Draco sent a message to the Auror office reporting that he was back and would be going in tomorrow. Then he sent a private owl to Harry letting him know this report would be his last as an auror. Hermione and their son would be coming in to settle their family affairs but that was it.

Monday morning the three of them walked into the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to a round of applause for Draco. He had single-handed dismantled the biggest Dark Wizard cartel in the Western hemisphere. There were handshakes, bear hugs, congratulations and questions about the wedding/honeymoon. Scorpius was in awe. He was very excited to find out that his dad was such a hero, just like he had heard stories about his mom and uncle Harry. When they made it to Harry's office door he welcomed Draco with the biggest man hug yet.

"Man is so good to see you. I've been living in regret since Hermione told me that she was pregnant. I'm so happy you are back with your family."

Draco patted his back

"None of us knew there was a family cooking when I left. I'm just glad I'm back now."

"Hi, Uncle Harry!"

Scorpius was hugging Harry's knees. Draco lifted an eyebrow.

"Uncle Harry, huh?"

Harry grinned "Yup. And guess what Scorp, someone came to work with me today."

Scorpius put his hands to his mouth in a surprise face "NO! Really?"

"Yup."

At that moment a little storm that looked like a miniature version of Harry Potter ran from the office and tackled Scorpius.

"Al! You are here, you are here! Look! That's my dad!"

Albus Potter stood up and pulled up his friend, then he looked at Draco from knee height.

"Wow! He's just like you, only bigger! That is so cool!"

Draco went down on a knee and extended his hand to the mini-Potter.

"Hello. I am Draco Malfoy. What is your name, young man?"

"My name is Albus Severus Potter. And I am Scorpius' best friend."

"Well, it's very nice to meet you. Now that I'm back we should go with you and your dad and Scorp to play Quidditch. Do you play?"

Albus and Scorpius jumped and yipped in joy. Draco stood up. He whispered

"Seriously? Albus Severus?"

Harry shrugged.

"What can I say. I'm sentimental."

The little Malfoy family plus Harry and Al went to the Family Affairs Division to put everything in order. Draco insisted on leaving Hermione in charge of Scorpius' vaults and trust fund and then the Potters witnessed the bonding ceremony of the little family. They were so excited about it that Hermione had to transfigure their clothes into little tuxedos, according to them that was what the occasion dictated. Hermione had purposely wear a white dress, though she was not a hundred percent sure this was happening, but hey, Draco told her to trust the magic and she did. Plus, he had chosen to wear a sharp suit too. He surprised her with a handful of seeds that he transformed into a bouquet of red roses for her. The ceremony was short and sweet, and when they walked out through the corridors of the ministry people applauded and transfigured rice that disappeared to the touch to toss at them.

They were about to reach the floo system when Draco stopped dead. He turned around and walked making a beeline. At the other side of the atrium was Cormac McLaggen. When they had walked by, McLaggen had a memory of the incident with Hermione, and that snapped Draco's legilimancy. Hermione tried to stop him but Harry held her. He knew about the unpleasant incident.

"Let him do it, he can handle it in a smart way."

Draco stood very close, forcing McLaggen to press himself against the wall.

"If you ever as much as spare a thought to my wife or son again, I will end you, McLaggen. Are we clear?"

The man didn't dare to blink. Still, when Draco was reaching his family the idiot said

"Fucking death eater."

By the time Draco turned around McLaggen was on the floor, nose bleeding. Hermione had her wand out but she didn't even need to point it to do the spell. She said loudly

"You should get your nose checked, Cormac. It just keeps bleeding."

Draco wrapped his arm around his wife, smirking. His perfect little lion.

EPILOGUE

Another year went by and there was nice little gathering going on in the gardens of Malfoy Manor. Narcissa and Lucius were sitting on a blanket sharing with Andromeda and Kingsley he's-not-my-boyfriend Shacklebolt. The two men had made peace as a part of the many miracles that Scorpius Malfoy-Granger brought to the world, and the former minister was patiently waiting for Andromeda to admit to their courtship openly.

Close to them were Ginny Potter and Hermione Granger-Malfoy, reclined on lounge chairs, holding their napping baby daughters, Lily Potter and Cassiopeia Malfoy. The two women were watching the little game going on on the small Quidditch court. Teddy Lupin and James Potter were playing goalkeepers while Scorpius and Albus were trying to be chasers against each other with their dads' help. The older boys were a bit bored but were promised that after a bit they would play two-on-two, Harry and James against Draco and Teddy, open hoops, no goalkeepers. That was an exciting prospect.

Ginny said to Hermione

"You still don't believe it, don't you. That this is all real?"

She smiled

"I'm getting used a little bit more every day. But I think Draco was right when he said I didn't trust my magic enough. I am learning though, and it makes me very happy."

Ginny smiled

"You know, people used to make fun of me as a kid for being in love with Harry. But the thing is, I felt it. When I saw him on platform 9 ¾. I was 10 years old and I spent the whole year dreaming of going to Hogwarts so I could be close to him. No one took me seriously because I was a child, and many things did happen before we became a real-life couple. But I was so sure about it because it made my magic vibrate. And I am sure your dreams and Scorpius' presence called on to Draco's magic. I'm sure that when he pushed his thoughts towards Narcissa she also tried to let him know that there was a very big reason for him to stay alive and to come back."

Hermione smiled, looking at her husband and her son, mirror images of each other. Just as in her dreams.

The End
