Dirty Little Secret

Epilogue

Nine months after they got back together, Hermione sat in the hospital wing holding a precious little bundle with blond curly hair.

Draco raced in with Harry hot on his heals, they both stopped dead at the sight of Hermione holding her daughter, “guess it's no longer our dirty little secret.” She beamed.

Harry looked at Draco, than hit him. “that's for making her keep it a secret.” He than pulled him in hugging him, “that's for making her the happiest she has been in two years. Welcome to the family.”

Draco shook his head, and walked over to the side of the bed looking in at his daughter, “she's beautiful, she had your eyes.”

Hermione smiled even bigger, “and your hair. Now we have to tell your dad.”

“Tell me what, Draco Lucius Malfoy.” Lucius had been summoned around the same time Harry had ran to find Draco at Hermione's demand for the father of her child to get his ass out of class and there to meet his child.

Draco spun around to face the door, “um dad, you're a, uh how do I say this without you killing me.”

Lucius looked at Draco trembling and handed his wand to Harry willingly, “there I’m unarmed now tell me what is so important that Dumbledore ran to find me at the ministry in the middle of a meeting, and wouldn't leave till I was coming with him.”

Draco swallowed hard and looked at Hermione, “may I just show him might be easier.”

Hermione shrugged handing there daughter to him, she was tired and wanted everyone to go so that she could spend time with her daughter and lover.

Draco took the child and walked towards his father, “Dad sit down this is going to be a little shocking.”

For once his father did as he was asked looking at the bundle in his sons arms and the woman sitting on the bed with a blood stained hospital gown, he knew what was coming, Narcissa had looked like that after she had Draco, and he'd looked like Draco did right now when he first held him. “I'm a grandfather aren't I.” his voice was soft

Draco smiled, “yes dad, meet your granddaughter. We haven't had a chance to name her yet.” he looked back at Hermione smiling even brighter, turning back to his dad he quietly asked, “would you like to hold her?”

Lucius grinned, “I would love to.” He held his arms out for his son to place his granddaughter in them, looking down at her face he could see nothing but love, she had the Malfoy hair, but her mothers eyes, she would be the envy of all when she started at Hogwarts, he looked up to congratulate his son but his son wasn't in-front of him anymore, he was on one knee in-front of the mother of his child.

Draco handed his daughter to his father and turned around walking back to Hermione he knelt down, he'd been trying to work up the courage to do this before their child had been born, but now that she was here, she was all the courage that he needed, “Hermione, you've been my dirty little secret for too long now, I want to make you more than that. I could never regret you, even once everyone knows. So Hermione Jane Granger will you marry me?”

Hermione squealed, “Oh my god! Yes! I will marry you.” She pulled him up to her kissing him with all the energy she had.

Draco pulled back reaching in his pocket he pulled out the ring he had made for her, it was a simple twisted band with a ruby and emerald locked together in the center. He slipped the ring on her finger, “I promise no more secrets from the world about us.”

Lucius stood walking over to his son and soon to be daughter-in-law, placing the child back in her mothers arms, “Congratulations. Draco once your fiancée and daughter are well enough to travel you must bring them home to meet your mother.”

Draco nodded to his father, “of-course I will. I will send you a letter when we are ready”

Lucius nodded, he walked to the door where Harry handed him his wand. He turned to Harry “come let them have some time to get to know their daughter, I know you have a lot of questions. I know I do.”

Hermione and Draco entered the Hall, the room had been littered in pink and white balloons and signs of congratulations. Hermione carried their daughter who to decided to call Hope Hermione-May Malfoy. As they walked through the Hall to a small table to the front where both their parents were seated, there were many calls of congratulations, but there were two people at the back of the hall who were seething at the union and newest member of the family.

Hermione handed Hope to her mother when they reached to table, she turned to Draco, whispering, “stay here with Hope I have to deal with those two.” She walked back down the hall halfway. She flicked her hands at both Ron and Pansy who flung together in-front of her, “If you can not be happy for my family and I than you may leave.” She flicked her wrists once again and sent them both flying out the door, slamming it in their faces. She returned to her family and smiled, “now we can enjoy our dinner with out their bad mood.”

Draco smiled at her, “i love you, but you know, now they all know you can do wandless magic.”

She leaned over and kissed him, “remember no more secrets.”
