"Guess what" Hermione said coming into the dorm on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. She had just been to the library; she was already studying for the N.E.W.T.S
"No who is he?" Draco asked lazily sitting Emma gently in her swing, but when he realized Hermione wasn't laughing he got worried.
"Hermione?" he asked quietly and she turned around, her face tear stricken
"What's wrong?" Draco asked as she walked to the couch and sat down
"Harry" Hermione said through sobs
"What did Potter do this time?" Draco asked putting his arm around her
"He just won't let this go!" she exclaimed putting her face in her hands.
"Shhh" Draco said soothingly and held Hermione close to him rubbing her back gently. But Draco couldn't stand seeing her hurt this way, it made him hurt, he couldn't take it anymore. There was only one thing left to do, talk to Harry.
"I'll be back soon, I have to go somewhere" Draco said pulling away from Hermione
"Where are you going?" Hermione asked
"I'll just be back soon ok" Draco said wiping the last of her tears away and leaving the room.
He had to find Harry, he had to get this stopped, and he finally found him in the Great Hall sitting with Ron.
"Potter, we have to talk" Draco said walking up to him
"Why? So I can beat you up again?" Harry asked he and Ron laughing
"You know that's not what this is about" Draco said very seriously, and the smile on Harry's face disappeared.
"Ok" he agreed not really knowing why
"Alright, lets go" Draco said and Harry followed him outside, once they were out there Draco began talking.
"Ok Potter I'm not here to beat you up or get pissed at you, I'm here to talk about someone that we both care about deeply and you know who that is" Draco said
"Ron?" Harry said stubbornly
"No, Hermione" Draco said
"Oh her" Harry said coldly
"Yes her, Potter she is miserable" Draco confessed
"Well if she hates being with you that much then why doesn't she just breakup with you?" Harry asked
"She's miserable because you and Weasel keep ignoring her and saying things that aren't true. Which I don't understand why she's so heartbroken since obviously neither one of you deserves to even speak to her!" Draco said truthfully
"Oh and you do?" Harry asked leaning against a tree, Draco paused for a minute
"No I don't Potter, but somehow someone mistakenly thought that I was good enough for her, and I'm glad they made that mistake" Draco said finally and left Harry a little bit stunned.
He had one more stop to make but he had to go to Hogsmeade for this one. That night at dinner Draco got Emma from Hermione and asked Ginny to baby sit while he took Hermione somewhere. He blind folded her so that she didn't know where he was taking her. It was still cloudy and they could hear thunder in the distance, once he got Hermione where he wanted her he took off her blindfold.
Hermione gasped at what she saw. Draco had taken her to a sandbar; it looked kind of like a beach only a really small one. It was on the other side of the River. It was hard to see the moon because of the clouds, but it was lightning and thundering now. The lightening reflected off of the River making a beautiful glow.
"Draco…how did you find this?" she asked
"I've known about it for a long time, I come here to think sometimes" he admitted
"It's beautiful" she complimented taking her shoes off
"What are you doing?" he asked smiling
"I like to feel the sand beneath my feet" she explained tossing her shoes to the side, he just smiled at her.
"I have something for you" he said as another clap of thunder sounded
"Oh you do?" she said
"Yes I do" he echoed and pulled a box out of his pocket and handed it to her, Hermione eyed it carefully.
"Open it" he instructed, Hermione lifted the top of the box and her jaw dropped as she saw what was in it.
"It's the locket I saw at Hogsmeade" she gasped, it was just as she remembered it, but somehow it was different. Maybe because Draco was giving it to her.
"I saw you looking at it and I knew you wanted it" he explained "Here turn around" he said taking the necklace from her. She did so and held up her soft Brown curly hair; Draco put the necklace around her neck and clasped it together. Hermione let her hair fall down gently onto her shoulders. Just at that moment lightening and thunder struck and it started to rain fast and hard.
"Come on" Hermione said grabbing his hand but he didn't move.
"We need to go" she said tugging on his hand
"Why?" Draco asked
"Because it's raining silly" Hermione said giggling
"You always said you wanted to dance in the rain, so lets do it" Draco said pulling Hermione into his arms.
Hermione wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and she began to cry, though he couldn't tell because her face was wet anyway. Draco slipped his arms around Hermione's slim waist and began dancing with her.
You've got a way with me Somehow you got me to believe in everything that I could be I've gotta say you really got a way
Hermione laid her head on Draco's strong chest and took in his scent. He smelled like cologne and rain, how they went so well together.
You've got a way with words You get me smiling even when it hurts There's no way to measure what your love is worth I can't believe the way you get through to me
Draco looked down at Hermione; he didn't deserve to be this lucky. To have someone that cared for him in a way that no one ever had before. The rain ran down his face and dripped off of his chin, he was very cold but as long as Hermione was in his arms he didn't care.
It's in the way you want me It's in the way you hold me The way you show me just what love's made of It's in the way we make love
They finished dancing and ran back to the castle just as the storm was letting up, while Hermione got a shower Draco went to get Emma.
"How did it go?" Ginny asked
"Great, she loved it" Draco said taking his sleeping daughter from Ginny's arms
"Draco, I just want you to know that I think Harry and my brother are being stupid, if they knew how happy Mione was they wouldn't be acting like this" Ginny said before he left.
"Thanks Ginny" he replied, he went back to the dorm and put Emma in her crib, Hermione was already ready to go to sleep, she looked exhausted. But when Draco was finished getting ready Hermione was in his bed this time.
"What are you doing?" he asked looking at her quizzically
"I just didn't feel like sleeping alone" she explained "and now your not getting lucky" she added seeing the look on his face.
"I know I know" he replied getting in bed with her and shutting out the lights, they had both been asleep for a few hours when they heard Emma crying.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked picking her up and rocking her back and forth
"Your tired let me handle it" Draco said taking Emma from Hermione.
"You're going to do this?" Hermione asked over the wailing of the baby
"Yes, you need to sleep we have classes tomorrow" Hermione was shocked but she was too tired to argue so she let him go. Draco walked out into the common room and sat down on the couch with Emma.
"Ok, what's wrong?" he asked looking at the child blankly "Right like your going to answer me" Draco said aloud. He tried feeding her, rocking her, burping her; he even tried reading her a story then realization hit. She needs changing.
"Ok" he said trying to calm himself down, he laid her down on the couch and removed her pajamas.
"This is defiantly not how I imagined seeing my first naked girl" Draco said to her, it took him a minute but he finally figured out how to take off the diaper. (A/N: MEN!) He slid it off carefully and slowly.
"Ahh" he said covering his nose "that's disgusting!" he exclaimed and picked up the diaper holding it a foot out in front of him and threw it away. Then he had to figure out how to wipe her and used the baby powder. After he did that he put a fresh diaper on and put on her pajamas. She still didn't go to sleep even though she had stopped crying, he walked into his and Hermione's room but she was sound asleep.
"No use waking her up" Draco said coming back down the stairs and into the common room again.
"Looks like it's just you and me kid" Draco said and Emma giggled.
A/N: ok so what do you think? Give me a review please!
