OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Last time on 'Once Lost, Now Found' :

"Mom why are you crying?" Elis asked, enveloping her mom in his arms.

"Hun, I didn't want it to be like this but," Hermione said, then took a great breath. "This is your father, Draco Malfoy."

And with that, she fainted, but Draco caught her in his arms.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO


Chapter Third

Draco hurried over to the bench they were sitting a couple minutes earlier and set Hermione down. 'Wow,' he thought.'We finally found her!'

About half an hour later, Hermione woke up to Elis shaking her violently.

"Mommy mommy, please wake up, don't leave me alone, please mom," he pleaded , crying at the same time.

"It's ok hun, I'm here, everything's gonna be alright," said Hermione, calming the little boy she had in her arms.

"Hermione!" said Draco, getting up from the another bench he was sitting on.

"Yes," said Hermione as if she was defeated.

"Um, I know this is really. Awkward. But, um, we want you to come back to the magical world Hermione," said Draco searching for the right words.

"And exactly who is 'we'?" she asked.

"Well, a lot of people. Ron, Harry, Pansy -" he was cut off by Hermione though.

"Whoa whoa whoa, you've recently talked to Harry and Ron, and you don't call them by their last names. What happened?"

"Well, you were there during seventh year, don't you remember ?''

"Oh ... right.'' She still didn't understand a few things.

''But I thought you and Ron never really got along!'' she said.

''You're right. And it's still that way. Actually, I get along better with his sister than him, but anyways. We've all really missed you ... and I think you have some explaining to do though' he said nodding towards Elis.

"Oh. Yeah. You're right I guess."

During the whole conversation, Elis sat on the floor looking at each adult when it was their turn to talk to the other. Of course, he didn't understand about what they were talking about. He decided to take action.

"HEY!" he screamed. Both adults jumped a bit then looked at Elis.

"Yes hun?" said Hermione.

"Would you mind explaining everything to me?" he said annoyingly."Magical world, this Harry, and Ron, The Slythemins, and the Light Side? What's this all about," he asked, confused.

"Ok, I got an idea," said Draco out of the blue.

"Yeah, what?" asked Elis.

"We're all going to go to Hermione's place, and your place too I guess," he said to Elis," and then everybody's gonna explain everything to the other people. Deal?"

Hermione and Elis both thought for a moment before Elis nodded his head vigorously. "I guess I don't have a choice, do I," said Hermione.

"Nope, you don't mum," said Elis.

So the three went back to Draco's car, hopped in it and Draco drove to Hermione's appartement. When they were there, Draco got out of the car first and went to the other side of the car to open the door for Hermione and Elis, anything a gentleman would do.

They went inside and when they reached the fifth floor, Hermione open the door with the number 208 on it. They went in. Draco sat on the couch, Elis beside him, and Hermione in front of them on a comfortable recliner chair.

"What do you wanna know," she asked to both of them in general. When Elis saw Draco open his mouth to talk, he cut him off abruptly.

"Wait, before you guys start your stuff, I want to know what you guys were talking about," he said, looking between Hermione and Draco. "And I wanna know if it's true that Draco is my father."

"Yes, it is true that he's your father."

At this point, Elis was already hugging the life out of Draco. The older blond was surprised by this act of love for a moment, before he started to hug his son back. Hermione rolled her eyes. When Draco saw this, he smirked at her.

"Guess the old smirk isn't gone," she remarked.

"Nope."

"Ok, so Elis, what do you generally want to know," said Draco. Elis thought for a moment before saying, "Pretty much everything, ay?''

Hermione laughed at the Canadian reference he made.

''You need to stop watching Canadian Soaps after school ... anyways. You see Elis, there's this world called the magical world. We can do magic in it. People who can do magic are called witches or wizards. Then, depending on your parentage, you're called a muggle born, a half-blood, or a pureblood."

"What's the difference?" Elis asked curiously.

"If you're a muggle born, it means you have two parents that can't do magic. If you're a half-blood, you have one parent that can do magic, and the other can't. And if you're a pureblood, like I am, it means you both have parents that can both do magic," explained Draco to his son.

"When you're 11 years old in the magical world, you have to start going to a magic Academy. When you'll be 11 Elis, you're gonna go to Hogwarts Academy. You stay in the school for seven years learning, well, magic. When you graduate, you'll be a full-pleged wizard. You'll be able to apparate, you'll be able to do magic whenever you want," said Hermione this time.

"Ok, I think I got it, but what's that you called apparate?" he asked.

"It's when you thin hard about somewhere you want to be really hard, and when you wish to be in that place, you travel to it. Watch this. I want to go to the other side of the room, or let's say, I'm going to go in the kitchen. Okay, here goes," said Draco.

He seemed as though he was concentrating hard and with a small 'pop', he disappeared out of the living room. Elis jumped.

"Where'd he go?" he said.

"In the kitchen hun," Hermione said calmly. Unlike Elis, she was used to apparating. "Ok, look, I'll do the same thing. I'll apparate into the kitchen, so when I disappeared come running into the kitchen and you'll find us, ok hun?"

"Um.Yeah.Sure"

Hermione did the same thing as Draco, and disapparated with a little pop. Elis thought both adults were joking, but after 5 minutes of waiting, he ran into the kitchen. When he arrived there, he saw Hermione and Draco having a conversation.

"So you're saying that you've been a full-pledged auror for five years now, and so have Harry and Ron, and you're kinda best mates now! Dear God, they're trying to replace me. We all grew up alongside each other. We needed each other like a sandwich needs bread! So...when they lost me, since the war was over, you guys became aurors, trained together, and now they're gonna make you take my place. I can't believe those two, how could they even think-" but Hermione never got to finish that sentence as Draco put a finger to her lips. It immediately shut her up.

"They're not trying to replace you. But I can tell you one thing. They don't go one single day saying, 'I wonder what would've happened had Hermione stayed with us'," said Draco wistfully.

"Sure, and Snape's favorite color is purple!" Hermions said sarcastically.

"Well, I personally think he would like pink better, but that's for another day."

"MOM!DAD!" screamed Elis, making his way in between the two adults. "Please, stop fighting. Now, you're both going to sit down and apologize to the other before I force you to become friends again," he said.

"We didn't do anything!" said both Draco and Hermione at the same time. They both laughed for a while, before locking eyes with the other, and then looking confused, they turned back to Elis.

"Yeah, um, Elis, um, son?" said Draco uncomfortably.

"Yeah what?" said the young boy, irritated.

"Why don't you go to sleep honey, you've had quite an interesting night," said Hermione taking over.

"Um, yeah, go to sleep," agreed Draco.

Elis nodded, hugged Hermione and then turned to Draco. They proceeded to hug rather bizarrely, Draco given this was the first real encounter with his son, and Elis given Draco was a bit too tall for him. After that, Elis relunctantly marched up to his room.

"Look," started Draco, turning to look Hermione in the eye. "Um, Granger, well, eh, Hermione. All I want, and probably Ron and Harry do too, is for you to come back to the wizarding world. Please?" he added in what he hoped was an innocent tone. Hermione looked at him with unease.

"Look, I'll consider it and maybe we can join a sort of understanding. You still don't know why I've gone into hiding for the last 8 years don't you?''

"Right-o, you'lll have toe explain yourself over tea tommorow morning then ! I'll pick you up at 10 and we can talk about this and much more afterwards," said Draco as he headed for the door. He opened it and started walking down the hall when Hermione stopped him.

"Malfoy! Hey wait, unfair !"

He turned around quite fast which resulted to him banging into a plant. He fell rather clumsily to the floor, and rolled over to see Hermione biting her lip, fighting against the urge to laugh.

"Go ahead, laugh Granger," said Draco clearly irritated by the fact that he could so such a stupid thing in front of such a beautiful woman.'Wait a second, since when has she been beautiful?' he asked himself.

'Since you shagged her in your last year, you arse!' another part of his mind replied. He cursed himself.

'Right-o.' He looked up at her and smirked. ''Yes?'' he asked.

''Fine then,tea at 10. But don't be late,'' said Hermione turning herself and going back into her appartement.

Content with himself and the way tommorow was going to be, he got back up and walked down the stairs. If Hermione was surprised at today's events, she had another surprise coming her way .

OoOoOoOoOoO
