Last Bloom of the Season
Reviewers!!:::
And just a personal thanks to Katherine M. She's been studying ballet for years and helps me a lot with this story to get it factually correct.
Thank you in general to everyone who reviewed and please keep reading my story!!!
Draco had met his daughter at the door and the two spent the rest of the afternoon eating
junk food and watching TV. The next morning, Draco dropped Emi off at preschool five
minutes too early and so the little girl sat inside the classroom waiting patiently. Soon
three of Emi's......not so close friends showed up. Areta and Kali weren't so bad, but
around Geena they became as nasty as she was. The trio walked into the classroom
talking excitedly about something, but when they caught sight of Emi they suddenly
stopped. "Emi, come sit with us." Geena called out sweetly. Emi was no fool to be played
and knew nothing good could come out of Geena's mouth, but she walked slowly over
anyway. Areta pulled up a pink chair for her and Emi sat down reluctantly. "So as I was
saying. It will be absolutely fantastic! Do you know what we're talking about Emi?"
Geena asked. Emi shook her head. "We're talking about the Mother/Daughter talent show
next month. My Mother, my older sister Bertra, and I are going to dance and sing. We'll
definitely win the prize and Father will then take us out to dinner. Areta and Kali, and
their mothers are doing it with us. It'll be fantastic! Our moms are going to let us wear
makeup and curl our hair. We'll look so beautiful and grown up and we're going to have
so much fun! We're going to have a sleepover and stay up all night doing fun girl stuff.
My Mother is my best friend." Geena made a little speech and smiled smugly at Emi.
Areta and Kali took up the act and sneered. "What are you going to do? Have your rich
Father buy you a mother for the occasion?" Areta asked. "Yeah, or are you just going to
make another lame excuse why you aren't in the contest. Come on Emi, you must know!"
"Yeah Emi. Tell us where your mother is, and why isn't she living with you? You're a
pretty crummy kid sure, but a real mother never would have left because of that. Unless
she doesn't love you." Emi felt herself falling and landing with a crash. She had expected
teasing or insults from them. Not this. Feeling frozen for a second she thought back to
when her Dad and her talked about this very subject. She had shed a few tears then but
gotten over it in her Daddy's arms. Now she was facing the truth alone. ~How dare they.
How dare they use my mother against me.~ Hearing her Dad's voice in her mind again
she closed her eyes for a brief moment. "I'm sorry for my mistakes but I'm so glad I have
you. Never be afraid or ashamed of the past Emi. The past isn't you and wasn't your
fault. I love you." He had said. Feeling the shock turn into fury she stood up and glanced
down at Geena. "My mother if you really must know did love me. And my parents aren't
together anymore because they're not as pathetic as yours Geena. You know very well
your Dad pays your mother every second to use his last name." Emi said calmly before
turning and walking away. "MY FATHER DOES NOT DO THAT! MY MOTHER
GETS MONEY FROM MY DAD TO BUY THINGS FOR US!" Geena yelled after her.
By then more kids had begun to arrive and a few moments later the teacher walked in to
the classroom. Emi felt satisfied with defending herself but secretly she ached for a
mother like Geena's. She wanted to do all the fun things they were going to do. She
wanted so bad to be in the contest, but she knew she couldn't. All through the day she
kept reminding herself that she had her skating lesson to look forward to. "Mione
promised us we could try out some of our ballet things on the ice." When the final bell
rang Emi hurried to Janet's room and then two waited for Draco to show up. When he
did, they urged him to drive faster making him laugh. After arriving, the two girls ran in
with Draco holding their bags behind them. "Mr. Malfoy, Mommy says that you have to
meet the new teacher." Janet called out suddenly. "New teacher? Emi?" Draco questioned
feeling rather confused. "Oops." Emi whispered. Draco smiled. "No problem. You guys
go ahead and change and I'll meet you in your room. Same room right?" Emi nodded as
she and Janet headed towards the changing rooms. "AND WE'RE GIRLS MR.
MALFOY! NOT GUYS!" Janet yelled. Draco grinned before walking towards the room.
Knocking he heard a female voice call him in. Opening the door it took him a few
moments to find the teacher. Pushing open the door, his eyes fell on the back of a woman
standing by the piano. Clearing his throat to get her attention, he smiled as she turned.
"Hi! You must be Emi's fa-" .......Draco looked down wondering if maybe he spilled
something on his shirt, or his neck developed a serious rash or something. But he looked
perfectly normal. "Is there something wrong. You don't look too well." ~Why is she
staring at me like that?~ Draco stared back and suddenly a creeping numbness over-
captured his body. ~It's Granger. Hermione Granger.~ Draco thought as he tried to think
of something to say. "Wow, who would ever have thought you would become an ice
skating teacher." ..................a very long and very awkward moment passed...................
"Okay, this is just kind of stupid." Draco stated. "Yeah, it kinda is. I just can't believe it's
you." ~Her eyes look so confused, did she think I was dead or something? I mean she
must have read or heard something about me. Well then again I never really heard
anything about her.~ A few seconds later Hermione came back to her senses and her eyes
locked on his wrist. Draco saw she was going to say something and waited nervously.
She reached out and clasped her fingers around his wrist. A sly smile crept on to his face
as he realized what she was doing. Hermione took a step closer and looked at his arm.
"No mark huh?" She asked looking up at him. Draco shook his head, "Why, did you
expect one?" He replied. Hermione glanced up sharply. "No one knew what happened to
Voldemort. He just disappeared, along with the other deatheaters. People lived in
absolute fear and chaos for months after that. You knew what happened didn't you. But
you never stepped up and admitted the truth." He lightly flinched at the sudden edge in
her voice. "You don't understand. I couldn't. I had to protect Emi. By birthright she
belonged to the deatheaters, I couldn't let her be taken. She's my daughter. Voldemort
didn't spare anyone, not even infants." Draco prayed she would understand. Hermione's
glare softened and she shrugged. "I guess there was nothing else you could do." Glancing
over his shoulder, she smiled. "Emi, Janet come on in." "See you later." Draco called
giving Emi a quick hug. On his way out he heard Janet begin a question about what was
happening. "Well, the thing is that Emi your dad and I knew each other from Hogwarts.
Isn't that funny?"
Later in the lounge. Draco sat and stared at the ugly wallpaper. He had brought some
work to do while he waited for the lesson to finish, but he couldn't concentrate. ~Seeing
Hermione Granger after all these years. She looked so different, but her brown eyes are
still the same.~ Taking a deep breath and concentrating on the ugly wallpaperhe pulled
himself back to the Graduation Ball. It was a masque ball and he had had one dance with
Hermione. The sparks he had felt as a teenager burned themselves back in to his mind.
~She looked beautiful that night. And he was part of it, but she never knew.~ Time
passed quickly with Draco in his endless train of thoughts. He suddenly glanced down at
his watch and hurried to the rinks. Hermione had given the girls ten minutes to fool
around so hidden in the shadows, Draco watched. When he saw Emi and Janet skate
towards the door to change, he walked towards Hermione hoping to get another word
with her. "How'd it go?" He asked. "It was terrific. Emi really has natural talent. But I
wonder why the ice skating talent skipped a generation in the Malfoy family." Hermione
joked. Draco blushed remembering the sixth year Hogsmeade ice skating trip. The
professors were on the ice too, all except Snape who called the activity, "A waste of
water" Draco had fallen more times than he could count, once smacking straight in to
Dumbledore and causing him to fall too. Just then, Draco heard a ringing noise. "Oh,
that's my muggle cellphone. Gimme a moment will you?" Hermione dug around in a bag
she had and pulled out a funny looking little rectangle. Draco stared in awe as she began
talking and having a conversation in the little box. "Are you serious? Was anyone hurt? I
hope he's all right. I'll drive to the hospital the moment I can. Thanks for telling me.
Bye." Turning to Draco, Hermione smiled sheepishly and asked, "Know anywhere that'll
take in a college student whose apartment caught on fire?"
Twenty minutes later, Janet and Emi were in the backseat of the green sedan with Draco
and Hermione in front. "You're so lucky Em. I wish Mione was coming to live with us."
Janet called when Draco pulled over in front of her home. "See you in school tomorrow!"
Emi called. If Draco was watching his daughter just then he would have seen her silver
blue eyes widen and a smile spread on her face. ~If Mione and Daddy fall in love, she'll never leave!!!~
Well there you go. Emi's gonna set up her Ole Dad with Hermione.... lol. I hope everyone likes it.....and since it's almost two in the morning I think I'll stop for now....... I'll try to update ASAP and as usual.....PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!! It helps me write better stories and writing is the passion of my life.... lol.... and well....who doesn't like to get reviews???? And for me.... *it was good* suffices as a great review lol!! Lastly... if there is anyone who has an unique idea for the future plot.....feel free to suggest it. I'll give you credit for the idea and everything...... I'm not a writer who plans before they write. Pleaz, pleaz review!!! And thanks for even reading this story!
