Hey guys, this is my first hp fan fiction, so I hope you enjoy. DRAMIONE! :) haha I love the two of them. This story will be pretty basic, fluff but sure to be entertaining. Making out, the yule ball, etc etc. Please Review. That makes me want to get out chapters faster and stuff. xo
Hermione felt surprisingly happy as she headed down to Care of Magical Creatures. She had done horribly on her potions pop quiz (3 questions wrong!) and on her goblin uprising essay, but the air was so sweet and autumn was beautiful with it's fiery colored trees and overcast skies. The crisp October air was spicy with the smells of smoke and dried leaves. It was hard to stay frustrated.
"Gather round, gather round." Hagrid announced gruffly. It took a few moments for everyone to stop talking and arrange themselves into a pitiful semi circle.
"Today I got something excitin' for ye." Hagrid began. Everyone groaned. "We'll be startin a project today. A real fun one. Worth a lot a yer marks, it is. You'll be paired up and marked fer yer cooperation and how you treat yer baby."
"Baby what, exactly, Hagrid?" Hermione asked the question everyone was wondering.
"Baby Erumpents a course! These little guys are rescues. See Erumpent horn smugglin's really common and lots of the time Erumpents are bred for their horn and then tossed aside." Hagrid took out an oversized hanky and sniffled into it."
Hagrid then began traveling around the group and pairing kids up. Harry was with Padma Patil. Ron was with Pansy Parkinson (much to his dismay)
Hermione's heart sank as she realized that the only two people who hadn't been paired were her and Malfoy. Malfoy seemed to realize this and made a face of disgust.
A few minutes later everyone had picked out their baby Erumpent. and were feeding it slabs of cold raw meat. Hermione's erumpent was smaller than the rest. It was about the size of a toaster oven and hideously cute. It had floppy ears, a obnoxiously large horn and leathery grey skin.
"I've never seen such an ugly baby." Malfoy said as he separated some more meat and tossed it to the baby curled into Hermione's arms.
"I think it's cute."
"Should we name it?" Malfoy asked nuzzling it on the cheek.
"How about... Edward?" Hermione suggested.
"That's a filthy muggle name. You should know!" Malfoy snarled.
"Grow up, Malfoy." Hermione said holding his sharp blue eyes for a long moment.
"How about Sam?" Malfoy suggested, looking down at the baby.
"Sam's a cute name."
Sam made a sound that was supposed to be a ferocious growl and snuggled into Hermione's chest.
When Hagrid announced that class was almost over, Hermione and Malfoy finally packed Sam up and brought him back into the stables.
"Part of yer grade is taking care of yer baby outside o' class. So I expect ye here after dinner to feed it, understand?" Hagrid said to the class as they were leaving.
Hermione saw Malfoy snickering to Goyle.
"Are you talking about me?" Hermione demanded standing directly in front of Malfoy and blocking his path.
"No, why I be talking about you, mudblood?"
"Maybe because you're an arrogant, mean prick?"
"Problem here?" Ron said, standing in between the two.
"Screw off, Weasley." Malfoy spat and then turned to Hermione. "I suppose I'll see you later then."
"Sure."
The good mood was gone. This would definitely not be a fun term.
