Chapter 3

Hermione stood in front of the mirror. She stared at her self. She wore low rise blue jeans and a green top that tied at the neck. She heard the bathroom door open and she saw Drake poke his head in.

"Woah! Mum when did you get that shirt!" he exclaimed.

"Yesterday, you like it?" she asked. Drake nodded his head. "Good come on. We can leave as soon as I get my shoes on and change your hair color."

"But muuuum!" Drake whined.

"But mum what?" she asked.

"I like my hair! Why do I have to change it?" he asked. Hermione smiled at her son. She picked him up and answered,

"Because your hair reminds me of your daddy."

"Where is daddy?"

"He's... gone."

"You mean dead?"

"No not dead. Just away."

"When can I meet him?"

"When he comes back, now let me do your hair... spiked, back, or down?"

"Umm... I want it spiked today!"

"Okay! Hold on." Hermione told him as she quickly changed his hair color and spiked it up.

"Can we go now?" Drake asked."

"Yes we can. Come on." she told him as she walked up to the door, she opened it to see Draco about to knock.

"Hermione, I was about to knock." he told her.

"I'm sorry Draco, but I gotta take Drake here to see the snake exhibit." Draco smiled at the little boy next to Hermione.

"Hello there. You must be Drake."

"Hi! Are you my daddy?" Drake asked. Draco looked up Hermione questioning before looking back at Drake.

"I don't think I am. Why do you ask?"

"Because I lo-" Drake started but stopped when Hermione shook her head at him. "Nevermind." Dake finished.

"Uh-huh. Alright, well i guess I should leave you two to go see that snake exhibit." Draco said before he turned to leave.

"You wanna come with us Mr. Draco?" Drake asked.

"Sure why not. Besides I like snakes."

"Mummy said that she had a friend that could talk to snakes. Then she told me that when she was in school that there was this guy who was really mean to her that got turned into a ferret. She said that was one of those days when she felt bad for the guy..." Drake blurted out. Hermione smiled sweetly at her son while Draco's eyes widened.

"Your mum felt sorry for me huh?" Hermione rolled her eyes as she went around Draco.

"Come on Drake you want to spend the whole day at the zoo right?" she asked.

"Of course! I was just waiting for you mummy. Besides I know that it takes you forever getting ready!" Drake said smirking at his mum.

"If you want to continue to go to the zoo then you better wipe that smirk off your face." she warned. Drake stopped smirking then looked back at Draco.

"Can he come mummy?" he asked.

"I don't know sweety. I think Draco may have some other plans today." Drake looked over at Draco and asked,

"Will you pleeeease come with us? Cancel whatever else your doing and come with us. It'll be fun!" Drake exclaimed. He made the puppy dog eyes and waited. Draco glared at Hermione and said,

"I can't believe you taught him that. You know no one can't say no to that look."

"Actually I didn't teach him. He picked it up from Ginny when she begged her dad to let her go to the mall. He's done it to everyone except me because he knows I can with stand it." Hermione told him.

"Yeah and its no fair too! How am I suppose to get a cookie before dinner with her being able to be not effected by it?" Drake asked. Draco smiled at the little boy. He could feel some kind of connection to him some how. Plus he reminded him of a little Draco.

"Alright little guy were leaving. Lets go see that snake exhibit." Draco said as he started to walk ahead. Drake ran up to him and grabbed his hand. Hermione just followed the two.

Drake pressed his face against the window of the snake.

"I like this one!" he cried out. Hermione looked at the long green snake.

"That's pretty big..." she muttered.

"Scared Granger?" Draco asked. Hermione rolled her eyes at the line he used with Harry during second year.

"Dream on Malfoy! I'm a Gryffndor remember?"

"Uh-huh! If I remember correctly Granger that you were the one screaming at me to not leave you alone in the woods." Hermione glared at him.

"Well shut it Malfoy! Besides weren't you bloody scared too in those woods? I went in there willingly a couple times. Unlike you." Hermione turned away and headed towards the next snake.

"Mummy when I'm older can I get a snake?" Drake asked.

"No dear."

"Why not!" he whined.

"Because I said you can't."

"Your afraid huh mummy?" Hermione smacked her head in defeat.

"Come on Drake were going to go look at the other animals." she said changing the subject.

"I want to stay with the snakes though!"

"We'll comeback I promise! The other animals want to see you also." Drake sighed then nodded his head.

"Man Hermione Drake must be tough." Draco told her.

"Yeah right! I've been through worst then him."

"Yeah who?"

"You!" she said as she headed off towards the penguins leaving Draco confused.

"Mummy how come they walk funny?" Drake asked as the walked to the lions.

"Because they're penguins."

"Okay... why are we going o see the lions? You know I hate seeing the lions."

"That's because you hate the idea being a Gryffindor like me."

"Exactly! I want to be in that Snake house like daddy!" Drake exclaimed. Hermione froze at her sons words.

"How do you know that your father was in Slytherin?" she asked. Drake smiled sheepishly at her.

"Oh.. well Uncle George let it slip one day..."

"When did he let it slip?"

"Yesterday... He said that I looked like my daddy the Slytherin git! It was quite humorous actually." Hermione nodded her head sighing relief. "Mummy can I run up ahead to see the hippos?"

"Sure Drake, but be safe." she told him before he ran up ahead to the hippos.

"I knew your son had Slytherin traits in him!" Draco exclaimed.

"Malfoy shut it. I don't want to talk about Drake's father right now."

"Touche Granger but I do. Who's his father? Come on tell me. You know you want to." he smirked at her. Hermione glared at him.

"Malfoy I said shut it!"

"What did his father walk out on you or something? COme one Granger tell me!"

"Malfoy his father doesn't even know that he has a son!" she snapped glaring at him.

"Oh really? How come? Come on tell me which lucky Slytherin has a half-blood for a son."

"How do you know that your not the father yourself?"

"Oh I would know because we would have had done it 3 years ago. So I'm not the father."

"Well there is such thing as a memory charm Malfoy. I could've made that night just disappear." she told him before walking off. Draco stood there standing like an idiot replaying her words.

"Granger!" he yelled as he ran up to her.

"Yes Malfoy?" she asked looking at him smiling.

"We.. no! We never.. did we?"

"Missing a few words there Malfoy?"

"Drake's my son?" he asked while Hermione continued to smile.

"Hey Drake come here for a sec!" she called.

"Yeah mum?" Drake asked walking up.

"Do you want your regular hair color?" she asked him.

"You mean I can be blonde again?" he exclaimed.

"Yes hold still while I change it back." Drake stood still while Hermione quickly changed it back. "There... Malfoy I would like you too meet Drake Lucious Granger. Your three year old son. Drake, Draco here is your father." Draco's face went pale while Drake's eyes lite up in excitement.

"He's the Slytherin git Uncle George was talking about! Wow! I thought he looked like me when I saw him back at the other house."

"S-Son? You sure that he's my son? This isn't some joke is it?" Draco asked.

"He is your son. I erased your memory the next morning three years ago. Ever since I have had Drake here. " Hermione said smiling down at Drake, who attached himself to her leg.

"Bloody hell!" Draco exclaimed before fainting.

Well that's all for now. I hopw you like it. And whoever reviewed thank you bunches!
