POV: Hermione. The following morning...

I awoke early to seeing Draco already dressed in his best Slytherin black suit attire. Glaring out the window. Seeing the first snowfall of winter. He was rolling his Malfoy family crest sterling silver ring snug around his middle finger in a contemplative circle.

"Draco did you sleep at all, darling?" I questioned him sitting up in our bed.

He walked over towards me sitting on the bed to give me a good morning kiss replying, "A few hours, love." Meeting my gaze brushing his hand across my face. I took hold of his wrist and lifted his hand up to kiss the middle of his palm. He returned his hand to lovingly lay across my cheek once more.

"Will you please keep your composure today Draco? I know how upsetting this is, nevertheless we must try to stay calm." I pleaded with him knowing my husband better than anyone.

"Hermione, I can promise you I won't raise my wand unless means deem necessary. Agreed?" Draco earnestly glared at me waiting for my response. I was obviously just as upset about the circumstances with our daughter, however I held my demeanor better than Draco.

I smiled at him not giving him a yes or no answer worrying for the hours to come.

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

Draco and I decided to disapparate into Hogsmeade. Instead of using the vanishing cabinet to keep from looking to conspicuous keeping the attention off of us.

We checked into Madame Rosemerta's bed and breakfast, having stayed there many years before, for our class reunion and made our way to the castle.

Draco and I were hand in hand making our way to Professor McGongagall's office, right outside the entrance of the enormous gargoyle.

We saw Luxia and James hugging not being even slightly aware of us coming up to them.

Draco let go of my hand quickly grabbing James' Gryffindor robes by the collar, separating them by ferocious force and shoving him against the stone wall.

"Daddy please!" Luxia cried as I held her back. She clamored onto my shoulder. As we watched Draco threatening this teenage boy's life. I prayed to Merlin Harry wouldn't see this.

Draco was beyond ferocity. Blustering in a tone I'd only ever heard a few times from him, poking his finger into James' chest after every word. "You. Keep. Your. God. Damn. Hands. Off. Of. Our. Daughter... do you understand stand me, Potter?!" He finished his first threat. Then suddenly leaned into his James' ear making him jump. Draco whispered something else for us to not be able to hear, making James shake uncontrollably closing his eyes to keep from crying. He honestly looked as if he were about to lose control of his bodily functions, Draco was scaring him so badly. But then somewhere hidden beneath him he found the courage to defend himself to Draco.

"Mr. Malfoy, sir. Please, understand I never meant to cause trouble with Luxia or put her in harms way..." James was interrupted by Draco lifting him up with both hands and slamming him the against the wall again, now holding his throat with one hand and gripping his gold and scarlet tie about to choke James, with the other. Draco did However, keep his word to me not to draw his wand.

"Today's a day of reckoning with you Potter! You little piece of shit... if I ever hear of you even looking at her again... I will destroy you. You are not as innocent as you like to portray yourself to be!" Draco spat continuing. "And you can go ahead and tell your fucking daddy I told you this you little bugger."

Draco finally let go of James, causing him to immediately stumble walking away... gawking in fear of Draco. Draco met his gaze echoing aloud, "Quit eyeing me son or I'll really give you something to cry about, you fucking sleaze." Draco finished returning to my side as Luxia continued sobbing on my shoulder. Draco wouldn't even look at her.

Harry and Ginny made their way up the hallway fiercely. Harry's fatherly instincts took over in seeing his son's frightening appearance... as to which made him question Draco immediately.

"Malfoy! What did you say to my son?!" Harry yelled in anger as Ginny hugged her son.

"Nothing that you two should've been teaching your son in the first place, Potter! I told him to keep his dick away from my daughter! And keep it in his pants and focus on school instead of screwing our Luxia!!" Draco lewdly revealed and I frankly agreed with him becoming turned on at my husband's actions in this heated moment to be honest...

Harry and Draco were nose to nose as Professor McGonagall separated them making her way up to us. "Please! Control your emotions! This isn't about you two, Harry and Draco! It's about your children!" She screamed as they agreed to back down. Returning to their families.

We rode the moving spiral staircase to Headmistress McGonagall's office. Quickly taking our seats to being our meeting.

Professor McGonagall was noticeably displeased in everyone's actions with her scolding words and explanations of the events of our children's 'activities.'

"Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter, we are not here to settle old scores. We are here to come to an understanding in your children's behavior! Now let's start from the beginning..." Professor McGonagall began to inform us as I held the arms of my chair becoming furious at our daughter's behavior. I turned to look at her sitting between Draco and I as she wailed into her hands in shame. Draco's neck was red sitting up in his chair ready for the kill. He still wouldn't look at Luxia.

Harry was fuming as well. James was sunk in his chair looking up at Professor McGonagall. Ginny was crying uncontrollably at her son's behavior clutching her handkerchief to her mouth. I was beyond tears to busy in aggravation and disappointment in our daughter.

"They were caught in sexual manner of actions around our school and Hogsmeade as follows..." Professor McGonagall cleared her throat reading off the list of Professors who had caught them and the sights of the events.

"The Slytherin Common Room, Professor McAvoy found them. All of the girls lavatory's here at school. As to which many witnesses from these accounts we can concur. The library, discovered by Madame Pince. Professor Longbottom's classroom, discovered by Professor Longbottom. Concluding with Madame Puddifoot's Tea Shop' lavatories." She completed her list sighing in her disapproval, sitting in her chair glaring at Luxia and James.

"Luxia! WHAT do you have to say for yourself young lady?!" I screamed at her making her spring upwards in her chair.

"I'm terribly sorry for my actions with James. We were not thinking." Luxia bellowed wiping her tears. Draco interrupted her.

"James was using his head... just clearly not the right one." Draco ominously barked still putting all the blame onto James. Harry piped in through yelling.

"Excuse me, Malfoy, your daughter was a willing participant now wasn't she?! It's both of their faults!" Draco stood holding his wand ready to dual. Harry followed suit in Draco's sudden stance.

"Draco! Please!" I begged him to not do this. Draco responded to Harry, "You're lucky I love my wife and respect her wishes. Because you'd already be cursed on the floor." Draco's tone made me shiver. "Is that a threat Malfoy?" Harry questioned him. "Obviously you daft bloody..." "Draco!" I screamed his name again to bring him back to my reality. I watched them both return to their seats never leaving their hatred glares.

"Enough, do you hear me Harry and Draco?!" Professor McGonagall announced once again as they nodded in agreement at her.

"I have two consent forms stating that Luxia Dominique Malfoy and James Sirius Potter will for the remainder of their times here at Hogwarts... refrain from encounter with one another until James graduates. This is non negotiable or they will be expelled today." Professor McGonagall forcefully stated waving the two parchments up into the air with her wand. For both families to see.

Everyone voiced their agreements as Luxia and James both stood out of their chairs to sign the forms.

Luxia signed the paper with her quill still gasping through her tears. James took his quill and dipped the ink to make his mark to stay away from our daughter until he graduates.

"Thank you. Now this problem has been resolved hopefully and I can assume you will further discuss your child's actions in private." Professor McGonagall continued as we stood to shake her hand.

Draco took my hand to guide us out first. I grabbed Luxia to follow us. Harry, Ginny, and James stayed behind not wanting to run into us again. We refused to say goodbye to them, as it devastated me knowing what this strife has caused. I just hoped one day we could possibly fix this...

Luxia began to cry hugging me as we made our way outside the great hall. "Mum I'm terribly sorry. Will you ever forgive me? I'm sorry. I just..." She looked at me with my chocolate brown eyes red and watery from her tears, seeing a few drops had made their way onto her Slytherin vest. Her braided platinum long blonde hair was unraveling from her side ponytail. I knew what she was telling me. She was in love...

"Luxia, we love you. You are our daughter and we raised you to behave yourself accordingly. You are to keep your mind on your studies or you will reap the consequences if you do not obey. I am extremely disappointed in your actions." I started to cry as Draco wrapped his arm around my waist.

He began to address Luxia for the first time since we arrived. Draco started to cry as I lost it seeing him this way...

"You have broken my heart Luxia Dominique." Draco quivered his words as I wrapped my arm around his waist squeezing him.

"I'm so sorry Daddy." Luxia sobbed. Seeing her body literally hunching over in embarrassment.

Draco let go of me for a moment and took hold of Luxia's upper arms to speak to her more directly... "If you ever get involved with him again. I will never forgive you Luxia Dominique Malfoy." He warningly foretold her as she shook her head yes.

I wasn't shocked by Draco's words. But I knew this wasn't the end of this teenage affair. Draco knew what we had been through. But our situation was different. Draco protected me, our love was legendary. He just didn't want his daughter to end up with a boy who would get her into so much trouble. And frankly, I agreed.

"We'll see you in a few weeks for Christmas, Luxia." Draco dispiritedly told her. But he couldn't resist. He gave her a hug as Luxia blubbered into his shoulder becoming limp as Draco held her up. He kissed her cheek. "I love you, my darling. You just have to prove yourself to me and keep your honor held high, not disgracing your reputation." Draco told her as she nodded. "You are a Malfoy. We do have standards baby girl." He hugged her again comforting her. They let go of each other as I began to read Luxia's thoughts using my legilimency skills Draco and I practiced practically all night.

"I will be with James again one day..." she spoke as I left well alone.

We kissed our daughter goodbye as we saw Phoenix making her way to join us. Looking adorable in her Gryffindor robes, her wavy brown hair half up and half down. Bouncing in all directions. Is everything settled? Can Luxia stay?" She asked.

"Yes. And they promised to stay away from each other until school was over." I hugged and kissed her.

We said our goodbyes as a family of four. Draco and I began making our way out of the castle to return to our hotel room. I turned around to see Luxia still crying on Phoenix's shoulder as we left. I knew this wasn't over...

Stay tuned for the next chapter lovers!! 😘
