A/N: Hey everyone...I know it's been some time since I updated my stories. But I got a review when I checked my emails today and I suddenly got motivation ^__^

Thanks to: iceskaterluvr I really appreciate it :')

Summary: Hermione finds that her roommate's boyfriend is none other than Draco Malfoy. He stays for a few nights only making things worse for Hermione who notices that soon she feels hippogrifs flying around in her stomach whenever she's around him.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter characters/settings/everything in Harry Potter, but I do own Grace and Tina! :P and this setting :P!


Tina lay in her seat, her back reclined and her hand on her stomach, "Boy am I full! Thanks for the pancakes Mia. You're the best sister ever!"

Draco eyed Hermione curiously, "Sister?"

"No-no-no, she just calls me that." Hermione tittered and squeezed Tina's cheek. Tina pouted and narrowed her eyes angrily at Hermione.

"What did I tell you about pinching my widdle cheek?" the little girl huffed. Draco and Hermione laughed in unison causing them to exchanged glances. Hermione quickly coughed and pretend to search for something in her bag. Her bag however, began to vibrate every two seconds.

Her mobile was ringing.

Punching the answer button with her thumb, she pressed the mobile against her ear. Everyone around the table seemed to eavesdrop on the conversation she was having on the phone, as the tone of Hermione's voice was very grave.

"That's terrible news. I do hope she gets better. Of course, no problem. Mhm. What time should I put her to bed? Alright. Yes she's been a doll the whole time. Don't worry, I'll take great care of her. Goodbye." Click-

Tina looked up at Hermione, "Is mommy okay?"

"Yes, your mommy is perfectly fine. But her mommy isn't doing so well and that means she has to stay much longer in the hospital Tina. So you have to sleep over at my house today. Okay?" Hermione answered sorrowfully.

Tina nodded, "Okay."

Grace looked alarmed, "That thing is staying in our house? She is sleeping in your room. Got it? And this better be a one time thing. Otherwise both of you are so getting kicked out."

"Don't take that tone with me. You get to bring a friend to our apartment, and so do I." Hermione stood up and handed the check which she paid for completely to the waiter, took Tina's hand and walked off.


As the sun began to set, all four were seated in living room of their apartment watching Barney the Dinosaur. Three of them, watching patiently as Tina sang along to the lyrics of the ending song.

"I love you, you love me-" Tina began pointing at everyone, "We're a happy family, with a great big hug-" she hugged Hermione, "And a kiss from me to you-" the little girl then blew a kiss at Draco, who laughed while she did, "Won't you say you loooove meeeee too!" and hopped back onto the sofa applauding at herself.

Grace, annoyed, snatched the remote on the coffee table in front of them and flicked the channel.

"Hey! Tom and Jerry is coming up next. Give it back!" Tina began sobbing tears of attention. Draco took the remote from Grace and flicked it back to the kiddy channel.

Grace stared in astonishment at Draco, "Excuse me, but what the hell are you doing?"

"Stop making a big fuss. She's only what...four? Five years old? Come on Grace, be nice. Besides, I kind of liked Barney. I want to see why Tina is so excited about Tom and Jerry too." Draco petted little Tina on the head.

Grace groaned with annoyance and stomped off to her room yelling, "You're not getting any tonight! And you're sleeping on the sofa!"

"I'm sorry Mister Jason" Tina looked up at Draco with puppy-dog eyes, "I didn't mean for you to get in trouble."

Draco chuckled, "That's okay Tina. I love the sofa any ways. Don't you worry about a thing."

After a few shows there was no more sun. He glanced at Hermione who was fast asleep on the sofa arm. She looked so peaceful and innocent. Her soft pink lips were quivering-

"MIA! WAKE UP"

His thoughts were interrupted by the tiny girl beside him, who was vigorously shaking the poor bookworm.

"I'm up, I'm up!" Hermione rubbed her eyes and glanced at the watch, "Oh crap, my job interview! I completely forgot. Fu-dge... Draco, could you please take care of Tina real quick." Hermione jumped out of the sofa and took her belongings, running hastily out of the door.

"Sure." He said, amazed at her speed.

"Why'd she call you Dwaco?" Tina asked, tugging his sleeve.

"It's my nickname, of course." He ruffled Tina's hair and directed his eyes at the clock on the wall.

7:00

"Shouldn't you be in bed young lady?"

"Nuhuh, mommy allows me to go to bed at uhm twelve o'clock." Tina answered

"Sure she does. Go brush your teeth and go to bed, otherwise no cartoons in the morning!"

"Okay, okay!" Tina rushed to the bathroom and picked up the smallest toothbrush and began scrubbing her teeth in front of Draco, then ran back to the bathroom and tried to reach the taps on attached to the sink.

Foam was dripping on her little light green dress and she turned to Draco with a helpless look on her face.

Draco walked towards the bathroom and picked her up towards the sink, allowing her to spit the foam out of her mouth and rinse her minute hands.

When she was done, she hopped of Draco's arms and thanked him.

"Can I call you Draco to Mister Jason?" She questioned excitedly.

"If you really want to, but not in front of Grace okay? You and Hermione are the only people who are allowed to, because you're special." Draco chewed on his lip after he said Granger's first name accidently.

"Okay Draco." Tina replied and skipped towards Hermione's bedroom.

"Hold it! You're not going to bed in that messy dress now are you little missy?" Draco folded his arms and tapped his foot while Tina stood there staring at her dress. Draco ran into the laundry room and summoned one of his shirts, using a cleaning spell on it. As he ran back, he accidently kicked on a can of iced-lemon tea that was casually lying on the laundry floor. Beside it, a pile of clothes, he noticed was flattened, as if some one slept on it.

Draco raised an eyebrow, and walked off to find Tina.

"Wear this as your Pyjamas for tonight." He instructed while holding the huge shirt up with both hands by the shoulder area.

Tina tugged it out of his grip and waddled to Hermione's room, locking the door. Draco sighed in relief as he finally got Tina out of his hair.


Tina rolled about in her sleep when suddenly a strike of lightning made her jolt up. She was terrified and began realising how dark it was in her room.

Tina slid out of bed carefully, making sure her toes could find the floor first, and opened the door, heading towards the living room. She waddled over towards Draco in his t-shirt which appeared like a huge dress on the little girl, almost tripping on the hem of the shirt as she did.

Draco was awake, but unaware of Tina's presence, watching Oprah. Tina climb on the sofa and snuggled Draco's arm for comfort. Draco was somewhat shocked at the sudden movement and looked down at his arm to see a little girl clinging at his arm, already fast asleep. He sighed and gently put her head on his lap, soon falling asleep himself.


The door unlocked, and Hermione entered the silent apartment. The room was dim, except for the constant flickering of the television. She tiptoed towards the remote to turn it off and glanced at the sofa. Her heart skipped a beat.

This image made Draco seemed so kind-hearted. Tina laying on his lap and his arms wrapped up around her as if to protect her. She felt so tempted to brush the strands of blonde hair out of his face, to see more of his handsome countenance.

So, she did, she brushed his hair away from his face and edge her own face closer towards his, unconscious of what she was doing until...

"Granger, what are you doing."

Grey eyes looked back intensely at hers, and she stumbled backwards and stuttered.

"I was I-I thought well, I was going to pinch you awake! Just to annoy the heck out of you." Hermione replied, breathing heavily.

"For a second there I thought you were trying to kiss me." He smirked as she blushed, "We wouldn't want that now would we? I'm too good for you anyway."

Hermione furrowed her brows and walked away.

"How was the job interview by the way?" Draco asked, as if he was really bothered. Hermione was surprised he remembered.

"I doubt they liked me. I stuttered too much." She sighed and closed her bedroom door.

She placed her hands on her heart and closed her eyes. What was that feeling just now? What on earth was she trying to do?
