A/N: Thank you so much guys for 3k+ views! It means a lot. Hope you all liked the last chapter, and that it wasn't boring or escalated too quickly. I know there were a lot of time jumps, but that's because this story is coming to an end. This isn't the last chapter, though. Read the A/N at the end to find out when the next chapter will be out. On with the chapter! 

Few years later

"Lucius, if you take one more minute, I swear it won't be good for you." Narcissa told her husband.

"I am just styling my hair, dear Cissa." Lucius told her, standing in front of the mirror. 

"You said the same thing an hour ago. It is just a brunch, Lucius, you are not meeting a celebrity or something." She sighed. 

After waiting for another three minutes, she exited the room.

Meanwhile

"Draco, if you take one more minute, I will turn you into a ferret!" Hermione threatened her husband.

"Just a minute, Mia. You know I have to style my hair perfectly." Draco said, running his fingers through his hair while standing in front of the mirror. 

"Honestly, Draco, it's just a brunch, you're not meeting someone famous." She told him.

"You're the most famous person after me, Mia. I need to style nicely." He told her. 

Hermione rolled her eyes and left the room. 

As she was going to the kids'rooms, she saw Narcissa walking towards her. 

"Narcissa? What are you doing here?" She asked her mother-in-law. 

"Lucius was taking way long to style his hair, I couldn't stand it anymore, so here I am." She told her. "Why are you not in your room?" Narcissa asked her. 

"Same problem. Draco has been styling his hair since past two and a half hours, and he is still not done with it." Hermione told her. 

"He inherited that from his father. Would you believe me if I told you that he reached a few minutes late to the venue for our wedding because he wanted to get ready in his home, and he spent most of the time trying to make his hair 'perfect'?" Narcissa said while rolling her eyes.

Hermione started laughing, and soon Narcissa joined her. After a few minutes, Hermione managed to control herself and said, "Well, it is a good thing then that Draco wasn't late to the wedding."

"That's because he woke up at five o'clock in the morning that day, arrived at the venue at seven o'clock, and spent the next two and a half hours getting ready, and the next three hours to make his hair perfect." Narcissa told her. 

"I think we deal the same situation every day." Hermione said to her. 

"So, I saw the photo of you two sitting at the new restaurant day before yesterday." Narcissa said. 

"How did you get it?" Hermione asked her. 

"Well, yesterday was the last day of Hogwarts for the kids. And apparently, Scorpius and Lyra wanted to go to Hogsmeade early morning. Minnie didn't allow them, and they gave her the photo of you two sitting at that restaurant to let them go, they even promised to tell her about your every date, or just simple hangouts, and she agreed to let them go." Narcissa said.

"And how did they know where we both went?" Hermione asked, narrowing her eyes at Narcissa.

"I may or may not have told them about it just as you two left the Manor." Narcissa sheepishly said.

"Why would you do that?" She asked her.

"They were requesting me to tell something about you two that they could tell to Minnie so that she would allow them to go to Hogsmeade. And you know I cannot say no to them." Narcissa said. 

"But how did they get the photo?" Hermione asked.

"They threatened the owner that they would write a bad review about their restaurant, and send it to the Daily Prophet if they didn't click a picture of you two, and send it to them immediately." Narcissa said.

"I don't know how McGonagall manages to handle these two." Hermione sighed.

Narcissa nodded as Hermione suddenly exclaimed, "Oh Merlin! I was supposed to check on the kids." 

Narcissa chuckled and said, "Time really flies when we talk. Remember the last time you came to the Manor for tea, and you ended up having dinner here as well?" 

Hermione nodded as they opened the door to the kids' room. "But I can't say that I didn't enjoy. We should do another one really soon, and probably call McGonagall as well. She would like it." She said.

"Yes, definitely. She is going to miss the brunch today because she is busy doing some Hogwarts duties, but she won't miss our tea ever." Narcissa said.

As they entered the kids' play room, they met a sight which was too familiar to them.

Andrew, as usual, was sitting on the couch, reading his favorite book. 

Elara was sitting next to him, completing her assignments. 

As for the other three, they were running around the room, playing some sort of game which Hermione never ubderstood. 

"Cressida Raelie Malfoy! Why aren't you dressed yet?" Hermione asked as she stood in front of her three troublesome kids.

"We were playing a game." Her youngest child answered. 

"But Scorp and Lyra are dressed, aren't they?" Hermione said. 

"So it's their fault then. They are dressed, and they are running around throwing flour at each other, ruining their dresses. Whereas I am not dressed, and so, the dress I have to wear for the brunch won't get ruined." The eleven year old explained. 

"I swear, with your brains and Draco's mischievousness, she is something else..." Narcissa told Hermione. 

 At this point, the Malfoy men entered the room to see flour everywhere, on the floor, on the shelves and on the toys. 

"How did you even get the flour? I don't think you went to the kitchen." Hermione asked them. 

"It's a wonder what a spell as simple as Accio can do." Scorpius smirked at her. 

Hermione rolled her eyes at them, and started cleaning up the mess. As Narcissa took her wand out to help her, she said, "Oh no, Narcissa. You and Lucius should go down. Everyone should be arriving soon. I think you both should better make sure that they haven't ruined the living room as well." 

Narcissa nodded and said, "Okay. But, Hermione you better not scold these poor children." As she smiled at her grandchildren, the three came towards her and hugged her tightly. 

By the time they pulled away, Narcissa's gown was covered in flour. But she didn't seem to mind much, as usual. 

She would never get angry at them.

After she had cleaned her gown with her wand, Hermione said, "You both literally spoil them so much."

"Well, it's our duty to do so. And we won't stop even when they will grow up." Lucius said.

"Have you both decided on the cake for today yet?" Draco asked them.

"Yes. It's strawberry cake." Lucius said. 

"No! It's the chocolate cake." Narcissa said. 

"I said strawberry!" Lucius exclaimed. 

"Chocolate cake is final." Narcissa simply said.

"Oh come on, you chose the cake for their wedding." Lucius said. 

"You chose the cake for their first anniversary." Narcissa retorted. 

"I get confused sometimes. Are they the kids here, or them?" Draco asked his wife, pointing at his parents and the children respectively.

"I don't know. But, I know for sure that Narcissa is going to win this." Hermione said. 

"When does she not win?" Draco asked. 

And sure enough, Lucius surrendered and said, "Fine. You win. But, I will choose the cake for the next brunch." 

"We both know that's not going to happen." Narcissa smiled innocently, leaving the room with her husband.

"What are you doing, Andy and Elly?" He asked his twelve year old twins.

"I have already completed my assignments, so I am reading my favorite book. But, I should better say that I have finished reading this." Andy said, putting the book on the table.

"And, I already did my essays, but then I wasn't satisfied with what I have written, so I am re writing them." Elara said, continuing to write her essay. 

"I guess we didn't mess up with two kids." Draco sighed as he watched the other three resuming their game. 

The fourteen year old twins - Scorpius and Lyra, or as they liked to be called, Scorp and Lia, were much like Draco. Though they had inherited the brains of both of their parents, their habits were totally like Draco. Scorpius was the Slytherin Seeker just like his father had been.

Andy and Elly were totally like Hermione. They both loved reading like her, but Andy was a seeker like his father, and Elly was a chaser.

Their youngest child, Cressi was a perfect combination of both of them. 

"So, you've finally come to terms with the fact they both of them are in Gryffindor?" Hermione asked her husband.

"No, I am still in the process of that. By the time they finish Hogwarts, I will come to terms with that. I am just happy that none of them are in Hufflepuff." Draco said.

"Well, Andy could have been in that house, but the Hat decided to put him in Gryffindor. And, will you stop saying like that for Hufflepuff? It's a great house." Hermione said. 

"Whatever. To be honest, I was scared that Cressi might end up in Hufflepuff, but I guess I am okay that she's in Ravenclaw." He told his wife.

"Cressi? In Hufflepuff? Are you kidding me? There was no chance that she could have gone into that house." Hermione rolled her eyes at him.

"She could have been in Slytherin, though. Just like Scorp and Lia are." He said.

"Oh, that reminds me, SCORPIUS, LYRA, CRESSIDA, STOP THIS GAME RIGHT NOW!" Hermione shouted at them.

"If you three don't listen, you will be grounded for the rest of your winter holidays." Draco threatened them.

"DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY, IF YOU THREATENED YOUR KIDS ONE MORE TIME, YOU WILL BE GROUNDED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!" They heard Narcissa shout.

The three kids snickered, as Draco asked Hermione, "How did she even hear what I had said?"

Hermione shurgged in response. "You literally shouted at them and she said nothing. And, here I had simply said they will be grounded and she threatens me. This is so unfair!" He complained.

"You know that both of our parents love to spoil them. My parents have scolded me so many times because I scolded their grandchildren." Hermione said. 

"I guess it's fair then." He said and took out his wand. After cleaning the twins' dresses, he said, "You three better behave now."

They nodded, and Cressi left the room to go to her bedroom in the Manor to finally get dress. 

------------

"J! I have missed you so much." Lyra shouted as soon as James Potter entered the Manor.

Before Draco could stop her, Lyra got up from her place and hugged James tightly. The same happened as soon as Cressida saw Albus.

"Why do they have to do this every time?" Draco groaned.

And, as if to irritate him even more, Andy hugged Lily as she came towards him.

"Oh hush, Draco! They are just kids." Hermione said.

"Kids? Soon enough they would be dating each other." He muttered as the Potters walked towards them. Hermione hugged all of them, and Draco shook their hands.

"J! I have missed you so much." Scorpius mocked his sister as he came towards them.

"Shut up, Scorp. We all know how you will react when Savannah will come. You will start blushing as soon as the Notts come here." Lyra glared at him.

Ignoring her comment, Scorpius hugged James. "You better stay away from my sister." He said as he pulled away.

"Then tell your brother to stay away from my sister." James retorted.

Before they could say anything else, Hermione stood between them and said, "Why don't you both go and discuss the Quidditch matches with Lucius? You can tell him how many goals you scored, James."

They both scowled at each other, and then walked towards Narcissa and Lucius who were handling the other kids. 

"I can't believe how quickly their moods change. One minute they are hugging each other, and the next they are silently arguing." Ginny said.

"You might want to look at them now." Hermione said.

When Ginny looked there, she saw James' arm around Scorpius' shoulder, and he was laughing at something her son had said. 

Ginny sighed and said, "These children and their mood swings."

"When are the others arriving?" Harry asked them.

"The Zabinis should be here anytime now. Pansy and Theo will be here soon as well, but Ron and Esthenia will be a few minutes late. My parents won't be able to make it since they are currently in Australia." Hermione informed them.

As if on cue, Luna and Blaise entered the Manor with their kids. The couple made their way towards them, while their kids, Lucas and Leighton, went towards their friends.

As Lucas hugged Scorpius who was standing next to Elara, Draco saw his daughter blushing. 

"I need to ask her about this later." He told himself, averting his gaze from them.

A few minutes later, the Notts had arrived with their kids, Savannah and Samuel. After greeting the adults, the kids ran off to meet their best friends. 

"Hermione told me that you spent an hour on your hair, Draco. Then why does it still look like somebody messed it up?" Pansy asked him.

"It's called style, Pansy, style. It takes time for perfection." Draco stated. 

"Perfection, huh? You looked better in your ferret form, Draco." Ginny said, making everyone laugh and Draco groaned. 

------------

"So, Potter, tell me about your latest raid." Draco asked as the adults sat down in the couchs kept in the gardens. 

Draco had always liked hearing about their adventures. Being the boss of the Malfoy Industries, he didn't get to travel every day, but he still traveled more than his wife, the Minister of Magic did. 

As the men started the conversation about their works, the women started their own conversation. 

"Hey Draco, I heard Elara likes Lucas." Pansy said. 

He immediately stopped his conversation with the other men, and asked her, "How do you know?" 

"Well, Luna here apparently saw one of the letters that your daughter sent to Lucas. And, guess what, he likes her too." She told him.

"You better keep your son away from my daughter, Zabini. She is not allowed to have a crush until she's at least thirty years old." Draco told Blaise. 

"Draco, chill. Don't act like you didn't have a crush on Hermione from your first year. And, you still blush whenever she holds your hand, or hugs you." Theo said. 

"Oh yes. I remember him irritating us by talking about her all day. No offense to you, Hermione, but we can't just sit and listen to him rant about you all day. He even talked about you in his sleep." Blaise said.

"She is such a know-it-all, she has to raise her hand for every question. She's trying to outsmart me, but I guess it is working. But, she cannot defeat me in Quidditch, did you know that I saw her looking at me for a second during the match with Gryffindor? I mean she barely takes her eyes off the Gryffindor players, so if she looks at me, then that must mean she feels something for me. She's looking at me instead of focusing on the game, she definitely has a crush on me. I knew I am good looking." Blaise said in a high pitched voice. 

"Why did Krum ask her to the Ball? I mean, I know she looks so pretty, but he could have asked someone else. Not that I wanted to take her to the Yule Ball. But, it couldn't have been that bad. I mean, she is not annoying, and she is really beautiful, she dances so nicely. And, she refused to tell the third Unforgivable, she is so thoughtful. And..." Theo repeated Blaise's actions.

"Alright! Alright! They get it. And stop exaggerating, I didn't talk about her that much." Draco exclaimed. 

"Oh really? She's so intelligent, and she loves reading like me. I saw her at the library today-" Blaise started but was cut off by Draco.

"I said stop it!" Draco blushed. 

"The way he talked about you, one would think he already loved you at that point. But he kept denying it until the Halloween Ball in our last year." Theo said. 

"That's so sweet, Dray!" They heard someone say. 

Draco turned around to see his mother standing there, grinning at him.

"Mother! You won't tell McGonagall about this. She was literally teasing me the last time you met her, you didn't have to tell her that I tried baking a cake for Hermione and failed miserably in that." Draco said. 

"I won't tell her." Narcissa smirked and winked at him. 

But he knew that the exact opposite would happen.

"Anyways, I just wanted to tell you all that I just heard James asking Lyra to be his girlfriend, and she said yes!" Narcissa grinned.

As everyone else grinned as well, Draco stood up. "They are so cute! But don't worry, you and Hermione are my favorite, Draco." Narcissa told him.

He ignored her reply, and instead ran back inside the Manor, shouting, "POTTER! I WILL KILL YOU!" 

"Probably the first time he is not threatening me when he says Potter." Harry said.

"I can't wait for their wedding!" Hermione, Ginny and Narcissa exclaimed while Harry shook his head.
