A Loving Reunion

1

"What can Taffy do for mistress?"

"Can you put the babies to sleep?" Hermione asked them

Taffy and Ginger bowed and took the twins, Hermione sat on her chair and covered her face with her hands

She heard the Floo and looked up, Draco entered and dusted himself off, he froze when he saw Hermione's defeated form

"What's wrong?" Draco asked and walked to her, kneeling in front of her and cupping her knees

Hermione sighed and ran a hand through his hair

"We have been invited to the Burrow—" she began, grimacing when Draco's hands tensed around her knees

"—but that's not all...we have also been required to make an appearance at a family reunion" Hermione finished

Draco took a few moments to compose himself

"What did you say? The the Weasley invitation?" Draco asked

"I said I would talk to you" she said

Draco exhaled slowly and placed his head on her lap

"What do you want to do?" Draco finally asked her "I'll do whatever you want to do" he said, his tone said otherwise but Hermione knew he didn't want o upset her

"Draco...I want to truth" hermione told hin

Draco sighed and looked at her

"I don't trust them" Draco said

"Neither do I" hermione confessed

Draco furrowed his eyebrows

"But you forgave them" he stated

"Forgiveness and trust are two completely different things, I forgave them but I don't trust them, they are back in my life but if they do something I don't like they are out of it again, I forgave them because Lyra is in love with James Potter and I didn't want her to live like we did, in secret, but I am still warily even though they are trying to make amends" Hermione explained

Draco sighed and kissed her hand

"You made an effort to forgive my parents...even though you had every right not too...I will...make an effort to not...kill Weasley" Draco told her

Hermione giggled and brought him up, she connected their lips and she smiled against him

"Have I told you how much I love you?" She asked him against his lips

"It doesn't hurt to hear it" he smirked

Hermione laughed and kissed him passionately, Draco pushed her against the chair and pinned her under him, he began trailing down her neck and she bit her lower lip to prevent a moan from slipping through

"Hermione?"

Hermione and Draco stopped, they looked at one another in confusion

"What is Potter doing here?" He gritted out

"I-I don't know" Hermione said

She stood up and fixed her outfit, Draco looked at her longingly before sighing and standing up, he fixed himself up and ran a hand through his hair and looked at the ceiling

"Go on and find out why Potter is here, I swear to Merlin I'm going to kill him, so close to shagging my beautiful wife—" Draco grumbled

Hermione left the office giggling as she made her way to the parlour

"Harry?" She asked confused

Harry turned and looked at her, James was standing beside him and he was bouncing on his toes

"Is Lyra—"

"She's upstairs in her room" Hermione told him, James smiled and said goodbye to his father

"Door open!" Hermione called out, James affirmed before disappearing in the manor

"Taffy" hermione summoned

Taffy popped in front of her

"Baby 'Dora and baby 'Lup are sleeping, what can Taffy do for mistress?" Taffy asked her

"Make sure that Lyra doesn't close her bedroom door" Hermione instructed

Taffy nodded eagerly and dissaperated with a pop

"It still feels odd to see you use an elf" Harry chuckled

"I don't use her, she's my employee" Hermione retorted

Harry rubbed his neck

"How may I help you Harry?" Hermione asked

"Ginny told me...she was hoping I could talk to you" Harry whispered

Hermione motioned him to the couch, they sat down and Hermione crossed her ankles

I've been spending too much time with Narcissa Hermione thought

Hermione looked at the doorway

"Draco and I talked...we'll go to the burrow, but this doesn't mean that we are going back to the way it was, I'm doing this for my daughter Harry, it's going to take me a long time to—"

"Trust us...trust me" Harry whispered "I know 'Mione, and I'm not holding it against you, I hurt you, I didn't...I didn't look for you after the incident...and I'm truly sorry Hermione...but-but I would really like you to join us" Harry told her

Hermione smiled softly at him

"I'm sorry Harry" she apologized

"Don't apologize 'Mione...none of it is your fault"

Hermione and Harry hugged, they made their plans for the following weekend, which was also the weekend the Malfoy's were going to America to visit Hermione's father side of the family
