Chapter 2

It was during the feast now. Brady was finally asleep for more than 20 minutes. Hermione was now picking at her plate which was full. She had eaten very little.

HP- Who is that Hermione?

HG- That's Braydon or Brady.

RW- Is he yours?

HG- Ummmm no he's my brother. I can't believe you thought he was mine. I see what you think of me as now. You think I'm some whore off the streets. Well I'm not.

RW- Well if the shoe fits. Why is he with you anyways?

HG- Because he is! Just leave me alone!

Hermione walks out of the Great Hall with Braydon and heads to Dumbledore's office. She gets there and heads up to the office after telling the gargoyle the password. She sits down and take out a bottle and starts to feed Brady before anyone came up. Draco walks in and sits across from Hermione. But Hermione is sending Draco death glares, because Brady starts to get upset.

DM- Look I'm sick of fighting with you. I know that it maybe hard to believe but I want to be friends with you.

HG- Me too. I'm sick of fighting. But we've hated each other for years, we can't just be friends. People would notice.

DM- Well maybe we can say that Dumbledore wants us to be friends since we're Heads in all.

HG- Okay that might work. Hopefully it will.

Hermione and Draco sit in silence for a while. Even Brady is quiet. But then he starts to cry. Hermione sighs and starts to sweet talk him and bounce him, but he keeps crying.

HG- (to Braydon)- Come on Braydon please be quiet. Please. You've been crying all day.

DM- So who is this lil' thing again? I don't remember what you told me earlier.

HG- This is Braydon or Brady for short. He's my umm brother, he's only two months old.

DM- Why is he with you? Why isn't he with your parents.

HG- Well you see its kind of hard to explain.

DM- Just explain it as best as you can.

HG- I can't. I just can't. I'll tell you but not now its to painful. No one knows and I don't intend on telling anyone yet. Not even Dumbledore. I'm sorry I hope you understand.

DM- I understand, but I'm here when your ready to tell me. I mean you can't keep this secret for ever.

HG- Yea I know but I don't want people to know. They'll hate me. Even you.

DM- We just became friends I can't hate you that soon.

HG- Yes you would.

At this time Dumbledore walks into the room and goes behind his desk to sit in his chair.

PD- Now I'm am very pleased to have you to as the Heads of Houses this year. There will be a lot of work, you will patrol the hallways every night from 10 pm to 1 am. You will also plan when the Quidditch matches will be and what dates the students may go into Hogsmeade. Now, you two may go into Hogsmeade at any time as long as you let me or Professor McGonagall know about it and you don't tell any of the other students where you are going. Also on the weekends that everyone goes to Hogsmeade, you will patrol but you may also shop. Now, I hope you two stop the feud between you and work things out. Now when you patrol, you will patrol together, there is no exception to this. If you find someone out of bed give them two detentions and twenty points taken off of their houses. Now, about your living needs, you will share a common room and a bathroom but not a bedroom, now when you get there you can think of what you want your room to look like and it will change to that. Anytime you want your room to change just think of what you want it to look like and it will change. Now I see that we have other matters to discuss. And that is Braydon here. Now I don't mind him staying here, in fact it'd be nice to have him here. But what relation is he to you?

HG- He's my brother.

PD- I see, well why does he have to stay with you?

HG- Can we please not talk about that. I really don't want to say.

PD- Okay well, When I show you the room I'll add a room adjoining to yours and will make it sound proof so Mr. Malfoy here won't hear him if he cries. I will also put baby monitors and stuff in here so that you will be able to take good care of him. I will also send Dobby to your room and he can take care of Braydon until you get done with classes. But after your classes are done you will have to take care of him because Dobby will have to get back to the kitchens.

HG- Thank you Professor.

PD- But I also need to make sure its okay with Mr. Malfoy here. He also has to live in the room and it should be his choice too. So is it okay with you Draco?

DM- Yes it is. I would like you to know that me and Granger are on speaking terms and are trying to be friends.

HG- Well if we're going to be friends then you can't keep calling me Granger.

DM- Okay.

PD- Well we should be going now. I want you to patrol tonight until 2. You have classes in the morning so make sure you go right to bed after the patrolling is over. Now, if you need to get into the houses for any reason here are the passwords for you both. Memorize them then burn them. We can't have a repeat of third year. Now. Lets go.

They walk out and into the hallways. Hermione was carrying a sleeping Braydon. He went to sleep listening to Dumbledore talking. They walked to their wing and came to a portrait of a girl who was about Hermione and Draco's age.

PD- Hello Melanie.

M - Hello Dumbledore. How are you today?

PD- I'm fine. Here are the new heads for this year. Hermione and Draco meet Melanie.

HG- Hello

DM- Hey

PD- Now you get to choose what your password is going to be. You two decide together.

DM- How about unwanted mistakes.

HG- That's fine.

M - Okay unwanted mistakes it is.

She opens up to reveal a huge common room. It was about the size of the Great Hall.

PD- Now I'm going to go and set up Braydon's room. I'll be back in about 15 minutes. Make yourselves comfortable you may go to your room and decorate but that will only take a minute.

He walks out, and opens a door that he just made appear with a simple spell.

HG- How about we go together? You can do yours and then we can go to mine and I can do mine.

DM- Okay.

They walk into Draco's room. He concentrates hard on how he wants his room to look. It suddenly turns to a dark blue walled room. The bed is king sized with silk sheets and a very very very warm comforter, which are also blue. He has an oak desk and an oak dresser with a stereo on it. There is also an oak night stand with his alarm clock on it and a lamp.

DM- You like?

HG- Yes. Lets go do mine.

They go into Hermione's which is on the opposite side of Draco's. Hermione also concentrates hard on what she wants hers to look like. Suddenly everything turns black. The sheets the carpet the walls. Except there is a black light hanging from the ceiling giving off a purple glow. She looks at Draco and he's suprised.

HG- No I'm just kidding. I just wanted to see the look on your face. Okay I'll be serious.

Hermione thinks really hard. The room turns a lavender color. With dark purple silk sheets, and a lavender bed spread. They carpet was creamy colored. All the furniture was oak. The bed was queen sized. Their was a border of lilacs and other violets and wildflower going across the very top of the 20' ceiling. Their was a window seat with purple pillows of all colors. It was perfect.

DM- Its gorgeous 'Mione. (Just like you he's thinking)

HG- What'd you call me?

DM- 'Mione. Is there something wrong with that?

HG- No, its just only one person called me that before.

DM- Who?

HG- O never mind.

DM- Okay

They walk out into the common room and sit on the couch. Braydon wakes up and starts to cry.

HG- (to Braydon)- Come on. Go back to sleep. Please. You haven't been sleeping very long. Maybe you'll sleep all night for once.

Dumbledore comes out of Braydon's new room.

PD- Okay Hermione. Here is the baby monitors. Now you can go lay him in his crib for now if you want. But you will have to take him when you patrol.

Hermione gets up and walks into Braydon's room. It was perfect. It was a little boys dream room. She carefully laid Braydon down in his crib and walked out into the common room to speak with Dumbledore.

PD- Now then, it is now 9:15 so you have 45 minutes before you need to start patrolling. I will see you both later. Goodbye.

Draco walks Dumbledore to the door, while Hermione sits on the couch trying to fall asleep. She slowly falls asleep with the baby monitor next to her. Draco walks to the bathroom to take a shower before they leave to patrol.

Draco's POV

I wonder why Hermione won't tell anyone why she has Braydon. He's a tyrant, I swear he hasn't slept a full half an hour at a time since I've met him. I wonder how Hermione gets any sleep. I'm kind of curious as to what made Hermione mad at Ron and Harry before we went to Dumbledore's office. I guess they aren't the Golden Trio anymore. I should ask her about that tonight while we are patrolling.

End of Draco's POV

Draco gets out of the shower. He returns to the common room after being gone 20 minutes to see Hermione still sleeping, but it didn't last long. Hermione shot up as a cry came from the baby monitor. Hermione sighs and gets up to go and calm down Braydon. Draco sits on the couch and grabs the baby monitor and listens to Braydon.

HG- (To Braydon)- Come on Braydon be quiet. You need to sleep. If you sleep I can sleep and it'll make mo... me very happy. Please be quiet I have classes tomorrow.

Draco goes into Braydon's room to talk to Hermione.

DM- In like 15 minutes we need to leave cuz we have Head duties.

HG- Okay.

Hermione starts scurrying around looking for a bag to put diapers, bottle, tors and other miscellaneous things.

DM- Woah, calm down we still have time.

HG- I still have to go change him and then try and get him to go asleep.

DM- Okay let me do that while you go and get ready.

HG- No, I did this to myself. I have to do this myself its my own fault.

DM- What's you fault? What aren't you telling me Hermione I don't like to be left in the dark.

Hermione snaps her head up as she finally realizes what she said.

HG- Oh never mind.

DM- Obviously its something. Or you wouldn't be so defensive.

HG- Its nothing Malfoy just leave me alone! You wouldn't understand. No one would

DM- So I'm Malfoy now? Why are you suddenly calling me Malfoy? I can't ask you a simple question without you turning on me? How do you know I wouldn't understand? You don't you just won't give me the chance to understand you!

Draco stalks out of the room and then Hermione heard a loud bang which woke up Braydon

HG- (to herself)- Why did I have to do this? Why couldn't I just told him, I can't keep this secret forever. Its eating me up inside. I should go find him and tell him.

Hermione grabs Braydon's bag and heads out the door in search of Draco.
