Afterlife



By: LolaDiBlack



It has been so long since the war and people had move on, some more than others.



The lightning cut through the dark sky, illuminating the shadowed room, where for mere seconds it was able to show the outline of a figure sitting in the arm chair facing out.



The door creaked open letting the person know that it wasn’t alone anymore, soft shuffling of feet through the wooden floored room and in a bore tone let the new arriver know “You are late”



A thunder crushed any sound made by the person in the center of the room “Come again, Granger?”



“I said I wasn’t planning on being late, Malfoy” she repeated annoyed, he stood and went to her, taking her by the wrist, pulled the auburn haired witch to him.



Breathing in her scent, he whispered “I missed you love”



“So have I” she sighed wrapping her petite arms around him, resting her head on his chest while he rested his chin atop her head and hands on her waist “Have I told you lately, I love you?”



“Not often enough” she replied



“I can show you better than I can tell you” he smirked and dipped down to kiss her fully on the lips; warm and tender to turn a bit more passionate and desperate as their tongues started to dance together.



After the war, Hermione Granger decided to pursue a career in journalism along with an apprenticeship Charms, what a surprise was to find Draco Malfoy as fellow apprentice in Charms. Their relationship have been strained at first but as late of the second month they were the only two left of the five that have started.



“Bunch of pussy whipped idiots!” sneered Draco as the last one left “Can’t charm even a bloody candle with everlasting fire and call themselves wizards?”



“So elemental” muttered Hermione on her chair from where she hadn’t move, Draco turn around to smirk as he catch her agreeing with him for the first time.



“Why Granger in favour of something I said?” he said crossing his hands over his heart “I’m moved”



“Well for the first time ever, your spiteful comment has a validation” as she stood taking her little beaded bag.



Draco stood there looking at Hermione Jean Granger in a light he hadn’t saw her but once when they were fourteen. She went on her way leaving him with a disturbing thought...



After that day they worked together developing a tentative tolerance, which grew into a friendship with a longing for something more.



By the end of their apprenticeship they have become great friends with a possessive closeness, ending one night when, they found themselves in an awkward situation, they went out to vent their stress away and a guy with one too many tried to groped Hermione, leading to Hermione breaking said guy nose and Draco beating him to a pulp by trying to touch who was his.



When Hermione turned to him, mouth agape and eyes wide, he blushed but all the same brought her by the nape to his mouth, shocked to the core when she responded and when they parted for the lack of oxygen, mirrored smirk were on their faces.



Draco pulled her up wrapping her legs around his waist, biting tenderly on the neck with a mirrored ministration from the witch who was fumbling with the buttons of his shirt as he divested her from the corset she was wearing leaving her upper body bare to him.



Moving across the study which was now dim lighted, sitting her upon the cherry wood desk; he locked his eyes with hers “How am I doing so far?”



“Pretty good” she panted with a smirk to be turned into a moan as he started to knead on her left breast with his mouth and the other with his hand, Hermione intertwined her hands on his hair and push him harder to her “More!”



He switched after awhile, using his free hand to push up her skirt and free his throbbing erection from the confines of his trousers but she smacked his hand away “Naughty boy Draco, that’s mine to undo”



In a second her hands were unbuckling his belt, unbuttoning and unzipping his slacks, quickly stepping out of them, Draco was like Mother Nature had welcomed him; Hermione spread her legs ready for him as to slid inside her, and that he did.



Groaning, moaning and panting, they set a pace with hushed words of love and lust filling the air and their ears, all too soon Hermione bit him on the neck letting him know she was close, speeding his thrusts as she spasm and arched around him.



“Draco…” moaned digging her nails on his back



“Hermione…” he grunted as she took him with her to soar above the stars.



The sound of a door closing brought them back from the aftershocks of their orgasm



“Are they here already?” she asked surprised jumping away from him to pick and fix her clothes, Draco went to do the same.



“I think they are” tucking in his shirt inside his trousers and buckling his belt again “Ready love?”



“As I’ll ever be” taking his outstretched hand they left the study.



Candles lit at their wake as they descended the flight of stairs, coming to a halt in the landing beckoning the sight before them.



“Well, hello” said one Narcissa Malfoy



Besides her was her husband, a beautiful girl with dark blond curls and amber eyes and a caramel straight haired, grey eyed boy, Hermione’s eyes pooled with tears as she tighten the grip on Draco’s hand. She ran down the stairs and enveloped the younger visitors in a bear hug and rained them with kisses, while Draco went to his parents.



“Have have you been mum?”



“We have been well, missing you lots” she said as she hugged him, tears making way to her chin, adding as she caressed his cheek “My dragon”



“Father” Draco reckoned of his father, Lucius walked up to him and looked at him for the briefest moment before imitating his wife’s actions.



“Son” he said resting his head on Draco’s shoulder, after several seconds they parted and Draco turned, while Hermione went to greet, Lucius and Narcissa.



“So there’s no love for me?” he asked with mocked hurt, the girl were the first one to run up to his open arms, catching her mid-flight he hug her as tight as she was hugging him



“Daddy!” she squeaked hiding her face in the crook of his neck and whispering softly “I’ve missed you daddy”



“I have missed you too baby girl” he whispered back as she slid down to the floor again “you are so big, and you?”



The boy ran up to him too hugging him by the midsection of his body “How have you been mate?”



“Good, daddy”



“And have you two been behaving like good children?” he asked, the two nodded and he added “then where’s the fun in that?”



“Draco!” Hermione reprimanded, Draco held his hands up in innocence “Let’s sit”



“I just told mum I got four E’s and three O’s” the girl announced proudly sitting on Draco’s lap



“And I told mum, Gryffindor won the quidditch cup last year” the boy told Draco excited



“But I keep telling him that Slytherin is going to win it this year, right dada?”

Lucius shook his head “This is an everlasting debate”



“Dadda!” she pouted



“Now, Now, Shaila Isabelle” Hermione chastised



“Sorry mum”



“How do you manage with teenage siblings in different houses, I’ll never know” said Draco gaining a glare from Lucius and Hermione



“Oh, mum Uncle Harry said he was sorry they couldn’t come this year but he is training new aurors” said Shaila with creeping blush on her cheeks



“Something else you are not telling daddy Shay?” Asked her brother with a knowing smirk, Draco arched his eyebrow in question



“Shaila, what is it?” asked Hermione, she was imagining something and if she was correct, Draco would throw a hissy fit.



“You, Aaron Draconis Malfoy are a rat!” Shaila snarled, pointing at her brother with an accusatory finger



“Now children, calm down” chipped in Narcissa



“What are you not telling us?” asked Draco quite annoyed by now, looking from the girl in his lap to the boy between him and Hermione. “Aaron?”



“She is dating Albus Potter” he answered using his mother shoulder as a shield, from whichever blond exploded first.



Luckily for him at least it was his father, who after blinking owlishly for a few seconds, bellowed “WHAT!?” just to look at his father and mother and sneer “You know about this? YOU DO!”



“Draco...” started Hermione



“No way! Don’t you ‘Draco’ me. She’s too young, Hermione”



“Draco! They are fourteen! They are not little children anymore” she reasoned with him, well, tried to



“And you!” pointing at his parents “You know about this and you are alright with it!”



“Hermione is right, son, Shay and Ary are not kids anymore” said Lucius quite amused with the whole outcome.



“But daddy!” Shaila said in a little voice, puppy dog eyes and a little pout “I really like Al and he likes me back, daddy, please?”



Draco melted like butter under the sweet expression of his little girl, well not so little anymore, he gave a defeated sigh and Shaila squealed and hugged him tight.



“But know this, if does one little thing wrong, I’m going to know and I can assure you no amount of begging is going to save him”



“Thank you daddy, I love you”



“And I, you, all of you” he confessed



They kept talking about nothing and everything trough the night, like Aaron’s famous quiditch moves, great grades on transfiguration charms and potions and his music, or Shaila’s painting and great leadership as the darkest hour set in they got up tired ready for bed.



“Oh daddy I’m going to miss you lots” Shaila said hugging her father close



“I’m always where you want me to be” he whispered as he kissed her forehead, next was his son “And you young man keep an eye on your sister alright, be good” and hugged him close to him “both of you make me very proud, I love you”



“I love you to daddy” Aaron whispered and went to his mother, Draco made his way to his parents



“Father, Mum, Thank you” he said with a teary smile “They are great, lovely and they are...well thank you”



“Oh my dragon” she sobbed and she buried her face on his chest “I wish you were here, always”



He corrected when he looked at the love of his life....



She was looking at him while smiling a teary smile too. Hugging her children close to heart, like she always carried them. They made their way to the main entrance walking together like every, All Hallows Eve, when they came to visit.



“See you next year” waved Aaron



“Love you” shouted Shaila, Lucius and Narcissa turned around as they each got hold of one of the twins and apparted away.



Draco and Hermione closed the door behind them like every year, for the past ten years, the saw their loved ones on All Hallows Eve, the only night they are given to feel alive again. They chat and hug and love and fight, like if ten years ago a maniac dark wizard hadn’t take their lives away, while they were researching on their study, where each year they wait for their love ones to come.



Once more Draco looked at his twenty-eight year old looking wife and kissed her, because he knew they love each other far beyond this life or any other....



“I love you”



“I love you too”



....and the love of his Afterlife.







The End
