There's a whole section where it's just Ryan thinking. Gives you a little insight on how he views things.

"Are you ready," Draco poked his head into Ryan's room after knocking.
"I think so, I just can't stop shaking." He admitted. " I feel like I'm going on trial."
"You are," Draco told him. "Hermione's father is a nut job. Don't get him all riled up, Ron made that mistake once, it wasn't pretty." Draco fixed his collar.
"That makes me feel better," Ryan paled. "I'm going to screw up. I always do."
Draco shook his head.
"This is like a welcome to the family kind of party, everyone will be there. Even people you've never heard us speak of. Like the Weasly Family, they are all right. The twins are a bit funny. Even if they did beat me up 5th year."
"You got beat up?" Ryan looked at him skeptically.
"Just that once, Hermione got a good slug in 3rd year. Don't tell anyone." Draco touched his face at the memory.
"You probably deserved it," he told him.
Draco glared. "Get down stairs." He said pushing the back of his head making him head toward the door.
"I'm telling!" Ryan joked.
"Stop yelling in my house!" Hermione yelled up the stairs.
"This is my castle woman I'll yell as loud as I damn well please!" Draco shouted over the wooden railing.
"Care to say that again?" She raised her eyebrow at Draco.
His eyes traveled down to her hands and there he found her wand in perfect Hexing position.
"No thank you love, I must have had a bout of amnesia there for a second" He scouted past her and out the door. "Everyone knows this is your castle."
"He is so whipped!" Ryan whispered to himself.
Draco gave him the finger and got in the car.
Hermione got in before Ryan did.
"Your not suppose to give your children the finger," Ryan said putting on his seat belt. " I thought they taught people that in parenting 101."
"Boy there is no class that can teach you how to be a proper parent." Hermione laughed. "That parenting class they give you at school is a load of,"
"Hermione," Draco stopped her. "Let the child believe what he likes."
"So is your father going to be there too daft?" Ryan asked suddenly.
"What would make you ask such a question?" Draco turned to look at him.
"Well he's apart of your family also, whether you'd like to believe it or not." Ryan looked away guiltily.
"If we're lucky no one got the bright idea to owl him," Hermione shook her head at Draco's reply.
"Don't you think it's about time you at least found out how he is doing? Would it hurt?"
Draco glared at her.
"Yeah maybe he's changed." Ryan added trying to help Hermione's cause.
"Insidious witch contaminating our family name, making our bloodline impure," He hissed.
"I haven't forgotten about that," Hermione told him.
"Traitorous begotten imbecile I have bred, how dare you destroy the hard work of our ancestors to keep those filthy mudbloods from ours ranks."
Ryan sat in the back seat a listened to him, wishing he could disappear.
"To hell with him." Draco said ending any conversation they even thought they wanted to have after that.
"Wait," Draco told Ryan as they stepped from the car. Hermione went inside the house to greet her mother. "I must apologize."
"It's okay…" Ryan found his shoes interesting.
"It's not," Draco said leaning against the car. "I've never been all that great at controlling what I say. But I'm getting better at controlling my temper."
He watched Ryan nod.
"I can't stress how sorry I am for what you heard."
"Dad, I said it was alright. I understand." Draco and Ryan look toward the door as Hermione called out to them.
Ryan ran to her, escaping Draco's questioning gaze.
'I must have heard wrong,' Draco said shaking his head.
Draco and Hermione walked inside in front of Ryan shielding him from the curious gazes of those who hadn't had the pleasure of meeting him yet.
"You must be Ryan," Miles came up from behind them and picked up the much small boy. "Tall, a little scrawny, purple eyes…"
"Put him down!" Jennifer came running out of the kitchen. "That's just what we need, you scary the poor child."
Hermione wrapped one of her arms around the front of Ryan's chest from behind. " This is my father Miles, and my mother Jennifer."
"Pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Granger," Ryan said politely.
"Drop the non-sense I'm to young to be addressed like that." Jennifer told him smiling. "Now, can you cook?"
Ryan did something like a nod and a shake of the head.
"Let's not take any chances," Draco told her slipping past and into the kitchen after her.
Ryan caught Miles eyes. He had a feeling this man was going to always be watching him.
Ryan's P.O.V
"Come on," Deft told me pulling me away from the prying eyes of her father.
"Hey buddy," Ron said, walking into the living room after us. "Glad you didn't chicken out."
"He's not like you Ron," Ginny teased him. I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"What are you trying to say?" Ron mumbled.
"Looking as big as ever Ginny," I said putting my hand on her growing stomach.
I thought I felt something unnatural moving around in there so I removed my hand.
'Well she is pregnant, stupid. What'd you expect.' I yelled at myself.
"It's alright, harry thinks it feels weird also." She told me. I could feel myself blushed.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when the doorbell rang.
"It's Draco's Mother and Her keeper," Harry told me.
"Severus is not Narcissia's keeper." I heard miles on the stair way to my left.
'This guy is something else,' I thought. 'Popping up out of nowhere like that,'
"He does that all the time," Ginny told me.
"They arrive on time, at the same time, every time," I watched as Ron shifted uneasily.
'She must be like Mr. Granger, only worse.'
"Such a ridiculous thought, young man." My jaw nearly dropped. One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen stood in front of me. Her long hair wrapped into a simple bun, that if I really looked at didn't seem all that simple. The black dress she wore underneath her cloak was simple but looked as if it was more suitable for a funeral, not a dinner party. Her eyes like Draco's were beautiful. It looked like blue was fighting with silver. I really could tell that Draco got most of his looks from his mother.
"Excuse me?" I asked, not missing a beat as I silently admired her beauty.
"I'm nothing like that thing Hermione calls father," she told me just above the whisper that was her voice.
'I think I'm in …' I stopped myself mid thought.
"It's not nice to intrude on other peoples thoughts." I said gruffly.
"You're not old enough to be considered a person yet." Narcissia countered.
"We'll then neither are you," I was determined to get in the last word.
"How cute it knows jokes and everything," I stood there as she belittled me and walked away.
"That's my mother by the way," I turned to look at Daft and blushed.
"You two look a like." I laughed feeling a bit awkward.
"I felt the same way about her when I was about four," He pushed me into the kitchen.
--
"I was actually getting tired of being shown off to people as they came in and I think, who instead of calling her Narcissia I call, "Maleficent" was starting to annoy me and unfortunately for me, she knew it. She was the perfect little reticent smart-ass, and I just couldn't top her comebacks. I am now determined to win the battle.
Fred and George are seriously crazy; I think those two are the most amazing pair of twins I've ever met.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasly are a little awkward, nothing at all like their children.
Maleficent's keeper, who I found out is named Serverus, is quiet good at handling her sarcasm by countering it with his own. I think I could learn from this man.
Now the guy I'm looking at is pretty weird. He robes are way to big for him and he kind of looks sick. I asked Deft about it and he told me he always looks like that, something about some type of illness. I think they called him Remus.
Then another beauty ungracefully stumbled in from somewhere I think she fell in through a window somewhere. No matter she just tripped over her own feet again. Strangely, enough, she keeps moving doesn't she know that if she stays still she might live a bit longer. She is extremely intelligent I found as I listened to her speak about the theory of evolution with Hermione's father, who was still keeping me on my toes. However, I don't actually think he knows he's doing it.
I was even making sure I did slouch. Who does that?
Sixteen people sat conformably at the dinner table."
--Normal P.O.V
"So," Miles began.
"There will be none of that," Jennifer said.
"This tonight we're going to be like "the band,"
"The band?" Ryan asked.
"Yes, It's where on the radio and on Television during interviews we are the best of friends the perfect family. But once we are behind the scenes we argue and disagree about almost everything."
"Ah," Ryan nodded in understanding.
"I wasn't even going to start a conversation that could turn into controversy." Miles said. " I just want to know how the transition has been."
Draco and Hermione looked at each other over Ryan's head since he was sitting between them.
"Pretty easy so far, I have had two problems since I've been here. But I think they'll stop attacking me after a while." Ryan said honestly.
"You've been attacking him?" Tonks asked Draco since he was sitting closer.
"Hermione giggled. "He's talking about Tor and Tep, they haven't been playing nice."
"Have you tried playing with them?" Remus asked.
Ryan shook his head. "I'd like to keep all of my fingers, thank you"
"Vicious they've been," Draco told them. "But it's not like I can really do anything about them."
"You could send them to Harry's house, that'll be punishment enough." Ginny said once everyone stopped talking.
"Yeah but other than that, it's been okay. I'm still getting used to being fed a three-course meal for breakfast everyday."
"Then you must be stealing Hermione's food," Hermione looked toward Narcissia.
"I was hoping my weight wouldn't be a family discussion tonight. But I'm happy to say I gained six pounds thank you!"
"You took them from me then," Draco accused. "I've been extremely sick lately."
"How come I didn't know about it then?" Hermione said.
"I'm normally not with you, everyday in the morning when you leave. I feel dizzy in the afternoon."
Narcissia and Severus looked at each other thoughtfully.
"Uh oh" was the only words to describe the looks she had on her face.
--
"You two could have warned me getting a kid on your car insurance cost so much!" Hermione told them unexpectedly.
"Well we wouldn't know," Miles to her. " You were never home to drive."
"Good point," She said.
"Not to mention the fact that you didn't even bother to ask." Jennifer snapped.
"The band," She reminded her mother drawing laughter from her.
"That would be great if this band wasn't so off beat," Severus said.
I'm sorry to say that I actually don't know when I'm going to be able to update again. I update on the schools computers because my computer at home doesn't work, but summer is here and I have to leave. If I'm lucky I can update while I'm in summer school, probably not. The library is closed. I'll try and fix it so I can update but until then I'm putting this story on hold. Sorry.
