15 years later
"Ayria Helena Malfoy give your brother back his badge and do help your sisters with their shoes!" I yelled up the stairs.
"Here Danny FETCH!" She called and I heard him cry out in triumph as he must have managed to catch it.
"Scorpius are you ready?" I called as I dished out the bacon.
"Yes mum." He came down the stairs already dressed in his robes and I smiled at my son.
"You look so handsome." I told him small sniffle.
"Muummmmm, don't start now." He groaned.
The next person to enter the kitchen was Draco carrying a now sleeping Cissa in his arms while our three-year-old Minerva or Minnie as we nicked named her hung off his shoulders.
He placed Cissa in the basket and lent over to give me a brief kiss. "Darling," He says with a wink. "I seem to have lost Minnie." The three-year-old on his back giggled and I gasped dramatically.
"We know my love however shall we find her." I look at Scorpius whole was sneaking up behind Draco. The boys grabbed his sister and pulled her down Draco turned to help take her weight and began tickling her while she giggled and squealed.
Heavy steps on the stairs and Daniel entered the room also dressed in his school robes adorned with blue and bronze, proudly displaying his prefect badge.
"Good morning Mum, dad," he greeted before taking his seat.
"Good morning Daniel. Do you have everything?"
"Yes, everything is packed, and my trunk is by the Floo. I brought Scorps down as well." I smiled fondly at the boy.
"That's was very nice of you, thank you." I smiled at him.
Lucinda and Juniper, our surprise 7-year-old twin girls followed their brother hugging me around the middle before taking their seats. The girls were identical and could give the Weasley boys a run for their money with their twin speak. The had Draco's pale complexion and platinum blonde hair but it held my wildness. Their eyes were my chocolate brown and full of mischief. I turned to dish them out some breakfast.
"Thanks mum!" They said before digging into their bacon and eggs.
Finally, Ayria entered the kitchen wearing He muggle jeans and a blue sweater. Like her twins her hair was a light brown and she had pulled half of it back while her long girls fell past her bottom. She loved her hair and refused to cut it.
Looking at her I noticed how she really had moved from child to young women over the summer and I wasn't looking forward to what this would mean in the dating department.
"Morning, mum." She kissed my cheek sweetly as if she hadn't spent the morning tormenting her twin. "Dad." She kissed Draco's as well. Ayria was also in Ravenclaw but her personality was a stark contrast to her brothers while he was quiet and thoughtful and even a bit shy, she was loud and confident and not afraid of a little trouble. A quality I blamed on too much time spent with the Weasley while growing up.
"Morning sweetie, are you all packed." I swear I saw her eye roll in through her shoulder movements as her back was too me. While she held some different traits to myself, she was defiantly my daughter, organised and studious to a fault. Those were traits that all three of my older children had inherited.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and smiled at my family. Much bigger then I had even imagined but apparently contraceptives were something Draco and I had difficulty with. I didn't mind I loved all my children and we had more than the means to supply for them.
After achieving my mastery is both charms and transfigurations, I had found out I was pregnant with Scorpius and had forgone seeking employment to pursue another interest in curse breaking. After working casually with Bill, I fell in love with the art and started freelancing. Taking jobs when I could, building a name for myself all over England and France. It worked perfectly and gave a nice payout for each job.
Draco has completed his potions mastery and found he had a knack for beauty products and perfumes. His potions, creams and scents where now sold all over the world, both magical and muggle. Most of the work was done by the employ at his company now but Draco still loves to experiment with new products and had his own potions lab set up in the basement.
Everyone finished their food and we moved to the front room ready to Floo to platform 9 3/4. I held my our 8month old Cissa in one arm while Juniper held my hand tightly Lucy gripping her twins smiles on their faces. Draco has Minnie on his hip while pulling Scorps trunk behind him. He went through the Floo first followed by Ayria and her trunk. Next Daniel and Scorpius went together, and I followed behind.
Went I stepped through Draco was there waiting with Scorpius fidgeting nervously. Minnie was already trying to escape.
"Lottie!" The twins yelled immediately running to hug their Luna and Blaise's 8-year-old daughter.
We moved over to find that Luna and Blaise were already there, though their son, Ignius beginning his second year was nowhere in sight. Ron and Pansy stood with them chatting there 11-year-old daughter would be joining Scorpius in first year this year. Molly Rose Weasley was a tiny little thing with her red hair and freckles.
"There's my God daughter." I said smiling as she ran to hug me around the waist.
"Aunty Mione." She beamed, then smiled shyly at Scorpius moving to stand behind him. I was glad that they would be starting this year together, both were generally quiet children but had found good friends in each other over the years.
"Where is Harry and Stori?" Asked Draco looking around and letting Minnie off his hip as long as she promised to hold his hand.
"Coming, apparently." Said Ron. "Harry owled me last night and said they would be here."
Harry was the Defence against the dark arts teacher he an Astoria lived on the outskirts of Hogsmeade. Their relationship had progressed quickly after school and Astoria and Harry were married 16 months after graduation with their first daughter Lily Alexis Potter being born just seven months later. They quickly followed with two more boys each less than a year after the other before Astoria declared she was done. James Sirius potter and Albus Remus Potter where in 2nd and 1st year respectively while Lily began 3rd year this year. While they didn't need to ride in on the train technically Harry and Astoria insisted it was part of the Hogwarts experience and could be found saying goodbye to their children even if they would be seeing them just hours later.
"We're here." A light voice called as Story joined us through the growing crowd, her family in tow.
"Mum! Mum! Mum!" Two voices called to me as they can running through the crowd looking as if they were about to burst. "Ria and Teddy are snogging!" They shouted before dissolving into giggles.
My eyes went wide, and I looked at Draco who looked like he was ready to march away and castrate the 17-year-old boy.
I put my hand on his shoulder and passed him a fussing Cissa. Telling him to calm down. She was 15 it was bound to happen.
"Is she really now? Our Teddy Lupin?" I asked the girls, crouching down to talk to them.
"Yep right on the lips! It was gross."
"Indeed." I said looks like I would need to have a chat with my daughter.
When Ayria, Daniel and Teddy joined us I looked at Teddy with my eyebrows raised and he had the decency to blush.
"Mrs. Malfoy, Mr. Malfoy." He nodded.
"Now, now why so formal Teddy. Remember I used to change your nappies." I told him.
"Well umm," he fiddled with his shirt nervously. "See I'd like to ask for permission to date Ayria. Formally." He gulped.
"And what does Ayria think about this." I said.
"Mum stop making him nervous. You both love Teddy and I was the one who asked him." Ayria told me grabbing the boy's hand. I broke out into a grin and watched as the teen relaxed.
I leaned forward to give him a hug, whispering in his ear. "Hurt her and they won't be able to find you." He pulled back eyes wide, nodding furiously.
It was time to go and the men helped the children load their trunks onto the train.
"We will love you all no matter where you are sorted." I reminded them and kissed Molly, Albus and Scorpius on the forehead. "Give Neville our love." I added.
"Mum we can't give our love to a professor, plus you will see him before us anyway." Scorpius groaned.
"Oi what about me then?" Asked Harry.
"Well not in public." Albus said grinning at his father.
As the trained slowly pulled from the station we waved until it was out of sight. As per tradition, even before our children started school, we moved to the Floo to head back to Our house for our 1st of September lunch.
Ginny and Neville were already there when we arrived their children Alice and Arthur playing in the backyard while Ginny had already began preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Ginny has spent 11 years playing professionally for the Holy head Harpies before finally settling down and starting a family. They lived in Hogsmeade as well not far from Harry and Astoria so to be close to Neville during the school year.
"Just make yourself at home Weasley!" Draco teased as he moved to put Cissa down for her nap.
"Yep and seeing us I'm cooking your lunch you'll stick a pin in it." She called back. Minnie ran outside to join Alice and Arthur under Neville's watch. While Lucy and June dragged Lottie up to their room to no doubt case some sort of mischief.
"No expulsions!" I called after they to be met by a holler of 'yes mum'. I still was unsure as to how they had caused numerous loud bangs with their children potion making kits and apparently it was a mystery to Draco as well. However, while it worried me it made him proud to see the girls experimenting in his chosen Felix and as soon as I would take away one kits another would appear. We compromised that he would charm their room to ensure no damages was cause and Minnie couldn't get in there, so I left it at that.
We enjoyed our lunch talking and catching up, placing bets on where our three first years would be placed.
"Long as there a no Puff's." Jokes Ron and Draco nodded his head in agreement. I rolled my eyes at them.
"We already have children in the other three houses and considering we've got two quidditch teams and reserves between the ten of us one of them is bound to be a Hufflepuff Ronald." I scolded then nodded to the children who were listening to the conversation. He turned to them and sighed.
"Course there is nothing wrong with being a puff. We will still love you all even if you end up wearing yellow." He said then turned to me as if to say 'happy.' I nodded at him with a smile.
We finished our lunch and the men cleaned the table as the women had cooked and set it.
Once we had said goodbye to everyone, I left the girls to play while looking for Draco. Finding him sitting in the kitchen deep in thought.
"Knut for you me thought?" I asked sitting down next to him.
"Was just thinking how happy I am with you my Mia."
"No regrets?" I asked him.
"Only that it took me years to see you."
"You're so cheesy." I said shoving him softly before kissing him.
"Only because you make me." He responded, kissing me again. The girls ran into the room then shriek and ran out again screaming that we were gross. I giggled and pulled away from him. "Just 11 more years. Then we will have an empty house for at least part of the year."
"Ummm," I frowned. "Maybe a bit longer..." I said hand on my stomach. His eyes went comically wide.
"Are you sure." He asked swallowing loudly.
I rolled my eyes at him. "We have seven kids dear, pretty sure I know how to cast the charm correctly at this point."
"But how... when did we even." I moved away held his hands in mine.
"Think back, first night out with no children after Cissa was born. Lots of wine, stumbling, empty office." I prodded and he nodded.
"That was three months ago." He said and I smiled.
"I had thought I was imagining it. I found out last week and have been waiting to figure out how to tell you." I had also been worried about this reaction. "You're not upset, are you?"
"What," he shook his head. "Never love, I love each of our children and even though there have been a few surprises I wouldn't change anything for the world. This included." He bent forward and kissed my stomach.
"Hey baby it's your daddy here and I just wanted to say hello and I can't wait to meet you." I wiped a tear away at his actions and words.
"They aren't ever going to let this up." He said and I nodded. We were the long-standing joke of not being able to master a 4th year charm in our friends' group after saying we were done at 3. After the surprise twins it took a few years, but we decided to try for one more as we both felt it was right. 18 months later Cissa was another surprise pregnancy... now not even a year later... we'll yes.
"No, I can't imagine so." I sighed. "Ginny is pregnant to though so at least our children still have cousins to grow with."
We sat for a few minutes before loud noises pulled up from our though and we relocated to the family room to supervise a game of exploding snap between the twins and Minnie while Cissa babbled happily a stiff dragon flew around her.
"This is defiantly the last time though. We are getting you fixed muggle style before this baby comes out of me." I told him seriously.
"Ummm, really... can't we just- "
"Obviously not, the potion doesn't seem to work for us, and we can not be trusted with the charm so we are sniffing it out at the source." I told him and he agreed weakly already paled at the prospect. I rolled my eyes at him. "I have given birth to seven children, two in a cave and another in a bathroom. You're doing this." I turned my attention back to the girls and snuggled in closer to him. He kissed my neck softly.
"Of course, Mia. I will." He spoke softly and I nodded.
As we readied for bed that night, I glanced out the window eager for an owl informing me of the children's arrival at school and sorting.
When I finally heard a softy two at the window and torn it open, the letter was from Scorpius.
Dear mum and dad.
Hogwarts is just as amazing as promised, the pictures not doing it justice. No one fell in the lake on our ride over the lake which I was glad about. The sorting hat sung about peace and friendship and the bonding of houses. That thing is strange.
I was sorted into Gryffindor mum! I'm so excited (sorry dad) and even better so we're Albus and Molly! Anyways I'm tired and Albus is waiting for me.
I love you both and promise to write every Saturday. Can't wait for classes to start.
Scorpius Draco Malfoy.
I smiled at Draco who had been reading over my shoulder, he scowled slightly.
"Dishes for two weeks." I said smugly.
"Yes, I know" then he leant over to whisper to my belly. "You'll be in Slytherin won't you little one."
"You have four other children to be sorted before this one is." I reminded him. "And those twins of yours are pretty cunning."
He smiled proudly, "yes I suppose they are, aren't they?"
We climbed into bed and I sighed as the day finally came to an end.
"I love you Hermione Malfoy."
"I love you too Draco Malfoy."
"You know it's not like I can get you pregnant again." He said and that was the only warning I had as he removed my cloths with magic and descended upon my older and slightly squishier, but still willing body. I 'nixed' the light and hummed.
"No, I suppose not."
