Finally what you all have been waiting for. The story !.........
Chapter 4 : Your Such An Idiot Draco. A Silly Idiot.
" So, ' Daddy ' where to first ? " Asked Hermione once Draco had caught up to her.
Draco watched as Hermione bounced Junior lightly causing the baby to giggle uncontrollably. The perfect little family scene.
" This is just a little bit too...actually a lot to sappy for me. " Grumbled Draco.
Hearing only muffled sounds from Draco, Hermione turned her head to lean in closer to hear better.
" What was that you...ow.ow.ow! " Cried Hermione.
It seemed while turning her head, she had given Junior a pefect opportunity to cause some mischief. So Junior caused some mischief. I mean why wouldn't he ? He's Draco's mini me.
Junior used his chubby little hand to grab Hermione's hair and closed his fist securely.
" Now this is more like ! " Draco said approvingly, rubbing his hands together in delight. " A spot of violence to start my day. Not to mention that it is directed towards my favorite know it all beaver. Life is good. "
" Glad your...ow!...enjoying this but we ..ow !!..do have other tasks...oh my gosh! Ow!..." Hermione said struggling to get her hair free from Junior's grasp. " to attend...ow ! "
His very securely grasp.
Now did our noble, handsome Mr. Draco Malfoy help the distressed Hermione ?
" Malfoy ! Aren't you going to help me ? " Cried Hermione, who was at her wits end.
" Are you kidding ? This is priceless ! I think I'll wait a few more minutes. " He said crossing his arms over his chest smugly.
I think not.
" Draco Malfoy ! "
Or maybe just this once.
He cringed at the tone of her voice. Not something he did very often.
' Actually, with Granger, I'm always cringing' thought Draco. ' I cringe at her hair. Her face. Her personality. Her friends.....'
The list was endless.
Quickly snapping out of it, Draco walked the few steps betweeb them to help her out.
" No wonder Potter and Weasly never leave your side. They're scared of what you would do if they did. " Draco said as he worked on loosening Junior's grip. Then after a few minutes was successful. " Thank god you tamed that hair of your, or else I would have to fight a wild mane ! Who knows what dangers lie hidden in that bush of a hair. "
" Finally ! " Cried a relived Hermione.
" Thank god you tamed that hair of your, or else I would have to fight a wild mane ! Who knows what dangers lie hidden in that bush of a hair. "
" That's quite a grip you got there buddy. " She said ignoring Draco's pointed looks at her.
" Hey! Still here you know ! " He said, not happy at being ignored. " and a thanks wouldn't hurt." He added.
" Oh yea, you. Your here I forgot. "
" Yea me ! And my thanks ? "
" Oh..umm thanks by the way..I guess. " She replied in a monotone voice.
" Real gratious aren't you ? "
" Always. " She said smiling to sweetly for the likes of Draco. " And take Junior. I don't want another episode of making Hermione bald anytime soon. " Hermione said as Draco took the baby from Hermione.
" Quit your whining Granger. Your giving me a headache..again. And I'm hungry. "
" Your a guy. Of course your hungry. When are you not ? " She said with a roll of her eyes.
" Well excuse me. I didn't know you were an expert on the human male. " Draco said mockingly.
"You forget dear Malfoy, my best friend is Ron. Need I say more. "
" Ugh! Please don't! " Draco said scrunching his face in distaste at he memory of Ron eating. There are just some things you can't miss.
" Anyways your not my top priority. " Hermione said casually.
" I feel so loved. " Draco said sarcastically.
" I'm sure you do. First, we are going to buy some food for Junior to eat. We can't starve the poor thing now. Also with food comes the necessity of buying bottles, etc. etc. " She said taking control of the situation.
" What happened to letting me choose ? " Asked Draco, confused as to why he was being ordered around instead of the other way around.
" Simple. You annoyed me. So it's my way now. "
" I don't think so Granger. I'm not going to follow your orders like some common house elf." Protested Draco.
" Oh really. So you know what type of formula to buy him ? The correct brand ? Where to buy them ? They types of bottles to buy ? Oh, and I assume you know his age to help you choose correctly ? Right ? " Hermione questioned.
" Ummm..can you repeat the first question ? "
" Your hopeless ! " She said throwing her hands up in frustration. " Draco, you just need to trust me on this ok ? "
" Why the sudden change in names ? "
" Because this little game of saying each others last names is old. We're aldults now. We have a baby to take care of. Get where I'm going with this ? "
" Yes. Yes. Don't need you to write a novel for me. "
He watched Hermione sigh and shake her head lightly. He knew what he had to do. He wasn't about to be out done.
" Lead away Hermione. "
He was rewarded with a soft smile of gratitude.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
" I still don't understand why you had to buy the whole store. " Asked Draco.
" For the millionth time. WE didn't buy the store. WE bought what was necessary. WE bought formulas and bottles. WE need to be prepared. You'd be surprised at how quickly they disappear. He's four months old now, but before you know it he's off to Hogwarts. " Said Hermione who was now back to holding Junior.
After purchising their items, they decided it would be a better idea if Hermione held the baby and Draco held the bags. Which at the moment consisted of four bags in total. Thinking smartly Hermione had put her hair up in a pony tail.
" Besides your only complaining because your spending money for things that are not for you and because you have to carry the bags yourselves. Your acting like a human being. Oh the torture. "
" So? I never had to do this before. Knew this kid would be nothing but trouble. " Said Draco. " And you stop giving me that look. It's the truth. Don't be such a baby. " He said at Juniors look of displeasure, from the comment Draco had made.
" Well of course he is acting like a baby. He is a baby stupid ! " Hermione said laughing.
" Right. Forgot that minor detail. "
" Duh! Can I say old man ? "
" OLD MAN ?????!!!! Would an old man have this perfect skin ? Beautiful hair ? This sexy body ?! I think not."
" Again with the big head. Get a life where it doesn't include you complimenting yourself."
" Then what's the point of living ? "
" Oh please. Your kidding me ? "
Draco shook his head no.
" Your not kidding me. " She said shaking her head along with him.
" I'm not. Never had to care for anyone else but me. Well there's my mum but that's a different story. "
Hermione looked at him straight in the eyes.
" Well you do now. So hurry and get a life. " She then turned her head to rest her eyes on Junior who was smiling waving his hands in the air. Draco followed her eyes to also rest on Junior and took a sharp intake of air.
It was true. He was no longer alone. It wasn't Draco anymore. It was Draco and Junior. He looked at Hermione who had her finger in Junior's grasp smiling brightly at the baby. Laughing Hermione directed her smile on Draco.
It was Draco, Junior and Hermione.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
" Anyways we have to buy clothes, a stroller, blankets, all the fun stuff. Then we can go back. " Hermione said taking charge once again.
" Thank god. Let's hurry up and finish so we can go. " Drawled a tired...hungry Draco.
" Alright. Alright. We'll go buy the clothes first. Then we'll buy all the furniture and other stuff later " Hermione said as she walked into yet another baby store.
" Then I sleep and never wake up. " Draco said following in after Hermione.
Hermione thought it best not to answer that question right now.
" Right ? "
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
" I would like to take this moment to mention that we have no idea what we are going to do with all this stuff. " Said Draco, holding a sleeping Junior in his arms.
Hermione and Draco were walking around the store looking at the various clothing" Yes we do. As much as I dislike it, there is no other way" Hermione said as she nervously bit her lip.
" An idea? " Draco asked skeptically.
"Just hear me out first. No interruptions. No asking questions. NO yelling like a crazy man."
" Me ? A crazy man ? Oh, please. I have never acted in such a manner. "
" Oh really ? I do recall many moments in which you have. In fact, take this morning for instance. "
" This morning ? "
" Remember ? ' Granger !!!!!! ' You nearly brought the whole school down." Hermione said holding up a tiny light blue sweatershirt for Draco to see.
" That was a special case. You made me angry " Draco he said, giving her a thumbs down to say he didn't like it.
So Hermione naturally put it in the basket she held along with several sleepers, beanies, a couple of blankets, and socks.
" Opposed to all the other times I made you mad and you yelled at me. Nice case you present. Like I was saying, Junior is going to take my room and ...I'm moving into yours. " She said as she found several different colored shirts and pants.
" No ! You can't do that! It's my room. I don't want to share it with a ..with ..."
" A mudblood. " She said void of any emotion in her voice. He looked at her by his side not sure what to say. She just stared at him trying to be strong, to show that she was unaffected by the words. She was lying.
"No. Not a mudblood. " A tiny smile crept onto her face. " But a stupid Gryffindor. "
Whack !
" Ow! Abuse! Abuse ! " Draco cried over dramatically.
" Aww poor baby. " Hermione said unsympathetic. " Want me to make it better ? "
" Well you better. Your the one who caused it. " Said Draco.
Now when she said that she would make it better, the word kiss, ran through Draco's head.
Whack !
Obviously they had different ways of expressing comfort.
" Wow. That really did help. I feel better already. " Said Hermione.
" I'm sure you do, but this lump on my head has another opinion. " Draco said obviously grouchy.
" Tsk. Tsk. So negative. That can't be healthy. "
" Argh! Your driving me crazy. "
" Then my life has not been in vain.
" I'm sure it hasn't. " Draco said.
" Awwww ! Isn't this the cutest ? " Hermione was holding up a little crimson footsie pajama. " Perfect for him. Already the little Gryffindor. "
" Already the little Gryffindor. " Draco said mocking Hermione. " I think not. No child of mine will be some Gryffindor. He will be in Slytherin. Every Malfoy has been in Slytherin for as long as I can remember. "
" Well family traditions are meant to be broken. "
" Not this one. Just wait and see. He will be in Slytherin."
" Gryffindor. "
" Slytherin. "
" Gryffindor ! "
" Slytherin ! "
Their heads an inch away from each other, the two hot headed students faced each other. Neither willing to back down.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Five minutes later........
" My neck hurts. "
" My eyes sting. "
" Ready to back down. "
" Down count on it Draco. "
..................................................... ................................ .................
" My neck really does hurt though. "
" Truce ? "
" Truce. "
Sighing both Hermione and Draco pulled their heads away from each other. Hermione continued walking.
" Look, I'm sorry Draco. I shouldn't have argued with you like that. That was very immature of me and....Draco ? "
It was quiet.
:: cricket cricket ::
Too quiet.
:: hoot. hoot. cricket. cricket ::
Now that's just creepy.
Hermione turned around to find that Draco was gone.
" He's worse than a dog. Always running off to do who knows what. " Grumbled Hermione. ' Wonder if they sell leashes for human's ? Well there is that store, where the sell leashes, collars, whips....uhhhh did not just go there. Kinky Hermione. Just what I need. ' Thought Hermione, blushing at her non-virgin little thoughts.
" Now where did the buffon go now ? " She said glancing around the store.
' Just look for radioactive hair. Radioactive hair. Radioactive hair. Rad..ahhh bright light......Found him '
Draco was staring at a baby mannequin dressed in some outfit she couldn't make out.
" Probably a t-shirt that says ' I love evil. I am evil. ' " She said outloud. " Who knows, maybe there is a t-shirt for Draco that says ' Evil's proud father. ' "
Walking over to Draco, Hermione called out to him.
" Draco!...Draco!...oh for the love of...Draco!...Look at this guy. A fricken grandpa already....DRACO MALFOY ! "
She was now standing right next to him.
" Huh ? Why you yelling at me ? And she tells me not to act like a crazy man. Psh. She's a crazy woman herself. "
She had his attention now. From the glare she was getting from a tiny person, she had also caught Junior's too.
" Sorry about that baby. " She said softly.
Taking one last look...err...glare..Junior just cuddled up into Draco even more.
" Baby? I don't know about you but I'm not ready for the lovey dovey nicknames. I still prefer beaver and know it all if you don't mind. " Draco said smirking widely.
" Shut it ferret ! "
Draco frowned.
" Actually I change my mind. I like it better when you call me baby better. "
" In your dreams. " Hermione replied.
" But I could have sworn you just said it right now. "
" I know what I said ! " Snapped Hermione. Willing herself to calm down Hermione spoke again. " What was it that caught your attention so easily ? "
' Something evil I bet. ' She thought.
" That. " he said pointing to the mannequin.
" Oh crap. " Was all she said.
It was worse than evil.
There on the mannequin was a soft little quidditch outfit. Complete with look a like gloves and boots that were actually little mittens and booties. Oh, and of course it was green and silver just to top it off.
Draco turned to her with a look of a little boy who wanted to open his prestns on Christmas day.
Bouncing anxiously on the heels of his shoes Draco said, " I want it. I want it. I want it. "
" Your an idiot Draco. A silly idiot. "
Then she walked over to a worker and asked if they had it in a smaller size.

" Anyways we have to buy clothes, a stroller, blankets, all the fun stuff. Then we can go back. " Hermione said taking charge once again.
" Thank god. Let's hurry up and finish so we can go. " Drawled a tired...hungry Draco.
" Alright. Alright. We'll go buy the clothes first. Then we'll buy all the furniture and other stuff later " Hermione said as she walked into yet another baby store.
" Then I sleep and never wake up. " Draco said following in after Hermione.
Hermione thought it best not to answer that question right now.
" Right ? "

" I would like to take this moment to mention that we have no idea what we are going to do with all this stuff. " Said Draco, holding a sleeping Junior in his arms.
Hermione and Draco were walking around the store looking at the various clothing" Yes we do. As much as I dislike it, there is no other way" Hermione said as she nervously bit her lip.
" An idea? " Draco asked skeptically.
"Just hear me out first. No interruptions. No asking questions. NO yelling like a crazy man."
" Me ? A crazy man ? Oh, please. I have never acted in such a manner. "
" Oh really ? I do recall many moments in which you have. In fact, take this morning for instance. "
" This morning ? "
" Remember ? ' Granger !!!!!! ' You nearly brought the whole school down." Hermione said holding up a tiny light blue sweatershirt for Draco to see.
" That was a special case. You made me angry " Draco he said, giving her a thumbs down to say he didn't like it.
So Hermione naturally put it in the basket she held along with several sleepers, beanies, a couple of blankets, and socks.
" Opposed to all the other times I made you mad and you yelled at me. Nice case you present. Like I was saying, Junior is going to take my room and ...I'm moving into yours. " She said as she found several different colored shirts and pants.
" No ! You can't do that! It's my room. I don't want to share it with a ..with ..."
" A mudblood. " She said void of any emotion in her voice. He looked at her by his side not sure what to say. She just stared at him trying to be strong, to show that she was unaffected by the words. She was lying.
"No. Not a mudblood. " A tiny smile crept onto her face. " But a stupid Gryffindor. "
Whack !
" Ow! Abuse! Abuse ! " Draco cried over dramatically.
" Aww poor baby. " Hermione said unsympathetic. " Want me to make it better ? "
" Well you better. Your the one who caused it. " Said Draco.
Now when she said that she would make it better, the word kiss, ran through Draco's head.
Whack !
Obviously they had different ways of expressing comfort.
" Wow. That really did help. I feel better already. " Said Hermione.
" I'm sure you do, but this lump on my head has another opinion. " Draco said obviously grouchy.
" Tsk. Tsk. So negative. That can't be healthy. "
" Argh! Your driving me crazy. "
" Then my life has not been in vain.
" I'm sure it hasn't. " Draco said.
" Awwww ! Isn't this the cutest ? " Hermione was holding up a little crimson footsie pajama. " Perfect for him. Already the little Gryffindor. "
" Already the little Gryffindor. " Draco said mocking Hermione. " I think not. No child of mine will be some Gryffindor. He will be in Slytherin. Every Malfoy has been in Slytherin for as long as I can remember. "
" Well family traditions are meant to be broken. "
" Not this one. Just wait and see. He will be in Slytherin."
" Gryffindor. "
" Slytherin. "
" Gryffindor ! "
" Slytherin ! "
Their heads an inch away from each other, the two hot headed students faced each other. Neither willing to back down.

Five minutes later........
" My neck hurts. "
" My eyes sting. "
" Ready to back down. "
" Down count on it Draco. "
..................................................... ................................ .................
" My neck really does hurt though. "
" Truce ? "
" Truce. "
Sighing both Hermione and Draco pulled their heads away from each other. Hermione continued walking.
" Look, I'm sorry Draco. I shouldn't have argued with you like that. That was very immature of me and....Draco ? "
It was quiet.
:: cricket cricket ::
Too quiet.
:: hoot. hoot. cricket. cricket ::
Now that's just creepy.
Hermione turned around to find that Draco was gone.
" He's worse than a dog. Always running off to do who knows what. " Grumbled Hermione. ' Wonder if they sell leashes for human's ? Well there is that store, where the sell leashes, collars, whips....uhhhh did not just go there. Kinky Hermione. Just what I need. ' Thought Hermione, blushing at her non-virgin little thoughts.
" Now where did the buffon go now ? " She said glancing around the store.
' Just look for radioactive hair. Radioactive hair. Radioactive hair. Rad..ahhh bright light......Found him '
Draco was staring at a baby mannequin dressed in some outfit she couldn't make out.
" Probably a t-shirt that says ' I love evil. I am evil. ' " She said outloud. " Who knows, maybe there is a t-shirt for Draco that says ' Evil's proud father. ' "
Walking over to Draco, Hermione called out to him.
" Draco!...Draco!...oh for the love of...Draco!...Look at this guy. A fricken grandpa already....DRACO MALFOY ! "
She was now standing right next to him.
" Huh ? Why you yelling at me ? And she tells me not to act like a crazy man. Psh. She's a crazy woman herself. "
She had his attention now. From the glare she was getting from a tiny person, she had also caught Junior's too.
" Sorry about that baby. " She said softly.
Taking one last look...err...glare..Junior just cuddled up into Draco even more.
" Baby? I don't know about you but I'm not ready for the lovey dovey nicknames. I still prefer beaver and know it all if you don't mind. " Draco said smirking widely.
" Shut it ferret ! "
Draco frowned.
" Actually I change my mind. I like it better when you call me baby better. "
" In your dreams. " Hermione replied.
" But I could have sworn you just said it right now. "
" I know what I said ! " Snapped Hermione. Willing herself to calm down Hermione spoke again. " What was it that caught your attention so easily ? "
' Something evil I bet. ' She thought.
" That. " he said pointing to the mannequin.
" Oh crap. " Was all she said.
It was worse than evil.
There on the mannequin was a soft little quidditch outfit. Complete with look a like gloves and boots that were actually little mittens and booties. Oh, and of course it was green and silver just to top it off.
Draco turned to her with a look of a little boy who wanted to open his prestns on Christmas day.
Bouncing anxiously on the heels of his shoes Draco said, " I want it. I want it. I want it. "
" Your an idiot Draco. A silly idiot. "
Then she walked over to a worker and asked if they had it in a smaller size.
