"Good morning Hermione. Good morning Nicole," Ginny said as Hermione tiredly sat down to breakfast at the table in the Great Hall.
"Morning Gin," Hermione responded stifling a yawn, "how was your night?"
"It was fine. Did you get any sleep Hermione?" asked Ginny looking worried.
"I got a little, but not much. Nicole kept me up half the night. She kept poor Draco awake too," Hermione told Ginny as she fed Nicole a bottle of milk. She silently gave Nicole a small smile knowing that her little girl had gotten a full night of sleep.
Nothing really happened the night before, but Hermione and Draco had stayed up pretty late talking about their relationship. They had decided that they would go public with their relationship shortly. They just had to wait until they believed that the public could take their news.
Enemies becoming friends was pretty big, especially at a place like Hogwarts. And they had to be prepared for the Hogwarts rumor mill. There would definitely be some interesting versions of the truth. Not that many people believed half what they heard, who am I kidding, of course they did! People are just gullible enough to believe unrealistic things like that.
But then again, Hermione and Draco becoming friends would seem pretty unrealistic too. They had after all hated one another since their first year. Them dating would be even less believeable. But the truth wasn't always what you expected. So Hogwarts would just have to deal with their Heads' relationship. And soon enough there would be speculation about who the father was. She did after all have hair that could belong to a few different boys in their seventh year. Nicole's hair was a beautiful sandy blonde color that shone in the sunlight. She had adorable, hazel eyes, the same, but with a watery look, as Hrmione's.
But it didn't matter what everyone said, because Hermione and everyone who mattered to her knew about her and Josh. While not many people knew about her home life, it didn't matter. They didn't need to know to understand what had happened with her and Josh. They understood, while ya Hermione might lead people to think that Nicole wasn't a mistake, she was. But Nicole was the greatest mistake she had ever made. While at times it was hard being a single mother, for her it was worth all of the pain and mockery in the world just to have her little girl.
Hermione would never regret having Nicole, and she would try her hardest to give her everything she ever wanted. And Draco Malfoy was determined to help.
