19 Years Later

The cold autumn had been one that Hermione had looked forward to since she was the age of 11. It was when she finally had been able to start at Hogwarts, a place where she finally fit in. And now, all of her children were going the magical school she had called home for six years.

"One at a time you guys, otherwise you guys are going to clog the barrier and none of you will get to go to Hogwarts. Is that what you guys want?" Hermione said, scolding the three children that stood before her.

Scorpious, the oldest, was busy trying to keep his youngest sister calm while her older sister Carina told her horrid tales about the horrors of Hogwarts. Elara the youngest was nervously fumbling with her robes (her mother insisted she wore them to school instead of changing on the train, and Elara quite agreed), and Hermione looked over to Draco for help, yet he looked amused by the situation.

"You guys don't want to be left behind now do you? Otherwise you'll have to do what your uncle Harry and Ron did in second year and fly the car to Hogwarts," Draco said with a smirk. Hermione rolled her eyes at her unhelpful husband.

They heard a laugh at them, as they turned to see Harry approaching them. "Trust me, for the amount of trouble, it's not worth it," he said as he winked at them.

His eldest son James smiled at Carina when he saw her. He took her hand and allowed for her to go first through the barrier. Hermione smiled at how perfect those two were for each other in most aspects. Both were trouble makers who loved to stir up drama with their siblings. They both had spent a good deal of time in detention as well, which Hermione was not too pleased about. However Draco did not seem to like the idea of their two children dating. Carina was his daughter, and should not be seeing anyone until she was at least twenty. Hermione loved how protective he was over his two daugthers.

Hermione knew he had been pleased when she was sorted into Slytherin, especially after Scorpius was sorted into Gryffindor, after all she was the child that had taken the most after Draco in almost every aspect other than the unruly brunette hair.

As Albus saw Elara, he smiled at her. As both of them were younger siblings (although Albus wasn't the youngest), he and Elara had a lot in common. Both of them had been afraid of being sorted into a house where the other wasn't, as they were quite close and best friends from a young age. Elara was also the child who was the most fussed upon, being the youngest and all. She took after Hermione in her compassionate nature and her love of books. Physically she had long blond, yet wavy hair, and his grey eyes.

Scorpius passed through the barrier where he bet up with his girlfriend of the last seven years, Valora Zambini. Hermione was proud of her eldest child and only son, as he was more like her despite his physical appearance of being tall and possessing her husband's pale blonde hair. He was Head Boy this year and Hermione was overjoyed. He was quiet but could be just as mischievous as Draco when he wanted to be.

"Come on Love," Draco said to her as he kissed her hand and walked with her through the barrier. After the couple had gotten married there was a lot of stress upon them to conceive a child with in the first year. It had strained their marriage at times, but they were always able to work through it together. They had their ups and downs as couples tended to have, but not a single day went by where they weren't madly in love with each other.

Draco had been promoted at the Auror's office to the point where he was just under Harry himself, and Hermione couldn't be prouder. It had taken a few years but they had managed to find all the outstanding Death Eaters and lock them away in Azkaban. Hermione still worked in the office as the Medical Specialist and she had seen many interesting cases come her way. She loved the job she had, and had written several novels as well as given lectures on it as well. The profession was becoming one that more witches and wizards possessed all over the world. It had helped a lot in the Auror department when it came to the more specialized matters.

As they passed through the barrier they were met by the mob of witches and wizards hurrying to get their children all prepared an on the train. She was suddenly met by a sea of red hair, and she knew that the rest of the Weasley Children were here. Between the lot of them, there were nineteen children, all of which took after their parents in the aspects which they reflected most.

Hermione knew that many others were also happier now than they ever had been. Narcissa had finally found happiness with Severus, and the two of them had moved into a cottage in the country side. Hermione knew it had been to give both newly married couples some privacy, and she felt lucky to have her as her mother-in-law.

However other's hadn't been so lucky. Lucius had passed away into his second year in the cell after his recapture. The strain had been so bad on him that he couldn't take it anymore. Draco had felt guilty about his lack of visitation for the longest time before being able to accept his death.

Elara looked scared and Hermione knew why. She was afraid that she wasn't going to fit into Hogwarts and that she would be placed in Hufflepuff. Normally being a Hufflepuff wouldn't be bad, but between her father, James, and Carina, she had heard that only the most useless witches and wizards ended up there. Hermione had been the first to scold them at the teasing.

"Elara, what's wrong sweetie," Hermione said as she met her daughter at eye level.

"Mum what if I'm not sorted into the right house? What if I fail all my exams and have to repeat the year? What if I can't make friends and all the professors hate me," Elara asked fearfully.

"Elara, there is no wrong house. Every single one of those houses have given the world great witches and wizards. On top of that, where ever you end up with be lucky to have a talented witch like you as an addition. You won't fail your exams because you are one of the smartest witches I know. And you already have so many friends, and you will make so many more, and those friends will be with you forever. And sweetie just be yourself and no one will hate you," Hermione said reassuring as she hugged her daughter.

At that point Draco bent down on his knee. "And Ella, if they try, just tell them that you're a Malfoy, and that your father will hear about this. Trust me, it works every time," he said as he winked at her. She laughed at this, as her mother and aunts and uncles told her many, many stories about her father at Hogwarts. Hermione simply rolled her eyes at this.

Just then Ron and Luna came up to the couple and greeted them. It had taken a while for the Hermione to trust Ron again. After his jail time and the three years in therapy she had begun to meet with him as his therapist said it would be good for him. She had been sceptical at first but slowly began to meet up with him (with Draco there of course), but it still took years before she could trust him again, and several more for them to become friends again. Eight years after the end of the war, Hermione was able to call him her friend again, although they weren't ever as close. It had taken Draco a lot longer of a time to come close to accepting him. Only within the last three years had he come to accept his friendship with his wife. But he still never let her see him alone. Draco didn't want to take any chances and both Hermione and Ron accepted that.

Their children however had gotten along just fine. Rose, who was just starting Hogwarts was also just as nervous as the other would be first years, and she met up with Elara and Albus and immediately begun talking with the pair. Hugo however sauntered off to go find Lily. The pair were still upset that they would once again be left behind.

As the children boarded the train, Hermione kissed all three of them goodbye. Scorpius was fine with this, however it didn't stop Carina from pulling away embarrassed. Elara held on to her mother the longest before Scorpius gently began to lead her away.

"Scorpius, take care of your sisters," Hermione called out. "And study hard for your NEWT's this year." She knew that she did not need to tell her son this, but still felt the need to. He was considering going into Magical Enforcement, and both Hermione and Draco supported this completely.

Scorpius turned around and smiled at his mother. "Don't worry mum, I will. I doubt that Carina would want me looking after her, but I still will," he said, smirking his father's trademark smirk at the last part. He was so alike his father, and both of them knew it. Hermione was glad that he had at least gained her studious abilities.

Draco held his wife closely as she began to shed tears, just as she had for the last seven years. Harry walked up to her at that point and squeezed her hand as he held Ginny.

"It seems just like yesterday we were on that train doesn't it? Remember how you fixed my glasses?" Harry asked her with a laugh.

She smiled at his remembrance. She had been so nervous that day that she had compensated by going around practicing magic every chance she got. She also had a run in with Draco that day.

*Flashback*

Hermione held the book up in closely to her face reading it again for the millionth time. She hadn't been watching where she was going and bumped straight into him, causing her to fall straight into him, and taking them both down to the ground.

The blonde haired pale boy looked at her in surprise, but did not sneer at her clumsiness. He helped her up of the ground and smiled at her before continuing on his way

*End Flashback*

Hermione and Draco both knew that it was the first time that they had officially met and that Draco would have made fun of her if he knew her blood status. But he hadn't asked her what her name was so he wasn't obliged to find out her purity. It was the only moment at Hogwarts where Draco was openly nice to a muggleborn, and they both knew it.

They had both changed a lot more in the last nineteen years than they had their entire lives. They had become more understanding towards the other and also began accepting their spouse's friends. Hermione had become great friends with Blaise Zambini as Draco had with Harry and Ginny.

If anyone would have told her when she was in school that she would end up happily married to Draco Malfoy she would have told them that they were off their rocker. Yet here the two of them were.

Who would have guessed that Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were a perfect match for each other?

A/n: This story is finally done and I'm quite sad about ending this story. I'd love to continue this forever, but without a plot the story would be meaningless.

Anyways, on a happier note, keep an eye out for the Narcissa x Snape Fanfic 'A New Kind of Love' which I'll post on within the next few days.

I'm also going to start planning my next story so keep an eye out for that
