When they plane landed Draco led Hermione out and they were greeted by a hot breeze

"Oh Draco! Buenos Aires? Argentina?" Hermione exclaimed and clapped her hands like a child

"I did promise to show you the world" he whispered into her ear

Hermione smiled at the memory of the promise, it was one of her happiest moments in her life

Draco led Hermione through the airport and once outside they were greeted by a driver

"Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, como están?" The driver asked

"Muy bien señor" Draco answered

Hermione looked at her husband in astonishment, he always surprised her

"Do you wish to go into wizard Argentina or muggle Argentina?" The driver asked, his voice thick with his accent

"Muggle, please" Draco said

The driver opened the door and Draco helped his wife in, Hermione settled in the car and placed one hand over her stomach

Daddy will spoil you rotten my little muffin she thought to herself, smiling at the memory of thinking this when she was pregnant with Scorpius and Lyra

The driver began giving them a private tour of Buenos Aires, giving them history about the country, basically saying everything that Hermione already knew

Draco looked at his wife, thanking Salazar for giving him the opportunity of happiness with the girl who stole his heart in third year, he blocked out the driver, his wife was a vision, and even though she had already given him two children he was excited to have the privilege of having more, more children that were half him and half her

He made a promise in eight year after the war to make it up to her, to earn her forgiveness, and even though she said she already forgave him, he was going to apologize until his last breath

"I'm sorry" he whispered

Hermione knew what he was talking about, it was in moments of pure vulnerability that the guilt ate at him, in the happiness moments he felt like if he didn't deserve them

She looked at him and looked deep into his eyes, making him look deep into her soul just as she looked into his, she saw the torment, she saw the pain of his actions when he was just a boy, a boy without a choice

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, the love of my life, my husband, the father of my children, my equal and my opposite, I forgive you" Hermione whispered, she held his face in her hands, not letting him look away

"I forgive you for calling me that name when we were kids, I forgive you for all the bullying and torment you bought upon me all those years, I forgive you for standing by while your aunt marked me, I forgive you. Draco, look at me" she begged as she pushed her husband to look into her eyes "you didn't have a choice, do you hear me? You didn't have a choice, and I thank my stars that they gave me another chance to be with you, you have given me my family, without you I would not have Lyra and Scorpius, and the baby on the way, you Draco Malfoy, are my family, don't you ever forget that" she finished as she kissed him

She bought her hand to his forearm, the once nesting place of the dark mark, now covered by a tattoo, one that let her a chance to be with him

She bought his hand to her forearm, once marked with the word mudblood now hidden with a tattoo, one that gave him a chance to move on

"We all have scars Draco, we all did things we are ashamed of, but it's our choices of today that give us the opportunity" she whispered

"How could you love me?"

"I love you because you chose me, you chose to love me even though your parents fought you, you chose to help me find my parents, you were willing to give me up so I could be happy, Draco, I love you because even though you were taught to be selfish, you never were" she answered

"Hermione Jean Malfoy, you are my second chance" He said as he kissed her

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, I will never stop loving you" she whispered and kissed him

"We're here" the driver said, with an awkward cough

They left the car and made their way into the hotel "Bella Luz" and Draco led them to the front desk

A woman, around 20 helped them, Hermione noticed that the woman kept stealing glances at Draco, Hermione also noticed that when the receptionist talked to him her voice went lower and more flirtatious, Hermione cleared her throat and that caused the receptionist to glare at her

"My husband and I would like for you to do your job and give us our keys" Hermione said with a smirk, she noticed that the receptionist looked at Hermione, checking her out and smug smile went on her face

"I don't like to be kept waiting" Hermione said, her voice going low, this caused the woman to back down

Once Hermione and Draco entered the room, Hermione grabbed her husband by the collar of his sweater and whispered

"You belong to me"
