Chapter Twenty-Five

11 Years later.

"Calais Malfoy-Granger, if I have to ask you one more time to pack your trunk I will send you to live with your nanna and you won't be starting Hogwarts with your brother tomorrow!" Draco called up the stairs,

Calais was the elder of Hermione and Draco's twin sons, and the most mischievous, his brother Perseus, on the other hand, was quiet and liked to be left alone to read,

"Mummy, what if I'm in a different house to Calais?" Perseus asked as he went through his trunk for the fifth time that day,

"That won't matter, Houses don't dictate who you can and can not be friends with, look at your father and me, we were in opposite houses and we still ended up together," Hermione smiled

"Yeah but Nanna said you hated each other," the boy said, "When you were at school that is"

"Well, yes your nanna was correct, but we hated one another because back then…" Hermione struggled to explain the predigests that had governed their school lives,

"When your mother and I were at school, many of our classmate's parents, including my father and your nanna, were raised believing that they were better than people like your mum, witches and wizards that didn't have magical parents, so that was how they raised us…then there was a big war that changed everything," Draco said leaning against the doorframe,

"And now people don't think that way?" Perseus asked,

"Some do, but most people have moved on" Hermione smiled,

"And if you have any trouble remember, Uncle Neville and Uncle Hagrid are there and they will help you" Draco smiled,

"and Pandora will be there for you if you need help," Hermione said, "So are you all packed?"

"Um maybe I need to check one more time," the boy said looking at the neatly packed trunk

"I'm sure it's fine, son" Draco smiled, "Besides table is booked for 5:30"

"Not that the owner needs a table" Pandora piped up from behind her father,

"Are you all packed darling?" he smiled as she moved beside him in the doorway nodding and hugging her dad.

Pandora had grown into a beautiful young woman, she had her fathers blond hair that fell in ringlets down her back, her mothers eye colour and her father's eye shape, a perfect merge of both of her parents, where her brothers were identical to one another and perfect mini clones of their father.

"is Calais finished packing?" Hermione smiled,

"If you could call it that" Pandora giggled, "More like he threw everything on the bed and then lifted the blanket so it all fell in the trunk, I fear that he may have already smashed several ink wells" she sighed, both of their parents rolled their eyes,

"I shall go and see the damage" Draco smiled letting his daughter go,

"Pandora are you wearing that to dinner?" Hermione asked closing Perseus trunk,

"No, I was gonna wear that dress nanna brought me" she smiled, "But I need your help with the zip" she smiled,

"Ok sweetheart I'll be there in a minute" she smiled, moving to Perseus wardrobe and pulling out a dark blue shirt and black trousers, "Here we go, sweetheart, Daddy will help you with your tie in a minute" Hermione smiled laying the outfit on the bed before she exited heading to her daughters room. Pandora was there waiting for her mother to zip up the back of the dress.

She was wearing a 50's style poodle skirt dress with shirt sleaved, it was a Black with crimson red roses and she had a pair of Crimson red mary-Janes with a slight heal,

"You look stunning darling" Hermione smiled.

The family stepped out into Diagonally, heading towards the restaurant which already had a que leading from the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes to the restaurant. Draco and Hermione lead their children straight to the front where they were greeted warmly by the concierge

"Chef, Malfoy, Mrs Malfoy-Granger" he smiled stepping aside and allowing the family to enter,

"What is the wait tonight," Draco asked,

"Don't answer him" Hermione warned knowing her husband would end up abandoning their family meal to make sure that all their patrons would get fed,

"We're fine sir, enjoy your meal with your family, we have everything under control" the concierge smiled, "Your usual table has been saved, Mr and Mrs Zabini and their children are already inside." He smiled,

"Thank you" Hermione smiled pushing her husband inside so that he couldn't grill the poor lad "Draco, move" she smiled,

"This is your fault my love" he smirked back making his way to the balcony were Blaise rose to meet them,

"What is her fault" He smiled raising an eyebrow, hugging his friend,

"That I worry about this place" Draco smiled, "Luna you look stunning" He smiled hugging the very pregnant woman,

"Junor" Pandora smiled greeting the eldest Zabini child. Who smiled back at her.

"Anyone would think you two were in competition with the Weasleys" Draco smirked at his friend taking a seat,

"Too right" Blaise laughed,

"Um no" Luna smiled playfully smacking her husband, "I think five is more than enough," she smiled her hand resting on her belly. Luna and Blaises Eldest boy Blaise Junor was starting Hogwarts with the twins this year, next was their seven-year-old son Lorcan, then their four-year-old twins Bowen and Balthazar,

"And what if I don't get my little girl" Blaise sulked,

"We'll get a cat" Luna laughed,

The waitress appeared at the table,

"Good evening and welcome to Hermione's" she smiled, then realised who her customers were, "Sorry sir, didn't register that it was you, how is everyone today" she smiled,

"We are well, Lisa, can you bring us a bottle of the 1920 Leopold Carrere Vintage Armagnac, you'll find in my office" he smiled,

"Of course sir" she smiled, "And a pitcher of Apple or is it Pineapple today" she smiled looking towards the group of children happily talking at the end of the table, Draco looked to Blaise who nodded

"No, I think they deserve a treat today, a pitcher of Coke, but only the one they can have Pineapple Juice after" Draco smiled,

"Right away sir"

The evening was pleasant and they enjoyed the new experimental menu that Draco had been working on, which went down a treat with everyone, except with Lorcan who only wanted chips,

"My chefs work so hard and you just want chip" Draco laughed in mock hurt! "My own godson" he laughed

"I'm sorry Uncle Draco but I want Chips" the boy had said with no remorse causing the whole table to burst out in laughter.

Hermione slipped into bed that night after tucking in the boys for the last time,

"It'll feel so empty tomorrow" she sighed, moving to rest her head on his shoulder, Draco wrapped his arm around her tightly pressing his lips to her hair, before smiling,

"We could always…" he flipped her onto her back, moving between her legs, that she wrapped around his waist,

"You want to go through nappy changing again?" Hermione smirked as he leant down to place a kiss on her lips,

"It wasn't so bad" he smirked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you Mr Malfoy" she smiled,

"I love you Mrs Malfoy-Granger
