Chapter 8

Dilemma

Hermione excitedly smiled at him as he stood before her door step. He stared at her in complete confusion.

"What's with the smile, Granger?" Draco asked as he stared at her.

"I just had an idea what to do for this afternoon." She answered. He let him in and went right upstairs. He followed her.

"What do you plan?" He asked. He was sensing of a bad thing to happen. With that smile of hers, the worst could happen. He never mistook her smile for that one. He really knew what it means.

"You think I'll spoil the surprise?" She laughed. He cringed with her laugh.

She grabbed her robes and readied herself. "Let's go?"

Draco shrugged and turned again for the door.

Stepping outside, Hermione saw a black BMW parked across her door. She stared at it in awe.

"Wow. Who owns that?" She muttered and laughed, walking past it.

"I do." Draco said, as he stopped walking. "We could use it wherever we go. Just tell me the directions."

She stopped and turned to him. She took a step towards him and stared at him. "Then it won't be a surprise anymore." She muttered. "We could take the substation anyway. That would be better."

"Better? There are lots of people in a substation."

"So? You are not disgusted with muggles are you?" She asked.

He shook his head. "That's not what I meant."

"Of course it is. So you mean you are disgusted with me? I am a mud blood anyway, right?"

He coldly stared at her. He didn't like where this conversation was going. "I am not disgusted with muggles or mudbloods. Period."

Hermione cocked an eyebrow and stared him down. It was good to hear something like that from a person like him. "Then we shall take the station." She declared and walked off. Draco just sighed and followed her. She seemed to boss him around every single day they see each other. Talk about revenge.

Reaching the station, Hermione sneered and turned to him. "Go on. Buy our tickets." She muttered.

Draco pouted.

Hermione placed her hands on her waist. "Stop pouting!" She said and turned to the gentleman in his uniform. "Two tickets please." She smiled at Draco. "You pay for it."

Draco stared at her and pulled out some money. This is going to be a long day. He muttered.

"Hurry up! We'll miss it!" Hermione exclaimed. Draco rolled his eyes and turned back to the old man in charge.

"Keep the change." He muttered.

"Nice young lady you have." The old man uttered in his harsh voice. Must have been the effect of cigarettes and bad habits.

"Well, she could have been nicer if she would stop yelling at me." Draco grumbled. The old man just laughed.

"Well, I know that girl. She used to go here with another man. A tall, dark haired man. Just like your age. She also bosses him around like she does to you." The old man smiled at him.

Draco glanced at Hermione. "Do you know who she was with?"

"The dark haired man?" The old man thought for a second. "I don't really know his name. But I think it was her boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Draco was suddenly getting a wind out of it.

"Yup. You know how two lovers stare at each other? Those twinkling little eyes of theirs? I always witness that with them." The old man smiled at Hermione.

"Do you know where he is now? The dark haired man?" Draco asked.

The old man paused a moment again. "I really don't know. But last year, she went here alone, crying. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but of course, I couldn't. She looked like she won't be able to speak with those tears. Maybe they broke up or something."

Draco stared at Hermione. He didn't know… "Um… what is your name, sir?"

"Oh, Bert." The old man answered. "And don't you call me sir."

"Alright. Bert." Draco smiled at him.

"Malfoy!" Hermione called out. "The subway's coming!"

"Yeah!" Draco answered and turned to Bert again. "Well, nice talking to you, Bert. I'm Draco Malfoy, by the way." He muttered to him and shook hands with him. Bert smiled at him and nodded.

"Draco Malfoy. Well, you take care of yourself and that fine lady. Go on now. Or she might beat you up." Draco laughed at that and waved good bye, running towards Hermione.

Hermione smiled at Draco and pulled him into the subway.

And in a moment, they were in Ginny's place.

Draco stared at the homey house in horror. He couldn't believe they were to baby-sit a pregnant woman. "We're going to stay here for the whole afternoon!" He wanted to run back home.

"Yes. Isn't it a great surprise?" Hermione sneered at him. Draco glared at her and sighed in defeat. He wouldn't be able to escape this now, now that they're here.

After a few doorbells, Ginny Weasley stepped up and greeted them. But seeing Draco, she just gaped and was paralyzed. Draco smiled at her.

"Hello there, Weasley." Draco started. Hermione turned to Ginny, waiting for her response.

Ginny, meanwhile, glanced at Hermione, shock still paralyzing her. "Well, what a surprise." She glanced back at Draco. "You're here, Malfoy."

"Yup. He's going to join us." Hermione smiled at Ginny. "Won't it be fun?"

Ginny suddenly grinned and smiled. "Yes, it would be fun. The more the merrier!"

Draco couldn't believe he was going to be stuck here, baby sitting a pregnant woman.

"Well, let's all go inside now, before we freeze to death." Ginny uttered and let them in. Draco hesitantly did so.

Entering the homey gooey house, he almost stopped breathing as he saw all the pink, fluffy pillows lined up on the lavender sofas. He stared at the bright yellow carpet, his eyes feeling a little sore. He glanced at the small figurines displayed along the center table, some were ballerinas, some were babies, and on the center was a wedding couple dressed for their wedding. He just wanted to puke.

I'm gonna die crazy here! Draco exclaimed in his mind, feeling the need to weep.
