London,5 years after the 2nd wizarding war,Westfield London Shopping Centre
Draco’s P.O.V

I never thought i would be in this world for any other reason besides business but clearly I was wrong, while taking a cab over to the shopping centre i noticed two familiar faces.It was hard not to stare continuously from recognition. “Hermione?” I whispered as she turned around to reveal
her silky brown hair and bronze-like eye. “Stop the cab!!” I yelled in a rushed tone as i paid the man and grabbed my suitcases, running out the cab door through the middle of the street to the sidewalk.
“Hermione!” I shouted as i dropped my suitcase and ran in for a hug. Thinking she was alone i kissed her two times on each cheek from excitement. She tapped my back lightly as we released the hug “Hey..are you okay?” I asked her.
“You can’t be here.” Hermione whispered.
“What’s wrong? Why can’t I be here?” I asked, concern creeping into my voice.Her smile wasn’t as bright from i last remember.
I heard bells ring from the toy shoppe screaming out “It’s too late Draco! Go away Malfoy!”
Out of the shoppe doors came Ronald weasley with two stuffed toys and a couple books about numbers and letters;
“Hermione look what i found for the children!” Ron excitedly told Hermione.
“Oh goodie, Ron Weasley.” I said with an expression of jealousy on my face and a hint of sarcasm.
“What are you doing here?” Ron asked, standing in front of with a suspicious glance my way. “What were you talking about with Hermione?” He snapped.
“Ron, it was nothing. We were just reminiscing the time I punched him in the face.” She explained in a calming matter.
“Ooh? Exactly,Weasley,I spat. Don’t get your panties in a twist!” I smirked as i looked at him getting flustered.
“Same old Malfoy.” Ron mumbled.
“Well, if we’re done shopping then let’s head home. Alright Ron?” Hermione Suggested.
“Wait,I’m actually here on business so Hermione, if you would like to catch up..you don’t have to but I would love it if you did agree.” I asked.
“Hold it right there. She’s not going anywhere with you.Ron said heatedly. She’s my wife, NOT yours so if I say she’s not going then Bloody hell she’s not going!” he said raising his voice.
“Ouuch. Harsh. Treat me like i have no soul why don’t ya.” I mumbled
While Ron was having his little temper tantrum I could have sworn i seen hermione slip a piece of parchment with an address reading the words “I’ll gladly meet you at 7, the starbucks on graylin avenue”.
About a couple hours later in my hotel room i searched up Starbucks Online to only find out it’s some coffee joint. Even after 2 years of working on the job with muggles and other wizards I still don’t understand their lingo. I mean, what kind of barbarian has papers that don’t move? That’s just wasted resources if you ask me.
The time ticked away slowly as if the world has stopped and forgotten it had a job to do.I paved around my strange Muggle hotel room. It had a rather uncomfy sofa, a tiny kitchenette, and one of those televisors or whatever they were called. It wasn’t important. All that mattered now was Hermione.I kept thinking about it, what had happened between us when during our 4th through 7th years. I know we both were going through a lot, but there were just a few folds in our relationship i couldn’t smooth out
It was our fourth year and we just started going out around Christmas time. I remember seeing her upset on the staircase after what had happened in the main room. Her tears revealed loneliness and little bits of heartbreak,but they also let some of her relief and joy shine through; of freedom from that tall buff, cocky jerk Viktor Krum. He thinks just because he won the game in the Quidditch World Cup he could get any girl he wants and use them. They were disposable
I walked towards her quietly and sat down wrapping my arms around her.It was hard not to show our feelings out there in front of everyone, but it just felt as if we were the only ones in the room.
“M-Malfoy?” She said very weakly as she wiped her tears, “What are you doing here?” She asked, calmer and confused.
“Protecting you. Claiming you as my own.” I responded.
“B-But why?” She sniffed.
especially because you’re the brightest and most beautiful witch of our age.” I said. I finished hugging her and stood up,bowing and holding out my right hand. “Miss Granger, would you care to dance?” I asked in a calm,firm tone.
Nodding shyly she took my hand and we danced the night away. Most girls would call that a fairy tale ending, but for me,it was more than that.
Sadly,that was our last good memory from then on,About six months in our relationship we would sneak around past curfew and meetup; it was rare we got caught together but that night of our six month anniversary felt too empty we ended up caught in the end,but who’s fault was it really?
Hermione and i clicked our glasses together,a spark flew towards the glasses inside the drinks,i turned my head in the direction of the light.
“Is someone here?” Hermione whispered
“I don’t know. Stay here.” I whispered back
“No way! I’m coming with you!” She insisted.
“”Do you want to get caught?” I snapped quietly.
“No but you’re always the one going, i think its unfair after all i have more knowledge of spells and potions.” said hermione
She made a point,i let her go search if anyone was there i followed behind her in the dark moving lightly on my feet.
After a small while of lurking around in the dark.hermione informed me that no one was here or whoever they were left when we started coming out.
We resumed our romantic evening and had some butterbeer that i snuck in.

The day after
Hermione’s p.o.v.
It looked alot like betrayal to me,i walked in the hall with ron and harry smiling as if my life was the beautiful spring i remembered back home.We walked past draco and instantly my smile turned to tears. He was kissing pansy infront of me; I thought he wasn’t like Viktor at all,he lied. I left the conversation with harry and ron to go towards draco,the closer i got the more he didn’t notice me.
“You Cheating pig!” I yelled slapping him across his face,backed away and used Riddikulus on him. I ran away from there leaving draco as ridiculed as i was.
I could hear footsteps following me,i ran towards the girls bathroom on the fourth floor the staircase moved the opposite direction as i sat on the third staircase breaking down in tears.
“I didn’t che-What the bloody hell are you doing kissing that weasely kid?!” Draco scolded.
“What?” I wiped a couple tears away. I wasn’t kissing anyone i was crying.
I stood up and walked towards him again
“I’m not kissing anyone! I’m freaking crying! How dare you accuse me of that when you’re the one who lied and cheated on me with pansy!” I snapped,wiping away any tears that came.

Draco’s P.o.v.

“I didn’t cheat on you,hermione.” i tried to explain in a calm matter.
“I don’t believe you,save your excuses. We’re through!” She snapped with tears rolling down her cheeks the stairs rotated back our way. Hermione ran up towards her destination.
How could we both see each other cheating? i thought
I waited the next few days but it was clear she wouldn’t bother talking to me to bring it up, i ignored her up until the 5th year where i tried to get her attention but ended up getting punched in the face with no mercy. That year ended the same,as did the next two years even when i was a death eater.
All i wanted to do was grab her attention and talk to her in private but it was clear she didn’t want anything to do with me so when she agreed to meet me at the coffee place it surprised me greatly and also made my heart jump.
Maybe this time she would listen to me and hear what i have to say to move what happened in our teen years behind us.
I managed to find the coffee place thanks to the cab driver. I arrived ten minutes early and found a place to sit,i was on my mobile surfing the web waiting for her.
Hermione arrived moments later,ordered a mocha frappe and glanced at me with a smile
I turned off my mobile,smiled back and waved as she head towards me.
“Hi,are you okay? you looked upset earlier as if you were going to break down in tears.” I asked her quietly.
“Oh,honestly no,a few months after i married ron i heard him on talking on the mobile with harry…” She said.
“Okay,what about?” I asked.
“He sabotaged our relationship…so when i saw you i felt as if you already knew everything that had happened and why it had happened. Thats why i came tonight.” She explained.
“I did know something yes,but i didn’t know that weasely would sabotage our love.I’m actually glad you came tonight. I wanted to talk to you about something.” I admitted
“What is it? Also I’m sorry for ignoring you and ridiculing you.” Hermione said with sincerity.
“Before i throw this idea out there,i just wanted to tell you astoria left me a long time ago and even though when i was with her i continually thought about you and i,us and how our future would have been if what we had wasn’t broken.The Point is,I’m asking you for another chance without anyone who can sabotage our relationship.” I explained nervously.
“Of course i would.” She answered happily
“But what about the children?” She asked with worry in her voice.
“We’ll deal with that later.” I told her as i leaned in for a kiss.
Two bells dinged “Mocha Frappe for a Hermione Weasley?” The guy called out.
We stopped kissing for a moment.
“My name is no longer Hermione Weasley but instead a hopefully soon to be Mrs.Malfoy” She corrected him with a smile,the same smile we once had at the yule ball.
