Hey everyone :) this is the chapter were the 'children' part of my title comes into play :) I hope u like it as I'm really getting into writing this one :) VaM xx
Hermione lent against the wall outside the Great Hall as she waited for him to finish his dinner. Could he go any slower! She thought as she spun her wand in-between her fingers. That was the moment in which he strode out the Great Hall flanked by Crabbe and Goyle.
"Come on then" He ground out not even flinching at the wand in her fingers, which annoyed her. She trailed along behind them not happy that she had to stay in the God for saken dungeons.
When they finally reached the entrance to the Slytherin common room Draco pronounced very clearly.
"Pureblood" and the statue leapt aside. Hermione rolled her eyes that would be their password. They all walked inside and Hermione didn't even bat an eyelid at all the glares she was receiving. Draco flopped onto the couch and let out a long sigh nodding at a few people, this of course left Hermione to stand in the middle of the room. This obviously did not go down well with the brilliant witch.
Hermione growled and stalked up to Draco glaring down at him.
"What do you want Granger?" He snapped and she snarled.
"I want you to show me to my room" She announced and he just laughed.
"Show yourself" He shrugged and she glared one last time before stomping away. It didn't take her long to find, it was pretty hard to miss the door was a jet black with hers and Draco's names printed in gold across the front.
She pushed it open and let out a little gasp. The room was beautiful, two beds stood on either side of the room one in deep emerald green and stunning silver the other in a gorgeous cherry red and glistening gold. A door led off to a sparkling bathroom with a ridiculously sized bath and shower along with many mirrors. She smiled and bounded over to the red bed before noticing a piece of parchment hovering in the air. She snatched it down and quickly began to read.
Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy,
I hope your room meets with you approval as I am sure it will. As I have already mentioned you will be living together. You will eat together on the Gryffindor table one day the Slytherin table the next, which is only fair. You just so happen to attend virtually all the same classes which is splendid as you will have to sit together for each. Now for the most important news of all, I am giving you a gift, the gift of life, something that you can both cherish and love. I already have the tools necessary so do not worry about the mechanics of anything. You must look after your gift and make sure you take it with you virtually everywhere you go. That gift is... a daughter.
Professor Dumbledore.
Hermione let out a scream, her hands shook and she felt like fainting. Gripping the parchment she flung the door open and ran down to the Slytherin common room. She ignored the sneers and taunts and ran to Draco shoving the paper under his nose. He raised an eyebrow at her which made several Slytherin's laugh.
"What's got your knickers in a twist?" He smirked but she had no witty comeback.
"Just read it" She ordered and he nodded taking it from her hands his eyes scanning over the page. She could tell when he got to the end, his face paled and his hand began to tremble.
"What? He can't be serious" He whispered and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Oh yes because Dumbledore really would joke about something like this, very funny" She snapped dropping onto the sofa next to him.
"Oh no we are not talking about this down here!" He ground out grabbing her hand and tugging her back up to their room. He shoved the door open and both stopped dead their eyes falling on the beautiful little girl asleep on Draco's bed.
She must have been about 4 much to their relief. Her deep honey gold curls fell softly over her shoulders and tumbled about her face. She had the prettiest face either had ever seen, round cheeks and striking cheekbones (thanks to Draco for that). Her light pink lips formed a perfect smile as she snoozed lightly.
"She's beautiful" Hermione whispered leaning closer to the girl. At the sound of her mother's voice the young girl opened her eyes and yawned.
"Mommy!" She exclaimed throwing her arms around Hermione who giggled softly.
"Stunning" Draco breathed drawing the young girl's attention.
"Daddy!" She grinned and pulled away from Hermione only to hug Draco, her small arms banding around his neck. Pulling back Draco gasped at the colour of her eyes, they were deep swirling silver flecked with the warmest brown giving her a look which was loving yet powerful. "My name is Maia Luciana Malfoy" She announced and Hermione cooed in delight.
"What a lovely name" She smiled and Maia giggled clapping happily.
"Daddy picked it" She announced and Draco pointed to himself making her giggle again before nodding. "Maia is the name of your favourite star" She supplied and Draco grinned.
"That it is, but your daddy's favourite star now, aren't you?" He whispered and she nodded seriously making him smile wide. Hermione blinked up at him, she'd never seen this side to him before and it was... charming.
Maia let out a long yawn and rubbed her eyes making Hermione smile.
"Come on you, it's late, time for bed" She instructed and Maia nodded climbing under the covers of Draco's bed. Hermione felt quite upset that she couldn't sleep with her daughter but resigned herself to that fact. "Night May" She whispered leaning over and pressing a kiss to the young girl's forehead.
"Night Mommy, love you" Maia mumbled already falling asleep. Draco looked on in awe at this before watching Hermione disappear into the bathroom to change for bed all her clothes already in the room. Draco took this opportunity to strip down to his boxers and climb in beside Maia already asleep before Hermione even came back into the room.
I know it was short but it made sense to stop the story here as the next chapter starts the rest of their school life with Maia :) xx
