Chapter 10: Meetings

"WHAT! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED? TO WHO?"

"Okay first calm down, what the hell is the big deal, its just marriage. Besides you make it sound like I shouldn't get married to Chastiny or something"

"Chastiny, that's her name isn't it?"

"Sorry I exploded on you man, but woah! You getting married……..but why the hell are you in England for that?"

"Hermione is my wedding planner" Draco said quietly.

Blaise dropped his coffee and looked at him with stunned, disappointed and apprehensive eyes all at once.

"Hermione? Draco, how the hell are you supposed to work this out?"

"I don't know Blaise, honestly I thought that…….Chastiny wants…………I don't know what to do or think. It's not emotionally possible to go through a wedding with your ex as your planner. I can't do it Blaise. I just can't."

Blaise was about to reply when the phone rang. "Excuse me"

"Hello? Oh hi Xavier, what can I do for you?...Central theme? Anna Karenina? Oh well um let me see…….the central theme of Anna Karenina is that a rural life of moral simplicity despite its monotony, is the preferable personal narrative to a daring life of impulsive passion which only leads to tragedy…………….. You're very welcome bud…….yup do well………..see you bye….."

"Who was that?" Draco asked. "And why the hell were you reciting a central theme of a muggle book?" "Who's Xavier"

Suddenly Blaise looked very uncomfortable. He remembered what harry had said. Don't say anything that Xavier is Draco's. But he decided to play it safe.

"Oh, that was Xavier, he was asking me some questions for his exams. Apparently his mother said that muggle tragedy romance was my area of expertise."

Draco nodded. "But who is Xavier? Another one of the Weasley brood or what?"

Shit. What was Blaise supposed to do now? What the heck, he might as well say it.

"He's Mione's son."

Draco looked very stunned for a minute, but he nodded. "I heard her talking to him when she was planning with Chastiny."

"So wait hold on………….you knew Hermione had a son?" "Yeah……….and it shocks me shitless…….. I mean she isn't married…………Xavier isn't adopted………..so where did he come from? Hermione isn't one to do one night stands and keep a souvenir from it? Is she?"

Fuck. Draco was too smart for his own good. " Ummmm…………… well she never told us who the father is." Blaise lied. "You sure? I mean she didn't even tell potter and Weasley?" Draco asked skeptically.

"Hey man… why is it bothering you so much. I mean so what she has a son? Leave it."

But suddenly Blaise understood. "You don't feel for Chastiny do you?" he asked quietly. Draco sighed. "Well I don't love her…….that is for sure……….but I don't know……..listen……how about you meet her with the whole family? Bring the Weasley's, the potters, your selves of course…….and even bring Hermione. Okay? I'll see you at 6 with the rest of the brood at Magic's alike? Okay?" Draco apparated away in front of the spot.

Blaise shook his head. What have you got yourself into? He silently asked Hermione.

Draco apparated to Diagon Alley. He wandered aimlessly through the shops, stopping at the book store. Maybe they had the latest addition of Market watch? He entered the store, and immediately began walking down the isles. He stopped at the Commerce/ Business isle and grabbed a book, entitled "10 ways to become the wealthiest wizard in the world"

" I wouldn't read that if I were you. It's total BS. Here take a look at this one" a voice said from across the isle. Draco looked up to see a kid about 10 holding a handful of books with one entitled "the smarter business guide".

"Um….. Thanks kid, but aren't you a little young to be interested in business?" He asked a little surprised. The kid looked really young. He had platinum blonde hair, and steel grey eyes with a hint of blue. Creamy skin and a semi toned body. With a few years, he'd be a heart throb, Draco thought silently.

"No….. My mom says that reading is a gift and you should read whenever you have the chance. I have read almost every single book in the book store, but hey they keep coming up with new ones!" he said brightly.

"Besides, I wouldn't read if I didn't want too. My mom says I'm way to smart for my own good" He said smirking and with a bit of arrogance.

I like his smirk. Perfect Slytherin smirk. I like this kid he decided. "Hey…. Um you wanna go and get some ice cream?" He asked a little surprised. Maybe he was being a little too fast?

"Um I don't know…… my mom did say that never to talk to strangers but whatever, you seem nice. Let me pay for these." He indicated to over 5 books. When Draco walked down the isles, he noticed the books that this kid was holding. Classics of the 14 century, the original Hogwarts: a history, a wars history, the capture of Louisbourg, and the list goes on. Damn he thought. This kid probably knows more than I do. When the went to the counter the cashier rung everything up. "That will be 120 galleons, and 23 knuts." As the boy dished the money out Draco couldn't help but be curious. "Hey do your parents know the amount of money you spend?" he asked. I mean how many kids went and carried around 120 galleons? This kid must be loaded. "Parent, by the way, i don't have a dad. But yes, my mom does know. In fact she offered me more, but I declined. She filthy rich so its not a problem." He said causally.

So this kid didn't have a dad? Lucius was a shitty dad, but hey atleast he was around right? This kid's mom certainly done well for herself. As Draco observed the boy, he noticed, he walked with a semi strut. Definitely a Slytherin. Draco though happily. Was he being a little weird? I mean who observes 10 year old boys? But he had this strange feeling some over him. Almost……..almost……..fatherly. Draco bushed the thought aside and walked up to the boy.

"I'm Draco Malfoy by the way, what's your name?"

"Xavier…….. Xavier Granger."
