We all love you so very much :D Now shall we continue this story?

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own these characters and if I did..well I'm sure you don't want that to happen haha

It was not long before Harry and Ron left. The good thing was that Harry was opening to the little blonde and they seemed to get along brilliantly. Funny how two enemies could have so much in common and actually get along with each other. Ron, on the other hand was down right rude. He was huffy and pushy, literally. He actually pushed the small child down when Draco had asked him a question. That brought tears to the grey eyes and Hermione had to lead them out of the dorm. Shooing the two away Hermione promised Harry that he would be able to see Draco, and Ron well he was suffering from a stinging hex on his ear the rightful prat. Shutting the portrait door Hermione walked over to Draco who was sniffling and rubbing his water eyes.

"Are you are right luv?' Hermione asked crouching down to his level. Draco looked up and nodded his face red and wet.

"W-what did I do? Did I do something bad? Father does that when I'm a bad boy. Why doesn't he like me?" Draco sniffed rubbing his nose on the sleeve of his robe.

Hermione's heart clenched at the scene and she went down and scooped him up rubbing the stray tears with the pad of her thumb. "No, no. Ron doesn't hate you. He just..he just isn't comfortable around new people." She said not wanting to tell the exact truth on why Ronald hated him.

Draco just nodded shifting so his head was once again on her chest. He clenched his small fist grabbing some of her shirt in the process. He didn't know why the ginger hated him, but he was determined to make him his friend.

"Dray, how about you and me take a bath? I'm sure there is some swim trunks around here." She said softly giving a kiss to his silver blond hair. It was so soft, and angelic. Hermione sort of wished that older Draco was here so she could just run her hands through his soft- Uh wait, no. Hermione flushed shaking her head. God Hermione you're going bonkers. Feeling Draco shift again his face was lit up and smiling.

"Can we go swimming?" He asked with a big grin. Hermione smiled pushing the strange thoughts to the back of her head.

"Of course we can, lemme go find you some trunks and we can go swimming." She replied placing him down. Draco giggled running to his room dragging Hermione along. Rummaging through his dresser. Hermione found some green and silver printed trunks that had golden snitches fly around them. Helping him out of his robes, turning her head of course when the pants came out since Draco requested it, not that she would look anyways…Well maybe. Okay Hermione that's enough stop thinking now.

After she told Draco to wait she placed her own swim suit on. It was a once piece that was a deep red. She had others of course, but she thought this was the most acceptable around a six year old.

The bathroom they had was much like the Prefect's bath, except it was more child friendly. Turning the silver faucet on they waited for the bath to fill up. It was like a swimming pool so Draco and Hermione could easily swim in it, but instead of cold freezing ice water like the outdoor ones, you could easily change the temperature to your content.

Draco was the first to go in making big splashes and peals of laughter bubbling out of the blonde. Suds and bubbles formed as Hermione placed the scents for the bath. Green apples and cinnamon, she inhaled the scent smiling. She stepped in feeling the lukewarm water splash on her thighs, the water temperature was perfect for Draco not too cold and not too hot.

"Herma! Herma!" Draco giggled grabbing the suds and pushing them towards the Gryffindor. Since Draco could not pronounce her name he easily came up with a nickname for her, well it was better than Mione. She couldn't stand the nickname. Giggling she swam towards Draco watching him pop the multicolored bubbles. Taking a small manta ray from the toy chest near Hermione she let the silver toy swim in the water Draco watching it with curious grey eyes. He was so cute his hair was a dull yellow now that it was wet and droplets hanged off shaking when Draco turned his head to watch the manta ray swim next to him.

Hermione leaned against the stone watching Draco play with the manta ray. It was a adorable sight and she was lost in thought thinking about the bruises and scars that littered on the back and front of Draco. Was he abused? Surely not, since he did seem to love his parents very much after all he used the phrase 'Wait until my father hears of this.' for the longest of times. She was pulled out of her thoughts when a small splash of water hit her in the face. Looking up she saw Draco laughing his head back giving off soft sweet sound. It was like a bell or chimes in the wind.

"Oh it is on." Hermione said with a competitive look. Draco looked at her with wide eyes as she advanced forward like a shark. He giggled and tried to swim away but she was too fast and grabbed his thin ankle pulling him towards her. Struggling he felt her fingers tickle is skin making him laugh and kick his feet out.

Hermione giggled smiling widely as she continued to tickle him ignoring the shouts from Draco. "Say Auntie! Say Auntie!" She told him with a wide grin on her face. Draco finally giving up he slackened saying a raspy 'Auntie'. He panted leaning his head on Hermione's chest clearly exhausted. It was normal since a child

"Alright Silver lets put you to bed." She said getting up out of the water having Draco on her hip.

"But Herma I'm not tired!" Draco whined, but his body was the traitor, his eyes were droopy and tired. Hermione laughed at the sight, still stubborn as ever.

Hermione placed Draco down grabbing a green fluffy towel and began to dry him. Ruffling his hair she hummed attempting to get all the water off. Satisfied she placed the towel on his small shoulders giving a smile. "All dry." She said sweetly grabbing a towel of her own and placing around her.

Picking up Draco she felt his soft skin on hers, his small arms wrapped around her. Heading towards Draco's room she stopped grabbing a red dragon in which roared when she picked it up. Furrowing her brows she found her wand flicking the toy chest so it would levitate with her to Draco's room.

Hermione opened the wooden door placing the chest down as well as the sleepy Draco. Beaming at the boy who claimed to be 'not tired' she helped him get dressed into some pajamas. They were soft and had a gold dragon imprinted on the chest pocket. Watching him crawl into the bed he snuggled into the covers popping his little head out.

"Herma, can you sing to me?" He asked his arms out seeing her carry the plush red dragon. Hermione thought for a minute and nodded giving the dragon to him. Sitting on the edge of the bed she looked for the perfect song. She remembered a song her mother had sang to her when she was small, she believed it was from some movie that she had seen a while back. Opening her mouth she began to sing.

"Why are there so many songs about rainbowsand what's on the other side?Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,and rainbows have nothing to we've been told and some choose to believe it.I know they're wrong, wait and we'll find it, the rainbow lovers, the dreamers and me."

She glanced over at Draco who was smiling softly his eyes fluttering shut almost asleep. Smiling she continued the song, her voice was a bit shaky but Draco seemed to love it.

"Who said that every wish would be heardand answered when wished on the morning star?Somebody thought of that and someone believed what it's done so 's so amazing that keeps us star gazingand what do we think we might see?Someday we'll find it, the rainbow lovers, the dreamers and me."

Hermione stopped hearing the soft sigh coming from the sleeping Draco. She smiled tucking in the covers and giving a soft kiss on the cheek. Getting up she left the room shutting the doors softly.

….

The hours Draco slept Hermione sat by the fire reading her book, though her mind kept wandering off to places mostly to Draco. He was so innocent, so what happened? Why was he the way he was during the present time? Sighing she slammed her book down and rubbed her temples. Things just got complicated. Hearing a soft peck from outside she looked up to find a small mousey owl. "What in the world.." She asked herself getting up and opening the door allowing the owl to come in. With a hoot the owl landed on the counter placing a parcel down and flying off without a treat or anything.

Cautiously she walked up to the package fingering the tag that read,

To Miss Hermione Granger

And Young Draco Malfoy

Hermione raised a brow looking for the sender's name, not find a single name she ripped open the package to find several different things. First was a bunch of galleons that had a note saying, Incase of emergencies. Placing the galleons aside she found a small wooden box that had ivory vines engraved in the cherry wood. Opening it two dragons flew side by side as a soft tinkling tune played. Inside there was a picture of a six year old holding a small baby dragon with a big smile on his face. The back had a description of Draco and the dragon, whose name was Hermes. Looking deeper into the box she found a tooth necklace must have been from Hermes she thought reminding herself to give this to him. She shut the music box with a smile.

After looking at the package and what was inside she heard a loud cry and immediately went to Draco's room. He was crying his little form shaking, nightmare he was having a nightmare. Crawling on the bed she held Draco tightly as he sobbed into her shirt.

"Please...please don't let them take him away. H-he didn't do anything." Draco sobbed clearly not knowing where he was. Hermione shushed him cradling his small trembling form.

"It's okay Draco, I'm here. I'm here." She soothed rubbing circles in his back. Draco looked up with watery grey eyes.

"Her-my-knee?" He rasped biting his small bottom lip. She nodded holding him tightly, he pushed deeper into her chest giving out small whimpers. Hermione frowned she didn't like to see him cry no not at all.

"It'll be alright Draco, it'll be alright." She whispered leaning back into the bed snuggling up closer to the small child. A small nap wouldn't hurt, Harry and Ron wouldn't be here for a while. Taking in a deep sigh she felt herself drift off to sleep still holding Draco in her arms.
