Chapter 12


Hermione couldn’t sleep, she couldn’t stop thinking, and she kept playing the evening over and over again in her head. She had been so nervous about introducing Draco to Harry and Ginny again. She turned over to look at him sleeping next to her. She noticed he still had a marker moustache on his face and mashed potato in his hair. She started to giggle as she recalled the evening.



-----------------------------------------------------------

They nervously held hands as they walked through the fireplace into the warm, hectic living room of the Potters, their twin boys were waddling around and colouring with Harry on the floor. Harry admired the mass of scribbles that was his wife and looked up to see them looking at him. Harry narrowed his eyes in silent fury and softly, angrily muttered


“Malfoy...”


He slowly stood up, and silently walked over to Draco, glaring at him while Draco took a defensive position, his eyes darting from a confused Hermione to a scary Potter. As soon as he reached them Harry broke out into a huge grin and reached out to shake his hand.


“Good to see you again Draco.” He said casually.


The situation was just too ridiculous for Draco, he burst out laughing.


“Always a pleasure Harry. And who are these two men?” He said nodding to the twins.


They both walked over and Harry introduced him to his little men. Hermione, who was still in shock and incredibly confused over what just happened, was frozen in place until Ginny came in and walked over to her.


“Harry did the whole intimidation thing?” she said nonchalantly.


“What...what just happened?” Said Hermione, who was finally able to move again. Ginny laughed.


“They’re just being guys hun. Draco’s your boyfriend, it’s almost Harry’s job as your older brother to do something intimidating and teasing to him. It was a weird guy test. Draco obviously passed.”


“I will never understand men... So how are you?”


“Fantastic actually, but you know all that I want to hear all about this!! You’ve been holding out! Details!”


Hermione laughed and followed Ginny into the kitchen while Draco and Harry talked on the couch.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Men’s side-----

“So you and Mione eh?” Harry said casually, glancing at Draco who was watching the twins.


“Yeah, me and Mione.” He said with a soft smile. “You ok with that?” He turned to Harry, who looked at him for a few seconds and shrugged.


“Yeah, I didn’t think I would be, no offence.” Draco shrugged, “But I started thinking of all the worse things she could do, and you two do have a lot in common, she was glowing when she walked in. I haven’t seen her glow in a while.”


“Glow?”


“Ya, she just... I don’t know how to describe it. When she’s in a good mood, happy, she just looks like she glows.”


“I know what you mean, it was one of the things that originally attracted me to her.”


“Do you love her?”


Draco’s jaw dropped, his mouth opened and closed but only awkward sounds came out as he stared at Harry in horror. His face went bright red and Harry burst out laughing.


“Calm down Draco, I just wanted to be sure.”


“It’s.... It’s.... too soon to tell. But gods I really do like her.”


His face went bright red again when he realized who he was talking to. He didn’t really have anyone to talk about this with anyways so he accidentally jumped at the first chance. Only to realize the person he was talking to was Harry bloody Potter...


He wished he had someone to confide in about this. Someone who could tell him how to proceed. He really had no idea what he was doing. And once again, he found himself blurting shit out he really didn’t want to see the light of day...


“I don’t know how to handle this...”


“What? Mione? I know she can be a spitfire but she’s not that bad!” Harry chuckled.


“No” Draco said with a grin, “The whole relationship thing. I feel like I’m gonna do something at any minute and she’ll slap me and leave me.”


“Mate that’s how most guys feel when they really like a girl. Don’t worry, she really likes you and you obviously are falling hard for her. The fact that you’re nervous shows something. And trust me, I fucked up a lot with Ginny, but we worked it out. You’re doing fine.”


Harry understood Draco’s position. He really didn’t have anyone, it had to be maddening for him. Hell he didn’t think he would have been able to make it to where he and Ginny were without some help too.


“Feel free to ask me about this anytime you want.”


“Yeah? Seriously?” Draco turned to Harry, eyes wide.


“Trust me mate, you’ll need some help and no one knows Mione like we do.” He said with a grin. Draco nodded at him. Thinking hard, when suddenly the twins wanted someone to help them colour.


“Red! Red!” Albus babbled.


“No, bub that’s black.” Draco said softly as he sat down on the floor to help the two boys colour.


Harry laughed, his boys seemed to take an instant liking to him.


“Daco! Daco!” Severus gurgled as he waddled over to Draco to touch his bright hair.


Draco laughed and picked up the boy, surprising him with a mass tickling. He kept the boys laughing until he the men were called to dinner.

----------------------------------------------------------

Women’s side-----------


Both women walked into the kitchen and began to prepare the rest of the meal silently until Ginny finally spun around and faced Hermione.


“So spill!” Ginny said impatiently, Hermione laughed.


“So I’m guessing you’re ok with him?”


“Gods yes, why wouldn’t we be? Now spill hun!”


“Where do you want me to start?”


“The very beginning! Was he romantic? How on earth did it happen!?!?”


“I don’t really know honestly. One minute we were being hostile, the next he was making me laugh. We started
talking. Gods Ginny can that man kiss...” Ginny squealed, “And I started freaking out about how I hardly know who he is anymore so he suggested we go on a date, get to know each other. Move slowly into this. He can be so adorable when he’s nervous. He honestly keeps surprising me with the cutest things.”


“Like what?”


“Like our first date he tried to cook for me, but he can’t cook... At all. I ended up teaching him, it was adorable. We honestly spend most of our dates laughing.”


There was a momentary silence in the conversation until Ginny blurted out.


“Have you done it yet!??!”


“Ginny!”


“What?!”


“I can’t believe you’d ask me that!”


“What!? He’s gorgeous! I want details” she laughed. “I gave you all mine!”


“Ya I loved hearing about Harry’s fantastic tongue” she grumbled, but laughed at Ginny’s obvious shiver.


“We actually haven’t yet, done everything else though...”


“How can you not have?!!? He oozes sex!”


“I know! Believe me I’ve tried to persuade him. But it’s a little hard to form a good argument when you’re either being snogged senseless or..... Or are otherwise occupied with other things.”


Ginny laughed, “Been there hun, Harry was impossible to convince. He almost made an honest woman out of me. Gods what a jerk, trying to make me wait till we were married.” Hermione laughed.


“How did you persuade him?” Ginny blushed furiously.


“Dinner’s ready can you call the boys?” She said quickly changing the subject.

Hermione sighed and called the boys in. Hermione found herself grinning when Draco walked in with a boy under each arm giggling away.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------


“We just found a new babysitter love.” Harry said as he walked up to his wife and kissed her on the cheek.


“Really?”Ginny said, raising an eyebrow at the two happy boys getting put into their seats by someone who used to be menacing and cruel. She smiled at how happy Draco seemed to be around them.


“You seem really good with kids hun.” Hermione said softly as he sat down beside her.


“Love them, always wanted more siblings, and can’t wait to have kids of my own.”


Hermione smiled, and found herself imagining she and Draco with little ones, him chasing them around the house laughing while she made cookies. “WOAH, ok ok Hermione, you just caught yourself thinking of a very VERY far future with this man, you don’t even know if you love him yet. Do I?”


Hermione snapped herself out of her trance as she was passed mash potatoes by the man she had just been thinking out. She smiled up at him and without thinking he leaned in and softly kissed her lips before he froze, forgetting where they were. He slowly leaned back and say up perfectly straight, his face bright red.


“Sorry,” he mumbled, “forgot where we were.”


Both Ginny and Harry laughed, both of them thrilled to see someone openly showing Hermione affection, sweet affection that she deserved. It didn’t escape their notice either how happy Hermione looked after he’d kissed her. Snape was right, they’d never seen her this happy before.


“Don’t worry about it Draco.” Ginny said. “You’re dating, you’re allowed to show public forms of affection. It’s nice to see Hermione get that kind of affection.”


Draco nodded at them and Hermione looked at both of them, unshed tears in her eyes as she mouthed a thank you at them. Her smile to them was bright and unbelievably happy. “God damn Snape knows everything” Harry and Ginny thought at the same time.


Dinner progressed fantastically, conversation and laughter flowed and by the end of it both Harry and Ginny were convinced that not only were Draco and Hermione perfect for each other, but both were, if not already in love, damn near close. They had agreed that night before getting into bed that they would defend this couple no matter what.


After everyone had finished eating everyone got up to help clear, Draco volunteered to help get the twins cleaned up. He failed to notice when one of the twins reached up to touch his hair, that the little hand had a fair bit of mashed potato in it. He managed to get most of it out while laughing. He cleaned both of them up and brought them back into the living room to colour with them again, while Hermione helped finish clearing with the Potters.


As soon as Draco was out of sight, she walked right towards Harry and gave him a huge hug. Harry was a little startled at the randomness of the affection but quickly hugged Hermione back.


“Thank you.” She whispered, pulling back to reveal tears in her eyes as she went to hug Ginny.


“You have no idea how much this means to me. I love you two so much and you have no idea how happy you are making my by accepting him.”


“Mione,” Harry said softly “we just want you to be happy. We like Draco, a lot, and after seeing how happy he makes you, we like him even more. We’re gonna support you and stand by you on this.”


“I was so worried you’d hate me for it.” She said, looking down.


“We’d never hate you hun.” Ginny said as she hugged Hermione again.


“We’re so happy for you, and we can’t wait to do this again.” Ginny said as Hermione pulled away from the couple.


“Thank you, again. I’m gonna go check on him.” She said as she wiped her eyes and exited the kitchen.


Harry put his arm around his wife’s waist and pulled her close, both of them smiling and silently thanking Snape.


“I really am happy for her.” Ginny said earnestly.


“Me too,” he said as he kissed the top of her head. “I’ve honestly never seen her this happy before. I really hope the Weasleys don’t ruin it for her.”


“We’ll be there for her.”


Harry kissed the top of her head once more and pulled her close once more before he went back to clearing the table. Suddenly they both heard loud laughter.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Hermione had walked in to find a one of the twins in Draco’s lap as he sat cross legged with colours and paper all over the floor. Albie was in his lap swinging a black marker through the air. Draco had managed to avoid most of the swings near his face, but one of them had caught him on the top of his lip on one of the sides. Hermione walked in and started laughing.


“You have half a moustache.” She said with a giggle.


“Red! Red! Red!”


“No mate that’s black. And I’m sure. Want to help with that?”


Hermione walked over and knelt before Draco and Albie, taking the marker from him. And instead of cleaning off the marker she held his chin and finished drawing a moustache that Albie had started for her. She even finished it off with a little twirl at the end. Draco’s eyes widened.


“There you go! Fixed it, now you have a full moustache.”


She burst into laughter until Draco kissed her and rubbed some of his lip on top of hers, hoping some would rub off. He stopped kissing her and burst into laughter. Some definitely had rubbed off. Harry and Ginny walked in to find Hermione and Draco laughing at each other. Draco had a curly moustache while Hermione looked like Charlie Chaplin.

“Do I even want to know what happened here?”


Draco and Hermione looked up to see them both staring at them and that only caused a louder burst of laughter.


“Mus..ache” Albie said as Sev looked up and waddled over, and reached up and touched her lip.


“Want one mate?” Draco said between laughter.

By the end of the evening, Albie had a handlebar moustache, Sev had a huge bushy one, Harry had one curlier and finer than Draco and Ginny had a goatee.
