05 Jun 1999

Hermione woke up to the sound of Draco and Pavo babbling at each other. Her baby had started making little cooing noises a couple of days ago and the parents spent a lot of time talking to their son.

Rolling over she saw both of them were shirtless and Pavo was laying on Draco's chest facing him.

"Good morning boys." She leaned up to kiss Draco's cheek, "Happy Birthday."

"Thank you, love. I was about to wake you up. Mother wants to have a family breakfast in about a half hour. I already showered so you could sleep in."

"You are a saint."

Making her way into the bathroom Hermione examined herself in the mirror as she waited for the water to heat up. Now that Pavo was mostly sleeping through the night, the dark circles under her eyes had faded. Hermione's mother used to tell her she slept through the night from the day she came home from the hospital.

After a quick shower she walked into the dressing room to find an outfit for the day. Cabot was standing there and was levitating a set of dress robes in dusty pink for her.

"Cabot, I'm not wearing dress robes today."

"But it's being an important day. Yous just bes dressed nicely."

"Draco doesn't care what I wear for his birthday. Thank you, but I'll pick out my own clothes."

"Yous a stubborn witch Miss Mi." Cabot moved the robes back to the rack before leaving the dressing room.

Hermione smiled. The little elf had been shy around her at first but the longer she was there, the more Cabot voiced his opinion.

Getting dressed in a pair of coral shorts, a flowy white vest top, and white flip flops. It was finally getting warm and she was happy to be able to pull out her summer clothes. Putting her hair into a long, loose braid she walked out of the dressing room.

"You look beautiful Mi." Bouncing Pavo gently he asked him, "Doesn't Mommy look pretty? Should we go give her kisses?"

"Ghh" Pavo made a little noise.

"I'm going to take that as a yes." Draco kissed her before she leaned down to kiss the platinum haired babe in his arms.

Hermione turned to Draco as they were making their way downstairs. "So, is your dad back yet?"

Lucius was released from his house arrest last week and had taken off the same day. He said he had to get out of the Manor but said he would be back by Draco's birthday.

"Cabot said he arrived early this morning but I haven't seen him yet."

Lucius arose from the head of the table that had been set up in the Conservatory as soon as they entered. Saying nothing to either of them, he grabbed Pavo and walked to the other side of the room.

"Nice to see you too Father. I'm glad you're back."

Lucius ignored them, choosing to converse with him grandson instead. Hermione couldn't hear what he was saying, but she could see Pavo cooing and Lucius smiling. Who know all it took you soften a jackass was a grandson?

Narcissa stood up and hugged Draco, "Happy Birthday my little dragon."

"Good morning Mother."

"Good morning Hermione."

"Good Morning. You must be happy to have Lucius back?"

"Oh, not really. His being back means I'll have less time to hold my grandson."

Lucius walked over to them. "I'll allow you to hold him for the next two minutes before I will require him again. We are discussing the next moves Malfoy Industries will take. He thinks we should look into integrating Muggle inventions into the Wizarding world."

Hermione smiled at Lucius, "My son sounds like a genius. If you need help, I know a Muggleborn that would be happy to work with you."

"I'll have to see if my business partner likes her." Lucius winked at her. "Now I know it's Draco's birthday but I wanted to get you a present for giving me a grandson. I asked your brother for ideas and he seemed to think you'd like this."

"Thank you Lucius." Hermione looked towards the table but didn't see a present. Lucius nodded behind her. Turning around she came face to face with her parents.

She stood with her eyes wide open, not saying anything until her parents reached out and hugged her. The comforting feel of her parent's arms around her allowed her to break through her shock.

"How are you here?"

Her dad, smiling through his tears answered her. "Harry and Lucius showed up on our doorstep a few days ago. Harry had everything from the safe deposit box with our new information and Lucius removed the spells."

"We were confused why you didn't come," her mom took over the narrative from her dad, "until Lucius and your brother explained you're a mom? You have a lot to catch us up on it seems. But first, I need to hold my grandson."

Well damn, I'm never going to hold my son again.

18 Apr 2004

"Happy Birthday, did you enjoy your party?" Hermione leaned over and kissed Lucius on the cheek. The last of the guests for his Fiftieth birthday party had just left.

He was currently sitting on one of the leather couches in his study. Soon-to-be five year old Pavo was on his lap, rubbing the peacock tattoo Lucius had selected to cover his Dark Mark.

"The party was fine."

"Did you get what you wanted papa?" Pavo gave him a questioning look. The two of them were as thick as thieves still.

Lucius ruffled his hair, "Almost buddy, your mum and dad didn't give me what I really wanted."

"What did you-"

Pavo was interrupted by a shriek, followed by a streak of platinum curls that collided with Lucius' legs.

"Up, up! Papa! Up!"

Lucius leaned down and picked up Aquila, his two year old granddaughter.

Draco and Hermione had married on the Spring Equinox 2001 in the stone circle. Even though Hermione had been on the potion, evidently the ceremony was more powerful and Aquila arrived Christmas day. Luckily Hermione knew all the signs of pregnancy and was about to get all the antenatal care she needed.

Draco and Narcissa entered the study behind the energetic little girl, taking seats on the couch across from Lucius and his grandchildren.

"Lucius was just mentioning that we didn't give him what he really wanted Draco." Hermione caught him up the conversation he just walked in on.

"Lucius, that's rude " Narcissa chastised him.

"Papa, you rude." Aquila poked him on the chest.

"Papa's not rude!" Pavo said to his sister. "Mum and dad should give gooder gifts."

"Pavo, it's better, not gooder." Lucius corrected.

"So father, what should we have given you?" Draco smiled at his father.

"I wanted more grandchildren."

"Lucius," Hermione have him an exasperated look, "Don't you think two is enough? I'm already working for Malfoy Industries part time while Narcissa watches them."

"No I don't think two is enough." He pouted. "Now I can see why the Weasley's had so many."

Hermione could hear Draco and Narcissa's jaws drop open. Hermione gave Draco a tap on the arm to snap him out of it. He looked at her and shrugged.

"Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm pregnant again then."

Narcissa and Lucius had matching cries of "What!"

Draco stood up next to Hermione and placed his hand on her stomach. "It's true. They should be here around November. Happy birthday Father."

The adults came over and hugged them. As Lucius pulled back from Hermione Draco's words seemed to sink in. "They?"

Hermione nodded. "Twins. They run in my family."

Lucius pulled her back into a hug before grabbing Draco to join them. "Thank you for the best birthday present."

24 May 2019

Twenty year old Pavo was holding hands with his girlfriend of three years and he was scared shitless.

They had been living in France since she graduated last June, both of them working in the Paris office of Malfoy Industries. He knew he was an adult, but he didn't want to disappoint Lucius.

"Pavo, putting it off won't make it any easier. He loves you. It will be okay." Victoire Weasley squeezed his hand before grabbing a handful of Floo powder. "Malfoy Manor!"

They stepped out of the fireplace and cleaned the shit soot from there you can clothes. Looking around the entryway was empty.

"Cabot."

The elf popped in front of them. "Master Pavo, Miss Vick. How may Is best helping?"

"Where is everyone?" Pavo both hoped they were all together and across the Manor from each other.

"Master Draco and Mistress Hermione are in Conservatory. Master Lucius and Mistress Narcissa are in the Master's study."

"Thank you."

Cabot popped away.

Victoire leaned against him. "Who should we see first?"

"Mum and dad."

Leaving the Conservatory Pavo sighed. "That went better than I thought it would."

"I told you it would be fine. Aunt Hermione is great."

"Victoire! I've told you a thousand times, it's creepy that you call my mum 'Aunt' when you're my girlfriend."

"It's not like we're related! I call all the adults Aunt and Uncle. It's hard to break a sixteen year habit just because we start shagging." She grinned at him as the stopped at the Study door. Before Pavo could change his mind, she knocked on the door.

Lucius' voice called from within "Enter."

Pavo took a fortifying breath and turned the knob. Waking in, "Hello Papa."

"Pavo! You're home." Lucius set his tumbler of Firewhisky down on the side table before swiftly walking over to hug his oldest grandchild.

Narcissa stood to hug the couple. "Welcome home my dears."

"Hi Mère." The Malfoy children had always called Narcissa More because according to their dad 'she's too young to be a granny.'

Narcissa looked the couple over, "Not that I'm not thrilled to see you, but I figured you two would be settling into your new flat. Is something wrong with it?"

"No. We wanted to see you because. Umm, well." Victoire gave his hand another squeeze and he found his courage. "It's just that we know all Malfoy heirs live in the Manor, and since we're having one we thought maybe we could move in here."

Narcissa started to say something up Lucius put a hand on her knee to stop her. He picked up his tumbler and took a deep swallow.

"Pavo, Victoire, are you telling us that you are pregnant with the next Malfoy heir?"

Pavo couldn't speak. He opened his mouth twice before Victoire answered for him, "Yes. I'm six months along. It's a boy."

Lucius stood up and towered over his oldest grandson, "Well it's about a month late, but thank you for a the best birthday present I've received in fifteen years."

Grabbing Pavo by the hand he pulled him into a bone crushing hug. I'm going to be a great grandpa!

Victoire stood up so Narcissa could hug her. Switching places Lucius pulled the Weasley beauty into his arms. "You better keep my prized peacock in line."

"I have to convince him to marry me first. He refused to do it until we were back here."

Lucius placed his hand on Victoire's belly, "Well you're here now."

22 Aug 2019

"Mum! Why hasn't Victoire had the baby yet?" It was morning and Hermione was in her thirteen year old twin's room helping them pack. They were starting their third year at Hogwarts soon. "What if she doesn't have it before we leave?"

"Vega, she's a week overdue, I'm sure he'll be here soon." Hermione understood her daughter's impatience though. She couldn't wait to meet her grandson.

"Do you think he'll look like Pavo?" Vega's sister Mira asked.

"Well, they both have blonde hair and blue eyes so it's possible. But the Weasley's have that ginger hair so you never know." She was secretly hoping for a ginger baby.

"Mum!" A loud knock on a door sounded before it flung open. Her youngest, twelve year old Scorpius (Draco finally got to use his name) came running into the room. "Victoire's in labor!"

Hermione's eyes screwed up as the shrieks from the twins almost burst her eardrums.

"Cabot."

"Yes Mistress?"

"Apparate me to Victoire please?"

Hermione was by her daughter-in-law's side in a second. (Her and Pavo had married two months earlier now that they were on the estate and could use the stone circle.) "Victoire, how are you feeling?"

"I'm doing fine for now. I've been in labor since last night but just told Pavo since the pain because unmanageable."

"That's smart. Where is he now?"

"I believe he's running around trying to tell everyone. Evidently he forgot how to send messages by Patronus." Hermione and Victoire laughed.

"Who would you like me to notify? I'll send them."

"Might as well notify the tribe. Once Ginny knows, every Weasley will be here anyway."

Hermione pulled out her wand, "Expecto Patronus!" Her otter popped into existence and nuzzled her and then Victoire. "Victoire is in labor. Birthing party at the Manor."

Her otter burst into streams of light before shooting out of the room. One remained and delivered it's message to Victoire.

Hermione laughed, "As you can see, I sent it to everyone. Including you. Did you know you're in labor?"

Victoire had kicked everyone but the healer, Pavo, Hermione, and Fleur from her room when it was time to deliver her baby. It was mid-afternoon and the birthing party was ready to see the newest member of the tribe.

Draco looked around and was still surprised at the number of people in his life.

His mother and father sat with Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Thank Merlin for Cabot who was able to get them here instantly. As well as Arthur Weasley, and Kingsley and Andromeda Shacklebolt.

His in-laws, the Potter's with their three kids, Teddy Lupin, his own kids: Aquila, Vega, Mira, and Scorpius.

Theo and Millie Nott and their daughter Ariel were playing with Lorcan and Lysander Zabini, and their parents: Luna, Daphne, and Blaise; a triad no one saw coming.

All of the Weasley's and their 500 or so children were there too. Ron had ended up marrying Astoria Greengrass not long after Aquila was born and they had six children.

The noise level dropped and Draco turned around to see his son carrying a small blue bundle of blankets. All of the children started to rush forward until Lucius stepped forward and cast an impedimenta then silencing charm on all of them.

Pavo shot him a thankful look. Turning his son so everyone could see him, "Meet Lucius William Malfoy."

Draco felt an arm wrap around him and through misty eyes he saw his wife of eighteen years by his side. "I can't believe our son has a baby."

Hermione had tears in her eyes too as she looked at their oldest son holding their grandchild.

"I know. Now that I'm a grandmother, do you think I'll finally be able to hold a baby?"

Draco looked over and saw his Father had already stolen his namesake. "I don't think so."

Laughing, Hermione turned and kissed him. "I love you Draco."

"I love you too."
