February was just nearing around the corner. Draco and Blaise still haven't heard of Lucius' death for it was hushed among the Death Eaters only reason a few knew was because Harry announced it when he had woken up that one night or Narcissa trying to find comfort with someone else who could relate to her. She was still pregnant and had to be kept up in the hospital wing most of the time for she is dealing with a lot of stress at the moment and everyone knows stress isn't good for a developing baby. She needed to be with her son and tell him, but she had no clue where he was that's when she decided to talk to Dumbledore about it. Poppy summoned the Headmaster to her bedside and he was there within a couple minuets.

"How are you feeling today?" he conjured up a chair and sat next to her bed.

"Much better, but I do have a request" he waved her on "Can I see my son please. I need to tell him Dumbledore he's the only one I have left" she lost her voice at the end and let a couple of silent tears fall freely down her face which he had wiped away with a tissue. He sighed for a moment and looked at her stomach.

"You have your baby girl as well" he sighed again "I suppose so I will inform the Headmistress at his school. Would you like to see Mr. Zabini as well?" She nodded.

"Thank you Dumbledore."

He smiled at the woman before him "You have been out of school far too long to still be calling me Dumbledore. Narcissa for now on address me as Albus" with a smile and a twinkle in his blue eyes he left.

She laid there for a minute before getting up and getting dressed for the day. She felt so much better after hearing she would be able to see her son…well basically her two sons. She made her way down to the Great Hall and took a seat at the Slytherin table waiting for Lunch to begin within seconds the food was in front of her and as she ate she watched the people file in.

"Mrs. Malfoy how are you feeling" Pansy asked as she took a seat next to the woman.

"Much better Pansy my dear…so how have classes been so far?"

"A bore!" Ron said as he threw his books on to the table "Potions is a dread and McGonagall seems to be on that time of the month if you catch my drift" he took a bite of his potatoes feeling a little queasy after he said that. They two girls laughed at his assumptions.

"Where is Hermione may I ask?" as she poured some more pumpkin juice.

"Probably sitting at the Gryffindor table she hasn't really been at this table ever since Malfoy left" Pansy looked over the crowd and sure enough Hermione was over there talking with Ginny. Narcissa followed Pansy gaze which landed on Hermione she had never seen the girl up front and in person just heard a lot about her from Draco back in the days when he hated her, but now she had to learn to look at this girl at a different perspective now for her son has fallen in love with her. 'I guess I'll talk to her and get to know her more later' she got up and bid Ron and Pansy bye for she needed to get back to Albus and see when she would be able to leave. Once she arrived she found him at his desk reading a letter without even glancing up he spoke to her.

"How about you see them both tonight?"

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Draco walked onto his houses balcony and glanced towards the horizon 'I miss you Hermione' he sighed as he closed his eyes remembering how she looked when he had left her sleeping, but then Hermione turned into Jenny and his eyes shot open 'That was weird.' His thoughts were interrupted by Henley walking out handing Draco back his astronomy book.

"Thanks it helped a lot with last nights homework." he leaned over the railing by Draco's side "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead" he leaned over the railing a spit over the edge.

"Are you and Jen an item?" Mike asked "Because whenever we go to an Aphrodite party you two are both sitting on the couch talking your mouths off" he laughed.

"No…" he smiled to himself "she just reminds me of someone I know."

Mike wasn't about to push to find out who this someone was so he decided to leave next thing Draco knew Blaise was by his side eating a plate full of fruit.

"Do you like this place or Hogwarts better" he asked while he offered Draco some fruit.

"If Hermione was here I'd like this place better" he grabbed a grape and ate it "I wonder how she's doing…" he stared off absentmindley.

"She's doing good, but she said she misses you" Draco turned and look at his friend with a confused expression "Okay okay so I wrote Ginny…I missed her like crazy alright…Hermione wrote something in my letter as well, but only a little bit" he pulled out the letter and folded it so Draco could only read Hermione's writing:

This is Hermione writing just wanted to say hey and I hope you and Draco are having a blast, but don't have too much fun without your leading ladies. I can't believe your going against Dumbledore's rules and writing Ginny it is too risky and I understand that's probably why Draco hasn't written to me, but since you did break the rules…I just want to say please tell Draco I love him and miss him like crazy and that I've been sleeping in his bed ever since he left. Draco smiled and laughed at this. Well it's getting late. Until next time…HG

P.s I can't believe you and Ginny…what you write in your notes shocks me! Just playing take care!

That's exactly what he needed that day was to hear Hermione…well have some part of Hermione there with him and he loved reading what she had to say. He then remembered his little day dream and decided to ask Blaise about it.

"Blaise I was having this day dream thinking about Hermione, but then Hermione turned into Jenny…what do you think?" he turned at looked at his friend who gave him a puzzled look.

"You just miss her and Jen just seems to remind you a lot of her. Why do you fancy her or something?" he looked back at Draco whose focus was back on the horizon.

"No not at all, but I think she fancies me a tad bit." Blaise was about to ask how would he know, but a voice interrupted them.

"Excuse me for disturbing you two, but you see there's this woman who really misses her son and this other boy who basically is her son as well" They both turned to the voice and there in front of them was Narcissa Malfoy smiling with her arms extended to them. Draco and Blaise smiled and laughed as they engulfed the woman before them into a strong hug Blaise broke away first, but when Draco was about to Narcissa pulled him closer and began to cry. He looked at Blaise with confusion and held his Mother up in his arms, stroking her hair.

"Mother what's wrong?" she looked up at her son his glassy eyes "Where's Father by the way?"

"He's dead Draco" The woman sobbed hysterically "I had to come here and tell you Draco I am so sorry it took this long" she looked at her son's blank face he showed no emotion or movement. Blaise tried to pull Draco into a brotherly hug, but Draco pushed him back making Blaise fall on the floor, he didn't say anything for he knew how Draco felt, for his Father died as well.

"How" he croaked out "Why."

"He was at a meeting with the Dark Lord and some how I was conjured there and-" she tried to remember "We tried to leave because he was curious to where you two have been and Lucius grabbed me saying that were on our way to find where your whereabouts were, but once we turned to leave the Dark Lord asked us what were to name the baby girl" She ended up telling them everything all the way down to where Lucius sent her to Dumbledore's office and so forth. Draco just stood there not knowing what to do all his life his Father was his mentor in an evil way it was all good up until he had met Hermione and wanted a different life. His Father tried to change, but he guessed it was too late at least before he died he had chosen the right path. He looked over at Blaise who was holding his Mother in his arms and pulled her into a hug.

"He told me to tell you he was sorry for everything…" she chocked back her tears as she looked into her son's eyes "I just had to tell you face to face. I am so sorry it took me this long-"Draco had interrupted her.

"No Mother its fine I'm just glad you and my sister are both okay" He kissed his mother's cheek which made her smile "At least Father doesn't have to put up with that Dark asshole anymore" she laughed and pulled her son into a hug and then looked over at Blaise and motioned him over as well. Blaise was thankful for knowing the Malfoy family he really appreciated their company and everything else they've done for him. She was glad Albus had let her visit them they had lightened up her spirits and she felt more relieved then ever. They had gave her a tour of their new school and introduced her to some of their friends when Jenny was introduced Narcissa too also thought she reminded her of Hermione.

"I wonder if there related…" she whispered to Blaise as they watched Draco and Jen talk "Jen Dear."

"Yes Mrs. Malfoy?" She turned and looked at the woman.

"Are you perhaps related the Granger family."

"Umm…I don't think so?" she laughed "Why?"

"You remind me of a girl…"

"Hermione Granger?" the group looked at each other "I get that a lot. My cousin is her boyfriend Blaise that's how we met, but please if you ever know him don't tell him I'm a witch. I'm adopted all I know is I'm a pure blood it's a long story" she laughed.

"Really now" Blaise laughed and Draco just looked at her.

"Actually Blair and her broke up she has a new better, hot, sweet, romantic, one of a kind-"

"She get the point" his mother laughed.

"Man. and she's more then in love with him" Draco finished with a satisfied look.

"Really well there's only one person who I think would top this guy" everyone waited to her answer "Duh you of course Draco."

Blaise and Narcissa roared with laughter if only this girl knew it was Draco Malfoy. Draco smiled and laughed inside and Jen just smiled up at him. It was getting late and the boys had school in the morning so Narcissa bid them good byes and promised to deliver the letters they had wrote for Ginny and Hermione. They two were very happy to have seen her that day they were happy just to see anyone from Hogwarts. Hell they wouldn't even mind seeing Filch.

Hermione,

I love you

Draco

Hermione looked at the note jaw dropped she couldn't believe that he had been away for almost a month and all he could write was I love you. It was sweet to still know that, but she actually felt hurt and glanced over at Ginny's note Blaise had wrote her and noted it was 2 pages long. Everyone was hanging out in the Heads common room that night helping one another study. Ron and Pansy were playing wizards chess together and Ginny was curled up re reading her notes. Hermione felt like crying she started to head to Draco's bedroom, but stopped when she heard her name being called she turned around and met silver eyes staring back at her and smiled.

"Hey are you okay?" Narcissa asked as she noticed her glossy eyes "Did Draco fall out of love with you or something" This made Hermione laugh and plopped herself down on Draco's bed Narcissa following suite.

"No it's just when I read Draco's letter all he said was I love you." Narcissa waved her on "No that it."

"I see." she moved closer to Hermione and pulled her into a hug "Don't take it personal he loves you Hermione he's just been…dealing with a lot if you know what I mean." she sighed and Hermione looked up at her and nodded 'I forgot all about his Father' she mentally kicked herself.

"Draco and Blaise are doing well they've made a lot of friends and the school it's much smaller then this one, but the view and the location is amazing! He told me how much he wishes you were there though." Hermione smiled as she talked about her visit with them and also talk about how a girl named Jen knew Hermione and this caused her to laugh and roll her eyes. 'What a small world.' she stared at the woman in front of her as she started talking about something, but Hermione was focused on her stomach now. Narcissa was showing more now and she thought she looked pretty cute pregnant even though she still had the snobbish look to her. She noticed Hermione staring at her stomach and smiled.

"You want to feel her kick?" Hermione smiled and nodded she placed her hand on her stomach and waited Narcissa felt around underneath her stomach and lifted it a little making the girl move on the inside, she kicked and startled Hermione.

"Oh! She's pretty strong."

"Tell me about it" she rubbed her tummy where the child kicked "Tell you what how about you come with me to see Draco."

"OH! I'D LOVE TOO!" she jumped on Narcissa and hugged her real tight, but making sure not to hurt the baby "But how?"

"I'll ask Albus…it feels weird calling him that, but he insisted so be ready by this Friday" she yawned "I don't think he'll have a problem…"

Hermione yawned as well "Will you be sleeping in the hospital wing again or somewhere else?"

"Well I have no other bed. I don't want to go back to the manor for it's unsafe you know, but I have no other bed-" Hermione interrupted her.

"Sleep here in Draco's room I insist!" she started to get up, but was pulled down and Narcissa shook her head no "Fine then my room…"

"I'll take you up on that one" she hugged Hermione good night and left.
