Chapter: 10 STAY

Draco had no real reason to denial Hermione the rights to see her son, but the moment the boy said his mother was Hermione , he felt a deep pain of some kind one could even say he felt betrayed by her but that wasn't a good enough reason to denial her rights .

Draco walked through the hallway leading to Scorpius room at a slow pace, his mind was in jumbles he didn't like not being in control of things, ever since the war he promised himself that he would take control of his life. he found Scorpius in his room sited by the window looking at to the garden for a four year old the kid looked really serious , like he was in deep thoughts , he wouldn't be surprised considering who his parents where .

''Hey buddy what you doing '' Draco had not yet got the hang of calling him by his name.

Scorpuis looked back at his face with tears in his blue eyes that were threating to fall at any moment. Draco was taken back and didn't know what to do.

''hey what's wrong?''

''I miss mommy, I didn't say goodbye to her and I miss her kissing me goodnight, daddy?''

''yeah buddy'' Draco felt the guilty slowly creep in at the mention of Hermione.

''When can I go back to mommy '' Scorpuis didn't understand why his mom and dad did live together but he knew that this was not his home.

Draco could see the confusion on the boys face and it broke him, maybe he should have let Granger to see him. but that was all too late he knew he couldn't keep refusing to let her see him, he had to make a descion he already had made up his mind when he went meet up with granger what he wanted to happen but he just got so agary that he changed all thoughts, but now looking into the little boys eyes, he knew he had made the wrong decision and need to fix things.'' Don't cry buddy, don't worry mom will be here soon, okay ''

The boys eyes lit up with the idea of his mother coming, he wanted to show her his room here, 'really mommy is going to come here ''

''yeah she is, now stop crying and go keep your grandma company and I will see you at dinner''

The little boy stood up and hugged his father with his little hands around his neck and kissed him on the check, which took Draco by surprise but he still returned the hug.

Now to fix the mass I have made, thought Draco to himself as he walked to the office that once belonged to his father.

Harry knew that Malfoy would either be upset with Hermione or flat out ignore her and say he had nothing to do with it. But to find out that Malfoy had Scorpuis all this time and refused to let Hermione to see him that was just cruel even for him.

Hermione sat and cried in her friends arms, as she retold what happen with Malfoy to harry. Harry like a good friend he was, did not judge her for her decisions, though she had to have known that this day was going to come, he just held her as she cried.

They was a knock at the door as harry put Hermione to sleep after she cried herself to extrusion .harry was not expecting the person behind the door as he swung it open.

'''Malfoy? ''

''Potter''

'' what are you doing here?'' asked harry in a hasher tone then he intended, Malfoy raised his eyebrow at the boy who lived, or should he say man who fucking couldn't die.

'' Am here to see the mother to my child ''replied Malfoy in a bored tone of voice, but harry could hear the little edge in his voice which was saying it's none of your business.

''I don't think it's a good idea not after what you did. I don't think she would want to see you '' replied harry taking a stand.

'' look here Potter I didn't come here to get lectured on what's good or not , am here to see granger and I suggest you let me in right now of your own will or have me go through you either way am talking to her''

''harry what's going on?'' Hermione came back down to investigate the noise with red shot rimmed eyes , a clear sign that she had been crying , her eyes opened wide as she stared at Malfoy stand at her front door , his checks looked a bit flashed .

''what's going on?

'' granger, can you tell your door boy here that I need to talk to you, so can he step out of my way'' malfoy knew what he said was a low blow and a bit childish but he couldn't stand Potter and Granger too all this time they kept his son away from him, Potter must have known his closer with ganger so he blamed him to.

''what do you want Malfoy haven't you done enough?''

'' I want to talk about our son.'' Replied Malfoy staring passed the dark hair man.

'' Let him in harry '' said Hermione while turning her back to go to the living room, all fight gone from her voice and step.

Malfoy walked into the house and stared at the walls that had pictures of his son at different ages , one where it looked like he was in round pool of sand playing with other kids , the other he was on a red bicycle thing that muggle children seemed to like , the more he walked and stared at the pictures he felt the anger return , he took a few breathes and decided to count to Ten in his head to calm himself , he came here for the sake of his son and he was not going o let his anger get in the way . The living room was a modest room, with a big couch facing the fire place and a television set above it, in the corner was a big square like chair, but yet it looked like a box. Malfoy looked away from the strange thing and took a sit at the far end of the couch.

''can we talk alone'' Malfoy spoke up first as everyone seemed not to know what to do.

''no way I'm I living you lone with Hermione I …''

''harry please live us, I need to talk to him alone .I will owl you later.''

''but Hermione Malf….''

''Harry! I can take care of myself and I need to talk to malfoy so please '' shouted Hermione getting really annoyed by the minute. Malfoy looked at potter with a smug smirk on his face, as the green eyed young man sent a glare to him and looked to his best friend with a look of sympathy and left the room.

Now that it was just her and malfoy Hermione couldn't help but feel a little sacred, she looked at her wand which was on the coffee table to her right, but the action didn't go unnoticed by malfoy as he rolled his eyes and took out his wand and placed it on the table. A look of shock crossed Hermione's face but she didn't say anything.

''how is he?'' spoke up Hermione , tension in the room could be cut with a knife . malfoy looked at the strange chair , stool thing for a few seconds , Hermione thought he wouldn't reply .

''his fine, he misses you though that's why am here.''Hermione's eyes picked up at the mention of her son missing her, she thought that now that he had a father he wouldn't need her e, she knew her thoughts where silly but she couldn't help it.

''I miss him to.''

''listen granger , am not going to apologize for what I said earlier today but, I realised that my decisions don't only affect me but him too , and I don't want my son growing up without a mother , or .. Guess what am trying to say is that you should go see him. and maybe we can come up with a solution which will ensure both of us to be part of his life .I don't want to lose him and I don't want him to see his parents fight it out in court , so if we could come up with some kind of comprise am all for it .''

Hermione just sat there with her mouth open , she couldn't believe that the words that had been staid v=came out of malfoys mouth , after there meeting earlier today she was sure she would be receiving a court summon the minute she got home. Guess she assumed wrongly.

''I...I …I would also like for ….I mean Scorpuis needs his father and I realised it was wrong of me, to do it. but I don't know how to go about this , he could come to your house on weekends and some holidays , am sure we can work out s schedule , '' said Hermione already making a timetable for the poor kid .

Malfoy just frowned at her , he didn't want to be a part time father where he only saw his son on weekends , he wanted to be there when the boy woke up and went to bed , he wanted to see him everyday .but he didn't know how to go about that , he knew if he suggested that they live together she would say no , and he wasn't sure if he was ready to live that type of life yet, and having the kid all to himself and giving Hermione weekends seemed wrong, he just stared at her as he could see her mind was already at work.

Malfoy stood up and draw Hermione out of her thoughts as she looked at his face.

''where are you going?''

''it's none of your business granger .'' replied malfoy , he didn't mean to sound hush but it just came out that way he could see that granger was still feeling a bit guilty cause she didn't reply back .

''Malfoy, can I see my son now?'' asked Hermione in a timid voice which was unlike her, she was afraid if she spoke out loud Malfoy might refuse.

Malfoy looked at her a few seconds '' I asked mother to wait for your visit you can floo there I had the wards changed, before coming here they should allow you in. ''

''you not coming with me ?'' asked Hermione feeling a bit nerves going to his house without him being there and the fact that she will have to face his mother was not helping .

''I have other things to do '' was his simple reply as he turned on his heel and made his out of the door.

''bye...and thank you ''whispered Hermione she wasn't sure if he heard but she saw the little turn of his head and she knew he heard her , she felt a new wave of energy at the thought of going to see her son this three days had been the longest she had been away from him . Though a bit nerves she made her way upstairs to change.

Blaise walked out of his room to find a half drunk Malfoy on his floor with a glass of brandy in his hand, Draco never took brandy, so this must mean something was wrong. Zabini walked over to his long time friend and picked him up and placed him on the couch, this was the normal for the two sometimes Blaise felt like he was Draco's wife than friend but he didn't mind Draco was there for him so his always there for his friend, he had to admit it had been a long time since he saw his friend in this state which lead him to wonder what could have caused such.

''If u throw up on my floor again I will kick you out ''said Blaise as he saw Draco wake up.

''fucking hell I feel rightly pissed, this is why I don't take that horse piss of a brandy you call alcohol.''

''hey! That's a 2000 gallons bottle one of the finest brandy around I would appreciate it if u paid it some respect its older then you, you know, now what do I own the displeasure of dragging your sorry ass on my couch.

Draco looked at his, friend and business partner, he trusted him with his life and that says a lot coming from him.'' I have a son.''

Blaise didn't look shocked but he was a bit confused you may say. If Draco had a son that wouldn't be news he might even have two or three more out there , what was shocking was that he only found out today .''While mate congratulations, guess am an uncle. 'Smirked Blaise towards the blond with a knowing look.

''didn't u hear what I just said I have a freaking son and his almost five years old and I just met him three while two days ago , what the fuck do I do with a son .''

''wait so u never knew that you had a son.''

''No ''

''danm and who is the mother '' Draco wasn't sure if he should tell Blaise or not , not that Blaise would judge him, he just felt ashamed of his actions towards the mother of his son ,back at school even way out of school he still never had anything nice to say about her.

''it's Granger''

''hahahahahahahaha this is freaking rich ,you pulling my balls right , granger as in bookworm granger, granger with the brown bushy hair , granger best friends with saint potter , granger who dat…..''

'''fucking hell I get it alright yes that granger.

''huh, I would ask how that happen but I don't want details of your escapades misbranded in my mind as I have yet to remove others. But why are you finding out now.''

''because my son freaking showed up at my door looking for me , can you believe she had been keeping him away from me all this years I mean what kind of person does that .

''while u can't blame her mate your Draco Malfoy muggleborn hatter and all that good stuff ,I wouldn't want to tell you either if I didn't k now you that well , or maybe u two where in a secret relationship I didn't know about . ''

'' no we were not, it was a onetime thing during the war.''

'' I see so what are u going to do.''

''I don't know mate I really don't know.

''while u can start by getting up and lets go meet this son of yours, before u ruin him. 'Blaise took back his words soon as he saw the look on Malfoy face.

A/N ,There we go. And don't forgot to review ….on wards
