"Are my parents alright?!" Hermione asked nervously.
"Don't worry, they must be fine by now." assured Draco.
Hermione let out a happy sigh, but before she could ask what her dear daughter had done, something struck in her mind, and she asked "Wait, what?! What do you mean by - alright now?"
"Relax Hermione! They are fine. Except onebitemarkandonebrokenbone"
"First off, dear husband, I can't understand a single word you just spoke. And how can you ask me to relax when you are not telling me WHAT HAPPENED?! "
By the look in Hermione's eyes, Draco knew not to mess with her now. So he decided to go on, with all what had happened that day.
"Promise me, that you will not get mad."
"I'll try." said Hermione. "Now go on, enough of your dramatics."
Draco took a deep breath and ran into the story.
"After I reached the platform, I caught a taxi. But accidentally I got off it too soon." He was now looking very cautiously at Hermione, who just nodded in reply, asking him to continue.
"So, me and Argo had to walk some distance and there was this... muggle park on the way. So obviously, Agro wanted to go in and that was what she did."
Draco smiled to himself as he played the memory of an excited Agro running towards the park and muttered 'That little devil' to himself.
After a second of thinking where he had stopped, Draco continued "Then she played for a while in some things, of which I only recognised the swings."
"Oh For Merlin's sake! Cut the details Draco."
"Oh, yes dear, for sure. But, this is an essential part of the story. I mean, what happened next is.." Said a gleeful Draco.
"What?" Was the only word Hermione said, before there was a PoP sound and green smoke emerging from their floo, followed by Ginny Weasley.
"BUTTERBEER ANYONE?" shouted Ginny as soon as she entered the drawing room with two butterbeers.
"SHHHH" said the couple in unison. "Argo's alseep!"
"Ok. Ok. I'm sorry" said Ginny, with a stupid expression. "
After keeping down the butterbeers, she grinned at her friends and said "Sorry folks, got to get back to the burrow before Albus wakes up. Just dropped by to give you both the treat I had promised!"
"Are you serious?!" Asked Draco dumbfounded.
"Of course, I'm serious." Said ginny walking back to the floo. "See you guys!" She shouted as she floo'ed back again.
She was long gone, even before they could reply her.
"Wow! Only Ginny can do that!" Said Hermione as she held her butterbeer up and took a big swig.
"So back to the story." Draco said as he picked up his own butterbeer. After taking a large sip, Draco continued "With in fifteen minutes in the park...I lost her!"
Hermione spat out the butterbeer from her mouth, which flew and landed directly on the person sitting in front of her.
Drenched in butterbeer, Draco was looking at Hermione with such an expression, which resembled a puppy caught red handed teething the couch.
"What the hell? How could you? I mean, it's your own four-year-old daughter, for Merlin's sake!" Hermione was now pacing the room and trying not to panic. "I'm not letting you take her out again! What if...what if.. How is she? Oh my Lord!.."
Draco had the audacity to snigger at this.
"Calm down, women! Can you even hear yourself? Why are you asking me - How is she? When you, yourself put her to bed, like an hour ago. Just relax Hermione, and by the way, I found her within a couple of minutes."
Hermione have him a look which clearly said, 'Thank God you did Draco, or else I would bite your head off. Literally!'
Shuddering at her expression, Draco asked "Guess where I found her?"
"Let's see, umm...may be right infront of your eyes!" Such a git, Hermione thought to herself.
Ignoring his wife's sarcastic reply, Draco Chuckled heartily, before saying "Nope." In a sing-song voice.
Hermione deliberately took a deep breath, to calm herself down and said "I do NOT know, Draco."
Carefully looking at his wife, to see how she'd react, he continued "I found her sitting on one of the park benches, next to a boy. He must be around eight or nine years of age, that's all.
And GUESS what?!"said Draco "She was bugging him about the book he was reading and asking him to read it out loud for her."
Draco paused and tried to suppress his mirth as much as possible.
"Even when the boy said that, it was an encyclopedia, and Agro wouldn't understand a thing, she kept on asking him to read it out loud." He continued, looking at Hermione's cheeks turn pink.
"She even put up a tantrum, when the boy refused to explain what an encyclopedia is. The poor boy was almost in tears!"
Hermione had shut her eyes now.
"You really owe me one, Mione. It was really hard convincing Argo to leave the park and even harder to get out of the park, while all the others, just laughed and stared at us."
Hermione got the point. She blushed furiously. She still remembered the stories told to her, by both her parents, teachers and relatives, about how much trouble she used to get into, in the exact same way and for the exact reason. THIRST FOR BOOKS AND KNOWLEDGE!
During her later teens, her parents used to pull her leg, by saying that 'She'll get it, only when she'll experience it through her own kid!'
Hermione laughed, as she was both embarrassed and happy.
"Don't you think it's pretty obvious. I mean, she's Hermione Granger-Malfoy's daughter. She had to have, some of my traits." Mione said in her defence, to Draco's accusation.
(Hell yeah, now she felt as if she was being accused!)
"Oh, yes dear. She had to." Said Draco grinning from ear to ear. "...But, this was just the beginning!"
"Oh Lord! Beginning?" Whispered Hermione as she sagged in her chair.
