He Didn't Have To Be
Chapter 3
//////////////////////////
When a single mom goes out on a date
With somebody new
It always ends up feeling more like a job interview
My mom used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't, find out about me
And then turn around and run.

"Mommy, someone's at the door!" yelled 5-year-old Johny Granger.
"I got it, Johny!" yelled Hermonie Granger. I can't believe I am doing this again. Oh, well, Johny needs a father. Don't get me wrong, Harry is a great role model, and he really loves Johny as his own son, but he deserves more. She thought to herself. She walked to the door and opened it. "Hi Jeff. Come in. I just have to grab my coat." She shut the door behind him and walked into another room. When she came back, she yelled, "Johny!"
"Yes Mom," he said running into the room.
"Be good for Tracy. I love you," she said kissing his forehead. "And I will see you later."
"Bye Mommy, I love you too. Have fun."
Jeff opened the passenger side door of his car for Hermonie. And then got in himself. "You look very lively tonight Monie," he told her. Giving her a long side glance before returning his eyes to the road.
"Thank you, and please call me Hermonie"
"Sorry"
Hermonie tried to make small talk the entire way to the restaurant, but he way Jeff was looking at her and acting was making her feel both dismayed and pleased. He spent less and less time watching the road and more and more time watching her.
"You know Jeff, wizards can die in car crashed just as much as muggles." She spoke up.
"Sorry, your just to gorgeous to resist." He shot out a beautiful smile at Hermonie that made the corner of her mouth turn up. "So, the boy, Johny I think? Who is he, nephew of something?"
"Or something."
"Huh?" he asked confused.
"Oh, never mind. Johny is my son. He's five."
"Oh."
There was silence the rest of the evening until they said goodbye, and Jeff didn't call again.
