POV: Hermione.

We had a wonderful Malfoy Family Christmas. Having the girls home from Hogwarts always fulfilled my longing missing void for them...

Draco's parents and grandmother joined us in our annual Christmas gatherings. As well as Sekhmet, making her surprise appearances per usual... Also accompanying her, was her longtime boyfriend the famous Muggle actor, Alan Rickman. I still swore he looked familiar to me. I thought he favored Professor Snape, Draco thought I had gone round the bend...

We decided on an intimate New Year's Eve gathering with our children, their significant others, Luna and Neville, and of course our extended Malfoy family, at the Manor.

Lucius, Narcissa, and Grandmother Malfoy, were still staying with us during our holidays. And resided with us until the girls returned to back to Hogwarts.

I catered our evening feast with the infamous Malfoy chefs, we used for every special occasion. And decorated the manor with beautiful festive Christmas Yuletide with mixtures of hints of celebrating the new year.

I was running late, quickly finishing my look of glittering gold fun attire. I wore my hair in long waves, painted my evening makeup eyes with beautiful shades of pearl, golds, and black, completing with brushing my lips with luminous shimmering gloss. I sat up from my vanity, taking a fast peak in my mirror at my outfit, grazing Draco and I's floor length mirror.

Hermione's ensemble!! 😍💛😍💛

"Whhheeeett whhhooo..."

I heard the loving devotion of exclamations from my delicious Draco, whistling from behind me.

I turned around seeing him in his infamous black suit, fixing the sleeves of his white authentic steamed dress shirt. Never taking his eyes off of me and swaggering towards me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, standing behind me, kissing my neck, and alluringly moaning.

"Do we have to go downstairs? Can't we stay here all night..." Draco drawled in his tempting seductive voice, that always got me into trouble...

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy..." I instructed him in flirtatious tones. Feeling him caressing my entire body, with his masculine hands sending electric sparks of love tingling all over my body.... I pivoted around to face him, snaking my arms around his neck and began a feverish intense snogging session. Swirling our minty gluttony passions into lastingly ceaseless matrimonies.

I then heard the absolutely fabulous and boisterous Grandmother Malfoy, yelling from the hallway... hearing her expensive Jimmy Choo's snapping and clacking down our hard wood floor.

"HERMIONE! DARLING! WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF CHAMP'S!" Nefertiti informed me in her glamorous word style of not having enough champagne.

"See, we're needed." I whispered to my husband.

"Alright, but later tonight... you're all mine..." Draco sexually amused stimulating all of my senses for eternity...

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

We welcomed our invited guests of the Longbottom's, inside of our loving home. Although... Professor James McAvoy, Luxia's boyfriend hadn't arrived yet, strangely enough?

Draco and I reintroduced The Longbottom's to Lucius, Narcissa, and Nefertiti. I could tell they were nervous, meeting our extended Malfoy family. Remembering our pasts... I could completely sympathize. And tried to make them feel as welcomed as possible.

"We are honored to meet with you again, Professor Longbottom and Luna. As well as your son, Jagger. We know that you will be a perfect fit to our little family." Narcissa spoke smiling with pride. She could always be counted on. I truly had the best mother in law in history. She was and had always been there for me. Even before Draco and I were married. I'll never forget that...

Suddenly our beautiful girls, Luxia and Phoenix, all grown up, dressed in beautiful New Year's Eve dresses of red and black, arrived walking down our spiral staircase. Not wanting to disapparate, unless it deemed necessary... because they both said it gave them the befuddled dizzies, and messed up their hair... I always laughed at their adorable hints of vanity. Undoubtedly, getting those attributes from the Malfoy side.

Jagger met Phoenix halfway greeting her with an appropriate kiss in front of her family and his family. She was completely oblivious at the night ahead. In what Jagger had planned for their future.

We sat down to enjoy our exquisite meal in the dining room, of english delights and delicacy's. Professor McAvoy was still no where to be seen?

In fact, he was thirty minutes late...

"Lux, sweetheart where is James?" I questioned her.

"He's not coming. I disinvited him..." Luxia responded in her Slytherin attitude, reminding me of her father. Taking a forceful bite of her roasted chicken scrapping her fork with her teeth.

"What do you mean? Did you have a row?"

"Yes. And I don't want to discuss it right now, mummy..." Luxia speedily requested.

And in that same destined moment... We heard our magical musical doorbell chiming.

Luxia panicked, knowing who we all knew, who was at our double door doorstep.

Draco began to wipe his mouth with his forest green napkin, scooting his chair out to address the door.

"Don't answer it Daddy, please! I know it's him!" Luxia begged her all giving father.

He always gave into our girls...

Draco shrugged, agreeing with our daughter's wishes, and went back to his meal.

"Draco! Get the door!" I ordered my husband, as he rolled his eyes obeying me standing and kissing my lips.

Draco came back with James, welcoming him to our table. Lucius, Narcissa, and Nefertiti greeted him as well, as he was a close family friend.

Luxia wouldn't even look at James... continuing to focus on her plate of food.

"Well, it seems a little icy over there by your girlfriend. Maybe you should sit over here, James." Draco teased him, with his alluring smirk.

"Thank you, sir. But I would love to sit next to your daughter, if you don't mind."

Draco laughed. "Sure, it's your funeral! Be sure and hide the knives by Luxia!"

We all had a chuckle. All except Luxia, of course.

He sat next to Luxia without a flinch of acknowledgement from her.

"What on earth happened between them?" I thought to myself.

We finished our beautiful meal. And our helpful hired wizards, cleaned our dishes while we adjourned into our outdoor arena to fulfill Jagger's wishes in asking our daughter to marry him.

Luxia avoided and ignored every gesture of James. It broke my heart for him. Luxia was very stubborn like me and her father. So unfortunately for James, he was out of luck on those characteristics she lovingly received from us.

Draco raised his wand in the sky, setting off the fireworks spell. "PERICULUM!" He announced with a bright red jolt of his charms escaping his wand, releasing his wizarding talents.

We all enjoyed the show. Especially Draco, wanting to snog me exactly as we always did. Setting off two different rounds of fireworks outside of Malfoy Manor.

The finale blasted away into our midnight new year. It was extremely symbolic of what the new year was going to be bringing us.

We stopped kissing, to witness Jagger bending down on one knee before our Phoenix. I lost all emotions realizing my daughter was going to leave us and become a married woman.

Phoenix cried, covering her mouth with surprised happiness. Shaking her head yes. Jagger lifted her up around her waist and circled her in the air. Setting her back down, to finally placing her engagement ring on her left fourth finger.

"Well, its official. We're going to be family with the Longbottom's..." Draco joked as I tried hush him, smiling.

"Can Jagger take the Malfoy name instead?" He continued his inquisitive arrogant banter with that devilish cunning grin...

"Draco!"

I scolded my husband. He laughed teasing me again, hugging my body close to his and sealing our devotion with a kiss. Luna and Neville now joined us with Jagger and Phoenix, making their way towards us to show off her ring.

It was beautiful. Completely elegantly radiant. Just as our Phoenix.

Phoenix's engagement ring! 😘💍 this is mine actually!! 😂🙌🏻❤️😘 as requested by the fabulous MsDerpFace to see my what my ring looked like! ☺️😘

"Oh, darling!! It's stunning! We are so happy for you!" I cried and held my daughter, remembering all of the memories of her life, playing in my head up to this moment...

"I'm going to be an amazing mother in law! I'll tell you all about how to keep the Nargles out of your home!" Luna giggled, hugging her.

Draco took Jagger's hand to shake to congratulate him. "I'm going to be a terrifying father in law..." Draco lingeringly mocked, winking at him in his sarcastic demeanor.

It seemed only yesterday, Luna and I were both pregnant with our children. Discovering I was carrying our girls in her bathroom... a pain of knowing how time flies, coursed through my veins. Now here we stood, standing in front our children who were now engaged to be married.

Luxia and James were uncomfortably standing far away from each other. Luxia came up to congratulate her twin sister happily. And her future brother in law.

We left the kids outside to relish in their engagement alone.

We drank fire whiskey and champagne in the lounge, having our own private celebration inside.

Suddenly, we heard Luxia and James loudly arguing in the foyer.

"I'M NOT DISCUSSING THIS ANYMORE JAMES! LEAVE, IF YOU CAN NOT RESPECT MY WISHES, THEN IT'S OVER!!" Luxia hollered her demands at her boyfriend.

"PLEASE! Don't do this Luxia! I love you... all I want is to be with you!" James pleaded through his sobs, breaking my heart. But I knew I couldn't interfere in our daughter's relationship. This was her choice.

"Let me be James! I love you... I just need time! You don't understand what I've been through!"

"Of course I do! When are you going to stop punishing me for James Sirius Potter's mistakes! I'm not him! I'm not that wizard! If you can't see that than why am I here?!?! It's because I love you!" James declared his everything to Luxia. Draco stood up, I took hold of his arm. "No baby... it will only make it worse."

Suddenly, we heard the loud cracking of James disapparating. I heard Luxia crying coming into our lounge sitting next to me hugging me. She then asked me to follow her into the hallway to talk alone.

"What happened sweetheart?"

"He... he, James asked me to marry him at school last week, mum. I am just honestly scared. I don't want to get married again, for fear of my past relationship. I know how wonderful he is. I don't want to loose him. I do love him..." Luxia wallowed gutting my heart. You always want to help solve all of your children's problems. Except, there comes a time where you have to let them go. Only guiding them in wisdom to carry on throughout their lives.

"If James truly loves you, he'll wait for you, my darling. You have to tell him these pressures are going to push you away... be honest with him. He will understand, Lux."

She cried into my arms. I held her up, stroking her long beautiful blonde hair.

"I understand what your going through, darling. Everything will work out, I promise you. Follow your heart my love. And it will all come into place. Your father waited for me. And you see where we are today?"

Luxia lifted up sniffing through her smile and hugged me heading to bed.

The Longbottom's left and we all retired to our beds for the night.

Draco eagerly waiting for me, naked in our bedroom.

I took off my party jumpsuit giving Draco a sultry show. And climbed my naked ready body to him, to first enjoy some pillow talk... and explain why Luxia was so upset.

"What are we going to do to help Luxia, baby?" Draco asked stroking my hair laying on top of me kissing my pleasure points of love.

"All we can do is be there for her, Draco. We can not showcase our feelings. She has to make her own decisions on love." I answered him with my toes curling...

He shifted up towards my ear to whisper.

"But she has to stay with James, they make the best for each other." Returning his kisses on my neck.

"I agree. She's scarred from that Potter. But in the end I do believe she will make the right choice."

"If she's anything like her mum she will." Draco sweetly told me, traveling his hands all over my wanton body.

Turning into a infamous round in our lustrous sexcapades.

We wanted the best for our girls. They were becoming independent adult witches, about to graduate from Hogwarts, to join us in the real world. Soon they would be on their journeys of life. We would always be there for them. But in the end, they would have to make their own fates... trusting that we raised them right. As to which, I know Draco and I succeeded.

Phoenix and Jagger are engaged!! Stay tuned For more!! 😘😘
