Back in Those Days 

Draco stood at his bedroom door, of course, he'd been standing there for ten minutes silently, his hand on the door knob. What he didn't know was on the other side, Hermione had been doing the same thing. Both of them were too afraid of seeing the other, neither wanted to talk, but both wanted to know what the other was thinking. 

Slowly, Draco turned the knob and opened the door just as Hermione did the same, the two almost ran into each other. 

"Merlin Draco."

"Bloody hell Hermione." 

Then there was a silence as they just stared at each other, then Hermione looked down.  

"Why don't you want to-"

"Of course I want to Marry you Hermione. Remember that day Theo and Blaise told you I was scared of getting married? That's true, it always has been. But it's not you, I swear, and I'll be fine by December. So don't worry about it ok?" Draco said, he kissed her forehead. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her head on his chest. "I love you, and I always will." 

"Love you too." Hermione said softly. "Hey," she stood up straight, her arms still around Draco's neck. "wouldn't it be cool if Justin had a little brother or sister?" She asked. Draco shrugged. 

"He's got Teddy." Draco said, Hermione nodded. 

"And I know that he isn't actually our kid and it wouldn't actually be his brother or sister." Hermione said softly. Draco's brows furrowed. 

"So you wanna adopt another kid or something? Hermione, Voldemort can track anything down, adoption confirmations and stuff. And do you really want to deal with another kid right now?" Draco asked, she smiled and nodded. 

"I was a silly idea. You're right. Let's get breakfast." Hermione said, Draco nodded, but he could have swore her lip was quivering, and she looked down slightly at her stomach. 

"Maya made breakfast I think." Draco said as they approached the kitchen, it had eight or nine stools too, to sit at a counter. Hermione stopped walking. 

"Umm, I just forgot, I have to go somewhere today, I know it's not safe to go out, but I really need to." Hermione said, Draco looked at her questioningly for a moment, but nodded. 

"Do what you have to do, but come home safe." Draco said, he kissed her forehead again and walked to the kitchen, Maya was behind the counter, making pancakes, the twins, Jack, Makayla, and Solomon were sitting at the stools. 

"Pansy's in bed." Solomon said when he noticed Draco going over who was missing. Draco nodded and sat down next to Solomon. The platinum blonde had cut his hair short again so it went back to spiking up. Draco had let his hair grow out more then he usually did. No matter, he silently twisted his wrist under the counter and his hair cut itself magically. Hand magic was a blessing and a curse. 

Maya put a plate in front of each of the boys and then sat down next to Draco, she wolfed down her pancake.  

"Instead of making Hermione get a job, you should take her somewhere. Me, Makayla, Fred and George are going to a fair tomorrow, you and Hermione should come." Maya invited. Draco didnt respond.  

"Ok." He said after a long silence.
