Chapter 28 Children

Hermione looked up when her mother let go her hand.

"Alright, sweetie, Mommy's going to drink some coffee, why don't you play in the park?"

"Okay, mommy." Hermione hold on better on the book she had n the other hand, pressed against her chest.

"Look, there's a boy alone over there, why don't you go talk to him?"

Hermione nodded and walked to the three where a blond boy sat.

"Hi."

He looked at her. "Hello."

"I'm Hermione. What's your name?"

"Draco."

"Do you wanna be my friend?"

"...Okay." he smiled.

Hermione sat next to him.

"You're pretty." she said.

"..." Draco blushed "Y-you too."

"Thank you! ...Why are you alone?"

"...I don't know anyone. Mom brings me here when Daddy and her fight. She says I have to know muggles too."

"What's a muggle?"

Draco's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hands. "I can't say."

"Can it be our secret?" she made puppy eyes "I'm your friend. And every time I come here I'll look for you, s you're not alone anymore! ...If I tell you my secret will you tell me yours?" Hermione whispered the last sentence.

"Okay." Draco whispered back.

"I can do magic!" she beamed.

"Really?" he gasped "Can you show me?"

"Sure!"

Hermione made a concentrated face, biting the tip of her tongue, and suddenly the book in her lap opened and started to flip its pages by itself.

"Ta-da~!" she smiled "So, what's your secret?"

"I can do magic too!"

"I thought I was the only one!"

"No, my mommy and daddy can too, so as Blaise and even Pansy! And she's stoopid!" Draco grinned "And when we're eleven we'll go to Hogwarts and learn how to make spells!"

"Can I go too?" she asked eagerly.

"Only muggles can't go, so I think you can!"

"What's a muggle?" she asked again.

"It's a wizard who- it's a person who can't do magic.*"

"So my mom and dad are muggles?"

"Uh-uh!"

"Will you be my friend when we go to school?"

Draco nodded.

"Thank you!" Hermione hugged him.

After that they talked about many things, mainly about magic – that Draco explained to Hermione - and muggle things – that Draco asked about and Hermione answered.

Although time didn't pass too slowly, they sat there talking and playing for some – really some – time. They found out things about each other and started to look eagerly for the next time they would see each other.

"So, why are your parents fighting?" Hermione asked.

"Daddy wants to choose someone to marry me, but Mommy doesn't. She says I can choose whoever I want."

"You're gonna marry? But only grown-ups marry!"

"I'll only marry when I'm a grown-up too...hey, do you wanna marry me? I don't want to marry Pansy or the other girl I don't even know."

"Do you like me?" Hermione asked.

"Yes." He answered "You're pretty and smart and like to read. You're funny too."

She grinned "I like you too. I'll marry you."

"After we leave Hogwarts?"

"Alright."

They smiled at each other. Then Draco kissed Hermione on the cheek.

She giggled and kissed his cheek too.

Blushing, he grabbed a flower and curled it up with magic to make a ring.

"There." He put it in her finger "I tried to make it so it won't fall, with magic."

"Thank you, drake."

"Hermione?" her mother appeared "So who's your friend?"

"Mommy, this is Drake. I'm gonna marry him when we grow up."

"Really?" she smiled "Then it's a pleasure to meet you, Drake. You be nice to my daughter, alright?" she turned to Hermione again "We have to go now, my shift starts in ten minutes."

"Bye, Drake, see you later!" she kissed his cheek again, got up and grabbed her mother's hand.

"Bye, 'Mione." He waved as she walked away.

Draco sat there alone for a while until Narcisa came for him.

"Draco? I think your father calmed down now. Let's go home." She grabbed his hand.

"Mom? You and Daddy don't need to fight anymore, I decided with who I'm going to marry."

"That's wonderful, darling! Who is she?"

"'Mione. I met her today, her mom and dad are muggles, but she can do magic! I didn't know that was possible. I can still marry her, right? I really want to." He pleaded.

"If you really want to then you can." The blonde smiled "But let's not tell your father about it, okay? We'll surprise him when you marry her."

"Okay."

"Have a nice year, honey." Her father smiled.

Hermione nodded and looked around on the platform, her fingers playing with a ring flower that hadn't changed since that boy had given it to her.

She was eleven years old now and, as said boy had told her when they met, she was going to Hogwarts.

But she couldn't see him in the crowd.

Her family had moved away a year after they met, so she hadn't seen nor spoke to him in years.

Would he still remember her?

Would he still want to be her friend?

...Marry her?

Hermione blushed.

Well, she would have to find out that day, wouldn't she?

Yes, she would.

*-I swear, seriously, I wrote this chapter before A Very Potter Sequel came out, so the first part of this sentence is just like Arthur's line in the musical by coincidence.

I know, this was probably already written a thousand times before me, yes yes, I have zero imagination, bla bla bla.

Oh, that last part, about Hermione being 11...I hadn't put it before in here, I just added it now, when I rewrote this on my computer, so I'm not really sure about it. It gives a sense of beginning, right?
