A/N: I want to thank everyone who stayed loyal throughout my freak out. I'm really sorry about that. Don't worry about it anymore. It won't happen again. I also want to thank my editor: zoebabii328 who really helped me out with this. So without further ado, I give you another chapter.
Day 3: Wednesday
Hermione woke up to Dakota crying. She got out of bed and held Dakota until she stopped crying. As she got ready, she thought about what happened last night.
Flashback:
At dinner Hermione noticed that Draco was late.
Where is he?
Near the end of dinner, Draco still wasn't there yet. She was just about to get up to go look for him when he suddenly appeared at her side.
OH MY GOD…
"Malfoy you BROKE our baby?"
"Well I didn't mean to. When I was leaving… well you know where… I was running to get to class. I tripped and she flew out of my hands." Draco explained.
He was holding Dakota in one hand. The other hand held her left arm.
"So why were you late? And why is she so quiet?"
"I was trying to fix her and I put a silencing charm on her."
Hermione got up from the table, grabbed Draco's arm, and dragged him from the Great Hall.
"Where are we going?" Draco asked trying to wiggle free.
"To the hospital wing. Duh!" Hermione said rolling her eyes.
When they got there, they showed Madame Pomfrey a broken Dakota.
"I can fix her no problem. I've already gotten couples coming here with baby problems. But I'm going to have to tell Professor Snape." the nurse said.
"Why?" Hermione asked looking worried.
"Because he told me to." She replied.
"Great… just great." Hermione said as they left with a full Dakota. "Nice going Malfoy. Can't wait to see what you do next."
"I said I'm sorry."
"Well you should be." With that, Hermione walked away.
End of flashback
"I'm going to have to keep an eye on your father." Hermione stated looking at Dakota. Dakota didn't move. "I must be crazy… I'm talking to a doll." she said cracking a smile.
"It's okay Mommy."
Hermione jumped and then turned around to see Ginny standing there laughing. "Ha-ha Ginny. You're so funny."
"You're so easy Hermione." Ginny gasped after she was done. "Anyway, ready to go to breakfast?"
Not ready for Malfoy if that's what you're asking…
"Let's go."
-------------------------------------------
At breakfast Hermione and Draco didn't talk. She just gave him Dakota. At lunch it was the same way.
I can't take it anymore…
"Are you still mad at me?" Draco asked.
"Yes I am." Hermione replied glaring at him.
"I said I was sorry." Draco said starting to get angry.
So I broke the baby. Madam Pomfrey fixed her. Why is she making such a big deal about it?
"So? It doesn't change what you did."
"Why are you making such a big deal out of this?" Draco asked raising his voice.
"Because you're being careless. You've already broken Dakota and it has only been three days. And now, because of you, we're going to be in trouble with Snape."
So THAT'S what she's worried about…
"Will you relax? You heard Pomfrey. Plenty of other babies have already been broken. What's he going to do?"
"I guess you're right." Hermione grumbled so that he barely heard her.
After that, the pair still remained quiet but there was no longer any hostile tension between them. When lunch ended, they decided to stay in the Great Hall for their free period. They separated talking to their own friends.
Draco was unconsciously looking at Hermione from the corner of his eye. But when Seamus walked up to Hermione, he turned to watch them. Seamus sat down and started talking to her. It almost looked like…
It looks like he's flirting with her…
Draco found that he was glaring at them. Hermione's eyes slowly started to glide over to where he was sitting. He quickly shot his head away but after a second peered over at her again out of the corner of his eye. She was talking to Seamus again.
Look at him walking up to her like he's the king of the world. Why would he want to talk to her anyway? Why would ANYONE want to talk to her?
"Draco… earth to Draco!" Blaise said waving his hand in front of Draco's face.
"What?" Draco snapped turning to face his best friend.
"Who are you glaring at?"
"No one! What are you talking about?" Draco asked with a confused expression.
"Sure…" Blaise said smiling in a way that annoyed Draco.
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked starting to get angry.
""It looked to me like you were glaring at a certain Gryffindor and her friend." Blaise said smugly.
"No! Why would I care what she does?"
"Maybe because…" Blaise started but was interrupted when Pansy appeared.
"Hi Drakie-poo!" She said squeezing herself between Blaise and Draco.
But once again, Draco was staring at Hermione unconsciously.
A/N: Not a cliffhanger, but it's an interesting ending don't you think? So as I said in my other HP fanfic, I want to make shorter chapters. But to make it fair, I'm going to update faster. The more reviews I get though, the faster I update. The less reviews, the longer it takes to update. I need motivation people…
