I don't own Harry Potter, just this plot. Thanks to all who reviewed previously, kept me going today as I typed this mess up. Please forgive the typos, I was just too excited to post this. I'll look over on a different day.

The first thing that Hermione noticed was that she was in a library, the Malfoy library from the looks of it. She was sitting on the top of a table with a large book laying on her lap. It would have been such an unusual scene if it wasn't for the fact that she was naked.

She gasped, covering her breasts with her arms. Wondering how the hell she got here.

"Don't do that Granger, you're ruining the view." Malfoy appeared suddenly from the side. Leaning against a bookshelf, dressed casually in black slacks and a button-down oxford he smirked as he took her in. He grinned lecherously as he made his way to her.

"What do you think you're doing Malfoy!" Hermione grabbed the book in front of her and covered herself with it, crossing her legs tightly.

"I haven't done anything Granger. You're the one that came into my Library." Malfoy circled her.

"Where are my clothes!"

"No idea kitten, but I like your current look." Malfoy put a hand on her back and caressed her skin, letting his hand rest on the small of her back. "Who knew you were hiding all of this under those drab clothes?"

She held the book against her with one arm and swatted him with the other "Get away from me!"

He grabbed her arm and pressed her hand against the wood of the table. She tried to move her arm back, but her palm adhered to the table. "Malfoy! What did you do?"

"I haven't done anything Granger. You're the one who's been causing trouble." He pulled her other arm away from the book and placed it behind her. She swallowed nervously. Her arms were restrained behind her in a position that made her arch her chest towards him. The book was the only thing covering her now. "Breaking into my home, stripping in my library. You are a brave one aren't you, Granger?"

He reached forward and tipped the book back so it landed in her lap. Her nipples pebbled in the cold air and his gaze was fixed on them.

"You know, you should be thankful. I could turn you in, but I've decided to handle your punishment personally." He cupped her left breast, testing the weight of it. He circled the rosy tip with his fingers before he tweaked her nipple.

"Malfoy." Hermione gasped and he looked up at her face. Her cheeks were stained pink and her lips were reddened from her own teeth. Smirking at her expression, he knocked the book out of her lap and pulled closer to him. She managed to keep her legs locked, but he wrapped an arm around her and he brought his mouth down on her breast. She whimpered when he bit the underside of her breast and watched as the took her nipple into his mouth and rolled it between his teeth.

"You, you shouldn't do this." She swallowed a moan as he continued to suckle at her like a kitten. Her core clenching and unclenching in anticipation, it wanted a turn with his mouth as well.

"You want this. You're the one dreaming about this."

Hermione woke up with a start, an insistent unsatisfied pulsing from between her legs.

She looked at the clock on the bedside table and groaned. She was hoping to sleep in, but the dreams that she'd been having recently had made that an impossibility. Since the party Friday night, every time she closed her eyes her subconscious dropped her into some raunchy scenes staring the Ferret, himself. It wasn't exactly an unfamiliar situation, back when they were still in school, she had dealt with the same thing. Waking up, panting in the girl's dormitory with Malfoy on her mind. After she left school and the war started the dreams faded away, but now that he was back in her life so where the dreams. She hated her traitorous dreams when she was in school. Whenever she had one it felt like she was betraying her friends and their cause by dreaming of him between her legs, especially when she was dating Ron.

She rolled out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. She was hoping to sleep till 10 or 11, but there was no point in trying to sleep now. Decided to start her morning she went over to the sink and started brushing her teeth. She was planning on heading over to Andromeda's house around noon to have lunch with her and Teddy before whisking him away for a couple hours. Harry may have officially been his godfather, but she was the one who spent the most time with him. After the war Harry was busy with Ginny, the Weasley family and the medial fallout from the war and she … she didn't have much.

It took her half a year to find her parents and 2 months after to undo the spell she placed on them, and after Ron and her broke up she didn't feel welcome in the Weasley home anymore. She was only doing a favor for Harry when she agreed to watch over Teddy when Andromeda fell ill and had to remain at St. Mungo's. But, taking care of the little infant: feeding him, holding him, watching him fall asleep in her arms, gave her a sense of peace and happiness that she hadn't felt in years.

Hermione looked out the window of her apartment, there was really nothing that she needed to do or had to do. Perhaps she could come to Andromeda's earlier?

She sent a quicknote before she went into the shower. She knew Andromeda wouldn't care if she came unannounced. She and Harry were her go to babysitters and they frequently visited to help her around her house. Andromeda loved her little grandson, he reminded her so much of Tonks, but her was a handful and she wasn't as young as she used to be.

Freshly showered she pulled on some jeans and an off the shoulder top. She put some Sleekeasy's into her hair and brushed it out. Teddy loved to play with her hair when he was falling asleep or wanted comfort and it was a lot easier to work it out of his little hands if it wasn't a frizzy tangled mess. A quicknote flew in front of her:

Hermione,

Please come whenever you like. Teddy has been asking when you'd be stopping and I'm sure he'll be excited to see you. I'm having brunch with my sister and nephew please join us.

Andromeda

Her sister and nephew, did that mean Malfoy and his mom would be there?

She knew that Mrs. Malfoy reached out to Andy after the war to reestablish their sisterly bond. They shared meals together and spent time at each other's homes. She'd mentioned some positive things about her nephew, but she didn't know that he was reconciling with his Aunt. She could tell that Draco had changed after the war, after all the last time she saw him, he apologized. But, there was still something about him that made her nervous. Plus, she didn't know how Mrs. Malfoy would respond to her and she didn't want to argue with anyone in front of Teddy, especially not about blood purity. He didn't know words like 'mudblood' 'blood traitor' and 'pure blood' and she didn't want to be the one to explain it to him.

He would have to learn about it eventually, but not now.

Hermione sighed, fiddling with the note in her hand. She wasn't sure if having brunch with the Malfoys was a good idea but, Andromeda wouldn't invite her if she thought there would be an issue.

Plucking up her courage, Hermione grabbed her purse and walked over to her floo. She grabbed a handful of power and as soon as the dust settled she was in Andromeda's home. "Andy? Teddy?"

She walked out of the fireplace and walked to the kitchen. Peering out the window, she spotted them in the flower garden. Andromeda and Mrs. Malfoy had their heads pressed close together over a photo album while their plates went cold. Malfoy was holding Teddy in his lap as the little boy stuffed strawberries in his mouth, talking animatedly about whatever caught his interest in that moment. It was a sweet sight. Teddy's hair matched perfectly with Malfoy's, signaling how comfortable he was in his arms. If a stranger walked in at that moment she was sure that they would think that Teddy was Draco's son.

Hermione pushed open the door and the warm summer air surrounded her. Smiling brightly as the boy's caught sight of her. Teddy's face lit up and he stood on Malfoy's legs to reach for her, screaming, "Mimi, Mimi you're here! I missed you."

"I missed you too." She lifted the little boy out of Malfoy's lap and tossed him up into the air as he giggled. Teddy's hair changed from Malfoy blonde to her curly mess and he clutched her face with his sticky fingers. She smiled at the others at the table, "Good morning, thank you for inventing me to brunch."

"Hermione, so good to see you." Andromeda gave her a side hug so Teddy wouldn't be squished in between them. "Sit down and eat. I've prepared so much, most of it will probably go to waste."

"Let me officially introduce you to my sister Narcissa and her son, Draco." Andromeda said, gesturing to her sister and nephew.

"It's good to see you again, my name is Hermione." She reached her hand out to shake hands with Mrs. Malfoy."

"I'm happy to see you under better terms Hermione. I hope that we can get to know each other better, possibly become friends."

Teddy whispered her name in her ear, annoyed with being ignored. What was she suppose to say to that? "Likewise Mrs. Malfoy."

"Please call me Narcissa." Hermione nodded, balancing Teddy in her arms, she took the seat between Andromeda and Draco. Andromeda put a plate in front of her and poured her a cup of tea while she sat Teddy down on her lap. Teddy wiggled on her lap to face her, "Mimi I ate breakfast with my cousin Draco! His mommy is my aunt and I have another uncle too now. Mimi, Draco said he would take me flying!"

"Flying?" Teddy's smile shrank at Hermione's concerned look. She looked at Malfoy, "Are you sure that's safe?"

"Draco said we'd go!"

"I stay low to the ground and go slow. He'll be safe." Draco said.

"I want to fly Mimi!"

"Draco is a fabulous flyer." Narcissa reassured.

"We'll go Teddy, Mimi's just afraid. She doesn't like heights. She failed was Broom Flight Class in first year." Draco said with a grin, pushing Teddy's strawberries closer to him.

"I didn't fail!" She had gotten an acceptable, thanks to the written assignments, extra credit and Madame Hooch's pity.

"Mimi you're scared? I'll hold your hand if you're scared, then you'll be ok." Teddy said, earning himself a kiss.

"Thank you Teddy." Hermione grabbed herself some French toast, sausage and beans.

"I've heard that you work the Ministry Miss Granger, what is it that you do?" Narcissa said, nibbling on her fruit.

The conversation that followed after was surprisingly lighthearted and easy. Hermione talked about work and Narcissa threw in some funny stories about Lucius's days in the ministry. Andromeda and Narcissa told stories about their childhood and their cousins (leaving out anything to do with Bellatrix) and Draco talked about his work, charitable organizations and threw peppered in snarky comments throughout brunch. Teddy filled the end with happy chatter on what he was going to do and mentioned repeatedly how much he wanted to watch Peppa Pig on Mimi's telly.

"What is a telly, why is there a pig in there?" Draco asked.

Hermione smiled, no matter how many times she was asked this she still had yet to come up with a suitable answer. "Think of it like a large picture frame, but the images last much longer and there's sound. The goal of these pictures it to tell a story for entertainment."

Draco gave her a confused look that made her smile. "Nothing that I say will really do it justice. The best way to understand it is just to use it."

"Watch Peppa Pig!" Teddy demanded. "Draco come with us. Mimi's going to take me to the park then we can fly and watch Peppa Pig."

"Teddy I'm sure that –"

"That's a wonderful idea Theodore! Draco go with them, you wanted to learn more about muggle culture." Narcissa said, meeting surprised looks from the other occupants before they all started talking at once.

"I wouldn't mind, but it's a children's museum and I'm sure he'll be bore-"

"Draco, I had no idea that you were interested in Muggle culture. I still have plenty of Teds things if you want to – "

"That's, that's – " Looking at Hermione. "A wonderful idea. I would love to see this quaint muggle playground and watch this … telly."

"Perfect! I'll leave Draco in your hands Miss Granger." Narcissa clapped her hands. "With the children out of the house do you want to do some shopping? All my dress robes are dreadfully out of fashion."

Andromeda scoffed, "Does that mean that you bought them last season? You know that you can wear an outfit more than once, right?"

"Mimi, mimi." Teddy pulled at her hair. "Are we going now? I want to go."

Hermione glanced at Draco. "We can."

Andromeda and Narcissa followed them into the house, waving cheerfully at them as they flooed to Hermione's parents. Hermione and Teddy went first. Teddy wiggled out of her arms, whining that he wanted to be put down before he wandered off to the toy chest her mother kept for him. Hermione made sure that he was playing safely before she adjusted the wards so that Draco could enter.

In a flare of green light Draco Malfoy was in her childhood home. He wiped his feet on the mat in front of the fireplace and peered around curiously. "Where are your parents?"

"They're in South Africa on safari. They'll be there for a month. Since they retired they spend their time traveling and asking me when I'll give them grandchildren." She smiled nervously. "Ever since I've introduced them to Teddy, it seems to be all they talk about."

"Do you want them, children? You seem attached to Teddy."

"Teddy – " A toy in the next room made a high pitched musical noise and Teddy giggled loudly. "Teddy came into my life at the right moment. He's a gift, but I don't know if I'm ready for children yet. I'm still figure out my career and it's unlikely that I'll be getting married anytime soon. I don't even have a boyfriend at this time."

"How many do you want?" Draco asked wandering around the family room, taking particular interest in her childhood photos. Her still toothless smile, filling up the frame.

"I haven't thought about it, why are you asking?" He was making her nervous. They barely knew each other and for whatever reason he was asking her insanely personal questions.

"Just curious." He walked towards her. He was so close that she could smell the crisp sent of his aftershave. He gave her a heady look. "What are we doing, Granger?"

"What?" Her traitorous mind thought back to the dream that she had that morning and she started to feel hot.

Draco smirked, "Where are we taking Teddy?"

"Oh , um, we're going to this interactive children's museum. I've taken him there before. There's different games and experiments that he can do to learn about science, math and music." Hermione explained quickly.

"Do I look alright?" Hermione looked him up and down. He looked every bit like the snarky, manipulative, beautiful aristocrat that he was.

"If you take off your outer robes and leave you slacks and dress shirt on you should fit in. You'll be over dressed, but you'll look mostly muggle."

"Perfect." He sarcastically drawled and Hermione smiled despite herself.

They retrieved Teddy from the other room and Hermione walked them to the car. Draco scoffed at the shiny muggle vehicle, doubting it's safety.

"You fly around and knock each other off brooms while thousands of feet above the ground and you think this is unsafe?" Hermione questioned playfully. Prodding at Draco until he sat in the passenger side seat. On the drive over, he clutched the door handle and questioned the safety of the seat belt before criticizing how slow the car was.

"No wonder muggles take so long to get things done. It takes hours for them to get from one place to the other." Hermione silenced him with a glance and he kept most of his comments to himself for the rest of their adventure into muggle London.

Draco held on to Teddy, following after Hermione protectively as the entered the children's museum. The further away they were from the world that Draco had grown up in, the more uncomfortable he seemed to be. Hermione had to free Teddy from his grip so that he could play with the other children. Draco grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her towards him when a muggle male accidently brushed against her shoulder while taking a picture of his daughter.

"Nothing's going to happen. It's safe here. Look how happy Teddy is." Hermione said softly. Draco watched as Teddy ran across a piano bridge, his weight on the boards triggering a light and a musical note. Another little boy bounced up and down on a board next to him and they laughed at all the ruckus they were making.

"His hair could change." Draco acted as a barrier between her and the other people there. Watching Teddy with a concerned look on his face. "They could hurt him. Take him, we should leave."

"Malfoy, Malfoy." Hermione tried to get his attention. "Draco."

He turned towards her and she said; "It's a children's playground and Teddy only changes his hair when he meets someone he loves. He's played her for hours before and there hasn't been an issue."

"They could burn him. They've done it before with children and women. Our kind, their kind, they didn't care."

"Draco that was in the past. Even if someone saw his hair change they wouldn't think that it was magic. They would think it was a trick of their eye and if they didn't we could get our wands out and obliviate them." Hermione had her wand tucked away in her expandable purse and Draco had his hidden in his pants, far different from where he typically kept it (in his robe pocket, where he could reach it within a second). Hermione grabbed his arm with her other hand, not to pull it off but signal that she wanted to hold his hand. "It'll be ok."

He felt incredibly uncomfortable. He looked around the muggle building, trying to filter through the thoughts of the various muggles around him. He couldn't hear anything threatening towards his mate or cousin, but the noise from the children (both internal and external) was incredibly distracting. Being this far away from the magical community, where he couldn't whip out his wand without a ministry inquiry was much more frustrating than he expected.

The only thing that was keeping him grounded was his mate's hand in his. Her presence was calming and reassuring. He supposed in the future he would have to venture back out muggle London to see his in-laws and he was sure that his stubborn mate would want their child to spend time in muggle places, but he hoped to limit that time as much as possible. He didn't want her to venture out into dangerous territory without him, the war was enough of a struggle.

He took a deep breath of her scent to calm himself. "How much longer do we have to stay here?"

"Another hour or so." Draco's jaw clenched, he could hear some muggle thinking about his mate's round arse in her tight jeans. "You can take Teddy flying after this. Since we had a late brunch he won't be hungry till later and then he'll nap."

He nodded, starting the mental countdown in his head.

Hermione felt bad. She should have known better, even Ron had a hard time when he first visited her neighborhood, scared and nervous of all the differences.

He did pretty well, considering the circumstances. He glued himself to her side while they were at the children's museum and she fought off the desire to step away from him. Teddy didn't seem to notice his second cousin's discomfort, yelling cheerfully at every new discovery he made. Hermione trailed after him and pulled Draco along, encouraging him to play Teddy as the time ticked by and Teddy grew tiered.

"Mimi hold me." Teddy rubbed his face into her shoulder, turning his face away from the lights. She could tell that he was getting cranky. He was normally very good about co-playing and sharing toys, but he had thrown a fit earlier when another child cut in front of him while going down a slide and seemed to get progressively annoyed when other children joined him on toys and activities.

"Are you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy!" Teddy yelled, pulling at her hair harshly.

"Teddy." She warned. "It's not nice to pull people's hair to hurt them. Don't do that again."

Teddy pouted but loosened his grip on her hair before he rested his head on her shoulder unhappily. Turning to Draco, Hermione whispered "We should head home. I can make us lunch at my parent's house. Then it might be some time for some quiet time."

Draco nodded and they headed out of the children's museum. The drive home was only 10 minutes, but Teddy was already starting to nod off in the backseat of the car. He was grumpy when she woke him up, but he needed to eat before she settled him down for his nap. She made him a grilled ham and cheese sandwich while he ate some grapes. Teddy barely kept his eyes opened as she read to him, valiantly fighting to hear the end of the story before he fell asleep.

Malfoy watched as she trucked him into her childhood bed. Then they went back downstairs. Hermione expected him to go home right after Teddy had fallen asleep, after all it had been a long morning for him as well, but Draco stayed. They toured her childhood home before settling down in front of the television they flipped through a couple of channels and Draco asked questions about the various things he saw. She went to the kitchen to make lunch for them while he sat in front of the TV. She decided to make them chicken and veggies and while she prepared the food, Draco followed after her. He stayed with in arms reach of her, being more of a nuisance than a help.

"What do you think your name would be if you were an house elf, Frizzy? Curly? Knowing you you'd probably designate yourself to the library." Draco said, watching her chop vegetables.

"For someone who came up with 'Weasley is our King', those names are surprisingly uninventive."

"My elves like their names just fine. Maybe if you gave me some inspiration, dress the part, I think I have a French maid's outfit that would fit you rather well."

She snorted in surprise. Was he flirting with her? "Do you realize that I have a knife in my hand?"

"That is no way to speak to your master."

"Malfoy go watch TV before I decided to kick you out of here." He lifted his hands up in mock surrender before retreating into the family room. Hermione smiled as she seasoned the chicken. He was less annoying than he normally seemed to be and he was actually making her smile.

Hermione pan fried the chicken to brown it before putting it in the oven to finish cooking. She put the chopped veggies on the pan that he had the chicken in and sautéed them. Hermione called Draco back into the kitchen and had him set the table as she made their plates for lunch.

"I think your missing some forks and spoons from your set Granger."

"You're not that spoiled Malfoy. We went to Hogwarts together."

"Wrong Granger. The Slytherin table was always properly set. The elves must have realized that we were of a better class than your kind." He said, cutting into the chicken. "It does explain why I saw so many of those Hufflepuffs eat with their hands."

"You're such a princess Malfoy, do you have a dress to match? When Ron said he saw you in a drag show I was sure he was joking, but I'm starting to doubt myself."

"You can look under my robes whenever you want Granger. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It's about time you see what a real man looks like after being stuck with Weasley and Potter for so long."

Hermione coughed as a piece of her potatoes went down the wrong pipe. Their lunch was filled with light hearted banter. Afterwards Hermione search though her parent's movie selection. Settling on the first Jurassic Park movie after much internal debate. She Figured that it would have enough action to keep him entertained and she could slowly expose him to different types of technology and educate him about some of the science and history their magical textbooks failed to cover. It was rather sweet how fascinated he was by the dinosaurs, it reminded her so much of Teddy. She answered his questions and was happy when he started to talk about wanting to learn more about earth's history. The tension faded away from his face and she could tell that he was a lot happier learning about the muggle world in the safety of her home.

Teddy woke up from his nap later in the afternoon and they went back to Andromeda's house. It appeared that Narcissa and her were still out shopping so they went to the local park. Draco rented a broom and flew Teddy around the park.

"Keep your hands on the broom!" Hermione shouted at Teddy.

Teddy sat in front of Draco with his hands up in the air as he laughed with joy. Draco kept a hand on the broom and another one around Teddy as they flew slowly around the park. Hermione kept her eyes on him and one hand on her wand. After about an hour Draco landed with a very happy Teddy in his arms.

"I want to go again! Again Draco." Teddy commanded from the top of Draco's shoulders. His hair turned pale like Draco's.

"Next time." Draco promised.

The returned to Andromeda's house after the sisters had returned home. Teddy launched himself off of Draco's shoulders and into his grandmother's to tell her about his day. Hermione watched Teddy and didn't notice how Andromeda looked at her nephew.

Narcissa shared the spoils of her victory before saying, "It has been such a lovely day. We should do this again soon, but I must get going. I sure that Lucius is going crazy without me. I don't think that we've stayed this far away from each other in decades. He'll be terribly upset when I come home."

Hermione nodded, but didn't say anything. Wizarding marriages were far more old fashioned than their non-magical counterparts. She had seen that with Arthur and Molly as well as with Bill and Fleur.

"He met us for lunch Cissa, you've only been apart for a few hours at the most." Andromeda consoled, kissing her goodbye. "He won't be upset."

Hermione walked with Andromeda and Teddy to say goodbye to the Malfoy's. She waved goodbye to Narcissa politely and Draco surprised her with a hug before he left, pressing her into the hard planes of his body. A flush climbed up her cheeks as she became acutely aware of his body.

His smirk was the last she saw of him before he was engulfed by green flames.

"Hermione can we talk?"

"Of course."

Andromeda sent Teddy off to his room to play before bring Hermione into her living room. They sat side by side on the couch. "How much do you know about the Malfoy family?"

"Centuries of pureblood breeding, they have as much money as half the wizarding population of England, pale with blonde hair." Hermione rattled off. "You probably know much more about them than I do. Why do you ask?"

"What I'm about to tell you is well-known gossip among the pureblood houses. When I was younger my mother told me about the taint of the Malfoy's house. It was mostly speculation, of course, no one would have dared to challenge them directly, but after seeing Crissa and Lucius together these past few months, I'm sure that it's the truth." Andromeda said.

Hermione listened patiently, unsure about where this conversation was going.

"The Malfoy's are veelas and I think you are Draco's mate."

Hermione eye's widened.

"The way he looks at you, the way Draco and my sister are acting." Andromeda held onto Hermione's hands. "When Cissa and I were younger she would tell me about the dreams she had about Lucius. Back then she thought that she was a seer and was getting a glimpse into her future, but now that were older it's clear what was happening. His magic was calling her's, preparing her for her destiny. Have you, have you had dreams about Draco?"

Done ! Gosh, what did you think? A slow beginning, but I thought it was a good/believable way for Hermione to learn the truth. Did you like dream sequence? I haven't really written lemons …
