From my understanding Hermione and Draco already know what this is about" Professor McGonagall addressed the group.

Anthony looked up at that "How does my father know?"

"I had to tell him Anthony, I'm sorry" Hermione answered putting a hand on his shoulder.

Anthony looked back down at his and Alice's joined hands and continued to wait for the bomb to drop and for Ron to try and kill him.

"Would you like me to continue or would you like to tell your parents Miss Weasley?" the professor asked Alice.

Alice opened her mouth to speak, then nerves got the better of her and she closed it and shook her head.

"Ronald, Luna, unfortunately an event has occurred and the school and board of governors have had to take the matter into serious consideration. It would appear that your daughter has become pregnant. We have discussed the matter at length and have come up with a reasonable way of handling the situation and I invited you here today to discuss this with you" Professor McGonagall told them.

Ron went from tomato red to ghost white in a matter of seconds, the freckles on his nose and cheeks becoming very pronounced "Sorry Minerva but I think I heard you wrong there, it sounded like you said that my seventeen year old daughter is pregnant"

"That is precisely what I said" the professor confirmed. Ronald whipped out his wand and aimed it straight at Anthony.

"Ronald Bilius Weasley, what in hell do you think your doing?" Hermione shouted at her best friend, getting up and casting a silent 'Expelliarmus' and taking the wand as it flew through the air.

"And he calls himself an Auror, getting disarmed that easily" Anthony muttered, earning himself a clip round the head from his mother.

"If you so much as speak Anthony Cygnus Malfoy, I will ground you for the rest of your life, do not be cheeky to one of my friends" Hermione warned her eldest.

"He just pointed his wand at me!" Anthony protested, but quickly closed his mouth at the furious look his mother gave him.

"I'll do more than that, you wait until I get my hands on you" Ron warned Anthony.

"Oh Ronald do shut up" Hermione said, glaring back at her best friend, "our children may have been completely stupid but if you so much as harm a hair on my son's head I will not be held responsible for my actions"

Ron sat back down and just glared at Professor McGonagall's desk, it had been one thing to learn of the two children being a couple at the weekend, but this just took the biscuit.

"Professor, is it safe to assume that you have discussed the governors ruling with the children?" Hermione asked.

"Yes Hermione I have" the professor confirmed.

"Good, well I will explain it all to Draco, Ronald and Luna. I think we should let the children go and get a little lunch before they have to go back to their lessons" Hermione said, and the Professor nodded in agreement.

Anthony and Alice got up and left the room. "Come on, let's go to the three broomsticks, we need to talk" Hermione said.

The foursome got up and after nodding to McGonagall, left the office and the castle to walk down to the pub in Hogsmeade.
