A/N: Hello readers, missed me?
Do you even remember of my existence?
Frankly speaking I had forgotten that I ever wrote.
Anyway, I've been busy with my end semester examinations and last month I was caught up with cultural events in my uni and … WORK.
So this was the least I could do.
Next time I post, I promise you with a longer and better chapter.
For now, this is it!
It was a Sunday morning when Draco woke up to something tickling his foot. His squinted eyes slowly opened whilst fighting the sunlight to find a very familiar brunette, sleeping in his bed.
His eyes widened when he realized that Hermione Granger was in his bed.
And it was her toe tickling his ankle.
Her face as well as her body was feet away from him which he was thankful about however her legs happened to be long enough to tangle with his very own.
He then gazed at the smaller body of his goddaughter who lay between the two and smiled as the baby peacefully slept on her tummy after the havoc she made last night. Then he remembered why Hermione ended up in his bed with Gina.
His goddaughter was casing a racket last night and as much as he and Hermione had tried to calm her down, they failed miserably. Gina then ended up playing with her godparents in the middle of the night in Draco's room and none of them realized that they had fallen asleep in the same bed.
Draco then shook his head and gazed dearly at Gina.
Her angelic face was showered with freckles, which shone under the sunlight, just her godmother's.
His eyes then fell on the brunette witch who slept peacefully Gina as her hand on the baby's back moved rhythmically along with the little girl's breathing. Her eyelashes nearly touched her freckled cheekbones while her tamed curls were spread all over the pillow.
And her skin which touched his feet was as soft as a baby's.
To Draco, Hermione Granger defined perfection early in the morning.
And he wouldn't mind watching her and Gina in his bed for the rest of his life.
I didn't just think about the beaver being in my bed! Draco's thoughts screamed which got him to reality. At an instant, he pushed the blankets away and caught a look at Hermione's bare waist, due to the riding up of her top.
That's Granger and not a tart you usually sleep with Malfoy! He internally scolded himself as his eyes diverted from the delicious view and he quietly padded away into the bathroom.
Hermione later woke up to an unfamiliar smell which came from the blanket lying on top of her and the pillows where her head was resting. She moaned and then saw her goddaughter staring back at her with her wide brown eyes as she tried to roll on her tummy.
"Hey sweetie, did you sleep okay?" the brunette cooed at the baby as she sat up and took Gina into her arms. "You seemed to be jumpy last night."
Gina giggled as Hermione placed a big kiss on her cheek and then bounced her gently in her arms. She then looked around and realized why the room seemed to be unfamiliar.
She was in Malfoy's bed!
Groaning to herself, Hermione glanced at the clock on the nightstand; it read 11:00 AM.
"Oh wow, we slept the whole morning Gina." Hermione said gently to the baby who found her godmother's curls fascinating to play with. "Let's hope your uncle ferret has made us some good breakfast."
Gina laughed as Hermione got onto her feet and slipped into her slippers under the bed. She walked into the kitchen, hoping that Malfoy had made her something for breakfast. That's the least he had been doing for Miss Granger for the past one week.
Every morning, Draco was the first to rise and every weekday happened to be his duty to make breakfast for Gina and Hermione. The brunette had taught him a few muggle breakfast dishes the last month, just for Gina' sake and Draco happily learned to cook in case he was left in charge of his goddaughter.
Hermione smiled in satisfaction when she found fresh waffles and fruits waiting for her on the kitchen island and a small bowl of porridge waiting for Gina on the high chair.
"Look what uncle ferret has made for us baby!" Hermione cooed and the baby squealed as she was sat on her high chair. "It's going to be yum!"
"Myum!" Gina exclaimed and giggled as Hermione shook her head and sat next to the high chair so that she could feed Gina.
"Granger, for the last time, stop calling me uncle ferret!" Hermione turned around to see Malfoy entering the kitchen with a scowl. He was dressed for the day in black trousers and blue shirt.
A rather well fitted blue shirt, Hermione thought to herself, eyeing at his upper half.
Draco's scowl turned into a smirk when he found the brunette looking hungrily at him. "Stop gawking Granger, I know I'm attractive." He said cockily and laughed as Hermione rolled her eyes and turned back to Gina.
"You wish." Hermione muttered and then took a spoonful of porridge to feed Gina.
"Hey, I know you're hungry beaver so do you mind if I feed my princess here?" The blonde asked her politely.
She couldn't resist but raise an eyebrow when he referred Gina as 'his princess'.
"Sure." Hermione sighed and allowed Draco to occupy the vacant place and feed Gina, who was giving her godfather a toothy grin.
Draco returned a courteous smile and sat down only to coo at the little girl, who giggled as he placed a big kiss on her cheek. "Let's get you fed; I'm sure your little tummy is growling like a lion."
The brunette merely rolled her eyes and sat down to fill up her own roaring stomach. "Stop making her like you more!" She playfully scolded the blonde as he fed Gina a spoonful of porridge.
"Well Granger, you seem jealous." Draco replied with a smirk and wiped off the porridge falling off Gina's mouth. "You don't see me complaining when you bathe her; you know how unsuccessful I am!" He further retorted.
"Well, I'm not the one who uses an adult's shampoo instead of the baby shampoo." Hermione said with a frown and took her breakfast from the island. "You should learn from me Malfoy."
"Only if you allow me to teach you how to flirt with older men." Draco said slyly, earning a frustrated groan from Hermione. "Seriously Granger, the way you flirt with that old man can make anyone feel stupid. Hell even I feel like laughing at you when-"
"Mind your tongue." Hermione cut him off sternly and then glanced at Gina, who was looking at her godfather; curiously.
Malfoy merely rolled his eyes and continued. "Anyway, you know what I mean."
Hermione glared at him and took a bite from her waffles. She knew with full confidence that Malfoy didn't poison it because when the last time he made the waffles, Blaise didn't even utter a word from the toilet seat and cursed the blonde for unintentionally poisoning his food. Taking pity on Draco, Hermione taught him the art of making perfect Belgian waffles.
"You've improved." She commented, taking another bite of her breakfast. "Make this for your girlfriend and she would smother you with chocolate and cream."
Draco sniggered and looked at her. "And do you guarantee that she'll lick them of my um-manly bits?" He asked her with a glint in his eyes and internally laughed as her face went beet red. "Do you mind cleaning it off me?" He further asked innocently.
It was when an owl started to shower the kitchen window with pecks.
Hermione growled and got up saying, "Why don't you suck it yourself Malfoy?"
Gina giggled at her godmother which amused Draco. "See, even she finds it funny." He said with a laugh as Hermione scowled and allowed the owl to deliver her the small note it was carrying.
"Yeah sure." Hermione said with an eye roll and allowed the owl to help himself with owl treats. "Who would want to send me a note from the Ministry early in the morning?" She wondered out loud.
"Maybe your old man." Draco sniggered and Gina decided to team up with him. It was when he noticed that Hermione had been rooted on her spot for almost a minute, not uttering a word about the note.
"Granger?" Draco asked softly, with concern in his voice. "Granger, what's-"
His words died off when Hermione turned around with a shocked red face and tears running down her face. She sniffed and looked at a curious Draco and Gina.
"Draco they-" She started with a quiver and then glanced at Gina. "Ginny and Blaise, they-"
"What Granger?" Draco asked as fear took over his emotions.
The brunette sobbed and said "The note is from Harry. Th-they found Ginny and Blaise's car on the highway and ev-everything was shattered. Dr-Draco they," She shuddered. "They died Draco. They're no more!"
A/N: As I said, a better and a longer chapter the next time because I'll be free for the next two months.
Maybe you might get a couple of early updates! ^^
For now, just R&R.
