THANK YOU! i would hug you all! please review. i love to hear your thoughts and criticisms.

a question about hermoine's middle name was raised. i changed it to fianna hoever i might make you that her name is hermoine fianna jean granger rather than just hermoine fianna granger.

Hermoine and Draco had sat together in the library for what seemed like hours, clinging to each other as if they were each other's lifeline. Draco was breathing deeply, inhaling hermoine's scent as much as possible. He didn't want to believe what she had told him, that is own sibling crushed and broke her. However deep inside somewhere he did. It would mean that Daniel granger was his nephew, his family. It also gave him the excuse to be near hermoine always. He would be there for them now no matter what. He could hear her heart beat as he pressed his cheek to her chest. She felt safe and warm and he could fall asleep in her arms. Her breathes started to shallow as she too closed her eyes with a small smile on her face, The odd tear dripping onto his hair. he knew what he needed to do.

"hermoine"

"mmm"

"i need to do something. Go and get Daniel and get a bag ready full of some nightclothes." Hermoine leant back and looked at him oddly.

"what do you mean go and get a night bag?"

"just do it" draco replied kissing her. " i have a surprise but first i need to do something. Bring enough clothes for two days and nights"

"are we spending christmas wherever we are going then?

"possibly" he smirked and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She giggled as he carried her down the corridor.

Daniel was playing with Harold happily. His mummy was getting better and although he had seen her crying last night daddy had made it all better. He giggled at the memory of him and daddy sneaking into mummy's room like james bond to give her a cuddle. He was happy that his "daddy" had found mummy when she was hurt and in all of that red stuff. Harold blew some more bubble and Daniel quickly ran around popping them all giggling. He didn't notice ginny slowly come into the room.

"hey danny darling!" cooed ginny as she sat down next to him on the sofa. Daniel looked up at his aunty. He liked aunty ginny a lot and remembered when he used to stay with her or Grandma Molly in the topsy-turvy house he thought it was while mummy went to do some writing at work. Daniel waved and then touched harold's nose which produced more bubbles. Ginny started to laugh as she watched the little boy poke each bubble with a little finger.

"when your cousin Jamie comes do you think you will be able to play with him and help uncle harry and i?" Daniel nodded vigorously before placing his little damp hand on ginny's stomach and patting it before waving.

"see Jamie darling i told you Daniel would help us he is very clever and helpful" ginny said smiling stroking her growing bump. " how long have you been here Daniel darling?"

The little boy's face contorted into an expression ginny knew well. It was the replica of hermoine's when she was working out a hard problem. The little boy bit his lip before counting out on his fingers. He then showed 9 of his little digits proudly up to his aunty who looked at him in mock shock.

"ah Daniel really! That a long time isn't it why did you come here?" the little boy nodded before grabbing her hand

" aunty ginny it is a long time but i'm having lots of fun and daddy and nana cissy are making mummy better and mummy is smiling again. daddy found mummy in a street after some badies started to chase us. there were loads of flashing coloured lights and mummy made me hide behind this bin. Then mummy was really cool and got out her wand and was shouting spellys like stupi... stupi... and it was really cool as the badies then feel on the ground. But then some jumped off the roof on top of her and her stick thingy rolled by my feet and the bad people started to hurt mummy " her little voice in his mind was beginning to become thick with tears, " and mummy was on the ground and there was lots of red stuff everywhere like when i cut myself and mummy would wake up or move every time i told her to. " ginny could see the whole event like a film through the boys eyes. Hermoine's face battered and bruised as she was repeated hit with a club and hexed. She could then see the opening onto diagon alley and running up to draco who was walking down.

"then daddy came and picked mummy up adn brought us home to nanna cissy who fed me pizza!" ginny watched as Daniel's memories then shifted to himself, hermoine and draco at the manor. She saw them playing board games, making snowmen, watching draco chase a limping hermoine trying to pick her up but ending with whipped cream in her face and then chocolate sauce, hermoine throwing it at him laughing as they ate waffles. The last memory being Daniel adn draco sneaking into hermoine's room the night before and the instant smile plastered on hermoine's face as the boys sandwiched her together in a cuddle, Draco's hand wrapped firmly around her waist. They all looked happy.

"daddy is making mummy happy and for christmas i've got her a really pretty necklace and daddy and i have a really big surprise but i cant tell anyone. " suddenly ginny exited little daniel's mind and stared at him for a couple of seconds. So much information had just passed through her head. She gulped

"well danny a lot of things have been going on around here haven't they!" that moment draco walked in carried hermoine on his shoulder. She was scowling at him although she had a smile on her face.

"draco put me down now" the blonde gently placed her back on the floor and Daniel immediately went up to hug her.

"hey Daniel baby. Mummy apparently needs to go and pack since you boys have planned a surprise for her" Daniel nodded. And touched her and draco's hands

"yea and you are going to really like what daddy and i have planned!"

Draco looked shocked. He had called him "daddy". He was going to be there for this little boy no matter what. No matter what hermoine said. This little boy wanted him to be his father and he was going to be anyone who he wanted him to be. Draco bent down to Daniel and hugged him.

"of course she is dan. Remember you and i have made it amazing and mummy won't be able to do anything but smile. Now why don't you go and get some toys ready to take and i'll be with you in a minute and then you can go on daddy's shoulders " Daniel smiled happily and draco could feel hermoine's hand on his shoulder.

"come on little man lets go and get ready."

"i'll help you" called ginny and heaved herself up from the sofa. Before hermoine could prpotest ginny had hauled her out of the room with Daniel following behind. Draco was just left there chuckled slightly at hermoine's pained expression.
