Can it be true? A new chapter! I'm very sorry for not posting this sooner (it's been sitting on my laptop for a while). I wanted to finish the story in this chapter but it looks like that'll come in the next chapter. Enjoy! And sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes.

A few hours later a Healer walked into the lobby.

"Family of Hermione Granger?" the Healer called

"That's us!" Harry shouted so loudly that it startled the healer who then walked over to them

"Are all of you allowed to know her information?" The Healer asked observing the whole Weasley family

"Harry, how about the Healer just tells you for now." Ginny advised glancing at the worried looks on Rose and Hugo's faces

"Sure thing." Harry said walking off with the Healer to a more private location, he wasn't gone long and when he came back to where the family was he was smiling, "Hermione is awake and waiting to see us, the burn is all healed and thankfully her previous injury wasn't bothered by it; the Healer would prefer though if all of us didn't go back at once though."

"Well then take Rose and Hugo back with you; we'll wait on news about Draco." Ginny said pushing forward her niece and nephew to follow Harry

Harry disappeared down the hallway with Rose and Hugo behind him while the rest of the family settled back in their seats waiting for news about Draco.

"Um, so what's so bad about the scar on her arm?" Ron asked rubbing the back of his neck nervously, glancing at his family

The older Weasleys all exchanged glances before Bill answered, "We're not quite sure the type of severing hex that was used but it had dark magical properties and when it hit her arm it completely severed her arm, Harry was right next to her and caught both her and the section of her arm that was cut off as soon as it happened and apparated straight to St. Mungo's; the only problem was that it took forever for the Healers to figure out how to reattach her arm and they believe that there is still some dark magic residue in the scar which is why they were worried about where the burn was."

"But it's all healed now? Right?" Ron asked now worried

"Yes, until today there had never been any problems with the scar." explained Bill

"Good, good." Ron mumbled to himself

Just then another Healer came out asking for the family of Draco Malfoy. Narcissa rushed over while Lucius kept Scorpius back and within a few minutes the three Malfoys headed down the hall with smiles on Narcissa's and Scorpius' faces.


Hermione's Room (a few minutes earlier):

Hermione was sitting up in her hospital bed waiting for the Healer to return with Rose and Hugo; she knew that Harry would bring the two of them back first before the rest of the family. Glancing down at her bandaged arm, she was glad that the injury wasn't any worse. At that moment the door opened and slowly Rose and Hugo entered the room. Upon seeing their mum awake they ran to the bed, climbed on it and her.

"I glad you're alright mum." Hugo mumbled into Hermione's hair, "Me too." said Rose added from her place next to her mother

"The rest of the family is also glad you're alright." Harry added from the doorway smiling at the family in front of him

"How's Draco?" Hermione asked worriedly looking at Harry

"I haven't heard any news but I can go find out for you if you want."

"Yes, please Harry." She whispered into her children's hair

Harry nodded with a smile before slipping out of the room, leaving the family to themselves.

"Mum will Draco be okay?" Hugo asked

"I'm sure he will be fine sweetie" Hermione said ruffling his hair

"Good because I like him, he's nice." Hugo declared, "I agree" Rose added with a smile

"Is the whole family outside?" Hermione asked slightly wondering why Molly wasn't barging in the room by this point

"Everyone except out Aunts and cousins, oh and Kristen, Ron convinced her to stay at the Burrow." Rose explained

"You know you can still call him dad if you want."

"He has to earn it back and I think he understands that."

"Well alright then."

A soft knock on the door stopped the conversation and Harry stuck his head in the room, "Draco is alright, the drama queen only got knocked out by some debris, he's awake now and his parents and Scorpius are in his room."

"Draco isn't a queen, he's a guy!" Hugo explained to his uncle with a laugh

"It's a figure of speech Hugo." Rose tried to explain

"That's a weird one then since he's a guy." Hugo argued, Rose just rolled her eyes at him causing Harry and Hermione to laugh

"Oh and the rest of the family would love to come back and see you, they did promise not to be over-bearing." Harry said with a laugh

"Sounds fine to me, I would like to be able to go see Draco as well; Oh and how long do the Healers wish to keep me?"

"I'll find that out for you and when you can see Draco." Harry reassured her as he headed out of the room

"Mum, Ron said that he would get a better attitude about Draco." Rose informed Hermione

"He did, did he?" Hermione asked surprised

"It may have taken Rose threatening to jinx him and Uncle Bill stopping her but yeah he agreed." Hugo interjected before Rose could say anything

Hermione chuckled to herself. Soon the calmness in the room was broken when the Weasleys appeared in the door; the whole family seemed to squeeze in the hospital room to check on Hermione.


In less than a week Hermione was back home and was given a month off of work along with Draco since the case was done. With their free time they decided to move in together. There was only one problem; Hermione didn't want to live in Malfoy Manor and Hermione's house wasn't big enough for them all.

"We do not need a giant manor Draco." Hermione repeated for probably the fourteenth time that morning

Draco looked at her over the newspaper clippings of for sale homes confused, "Of course we need a manor, where else am I going to put all my stuff?"

"Seriously? You use like half of what is actually in Malfoy Manor and you'll still own that place to give to Scorpius so all of that stuff can just stay there, so I don't see why it matters."

"I've always had a big house! These things are very important." He whined

"You're sounding like a spoiled child again." Hermione said with a smirk

"Fine, we'll get the place you like. But I don't know how we will live with only five rooms, one master bedroom, one study and one library."

"You're making it sound like each of those rooms is small, they are all decently large and don't forget there are four bathrooms, two dining rooms and two living rooms and a hug kitchen to please you; even though you don't cook so I don't know why you need a big kitchen."

"But you love to cook so it is for you."

Hermione couldn't resist the smile he added at the end of the sentence and leaned over the table to kiss him. It was that moment that Hugo decided to come running into the room crying, not noticing what his mum was doing, followed by an angry Rose. Hugo ran straight to his mum and threw himself in her lap while Rose just stomped up to the table.

"If you two are done making out we would really appreciate it if you would block Ron from the floo." Rose asked as politely as she could in her current angry state

"What happened? This is only the fourth time you've spent time with him and you both have said that is going well." Hermione asked comforting Hugo, Draco looked ready to go and lock the floo right then and there but he waited to hear what Rose had to say

"Diane, that's the problem!"

"Um, honey you'll need to be more specific since I don't understand why she is a reason to lock the floo from Ron."

Hugo and I were reading in the living room while Ron was finishing up some house work for Kristen and Diane came in and proceeded to push Hugo off his chair claiming that Ron didn't care about us, this made Hugo cry and her and I got into a fight, then I noticed that Hugo was leaving by the floo and I followed him here." Rose explained in a rush

"So Ron is probably at his house worrying about what he did wrong to make you both leave." Draco stated startling both Hermione and Rose

"He probably is, we should all go over and explain what happened." Hermione said to both Rose and Hugo

"Can't you just go mum?" Hugo mumbled

"We are all going and that is final, then he will see that you don't hate him and you can settle this problem with Diane." She said sternly

"Fine." Both children grumbled and dragged their feet back towards the fireplace to floo over

"Draco, we will finish this when I get back." Draco nodded and watched Hermione prepare herself to deal with the mess her children left behind at her ex-husband's house


Arriving at Ron's house before her children; Hermione could hear Ron and Kristen arguing in the kitchen.

"She's just confused Ron; it's a lot to get used to!"

"Yeah well she didn't need to lie to them and say that I hate them!"

"I agree but that is still no reason to shout at her, you could have sat her down and explained things; now she thinks you hate her."

"See mom," Rose whispered, "Diane hates us."

"Oh shush," Hermione snapped, "Ron! Ron, I've brought Rose and Hugo back with me." She shouted from the living room

A bang could be heard from the kitchen and then Ron appeared in the entryway of the living room looking relieved.

"Oh good you're back, I was worried you wouldn't want to come again." Ron said nervously his eyes darting between Rose and Hugo

"Well in our defense mom said we needed to apologize for leaving and not telling you." Rose said but she didn't sound mad about it anymore

A frown appeared on Ron's face, "Right, of course."

"I think it would still be nice if we could see you though." Hugo chimed in, putting a smile back on Ron's face

"I wanted them to apologize for leaving and not telling you." Hermione explained "Obviously you need to discuss things over with Diane a bit more and I understand if you would like us to give you a little space to do that, there is still a few weeks left of winter break before Rose goes back to school so don't feel rushed."

"Right as always Hermione." Ron said with a laugh, Kristen was now standing next to Ron and nodded her head in agreement

"You can send an owl when you're ready, like mom said I still have two weeks I believe." Rose chimed in seeing that it made both Ron and Hugo happy she figured she'd accept seeing him before she went back

"Yeah! We could go get ice-cream!" Hugo said excitedly

"Haha, I'd like that, I'll be in touch." Ron said giving both Rose and Hugo a hug which both children returned

"Good luck you two." Hermione said to Ron and Kristen as Rose and Hugo left through the fireplace

"Thanks Hermione." Kristen said with a smile, "We'll need it, Diane is as stubborn as Ron."

"Yes I know how that goes, you'll find a way, keep in touch." Hermione said with a parting wave and left though the fireplace as well

"I think Hermione might be softening up to you." Ron said to Kristen as he pulled her into a hug

"Ha, that'll be the day, now let's go get this talk over with." Kristen said dragging Ron upstairs to Diane's room


Arriving back Hermione found just Draco sitting in kitchen.

"Where did they go?" Hermione asked sitting at the table

"Back to their rooms, everything go okay?" Draco asked glancing up at her from the housing information

"Yes it seemed too, both Rose and Hugo want to see Ron again and Ron wants to see them again."

"That's good, how about this house? I know I had agreed on the other one but this one is a nice cottage and still has five bedrooms, a library, big kitchen, living room, dining room and a huge library."

"A cottage sounds just lovely and perfect Draco." Hermione declared with a smile and kiss which Draco returned passionately

"When do you want to buy it and move?" Draco asked after they broke apart from the kiss

"How about once the kids have gone back to school, they can pack there things before they leave."

"Sounds like a great plan, less work for us." Draco declared causing Hermione to laugh as she dragged him upstairs to their bedroom
