In the morning, Jade woke up early and made breakfast. She started packing the things she needed for her stay at the Burrow and woke up Zaara after she was finished with hers.

"Love wake up, we're going somewhere today." Jade said and Zaara groaned.

"I want to sleep." she said yawning.

"Zaara, you'll sleep later. Get up; we're going to see Grandma and Grandpa!" Jade said and Zaara zoomed up.

"FOOD!" she screeched running to the bathroom. Jade sat there trying to figure out what just happened and wondered how Ron's gene came through Zaara. She got an owl from Draco saying that if she was ready, that to owl him so he could be there to help her take her things to the Burrow. Jade wrote a note to him to come in ten minutes because she was trying to persuade a confused Zaara who wanted all her things to go with her.

"Zaara listen, we're only going to be there for a few days so Mr. Phillips can stay here and you can take Mr.….bloody oh! Mr. Evil with you." Jade said and Zaara shook her head pouting and grabbing on to her toy seal. "Zaara…" Jade said getting frustrated. The doorbell rang and Jade got up telling Zaara to make up her mind by the time she comes back.

"Hey!" Jade said seeing Draco stand there smiling at her. He was wearing a casual short sleeved white shirt and black pants.

"I see you're ready." he said.

"I am, but Zaara isn't." Jade said guiding him to Zaara's room. "She's in a crisis." Jade said and Draco looked around seeing Zaara sit around all of her toys crying and talking to them.

"Zaara? What's wrong?" Draco asked walking to her.

"Hi Draco…I need to talk to my friends and tell them that my Mummy won't want to have all of them here." Zaara said looking red and Jade shook her head leaning against the doorway.

"So…have you reached a decision?" Jade asked and Draco sat next to Zaara looking at all of her stuffed animals.

"I want all of you to know that I love you a lot. But I have to take only one of you…and I am really, really, really, really, REALLY sorry but it's all Mummy's fault." Zaara said rubbing her eyes.

"Oh dear God…" Jade said slapping herself on the forehead.

"Why do you listen to your Mummy Zaara? If your Mummy doesn't want you to bring your toys with you to the Burrow, then you ask me okay? I say take all of your toys." he said and Zaara brightened up and Jade started to protest.

"Draco but-"

"Ssh…and because of that, Zaara and I are both going toy shopping tomorrow okay?" Draco asked Zaara who started jumping up in excitement and hugged him tightly.

"Draco, you're the best! I love you." she said kissing him. Draco chuckled and nodded and turned to Jade.

"Great, my daughter hates me." Jade muttered and Draco set Zaara down so she could pack her toys.

"She doesn't. You're just being a mother." he said and Jade smiled.

"I remember when my Mum used to do that to me. She ALWAYS used to put back away things I really didn't need when we went out." Jade said and Draco nodded.

"I remember when my mother actually made me sleep by myself in a room alone." Draco said and Jade giggled watching Zaara having trouble packing her toys.

"Oh Mr. Phillips, you are SO fat! Stop eating Mrs. Betty's food." she said to herself and Draco and Jade chuckled together.

"Did you pack your things also?" Jade asked and Draco nodded.

"I packed my blanket and my stuffed animal…please let me take them with me Mummy!" he said and Jade laughed slapping him lightly on the arm.

"Okay, let me help." Jade said and Zaara gave her a look that made Jade feel horrible and guilty.

"You don't want my friends with me. You always do that." she said and Jade looked at her daughter and Zaara ran out of the room.

"Let's add another one to Let's Hate Jade Club." Jade said sitting on Zaara's bed.

"Give her some time…she'll forget once she starts playing with everyone else and those damn toys. Isn't it Mr. Phillips?" Draco asked lifting up the seal.

"She's very stubborn. I really don't know where she got it from." Jade said and Draco coughed saying her name.

"Oh be quiet you!" Jade said hitting him with a toy and laughing when he hit her back lightly with Mr. Phillips.

After they minimized their luggage, they apparated off to the Burrow where Zaara was very happy to see her grandparents. They were met with a light lunch and talked throughout the afternoon. Jade was helping Molly prepare dinner and the mother and daughter chatted and giggled seeing Draco and Arthur talk while playing with Zaara.

"He's so sweet. I could never imagine a Malfoy being such a gentleman and sometimes I wonder why he would give up his own comforts of his mansion to stay here and protect the two of you." Molly said watching her daughter look at Draco lift Zaara and swing her around.

"Beats me. But he's always been nice to me, ever since his mother and father died." Jade said.

"Death of parents makes a person grow up." Molly said.

"I've seen it. He's a better person and Zaara just loves him so much." Jade said seeing them walk back inside the house.

"I do also!" Molly said. Zaara screamed running in and jumped into her mother's arms.

"MUMMY! DRACO'S A MONSTER!" Zaara said and screamed when Draco went to get her.

"Ahh! Then we both should run away from the ferret!" Jade joked and Draco crossed his arms.

"Jade!" Molly warned and Jade giggled.

"Come ferret monster and we will kick your…er rear!" Jade said jumping up when he went to go after her.

"Run Mummy! RUN!" Zaara screamed so excited and clasped around her Mum tightly. Jade ran out the door and ran laughing seeing Draco after them.

"And you made that mistake of calling me a ferret! Again!" he said grabbing Jade by the waist. Jade let Zaara go and Zaara ran away from them as Draco held on to Jade tightly. Jade turned herself and they both were laughing lightly until they realized how close they were. Zaara screamed for their attention and they both shook from their position and turned around to Zaara running towards them. Jade had her arms rested on Draco's arms and she let go starting to get embarrassed.

"I think I'm going to eat a certain Zaara today." Draco said advancing towards Zaara. Zaara screamed and ran away as Draco ran after her. Jade giggled and sat near the willow tree feeling a tingling feeling whenever Draco was there. She wanted to know if she felt jumpy and nervous around him, what would he feel when he was with her? Draco came back with Zaara on his back.

"Go horsey!" she said. Jade turned around seeing Zaara so happy and Draco come back so tired and exhausted.

"I am tired." Draco said setting Zaara down and sitting next to Jade.

"Take a break! You don't have to play with her so much you know." Jade said seeing him look at the orange and pink sunset.

"It's fun. Ron told me how he used to play around with Dean and how he loves it. I never liked children but Zaara's different. I would happily give up a day off to play with her." he said and Jade smiled.

"Thanks." Jade said and he looked at her.

"For what?" he asked.

"For being her playing partner." Jade said cutely.

"Does that mean you want a playing partner too?" Draco asked slyly and Jade rolled her eyes.

"Oh I would be so happy if I had a 'playing partner' like you." Jade said sarcastically seeing him stretch.

"Too bad. I'm taken." he said.

"By who?" Jade asked, feeling her insides jump.

"Zaara. I am taken by Zaara so too bad, Zaara's mummy." he said and Jade pushed him. She got up relieved and then thinking why she was so relieved. She felt disappointed when he told her he was taken but now she felt so much better.

"DRACO! ZAARA! DINNER'S READY!" Jade yelled from the window. She found it completely comforting to see Draco lie down with Zaara on him as they pointed to the sky watching the stars.

"I think you should get him before it's too late." Molly said looking at the same thing Jade was looking at.

"What?" Jade asked her Mum and Molly looked at her.

"Oh! I meant the food. You should get Draco before the food gets cold. Molly said.

"Yeah sure." Jade said still suspicious. She went to get them but the doorbell rang and Jade saw Ginny and Jay coming in.

"GIN!" Jade screamed hugging her sister.

"JADE!" Ginny screamed. "I heard you were here so I said I just HAVE to come over and stay for a week." Ginny said and Jade squealed.

"Hello Jay!" Jade said waving to Jay. He came over and lifted her up so happy to see her.

"My, my does someone look glowing today? May I ask why?" he asked and Jade blushed.

"I'll tell you. Dear, go get Draco and Zaara from outside." Molly said and Jade nodded.

"Let's go." Ginny said grabbing her sister's hand. The two sisters chatted as they walked and Ginny awed seeing Draco and Zaara.

"I have to tell you the things you missed so wait until after dinner." Jade said and Ginny nodded. "Ok you two…dinner's ready. Draco, remember Ginny, and Ginny…Draco." Jade said, picking Zaara up.

"Hey Malfoy! It's been so long hasn't it? From Potions professor, to my brother's partner in crime." Ginny said and Draco grinned.

"I've made quite the transition. How about you?" he asked as they walked and talked.

"Is my Mummy hungry?" Jade asked Zaara who nodded.

"Mummy I'm starving! Do you know what Draco taught me today?" she asked. It seemed as if Zaara couldn't stop talking about Draco. All she did was talk on and on and she never seemed to get tired of him. During dinner, the whole family was talking to each other. The men talked to each other and Draco kept surprising Arthur by telling him he had a car and a newly bought television. Molly told Ginny about how much she found Draco charming and courteous and kept telling Ginny about a possible romance with Jade.

"Mother!" Jade said and the men stopped and looked towards them. "Er…nothing." Jade said and the men went back to their conversation. "It's NOT a romance. We're just friends." Jade said quietly and Ginny laughed silently.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me about the fanciness you both have towards each other." Ginny pouted and laughed when Molly laughed with her.

"Oh come on! We don't fancy each other. I can't believe you didn't tell me you were 3 months pregnant." Jade said and Ginny defended herself.

"I found out last week!" she said and Jade stuck her tongue out at her.

After dinner, the women cleaned everything and started preparing for bed.

"I'm so tired." Jade said stretching after saying good night to everyone.

"Me too." Ginny yawned. "I'll see you tomorrow morning. It seems as if I can never talk to you." Ginny said hugging her sister.

"Same here. Have a goodnight." Jade said.

"Don't go off in the middle of the night to snog Malfoy." Ginny said and Jade hit her with a pillow.

"Sleepy?" Jade asked running her hand through her daughter's hair. Zaara nodded sleepily and her eyes closed loving her mother stroke her hair. Jade couldn't sleep so she decided to go downstairs after taking a shower. She shook her hair and ran her hands through it. She walked down the stairs and to the kitchen where she heard two voices talking softly. Molly was up teaching Draco how to make hot chocolate and Jade settled herself in a chair.

"Caught you both out of bed." Jade said seeing Molly jump.

"Ron and you always did that. They used to catch me out of bed during midnight just to make snacks." Molly said and Jade smiled.

"So what are you making tonight Mummy?" Jade trying to see what they were making.

"Hot chocolate. It's delicious." Draco said sipping some from a spoon Molly gave him.

"Ah…I want some." Jade said.

"Here you go dear, I'll go upstairs now. Jade, make sure you show Draco how to make those smores we always made." Molly said kissing Jade's cheek.

"Bye Mum." Jade said seeing her Mum leave.

"Smores?" Draco asked and Jade nodded.

"It's great. Dad told Mum about it when Ron and I wouldn't eat anything so when we tried it, it was all we ate when we were kids." Jade said, getting up.

"Your mother's hands are so precious. They make anything taste good." Draco said and Jade grinned.

"I know…thanks." Jade said taking out crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. "Ok, it's going to be hot but that's what makes it so special." Jade said toasting a marshmallow with a skewer.

"A burnt tongue? That's pretty special." Draco said and Jade giggled, handing him a smore. Draco bit into the smore. Marshmallow oozed out with the melted chocolate and Jade told him to bite. He made some sounds and Jade didn't understand. She laughed seeing him hold her hands.

"You have marshmallow goo all over you!" Jade laughed seeing the white goo all over his mouth.

"It's good but it's so damn hot." He said licking his lips.

"Here. Finish it." Jade said feeding him the rest of the smore. "Don't toast it too much." Jade warned as his got on fire. She made a smore quickly out of hers and helped Draco who was shaking his skewer to get rid of the fire. "Stop before you burn someone's eye off." Jade said blowing on his marshmallow.

"Here." Jade said handing him the marshmallow. He gave up not being able to prepare a decent smore so he grabbed Jade's hand and ate her smore.

"Hey!" Jade said seeing him munch on the snack. "That was my smore." Jade complained and he pouted.

"I didn't feel bad." he said. Jade shook her head laughing and pointing to his smore he tried making earlier. He scowled and watched her fix his previous smore and he eyed her.

"Mmm, this is so good." Jade said biting into it. The smore was right in front of him and he grabbed her hand and gently bit her fingers as he took the smore in his mouth.

"Mmm, Ron was right. We are going to get fattened up." he said taking some chocolate and smearing it on Jade's cheek.

"I can't believe you just did that!" Jade gasped.

"Afraid to get a little dirty, weasel?" Draco asked.

Jade grabbed a few marshmallows and tried to smear it over Draco but he was too quick for her.

"Hey that's not fair! You get to get me dirty-"

"Interesting choice of words Weasley." Draco grinned. Jade blushed.

"You know that's not what I meant." Jade said, following him around the table.

"Of course I know what you mean and everything is fair by the way. You're just that sour fat kid in the playground who doesn't want to play because all the other kids tag him and outrun him every time." Draco said.

"Well that's wrong!" Jade said, throwing a brick of chocolate at him. He quickly ducked, seeing the chocolate fly past him and hit the wall.

"That's life and you're just a sore loser." He said.

"Excuse me? You're trying to explain life to me based on chocolate and marshmallows?" Jade asked.

"Looks like it!" he said.

"WHOA!" Jade said slipping on the debris on the floor. She fell on her knees and Draco quickly ran towards her, crouching down to help her up.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"Yes sir." Jade said, dumping a bottle of caramel over his head. "Are you?" Jade asked. Draco yelped and jumped up, looking at the caramel dripping from his head and shoulders.

"Can I give you a tip? Don't try to explain life to a person who's badly wanted it in all their existence. And that's for all the fat kids you took for a loop." Jade said, tossing a few crackers at him and turning to leave.

"Oh my goodness!" Ginny exclaimed looking around. "Oh hey Gin…" Jade said feeling herself get red.

"I…this…what did you both do? Go on a rampage?" Ginny asked seeing the whole kitchen destroyed.

"Well…people get hungry at night. That's why it's called a midnight snack." Draco said, grabbing a few towels and wiped himself up. "I know that! It's just you made a simple midnight snack look like the bloody chocolate massacre." Ginny said and Jade laughed.

"Well…it can be fixed." Jade said cleaning everything with a flick of her wand.

"What am I going to eat?" Ginny asked and Jade and Draco shrugged looking at each other.

"Jay." Draco suggested. Jade slapped him and laughed seeing Ginny stare at him with her jaw dropped.
