A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews and hopefully there's more to come! Florida was amazing, and what's more amazing is the tan I got! Hopefully it will last me until summer!

Again, I'm sorry for not updating for like 2.5 months. I'll give you guys a quick summary on what has happened so far so you guys don't have to go back to read. Basically Hermione is unemployed and after much convincing from Ginny she agreed to be a nanny. She happened to be nanny for Draco Malfoy's son, Scorpius. Scorpius didn't like other nannies because all they did was hit on his dad, Draco. However, he liked Hermione because he saw how mean Draco treats Hermione so figuring that since his dad was mean to Hermione, Hermione would not like Draco and paid more attention to him. Last chapter ended off with Draco telling Hermione that his parents will be coming over for dinner.

Chapter 4 – Midnight visit

Hermione constantly glanced at the clock nervously, it read 6:45pm. She took one look at herself in the mirror. She wore skinny jeans with a peach pullover cardigan sweater.

"Scorpius, are you ready?" Hermione called as she made her way over to his room. Scorpius stepped out of the room wearing black slacks and a white shirt tucked into his pants. Hermione gaped at how cute the little boy was, and at the same time, how he is a splitting image of Draco.

"Twinkie dressed me!" Scorpius said, "But I picked out the shirt! I wanted to look like daddy."

Hermione smiled warmly at him, "I have to say you look better." She patted his head.

"Misses, its 6:47." Twinkie said nervously.

"I'm sure Draco won't mind 2 minutes of lateness!" Hermione frowned but saw that Twinkie looked nervous, "I suppose I better get down there then."

Hermione took Scorpius by the hand and led him downstairs to the dining room. The moment she stepped foot inside, she met an angry Draco.

"Late." He simply said, "I told you to be here 15 minutes before 7." Astoria stood by the fireplace, looking absolutely stunning in her eveningwear. Draco had on black dress slacks with a light green buttoned up top that was tucked into his slacked. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows neatly and his hair was slightly sleeked back. Hermione suddenly felt extremely underdressed, and Draco apparently thought so too.

"Late and dressed like a commoner." Draco's eyes darkened, "Must I remind you that you're having dinner with my parents?"

"I just thought…as a nanny I am in no right to dress as if I am an equal." Hermione quickly said hoping what she said might make Draco less mad, even if that means degrading herself.

Draco paused for a bit and raised his eyebrows while Hermione held her breath. Suddenly, Astoria let out a loud laugh.

"Well, she got that right." Astoria smirked. A small smiled played upon Draco's lips when he heard Astoria's comment.

"I think nanny Hermione looks pretty." Scorpius beamed. Draco looked at him with amusement in his eyes.

"What about mommy?" Astoria gave a light laugh.

"You always dress up." Scorpius simply said. Astoria's smile faltered a bit before she rolled her eyes and stalked out of the room.

"You have 2 minutes to go change." Draco demanded, "You are not to wear anything like this ever again when guests are present, especially in front of my parents."

"I didn't bring any dresses." Hermione pointed out. Draco glared at her as if she was the most stupid person ever for not packing a dress.

"Do you even own a dress?" Draco sneered, "Because you know, if you wear one once in a while it might help you get laid. It will emphasize your….feminism." Draco gave her a one-two look over, "If there is any there that is."

Hermione opened her mouth to retort but heard a pop in the foyer. Draco's eyes widened before he grabbed Hermione by the arms roughly and hauled her to the adjacent room.

"Go wear your witch robe from Hogwarts." Draco whispered quickly, "I will have Twinkie put a set on your bed by the time you get to your room. It won't look the best, but it beats this." He gestured to her outfit.

"Are you kidding me?" Hermione crossed her arms, "I am not changing. There is nothing wrong with what I'm wearing."

"Do as I say or you'll be fired," Draco shot her a dirty look, "And we both know how much you need this job."

Hermione shot him a dirty look before she turned and quickly made her way to her room.


Draco smoothed down his robes and reappeared in the dining room.

"Mother! Father!" Draco greeted with a stunning smile.

"Where were you darling?" Narcissa asked as she saw him from the other room.

"Oh just dealing with the house elves." Draco shrugged his shoulders, "Here, have a seat."

"Where's your nanny?" Lucius asked with a smirk, "Another one of the leggy ones?"

"I assure you she is not." Astoria smiled sweetly, "In fact, she's complete opposite. She is no trouble at all."

"Got to keep an eye on Draco eh?" Lucius winked at Astoria, "He's a handsome devil. Girls will be out to steal him."

"Oh I know." Astoria gave Draco a look, "But this nanny is not attractive at all. She's hardly wears makeup, dress herself up and in fact, Draco has disdainful feelings towards her since Hogwarts. Am I right dear?"

Draco clenched his fist tightly. He didn't like Granger one bit, but Astoria didn't need to bash her that much in front of his parents.

"She's excellent with Scorpius." Draco replied instead, "That's all that matters." Astoria shot him a dirty look.

"Ya! Nanny Hermione is very nice!" Scorpius piped in. Lucius' head snapped at Draco.

"Hermione? As in Hermione Granger?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, "The girl that was in the Golden Trio? She's a nanny now?"

"Yes."

"You're letting a mud-muggleborn handle our grandson?" Lucius spat. Just on cut, Hermione entered the room wearing her black Hogwarts robe.

"Sorry I'm late." Hermione shot Draco a dirty look.

"Always trying to make a grand entrance Granger?" Lucius sneered, "This isn't Hogwarts anymore. Serving in the Malfoy manor means being punctual and never late. I am surprised at you, being the top witch and all in school…"

Hermione opened her mouth to retaliate but saw Draco giving her a warning look.

"Sorry, I was finding something appropriate to wear." Hermione said.

"Of all things you can find, you ended up wearing Hogwarts robes? Are you trying to live in the past or something?" Lucius smirked, "Just because you're a nobody now…"

Astoria had a smug look on her face, which clearly indicated that she was enjoying this conversation.

"Let's sit and eat." Draco quickly said before things for out of hand, "I had the elves whip up something superb for us tonight!" Draco said, trying to sound cheerful. Dinner conversation was a bore to Hermione as she tried to pay attention to all the gossip and politics that are passed around the table.

"Pansy did what?" Narcissa exclaimed.

"I'm not joking Mrs. Malfoy!" Astoria clearly seemed to enjoy talking crap about Pansy, "She sent Draco a letter yesterday asking him to meet her a private bar."

"I'd keep an eye on her." Narcissa said, "That girl has no shame at all!" Astoria nodded and gave Draco a smile.

"Are you expecting a second child soon?" Lucius asked after the meal was finished. Astoria sat back and narrowed her eyes before quickly flashing a bright smile.

"Oh, we haven't talked about that yet." Astoria patted Draco's hands, "Scorpius will definitely be the heir of the Malfoy fortune, so I don't see a need to have another child!" Draco shot Astoria look.

"Perhaps we might." Draco said, flashing his parents a smile, "It was such a joy to have Scorpius. It's a possibility that Astoria can help bring me more joy in life." Astoria scowled which caused Hermione to smile.

"Granddaddy, nanny Hermione taught me how to count to ten in French!" Scorpius boosted.

"Really? Let's hear." Lucius focused his attention on Scorpius who started to count in French.

The rest of the dinner flew by quickly and soon it was time for his parents to retire back to their house.

"It was great meeting you." Narcissa smiled warmly at Hermione, which caught her off guard.

"I wish I could say the same." Lucius said stiffly before they apparated away.

"I'm heading off to bed Draco." Astoria faked a yawn Draco barely acknowledged her as he headed towards the stairs. Hermione picked up Scorpius and got him ready for bed.

"Nanny Hermione, I'm not tired." Scorpius yawned widely.

"Well, why don't you just lie down here then and I'll read you a story." Hermione lifted him onto his bed. She walked over to the small shelf and picked out a book, but by the time she reached his bed, he was sound asleep. She chuckled at the sight and brought the blanket up to his neck. She then heard footsteps outside.

Funny, isn't everyone usually in their rooms by now? Hermione placed the book down and quietly slipped out of Scorpius' room.

She saw Draco's retreating back in the foyer downstairs speaking to what she deemed to be a patronus.

"I'll be there soon Blaise." Draaco said to the patronus, "Yes, I know, I'll meet you in front of the Three Broomsticks." Hermione wondered where he was going at this hour and if Astoria knew. Soon after Draco apparated away, Hermione waited a few seconds before she followed.
