Chapter nine

Realizations

The next day Hermione and Draco woke to find themselves in the same position they had fell asleep in the night before, Hermione was lay on the edge of the couch with Draco curled up beside her. They had fallen asleep whilst Draco was crying about everything he had never known. When Hermione realized Draco was awake she said;

"Are you okay this morning Draco?"

"Yeah I am okay just a bit embarrassed at crying all over you, I'm a man I am meant to be the strong one."

"You received a massive shock yesterday, plus it's ok to cry, it's healthy, you'd go mad otherwise. Did you know crying flushes toxins out of the body?" Hermione said reverting back to the Bookworm she had always been.

"I know all this but still everything that curse made my father teach me is still embedded onto my brain and I can't seem to unlearn them." Draco admitted.

"It's going to take time it has been a lot to take in. You can't expect to change your whole childhood overnight but I promise I will try to help you as best I can." Hermione said putting her arms around Draco's shoulders.

"Ok now can you move because these two are squeezing my bladder like it's a toy." Hermione said laughing.

After Hermione had attended to her problem Draco realized that they had yet to think of names for the twins. They couldn't call them girl baby and boy baby for the whole year. So when Hermione emerged from the bathroom he said;

"You do realize that we haven't named the babies yet and there due in two weeks." Draco said smiling.

"Oh my god your right!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Well it has been known to happen." Draco said chuckling. Hermione couldn't help joining in the laughter. "We both have a free period after lunch today so why don't we meet back up here and talk about it?" Draco suggested.

"Good idea but let's meet outside instead I am so fed up of being stuck inside." Hermione grumbled the pregnancy hormones surfacing again.

"Ok after lunch it is on the steps outside." Draco said as he picked up his schoolbag and brushed his hand across Hermione's abdomen before heading off to class.

Hermione stood there dazed for a few minutes relishing in the feel of his hand on her stomach where their babies were currently resting. Her heart started to pound as she kept repeating the feel of skin to skin contact. I'm obviously just hormonal. Hermione thought. That's it nothing more.

Little did Hermione know that right outside the portrait door Draco was stood thinking over what he had just done? It had felt so right and natural; he could still feel the softness of her belly on his hand. I must be tired from last night.

Throughout morning lessons neither the Gryffindor nor the Slytherin could get this morning's incident out of their heads. When lunch came they both ate quick dinner's whirls avoiding questions on where they were going and rushed out to the castles steps to meet.

Hermione found Draco sitting on the steps and sneaked up behind him placing her hands on his eyes and saying;

"Guess who."

"Why I do believe it is Hermione Granger! Who I heard coming from a mile away, you're really not the quietest sneak Mia." Draco laughed.

"Hey I was being extra sneaky!" Hermione huffed before bursting into laughter.

It was a while before they both stopped laughing and sat down to discuss baby names.

"I know these babies aren't real Draco but I don't want them stuck with an appalling name like Scorpius or something horrendous like that!"

"I agree Mia these kids need normal names so I was thinking if I choose the boys name and you the girls but we both have to not hate it ok?"

"Ok seems fair to me." Hermione smiled, and at that moment Draco realized he had never seen the beauty in Hermione's smile before the way her eyes lit up and her whole face seemed to brighten.

"How about calling the boy baby Sam-Ryan? I think it is simple but cute." Draco said.

"That's perfect Draco. Sam- Ryan Malfoy sounds cute." Hermione said smiling up at him.

"I think we should call the girl baby Lucy-Ann, that way the babies will have your father's name but not a copy. What do you think Draco?" At receiving no reply Hermione looked round at Draco who had tears in his eyes. "Oh Drake we don't have to do that if you don't want I just thought it would be nice."

Draco shook his head and pulled Hermione into a hug surprising her. "I think you're an amazing woman Hermione granger and I think that is a perfect name for our baby girl. The babies have my last name really?"

"I hope were not interrupting anything." Ron said sarcastically.

"Ron, I and Draco were just discussing baby names." Hermione said tired of his attitude.

"Well you don't see me and Harry discussing baby names with our partners!"

"That Ronald is not my problem just because I and Draco have decided to get along is none of your business."

'He just wants to get into your pants Hermione' Ron screamed at Hermione.

Just as Draco went to pull his wand on the ginger haired boy there was a flash of light, a puff of smoke and a squeal. When the smoke cleared there was a little weasel scurrying along the ground and Harry dressed as a very slutty women. It looks like the twins have preformed there first magic.

"It's either him or us Hermione you can't have both." The women version of Harry said.
