Chapter Four: Slips and Secret Keeper
I am so sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I have been having some writer's block and couldn't get any ideas and I think that this chapter is my worst chapter so far, so please bear with me.
All right I have a few questions I need to answer for some reviewers.
Question #1: Since when can you communicate through the mind in Hogwarts?
Answer: I don't know if you can but in my story you can and I will explain why Draco and Hermione can.
Question #2: Since when can teachers be married and have kids to be teachers in Hogwarts?
Answer: You don't have to be married or have kids to be teachers in Hogwarts. I just made Ron and Harry have kids and be married because something might happen between Alex, Cassandra, and Christopher in later chapters but I am not saying what.
Question #3: Why was Alex put in Slytherin?
Answer: His dad was in Slytherin and Alex wanted to know more about his dad so the sorting hat gave him is wish and put him in Slytherin. Also Hermione said "You sound so much like your father sometimes."
If you have anymore questions just email me at on with the story!

Draco sat on his bed the next morning trying to figure out what had just happened. "I can't believe it," stated Draco "She just talked to me…wait we have a son? She must be somewhere around or near Hogwarts. I have to tell Potter!" Draco got up, quickly got dressed and ran down to the Great Hall to talk to Harry.
"So tell me Eloise, are you from America?" asked Ron.
"Actually no, I am from England but I moved to America when I was seventeen to go to Salem University for Witches and Wizards for four years. I lived there until Alex was about six, and then we moved back here into the country side of London," replied Hermione. Just then Draco came running into the Great Hall.
"Headmaster I need to talk to you…. now!" panted Draco. Harry nodded and both of them went outside the Great Hall.
"Draco what is wrong?" asked Harry.
"Hermione…she…called…me…last…night," Draco panted.
"What do you mean called? Did she call you on a phone?" Harry asked.
"Remember when she told you that we found out that Hermione and I were telepathic? Well Dumbledore told us we can communicate though our minds and dreams, and that we were rare. She contacted me and told me how much our son has grown and that she missed me. She has to be somewhere near Hogwarts. I just know it," said Draco.
"Draco I think you need to take the day off. I'll call Severus and tell him you're not feeling well," Harry said. "He can teach your classes today." Draco nodded and went back down to his rooms to see if he could contact Hermione again.
Harry ran back into the Great Room and grabbed Hermione. "Hermione what is this about contacting Draco last night?" demanded Harry. Hermione looked at him in shock.
"What? I didn't…oh no I did! I didn't mean to. I thought I was dreaming and I must not have realized what I was doing." Hermione cried.
"Shhh Hermione don't worry and no more slip ups. Severus will be coming in to teach his classes for the rest of the day," said Harry.
"Harry there is one thing I didn't tell you yesterday. Only one person knew where I was this whole time. I knew he wouldn't tell anyone where I was unless my life or the life of my son was in danger," she said.
"Hermione, who are you talking about? Who is your Secret Keeper?" Harry asked.
"Its Severus Snape. He was the first and only person I told that I was pregnant. I thought he was going to tell Dumbledore, but he asked me if I wanted him to help me tell Albus but I asked him not to. Severus took care of me and performed the check ups on me while I was pregnant, and he did check ups on Alex until he was about three. The day before I left I asked him to be my Secret Keeper until I could come back and tell Draco where I was," replied Hermione.
"I will inform Severus that you and Alex are here and who you are. Is Alex going to try out for Quidditch this year?" asked Harry
"I think he will. He is a natural flyer just like his father, and he a great seeker. He played mock games with some of his friends and he always caught the snitch in less than five minutes. I do hope he tries out this year." Hermione said
Harry and Hermione walked back into the Great Hall to eat the rest of their breakfast. About ten minutes later Ron started to curse.
"Ronald Weasley watch your mouth, and don't chew with your mouth open! There are young children in this room and we don't want them to pick up your bad habits," said a very angry Hermione. Harry then elbowed Hermione and gave her 'you better watch what you are saying if you don't want to be found out' look.
The day went on to be about as normal as normal could get at Hogwarts. Hermione didn't slip up after breakfast, and decided to eat her lunch in her office. After she had finished eating, someone knocked on her door.
"Come in!" Hermione called. When she looked up from her book she saw none other than Severus Snape former potions master of Hogwarts.
"Hello Miss Dodgers or should I call you Miss Granger?" asked Severus.
"In private Hermione will do but in public you must call me Eloise. Should I call you Professor, sir, or Severus?" replied Hermione.
"Severus will be just fine. How is Alex? I haven't seen him since he was three years old." Severus said.
"He is doing well. He is starting to look more like Draco everyday. Just the other day I saw a blonde hair on his head. I think he is going to be blonde before this year is over." Hermione stated.
"Yes that happens with Malfoy boys. If they are away from their father so long their hair will turn the color of their mother but if he is around his father more than usual it will turn back into the father's hair color. You better hope that Draco's veela side doesn't kick in when he is around you, because you know that you are Draco's life mate and he can smell you when you are at least a mile away." replied Severus
"I do happen to know he is part veela! Do you know how hard it is for me to be around him and not snog him senseless? It kills me everyday to not be in his arms or to wake up alone every morning. But I am going to tell him on Halloween since I have a little thing planned for him. Wait did you just say I was his life mate?" Hermione asked
"Yes, you are his life mate. He found out the day before you left. He was gonna tell you at your graduation but you left, he hasn't been or touched another woman since you left. It kills him not to be with you. I suprized that he even asked you out and you bettertell himor I will tell him myself and who knows if he would forgive you." with that statement Snape left her room his black robes following him.
Half an hour later Alex came running into her office. "Mum guess what!" Alex said
"Did you make the Quidditch team?" asked Hermione, with a fond smile on her face.
"Yes I made seeker and so did Cassandra we are the second and third youngest ever to be on the Quidditch team since Headmaster Potter!" cheered Alex. Alex and Hermione talked about Quidditch until it was time for dinner.
Dinner went on as usual except for Draco looking over at Hermione once in awhile.
"Excuse me but Eloise would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" Draco asked.
"Yes Draco I would be delighted to go with you," replied Hermione. Draco then went back to eating his meal with a big smile on his face, as did Hermione and the rest of the staff at the table.

Author Notes and comments
All right there is chapter four. I am sorry if it really sucks but I couldn't come up with anything.
I promise that Draco will find out who Hermione is. But we have to have them go though their firsts again.
Next chapter will be called "First date again"
I am also going to try to put in a Quidditch match in here and I am also thinking that Draco finds out who Hermione is before Halloween and if they should stay together. Tell me if you think I should do different. I also might have some people from Draco's past come up in the next few chapters.
Well Read and Review please feedback is great!
BTW thank you Draco's Sexy Bitch for beta-ing this chapter for me!
