"Sometimes when I look at you, I wonder how I got to be so damn lucky."

Blaise appeared in the ministry, brief case in hand, and hurried towards a large group of Aurors, who where chatting seriously, their faces full of grief.

"What Happened?"Asked Blaise, bring the attention of almost of all of them.

"Well, Oliver...-"

"What about Oliver? He's ok, I told him to leave yesterday anyway , so-"

"Well He did, But when you where distracted, he went after the death eater, and.. he's gone Sir,"Called a young woman in her twenties.

Blaise scowled, feeling uncomfortable and stalked away, down the hall way, hiding his face from the members of the ministry who gazed at him in disbelief, and walked into his office, slamming the door harshly behind him.

"That's five people dead.. because they didn't follow THE DAMN RULES!"he bellowed, punching the wall over and over and over again, his knuckles turned red and discoloured, bruises where appearing, quite quickly.

Hermione smiled at Draco as he cooed in baby talk to Jaqueline, he raised her in his arms and lay down, they both began to laugh and giggle.
(Wow can't imagine Draco giggling but whatever)
Hermione chuckled, as Draco placed his head in her lap, and Hermione ran her fingers through his hair, soothingly.

After a while, they went down the stairs, and prepared lunch, Scorpius had been watching tv the whole time, slumped in the couch.
Hermione greeted him when they reached the bottom step and walked over to the back of the couch, leaning over, and gently massaging his scalp , making him shiver with satisfaction and joy as she tended out his stressed head with her magical fingers, and kissed the top of his head, before going towards the kitchen with Draco on her tail.

He sat down at the table, gazing as she pulled out two slices of tiger bread and some butter, before Blaise trudged in again, his face solemn with grief and remorse.

They three looked over at him in shock, and brought him over as Hermione made him a cup of tea.

"What happened?"

"There was this guy, Oliver Shannon, muggle born, he would bounce into my office everyday and tell me about his night.. I never listened and always told him to leave.. we were on a mission, it was bad, we were surrounded, I told him to leave and go back to the ministry to get help, he left, but went the other direction.. they where fighting me, but when my back was turned, he got.."Blaise paused, taking in a deep breath.

"He was announced dead today.. I told him to go! I instructed him to go away and.. he never listened, stubborn idiot got himself murdered!"Blaise sobbed.

Hermione rushed over with his tea, placing it in Draco's hands, and bringing Blaise up the stairs, slowly and carefully into his room, closing the door and sending a patronus to Pansy.

Sooner or later, Pansy apperated in the house, and rushed up the stairs, without a second thought, towards Blaise's room.

They others hadn't heard anything for a long while, they had just finished dinner, and where huddled on the couch, watching the television.
Draco and Hermione where cuddled up together, Jaqueline was laying in Draco's lap, and lying on Hermione was Scorpius.
They heard footsteps click down the steps, and turned.

Blaise and Pansy where standing in the last step, hand in hand and made their way towards the small group.
"We've done some thinking.. and I'm going to need a replacement for Oliver.."

Hermione shot her hand through the air, eagerly as The last word even came from Blaise's lips.

"Hermione you can't be Sirius?!" Gasped Draco, eyes wide in horror as his love was about to do a very deadly thing.
(Sorry, I had to, it was written in the stars!💆)

"Well I want to! I quit that bloody book company, which mind you was getting boring, same old customer blah blah blah, I want to do this! It'll be just like when me Harry and Ron where out looking For horcruxes!"

Draco scoffed and stood up, outraged by such an offer and turned his death glare towards Blaise who had come up with the stupid plan.
"You're going to get her killed!"He Yelled,
Hermione held Scorpius and Jaqueline close, hushing them by his tone of voice.

Draco scowled, and grasped Hermione's arm, pulling her away and opened the front door.
"We need to have a chat!"

They went outside and Draco let go of Hermione, slamming the door.
"What do you think you're doing?!"

"I need this job Draco! It's a wonderful opportunity-"

"Wonderful my Arse!"he bellowed at her, jaw clenched.
"You're gonna get yourself Murdered like that bloody mud-"

Hermione slapped him right across the face, sadness and a hint of anger in her eyes, as well as tears. "Don't. You. Ever."she whispered.

Draco calmed himself down and looked her in the face,taking his hands within hers.
"I'm sorry,"he began, his voice Horace.
"I don't want to see your body lying in a fucking coffin before I even got to a sodding engagement ring on your finger".

Hermione looked down, Draco placed his forefinger under her chin and made her gaze back up to him.
"You have to promise me.."he started.

"I promise,"

Hermione found Blaise and Pansy cuddling in his room, laughing together about something, She knocked at his open door, bringing their attention to her.

"What's the verdict?"Asked Blaise.

"I'm taking the job, but after Christmas,"she smiled, as both of their faces lit up and Blaise fist bumped the air.

"I'll see you later,"Hermione laughed, closing the door to leave them in peace and Found Draco standing, his sleeves rolled up on the top step, gazing at her lovingly.

"Scorpius is in bed, So is Jaqueline.."he whispered, his eyes searching her body.
Hermione grinned, jumping into his arms, and let him carry her to the bedroom, and have a little peace of their own😉.
