Ruined (Dramione)

XIII - After All These Years

We are still walking and I noticed that we are approaching the school grounds. And it's damn dark.

"Mum it's dark." Scorpius told me so I lifted him.

"Shh." I whispered to him and reached for my wand.

Before I could speak for a spell, a jet of red light flashed across the sky. So I looked around to see who cast it but I've seen nothing. I gripped my wand tight on my left hand and Scorpius on the other.

"Lumos." I walked slowly while Scorp hid his face on my neck.

Another jet of red light appeared in the sky so I looked around but I see no one.

"Who's there?" I shouted but no one answered.

"Expecto Patronum!" I heard someone cast a patronus and I saw a silver otter jumping ad running towards us.

Someone's patronus and mine's the same. Ginny's patronus is a stallion; Harry's patronus is a stag. While Pansy's patronus is a serpent; Blaise's is a tiger. Luna's patronus is a hare and Neville's patronus is a lion.

So who owns this one?

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

Scorpius is fascinated with the silver otter in front of him. He tried to touch it but then the otter disappeared.

"Mummy this is wonderful!" he exclaimed.

I still looked around looking for the owner of the patronus but no one seemed to be there.

"Hermione?" I heard Draco's voice calling me.

"Mummy its daddy!" Scorpius pointed at the man who's now walking towards us.

"Come here buddy." He said so Scorpius squirmed and ran to his father.

As Draco came nearer, the lights were starting to go back. And I saw everyone, including the reporters in the grounds formed a circle where me, Draco and Scorpius is in the middle.

"Is the patronus yours?" I asked him and he smiled at him.

"Yes, it's mine I think you clearly know what that means right?"

"I don't." I said, blushing.

"Yes, you do Hon."

I was surprised when he kneeled in front of me and held a ring made of rubies and emerald green stones crusted on it. Gryffindor and Slytherin colors.

"Hermione, after all these years, you remained in my heart. I insulted you, I ruined you, I made your life miserable. But I love you. I loved you since the day in Flourish and Blott's. I love you for who you are the insufferable, bushy-haired know-it-all. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and Scorpius. So will you marry me?"

Tears were running down in my face and Draco wiped it.

"Yes, I will." I said and everyone cheered.

Draco stood up and put the ring on my ring finger.

"I had that ring made just for you." he whispered to me before kissing me and covering Scorpius's eyes.

"Expecto Patronum!" then everyone from the circle cast their patronuses. And in a few moments, the castle grounds were filled by silver animals. Ginny's stallion and Harry's stag were chasing each other. Luna's hare is jumping around while it has been followed by Neville's lion. While Blaise's tiger is playing with Pansy's serpent.

The kids of course were so happy, seeing a lot of patronuses in one place. Scorpius and Asha and James held hands as they play with the patronuses.

"Expecto Patronum." I cast mine so a silver otter appeared.

"Malfoy-Granger Wedding: The grandest wedding in the Wizarding World." Ginny's eyes twinkled read the headline from The Daily Prophet today.

"Malfoy-Granger: The Most Splendid Muggle-Born and Pureblood Nuptial in the Whole Wizarding World." Pansy snorted as she read the front of Witch Weekly's.

"Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy: Tied At Last." Luna's became dreamier as she read the headline of her own magazine, The Quibbler.

Seriously it's been a month since Draco and I got married but the headlines don't change.

I admit our wedding is quite a big event in the Wizarding World because Narcissa insisted that she wanted a grand wedding for his only son. So technically, I cannot oppose that. I let her plan for the wedding and it ended up, according to the news, the grandest wedding in the wizarding world.

Ginny is my maid-of-honor while Pansy and Luna were the bridesmaids. Blaise was Draco's best man while Harry and Neville were the groomsmen.

I wore a dress designed by Draco's old friend, Astoria Nott nee Greengrass. Even though I don't like her. And Draco and Scorpius wear identical suits. They were so dashing that day.

Narcissa is crying while I'm walking down the aisle with my parents.

But the beetle, Rita Skeeter was not pleased about it. She made many articles mainly entitled 'The War Heroine married an Ex-Death Eater' and 'A Pureblood married a Mudblood'. Unfortunately, none of those articles were released because she was sued by Mrs. Weasley and Narcissa.

"Guys, stop reading those. It's been a month." I told them.

"Well, these people can't really forget your wedding." Ginny just said.

"It cost millions of galleons, Mrs. Malfoy, remember." Pansy said while reading Witch Weekly's.

"I can still remember how Draco cried when he thought you ran away because you were 30 minutes late." Luna said.

"Well, people, we're here to have fun and not to discuss my wedding, remember?" I told them so they instantly close the periodicals they're holding.

"Anyway Luna, did Neville already knew that you're pregnant?" we asked Luna.

"Not yet. You know, he's quite busy right now at the Ministry." She told us. Well Luna is 2 months pregnant after Neville and she got married a month before our wedding.

Well, my original plan is to visit Pansy because she's just a month away from giving birth to another Zabini but these two (Ginny and Luna) popped out of thin air in front of the Malfoy Manor [where we are currently living with Narcissa] so I've decided to visit Pansy with them.

"Well Pansy, have you got any name for your baby?" Ginny asked.

"Well, I like Chase but Blaise likes Carlisle so I think I'll just trick him." Pansy said.

"Well, Carlisle is better." Luna said.

"Why don't you just use both? Chase Carlisle Zabini is fine, I guess?" I suggested.

"You really are the brightest witch in our age Hermione Malfoy!" Pansy shrieked.
