Married in Hogwarts (Dramione)

We're Hiring

Hermione Pov

I look over at Ron and Harry as Blaise stands up and faces the crowd with Ginny and the two boys stare at them, both of their jaws are slacked open, "Looking at Harry and Ron's faces, I think we should have warned them beforehand," I chuckle.

The reporters attention turn to the Golden Duo, "Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, were you not aware that Miss Granger got married?"

"They were," Draco chimes. "We told them in January, they haven't spoken to Mya since then."

"Draco," I hiss.

"It's true," he shrugs. "They've gone into shock because they didn't expect Blaise to get down on one knee today. They knew Blaise was courting Miss Weasley though."

"Courting?" one reporter asks.

"Yes," Blaise chuckles. "Dating is very stressful on both parts so I went for a more traditional approach whilst wooing Miss Weasley."

"Mr Zabini was very persistent," Ginny sighs. "And he was very open with his secret courting attempts."

"It was a fun challenge!" Blaise says. "Miss Weasley didn't even have to try woo me, I fell hard."

"So I win," she chuckles. 

"We got you an engagement gift," I say.

"It benefits the four of us," Draco chuckles then whistles.

"Well it's a Malfoy gift," Blaise retorts. "It has to benefit you as well or we'd have to check on your health."

Ginny and I laugh then two flying carpets appear above the crowd. "The small one is ours," Draco says. "The large one is yours since you'll be carrying Weasley children, I expect there to be many and you'll need space to transport them all." 

I laugh, Ginny told us how they brought Ron down from Gryffindor tower and that's where we got the idea of buying them a bigger flying carpet. "It's also so you have more space if you ever have a repeat of January." 

Ginny yelps as Blaise starts laughing, "And the smaller one is so I don't have to keep letting you use Rug?"

 "Yes," we reply in tandem.

Draco turns to the crowd again, "We'll now be taking questions anything that doesn't get covered in our timeframe will be released in the Quibbler next week."

All the reporters put their hands up and I nod at an East Asian man with a purple tie. "Why have you chosen the Quibbler to publish your story?"

"Because my cousin Luna Lovegood writes 40% of the paper, my Uncle Xenophilius writes 40% and as of the beginning of February both my mother and my Aunt Andromeda have been writing the remaining 20%."

"Which reminds me," I say. "We suggested to them that the Patil twins would be great journalists and writers for the Quibbler and my mother-in-law and her sister specifically instructed us to ask the two what they thought about working alongside them."

"Rug pick the twins in row 11 between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw."

The rug dives down causing the crowd to gasp as the two girls are scooped up and they are brought above the crowd. "What do you say girls?" I ask.

"Of course! It would be amazing!" they say excitedly.

"Rug bring them to the side of the stand," Draco says.

There's another series of clicks as the girls are delivered to the side of the stand. "We plan to make the Quibbler much bigger," I say. "But our writers  need more staff. Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan and Dennis Creevey." Draco whistles again and the crowd gasps as the larger rug flies behind Neville who is quietly standing  behind us and pushes behind his legs causing him to fall down onto it then the other three boys are brought to the air.  "Dean, Seamus, we need Quidditch articles, Neville exotic plants and..." 

Draco takes over, "Dennis, we'll be needing another camera man with all of this extra content."

The young wizard's eyes widen as they fill with tears and he nods happily then the other three boys nod as well.

"Finally," I say. "We'll be needing a Hufflepuff."

Draco turns to McGonagall, "Any suggestions."
She pauses for a second, "Third year, Jimmy Zoboi."

The small rug searches for the boy and we see a dark brown hand shoot up from the crowd of Hufflepuff third years. He's carried into the air and I recognise him instantly.

"Dray, that's the kid that tried to defend me during our fake argument," I exclaim.

His eyes widen as he mouths the word fake and ducks with embarrassment. Draco nods then says "Since you're a little young Mr Zoboi, you'll have to wait a few years but you can work alongside Dennis within Hogwarts since he still has a couple of years left as well." He nods then the rug takes him down next to Dennis then Luna skips along to join the line up.

"Now this distracted couple can go back to answering your questions," Blaise announces. "All details on our wedding will be published in the Quibbler as well."

Hands go up again and Draco points to an Arab reporter wearing a white robe. "When did you get married?"

"10th July, 1998," we say in tandem.

"Were the Hogwarts faculty aware of your marriage?" another reporter asks.

"Yes we were," McGonagall replies. "We knew the Malfoys wanted to keep their relationship a secret so we continued to refer to Miss Malfoy as Miss Granger."

"Who knew of your relationship?"

"Our immediate family," Draco says.

"Baby Edward 'Teddy' Lupin was our ringbearer with aid of a S.P.E.W. supportive House Elf," I chime.

Draco chuckles then continues, "Blaise, Miss Weasley, Hogwarts faculty, Theodore Nott Junior, the Weasley twins and as of January, the Golden Duo."

"Dray," I scold as the cameras move slightly to take more shots of Harry and Ron.

"I'm not correcting anything," he says grinning slightly.

"Was Lucius Malfoy ever aware of this relationship?"

"No," Draco says. "My father is not aware of us, he still facing his life sentence in Azkaban."

Draco had pushed all thoughts of his father out of his mind, I spent the night praying any questions about him would not cause another PTSD episode.

"How did you hide your relationship and how long has it been going on?" a reporter questions.

"Dray is a Slytherin and a Malfoy, he grew up learning how to maintain an image," I explain. "And we have been hiding our friendship since I was twelve so I've had years of practice."

"How did you survive living with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named whilst being a relationship with a muggleborn?" 

I hear Harry tut, looking down on the reporter who didn't say Voldemort's name. "I am a skilled occlumence, I managed to guard the secret," he says. "Mya also managed to hide it even whilst being tortured whilst I was in the room, she deserves the title of War Heroine."

There's a series of claps.

"Now we have a question for the Hogwarts students!" I say whilst blushing.

Draco continues "Since we'll be coming back next year as teachers we want to know..."

"Do you accept us?" we yell in unison.

"Yes!" the students scream.

"I can't hear you!" Blaise and Ginny call out.

"YES!"
