Chapter 2: A Day In The Park

Hermione was sleeping peacefully when Draco, Jason, and Natalia snuck into her room.

"MOMMY!" Natalia screamed shaking Hermione's shoulder.

Hermione's eyes popped open. She sighed when her brain registered that it was Natalia shaking her.

"Good morning." she whispered sitting up.

"Why aren't you dressed yet?" the little girl asked.

"Oh, uh, sorry Natalia, why don't you take your brother out into the living room so I can get ready, okay?"

Natalia nodded, grasped her brother's hand, and led him out of the room. Hermione buried her face in her hands and groaned.

Draco started laughing at her state.

"It's not funny." Hermione replied, her voice muffled by her hands.

Draco snorted, "Get ready and be outside in ten minutes."

He turned around and left the room, slamming the door shut behind him.

Hermione groaned again and climbed out of bed. She walked into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, then brushed out her hair and put it back into a high ponytail. She walked back out into her room and changed into jeans and a comfortable hooded sweatshirt.

Hermione left her suite and bid the two guards who watched her room good-bye.

She made her way through the castle, and left, meeting up with Draco who was leaning against the car, waiting for her.

"Finally!" he exclaimed pushing himself off the car and walking towards her.

Hermione glared at him, "You can be such a prick sometimes!"

Draco crossed his arms over his chest, "What happened to you? Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?"

"Last night you were so sweet to your kids, and now you're acting like a jerk! You were so rude this morning!"

Draco rolled his eyes and walked even closer to her, "Did you really expect that'd I'd become all nice after we left school?"

"Yes, I did. But I can see that I was wrong. Very wrong."

"You don't have to like me. Just take care of my kids, that's all I ask."

Draco stepped up to her and lifted her chin with one of his fingers, forcing her to look at him.

"Just stay on my good side and we'll be fine. I don't think we'll have any problems, Hermione." he hissed.

"I don't have a clue as to why those kids love you." Hermione said coldly.

"Don't you ever question the love for my kids, or their love for me," Draco whispered dangerously, his eyes flashing with anger, "They are the only life I have."

Hermione pushed his hand off her face, "Well maybe if you let someone else in, they wouldn't be your only life."

Draco raised one of his delicate eyebrows.

"Are you suggesting that I actually let you get to know me?" he asked.

Hermione shrugged, "It can't hurt, can it?"

"More than you know."

Hermione glared at him angrily.

"Play nice and maybe, just maybe, you'll get to know me and my family a little better." Draco told her.

"Oh, what an honor that would be." Hermione whispered sarcastically.

Draco glared at her, "Are you ready?"

"If you are."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Don't mock me Granger."

"Daddy, can Jason and I go play in the sandbox?" Natalia asked sweetly, batting her eyes.

"Sure, just stay where we can see you alright?" Draco replied.

Natalia nodded and led Jason to the sandbox to play.

Hermione set down a blanket making sure there were no sticks or rocks. She finally sat down and began watching the two kids play in the sandbox.

Draco sat down next to her on the blanket and sighed.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have brought up the kids." Hermione said quietly.

Draco shrugged carelessly, "I really don't care about what people say anymore."

Hermione turned her head to look at him, "Why?"

"Do you know all I've been through in the past 10 months? Everyone starts up rumors and only you know the real answers. Pansy had a great time trying to convince the world I was only keeping the kids to punish her." Draco spat out.

Hermione swallowed, trying to get the cotton-like feeling out of her throat, "She was lying, right?"

Draco smirked, "Even you don't believe I could be that caring."

Hermione placed her hand on his shoulder, "I know you love those kids."

Draco shook his head, "That's what they all say."

"Why are so cold towards everyone?" Hermione asked, taking her hand off his shoulder.

Draco turned to look at her, "Why do you care Granger?"

"I though I'd try and be a good friend." She muttered.

Draco snorted.

"And that's another thing – "

"Mommy! Daddy! Help! Jason ate a spider!" Natalia exclaimed rushing over to them with Jason.

"What!" Draco asked taking Jason from his little daughter.

"He ate a spider!" Natalia repeated!

"Try and get him to burp it up!" Hermione said frantically.

"And how am I supposed to do that! He ate two hours ago!"

"Try and stick your fingers in the back of his throat!" Hermione instructed.

Draco narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously, but tried to stick his fingers in his son's mouth.

"OW!" he screamed pulling back his hand, "He bit me!"

"Then try patting his back as if you were burping him." Hermione replied.

Draco sat Jason on his lap and began patting his back, trying to get his to burp or throw up.

Hermione turned to Natalia who was watching with wide eyes.

"Natalia sweetie," she said calmly, "What did the spider look like? What color was it? How big was it?"

"It was all different colors! And it was tons bigger than those little ones Daddy steps on for me!"

Hermione raised her eyebrows, "Have you ever seen it before? Was it one of those spiders your Daddy tells you to stay away from because they're dangerous?"

"I've seen it lots of times! Daddy beings them home to me when he goes to England!"

"Really?"

"Uh huh!"

Natalia smiled and pulled out a package full of gummy insects from some sort of candy shop.

Hermione's eyes widened. She ripped the bag out of Natalia's hands and rushed over to Draco, who was still trying to get Jason to burp.

"Draco! STOP! It's alright!" she exclaimed stopping Draco's hand from hitting Jason's back again.

"What now!" he shouted angrily, worry etched across his face.

"It wasn't a real spider! It was some candy Natalia had!" Hermione explained handing him the package of candy.

Draco sighed and fell back against the trunk of a tree as Jason began crying.

Hermione took the little boy from his hands and rocked him in her arms.

Natalia rushed over to her, "Will he be alright?"

Hermione smiled and pulled her into a one-arm hug.

"Yes, he'll be just fine." She whispered.

"Is Daddy mad at me? I didn't mean to give him one. It fell out of my pocket and he picked it up and ate it before I could stop him." Natalia said, tears forming in her eyes.

Draco sighed again, and went over to Hermione, Jason, and Natalia.

"I could never be mad at you Natalia. Don't worry, everything's fine." He said sitting next to Hermione.

Natalia sniffled and crawled over to where he was, hugging her father.

"But next time, try not to let him take anything he's not supposed to have, alright?" Hermione asked.

Natalia nodded, and then started giggling as Draco tickled her.
