Hermione rocked Harmony to and fro coo'ing the child, and trying her best to calm her. Scropious joined her by the fire place, and they stood waiting on Draco. It was only a few minutes later Hermione's forever holding patience snapped. "DRACO!" Hermione bent down "Sweetie tell your father I went ahead to the doctors 'kay?". Scropious nodded smiling. Hermione smiled back at him, leaning forward kissing his forehead and stepped into the Malfoy fireplace adjusting Harmony to her left arm she grabbed a handful of floo powder and called "Saint Mungos!".
A few minutes Draco ran in sweat running down his face looking at the bag adjusting things. "Forgive me! She had to have more milk made up.". Draco was rushing around the couch when he slammed his knee into the side table. "HOLY SH-" and he felt a sharp pang as his words cut off. He bent over and rubbed his knee. He sighed then smiled for the ward he set up after he got full custody of his son.* He looked up to the fire place and only saw his son standing there with his dragon and blanket spilling from his arms. "Where... Where is Hermione and Harmony?" His heart was racing. His daughter was missing. He wanted to slap himself right there. Hermione wouldn't run off with his kid. It was ridiculous to think so. Ha.. Ha.. Right?!
"Daddy? Daddy are you listening to me?" He looked down at his son who was mere inches from his face. "Uh. No. What did you say son?". A blank, unamused face came across his son's face and Draco wanted to bust out laughing. "Mionini to Marri to the doctor.". The blank expression then crossed Draco's face and it was Scropious turn to smirk. Scropious grabbed his fathers hand and pulled hard "Come on daddy! Mionini is waitingggg!" He pulled hard again trying to break his fathers trance. What was with him lately?
Draco let his son pull him to the floo while his head swam, this was all so confusing. Hermione hated him. Scropius finally got fed up with his fathers musing and kicked him in the shin. "DADDY!" Draco jumped, hitting his head on the top of the floo. "Okay okay! I'm sorry!" All he could think while he grabbed the floo powder was 'Damn.. I'm apologizing a lot today..'

Hermione had just stepped out of the floo when Harmony let out another piercing wail. She stopped walking and coo'ed her and nuzzled her into her chest father trying to keep her warm. She paced over to the counter and stood looking at the blonde writing on the parchment that sat in front of her. Hermione then began to tap her foot as she waited, and after a couple more seconds she cleared her throat. The annoyed blonde looked up while chewing on her Crakle Bite Gum. "May I HELP you?" Hermione's eyes widened and then narrowed at the desk associate. "I have a infant who is running a fervor. If your too bust to help me Id like someone who would actually give a crap about her job." The rest of the clerks turned around and stared at Hemione's words. "Um excuse you, were here to help you not take your abuse." The clerk looked happy at her reply and sat down and went back to Ignoring her.
Luna had just stepped out of her patients room and was walking to the front desk again to get the next set of patients. She was merrily walking through the halls other doctors saying hello as they walked by. Luna loved being a healer, and had been since the war ended. (Three and half years ago if nobody has caught on) and as she was approaching the desk she saw the new clerk yelling at Hermione Granger, an old and good friend. She looked at Hermione shocked face and heard the baby in her grasp wailing. Luna's face contorted in anger, how dare her ladies be so insolent as to not to there jobs. Luna strode to Hermione and placed her hand on the woman's arm. "Hello Hermione" Luna's dreamy voice filled the area. Hermione let out a sigh, someone who knew what they were doing.
Suddenly two other people came through the flew. "Mr. Malfoy!" The blonde clerk jumped and ran around the counter and ran to him. "Are you okay?" Draco's face scrunched up and looked at her like she was a piece of dirty on his favorite pair of slacks. He put his hand on Scorpius head and directed him around the blonde and the little boy ran to Hermione. "She's still crying?" a smile spread across Luna and Hermione's face. Draco came to the other side of Hermione and placed a hand on her lower back. Only he noticed the catch in her breath.
Hermione looked up at Draco worry etched all over her face and Draco closed his eyes. Luna stepped in at that moment. No longer being able to bare the child's cries. "Hermione please follow me. Draco you too" Luna's dreamy voice held only a drop of venom as she looked at the clerk. "You wait in my office." With that she turned on her heel and strode down the hall.
Luna lead the group into a room and told Hermione to sit on the table with the baby. Then walked out to go get what ever doctors go to get. Draco lifted his three year old into a chair and smiled warmly at him kissing his forehead. Then turned and walked to Hermione placing his arms on either side of her leaning close to her ear whispering "Thank you.." As he pulled away his lips grazed her cheek. Her face flushed red, and she pulled the child closer to her rocking and she looked up at him and grumbled so the three year old wouldn't hear her. " We will talk about this later."
Draco looked at Hermione with knowledged eyes. She was upset to feel weak. To feel like he was going to get his way again, and as she looked into his eyes. It felt that he would, because those eyes held all that they did before Astoria ever came between them. Or she came between him and Astoria. Happiness, determination, and maybe.. just maybe love? Hermione breathed in and continued to rock the child in her arms. It was to much right now. Just to much. Hermione smiled. She didn't feel like she wanted it to stop though. Maybe it was that rush she felt, maybe it was because she never really let him go. She didn't know. Hermione wasn't sure she wanted to know though.

Luna walked back in and saw Draco looking dreamily at Hermione as she looked down at the baby blushing deeply. She cleared her throat and Draco stepped back and Hermione looked up at Luna. The witch smiled softly at the pair and stepped forward pulling her wand out and asking Draco to step back. She stood in front of Hermione and waved her wand over the child and blue glow filling the room as the baby wailed louder and louder. Hermione's face paled as she watched her friends face grow grim. When the glow dissipated Luna smiled a sad smile and muttered "We wont know till the tests come back, but everything should be fine." She didn't look at anyone as she walked out of the room. Leaving the two adults to stare at each other in fear.
Luna ran down the hall and into the lab and to her table where the test results were filling into the tubes and her assistant progressing them. She watched over her assistants shoulder. The younger boy looked up with sad eyes. "It's Drangon Pox Miss." Luna let tears fill her eyes and she looked away and dejectedly walked out of the lab. Then remembered the younger boy that came into the room with Draco. She rushed down the hall and into her office and floo'ed her husband who stepped through the fire immidently. Neville Longbottum looked at his wife with worry. She never calls him while shes ate work. "Come with me." A confused expression crossed his face as they ran out. The two were panting by the time they got back to Hermione's room who let silent tears drip down her face as she tried to comfort the child in her arms.
Luna looked at Draco a stern expression as she looked at him. "I need you to let Neville take your son back to my office. Don't argue with me. He may be in danger." A dark expression crossed his face before he let a warm smile cross his face as he crouched in front of his son. " Here's what daddy needs you to do okay? Get your dragon and blanket and go with Mr Longbottum okay? He'll protect you, and you know what to say if you need daddy 'kay?". The boy smiled and jumped off the chair clutching his dragon and blanket to him. Walking to Neville Draco stopped them from walking out ash he called Neville's name. No words were spoken Draco and Neville had the silent father communication that said ' if you let him get hurt in anyway I'll kill you. Neville merely nodded then lead the boy back to his wife's office.
Luna sighed and leaned against the door and Draco stood beside Hermione again stroking her hair as Luna began to speak. "Harmony... Harmony has Dragon Pox."
