JupermanPinkyInc: Thanks, I'm glad you like it, and you'll see what Hermione does.
i am not a chipmuck: Glad your liking it! I'm updatin' now!
XxInstanityxX: Thanks, I'm happy your enjoying it. I hope to see some for reviews for you, 'cause here's another chapter!
onion of a differnt race: lol I'm sorry, but I love cliffhangers! I never plan on having them, but they just come up. Like POOF! CLIFFHANGER! lol I'll try not too have cliffhangers but if they emerge, they emerge, and they really help me so I know where exactly I should pick up for the next chapter. Well, I can't really tell you if they get back together, but I can say the whole Freddy-Jason/Ginny thing is one of my favourite parts of the story. Aw, thanks! I was completely lost on what Draco should do and how he should react. But when I got writting it I felt I knew exactly what he should do, and how he reacts. Mariah really is the kind of person who would, if she saw someone she knew would run over and hug them. I really thought it was sweet too, Draco is so fun to write, I can write him probaly anyway but how he was in this chapter, but I did my best! I hope you like this chapter.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hermione: -whines- Am not!
Ash: Hermione your being annoying! Whinning is annoying
Hermione: You whine
Draco: Yes, but it's cute when she does it, it's annoying when you do

Ash: It's cute when he does it.
Draco: -smirks-
Hermione: Not fair!
Draco: You heard the lady, I'm adorable, you annoying, case closed. Tea, anyone?

"Mummy! Look it's daddy! I founded him!" Mariah said, she was very pleased with herself (A/N: Ok forget Hermione told Mariah Draco did something, I have a new idea)
"Yeah, you sure did, sweeite." Hermione said, picking Mariah up and giving her a kiss on the forhead.
"Aren't you happy, mummy?"
"Hm? Oh, uh yes, I'm very happy." Hermione lied, in truth, Hermione really was pleased
Draco looked up, not sure if Hermione truely meant what she said, or that she was saying it for Mariah's sake.
"Mummy! I didn't bring daddy here for you to look at him!" Mariah said, crossing her little arms
"Hello, Draco." Hermione said, smileing for Mariah's sake
"Hey, Hermione." Draco replied with a nod
"Mya, you and Draco really need to talk. I'll take Mariah home, and you two, please talk." Ginny said "Come here, Mo." Ginny took Mariah from Hermione
"I wanna stay with daddy and mummy!" Mariah whinned, trying to wiggle her way out of Ginny's arms
"Sweetie, daddy and mummy need to have a talk, ok?"
"I don't wanna leave daddy! Or mummy! I wanna stay!" Mariah said, tears of fear comming down her face.
She was terrified that she would never see her father again.
"Shhh, baby, I promise, daddy isn't going anywhere." Hermione said, comming over and giving the crying girl a hug.
"Y-You promise?" Mariah asked, whipping her silver eyes, gripping Draco's arm
"I promise, sweetie. I promise you'll see daddy again." Hermione whispered to Mariah
"Ok." Mariah said, letting go of Draco's arm when she was positive he wasn't going anywhere
"Ok, come on, babe." Ginny said, "I'll see you later." She mouthed to Hermione, she nodded, and Ginny walked away, Mariah looking over her shoulder.
"Come on, Jason, we should leave too." Pansy said, grabbing Freddy's hand
"But, I'm hungry!" Freddy whinned
"I'll make you something at home, come on, Jason!" Pansy said, she pulled Freddy away and out the door
"Why don't we sit?" Draco said, nodding to a couple chairs
"Alright." Hermione said, making her way to a chair and she sat down, Draco sitting next to her
"So, how've you been, Hermione?"
"Fine, and yourself?" Hermione asked
"Fine. Listen, Hermione, at least let me explain myself." Draco said
"Draco-"
"No, Hermione, you never listened to me. I want to at least tell you what really happend, because I know you got the wrong idea."
"Fine." Hermione said
"Ok, well, it all started really when my father wrote me, and well you can imagine what he said. But, even though he didn't say it then, I knew he wanted me to become a Death Eater. Remeber his little 'visit'?" Draco asked, she nodded. "Well, that's when he begen talking about when I was to recieve my mark, meet Voldemort, all that shit. When I told him I didn't want to be a Death Eater, he uh, well he didn't take it very well."
"So, is that why you were in the hospital wing the second week of seventh year?" Hermione asked
"Yeah, quite a temper my dad has, eh? Well, before he left, he said I'd take the mark wether I liked it or not. He really meant that, because, well you pretty much know this part. 'Round December, he came and got me out of school, using the 'family emergency' excuse. Dumbledore, stupidly, let me go. Well, it turns out, that night I met old Voldie, and well..." He rolled up his sweetshirt sleeve, to reveal his Dark Mark
Hermione gasped, she knew about the other stuff, but she didn't know he actually had the mark. She reached out her hand and ran her fingers over the mark.
"D-Draco." Hermione whispered
"Yeah, then my dad put the Imperius Curse on me and well you know the rest." Draco said
"Yeah..." Hermione said rembering what he had done.
"Look, Hermione, I'm so sorry. I tried fighting it, I really did, but-"
"No, Draco, I'm the one who should be sorry, I never even let you explain, I just picked up and left. I thought you did all of that on your own free will. I'm so sorry." Hermione said, tears comming to her eyes
"Don't cry, Hermione." Draco said, using his thumb to wipe the falling tears from her face
"I-I can't h-help it." Hermione said
Draco pulled her into a hug, and she cried into his shoulder.
"Well, we have another issue to discuss." Hermione said, whiping her eyes
"Yeah, we do."
"Mariah's going to want to see you again, you and I know that. She's going to want a full family, not living with her mother, and seeing her father whenever."
Draco nodded.
"So, I guess that means..."
"Moving in together." Draco finished Hermione's sentence.
"Yes. My house is so small. There's no room for anyone else." Hermione said
"Well, I have more then enough room." Draco said
"Live in the manor?" Hermione asked
Draco nodded.
"Ok, so one thing's been taking care off."
"Yeah, one thing, how many other things?" Draco asked
"Too many to count, Draco, too many to count."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'm sorry Freddy hasn't had a big part in the story yet, but don't worry he will later on, I had to take care of Hermione and Draco's problem's first.
