ACQUAINTED

This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic with characters that are not my own, but I will try,and stick with the characters personality and wont change them that much. Draco and Hermione pairing I always wanted them to be together my grammar is not the best and my spelling might be bad to but please bear with me alright enough of that.

DISCLAIMER I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTOR THAT'S JK ROWLINGS WORK.

CHAPTER 1 READY HERMIONE

DEAR DAIRY

I can't believe I still write in you even though am a mother to a four year old SON. 15th January 20O2 my son's birthday and every year since he learned how to talk and understand what's going, he has been asking me about his dad I hate lying to him but if I think about it it's not really a lie his DAD is not here, but am to blame for that ,I have tried several times to contact him but am too much of a coward .i know u think am an awful person but u cannot blame me for it .i don't know how he would act if he found out about him not to add on his family is not a big fan of mixing of bloods and to find out that they have a half-blood for a grandson I don't see it turning out to well anyway I don't have too much time hopeful I will be able to update u on how the day goes today .

Mum! Mum! Mum! I put my dairy away just in time to see my little boy running with a big smile on his face towards me with all the happiness in the world , his platinum blond hair falling into his eyes I really need to take him for a haircut I make a mental note of it in my head so that I don't forgot.

Hey scorpy what u doing up here the party is downstairs. Unci Ron and Harry asked me where u were and I said mummy is upstairs and I said I will come get you so am here to get you. I laughed at the way my son tried to explain his logic of why he came up here ,alright buddy lets go down and cut the cake shell we .mom is dad coming today . they it was the question I always try to avoid every year ,I went down to his level and couldn't look my son in his sky blue eyes a clear mixture of my brown eyes and his father's grey .Scorpius honey your dad is…. I couldn't do it anymore I tried to tell him the truth that I was a bad mum and that his dad didn't know that he even exist but no I couldn't tell him that he wouldn't understand so I lied baby your dad sent u a letter explaining why he can't make it we can read it later tonight, I could see the hope and joy feel his bright eyes that his dad sent me a letter I felt horrible lying to him like that but nothing can be done what's done is done. Now come on everyone is waiting for u to blow out the candle so that we can all have a piece of cake. He placed his little hands in mine and we made our way downstairs.

There you are Hermione .what were u even doing up there reading a book or something. no Ronald I was not reading I was just grabbing my present for Scorpius another lie came out of me as natural as day I need to stop lying and just tell the truth. Everyone deserves to know the truth, I remember how harry reacted when he first found out.

FLASHBACK

Ding dong! Ding dong! Mum the door ding dong! coming I shouted out loud to whomever is ringing the doorbell at 7 months pregnant my mood wings were unpredictable and It was getting hard to move from up to downstairs, I wonder who it could be only a few people knew were my parents livedand we were not expecting any relatives today .maybe it was the neighbour across the street she's always coming over to talk about her grandkids and cats guess she was a bit lonely .i reached the door in time to stop the person from ring the doorbell again.

What's taking her so long it's been a while since I saw Hermione or heard from her .she would send letters very week after she decided she wasn't coming back to Hogwarts for our seventh year but take the N.E.W.T exam's earlier than the rest of us .to everyone's surprise but we didn't question her much when she mentioned it was to help her parents adjust in after their got there memories back .lately her letters have completely stopped and got me worried so I decided to pay her a surprise visit and imagine my surprise when she opened the door .

Hermione and harry just stared at each other in complete shock ,one shocked at what he was seeing the other shocked at what she's going to do next .

Hermione just froze and couldn't say a word, harry just stared at her stomach not saying a word either finally Hermione manage to say one word' harry'. He stared at her face and blinked a couple of times then cleared his throat Cause it seemed to have gone dry, would u like to come in asked Hermione. harry just nodded his head and walked inside the house even though he didn't know the layout he found himself sited on the couch still trying to process everything, things were now starting to make more sense why she wouldn't meet up with them ,the reason she didn't want to go back to school even though she was chosen as head girl everything seemed clear ,but more questions came up, what are you doing here harry , Hermione's voices pulled harry out of his head .

mmmmh harry cleared his throat again I came to see u Hermione, I mean u haven't we haven't heard a word from u from the last month and I got a bit worried that's all guess I was right to come here , Harry tried to laugh of the confusion that was stopping him from asking her a million questions per minute. So u pregnant harry blurted without knowing the words had left his mouth. Hermione looked up at harry and placed her hands on her stomach as if to protect the child inside from the world. She didn't know what harry was going to say next but Merlin help him if he said something bad against her child even if the child was yet to be born she would hex him to nonexistence ,she promised her child from the time she found out about him that she wouldn't let anyone say a bad thing against him she will protect him and make sure that he never feels unwanted or ever hear the word mudblood even though it's unlikely that he would ever hear it towards him ,since his a half-blood .harry wouldn't say anything like that to her would he ?

So is Ron the father? NO his not. the no hit me like a shock that made me look at Hermione in a new light, I realised how I had created a image in my head that wasn't her. I looked at Hermione and notice she was biting her lower lip and her hands placed on her stomach she was protecting her child from the world from me . am sorry Hermione , you don't have to explain anything to me I won't force u to tell me if u don't want to its up to ,it might take me a while to get used to it , I know u have your own reasons for not telling us ,I might not have agreed with the way u lied to us all I mean we are best friends and I thought u could trust us with anything .but I won't judge u . I just want to let u know that am here for you.

Harrys words brought tears to my eyes I as I felt bad for hating him and lying to him I also felt a big weight being lifted off my shoulders .I stood up and went to give harry a big hug for I felt he deserved it for being a good friend and understanding me even thought I had lied to him .

PRESENT DAY

HAPPY BRITHDAY Scorpius everyone shouted as the little blond four year old blow out the candles, what did u wish for Scorpius asked Lilly Harry's 3 year old daughter .i wished for my dad to come home soon he sent me a letter said Scorpius so gleeful and joy in his eyes, everyone looked at Hermione as to confirm if it's true.

Everyone knew the mystery surrounding Scorpius father Hermione told no one who father of that little boy was .the question on everyone's mind ,who is the father ,a few eyes passed around the room trying to see who would ask the question ,so Hermione are u going to finally tell us who Scorpius father is or what? Asked Ron, come on Ron live it alone she will tell us when she's ready and why is it important to know the father is Scorpius is doing fine without him, if only harry knew how much the child longed for his father .

Gin can you help me clean up while the kids have their cake, sure Hermione; sorry about my idiotic brother I see why u broke up with him in the first place

Ohm that's right I had dated Ron after he completed his seventh year at Hogwarts Scorpius was about a year old and it did not go while ,I was against dating after I had Scorpius but Ron was my best friend and I did sort of like him back at school and against my better judgement I went out with him ,he would contently ask me who Scorpius's father was ,he would command more attention than I was willing to give cause of my son ,and I finally got fed up with him that we broke up he didn't take it very while but that's just Ron being Ron guess I was wrong his still hooked on finding who Scorpius father is ,I don't blame him I would be curious if I was in his place but am a grown women and I…..Hermione are u even listening to me ,ohm sorry Ginny what did u say? I said that Scorpius reminds me of a certain someone from school.

what do u mean my voice came out a bit louder than I planned to ,no its impossible no one knows am just over thinking it's probably nothing , I mean if u think about it ,Ginny went on her explaining her logic ,they are a few people who could be his father again I might be wrong , hahaha I tried to pass off a nervures laugh as a cough .

that led me to think why would u hide the identity unless you don't know either, but I know u Hermione so the reason why u won't tell us who his father is, it's because its someone who u don't want us to know about from what I see in Scorpius they is only a few people who have his hair colour the way he smiles that's no smile that's a smirk and I know for a fact …...Ginny stop

I really love Ginny but trust the girl to dig out all the clues and be observant of everything, His A MALFOY isn't he, my heart beat fast at the mention of his last name it's like I had completely blocked out everything about him like he never existed in my world to hear his name out loud just made me come to terms with reality and I felt my eyes grow heavy tears started coming out I couldn't keep it up anymore I cried tears started running down my eyes I looked at the red head next me and just whispered her name ooh Ginny .

Luna, Hermione and I are going upstairs for a bit can u watch the kids for us? Sure I can do that replied Luna lovegood in a sing song like voice, Ginny lead Hermione upstairs to her bedroom and set her down while she quickly went to grab her a glass of water.

Hermione drink this and try to come down I understand how u must feel, and I won't push u into telling me how or why Malfoy is the father I just want to know one thing .

They was a pause that followed those words as Hermione looked at Ginny with a questioning look on her face. Did he force himself on you? Hermione's eyes grow to the size of sauce plates and she shook her Head so fast it felt like her brown curls where about to fell of her head.

No! No! No! (Draco would never do that to me or any girl for that might he wasn't called the slytherin sex god for nothing, what the hell Hermione)Hermione's cheeks burned a bright rose as she was caught off guard thinking of Draco. I was fully involved and I did give my consent to him when it happened. Ginny looked relived but was still curious as to how it happen she recalled how those two hated each other they couldn't stay in the same room for five minutes without hexs being thrown at one another so the thought of them having sex and let alone have a child together really puzzled her, but she told Hermione she wasn't going to push her and she will do just that when Hermione is ready she will tell her, it's just a matter of waiting.

So does MALFOY know about Scorpius? Asked Ginny .Hermione's face said it all the look of shame and fear plastid on her face.

No he doesn't I mean how can I tell him I was so confused and scared when I found out I was a pregnant ,and after the war Malfoy was nowhere to be seen when he finally surfaced he wasn't really easy to get a hold of him nor would he ever reply to any of my massages .

Hermione did u even try to contact him ,and I mean really try, am guessing u were not planning on telling me ,but he has the right to know Hermione it's not fair, even though he doesn't know he has a son out there .

Come on Ginny this this Malfoy we talking about do u honestly think he would welcome me and my half-blood son with open arms, act like a happy little family and pretend like we don't hate each other's guts

Even though Hermione didn't know it ,Ginny knew they must be something between the two of them, something that lead to the creation of that little boy downstairs ,Draco and Hermione where more alike than they knew if their took the time to talk to each other they could make a beautiful couple .,not to mention they were both head strong that's ,why her god son Scorpius was so stubborn , sneaky as his father and witty as his mother .

Ginny just shook her head and looked at her best friend with compassion she wanted to help her but she didn't know how .Are you ever going to tell Scorpius who his father is?

Unknowingly to the girls the little boy in question was listening in to them and heard his father's name .even though at four years old Scorpius was smarter than any average child at his age, he ran to his room gathered up his some clothes, a few toys and went to where his mom kept information about everyone.

He searched for the name he had heard his mom and aunty Ginny mention. He scanned through names his mom started teaching him how-to read earlier on he could put two letters together and try and make a word out of it dr-a-co ma-l-foy he found it written in big bold letters DRACO MALFOY, together with an address . even though the manor wasn't a that exact address it was in that general area and only a Malfoy can reach it

Scorpius managed to sneak past everyone and made his way through the backdoor into the garden were they was a gate leading to the streets ,he looked around making sure no one was watching him as he made his way out to the open street .
