Defiantly a Malfoy!

Part Two: Second Year.

+Flashback+

Draco ran to the Hospital Wing yet again to find Hermione. He saw Madame Pomfrey pour something into her still mouth before walking back to the portal that to her to her quarters. He ran to her side with a strong sense of De-ja-vu.

"Hermione." He whispered half hoping she wouldn't wake up so he could say this without her being awake to argue with him. "Hermione, I know I am probably the last person you want to see...well...hear at the moment but I need to tell you the truth. You need to understand I'm sorry for what I said. My father threatened to have you killed and I didn't know what else to do. And I know that that is no excuse to act the way I did and what I said. This year has been the worst year of my life and I need you to wake up now. I need to see your big beautiful eyes. I need to know that you are alright and that you are going to be alright. I know I have no right to ask any of this of you but I need you. You need o be ok because I don't know what I'd do if you d...di-died knowing thinking I really thought what I said about you was true. I don't want you to think that I hated you. I'm sorry...I'm so, so sorry..." He repeated that for a while until he heard a faint reply.

"I forgive you." Hermione cried tears falling from her eyes. Draco flung his arms around her neck, whispering thank you over and over again.

"How much did you hear?" Draco tentatively asked blushing.

"I have been able to hear since Madame Pomfrey gave me the mandrake but I had to slowly regain strength. So I heard everything pretty much." Draco paled hoping she had missed most of it.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok; I know you can't help his ways." Hermione said knowing that he was probably focusing on the part about his father.

"No, it's not. I should never have called you that Hermione." Draco felt his eyes watering.

"How about this, we meet once a month in the library and tell everyone that Dumbledore has forced us together for study time. In the meantime we aren't horrible to each other in the corridors, perhaps we can banter but just no Mudblood or Ferret. Is that ok?" She asked hoping to Merlin that it was.

"It sounds truly great." He smiled at her and sat with her until she fell asleep again.

+End Flashback+

So you promised that you wouldn't be mean to each other anymore?" Scorpius asked.

"Well obviously that's what she just said. You really don't have a brain cell do you?" Dylan sighed, shaking his head.

"At least I know how to talk to a girl. You just stay curled up in the library with your precious books." Scorpius shoved his little brother off balanced do he fell over and dropped his book.

"Hey, I'm the one with the gi-" Dylan cut himself off, picking himself up and clutching his book to his chest.

"You're the one with the what?" Scorpius raised his eyebrows.

"Nothing. Continue with the story Dad." Dylan shuffled quickly.

"No-wait; hold up, you were going to say girlfriend weren't you! Dylan's got a girlfriend! He loves her, he wants to kiss her!" Scorpius sung.

"Shut up!" Dylan shouted flashing bright red.

"Dylan do you have a girlfriend?" Hermione questioned.

"Err...well...I-I mean what would you say if I did?" Dylan said rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's great! You finally got out of the library-ow!" Draco cried as Hermione cut him off by hitting his arm.

"Draco! There is nothing wrong with being in the library! If you recall I spent a lot of my time in that library, and we had many a good time times in there."

"Erlk! I really don't want to know do I?" Scorpius scrunched up his nose. Draco winked and shook his head earning another slap on the chest.

"It's alright mum. I actually met Athena in the library." Dylan smiled.

"Athena, what a beautiful name and you met her in the library how perfect! What's she like?" Hermione smiled giddy with the thought that soon she would meet her son's girlfriend.

"She's beautiful, smart, funny and the complete opposite of me!" Dylan laughed before looking at the confused faces before explain more. "She's a Slytherin." He clarified.

"Wait, wait, wait Athena, Athena Bailey?" Scorpius shifted further towards his brother. He was in fact a Slytherin which surprised everyone because they all thought he would be a Ravenclaw. Aurora was exactly the Slytherin, IN fact Hermione and Draco had a bet going to see where she would be placed. Dylan was obviously Gryffindor like his mother so when Aurora went to Hogwarts the Slytherins would out way the Gryffindors until Draco convinced Hermione to have another child. Hermione was surprised at how much Draco loved having a family.

"Yes, why?" Dylan scrunched his brows.

"Wow dude, I'm proud of you little bro!" Scorpius high fived his younger brother.

"Thanks but I want to finish mum and dad's story."

"Ok well your mother wasn't released from the infirmary until the end of year feast." Draco explained.

+Flashback+

Hermione strolled down the hall trying to get to the Great Hall as soon as possible, she hated being the centre of attention and knew the later she arrived the more people would be looking at her. She would be stared at and there would be whispers She veered around and empty corridor, Hermione could see an shady figure at the end of the corridor with their hands stuffed in their pockets, one leg rested against the wall, head down.

"Hello ?" she asked, slowing down as the proceeded down the hall.

"Hello." She hear the familiar voice of her Slytherin friend.

"What are you doing down here?" Hermione asked now standing in front of Draco.

"Well I couldn't see you n the Great Hall and figured you weren't out of the Hospital Wing yet. So I thought I'd come and wait for you. I wanted to say good bye before we leave." He shrugged.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Draco stated non-committed.

"Yes there is come on you can tell me."

"It's just that my dad keeps drumming into me that I need to be a Malfoy, I need to be emotionless, I need to be strong, I need to be everything that is expected of me." He growled out shaking her head. "I can't take it anymore! I don't want to be a Mudblood hating Malfoy!" Draco shouted, Hermione reciled slightly at his outburst.

"I'm sorry Hermione I didn't mean it like that-" Draco spluttered.

"Don't worry Draco, I knew what you meant. But Draco you don't have to be any of that." Hermione sighed, Draco looked confused.

"You are going to grow up soon Draco, you're going to be old enough soon, to make your own decisions and you need to think about who you want to be.," he poked his chest above his heart. "You can be your own man. Decide for yourself what is right and wrong, good and evil. You can't follow what your father say for the rest of your life. Especially if you doubt what he agrees with." Hermione said standing close to him.

"I don't doubt his views." Draco said still looking at the floor. Hermione stepped back starting to walk away thinking he had changed his mind, she turned and walked away trying to push back the tears.

"I don't doubt my father's beliefs because I think they are absolute rubbish." Draco called. Hermione stopped and turned around slowly to see Draco stood in the middle of the hall.

"Really?" Hermione asked stepping forward one step before jolting to a stop. Draco walked forward and stood in front of his little Gryffindor friend.

"To my very core." Draco smiled before furrowing his brows. "Do you trust me?" Hermione nodded her head. Draco pulled out a small blade from his boot. It was as thin as parchment. Draco picked up Hermione's left hand and made the smallest cut below her ring finger, before doing the same on his own hand. He showed her the blood on his hand before lifting hers as well. "See, there is no difference in our blood. It is exactly the same. I can't see why there would be a difference. There is nothing different about us we are both human and both been given the right to perform magic." He pressed their hands together "There should be nothing wrong with us being friends with me touching you like my father believes. I know he is wrong." Draco sighed. Hermione could feel their blood mixing.

"Thank you." Hermione smiled.

"How did you get to be so smart and show me all of this?" Draco asked.

"It's a gift I guess.." She smiled. Draco hugged her and laughed.

"I'm going to miss you." He said.

"Oh me too, but you'll see me too and we will be thirteen!" Hermione giggled. (A.N I know Draco's birthday is actually is in June (I think) but I wanted them to be the same age when they come back to school) Draco laughed with her and nodded. Hermione hugged him again before waving over her shoulder as she walked away to the Great Hall.


Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table, she looked up and s Draco sitting down in-between Blaise and Theodore Nott. Draco had told her hat apart from herself and Blaise Theo was, Draco considered, was his closest friend. He looked up at Hermione and smiled at her, Hermione smiled at her food. A smile plastered on her face for the rest of the day.

+End Flashback+

"I still remember that conversation, looking back now I realise it was the first time I realised your mothers amazing ability to... always be right." Draco chuckled. Hermione nodded in agreement.

"He has never truly won an argument since then."

"Damn why do women always think they are right!" Scorpius shook his head. Hermione threw a pillow at her eldest sons head..

"Hey!" He shouted.

"I will not have my son growing up with that view. You'll never get a girlfriend with that thinking!"

"I don't want to have a girlfriend anyway. I'm going to play the field. Like dad." Scorpius said brightly. Draco coughed.

"Er...yes well moving on. What happened next was that-"

"No hang on! What did you tell them?" Hermione cocked her eyebrow.

"That he was a player at school" Dylan said who had re-opened his book and answered without looking up."

"DRACO!" Hermione yelled.

"what?" He tried to look innocent.

"You need to stop telling your children lies!" She crossed her arms across her chest.

"I was just telling them what everybody else thought.

"Well don't, tell them the truth."

"Fin. Guys I wasn't exactly a player per say-"

"Pfft! You never kissed a girl until you finally got enough courage to sk me out!" Hermione said with great satisfaction.

"Honey! Your embarrassing me I front of my sons!" Draco whined, pouting.

"Boys your father wasn't a player, I was his first girlfriend. but that is later on. Now Draco care to continue." Hermione threw an arm around her husband's shoulders. Draco was sulking.

"Fine I'll do it." Hermione sighed.
