Chapter 5: Empty Insults
It was Monday morning and Hermione was waiting to get in the bathroom, which was currently occupied by Malfoy. She had decided to try and forget he had ever kissed and put it down to temporary insanity on his part.
'Are you nearly done?' She yelled through the door with her hands on her hips.
'I'm still doing my hair'
'How long does it take you to do your hair? You're so vain!'
'Thank you!' He yelled back with a smirk as he combed his hair for the thousandth time.
'Hurry up!'
'I'm still wet, I'll come out when I'm dry'
Hermione stood there for 5 more minutes before having another yell.
'Come on Malfoy, I have to wash'
'I will take my time thank you very much' He shouted.
She got out her wand, muttered a spell under her breath and the door unlocked, she smiled and slowly pushed the door open.
'ARRRGGGHHH!' Hermione yelled stumbling over a towel and covering her eyes with her hands. 'Put some clothes on!'
'Well,' He said wrapping a towel around his waist. 'If you hadn't walked in, you wouldn't have seen me in all my glory would you?'
'You were taking too long' she said with her hands still over her eyes. 'I'm scarred for life'
'I'm decent' he said finishing his hair.
'You're never decent' she said slowly lowering her hands cautiously. Her face was still red from seeing something she had not wanted to see in all her days at Hogwarts.
As he strolled past her he couldn't help but wonder if she could get any redder. 'Liked what you saw Granger?' He whispered huskily into her ear.
'Go Malfoy, I need to get ready'
'That's strange' Malfoy muttered when he got into their bedroom. 'Normally girls are all over me when I use that voice'
He walked over to the crib and picked up Ella who was just waking up. 'And how is my favourite girl this morning?' She gave out a gurgle.
'Do you think that your mum is still annoyed at me? ... Yeah I do too, ah well. It's only Granger, normally I wouldn't care if she fell of a cliff.'
'Mama' Ella suddenly blurted out.
Malfoy gave her a proper smile and started walking towards the bathroom. 'Say mama again ... mama?' He said trying to get her to say it again.
He wiggled the knob to the bathroom, it was open. 'Granger?' He yelled inside.
No response, he peered around the door and walked in slowly.
'ARRGGHHH!' he yelled covering Ella's eyes with his hand as he saw Hermione get out of the bath naked.
'Malfoy!' She screamed reaching for a towel. 'You couldn't knock?'
'I yelled your name but you didn't answer'
'What do you want?' She snapped taking a shirt Malfoy had left in there and putting it on.
'Hey your going to get that shirt wet and give it mudblood germs' he said looking annoyed.
'Get over it, now what do you want?'
'Ella just said mama' He stated while looking anywhere but at Hermione.
'She did?' Hermione said softly, her glare leaving her face.
'Say mama Ella' Draco tried. 'Mama? Mama? ... Hmm guess she doesn't want to say it now'
There was a knock on the door out in the living area and Hermione looked at Malfoy expectantly.
'I'm not getting that, I'm only dressed in a towel and I'm holding Ella'
Hermione huffed as she walked out of the bathroom and across the living area to open the door.
'Ron, hey!' She said as she faced Ron who was holding the red-haired baby in his arms.
Ron didn't answer and just stared at her. Her hair was wet and sticking to her face and she was only wearing Malfoy's shirt, which only had a few of the buttons done up on it and wasn't long enough to hide her thighs.
'Why are you wearing Malfoy's shirt?' Said Ron through gritted teeth as his face went red with anger.
'Oh, this isn't what it looks like Ron' Hermione laughed as she looked down at herself.
'It's a funny story, well also kind of icky but well, you see-'
'She said it again Granger' Malfoy said as he suddenly appeared at the door with only a towel on, holding Ella.
'What the bloody hell is going on?' Ron said as he adjusted his grip on Alex.
'Oi Weasley! Watch your language around my daughter' he said in a low voice. Ron stood there looking quite shocked and Hermione looked quite amused as she rose an eyebrow at Malfoy.
Malfoy, Ella, Hermione, Ron and Alex all stood there in an awkward silence for awhile, nobody was quite sure what to say.
'Well, this is fun but I'm off to get dressed' Malfoy said as he turned around and headed to the bedroom.
'So Ron, Why are you here again?' She said shooting him a smile.
'Came to ask you to breakfast' He said with no emotion in his voice. 'But you seem to be busy with Malfoy'
Ron slowly turned around and headed down the corridor with a million and one thoughts spinning in his head.
She walked back to the bedroom and tapped on the door. 'Malfoy, I'm going to ask just in case, but are you naked right now?'
'Why? Do you want me to be naked?' She heard him say from inside. She could hear the smirk through his voice.
'Jerk' She muttered as she waiting outside the door. 'Are you naked?' She tried again.
'Nope' She heard him say and walked in.
'Are you still mad at me?' He said sitting down on the bed after putting Ella in her crib.
'Do you even care?'
'No' He lied but decided to leave it.
It was double potions and Ron was thinking of ways to run out of the lesson without causing a scene. He hadn't done the essay that Snape had set which meant embarrassment and general humiliation.
'Well you see sir, I was unavoidably detained last night from doing my homework' he tried to explain.
'10 points from Gryffindor for not doing homework and another 5 for trying to be clever'
Hermione handed him her roll of parchment and he unrolled it slowly.
'What is this Miss Granger?'
'It's my homework'
'I asked for 4 feet of parchment Miss Granger' He said slowly.
'Yes there's 4 feet there'
'There's actually 14 feet of parchment here, 5 points from Gryffindor for writing too much'
'But sir-' Hermione said getting up angrily.
'Do you want a detention Miss Granger?'
'No' She sat down as she heard the Slytherins behind her snigger.
'Mr Malfoy where's yours?' Snape said getting to Malfoys desk where his feet were propped up on the table and his chair leaning back slightly.
'I was too busy dealing with our child to do it sir, Miss Granger hasn't been pulling her weight' He smirked.
Hermione, who was sitting in front of him, swivelled round and glared. 'Not pulling my weight? How am I not pulling my weight?' She hissed.
'Well while you were writing your over sized essay, I had to take care of Ella' He said loudly so Snape could hear. 'It's so tough being a single father' He said letting out a sigh.
Hermione shot him a smirk with immediately unnerved him and he suddenly looked quite scared. Hermione gave a shove on the table behind her, which went into his chair, which resulted in him losing balance and falling.
He got up quickly and started shouting.
'Did you just see that? She pushed me over!'
Snape looked at the young couple, who were currently looking at each other with loathing and disgust, and rolled his eyes.
'Well I'm afraid what I'm about to say something your not going to like. I know a lot of you already know this but your Hogsmeade trip is on Wednesday, which means you will be missing classes' There was a lot of muttering and smiling at this comment. 'But you will be getting homework, the purpose of this trip is not to go and shop with all your friends, you will go with your child and partner'
The Slytherins looked towards Malfoy expectantly, they were waiting for him to complain about being stuck with their partners, but no such comment was made. Pansy looked desperately at him to say something but Malfoy wasn't paying attention as he was looking in front of him to see Hermione and Harry with their heads together whispering and laughing.
She looks really pretty like that, I wonder what she's saying to Potter, he thought and then mentally kicked himself.
He didn't care about her, he thought to himself again. He really didn't, she was below him in every possible way. It's Granger! He screamed to himself trying to knock some sense into him.
'Oi Potter, mudblood' He hissed as they all exited the classroom.
'Stop calling her that!' Ron said as he walked up to face him.
'Coming to her rescue yet again are we? What you trying to be?...Her knight in shining armour? Or I suppose in your case, you wouldn't be able to afford armour.'
'Shut up Malfoy'
'Come on, ignore him, with any luck we can avoid him for the rest of the day' Hermione said shooting a glare at Malfoy as she pulled Ron behind her.
'Wouldn't it be a shock if Snape was gay?' Ron said at lunchtime to Hermione and Harry. They both looked up from what they were eating and gave him a look.
'You just want something against him' Hermione said shovelling potato into her mouth.
'It would be a shock though' Ron said looking dreamily into the air. 'Imagine the blackmail'
'Is that all you think about? Blackmailing people?' Hermione said.
'No, that and Quidditch' Ron said grinning.
Hermione looked over to the Slytherin table where Malfoy and Ella sat, she was always nervous when Malfoy had Ella. She didn't know why, when he was with Ella he never once did anything to hurt her. Except the dropping incident which she had tried to forget.
Ron followed her gaze and rolled his eyes. 'He's such a prat, look at him using Ella to suck up to the girls'
'Hmmm' Hermione replied. 'I don't know what to do about Malfoy..ignoring him seems the clever choice but I still have over 2 weeks left with him.'
'Just keep thinking that it's only two weeks or try and call a truce with him' Harry said from the other side of Hermione rationally.
'What would I do without you Harry?' She said putting an arm around his waist and hugging him with a laugh.
Across the hall, the prince of Slytherin felt a pang of an emotion he'd never felt before. Jealousy. He tried to pay attention to what his friend's were saying but he couldn't quite move his eyes away from Hermione who still had her arm around Harry's waist and was laughing heartily.
He had no idea what the hell was going on with himself, after seeing Hermione play with Ella in front of the fire that night, the way he looked at her had changed. He didn't like it but it happened.
'Dude? Malfoy?' he heard a voice say from next to him.
'Yeah?'
'You kinda dazed off' Said Blaise shaking his head at his friend.
'Sorry, thinking about ways to kill Potter'
'Nice'
'Thanks'
It was 1.30 when Hermione was awoken by what she thought was a noise outside their bedroom. She looked around bewildered in the darkness and picked up her wand from the bedside table and stood up.
She heard another bang, which made her jump and walk over to Malfoy's bed.
'Malfoy?' She whispered. He didn't move. She sat down on his bed and tried again. 'Malfoy?' She hissed as she heard another noise, which sounded like someone bumping into the table.
She quickly moved into Malfoy's bed and tried again. 'Malfoy!'
'What?' he grunted as he woke up. 'What you doing in my bed Granger?' He slurred looking confused.
'There's someone outside'
Malfoy groaned and grabbed his wand. 'Fine ... I'll go look'
'Women' He muttered as he walked out of the bedroom without even looking if something was out there.
Hermione waited with her knees up against her chest with Malfoy's covers around her. She heard a few mutters before Malfoy appeared in the bedroom again.
'It was Longbottom' He sighed climbing back into his bed. 'He got lost and thought this was his living area'
'Oh' Hermione said feeling utterly stupid. She was still feeling a bit shaken up.
'What were you expecting? A dementor snooping around?' he smirked.
He looked at her and waited. 'You going to get out of my bed Granger?' he said with a smile.
'Oh yeah sorry, just thinking about something' She said as she moved to get out of his bed.
He sighed, 'You don't have to go if you don't want to' he said raising his eyebrows suggestively.
'In your dreams Malfoy' She laughed but still not moving out of his bed.
He smiled to himself. 'Night then' He said lying down and shutting his eyes. He heard her shuffle around but not leave his bed. He laughed silently in the darkness and fell asleep.
Malfoy later got woken up by a screaming female right next to him, which answered his question about whether Hermione had stayed in his bed.
'Harry!' Hermione yelled out of the darkness.
Malfoy looked over at her, she was shaking and writhing about while continuing to yell out in her sleep. 'Harry, run!'
'Granger' he said shaking her a little. 'Granger!' He said as she hit him in her sleep. Her eyes opened wide and she flew into Malfoy's arms without looking.
'Harry' She said quietly. Malfoy's face burned with anger. She thought he was Harry, she wanted him to be Harry. Why was Potter so special? He thought still clutching her.
'I'm not Potter' He said as she pulled away.
'Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hug you' She said while blushing furiously. She stumbled out of his bed and walked to her own, crawled in and put her head on her pillow. 'I'm such an idiot' She mumbled to herself.
