Note: As I did for the readers of my other story I want to make it very clear that once I start a story I will not stop until it is completed. It's just the way I am; I need one story to be finished before I start another one. And no, I will not be abandoning this story I like the plot and characterization of the characters too much to abandon this story.


Husband Shopping!

Hermione sat in her seat as she listened half-heartedly to the lecture Professor Sickle was giving about protected sex. It was very embarrassing, and Hermione could feel her cheeks burn slightly. Hermione turned to Harry who was sitting next to her and Ginny and his face color rivaled that of Ron's hair whose face was even redder then his hair, if that was even humanly possible.

"During sex a condom might break…" Professor Sickle continued, "So they aren't always a one hundred percent safe guard. So having sex is still a risk no matter how protected you think you are."

Hermione tuned out the young Professor and looked around the room, noticing how the normally nonchalant Slytherins were evening shifting in their seats and giving each other embarrassed gazes. She then notices Malfoy who had rudely burst into class late, and then spoke rudely to the teacher. If it would have been anyone else she would have been shocked but it was Draco Malfoy, and he was known for his rude behavior.

She then noticed how he looked like this whole speech wasn't bothering him at all; it was very mature of him. Hermione scolded herself of thinking Malfoy was anything but a slimy git who deserved nothing but rot in Azkaban and returned her attention to the Professor.

"Since I know there are a large group of you who aren't taking me seriously I think it would best to administer the best kind of birth control." Professor Sickle said getting off of her desk and walking towards a large cherry wood cabinet and opening it slightly, "We will be starting our class project today!"

This cued a chorus of moans and groans from all the students Slytherin and Gryffindor alike. Professor Sickle laughed.

"I know you are all as excited as I am." Professor Sickle said pulling out a top hat from the cabinet, "This project will last from now until the end of the semester." Yet another chorus of complaints, "It's a very cliché muggle project but with a wizarding twist."

"I could only imagine." Ron muttered, he placed his head on the desk and sighed.

"It couldn't be that bad." Hermione said patting his back.

"You all with be caring for a mechanical baby for the next four months in groups of two. And not just any babies, magical enchanted baby who act like real infants." Professor Sickle said with a grin, "And we will be picking partners today! These partners will be your temporary husbands, to love and to hold through sickness and in health." Professor Sickle said taking joy in the reactions of the girls through out the room. And tomorrow I will assign the babies! It'll have to be a pick honey moon then." Sickle whispered the last part under her breath. "Will all the female students make a line in the middle of the room, we will all be picking a name out of the hat!"

Hermione grumbled, Ron had been right. This project was bloody horrible. By the time Hermione and Ginny reached the end of the line they were the two last girls on line. Hermione could over hear certain girls whispering to be paired with a certain boy; Hermione didn't care as long as it wasn't a Slytherin. She'd even work with Colin if that meant she didn't have to work with a Slytherin.

"Wait a second ladies, it seems we have one extra boy, which means this extra boy has to pick as well." There was a silence, "Harry Potter will you join the line please?"

Hermione sighed, of course poor Harry had to join the line and be the only male/male group. He never seemed to be able to catch a break, Hermione gestured for Harry to join her. He gave her a shrug of his shoulders and joins her at the end of the line.

"Of course, Harry Potter saver of the world has to deal with this kind of nonsense." Harry whispered in her ear. Hermione laughed at Harry's comical attitude.

"Just pray you don't get Malfoy." Hermione whispered back laughing at the poor girl who picked him.

"God spare me." Harry whispered back.

Before Hermione knew it there were only three girls ahead of her, then two, then just Ginny.

"Miss. Weasely who did you pick?" Professor Sickle questioned curiously.

"Neville Longbottom ma'am." Ginny said blushing slightly.

"Splendid!" Professor Sickle smiled and gave Ginny a wink. Hermione concluded that the Professor had picked up on the chemistry between the two Gryffindors.

"Ah Miss. Granger, Head Girl, I am very curious who you will pick." The Professor grinned mischievously.

Hermione stuck her hand into the top hat and grabbed the second to last piece of folded parchment, she unfolded it neatly and read the name which had been written neatly in dark green ink:

Draco Malfoy

Hermione had to look twice in order for the situation to register completely. She had picked Draco Malfoy, couldn't she of picked someone else? Why not Ron, or Dean, or Colin or even Seamus, she could of dealt with the irresponsibility of any of those choices but no she had to deal with arrogant, greasy, nasty Draco Malfoy, bastard extraordinaire. She crumbled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it angrily into the waste bin.

"Who did you pick Miss. Granger?" Professor Sickle asked even more curious at who the person was after the reaction the paper had gotten.

"Draco Malfoy." Hermione mumbled, not wanting to say it.

"Sorry deary, who was it?"

"DRACO MALFOY, OKAY!" Hermione screamed, her face red no longer of embarrassment, Hermione stormed back to her seat and crossed her arms looking dangerously at anyone who gave her a wrong look.

Hermione couldn't believe what was happening. She had to temporarily be "married" to Draco Malfoy and take care of a magical baby. She couldn't think of a worse situation, she'd rather face Voldemort one on one with nothing but a muggle Slinky (1) then have to deal with Malfoy.

Everyone had been so enthralled with the situation with Hermione that no one had noticed who Harry had picked out of the hat, something that Harry had been thankful for, for his pick made Harry's heart skip a beat.


(1) I love Slinkies, you cannot deny the greatness of that which is the Slinky!

Yet, another short chapter. But I kind of like to write this story in short chapters it captures the short and suddenness of everything going on. Don't worry another chapter will be up soon!
