Epilogue.

Eight weeks later.

"It feels good to be home," Hermione sighed, looking around the penthouse as she stepped from the floo network.

Hermione and Draco were returning off their honeymoon. The pair had been married two weeks previously in an intimate ceremony in front of their family and close friends. Hermione had invited all the Weasleys, and apart from Bill and Fleur they all attended and congratulated the couple with a smile. Hermione had actually invited Bill and Fleur, but Bill visited Hermione and explained that while both he and Fleur wished her and Draco all the best, Fleur just wasn't comfortable attending the wedding. Hermione had actually been extremely relieved at the news since she only invited Fleur as she wanted to invite Bill and it wouldn't have been right to invite him without inviting his wife.

"I miss Hawaii," Draco said, dropping the cases onto the floor before he sent them flying to the bedroom using magic.

"You're just missing the sun and sex," Hermione chuckled.

"Can you blame me, it's pouring outside," Draco said, gesturing to the rain that was pelting off the large window of the front room. "And we haven't had sex in over five hours, I think that's the longest we've gone for this past fortnight. Well, except from when we were sleeping."

"Thank god for sleep," Hermione muttered.

"If you're sick of me already, just say the word," Draco said, pulling Hermione into his arms.

"And what, you'll leave?" Hermione questioned with a chuckle. "It may have slipped your mind but we're stuck together now."

"Ah yes, I keep forgetting that we're married," Draco joked, taking hold of Hermione's hand and running his finger over her wedding band.

"I thought you may have forgotten since you've never once called me Mrs Malfoy this past fortnight," Hermione laughed. In actual fact Draco had called her little else than Mrs Malfoy and wife.

"Luckily you had something to remind me," Draco grinned.

Hermione laughed as she realised what Draco was referencing. On their first night on honeymoon, Hermione had changed into some underwear that Ginny had gotten her. The underwear was Slytherin green and silver and on the seat of the knickers were the words 'Mrs Malfoy'. Draco had loved having his name displayed across Hermione's backside, and it had gotten her wondering if she should have a small tattoo of his name in a heart somewhere discreet where no-one but him would see it.

"I guess we should unpack," Hermione said as she reluctantly stepped out of Draco's embrace.

"Is it worth it if we're thinking of heading to Australia?" Draco asked, following his wife as she headed into the bedroom.

During their honeymoon, when they weren't making love, the couple had spoken about the future. Draco was planning on joining his father in running the family business, whereas Hermione wasn't sure what she wanted to do. However, what she was sure of was the fact she wanted to find her parents and return their memories before she settled down to live her life. If she got a job before they travelled to Australia then it might end up being months before they could go and find her parents, and she'd already been without them for well over a year now. Therefore it was decided that once the couple had caught up with their friends and family they would head to Australia where they could search for Hermione's parents and hopefully restore their memories.

"We're not running off to Australia just yet," Hermione replied as she opened one of their bags and began to use magic to repack. "It'll still be a few weeks before we leave. Besides, we're going to want different clothes for Australia. I think I took a handful of outfits to Hawaii, it was mainly skimpy underwear and tiny bikinis."

"You didn't hear me complaining, did you?" Draco chuckled as he threw himself onto the bed and watched as Hermione began to sort through their luggage.

"Don't just lie there, find the presents we bought for people," Hermione said.

"I'm sure no-one's expecting anything," Draco told his wife as he summoned the presents to him and began sorting them. "We were on honeymoon, I think they'll understand that shopping wasn't our top priority."

"I know people won't be expecting anything, but I couldn't resist buying souvenirs," Hermione replied as she headed over to her dressing table and replaced her jewellery in her jewellery box.

As Hermione continued to unpack the couple carried on chatting. As they spoke it was decided that Hermione would send an owl to Harry and Ron to let them know they were back so they could arrange a time to meet up and catch up. Ginny would be back up at Hogwarts for her final year, but Hermione knew it would be easy to arrange a trip up to Hogsmeade. Hermione knew that Ginny would want to hear all about the honeymoon, while Harry and Ron would probably just be happy to have her back. Harry had accepted her marriage a lot easier than Ron, who still struggled to be polite to Draco, but on a whole their friendship was still going strong, much to Hermione's pleasure.

Draco also decided to send a message to Blaise, who as far as he knew was still in the country and was actually considering moving back home. Draco hoped his friend did move back to England as he'd thoroughly enjoyed having Blaise around in the weeks leading up to the wedding.

"What about the rest of the Weasleys?" Draco asked.

"I'll pop to The Burrow one afternoon. I can talk to Molly and leave their presents," Hermione answered. "Although I'm guessing you'll want to arrange a meeting with Fred and George, and I'm not sure but I think Charlie might still be around."

"Yeah, we can do that." Draco grinned at the prospect of spending time with the twins and Charlie. He liked all three Weasleys and they all got along well, in fact Blaise had taken a liking to the twins at the wedding and he suspected if his friend stuck around that another friendship would be blossoming.

"We can ask them round to the penthouse one afternoon," Hermione suggested.

"Maybe we can meet elsewhere," Draco said quickly. "Every time the twins are here they drop hints about wanting to move in. Did you hear Fred on his first visit, claiming that the penthouse would be the perfect place for his recuperation?"

"It is really good for when you're recovering and want plenty of rest," Hermione said. She was now fully recovered from her accident, although she got blinding headaches every few weeks and she found the best way to end them was to lie down in a quiet room for a few hours.

"Luckily Fred's fully recovered, therefore he doesn't need somewhere he can get rest," Draco retorted.

"You can send a message to the twins and Blaise, while I grab a quick shower." Hermione said to her husband. "I can then send a note to Harry and Ron while you shower and when you're finished we can go to the manor and see your parents."

"Or we can both send our notes now, have a long relaxing bath together and then go to the manor," Draco countered.

"I like your idea better," Hermione grinned.

After sending notes to their friends to let them know they were back, Hermione and Draco headed off to enjoy a nice relaxing bath. Of course the fact they were both naked led to a bit of fun and it was a good couple of hours before they emerged from the bathroom and began to get dressed.

Once they were dressed, Hermione grabbed the presents for Draco's parents and the couple flooed to the manor. Arriving at the manor the couple left the floo room and headed to the main living room that Lucius and Narcissa preferred to use. When they entered the room they found Lucius and Narcissa sitting on one of the large sofas while sitting opposite them, looking much better than two weeks ago, was Severus.

Severus had been revived by the antidote that the Ministry and St Mungo's had discovered while Hermione was in hospital. In the end it had cost several thousand galleons but neither Draco nor Lucius minded paying the price as it resulted in Severus waking up from his coma. After spending the first few weeks after waking up in hospital, Severus had been discharged. Since he still hadn't been well enough to be on his own Narcissa had insisted he come home with them and she'd been looking after him ever since.

After greeting everyone and spending a few moments catching up, Hermione handed out souvenirs before Narcissa disappeared to sort out some tea. Draco immediately questioned why she hadn't sent for a house elf to make the tea, but Lucius explained that since Severus was still recovering he took a shot of the antidote a couple of times a day and Narcissa was making sure it was properly administered.

"It sounds like you're being well taken care of," Draco remarked, laughing at his godfather.

"Aren't I just," Severus muttered. "I swear that woman will be the death of me. I know she means well, but she can't half fuss."

"Why do you think I refused to move into the manor after my accident?" Hermione chuckled. "She fussed enough and I wasn't even living under the same roof as her."

"I've told Lucius she needs someone else to focus her attentions on," Severus said. "I've suggested he gets Narcissa pregnant, but so far nothing's happened."

"I should think not," Draco spluttered. "They're far too old to be having more children."

"Your mother and I are in our prime," Lucius huffed, highly offended by being called old. "We could have another child if we wished. We're certainly getting enough practice in the art of making babies."

"Too much information," Draco groaned.

"Or you two could have a baby," Severus suggested with a wicked smirk. "I'm sure a grandchild would be a perfect candidate for Narcissa to fuss over."

"But that means she would fuss over me for nine months while I was pregnant," Hermione pointed out. "I don't think that will be happening any time soon."

"Looks like it's back over to you, Lucius," Severus said to his old friend. "You're going to have to find a way of keeping your wife from fussing over me before I go mad."

Lucius didn't get a chance to respond before Narcissa came bustling in with the tea. After placing the tray down on the table she picked up Severus's cup and left Lucius, Draco and Hermione to fend for themselves.

"I hope you're not tiring Severus out," Narcissa said as she handed Severus his tea. "He needs his rest."

"I'm fine, Narcissa," Severus said. "It's nice to have Draco and Hermione back. In fact I was just going to ask them about their future plans."

"Actually the first thing we're going to do is head to Australia to find my parents," Hermione said. She'd told the Malfoys what had happened with her parents in the run up to the wedding, so they knew the couple were in Australia with no memories of their daughter.

"I don't think that will be necessary," Lucius said. "When you first mentioned your parents before the wedding, I pulled a few strings with a couple of people I know in Australia. It took longer than I hoped it would, but last week they found your parents. I've also pulled some strings with a few experts in the field of memory charms and they're looking at your parents in hopes of restoring their memories."

"Are you saying, I've got my parents back?" Hermione asked, hardly able to believe her ears.

"Not yet," Lucius cautioned. "They're currently being treated in a medical facility in Sydney, and the experts are hopeful their memories will be resorted without causing them any damage. For now I think the best thing to do is let the experts do their work, but once they have their memories back we can arrange for you to go and visit them."

"Thank you so much, Lucius," Hermione gushed, jumping up and rushing over to embrace her surprised father-in-law. "You have no idea how much this means to me."

"They're your family, and I know how important family is," Lucius said, awkwardly returning Hermione's hug before the young witch returned to her seat next to Draco.

Hermione turned to grin widely at Draco, who knew just how thrilled she was at the news her parents memories were in the process of being resorted. Draco knew just how much Hermione had missed her parents, and he also knew it would be a relief that they wouldn't have to undertake a search for them in Australia. Now they could stay at home and settle into their lives together and once Hermione's parents were back to normal they could go and visit them. But for now they could concentrate on their lives as the newly married Mr and Mrs Malfoy.

The End.

A/N – I want to say a big thank you for everyone who reviewed/followed/favourited this story. I appreciate all the wonderful support I receive from people on this site.

I also just want to mention that I'm uploading my stories to AO3 (under the same name – cleotheo). I know some people prefer that site, so I'm also starting to use that site as well. At the minute I'm uploading my stories a couple a week, but my aim is to publish on both sites simultaneously. However, I am not abandoning fanfiction. This site is still the one I prefer (mainly due to the amazing support I've received from so many people on here), and my stories will continue to be uploaded on here.

Until next week, and a new story, thank you all so much for reading Under Suspicion.
