In the morning, Jade walked down the stairs and saw her mother starting on breakfast.
"Morning Mum." Jade said kissing her Mum's cheek.
"Morning dear, how was your sleep?" Molly asked.
"Good. How was yours?" Jade asked and Molly gave her a look.
"Your father snores so loud, I would rather sleep next to a howler monkey." she said and Jade started laughing. Arthur came downstairs and so did Jay along with Draco and a woken but quiet Zaara.
"Hey honey." Jade said and Zaara smiled blinking to her Mum.
"She woke up and went to my room to sleep." Draco said and Jade awed. "She was wondering where her Mummy went." Draco said seeing Zaara rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her little arms around him.
"Love, do you want to sleep more?" Jade asked and Zaara shook her head. Jade rubbed her back and Arthur looked at Molly wondering if he felt what she did right now seeing all three Jade, Draco and Zaara together. Molly gave him a smile and nodded and Arthur smiled too.
"Here come to Mummy." Jade said and Zaara shifted herself to Jade. After breakfast, Jade took Zaara to her room and lied down on the bed stroking her hair.
"Mummy?" Zaara asked and Jade looked at Zaara and hummed. "Draco promised he would buy me some toys today." Zaara said and Jade sighed.
"Honey, that's not good. You can't force him to buy you things. Mummy's here isn't she? I'll buy you toys but you can't ask people to buy you toys. Okay?" Jade asked and Zaara nodded. Jade smiled and kissed Zaara as there was a knock on the door.
"It's open." Jade said and Ginny came in.
"Jade, I'm going to the market with Mum and Jay, do you want anything?" she asked and Jade shook her head.
"No thanks love." Jade said and Ginny nodded.
"Bye love." Ginny said kissing Zaara and leaving.
"Can we do something today?" Zaara asked and Jade sat up.
"What do you want to do?" Jade asked and Zaara held her Mummy.
"I want to swim in the lake!" she said and Jade smiled thinking that wasn't a bad idea. There was a knock and Jade opened the door.
"Will Zaara be fine today?" Draco asked walking in.
"Yeah why?" Jade asked and Draco smiled seeing Zaara hug and kiss him.
"I promised that I would buy her toys. I don't break promises." he said and Zaara started celebrating. Before Jade could say anything Draco interrupted. "And before you say something, which would be no, I'm going to say I'm not buying you anything because it's all for Zaara. So go on and get ready. If you want to come…I guess I can tolerate a Weasel." he joked shielding himself from a slap.
"Please don't throw caramel all over me again! Anything but caramel. Stuff is hard to get out of your hair." Draco said, gingerly touching his hair.
Jade and Zaara waited for Draco in the living room. Zaara hummed a familiar song as she played with one of her toys.
"You still remember that song?" Jade asked seeing Zaara nod.
"You used to sing it all the time. Can you sing it now?" Zaara asked.
"There's something in your eyes makes me wanna lose myself. Makes me wanna lose myself in your arms." Jade sang softly and Zaara looked up smiling. "There's something in your voice, that makes my heart beat fast. Hope this feeling lasts, for the rest of my life." they both sang.
Draco heard Jade singing to Zaara as softly as she could and he quietly walked towards the living room, seeing Jade and Zaara on the sofa, not having seen him yet. He crossed his arms, listening to Jade sing.
"If you knew…how lonely my life has been…and how long that I've been so alone. And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along and change my life the way you've done…" Jade sang, looking down at Zaara who tried singing along with her.
Draco found her singing, calming. Her voice was so soothing and gentle, he felt like he could listen to her forever. He saw Jade turn her head to see him, looking clearly surprised and embarrassed to know that he was listening.
"Sorry for making you both wait. Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yes, let's go." Jade said, getting up.
Draco took them to Hogsmeade and the three of them started walking to the nearest toy shop.
"Do you sing often?" Draco asked
"I used to sing to Zaara when she was a baby to calm her down. She was such an anxious baby and would cry all night so when I started singing to her, it was the only time she would stay quiet. But since Zaara's big now, I do it a lot less." Jade said.
"Have you ever thought of taking a career up as a singer if Healing doesn't work out for you?" Draco asked, seeing her smile.
"Haven't thought about it but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you." Jade said seeing him look over her face.
"It's a good thing you sing as beautiful as you look." He said.
Jade didn't know what else to say or do but smile. She felt highly awkward, not knowing what to say so she pointed to a random display of brooms next to her and tried to think of whatever came to her mind.
"Wow, doesn't that look fast?!" she asked.
"All right, don't stress yourself. This way." Draco said gently taking her by the shoulder. Jade walked with him and Zaara and they went inside an enormous toy shop.
Harry was walking through the crowds in Hogsmeade and he saw a blonde head carrying his daughter with his wife at his side. Jade was smiling at something he was saying and she shook her head pointing at displays. They went inside a toy store and Harry followed them.
Zaara gasped and Jade knew it was heaven for her.
"Tell me the things you like and I'll buy it for you okay?" Draco asked and Zaara nodded. Draco set her down but firmly held her hand so she wouldn't run off because it was tempting for the kids.
"I don't know what to choose from! They're all so…" Zaara said looking around.
"Then I'll buy the whole store." Draco winked towards Jade who looked at him incredibly.
"What? Draco!" Jade said and he smiled.
"Draco! Over there!" Zaara said tugging him to a toy. Jade smiled watching the two. Draco bent toward Zaara's level and started talking to her taking stuffed animals out.
"Don't buy her any plastic dolls because she strips them down and hangs them upside down in a creepy shrine in her closet." Jade said and Draco laughed.
"Mr. Phillips is going to have a lady friend!" Draco said and Jade burst into laughter. She saw a pink plush teddy bear and she smiled thinking it was cute. She had collected toys when she was little and most of all loved stuffed animals. She had the toy in her hand and she thought but suddenly she felt a pair of eyes burning into her. She turned around and saw no one and looked around her but didn't see anyone there. She saw Draco and Zaara together talking and picking more toys out and she wondered what was making her so uncomfortable.
"Anyone there?" Jade asked looking around but not finding anyone there.
"See anything you liked?" Draco asked in her ear. Jade was startled and turned to him breathing.
"That whole 'pop up and scare Jade' thing is really starting to annoy me." Jade said and he smirked.
"So do you like anything?" he asked and saw the toy in her hand.
"I thought it was obvious." Jade responded.
"What?" Draco asked and Jade blushed leaving the toy there. Draco smiled to himself and looked up quickly as if he sensed something. He walked off as Jade and Zaara both picked out a toy.
"I have an idea. I have some money so let's pick out a toy for Draco and gift it to him because he's buying so much for you." Jade said and Zaara nodded agreeing.
Harry saw Jade and Zaara look around and giggle. He walked forward to get them but felt something on his neck.
"Potter, don't you dare go near them." Draco said coldly.
"They're both mine! Who are you to stop me from-"
"I will kill you if you lay a hand on either one of them." Draco warned piercing the wand into his neck. "You can show Jade how tough and powerful you are but I'm a danger to you. I will kill you have my word on that." Draco said and Harry stumbled back. "Leave or else you'll see the worst of me Potter." Draco said following him out. He sent him out and gave him one last look.
"Draco, where are you?" Jade asked looking around.
"Right here." he said showing up.
"Where were you? We were thinking you left us." Jade said seeing tension on his face.
"Leave you both? What am I a Nancy boy?" he asked and Jade laughed.
"We're done…please no more." Jade said.
"Are you sure?" Draco asked to Zaara. Zaara nodded very satisfied and Draco smiled and picked her up.
"Remember Zaara! Ssh!" Jade said and Zaara nodded very excited.
"What?" Draco asked looking at the two of them.
"Ohhh noooothing." Zaara sang.
"Better tell me." Draco sang back and Zaara giggled.
"Draco…you're so silly." she said and he grinned putting the cart of toys at the cashier.
"Er…all that?" the cashier asked and Draco turned to him.
"What do you see there and why am I here?" Draco asked and the cashier nodded shaking.
"Ooo candy." Zaara said.
"Oh pack these also." Draco said letting Zaara choose a few sweets.
"Do you have white chocolate?" Draco asked looking around to see if Jade was there.
"Yes sir…right there." he said and Draco took a pound of white chocolate out.
"This too." Draco said. Draco paid for the things and Jade came by.
"Done?" Jade asked looking at the amount of toys he bought.
"Yup!" Draco and Zaara both said.
"Good…then let's go." Jade said and he nodded.
"Ladies first." he said minimizing the bags and placing it in his pocket.
"Yeah…go on, I'm coming right out." Jade said and Draco gave her a look. "Don't ask questions Draco, just go." Jade said pushing him off.
"Fine…Zaara and I will both be at Flourish and Blotts." he said and Jade nodded. He left with Zaara and Jade waited until he left completely.
"Can you please pack this also?" Jade asked and the cashier nodded. Jade walked out of the store and saw Draco and Zaara in Flourish and Blotts.
"What did you buy?" Draco asked seeing the bag she was carrying.
"Hmph!" Jade said minimizing the bag and placing it inside her pocket.
"Fine!" he joked taking out a few books. After Flourish and Blotts and a couple of children books for Zaara, they all left to other stores. They entered a jewelry shop and Draco looked around claiming he was buying a present for a friend.
"Sure." Jade said looking around.
"Oh, before I forget, and it melts, here." Draco said giving her a shiny purple box.
"What is it?" Jade asked taking it from him.
"Something Ron and everyone else told me you liked." he said leaving. Jade stared at him and opened the box gasping at the white chocolate.
"You are amazing!" Jade said hugging him.
"I know." he said.
"You want?" Jade offered and he shook his head.
"Sugar isn't good for you." he said and she rolled her eyes.
"Draco bought that for you didn't he?" Jade asked Zaara and she nodded licking the huge lollipop. "Crazy." Jade muttered as a saleswoman came to her.
"Miss, would you like any assistance?" she asked and Jade said
"No thank you."
"Well if you don't plan on buying anything, why don't I just show you some of these necklaces?" she asked and Jade shrugged. "This is a necklace you'll love I'm very positive. This is a one of a kind necklace." she said showing Jade a beautiful disk necklace.
"Wow." Jade said looking at the necklace in detail.
"It swirls with white gold and the purest diamond. It's beautiful. Is it not?" she asked and Jade nodded baffled at it glittering.
"You swirled a diamond into a white gold mix?" Jade asked and the saleswoman nodded.
"Under the hottest temperature and with the right magic." she said.
"So this is the only one you have?" Jade asked and the saleswoman nodded.
"That's pretty!" Zaara said and Jade nodded.
"It is but I wouldn't be able to purchase it unfortunately. It's beautiful though." Jade said seeing the saleswoman nod.
"It's quite all right." she said.
"Done?" Jade asked turning to Draco who nodded.
"Yes Madame. Let's go." he said and Jade took Zaara out.
