Chapter 4

Underrate

**********************************************************************

"Hermione! What are you doing here?", Harry inquired exasperatedly. He didn't know whether he will run to Hermione and hug her tight or he'll run out of the place in his foolish pride of being caught sleeping with a whore.

Hermione lowered her head and shook it faintly. She continued to run towards Wade and grabbed him at once. Harry stood immediately and wrapped the blanket around his slim waist. Even before Hermione was able to exit what seemed to her a living hell, Harry was able to grab her by her waist.

"Mione, let me explain this", Harry mouthed pleading.

"What is there to explain? My eyes are good as it always was and I am not stupid not to know what is going on"

"I was drunk Mione! I don't know what happened exactly but I just woke up when you entered, only to see myself here"

"Yeah right. If you can't remember a thing, ask your fox when she wakes up. . . What sick mind you have Harry! After you kidnapped us last night, you celebrated your victory over Draco with this bitch. Then you tell me you don't know anything! Go fuck off! Leave us alone Harry. You're no longer a part of my life. . . nor Wade's"

Hermione continued to run for it. Harry was still trying to analyze what just happened when he decided to run after them.

"Mione! I wasn't the one who kidnapped you! I swear!"

"Shut up Harry! I won't listen to you anymore!"

"Believe me, I tried to rescue you last night! Draco did this!"

"I could hardly care less!"

"I'm begging you Mione! Please listen to me!"

"Go away!"

"Mione, I swear to Merlin I didn't cause this"

"Harry. Goodbye"

Harry stood frozen by the stairs. Hermione wont listen to him. . . and she'll never listen to him.

************************************************************************

Hermione exited from the receiving area of the motel. Her head was lowered with Wade wrapped safely in her arms.

Her head rised a bit and she saw a Rolls Royce parked in front of her.

She didn't mind the luxury of it. All she wanted to do that time was to stay away from that place.

The door to the elegant vehicle opened. A plump man wearing comely clothes went out and walked towards Hermione's direction. He smiled kindly and bowed before Hermione who was startled.

"Good evening Madame. The night is already deep. I suggest you come with me now. My master has been waiting for you.", the man mouthed calmly.

"Forgive me but I have not a reason in mind why I should come along with you", Hermione claimed.

"No worries Madame. My Master expected you would say such, so he was wise enough to make a letter for you. He trusts that you will understand"

The man handed the cream-colored envelope to Hermione. Hermione, on the other hand, took it with her free hand. She took the letter out, witnessing a neat handwriting in elegant curls only one man Hermione knew could write.

Hermione Granger,

I ask that you come along with my butler assigned to the mansion in London. He will take you to my residence. I was informed of what happened to you last night and I want to make sure you are safe at all costs. We can talk about this by the time you arrive.

I will be waiting.

Draco Malfoy

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

"Very well. I'm tired and I want to rest", Hermione voiced without reluctance.

Before she entered the car, Hermione stared back at the window to where Harry stayed in the motel. She saw Harry standing there half-naked, looking at her. The last thing she saw was Harry throwing the lamp by the side of the table away.

************************************************************************

"Madame, we are here. Welcome home", a voice rung in Hermione's ears.

She opened her eyes and realized that she was asleep the whole trip. Wade was still asleep in her arms.

Hermione wandered her eyes around and in the dark she saw the magnificence of the estate.

The butler opened the door for her and Hermione grabbed Wade in her arms, and she went out, still roaming her eyes to the spacious land she was at.

They were led inside, and about six maids welcomed them by the entrance.

"Madame, this way please", the butler claimed as he swung his hand towards a room.

A maid opened the door for them, and there revealed a huge room with furniture that could only speak of wealth and power. The ceiling was high and there were hundreds of books that were neatly situated by the shelves. The pieces that ornated the room cost much, Hermione assumed. A Grand chandelier lit the whole room just as the other one did back at the main entrance.

"Welcome to the receiving area. Please have a sit. My Master will be here in a moment"

//Receiving area? I thought this was the library!//

Hermione didn't want to sit. She just laid Wade on the couch and went around through the interesting memorabilia and odd collections only wealthy families like the Malfoys can afford.

She got hold of a silver frame with a photograph of a young boy riding a horse. Hermione stared at it for a while and knew at last that it was Draco on the photo.

"I'm glad to see you again Hermione", a cold, drawling voice came from behind her.

Hermione turned around and saw Draco about two feet behind her. She was astonished by how much Draco's looks had changed.

With the surprise she had to contain, she was only able to give a small smile at Draco.

"I'm glad to see you too Draco"

"So, is this little boy my son?", Draco asked with a warmer tone as she walked towards the couch.

"Umm, yes he is. His name is Wade"

"Wade. . . it's rather an unusual name but I like it", Draco claimed as he sat beside Wade who was sound asleep.

Hermione walked up to them and sat opposite where her two gentlemen were.

"So, how are you?", Hermione asked in a shy manner. It was the first time they saw each other again since Draco left them.

"I guess I'm fine. I've been under training these past years. Never really expected that I would be able to surpass the tests. If you will Hermione, I have something to confess"

"What is it?"

"I---I was the one who had you kidnapped last night"

Hermione immediately steamed up inside and had the sudden urge to punch him in the face. Before she could retort, Draco spoke again. "Let me explain first, okay?"

Hermione remained in her seat and let Draco do the talk. She knew there was a good reason behind Draco's actions. She knew him too well after all those years they've been together in school.

"You see, my family and I got back here in England to have some time off. Things have been heating up in the North. That's where we've been staying all those years since I was gone. Of course in the middle of it all, I wanted to go back for you and our son, but I couldn't. I tried getting away from their sight but I was always caught. So I just waited for the time that my parents decided to come back. And since I step foot here, all I wanted to do was to have you back. I expected Potter wouldn't agree to settling it in peaceful terms, knowing that I've been the heir to the Dark Lord ever since. The only means by which I knew I could have you again was to have you taken by my men. The reason why I didn't take you at once was that I got my conscience to bother me after I took that decision. And since I had some of my men to research about how've you been, I discovered that Potter has been double-crossing you. He often went to night clubs and the reason why he doesn't come home to your house often is that he has another woman aside from the one you saw this night. I wanted you to discover it for yourself. I didn't really mean to intervene in your personal affairs. Forgive me by the means I had this make happen"

Hermione tried to process all the information that bombarded her. After a few seconds, she nodded.

"I understand. I shouldn't have had believed that Harry was into another girl if you did otherwise. By the way, where are your parents?"

"They are in Paris out for some shopping. It's pretty cold in our place up North. Speaking of my parents, there is something else you have to know", Draco said grimly.

"What is it? It couldn't be that bad"

Draco stood from where he sat and he stared at Hermione.

"I'll tell you later. For now, I want you to take a meal. I bet you must be starving. I'll have the maid take Wade up in his room", Draco mouthed as he gestured a hand towards the door.

"In HIS room? Since when did Wade have a room of his own in this house?"

"Yes, his own room. He had one ever since he was born. You expect me to forget about having a comfortable space for my son, do you?"

"Uh, well, I'm not really used with you being a father figure. Not that it's because you don't seem like one, but it really was a long time that I've seen you and now I see you exactly the way I saw you before---a student at Hogwarts, except for the boost of inches in your height and length in your hair. . . god, I never expected it to be like this Draco but I surely missed you", Hermione almost whispered to herself embarrassed.

"I've missed you too Mione. . .", Draco mouthed as he gave a small kiss on Hermione's forehead. ~Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns characters, setting, etc. Except: the plot is mine.~

haha!

4th chapter for you!

I have a splitting headache whilst I was writing this, so pardon me for such stupid chapter. I will try to give you a better on next time, ayt?

POINTS TO CONSIDER:

*okay, I think there's no point in telling this once more, but, Draco was the one who had Hermione and Wade kidnapped that fateful night. Obviously, it couldn't have been Harry as he really tried his best to save his family back in the freeway, and so goes his frustration , and the unexpected occured---the bitch and the bitch on the bed (er, that didn't sound right! LOL)

*Hermione caught Harry in the room with the whore, and Wade tucked in the corner. . . [sob.sob. poor Wade]. For the sympathetic readers, Wade was okay, he didn't see the "action" going on. He was sent there AFTER the deed was done. SO, to better put it, his sight was unharmed!

*When Hermione and Draco met once again in the receiving area, Draco was still cold and distant, but when he saw Wade lying on the couch, his heart softened and his fatherly side came out. Of course, he was supposed to feel indifferent as he was already a wizard to the Dark Side, not to mention that he is the Heir to Voldemort's power. But then, his anxiety won over him the whole time he was away, and thus the feeling made him feel human every so often, so, there was still a space for love in his heart. [awww!]

*Draco treated Hermione as if she was just a former schoolmate but when Hermione told him he missed him much, his true side emerged and he confessed the same thing too!

***Anyways, too much for the happy part. Hold on for the next chappie. I'll be brutal with it again. I've been feeling light and---light lately that I can't write any morbid stuff [er, not really morbid though]
