Chapter 3

```````````````

Hermione looked at herself in the mirror; she wore a red dress with a long slit up the side and intricate beading on the strapless lace-up bodice. Her long wavy hair was in a braided bun, and diamond earrings hung from her ears. Andretti was dressed in a little gold and black suit, and he was currently lying on Hermione's bed. It was the night of Narcissa's oh-so important gala and their attendance was ever so needed. Hermione picked up Andy, and walked out of her room. Her red stiletto heels beat against the floor as she put Andy in his high chair, and fixed his bottles to put in his baby-bag. Her doorbell rung and she slung the bag over her shoulder. Andretti pulled at her braid as she answered the door,

"You ready" Draco asked swinging his key ring around his finger

"Yeah" She said locking the door "My parents aren't home so I gotta be back before them"

"Why" he asked taking Andy from her

"Because I'm grounded"

"Oh puh-lese you're 19 for god sakes"

"I know, but they don't like the idea of my baby being around you"

"I'm his father"

"They know that, but they still think you're a bad influence"

"Whatever you'll be back when you're back"

They arrived at the Manor right after the Notts and right before the Parkinsons. Pansy was livid when she saw Hermione standing next to Draco with a baby in her arms.

"Hello Draco" Pansy said glaring at Hermione

"Hey Pansy" he said flatly

"You got a minute" She purred suggestively

"No, he hasn't got a minute because he can't leave me alone here" Hermione purred mockingly

"She's right Goyle and Crabbe might hit on her or something like that" Draco said wrapping his arm around her waist

Pansy glared at them and turned on her heels, huffing about how Hermione didn't deserve him. Andretti started to whine so Hermione gave him a bottle and rocked him to sleep.

"He's asleep where can I put him down" Hermione asked

"In my room upstairs first door to your right" Draco said pointing up the dark stairway

"I'm not going up there by myself" she said apprehensively

"Fine come on" He sighed

After Hermione put Andretti down on Draco's bed she straightened out her dress and turned to him. Draco pulled her close to him and kissed her briefly, she touched her lips and kissed him forcefully. His hands traveled to her waist and up to her zipper. He pulled it down and smiled at the absence of her bra, she squeaked and smacked his hand playfully.

"The gala, we shouldn't, not here" She managed to choke out

"Then where?" He asked raising his eyebrow at her

"Not here, should we really leave Andretti alone" She said pulling the zipper of her dress back up

"Not with so many Death-Eaters here, we should go anyway"

"Where, we certainly can't go back to my house with my parents and all"

"To my flat, you certainly didn't think I still lived with my parents did you?" He said chuckling

Hermione smiled and picked up Andy.

"Then let's go, maybe I let you finish what you started" She said softly.

Hermione gasped at the elegance of his flat and the intricate designs on his furniture. It turned out that Andy had a room there with a ready crib for him so Hermione laid him down and walked out looking over her shoulder. She found Draco in the kitchen drowning a glass of Kool-Aid (Ms.Vedi: Man ya'll know everybody know what kool-aid is don't even trip).

"I am totally moving out of my parents house" Hermione said leaning on the counter

"You should, I've never heard of a mother being grounded by her mother" Draco said putting his empty glass in the marble sink

"Yeah I'll live somewhere maybe with my aunt" She said tapping her chin

"Live here" He said focusing his gray-blue gaze on her

"Right, have your ex live here while you gallivant around with Charlotte" She said snorting

"Charlotte is my ex, you're the mother of my first-born son and I certainly wouldn't gallivant with her"

"You're totally serious"

"I don't bluff"

"When can I move in?"

"Tomorrow if you want"

"Okay what will you tell Charlotte"

"That my son's mother is moving in because she can't stand her parents"

"Seriously"

"Totally, you don't have to sleep in the same room with me if you don't want to"

"I never said I didn't want to"

"Is that an invitation?"

"You tell me…better yet show me"

Their kisses started slow and calculated but advanced to passionate, hungry kisses within minutes. Draco moved to her neck to leave his mark in the form of a hickey, how was she going that to her parents.

"Well, well, well I see you can't control yourself ten minutes away from me" a deep, feminine voice said from the doorway

"Ugh that is the second time tonight," Draco said collapsing against Hermione

"Charlotte?" Hermione said titling her head at the girl. How the hell did she get in?
