Draco Malfoy is standing next to a bed in the hospital. He is holding one of his newborn daughters. Hermione is laying in the bed, holding the second girl.
"Deam." she smiles. "Deam and Helga."

"Helga?"
"Yes, Helga Astoria Malfoy. Just like Helga Hufflepuff. It's beautiful."
"It is beautiful. And Deam Narcissa Malfoy. But who is who?" skrattar Draco.

"I think you're holding Helga, she has a birth mark on her neck." Hermione smiles.
"Hi Helga Astoria." he smiles and Hermione watches him as a tear leaves one of his eyes which he quickly whines away. He puts down Helga next to Deam in Hermione's arms.

"Do you have the camera from your parents' with you?" he wonders.
"In the bag over there." she says and nods in the direction of the bag. Draco gets Hermione's camera and takes a picture of her with the twins.

"The 6th of January, the day your mother called your dad a dumb bastard because he didn't understand what was going on, that's when you were born" Hermione laughs and lightly kisses both of the girls on their foreheads.

"How would I know? I was tired and you just shouted it was time without any other explanation."
"You could've just used your mind and been smarted, dumb bast-"
"Granger stop calling me that."
"Then stop calling me Granger."

"Won't happen." Draco replies. "Because-"
"I will keep calling you Granger until you one day become a Malfoy." they both say at the same time.
"Hmm, how could I have known that that was gonna be your answer huh?"

"Well-"
"You do actually say it all the time Draco."
"That's a lie."
"It's true and that time I was invited for the first time to hang out with you and your friends it was one of the first things you said to me."
"Nooo, I said it back then?"

"Yeah you did." Hermione grins at him. "You said it and that you'll call me that since it won't ever happen. But I think you were wrong back then Draco."
"Could you tell me why I don't remember this at all?"
"Cause you're a dumb....-"

Helga starts crying all of a sudden.
"Here, go to your father." Hermione says and he picks her up. "He can change your diaper." Draco puts her down and uses his wand to change her diaper. Deam has fallen asleep in Hermione's arms with her mouth open.

Suddenly Helga's hair colour goes from what had just been light blonde to a green almost neon colour. Hermione screams and points at the child. This making Deam wake up and Draco dropping Helga as he's about to pick her up again. Then her hair turns into an icy blue colour.

"But but...." Hermione starts. "How can she be a metamorphmagus? I'm muggle born and you don't have a relative who is.... Or do you?"
"Well yes, I actually do. Although they don't speak Andromeda Tonks is my mother's sister and her daughter, my cousin, was after all a metamorphmagus, just like her son is too."

"Tonks, yeah that's right... But do you think Deam is also an ehum... metamorphmagus then?" Draco shakes his head
"I have no idea, suppose she might be. Hermione look! Deam is smiling, and she's got your smile with your dimples."

"Oh and Helga too." Hermione smiles and points. "She'd got the same smile as Deam." The following night Draco and Hermione gets to bring the twins home to Malfoy Manor for the first time.
"Granger, it doesn't seem like Deam is a metamorphmagus to be honest." Draco says as the enters the house.

"You're probably right." she replies. "But she's just as perfect as her sister anyways."
Draco goes upstairs to put one of the children to bed, while her hair is currently light blue. Hermione takes the other girl to the ballroom in the meantime.

The kid waves slightly with her small hand.
"Hello hello ballroom." Hermione laughs and sits down on the floor with the child.
"In here I kissed your father for the first time." she says and smiles a bit. "Yes, I actually did. I fell for Draco Malfoy, can you believe that? I wouldn't have if anyone should've told me I would a couple of years ago."

Hermione let's the baby wrap her tiny hand around her thumb.
"But I'm glad it happened because otherwise you wouldn't exist Helga. You, your sister and Draco is probably the best things to have happened to me. Yes you are, yes you are Helga sweetheart."

Draco has walked into the room behind them.
"Granger, that's Deam." he grins at her
"No no, this is Helga. Her hair is totally purple and besides she's got a both mark on her neck."
"But I must've just put Helga to bed, cause she had blue hair. You don't mean that Deam-"

"Wait what?" Hermione exclaims and hurries upstairs into the children's room with Helga still in her arms. She puts Helga down in one of the beds and looks over at Deam in the second one.

She's calmly sleeping with her eyes closed and just like Draco had said, her hair is extremely blue. Deam Narcissa Malfoy is, just like her twin sister a metamorphmagus after all.
