I relax in the deep tub sipping on my glass of wine as the words from the radio across the bathroom echo off the walls. "Congrats again to Y/n Cultven. She and Draco Malfoy have finally gotten married," The broad caster says, "no word on if she'll change her last name or not."

"Isn't she a little young?" Another broad caster says as they chuckle.

"They two went through a bloody war! No such thing as too young," The other board caster says as they move into another topic flooding the news as of late. Draco on the other side of the large tub stretches. I look over at him with a soft smile. He and I are married. Its such a good feeling to see all of the years we put into being with the other paying off in the end with us being together.

"Ginny's team won last night," Draco says, "its probably the only time the Harpies will get this far into the championships." I take a long sip from my wine glass then nod to him.

"It's all Ginny," I say to him, "she's so bloody talented." He and I have been enjoying the moments of our honeymoon. Every second together felt amazing. After such a high stress wedding the two of us really just deserve to relax. Like now how we sit together in the steaming bubble bath listening to the Bulgaria vs Scotland game. The two of us just enjoying each others presence.

"Scotland scores again!" The announcer yells as the station finally moves from all the announcements and such back to the game.

"Yes yes yes! Take that Theo!" I scream hoping up slightly from the bath. I settle back taking a large sip of my glass.

"Aren't we supposed to be cheering him on?" Draco asks. I look to him in utter disbelief.

"When pigs fly!" I exclaim.

"Love he is our friend," He tells me. I laugh at once. "He was at our wedding. He was one of my grooms men why aren't we cheering him on?"

"Yes he did attend the wedding," I say to Draco, "but if he wins I have to play him ad I don't need that in my life. I want to win championships. Besides I'm three plays away from a record!"

"But-"

"Bulgaria wins enough championships its someone else's turn," I say to Draco as he chuckles lightly.

"You mean its your turn?" He asks slightly amused. I look over my husband disappointed at the accusation.

"Maybe," I say smirking, "may the best team win remember?" He moves forward to pull me towards him. I sit my glass down and move with him into his arms. He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear smiling at me.

"You're beautiful," He says to me, "so bloody amazing."

"Keep talking?" I ask playfully. He leans forward connecting his soft lips to mine. We the passionate kiss as his hands fall to my waist. I move in synch with him allowing him to take the lead. But the announcer steals my attention.

"Scotland scores!"

"Yes!" I yell moving away from Draco. He sighs as I cheer for the game, he looks slightly annoyed at the action. I look back to him. "I am so sorry I don't know what happened there-"

"Scotland has the snitch! They win!"

"Bloody hell yes! Take that Theo you bloody idiot!" I scream. My eyes fall to my husband and I feel my cheeks go hot in embarrassment. "I am the worst wife." He moves to wrap his arms back around my waist pulling me towards him.

"I learned a while ago I share you with quidditch," He says with a light chuckle, "same with doing the right thing. But its fine. If I couldn't handle it I wouldn't of married you." I smile lightly still feeling bad.

"I do love you very much," I say to him. He nods reaching out of the tub for his wand. He waves it towards the radio turning it off. Suddenly the sounds of quidditch announcers leave the room and all that can be heard is the soft sound of the water moving and us.

"And I love you so much," He says, "but now the game is over. The war is over. Its just us. No distraction." I smirk at him moving closer.

"Just how it should be," I say to him. He moves crashing his lips into mine as we move enjoying the time with one another.

~~~

My robe starts to fall down my shoulders as I sit in front of the bookshelf in our hotel suite reading. The words are so hard to pay attention to at this moment. Something was seriously distracting me. Draco moves up behind me and plants a soft kiss on my bare shoulder. I smile closing the book and tossing it away. There is the distraction. He moves to sit beside me on the couch.

"Draco darling what's got you so lovey dovey today?" I ask him, "you were reading reports from work. Normally you're tired from that."

"It's different- this is our honey moon," he says to me as he takes my hand planting a kiss on them, "so lets go out tonight. Dinner maybe?"

"Why?" I ask him, "We have such a nice room. We can order some room service. Why leave?"

"Come on I know you want to go out," He says to me, "Come on Love lets show the town our rings." I cave looking at the blonds puppy dog eyes. I stand moving over to the closet. I drop my bathrobe then move to pull on a sleek dress. Hermione got it for me. Sure it's very muggle but its absolutely adorable. Draco gets himself dressed. Both of us are ready an hour later. Well correction I finish getting ready in half an hour but Draco spends another half an hour picking apart his various outfits. Finally he settles on a pair of neat dress robes. I smile looking over his appearance.

"You are so handsome," I say as I fix the collar. He pecks my forehead. As he moves back he takes my hand apparating me away at once. In a split second we are at a nice restruant in the line. Other wizards and witches fill the line. They look to us seeming excited at out presence. I wave to a witch staring at me. She whispers to her friends as Draco moves us to the hostess.

"We have a reservation under Malfoy," Draco says calmly, "Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy." I chuckle at his dorkiness. Honestly its kinda cute how excited he is that we are married. She smiles at us then leads us through the restaurant to a table in the back. We sit both looking over the menu at once.

"Mr and Mrs. Malfoy?" I tease slightly. He rolls his eyes.

"What its our name?" He asks me, "You're just jealous you lost your name-"

"I chose to give up my name!" I exclaim, "that wasn't you at all. I wanted to be a Malfoy. Salazar sake if you keep running your mouth like that-"

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm going to send your arse home for the rest of the honey moon," i joke, "I will have such a good time alone." He laughs as a younger girl rushes towards us.

"Cultven! Hi!" She says in a thick Scottish  accent, "can you sign this?" She lunges a picture of me flying on the field towards me. I smile nodding signing it quickly. Draco huffs on the other side of the table at his lack of attention. I laugh at him as she bounces off.

"I can't believe you are still jealous," I chuckle, "listen let's make tonight about you." I reach over to take his hand as he softens up. "We order the food then go back to the room. Enjoy ourselves?" He chuckles at the implied idea. As the server returns she gets us a bottle of wine then takes our orders. I poor the wine for us and smile at my husband.

"My mother is expecting us to come back and announce that we are pregnant," he says softly as he sips in his wine. I chuckle. "Everyone really wants us to have kids."

"Maybe we should talk about it," I say to him looking over curiously, "I mean do you want kids? How many? Things like that we should have out there just in case."

"Well I want them," he says to me, "i do like the idea of us having children. I mean we have the space and the money with out trying to hard."

"I want them too," I say to him, "I guess I always pictured our family in the future with a kid." He looks up to me. "But with me on the team there isn't really a good time. I'd have to take a season off. I don't really want to leave."

"It makes sense," he says to me as he grips my hand. It's not annoying or painful. It's comforting. His attempt at showing his support. "You have a career and that's what you want to do. I've said it before. We can wait as long as you need to."

"I don't want this to be all about me though," I say to him, "we both have to be ready before I feel comfortable bringing in a baby into this. You are very awkward with Teddy so I'm nervous about if you are ready any time soon?"

"What do you mean?" He asks me. I chuckle slightly. "I'm great with Teddy!"

"You are fine and you really love him but every time he gets affectionate you panic," I say laughing at him, "you are just a little tense with him. It's cute. But you can't do that if we have a baby."

"That would be different," he says to me, "our child would be perfect and wouldn't try to jump from the top of the stairs down." I laugh loudly. Teddy sure is a bit of a wild one. Even more so Victiore has a streak of copying him so now it's two of them.

"Teddy is just a high energy kid," I say to him, "but sure if you believe you can get a perfect kid go ahead."

"I believe that we can have a set of nice respectful children," he says to me, "we can raise them right. Better than mine did at least."

"Draco," I say softly.

"My dad did a lot of shitty things to my mom and I," He says to me, "i promise that won't happen with you. Okay?"

"Okay," I say to him cupping his cheek, "But i am not afraid of anything like that. You learn from his mistakes and you are making yourself a better man. I couldn't ask for a better person in my life." He smiles at me with a slight whimper.

"You are amazing," he says to me.

"We both are," i say to him, "and our kids will be the best!"

"Of course," He says to me, "we have the best genetics I mean they are going to look great. Be so smart. Quidditch masters. It will be amazing."

"You're going to have parselmouth kids!" I exclaim, "oh that's amazing. I'm so excited for that. How more slytherin could the Malfoy line get." He chuckles.

"I mean with your snake language and lost magic I mean we definitely are going to have powerful kids," he says laughing, "the perfect slytherins."

"Only if they get in slytherin," I say looking up at him, "we could have some Puffs or Claws. Even a gryffindor."

"Too far with the gryffindor!" He exclaims, "that's ridiculous a Malfoy in Gryffindor!"

"Not at all," I say to them, "we will love our kids no matter what house they are in. Right?"

"Of course," He says to me, "But like wouldn't it be great to have slytherins?" I roll my eyes shoving his arm slightly.

"It would be great to have a kid in quidditch," i say to him, "oh a little beater!"

"Seeker," he corrects.

"Whatever they want to play," I say honestly, "stop you are getting me excited about a baby we aren't having yet." He looks up to me carefully.

"We could," He says. I sigh slightly.

"In two years let's have our first," i say to him as I squeeze his hand reassuringly, "two more seasons for me. Some time for us to get everything together. It will be perfect."

"Two years," he says to me. The server brings our food and our discussion is tabled. The rest of the meal is quite enjoyable as we talk causally with each other. We leave the restaurant rather quickly to return to the hotel. Once in our room he crashes his lips into mine picking me up and carrying me over to the bed. He sits on the edge of the bed and I adjust my self to sit on his lap as we make out. His hands stay on my waist slightly pulling my dress up.

"Nox," I say as I break the kiss. The lights turn off as he lays back down on the bed reconnecting the kiss. We move in sync for a while before he pulls away. He looks over me with a look of awe. As he pulls off my dress the look doesn't leave his face.

"You are the most beautiful person," He says to me, "inside and out." He plants soft kisses from my mouth down my chest. Once he reaches my stomach he looks back up at me with his look of awe. "I love you so much."

"I love you more," I say as I move to pull up his dress robes off of him. "You are stunning." As his shirt hits the ground I look at the breath taking man in front of me. I trail my fingers along his chest. Sure he wasn't a guy with abs or anything. But with his working out for auror work and his general lucky with the gene poll he got a rather toned nice chest. His bright clear skin felt like something unearthly. Unlike Fred who had freckles littered all around his chest Draco has a clear smooth surface. The moon coming in from the window shines lightly on the two of us illumining the beauty of the boy. "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me." He crashes his lips into mine moving with passion and love. I would do anything for this man.

~~~~

We lay together as the bright morning sun shines through the window. I trail my fingers along his chest as he snores softly. His arm is tightly around me even in sleep. Something about waking up next to him is so relaxing. Like nothing can touch us like this.

"Morning Love," He says groggily. I smile looking up to him. 

"Morning Dray," I say as I move to push his messy hair from his face. He looks to the time and sighs. Its nearing noon and we have to be out of the room at one. Today is our day to return home and rejoin normal life. Which is so bittersweet considering everything. Sure I miss everyone but I sure do enjoy it just being him and I. 

"We better get up," He says pulling away. He stands as grabs his underwear from the floor pulling them on quickly. He tosses his shirt from the ground to me. I pull it on then stand taking his hand dragging him to the shower. Quickly we shower and get ready to leave. Packing our things, straightening the room (which he complained about since the cleaning crew would have to come in the room anyways. I made him help), everything to be able to leave. Once fully dressed and pack he and I leave the suite and walk down to the lobby. He checks out then finally we can apparate home. 

"Home sweet home," I say softly as we appear in our lounge. I flop down on the couch leaving the bags on the ground. He joins sitting beside me resting his head on my shoulder. "I think we should eat. Then start working out."

"Lets go outside and play some quidditch," He offers, "practice your skills so you aren't rusty."

"Sounds great to me," I say to him, "Finn!" The small elf moves from past the room towards us with a smile.

"Did masters enjoy their trip?" He asks us.

"We did," I say to him, "did you enjoy yours?" He nods. He decided that while on our honeymoon he was going to go explore the magical cities of Europe that became more accepting to house elves and other magical creatures and people after the fall of Voldemort.

"Very much so," He says softly, "some one is at the door for you masters. Shall I let them in?"

"No-"

"Yes let them in," I say over Draco. Draco huffs hiding his face in my shoulder as the elf walks off. Seconds later Ginny runs in with Harry jumping up and down.

"He proposed!" She squeals, "I'm getting married!" I look between them smiling cheerfully. Ginny seems so excited but Harry looks a little bit more serious as he looks to Draco.

"That's great!" I exclaim.

"Malfoy can I talk to you?" Harry says. Draco sits up looking to the boy. Upon seeing the attitude of the boy Draco raises to his feet then moves off with Harry leaving Ginny and I. She sighs as she sits down beside me.

"Something happened at work," Ginny says softly, "death eater things. They believe there is a group trying to raise back up. Harry's just a little scared that's all." I look over through the door of the office to see the two chatting frantically. "I hate that he already piled everything on Draco. You guys just got back."

"I'm a little worried that he is going to throw himself in this," I say to her, "but its all fine. Listen I am so happy for you and Harry. I bet your mum is all up in the planning." She chuckles.

"We told her last night and she was practically buzzing with excitement," Ginny says, "that's my wedding and Ron's wedding to plan."

"Well Hermione already has so much of hers planned," I say chuckling lightly, "her wedding is two months away. Anyways she was right there with your mom with planning. So at least that takes some of the pressure off of you." Ginny looks over to the boys and sighs.

"Harry has been so stressed since he was told," She says weakly, "I hope this thing blows over soon. I think planning a wedding on top of it will make it rough for him." I look to see Draco looking at the ground weakly.

"I hope its nothing," I say softly, "he deserves a break."

"Well how was the honey moon?" She asks me changing the topic.

"Fine," I say softly, "we had a lot of fun. Got a game plan for our lives. Decided we think we want a ferret. Small things."

"Perfect," She says to me, "Charlie wanted me to tell you that your wedding present will be here next week. Its a good one." I sigh shaking my head slightly. This man decided he was going to personally deliver mine and Draco's wedding present after the wedding. "He wants to know how willing to set up a little home outside for it you are-"

"What in Godrics sake is it?" I ask her slightly stressed. She reaches into her purse and hands me a picture. I look at it for a second and a huge smile spreads across my face. "He got us a niffler? I'm in love."

"Yeah I thought that would be your reaction," She says to me, "you are such a dork." I roll my eyes. The boys return and Harry steps towards me.

"Ginny and I have to head off but I'm glad you enjoyed your honey moon," He says pulling me into a hug. Once he pulls away I hug Ginny.

"Well congrats guys!" I say as I step towards Draco. They smile.

"Thanks," Ginny says. We exchange goodbyes then they head off. Draco sighs once they leave looking down to me.

"How bad is it?" I ask him.

"They are still out there," He says weakly as he sits on the couch. I take his hand clutching it tightly, "Harry and I start missions the day of your quarter finals game. We'll be gone for about a month." I sigh sitting down beside me. "I really didn't want to miss this games god this is awful."

"Priorities," I say to him, "the fate of the wizarding world or one simple little game. I promise I'll be fine. Just focus on making a world that two years we can have a baby in." He smiles widely. I plant a kiss on his forehead. 

"One day there won't be any death eaters left," He says to me, "one day we won't have to worry about them anymore." His eyes fall to his wrist. The dark mark still dark against his pale skin. It won't ever go away. He's tried everything. I cup his cheek. 

"You Draco Malfoy have earned your redemption," I say to him, "this mark is nothing more than a scar of your past struggles that you've gotten over. Like Ron's scars over his arms from the brains, or Hermione's arm saying mudblood, Harry's I must not tell lies, the scars over my legs from the chandler falling over them. This mark shows that you got better. You moved past the hard times and bettered yourself. You are the strongest man I've ever met. And the fact that you can move past everything that happened and still be so sweet and loving. Proves you are good Draco." His lip quivers slightly. He moves forward burying his face in my chest.

"I love you so much," He sobs. I run my hand across his hair in soft strokes. 

"I love you more. You're my hero."

The trauma from the war isn't just gone. We still go through so much. We will always go through so much. It doesn't just stop. We don't just forgive ourselves for everything. One day he and I will finally move past it all. One day he will look down at the mark and it won't bother him because he knows what he's done since then. One day he will realise that he really is my hero.
