Their charity, the STS Foundation, was named after Severus Snape and focused on working with magical children that came from underprivileged families. It didn't matter if they were Muggleborn, Half-blood, or Pureblood. If they had a need, the charity helped.

The idea had come to Draco one night when Lucius was telling them a story about Severus coming to Hogwarts in his mother's old school robes. Even though the outer robes were gender-neutral, Severus' were old so the Marauders correctly guessed that he was wearing his mum's old set. They had teased him mercilessly until Lucius, a fifth year at the time, had purchased Severus two new robes during the next Hogsmead weekend.

"I remember Ron and Ginny always being embarrassed by their second hand robes and books," Hermione said. "My parents offered to buy Ginny new books for her first year, but the Weasleys declined."

""Hmm—how about—you know the charity we've talked about starting? Shall we have it's aim as helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds?" Draco asked. "We can have a scholarship that pays for things that are on the list of required items; robes, books, potion supplies."

"That works for Purebloods and Half-bloods raised in the magical world, but what about Muggleborns?" Lucius asked. "And Muggle raised kids like Severus and Harry? How will they know to apply?"

"Headmistress McGonagall or her Deputy could talk to the parents about it when they deliver their Hogwarts letter," Hermione answered. "She spent a few hours at my house answering questions when I got my letter."

It had started as an independent charity at first. The three of them would go through scholarship applications from needy families that were sending their children to Hogwarts. A month after they started, Hermione received a letter from Headmistress McGonagall about a seventh year girl, Claire, who was going to turn down an invitation to the best Transfiguration institution in the world because she couldn't afford the tuition fees. McGonagall had convinced the girl to wait a week before declining her place at the school and asked Hermione if their charity only covered Hogwarts expenses.

After talking to her husbands, Hermione had gone to Hogwarts to interview the girl. Claire was a shy Ravenclaw Muggleborn that had lost her father to Death Eaters a week before the Final Battle. She had come to her interview prepared with an essay on why she wanted to attend the Transfiguration school, how much it would cost, and what she wanted to use her advanced education for. Hermione had listened carefully before going home and begging Lucius and Draco to help.

After that, they realised people's educational needs didn't end when they completed their NEWTs. While most people left Hogwarts to work in Ministry jobs, there were people with potential that couldn't afford to do anything but find work. Hermione worked closely with Headmistress McGonagall to find graduating students that could benefit from their help. They had been running the charity for a few months when they realised it wasn't enough work to keep them all occupied. Scorpius kept them busy, but with three parents home full time and a small army of house-elves who did the cooking and cleaning, Hermione was getting anxious with the lack of work.

An answer to what she should do came when Kingsley heard about what the STS Foundation was doing for older children, and he had reached out to Hermione with a job offer. The magical world did not have a department that focused on family services and they could really use someone to start one. Hermione had gone back and forth on what she wanted to do until, after talking with her husbands, she decided to take Kingsley's offer with some conditions. She would become an Ministry employee, and have a few people who worked under her, but Hermione worked from home three days a week, and had total control on who she hired.

Her first order of business had been to hire Narcissa as a 'New Mother Consultant'. After all the help she'd received from her mother-in-law after having Scorpius, Hermione knew there was a need for people like her. Narcissa spent her days at St. Mungos helping new and expectant mothers; answering their questions, teaching them spells that would help, and acting as a lactation specialist for mothers that were having problems with breastfeeding.

A year later, while Hermione was working on drafting legislation to make Muggle Studies mandatory for all Hogwarts students, Draco and Lucius went out and had all the Muggle parents they had worked with sign a petition to change the law that said Muggleborns could not be notified of the magical world until they were eleven. Hermione and Harry had given moving speeches at a Wizenagmot hearing about what it was like to have bouts of accidental magic as children. They focused on how scary it was for the Muggles around them, their caregivers and how it alienated them from other children. After a unanimous vote, the new law stated that Muggles would be visited by a member of the Department of Family Services after the child's first display of magic.

Hermione did take breaks from working over the years. She took six months off when Scorpius was two, after giving birth to their daughter Narcissa Jean. A year and a half later she had to take two years off after giving birth to Alice Nicole, when she became pregnant again just three months later with Armand Theodore. Deciding four children in five years was more than enough, Draco and Lucius both had magical vasectomies. Once the children were older, Hermione moved up in the Ministry.

Hermione had just returned home from her first day as Minister for Magic when there was a knock on her study door.

"Come in," she called.

"Good evening, love," Lucius said as he entered, with Draco and Scorpius behind him.

Scorpius was currently a seventh year at Hogwarts and was home for the Christmas holiday.

Standing up, she hugged and kissed both husbands before wrapping her oldest son in her arms. Even at seventeen, Scorpius was never self-conscious about hugging his mum. It had taken a few years, but Hermione had made sure that Lucius and Draco knew that, high society or not, she was not afraid to show the world how much she loved her family. They had always been affectionate at home, but it took a while for them to be willing to show affection in public.

"Welcome home, Scorpius. How's school going?" she asked him.

"School's fine," Scorpius said. "I already started revising for my NEWT exams."

"Scorpius," Draco interrupted. "Don't you have something you'd like to share with your mother?"

"What?" Hermione looked between the three men in the room.

"It's nothing big. Professor Longbottom gave me a week's detention." Scorpius shrugged.

"Tell her why," Lucius said sternly.

"He caught me coming out of the Prefect's bathroom after curfew."

"Scorpius," Draco's tone held a warning in it.

"Fine. He caught me coming out of the bathroom with James and Livianna."

"Why don't you tell your mother what you were doing in the bathroom with Mr Potter and Miss Zabini?" Lucius cut in.

"We were celebrating Slytherin beating Ravenclaw in Quidditch," Scorpius said. "And that we decided to be a triad."

"You're in a triad relationship with James and Livianna?" Hermione clarified.

"Yes."

"And do Harry and Pansy or Blaise and Ginny know?"

"No."

"Good."

"Good?" Scorpius, Draco, and Lucius said together, shocked.

"I was hoping they didn't because I want to see the look on their faces when you tell them." Hermione giggled. "Harry owes me ten Galleons."

"You bet on my love life with Uncle Harry?" Scorpius asked.

"Of course I did. He didn't believe me when I said you and James were dating. Livianna is a surprise though."

"Took us by surprise too, Mum. Just walked up to us one night in the common room, sat between us, grabbed our hands, and said 'look, I know you both fancy me, so we might as well all be together.'"

"For a Slytherin," Draco said, "that girl is as bold as a Gryffindor."

"Are you happy with them, son?" Lucius asked.

"I am," Scorpius confirmed. "Thanks for understanding. I'm spending the night at James' tonight. Love you all."

Hermione smiled as her son walked out the door, before she took her husbands' hands and led them to sit on the sofa in her study. It seemed like just yesterday when she had gone to Narcissa's and asked these two men to help save her life. Now, eighteen and a half years later, they had four children and were more in love than ever.

"Where are Narcissa, Alice, and Armand?" Hermione asked.

"The girls went to Bill and Fleur's for dinner," Lucius answered, "and Armand is over at George and Angelina's. They'll be back tomorrow."

"They're all growing up so fast."

"Just five more years and we'll be empty nesters," Draco said. "At least until we become grandparents."

"With Livianna in a relationship with Scorpius and James, that might happen sooner than we'd like."

"Well," Draco said with a snort, "at least Harry added that blood ritual to the Potter Estate so neither of the boys can get her pregnant until they're married."

"Thank Merlin for that," Lucius said. "We all know how much a child changes a relationship."

"Best thing that ever happened," Hermione confirmed.
