Chapter 2 Usurp
They stopped at a public park 5 miles from Wade's school. Harry led them by the side of the lake where he let Wade play with a kite.
Hermione and Harry sat by the bench, watching little Wade enjoying himself.
"Harry, you knew this was coming. You should've prepared for it", Hermione said in a calm voice.
"I'm not ready to face Draco again"
"Why so? You didn't live to be shamed of this"
"You know well that Wade is Draco's son, and not mine. I'm worried how Wade will take it. He might not be able to accept it lightly"
Hermione held Harry's hand and stared at him in the eyes. It took some time before Hermione replied.
"Better now than later"
"Mione, I've learned to love Wade as my own child though I know deep inside that he can never be my son"
*********************************************************************
Wade was sleeping soundly at the back of their vehicle, resting his tired head on top of Hermione's lap. Harry was driving them back home. Out of the uncomfortable silence, Hermione spoke.
"You are still thinking about it, aren't you?"
"Never left my mind actually"
They were three houses away from the Potter's residence when they saw a car parked I front of it. Harry slowed down and turned his head to Hermione.
"It's time Mione"
Hermione nodded and started to wake Wade up
"Harry, thank you"
"For what?"
"For being that father to Wade and making this decision"
"I didn't make this decision. You did"
Wade sat up, rubbing his eyes to wake himself up.
"Here you go", Harry mouthed.
"Daddy, aren't you staying for the night? Daddy?", Wade's voice almost broke Harry's heart. The word 'Daddy' kept ringing in his ears.
"Not tonight Wade. I still got work to do. Be a good boy, ayt? I'll be home soon, don't you worry. Take care of Mummy for me, will you?", Harry said in a painful smile.
"Yes Daddy! I love you!", Wade voiced as he hugged Harry and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Wade jumped off and ran to the door of their house. Harry tried to read Hermione's expressions.
"Mione, just take care will you?"
"When will you come back?", Hermione said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I don't know. Maybe soon. I don't know. I don't want to contend with the Dark Lord's time with this family"
"Harry!"
"Take your wand with you wherever you go"
"You take care of yourself just the same. I still love you Harry! I really do"
Hermione leaned in to kiss Harry.
There was an air of indifference between them---maybe it's from Harry . . . or maybe, Hermione.
Their lips touched kindly and Hermione pulled away. She started to put her feet on the ground, not taking her eyes off Harry.
Hermione gave a faint wave as she closed the door. Harry waited for her to enter the house before he left off.
*********************************************************************
Harry was being tortured mentally as he went for the freeway. He felt uneasy leaving his family alone with the Dark Lord.
The rain was hard again that night when he decided to scour through the glove compartment for Hermione's collection of cds. To his surprise, he found Hermione's wand in it.
// Oh no! I've got to go back //
He was about to turn right off the freeway when he saw a speeding car beside his---the car that was parked outside the Potter's residence early that night. It was madly running through the road when Harry noticed it was swerving crazy .
He pulled the window down, ignoring the rain slapping on his face, noticing Hermione in the front seat trying to get hold of the wheels while Wade was pulling the driver's hair to distract him. There was too much struggle inside the car.
Harry stepped on the gas to keep up. He could still see Hermione struggling against a might arm. Harry tried to distract Draco along the road, steering his own wheels towards Draco's car, then pulling away. It was dangerous to do anything more than that as the road was too slippery for such maneuvering.
Harry was already screaming . . . begging.
"Stop the car! Mione, hold on!"
With one last steer towards Draco's car, Harry saw Hermione's head slam to the window at her side.
"NO!", Harry yelled in desperation and fury.
Harry kept his eyes on them when he saw Wade thrown hard at the back seat, leaving him unconscious.
"Draco, stop it . . .", Harry's voice broke as tears fell down his eyes.
He didn't notice he was slowing down. When he was almost at a halt, that's when he checked the gas gauge to see that it was empty.
The farthest his eyes could reach, he saw blood taint the clear window . . . blood that came off Hermione's head . . .

So there is the 2nd chapter as I have promised.
As always, please review! It would really mean a lot.
