Chapter 10
Dinner with the Potters
Draco went and answered the door. He was happy to see Harry and Ginny standing on his porch, but he was not happy to see…
"WEASLEY! What the hell is he doing here?"
"I'm so sorry Draco. He followed us here. Mum's on her way to get him as we speak. Ah, here she is now. I guess we're going to have to put an anti-apparition jinx on the house."
Mrs. Weasley walked up to the house and immediately started in on Ron.
"Ronald Weasley, what on earth do you think you are doing here?"
"Coming to take Hermione home."
"Ron, do you really think she would do that? She is married to Mr. Malfoy now! Honestly, I don't know what goes through that head of yours sometimes! What is wrong with your head?"
Just then Hermione walked into the room. She blatantly ignored Ron's presence. Draco, should we tell them the news?"
"I guess now is just as good a time as any."
"What news Hermione? Is everything ok? You look paler than usual."
"Yes, everything is fine. We weren't going to tell anyone for a little while but I decided now is the right time to tell you guys."
"What is it dear?"
Hermione could tell by the expression on Mrs. Weasley's face that she was very worried.
"Draco and I are having a baby. I just found out this morning."
Ron's face turned beet red.
"Congratulations Hermione, we're all so happy for you and Draco. When is the baby due?"
"I am three weeks along, so about thirty-seven weeks."
Ron stood stock still, face now bordering on purple. Then he started screaming and launched himself at Draco.
"You got her pregnant? How could you do this? You ruined my Hermione! You ruined her you bastard! How could you do this to me Hermione? I loved you and you threw it all away for what? For Malfoy, the pureblood fucking Prince!"
Hermione gave Ron an evil glare and turned to Mrs. Weasley.
"Thank you for everything, Molly. I'm sorry I had to tell you the news under these circumstances, but I will owl you soon. For now though, can you please get him out of my sight and out of our house?"
"Of course, dear. I'll look for your owl to arrive in a few days, alright? Now come on you. We're taking you somewhere so you can't pull this stunt again. It's off to St. Mungo's for you."
"Draco, Hermione I am so sorry about all of that."
Harry snorted back a laugh and then looked at Draco.
"I'm sorry for that prat's behavior too. But hey, congratulations on the impending fatherhood mate! We couldn't be happier for you, could we Ginny?"
"No, we couldn't. Anyways, we have news of our own don't we Harry?"
"I guess so. But I thought-"
"Oh please, Harry, let me tell them."
"Ok, since your mother already knows it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world knows as well."
"Oh stop it. Anyways, we are having a baby too. I am two weeks along so we are moving the wedding up so I will still fit in my dress. Is it ok if we get married in four months instead of seven?"
"I don't see why not. It's not like it will take forever to plan the wedding, all the details are almost finished. And it's not like you have to cancel a church or hall, you're having the wedding here and I can magically modify the invitations for you."
"Thank you Hermione."
"No problem, Ginny. I'm so happy for you."
"I'm happy for you too."
Draco looked at Harry and grinned.
"Well, I suppose that means that we are going to be daddies at about the same time. Congratulations Harry."
"Thanks mate. You two must be our baby's god parents."
"Same here, mate. But now if you don't mind, let's eat."
They went into the dining room and had roast beef cooked to perfection, potatoes, gravy, carrots, and corn. For dessert, Draco had made a tremendously delicious pudding. They spent the night eating, laughing and talking and they enjoyed each other's company so much that they did not part company until the wee hours of the morning when the sky turns purple and the stars shine brighter than any other time during the night.
"Good night you two, be safe going home."
"Oh don't worry, we will."
"We must get together again soon. How about next week at our house at the same time?"
"Sounds good to me, are you in Draco?"
"As long as Weasley won't be there and even if he is, of course I'm in… we'll just keep him in a different room."
The four of them laughed and headed for the door. Then Draco stopped and looked at Harry and Ginny.
"You know, why don't you apparate from inside? I took down the anti-apparition charms that father put up. That way Ginny can apparate in when she comes for her meetings with Hermione. Besides that, it's freezing out there."
"Alright, thank you Draco. And thanks again for dinner you two, it was wonderful. Good night."
And with that Ginny and Harry turned on the spot and left. It was time for bed again.
A/N: Ok, so this is a little shorter than I thought it was going to be, but I think it is funny. Also, please leave a review on the way out. I would like to know what you guys are thinking about my story. Thanks to all of you who have added my story to your favorites, it means a lot to me. The next chapter should be a little longer, but no promises. Keep in mind that I wrote all of this in a notebook first. And I have made a lot of revisions. Right now I have up to chapter 21 done, I don't know how many chapters there will be after that, but it will be at least ten. Thanks for reading, enjoy and please review.
