Now That You're Here
Chapter 4
Draco sat in his private booth at his restauraunt The Wand, he was nervous about his forthcoming meeting with Ginny Weasley. After a lot of thought Draco decided that a few things needed to be changed in his life in order to make him happy and it all started with Ginny. If she wasn't on board then there was no point and he'd fall back to plan B.
Ginny arrived on time and was shown to Draco's table. He greeted her and had a drink waiting for her. She sat down and took a sip before addressing him.
"I almost thought I was gonna be late, a few students from Hogwarts came in on a tour as part of the apprentice program."
"You are as punctual as ever." Draco said. Ginny nodded at the compliment
"So Draco, what can I help you with? Your message was so cryptic."
"This isn't easy for me to say or explain or ask so bare with me…" he sips his fire whiskey as the waiter comes over. After they order Draco continues "Ginny first let me apologize again for my behavior the night I removed the scars…I got carried away and acted inappropriately"
"Draco, you all told be what happened and there was no harm done at all no need to apologize…you got carried away, it happens." Ginny assured him
"Very well then, as you know I have been with a few women"
Ginny smirks "A bit conservative isn't it?"
"Very well, I lot of women, and they are all after the money…it's never been me. It comes down to this…I want a child, an heir; I have everything in the world but that. I've seen how happy everyone is with their children and I would like to experience that. Maybe be a better father then mine was."
"Draco I think that's a very good idea children are wonderful and fill you with a joy that nothing else can come close too, how can I help you?" Ginny asked
"If you are agreeable I would like Hermione to be the mother"
Ginny spits out her drink and quickly covers her mouth as Draco laughs at her
"Before you yell let me explain, you know I love you and Hermione but I never told her because I didn't want to be in the way of the two of you. I respect your relationship. I'm speaking of more or less a three way relationship. They are not that uncommon in our world as you know but Hermione may have issues with this idea. You may also have issues but I didn't want to approach you together because if you are opposed then I'll scrap the idea and get a surrogate" Draco explained quite rapidly
"Well I'm not gonna yell, I'm actually flattered because Hermione and I were starting to discuss how we could have kids and your name did come up as a possible candidate. And Draco, Hermione is well aware of how you feel about her. we've had long talks about you and I'm ok with it I'm not as insecure as people think. As far as your proposal it's something that we would have to sit and iron out details on but I think it could work out well for everyone. May I broach the topic with Mione first?"
"Oh of course whatever way you think is best is fine with me" agreed Draco and the rest of dinner was spent discussing the possibility of this arrangement with pros and cons so Ginny could be prepared for the questions Hermione's mind would undoubtedly come up with.
They said their goodbyes and apperated back to their respected homes. Draco alone in the Manor and Ginny to the warm embrace of the woman she loves.
"Hello my luv, I've missed you" Ginny says as she places a soft kiss on Hermione's lips"
"I was staring to think you'd run off with Draco" Hermione joked as she lead Ginny to the sofa
"Work ran late so I was late getting to Draco" Ginny sat down drawing Hermione onto her lap
"Oh" Hermione exclaimed as she dropped into the red heads lap "so what was it that Draco wanted to tell you?"
"Well luv Draco has somewhat of a business proposition for you…actually us"
"Business proposition? I already work for him, what's left?" Hermione joked
"He wants you to carry his child" Ginny blurted out quickly as Hermione stared at her is shock
"Carry his …..What?" Hermione asked
"Oh good you did hear me I don't think I have the ability to repeat that"
"Draco Malfoy has problems getting women now?"
"No luv it's not like that, you see…." Ginny went on to explain what she and Draco had discussed at dinner. Hermione listened intently.
After Ginny finished her story Hermione looked at her, her brain was swimming with questions
"Well how would you feel about that?"
"You know how much I love you. I would really not have any issues with this arrangement at all and that doesn't mean I don't care. I'm just not that naive and insecure. I may even be arrogant in saying that I know you would never leave me or cheat on me."
Hermione smiled "I feel the same way about you…and we owe so much of our happiness and success, not to mention my life, to Draco. I don't feel obligated to provide him with a child…but the three of us are so close it seems to be a logical step. But there are details that need to be addressed."
"Of course there are, Draco said if we came to an agreement then he would meet with us and we can all sit down and iron out everyone's concerns" replied Ginny
"Well good, we can owl him in the morning and set up a time, for now I want to go to bed." Hermione said with a hint of sensuality.
A few days passed and they met with Draco to iron out the details and legalities of their new alliance. Draco's lawyer and Hermione's lawyer had everything spelled out precisely the way the trio wanted it. They covered child birth, child care, work, where they would live and money. Once it was all said and done Draco took them out to dinner to celebrate their new arrangement.
"Whenever you two want to move into the Manor just let me know and I'll send the men over to help you pack." Draco offered
"Yes that will be helpful, and it's very nice of you to let Sebastian stay in the house after we move. Thank you Draco." Hermione said as she reached for his hand and gave it a squeeze. Ginny noticed this and smiled.
"It's not a problem, besides I don't want bird boy living with us" Draco teased
"I know you're teasing Draco…." Hermione smiled
"I'm glad we did this, I feel very good about this arrangement? Relationship? What is this exactly?" Ginny asked
"Yes what is this? I think arrangement sounds too cold" Hermione added
"We can refer to this as a 3 way relationship just as we did in all the paperwork. Merlin that was a lot of paperwork." Draco sighed
"Draco, let me just say again that we owe so much of our happiness to you it's a pleasure to be able to bring some of our happiness to you." Hermione leaned in and kissed him as Ginny raised a glass of wine
"Here, here…to Draco"
They all toasted Draco and he blushed a deep pink.
"You think you're blushing now, wait till you see the night Hermione and I have planned for you" Ginny said seductively as Draco smirked and Hermione blushed.
"When is that?" Draco asked impatiently
"Not until we get settled into the Manor" Hermione stated to her two horny companions
Ginny and Draco whined and made faces at her which made her laugh.
"Don't make those faces at me; you know I need to be organized before I can concentrate on something like that. I'm looking forward to it as much as you two."
"I doubt that" said Draco
"Me too" agreed Ginny
"Perhaps I should have secure my own room when we were negotiating the terms….you two look positively lecherous" Hermione gasped
"We should look like that you and I haven't shagged since you got home from the hospital and Draco has wanted to shag you since third year." Ginny whispered. Hermione blushed again
"Well then after we move to the Manor we will have a night set aside so we can…umm...indulge" Hermione said delicatly
"Indulge? Always the proper lady aren't you Hermione? How did you ever end up with Ginny?" Draco asked
"I ask myself that often" said Ginny "I'm just lucky."
"Now until we move no fooling around." Hermione said to more groans from her lovers "this way it will be a much more exciting experience."
"I'm sure it would be just as exciting if Draco and I did you right here right now" Ginny argued
"No. that is not going to happen we will wait, understood?" Hermione asked sternly
Draco and Ginny nodded their heads in agreement.
"Good now can we get back to our meal?
They all continued eating and drinking until it was very late. Then the apperated back to their homes full and content with the new arrangement.
