Chapter 3-Flourish & Blotts

Hermione apparated into Diagon Alley holding Nick tightly in her arms but as soon as they got there he literally flew out of Hermione's hands and into the nearest shop: Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. Hermione chuckled softly and followed him inside.

The shop was full of the usual crowd of hyperactive people looking at the displays of all the Weasley products. Hermione had to admit the twins had developed their store pretty well and now they earned thousands.

Hermione found Nick standing near a display of large boxes that read 'Prankster'.

'Mummy what are these?' he asked jumping up and down

'I don't know dear' she replied 'maybe…'

'These, Nick m'boy, are the latest kits for playing every single practical joke known to the Wizarding World. It's just a thing a young prankster like you needs.'

Hermione turned around to find a beaming Fred standing behind her. She hugged him and turned back around facing Nick.

'I don't think you need one of those' she said

'But mummy' whined Nick

'Look, on the box it says '8 years and up' you're only half that age'

'OK. Then can I have one of them?' he said pointing to the cage containing Pygmy Puffs

'OK dear, Ginny had one, it wasn't harmful or anything'

Ten minutes later they were walking out of the shop with Nick holding his new fluffy green Pygmy Puff that he'd named Squeak. As they made their way down the busy street Nick said 'can we go to the book store?'

'Yeah sure but why?' asked Hermione

'Coz we should get more bedtime stories coz we've already read the ones I have too many times'

'Yes OK' said Hermione as she made her way to the bookstore holding Nick's hand tightly. As soon as they stepped into the shop, Hermione saw two familiar faces.

'Harry, Ginny' she said hugging them both 'it's so good to see you'

'Good to see you too 'Mione' said Ginny

As the old friends talked merrily about recent events none of them noticed Nick walk to the back of the store. About fifteen minutes later Harry and Ginny left the shop and it was only then did Hermione realise that Nick was missing. She began panicking as she looked around the whole store for him. She didn't find him.

She walked down the aisle looking around frantically when she bumped into someone and fell backwards.

'Watch where you're going Mudblood' said a cold voice from on top of her. She looked up to see Draco Malfoy staring down at her. Her heart suddenly stopped when she saw that he was holding Nick. 'They look so perfect' said a voice in the back of her mind 'just like it was always supposed to be' Hermione shook the thoughts out of her head and stood up.

'Mummy' cried Nick as Hermione brushed dust of her

'This is your mummy' said Draco his eyes growing as wide as galleons. Then he smirked 'yuck, who the hell in their right mind would sleep with you, they must've been drugged or something'

Hermione's mind began racing as he said this. He couldn't possibly know she thought to herself. Then Hermione lifted Nick out of Malfoy's arms and started walking away but Malfoy followed her.

'So who's his father, huh Granger? Is it Weasley? Potter? Pity he looks like neither of you. Or did you adopt him Granger? That's it isn't it? You were too lonely in life so you decided to adopt a kid seeing as you could never have one yourself'

At the moment it was taking all of Hermione's self control to resist the urge of slapping him across the face. She just kept walking until she reached the kid's section. She picked up a book full of bedtime stories and held it up to Nick.

'Is this ok?' she asked. Nick nodded and she turned around to walk to the counter but Malfoy was blocking her way. She rolled her eyes 'Get out of the way Malfoy' she said

'You know what Granger he reminds me of someone' he said as though he hadn't heard her 'but I can't put my finger on it'

How thick can you get, thought Hermione, couldn't he see it, hadn't he looked in a mirror lately or something.

'Just get out of the way Malfoy' she said sighing

'Not until you tell me who his father is' he drawled

'FINE' she yelled causing a few people to look at them.

'Well?'

'You're the bloody father'

Malfoy scoffed 'Yeah you wish Granger. Ha! I'm the father. I wouldn't ever sleep with you, you're only saying it coz you fancy me or something'

'Believe it or not, it's true'

'How can it be? I don't ever remember…'

'You wouldn't remember. Them baboons you called friends drugged the potato chips and you thought I was Parkinson'

'Prove it'

'Fine come to my house at eight tonight and I'll show you'

'Show me what exactly'

'My memory of that night'

'Whatever Granger'

With that he turned on his heel and walked away and Hermione went to pay for the book.

A/N: dat's all for now ppls. I'm really tired. So if you want more review cuz if I don't get reviews I aint gonna update! ;) cyas all. O I decided to include a little sneak preview:

Malfoy pushed Hermione up against the wall, causing her to whimper 'I'm giving you the choice of either coming to live with me at the mansion or never seeing Nick ever again…'

So Until Nxt Time
