"Are you all packed?"

             "Yeah. Thanks Draco, by the way." I said. He smiled, put down what he was holding and walked over to kiss me. "Oh I'm going to miss this Princess." He said. "Me too. This really was an amazing honeymoon." I said smiling. "Oh yeah?" He chuckled. "Even when you got stung by that jellyfish?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh fuck off! It was huge!"

"Really? Because last I checked, you're the girl who fought off a pack of werewolves without magic. How does a jellyfish compare?!?"

"..."

"That's what I thought."

"Okay, let's change the subject. I got an owl last night from the ministry when you were in the shower."

"Darling we showered together."

"Yes, but remember. You went into the shower first. I joined after around five minutes."

"Ah. Well what'd the letter say?"

"Well, it was actually for both of us. Minister wants us in his office tomorrow at noon."

"Shit. Pius Thicknesse is the worst. No doubt he's angry about something."

"Right. Also Luna and Neville invited us over to their house, so we really should be going then. Got everything?"

"Clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, journal, owl, towels, and you. Got everything."

"Alright. I'll apparate us to Luna's."

             "Shit. Luna and Neville looks like they got a pretty nice house in the country side." I said. We had arrived to a lovely house on a hill. Everything looked so peaceful. So quiet. "No kidding." Draco agreed. I knocked on the door which was opened by Luna.

"Oh hello Y/N! Hello Draco, it's lovely to see you both. I heard you two went on a honeymoon to Australia. How'd that go? Amazing location by the way. There's barely any nargles in that part of the world."

"It was- a good break. Especially from work. I don't think Thicknesse likes Draco or I very much."

"Well I'm glad to hear you had a nice break. Come on in! Neville's asleep with- nevermind. Lets sit down and talk first."

             We walked into the home which smelled lightly of cinnamon. Luna sat us down at a white couch in the living room. "Would either of you fancy a cup of tea? I picked some Lavender a while ago and it's finally dried out. Of course we also have black or green tea if you'd like." Luna offered. "None for me, thank you." I answered. "Actually, do you have any jasmine tea?" Draco asked, smiling. I felt myself flush a red colour. "Of course! Let me just boil some water and I'll be right back." Luna answered. As Luna left the room, I turned to face Draco.

"You're blushing."

"Oh shut it."

"Could it be the reason you're blushing is because I somewhat admitted I think you smell nice?"

"And how so?"

"Hmm. Don't you remember I smelled jasmine in my amortenia?"

"Draco, dearest, I was giving you a chance to retreat. Now I'll have to ruthlessly beat you in a game of wizards chess- playing as black."

"Oh, well that would be horrible to my reputation, I certainly can't have that."

"Here's your jasmine, Draco."

"Ah. Thank you kindly Luna."

"Now Luna, tell us! What've you been hiding?"

"Well it's technically two things."

"Oh?"

"Neville and I wed a couple weeks ago."

"OH?!?"

"And- I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone, we just signed the papers, that's all, no ceremony. We wanted something quiet."

"As your friend, I respect your wishes, but as your cousin in law, how could you not have told us? We're literally your family for Christ's sake!"

"Oh, well then you're really going to hate this."

"Luna, I'm your fucking cousin! How could you've not told us? Not even a 'hey Draco! Guess what? I got married'? But at the same time, congratulations. Really, I wish you and Neville the best."

"Yeah yeah, what was the second this?"

"Erm- okay, well Y/N, let's not freak out here."

"I do not freak out! Right Draco?"

"...riiiigghhhhtttt. And and I'm a two headed centaur."

"Oh fuck off. Just tell us Luna!"

"Alright... Neville?"

             Neville walked into the room carrying what looked like something wrapped in a pink blanket. He was smiling from ear to ear as he sat down with us. "Y/N, Draco, meet Hope. Your first cousin once removed. Your niece." Neville said, handing Draco the baby. Draco chuckled as he took her in his arms. "Hello Hope, I suppose I'm your uncle. You shall call me Draco nonetheless. You, my darling, are beautiful. Just like your mum and dad." Draco said. "We need to talk when we get home." I whispered to Draco. Draco handed me the babe carefully. I took her in my arms and allowed her to squeeze onto my smallest finger. "Y/N. my name is Y/N. in your Aunt. Right? You may call me Auntie, or Y/N. you really are a beauty aren't you? Your mum would've done good to name you Belle; but I assume Hope is the more meaningful and accurate name in the end." I said smiling, fully aware that the babe could not understand a word I'd said.

"Luna, there's no way she's your biological daughter."

"Don't be rude Princess!"

"Draco, she's not being rude. You realize a woman is pregnant for nine months. Right? Hogwarts would've done good to teach us about family life and such."

"Bloody hell. I'm never complaining about the lines at the ministry again."

"To answer your question Y/N, Neville and I adopted. The poor baby was premature. Her mum died giving birth, and her dad left her mum before Hope here, was born."

"Kind of ironic then. Isn't it? I mean, not to sound rude, but naming her Hope when she hasn't had much starting at such a young age?"

"Not hope for her, Y/N. you have to look at the bigger picture. It's hope for me. For Neville. I was- am, unable to birth a child. Hope was- is our hope to build a family together."

"I'm so sorry, I had no idea Luna."

"It's not your fault Draco, and it's not Y/N's either."

"So Luna and I have been talking, and we want Y/N to be godmother, and Draco to be godfather... I mean if your up for it."

"Of- of course I will be! I- thank you! I'm really touched!"

"And I would be happy to be Hope's godfather. Congratulations you two!"

"Yes, now I'm sorry to cut this short but Draco and I really need to go home. You know, Ministry work early tomorrow morning."

"Of course! Thank you both, immensely!"

             We both waved goodbye, and I apparated us home. "Draco, we need to talk."
