BTW wallflower…yes…my story is very random and I like it that way!
So…here it goes. You all better appreciate this…I'll be working through dinner for you guys & working on my civics project during English class tomorrow instead of tonight! (not like I can access my school files through my dad's computer anyways)

Another BTW!!! I don't care if some of you think they're moving fast. They'll deny it if anyone asks them, and who knows, they might get into a fight or something...hint hint...nudge nudge...wink wink!

If you've forgotten any of the groups, here they are!

Neville Longbottom & Luna Lovegood

Hannah Abbott & Seamus Finnegan

Jenna Hilliard & Blaise Zabini

Chapter 10

I watched as the doll began to gain more life-like features. It grew tufts of chocolate brown hair, and it's eyes turned a stormy grey colour like Malfoy's. It's skin was pale, but it's cheeks were kind of rosy in colour. The "baby" started to cry.

"Oh shit," Malfoy said. He looked almost as though he'd seen a ghost.

"And you obviously know nothing about babies, do you Malfoy?"

"I know...something," he stammered.

"Sure you do." I reached over and picked up the 'baby'. I held it in my arms. All the baby wore was a nappy and with a quick glance around the classroom I saw that only one of the other groups had picked up their babies. Jenna was holding her baby in her arms and cooing softly. She had managed to calm him or her down in a matter of seconds.

"Thank Merlin I babysit during the summer," she whispered.

"Can you calm it down Hermione?" Malfoy looked at me with a questionable raise of the eyebrow.

"I'll do my best," I replied. I had babysat my cousin Marnie a few times and I had changed her nappy once or twice so I was at least better off than Malfoy.

I looked deep into the baby's eyes.

"Shh," I said calmly. "It's alright sweetie, I'm here for you."

"What about me? You couldn't mention my name anywhere is that sentence?"

"You're not helping me are you?"

"But It's still half mine!"

I turned my attention back to the baby an noticed pink lettering on the nappy. It said 'It's a girl.'

"You're a cute little girl aren't you?" I smiled at the baby, and tickled her tummy. She stopped crying and giggled.

"How do you know that thing is a girl? Why is it that you know everything?"

"It's on the diaper Malfoy." I stated bluntly.

"Oh."

"Class, listen up!" Magonogal got our attention, and except for the cries of the new Finnegan and Longbottom babies, all was silent. "You are to spend the rest of today in your new rooms to get properly acquainted with your new additions to your temporary families. Gather your books and your 'children' and follow me."

"Malfoy..."

"I've got your books Hermione, let's go." I moved the baby so that her head rested in my right elbow, and the rest of her fragile frame lay on my interlocked arms. We followed Professor Magonogal up to the Seventh floor and over to where a cherry-wood door had been last night. Now, there was a thick oak door labelled 'Muggle Studies Residence'.

"This door will only open to you. Simply rest your hand upon the door and it will open. Mr. Finnegan, seeing as Miss. Abbott has her hands full at the moment, could you demonstrate?"

"Um...sure," Seamus walked up to the door. He hesitated for a moment, then placed a shaking hand on the door. It creaked open, and Seamus pushed it the rest of the way open.

Past the door was a large common room. There was a blue love seat, a red couch with gold stitching, a green and silver squashy one person chair and by a large window on the wall opposite us was a second couch, this one yellow with a sickening black floral pattern winding its way around the cushions and arm rests. The first three pieces of furniture were clustered about the large fireplace. The walls were merely stone, with a house banner on each, and around the room were four doors. Each door had gold and silver writing, proclaiming the names of the students to which the door belonged. The first two doors were labelled Finnegan and Zabini, whereas the second two doors on the wall directly opposite the common-room entrance were labelled Longbottom and Malfoy. Our door was the one to the right of the one labelled Longbottom, and the room closest to the fireplace.

"I must depart now," Magonogal announced. "There are nappies, wipes, clothes etcetera in each of the nurseries, formula and other foods in the cupboards and fridge. There is a stove and an assortment of muggle appliances in the kitchens as well. You may find it easier to simply cook and eat all of your meals in your dorms, so feel free. Your cupboards will be stocked weekly as will your nappy and formula supply and other things. Since you have Muggle studies first class every morning, I will tell you now that this right here is Muggle Studies, your family life unit. You only must appear for your other classes during the day which I believe start at nine in the morning. Use this extra time to feed, change and clothe your little ones. Bring a supply of nappies in your school bags to class because there won't be enough time to run all the way up here between classes. Have a good day, and do remember that getting a good grade in this class depends almost entirely on this project. It does after all count for one third of your overall grade. Bye!"

Magonogal left the room swiftly and Malfoy opened the door to our temporary residence. Through this door was a medium sized room that I swear I had seen before. The walls were grey stone, and there was a Queen sized bed against the wall to my left. On the opposing wall was the open bathroom door. I went to investigate.

"Hermione, doesn't it seem like you've been here before?" Malfoy asked me.

"Yeah, it kind of does," I replied. The bathroom was just over ten feet deep with a tub-based shower, white curtain, and a rack of fluffy blue towels next to it. There was a stone sink to my right also. I turned around, and walked back into the bedroom.

"Hey, Hermione," Malfoy pulled me to the other side of a door to the left of the bed.

There was a sturdy looking oak crib complete with pink sheets, a changing table that had its' shelves heavily stocked with nappies, rash cream and wipes. On top of the dresser that stood next to the change table were multiple bottles. Malfoy opened each drawer and I did a mental inventory.

Top Drawer: booties, socks, and baby nighties

2nd Drawer: Pants, over-alls and jumpers (dresses)

3rd Drawer: Dresses, T-shirt like things that snap under the nappy, shirts

Bottom Drawer: Sweaters and a rain jacket

On the light green carpeted floor, there lay a folded baby blanket and a teddy bear.

"Let's check the kitchen Hermione…you got her to sleep!"

"Did I?" I looked down and realised that she was nestled against me, her body being supported by my arms. "You know, we're going to have to cal her something other than it, her and the baby."

"Now?" Malfoy almost whined.

"Yes now Malfoy."

"Kay then, what about…I dunno…Lillian or Rosalie?"

"I like Rosalie."

"Rosalie, I like that name. Hi little Rose," Malfoy whispered. "She smells funny."

"She needs a change. Come on." I pulled Malfoy over to the change table and placed Rosalie's sleeping frame on the cushioned table. She didn't stir at all as I reached down and pulled the wipes and a nappy from the shelf underneath.

I collapsed on the Queen sized bed and shut my eyes. I was asleep in a minute.

Draco's POV

Hermione lay on top of the bed sheets in her robes and shoes. I quietly untied her laces and pulled the covers over her. Rosalie hadn't fallen asleep until after multiple changes, a couple of bottles and another change. I was exhausted, but decided to check in on Blaise. I walked out into the common room, careful to close the door as quietly as possible. Blaise lay on the red couch under a thin blanket. His eyes darted toe almost as soon as I stepped out of my room.

"Why are you out here Zabini?"

"Jenna kicked me out when she found out I didn't know how to change a nappy. Said if I couldn't help, she might as well do the whole project on her own."

Jenna had obviously heard seeing as her head popped out of her room almost instantaneously after Blaise's comment.

"If you were useful in any way then you'd e in here warm and comfy," she shouted, "but nooo."

"Dude, you can sit down you know." I tried to walk closer to him but was stopped. The bed where Hermione lay was roughly ten feet from where I stood.

"I think I'll just head back," I said. The spell even kept e from my friends…yippee.
