A Simple Affair

I have decided that four chapters wasn\'t enough, I\'ll be doing an epilouge on Draco and Hermione\'s life. Disclaimer is the same as for the next chapter.


Part Four

CHRISTMAS TIME AND ALEX\'S BIRTHDAY

Hermione woke up on Christmas morning to the sounds of Alex\'s cooing. She looked across her room to see he was standing up in his crib. He was ready for his first Christmas. Hermione got up, and went through Alex\'s clothes looking for his cutest Christmas outfit. She found his navy blue overalls, and a red t-shirt. She also found his little long sleeve shirt that said, \'Santa\'s Little Helper\' on it. She changed his diaper, and dressed him in his outfit, and looked through her own closest looking for an outfit for herself. Hermione decided to hand over Alex to her mother so she could get dressed. She walked downstairs, smelling the bacon and pancakes, and entered the kitchen. \"Happy Christmas, Mum,\" she said.

\"Happy Christmas, sweetheart,\" Amelia Granger said. Hermione sat Alex down in his highchair, and fixed him up with a bib.

\"I\'m going to get dressed,\" she said.

\"What\'s the rush?\" her mother asked, \"You said Draco and his mother weren\'t coming until the afternoon.\"

\"I know, but I want to be ready.\"

\"Hermione, stop and eat breakfast.\" Hermione sat down, and ate pancakes and bacon slowly. She was nervous as hell., which wasn\'t the case with Alex. He was sucking on his breakfast bottle, not knowing that a third grandmother was coming into his life. When Hermione was finished, her mother led her over to the Christmas tree.

\"Actually, Mum,\" she said, \"I was hoping we can wait until Draco and his mother get here. I\'m sure they have presents for Alex.\"

\"All right, go change.\" Amelia placed Alex in his play pen, and headed back into the kitchen. She had a Christmas meal to cook.

It wasn\'t until 1 o\'clock in the afternoon when the doorbell rang. Hermione was still getting dressed when she heard her father shouting that he\'ll get it. \'Great, my father opening the door for the Malfoys,\' she thought as she pulled on her dark green skirt. Ed Granger opened the door to reveal two white blondes, a man and woman. \"Mr. Granger?\"

\"Yes?\"

\"Draco Malfoy,\" the young man said extending his hand. Ed took it, and they shook.

\"Edward Granger,\" he said.

\"Can I call you \'Ed\'?\" Draco asked.

\"No.\" Draco cleared his throat as he let go of Hermione\'s dad\'s hand. Narcissa chuckled.

\"Mr. Granger, this is my mother, Narcissa Malfoy.\"

\"A pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Malfoy,\" Ed said shaking her hand gently.

\"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Granger,\" Narcissa said.

\"Please, call me Ed.\" Narcissa chuckled as Draco nervously chuckled behind her. Ed stepped aside to let them in, and closed the door behind Draco.

\"We have presents for little Alex,\" Narcissa said with a smile. \"And for Hermione of course.\"

\"You can put them under the tree, Mrs. Malfoy.\"

\"Thank you, and it\'s Narcissa.\" Draco groaned inwardly as he took the presents from his mother, and put them under the tree.

\"Hermione, your guests are here!\"

\"I\'ll be right down!\" Hermione shouted from upstairs. Draco moved over to his mother, and took her cloak off, and wondered where to put them.

\"You can hang those on our coat rack, Draco,\" a voice said from the hall. Hermione\'s mother came down the hall from the kitchen still wearing her apron. \"Hello, Amelia Granger,\" she said introducing herself to Narcissa.

\"Narcissa Malfoy. My son, Draco.\"

\"Hello,\" Amelia said shaking Draco\'s hand, \"Hermione should be down in a minute.\" She turned to Narcissa with a smile. \"Would you like to see your grandson?\"

\"You have no idea how many years I have been waiting for this boy to give me grandson,\" Narcissa said gesturing to Draco. Draco chuckled nervously before turning his attention to the stairs.

\"Draco!\" Hermione shouted with glee. She ran into his open arms, and squealed when he lifted her to spin her around. \"Stop, please, our parents.\" Draco put her down, and both turned around to the three adults in the hallway. They smiled before hearing Alex\'s squeal of delight. Narcissa laughed with delight as Hermione went over to pick him up from his play pen.

\"Oh, do you remember me, young man?\" she asked gently squeezing Alex\'s nose.

\"Da!\" Alex shouted pointing over to Draco who was behind Narcissa. She laughed.

\"Oh, it seems he wants his daddy,\" she said. Hermione handed Alex to Draco who took him into his arms.

\"A Malfoy always knows what he wants,\" Draco said. Narcissa chuckled before sitting down on the sofa. Draco bounced Alex on his hip as Hermione sat down on the chair behind her.

\"Well, I better get back in the kitchen,\" Amelia said, \"Dinner will be a while.\"

\"Take your time,\" Narcissa said as she watched her son interact with his son. Ed sat down next to her to engage in conversation.

\"Hermione told me this is your first grandchild,\" he said.

\"Yes,\" she said, \"But I hope not the last.\"

\"He\'s an only child?\" Ed asked gesturing to Draco. Narcissa nodded.

\"My husband only wanted a son, and we got Draco our first try, although it was a difficult pregnancy.\"

\"Trouble conceiving?\"

\"To say that was the least of our problems is an understatement, Ed,\" she said, \"When we finally did conceive, Lucius lost interest in me, and spent most his times with his mistress. I almost lost Draco one time when I caught them in bed. The birth was difficult as well.\"

\"Early?\"

\"Almost two months,\" she said, \"I was in labor for almost twenty four hours with him.\" She smiled seeing Draco fly Alex around the room. \"So, what about, Hermione?\"

\"An only child, too,\" he said, \"She was a healthy baby girl. Amelia carried her to full term, but had to have a c-section because her blood sugar was high.\" They watched as Hermione took Alex from Draco, and walked over to them.

\"Mrs. Malfoy ..\"

\"It\'s Narcissa, dear.\"

\"Would you like to hold Alex?\"

\"Of course,\" she said. Narcissa held her arms out for Alex, and Hermione gently laid Alex into his grandmother\'s arms. He was intrigued by the lady with the long fingernails, and went to grab one. \"No, no sweetie, those aren\'t yours.\"

\"You hold him like a pro, Mother,\" Draco said.

\"I hold him like a grandmother, Little Dragon.\" Hermione snickered at Draco\'s nickname. Draco nudged his girlfriend to not pursue the matter. It didn\'t work.

\"Little Dragon?\"

\"It\'s an old nickname when I was little,\" he said. Before Hermione could ask anymore questions on the matter, Amelia walked in announcing dinner.


After the hefty meal, which Narcissa complimented Amelia on, they headed back into the living room for presents. Alex got some shiny new toys from his grandmother and father. Hermione was surprised to get the chenille sweater from Narcissa while she got a pearl necklace from Draco. And even though Edward didn\'t want to, him and Amelia got something for Draco. He was completely taken by surprise when Amelia placed it on his lap. \"This is from Ed and I,\" she said. Draco took the paper off, and opened the box getting a whiff of leather. He pulled out a leather jacket with a green scarf out of the box.

\"Thank you very much Mr. and Mrs. Granger,\" he said.

\"The scarf is from me. Ed got you the jacket.\"

\"Got Harry one just like it. Thought you could you use one as well,\" Ed said. Draco smiled.

\"Thank you,\" he said again. Ed and Amelia smiled as he pulled them on. \"Well, it fits.\"

\"One size fits all,\" Ed said.

\"Although when Harry put his on he kinda swam in it,\" Amelia said, \"But I guess he\'s been small his entire life.\"

\"I\'m afraid Harry\'s stuck a 5\'8, Mum,\" Hermione said, \"It\'s from the abuse he took as a child at the Dursleys.\" They all talked for several hours as Alex settled on the floor with his new toys. It wasn\'t until late in the afternoon when Alex let out a big yawn signaling his mother he was ready for bed. Hermione picked him up, and carried him upstairs to her room. Draco followed, grabbing a stuffed dragon he had gotten Alex on his way. The two parents put their son to bed, and stood by his crib watching him sleep. Draco enclosed his arms around Hermione\'s waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

\"Mother wants to know if you\'d be comfortable having Alex\'s birthday party at the Manor,\" he said, \"Some relatives, who weren\'t Deatheaters, want to see him.\"

\"I\'ll have to think about it,\" she said.

\"I\'ll tell her.\" Hermione turned around in his arms, and gave him a small kiss. \"What was that for?\"

\"For bringing another grandmother into Alex\'s life,\" she said causing him to chuckle. They kissed softly again before leaving the room to let their son sleep in peace.


Eventually by the Easter holidays, Hermione agreed to hold Alex\'s 2nd birthday party at the Manor. Narcissa was ecstatic, and immediately begun getting the parlor ready for the party. She was going to save the ballroom for Hermione and Draco\'s engagement party, if her son ever got around to proposing to her. Harry and Severus already got married giving Alex another godfather or \'Uncle Sevy\' as the toddler liked to call him. His few words that he spoke began to get more clear as he grew older, and by the time his second birthday came around he was making full sentences, even though no one could understand him, except his parents. As Narcissa got the house elves cracking on the parlor, Draco, Hermione and Alex made their way to the Manor from Hogwarts. They traveled by portkey which took them to the porch of the Manor. Alex was in awe of the place as Draco led Hermione into the entrance hall. \"This is just the entrance hall?\" she asked. Draco nodded as he called for a house elf. The elf, Blinky, was sent to tell Narcissa that they arrived, and Draco took Hermione\'s coat off her so she didn\'t have to put down Alex. Narcissa came into the room, Alex\'s face lighting up when she did.

\"Nana!!\" he shouted opening his arms for his nana. Narcissa gladly took Alex into her arms, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. \"Nana, we have party?\" he asked.

\"Yes, just for you,\" Narcissa said, \"Oh, your grandmother is already here, Draco.\"

\"That\'s my Nana,\" Draco told Hermione, finally explaining why Alex called Narcissa \'nana\'. \"Mum, I was going to get Hermione\'s parents if you want to introduce Alex and Hermione to Nana.\"

\"All right,\" Narcissa said and she took Hermione\'s hand, and led her into the parlor. Draco left with a pop hearing her mother greet Nana. Hermione saw aged woman approach her and Narcissa with a smile. \"Latrice, this is Hermione Granger, Draco\'s girlfriend, hopefully soon to be fiancée,\" she said. Hermione chuckled as Latrice came forward.

\"It\'s a pleasure to finally meet you, Hermione,\" Latrice said, \"And this young man must be the birthday boy.\"

\"This is Alex,\" Hermione said as Narcissa handed Alex to his great grandmother.

\"Hi, Alex,\" Latrice said, \"I\'m your great nana.\" Alex squealed in delight as he pulled at Latrice\'s hair. The three women laughed as Hermione took her bag, and resized the presents inside. \"I\'ve met your grandson, where\'s mine?\"

\"Draco went to get Hermione\'s parents,\" Narcissa said as Alex was placed in a playpen. Hermione gave him some toys, and he went into his own little world.

\"I see both Draco and Hermione in that little one,\" Latrice said, \"He\'s walking?\" Hermione nodded with a smile.

\"He was being babysat by his godmother when he started, and she grabbedhim, brought him down to my classroom, put him on the floor, and he walked straight to me,\" she said, \"I was so excited that I dismissed the class early, headed down to the dungeons and did the same thing to Draco.\" Narcissa and Latrice laughed as they imagined Draco teaching class, and getting interrupted by his son walking over to him. They were still laughing when Draco came into the parlor with Amelia and Ed.

\"What\'s so funny?\" he asked.

\"Just telling them the time Alex took his first steps,\" Hermione said.

\"Oh,\" he said before giving her a kiss, \"Is that all?\" he asked.

\"Draco, I demand that you give me one of those,\" Latrice said.

\"Yes, Nana,\" Draco said going over and kissing his grandmother. \"Nana, these are Hermione\'s parents, Amelia and Edward Granger.\" Pleasantries were given as the Grangers shook hands with Latrice. Blinky suddenly popped into the room, and announced that more guests were arriving, and Narcissa said to get the food ready. Harry and Severus arrived with gifts in hand for little Alex. Harry immediately went over to his godson who pulled himself up for a kiss from his godfather. Draco\'s aunt and uncle on his father\'s side from Greece arrived with his cousin, Adam, and his wife, Amanda in tow. The Weasleys arrived in the dozens. Narcissa opened the gardens and yard for the dozen red head children. Minerva arrived shortly after that as did Remus Lupin and Tonks. Narcissa greeted her niece with a kiss and hug, and introduced her to her cousin. Soon the party was in full swing, and the food was given out. Alex sat in his play pen with Ron and Susan\'s two year old, Samuel, and they played together. It was halfway through the party when Blinky took Draco aside saying he had a visitor in the hall who wasn\'t a party guest. Draco entered the hall to see his ex wife, Pansy Parkinson, helping herself to a tart on a tray. \"What are you doing here?\"

\"Draco, what\'s this I hear that you have a son?\" Pansy asked.

\"Hermione and I have a son,\" Draco said, \"Remember? You were barren, and couldn\'t produce an heir for me.\"

\"Oh, but see, I got it all worked out,\" Pansy said, \"Granger\'s provided a son for us.\"

\"Us? There\'s no \'us\',\" he said, \"Or maybe you forgot that we divorced.\"

\"We can get remarried now that I\'ve got a son for you.\"

\"I already have a son,\" Draco said, \"What are you getting at?\"

\"I see what you\'re doing, Drakie,\" Pansy said, \"You\'re befriending the Mudblood so that when she least expects it, you obliviate all of her memories she has of her son, and I become his new mother.\" Draco chuckled.

\"No, not even close,\" he said, \"I\'d rather Hermione takes Alex, and raise him herself then let you be his new mother. Besides, he\'s got her imprinted in his mind that she\'s his mother.\"

\"Than we obliviate both of them.\" Draco stared down his ex wife, and roughly grabbed her arm. \"Ow, Draco, let go!\" Draco pulled her all the way to the entrance hall of the house.

\"How can you even suggest that Parkinson?!\" he shouted, \"Obliviate my own son of his memories of his mother?!\"

\"Draco, she\'s a filthy, dirty, Mudblood! She doesn\'t belong in your family!\"

\"The only thing that\'s filthy and dirty is you,\" he said, \"And I appreciate that you stop calling the mother of my son a Mudblood. All that is over and done with. It has been since Harry stuck the Dark Lord with his sword.\"

\"But, Draco ...\"

\"You had your fun, Parkinson,\" Draco said, \"The two years we were married were so horrible that I slept with Hermione while you were off visiting your Healer trying to fertile.\" Pansy gasped. \"Now, leave this house before I physically do it for you, and let me give you a good and proper warning. You come anywhere near Hermione and Alex, I will have you thrown into Azkaban with your father.\" Pansy gasped again as Blinky opened the door. \"Good day, Ms Parkinson. Good luck finding a husband.\" And with that Draco turned around, and went back to his son\'s birthday party. Hermione was just coming out of the parlor looking for Draco when he came down the hall.

\"There you are,\" she said, \"I was looking for ..\" She was cut off when Draco suddenly kissed her. She was a little taken back by it, but soon responded. He pulled away from her watching her come down from the kiss. \"What was that for?\" she asked.

\"For being a wonderful mother to my son,\" he said. Hermione chuckled before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

\"Come on, time for the cake,\" she said pulling him into the parlor.


< LATER THAT NIGHT >

Draco gently put a sleeping Alex into his crib, and pulled the blanket over him. He and Hermione were going to spend the night at Malfoy Manor so Narcissa had a nursery done up next to Draco\'s old room. The room was littered with presents that he had fun opening, and Draco stepped around them grabbing the baby monitor Hermione insisted on using until Alex went primary school, and headed into the bedroom where Hermione was waiting. He closed the sliding doors shut, and turned on the monitor. He tossed it to Hermione who caught it, and placed it on the bedside table. \"Pansy showed up,\" he said.

\"Uninvited?\" she asked. Draco nodded. \"What did she want?\"

\"Alex,\" he answered.

\"What?!\" Draco covered her mouth with his hand.

\"Shh, you\'ll wake Alex,\" he said before removing it.

\"What did she want with Alex?\"

\"She\'s still bitter about the divorce, and she saw Alex as way to get back into the family. She gave me a proposition, well, she gave me theory is what she did.\"

\"Theory?\"

\"She had this whole cockamamie idea that I was just befriending you to get Alex, and I would obliviate you of all your memories of Alex, and make her Alex\'s new mother.\"

\"But Alex knows me as his mother,\" she said. Draco held up his hand.

\"This next part really pissed me off,\" he said, \"I did mention that to her, and she said to obliviate him of his memories of you.\"

\"That bitch!\" she shouted causing him to cover her mouth again.

\"Hey, what did I say about yelling?\" he said .

\"She takes one step towards my son I\'ll kill her with my bare hands,\" Hermione said.

\"I already threatened her. Especially when she called you \'Mudblood\'.\" Hermione groaned as Draco climbed onto the bed with her. \"Then I told her that I slept with you while still married to her. That really shut her up.\" Hermione giggled as laid next to her. \"I had to kiss you once that confrontation with her was over.\" She looked over to him, and slowly pushed him onto his back, and crawled on top of him. \"Hmm, what are you doing, Ms Granger?\" he asked. She put her elbows on either side of his head, and gave him a kiss.

\"Why don\'t you figure it out?\" she asked.

\"Oh, so that\'s why you have the very sexy bed outfit on.\" Hermione squealed as Draco turned them over to be on top. His hands went right for her thighs, easing them apart as they hungrily kissed each other. Her legs found their way around his waist, and they rubbed against each other like two dogs in heat. \"Hm, you taste so sweet,\" he said kissing down her throat.

\"You realize that we could be giving Alex a baby brother or sister,\" she said.

\"Uh huh,\" Draco said, \"It\'s your fault when you put on this outfit. It\'s driving me crazy.\" Hermione\'s hands went to his shirt, and pulled it over his head. He went for her top, and pulled it over her head. The rest of the undressing happened in a flash, and Draco found himself in between Hermione\'s legs again, and he gently pushed his cock into her. They both groaned out as the last time they were together was when Alex was conceived. Hermione wrapped her legs around Draco\'s waist, and gave him a squeeze. He moaned at the pressure, and began to thrust in and out of her. Hermione ran her hands through his hair before pulling head down, and joining their lips together. As they got the rhythm they wanted together, Alex\'s cries streamed through the monitor. \"Oh, shit, Alex, your timing is off,\" Draco groaned. Hermione unwrapped her legs to let Draco pull out of her.

\"Maybe he doesn\'t want to be a brother yet.\" Draco chuckled at Hermione\'s comment, and pulled on his pants.

\"Wait just like that,\" he said at her naked position with her legs open. \"I\'ll be right back.\"

\"Like I\'m going to go anywhere,\" she said.

\"Don\'t fall asleep either.\" Hermione chuckled as he went into their son\'s room. Alex had had a nightmare about some pudgy face lady, and went back to sleep with assurances from his daddy that she won\'t bother them anymore. When Alex was asleep again, Draco went back into the bedroom to find Hermione had fallen asleep. \"Oh, Hermione,\" he groaned. He pulled off his pants, and climbed into her open legs, pushing back into her. Hermione woke straight up to get kissed beyond kissed before Draco rolled over to get her on top. \"Ride me,\" he said.

\"On one condition,\" she teased.

\"What?\"

\"Marry me,\" she said. Draco cocked an eyebrow up.

\"You\'re proposing to me?\"

\"Why not?\" she asked.

\"It\'s usually the guy who proposes, not the woman.\"

\"A woman can do anything she sets her mind to,\" Hermione said. \"Now, how about it?\" she asked taking his hands off her hips, and pinning them down.

\"You want me to decide now?\" he asked. Hermione nodded as she slowly rolled her hips. Draco let out an agonizing moan, but stopped when she stopped the movement. \"You\'re going to kill me.\"

\"Not until I get an answer,\" she said.

\"Yes,\" he said, \"Yes, I\'ll marry you.\" Hermione smiled, letting his hands go back to her hips. She grabbed him by the shoulders, and pulled him up. His breathing had heightened to hyperventilating as she started to roll her hips again. \"I will, however, hmm, holy, Merlin,\" he moaned, \"Properly propose for my mother and unh, nana\'s sake.\"

\"Not in front of them I hope.\"

\"No, just the, ahhh, two of us.\" Finally Draco couldn\'t take anymore of her torture, and got her back underneath him, and started to thrust into her. Her legs wrapped around his waist a third time that night, and they made passionate love all night.


Don\'t worry about Pansy. That\'s it for her.
