Four Years Later…

Curtis, Gofreddo and Scorpius were playing outside on their brooms. Aurora, Katriona and Alina were playing with Aurora's dollies on the lawn. Draco was at work and Ginny was visiting for the day. Ginny had a three year old Lucas on her lap as she talked happily to Hermione. Hermione sat comfortably lounging on a sun bed. She was approximately four months pregnant with yet another little Malfoy.

"Did you hear that Pansy is pregnant?" Ginny asked.

"Are you talking about me again?" Pansy squealed as she made her way into the garden with her two daughters. Ilenia and Natascia quickly joined the girls playing on the lawn.

"So, you're pregnant?" Hermione grinned.

"Yeah… so are you!" Pansy replied slightly sarcastically. "Are Daphne and Parvati coming over today?"

Hermione nodded.

"Great," Pansy smiled, "I can't wait to tell them."

Hermione grinned at her friends. Soon the five mothers were sat together in the garden as their children played happily together.

Six Years Later…

Hermione grinned as she watched her two eldest children board the Hogwarts Express. Scorpius and Katriona really wanted to go as well but Draco reminded them that they only had to wait one more year. Anthony was on his father's shoulders, waving frantically at his big brother and sister. Anthony was an adorable five year old. They had planned to stop having children after Anthony but they hadn't quite managed that. They had a beautiful two year old son called Andrew and Hermione was pregnant again with twins. Draco put his arm around Hermione, "should we go home love?"

Things hadn't gone to plan but they were somehow perfect. Along the way, things had come against them and their family but they had been strong and stood against every obstacle. They had overcome so much. No one ever could have predicted that they would have fallen in love. No one could have predicted that they would have a happy future or a happy family – but they did. They had it all – well almost everything. Hermione still hadn't become a healer. She wanted it so much but she knew that her children needed her. Draco seemed to know automatically what she was thinking. Perhaps it was one of the consequences of being married for ten years, but he seemed to know her better than anyone, "perhaps when the babies are born."

"Sweetie, you know I'll never want to leave them when they are born," Hermione grinned, "I don't regret it."

"I know love," Draco smiled, "but I want all your dreams to come true."

Hermione smiled into her husband's grey eyes. Draco continued on, "after all you've given me mine. I've got the most beautiful wife and the most incredible family I could ever wish for… you gave me everything when I deserved nothing."

Hermione stood on her tip toes and kissed him gently, "I love you – you are my dream."

Eleven Years Later…

Things had changed so much over the years. Hermione couldn't believe that she was forty years old. She'd finally trained as a healer. She was only working part time at St Mungo's but at least it was something. Aurora was getting married in a few weeks. She still couldn't believe that her little princess was twenty two years old and in love. She knew that Teddy would be good to her but it still seemed so bizarre. Curtis had a girlfriend as well; Alina, Ginny and Blaise's daughter. Scorpius wasn't any better. He was twenty one years old and dating Ron and Pansy's daughter Rose. Scorpius' twin sister was far too focused on becoming a healer like her mum to have a boyfriend. Anthony had just finished his sixth year at Hogwarts and had received his letter the day before saying that he was head boy. The best thing was his girlfriend Ileana (Harry and Daphne's youngest daughter) was head girl. Andrew was thirteen and loving Hogwarts. Hosanna and Malachi were due to start at Hogwarts in September and they couldn't wait.

Things between Hermione and Draco hadn't changed. They still felt the way they did when they were in their final year at Hogwarts. If anything they loved each other even more than ever before. They had everything they had ever wanted. They sat together in their living room with Draco's parents. Lucius was reading the paper. Narcissa sat comfortably reading a book, "I miss having little children around the house."

Draco snorted, "I think you'll have to wait for some great grandchildren mother."

Hermione laughed, "actually…"

"Hermione, you've got to be kidding me," Draco replied.

Hermione laughed again, "fraid so love."

Narcissa jumped up excitedly, "I'm so excited."

Hermione frowned, "yeah… I was looking forward to having a quiet life but it doesn't look like that's going to happen."

Draco pulled his wife closer, "Oh well… at least the kid will be cute and mother will be happy."

Lucius snorted from his armchair, "please don't keep reproducing just to please my wife. We'll never have a quiet moment if she has her way."

Draco grinned, "don't worry father. This will be the last one… I promise… Nine kids. Bloody hell. You aren't having twins are you love?"

"No… hell no," Hermione laughed.

"Thank Merlin," the Malfoy men sighed in relief.

Five Years Later…

Things would never be the same. The Malfoy family were all packed into a small waiting room in St Mungo's. Aurora was in the delivery room with Teddy, embarking on the adventure of parenthood for the first time. Curtis and his wife Alina were sat, hand in hand, in the corner. Alina's hand was resting on her stomach as a tiny bump was finally visible. Scorpius and Rose were stood together by the window whispering. Rose had a beautiful engagement ring on her finger; a slytherin green emerald that had made her father frown – he'd have much preferred her to have a red ruby. Katriona had finally found herself a boyfriend. He was a year older than her but she really liked him. Parvati and Theo's son, Enzo was also a healer at St Mungo's and had pretty much become family over the last few months. Anthony and Ileana were still dating even after finishing Hogwarts. Anthony was an auror and Illeana worked at the Ministry as an unspeakable. Anthony was sat next to his brother Andrew. Andrew had just finished Hogwarts and had gotten himself a girlfriend. Luna Lovegood's daughter Peighton. Hosanna and Malachi had just completed their fifth year at Hogwarts and had done fantastically in their O.W.L.s much to Hermione and Draco's pleasure. They were playing wizarding snap as they waited to hear about their sister. Draco sat next to his father and mother, his foot tapping gently. Hermione had a five year old Sharon on her lap and held her husband's hand tightly.

"I thought it was scary enough when it was you in there," Draco whispered to his wife, "but my little girl is in there… it's horrifying… so scary."

He looked slightly pale, "Don't worry love – she'll be just fine."

Twenty minutes later, the waiting room was even more full as Harry and Daphne joined them, quickly followed by their family and Andromeda. Ebony and Castore joined their friend Curtis in the corner. Illeana put her hand in Anthony's and kissed him softly on the lips. Their other daughter Alison stayed with her parents. They Potter children saw Teddy as a brother and so they couldn't resist the chance to come and meet their adopted brother's child. A few minutes later a healer called out for Hermione to go in. Hermione stood up, giving Sharon to her father before walking out of the waiting room. The sight that waited for her was amazing. Her beautiful daughter was laying down in bed with her arms around a tiny bundle. Teddy stood to her side gazing down at the child in his wife's arms. "Mum," Aurora smiled, "I want you to meet my little girl; Hannah."

Hermione stepped forward, "wow. She's beautiful; absolutely perfect. Do you want me to get your father?" she asked her daughter before turning to Teddy, "your gran? Harry? Daphne?"

"Yes please," the couple smiled.

Hermione called the four of them into the room, "Come meet our granddaughter. She's absolutely perfect."

Later that night, Draco and Hermione curled up in bed together, "can you believe how perfect our little Hannah is?" Hermione asked as she ran a finger down Draco's chest.

"Can you believe we're grandparents?" Draco smirked.

"I'm feeling suddenly old," Hermione laughed.

"It all seems slightly perfect doesn't it," Draco smiled. "I love you Hermione Malfoy."

"And I love you Draco Malfoy – you've given me the world."

"And you've given me yourself – you're my world." Draco leant in and kissed his wife. Even after all these years he still loved her more than anything in the world.

"These last thirty two years have been the best years of my life, you know that right?" Hermione asked.

"Love – the last thirty two years have made up for every bad moment that I've ever experienced. They've healed me. You've healed me. When we were younger I was a mess. Arrogant. Moody. A Deatheater. But you fixed me… I love you – you really are my world."

REALLY REALLY hope you enjoyed the story. I've really loved writing it.
