Forced Into Running
Chapter 7: Catching up
Draco was in Alex's room looking around. He noted that he really liked dragons and his favourite colour was green. His room wasn't big but wasn't small either. He had a medium seized bed in the centre of the room, green painted walls with red dragons on them, a green carpet and he had a wooden wardrobe. On the walls he had shelves with books on them and he had some toys scattered on the floor. Right now Alex was with his mother shopping. When he looked at the clock he noticed that it was noon and he had to get some stuff from his apartment. So Draco quickly aperated to his shared apartment. When he arrived he saw Arm sitting on the sofa with his girlfriend watching TV.
"Amr can I talk to you?" he asked him. Amr looked up and saw Draco there. He quickly nodded his head, got up and made his way over to them.
"Did you find her?" he asked him
"Yeah I did and I'm going to move in" he told him. When Amr heard what he said his jaw dropped
"Really?" he asked him
"No it's a joke. Of course it's real" Draco said getting annoyed. "Listen I'm gonna grab a few things then head back kk?" he said
"Yeah sure. I'll be in the living room" Amr said as he went back to where he was before. Draco quickly went inside his room and started packing some stuff. Once he got everything he needed he shrunk them and put them in his pocket. After that he went back to the living room.
"Amr I'm gonna leave" he said. Amr quickly got up and gave him a brotherly hug. "This place is yours now" he told him once they broke apart.
"Thanks man. This place is always here if you need it" he told him. Draco simply nodded and aperated back to the house. When he looked around he saw Hermione putting her car keys on the table and he also noted that he was behind her. As she turned around she let out a scream.
"Damn it Malfoy. You scared me" she said as she hit his arm
"Sorry" he said with a laugh "Just came back from my place. I got some off my stuff" he said
"Okay. Listen I'm gonna go and see Harry and Ron. I haven't seen them since I left. I was wondering if you could stay here with Alex" she said
"Sure I would love too. Where is he?" he asked her
"In his room. I'm gonna leave now. If you need anything just call me I have my number on the refrigerator" she told him
"KK. Good luck" he said with a smile
"Thanks I'm gonna need it" she said as she disappeared with a pop. When she was gone he went up the stairs to Alex's room. He saw him on his bed looking at the ceiling.
"Hey big guy" he said as he made his way over to him. At the sound of his father's voice Alex immediately shot up from bed and grinned at his father.
"Hi daddy. Where's mommy?" he asked him
"She went to visit her friends. Now you get to spend some time with me. How about we play some games?" Draco suggested
"Okay. Come on daddy let's play video games" Alex said as he dragged Draco to the Living Room. When they reached it Draco sat down on the couch and saw Alex setting everything up. After he was finished he gave him something to hold and told him what to do. "Daddy this thing is to move the thing with. X is to jump" he said
"Okay. What are we playing?" he asked him
"We're playing Need for speed" Alex said as the game started. They spend hours playing and having fun while Hermione was stuck explaining to her friends.
Meanwhile at the Burrow
When Hermione opened her eyes she saw most of Weasely family sitting around the table eating lunch. She started to walk towards them when she heard a bloody shriek from behind her. When she turned around she saw the youngest Weasely looking at her in shock.
"H…Hermione?" she asked
"Um…yeah" Hermione answered weakly. By that time everyone looked there way and their jaws all dropped to the floor
"Oh my God. How are you?" Ginny asked as she gave her a sisterly hug
"I'm fine" she said as she returned the hug. When they broke apart she saw Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Molly all looking at her. "Hi guys. It's been a long time" she said
"Bloody hell it has. Where were you Hermione? Why did you leave?" yelled Ron
"Ron calm down. Let her explain" said Harry "How have you been Hermione?" he asked her as he hugged her.
"I've been doing okay" she said as they broke the hug. Soon after everyone hugged her including Ron.
"Sorry about yelling at you" he apologised as he looked at the ground
"It's okay Ron" she said with a small smile
"Come on dear. Have lunch with us" said Molly Weasely as she made her way over to the table followed by the others. They spend the rest of the afternoon catching up on old times. Hermione told them why she had to leave but she didn't tell them about Alex. She had learned that Ginny and Harry had gotten married two years ago and Ron was dating Luna. Right now Harry, Ron and Ginny where sitting on the sofa talking to Hermione.
"Guys I have something very important to tell you" she told them. They all looked at her curiously and told her to continue. "I left something important about what happened to me. The day I left I found out I was pregnant." She told them
"D…did you… you know" Harry said
"Oh heavens no. I raised him on my own and he's back home. He's four years old and his name is Alexander James Malfoy. He looks exactly like his father and has my temper" she said with a laugh
"Who's watching over him right now?" asked Ginny
"Draco" she said causing them to look at her strangely "He found me this morning and Alex told him to move in with us so he's staying with us." She said
"Oh" was all they could say
"Wish I could see the little guys" Harry said
"How about you come over for dinner next Friday?" she asked
"That would be great" Harry said as he smiled at her
"You guys are coming right?" she asked them
"Yeah" Ron and Ginny said
"Listen I have to go now. Nice seeing you" she said as she got up
"Glad that you came" Ron said. She gave them all hugs before she aperated away. When she reached her home she noticed that it was ten o'clock. She made her way over to the Living Room to find no one there. So she quickly went to Alex's room. What she saw made her smile. Draco and Alex where fast asleep in Alex's bed. Draco had his arm protectively around Alex while Alex was holding his hand. Hmm. Guess he got attached to Draco. She thought with a smile. She slowly made her way over to them and kissed Alex on the forehead while she kissed Draco on the cheek. After that she went to her room, got changed into her night clothes and fell asleep with a happy image in her mind.
