A/N: Hey everyone! How's life? WOW 300 reviews I'm so happy! Many of you asked me to make Draco nicer and for him and Hermione to get along the answer is: NOT YET! Why? Because it isn't like Draco is a very nice person and it would take a lot of effort for Hermione to turn him nice so yeah! Anyway one of them is obviously in love with the other one but I am not going to say who because there would be no point in me continuing the story but what I will tell you is that the person's feelings will not be revealed yet…ok that is enough said by me, now on with the story.
Chapter 17: Mamma's Boy
Hermione pulled off her clothes as the water slowly filled up into the bath. She could kill Draco Malfoy right now. How dare he think he was a better parent than her when he'd only known his son for like a month? If he was doing anything, he was spoiling him, something Hermione had spent four years trying to desperately avoid. A thought crossed her mind and she smirked triumphantly as she stepped into the lukewarm water of the bath. She put her head back and relaxed, thoughts of Nick pestering Draco crossed her mind and she smirked once again.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Draco stood there staring at the door Hermione had just shut. She couldn't just leave him. Stupid Mudblood bitch! Oh well it wasn't like Nick will be waking up anytime soon-
'MUMMY' came a high-pitched cry from down the corridor; he'd spoken to soon.
'Fuck!' Draco cursed to himself silently as he walked down to Nick's bedroom. He saw his son sitting on the bed, big fat tears rolling down his pale, spotted face. 'What is it Nick?' asked Draco sitting on the bed next to him, placing am arm across his shoulders.
'I want Mummy' replied Nick calming down a little.
'Why would you want Mummy, when you've got me? Hey?' said Draco grinning at Nick but immediately stopped when Nick stuck out his bottom lip, crossed his tiny arms over his chest and looked up at him his eyebrows furrowed.
'No! I want Mummy' he said huffing.
'Well Mummy can't be here right n-'
'WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?'
'Whoa! Whoa! Calm down mate, she's only in the bath-'
'Before Draco could do or say anything, Nick jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. Draco quickly followed. He found Nick in his bedroom fiddling with the bathroom doorknob. It was obviously locked so instead Nick began pounding on it with his tiny fists yelling 'MUMMY! MUMMY!'
'Draco' called Hermione calmly from in side the bathroom 'could you please see what Nick wants'
'What do you want Nick?' asked Draco trying to pick Nick up but as soon as he did he began kicking and thrashing so Draco put him down quickly.
'I want Mummy!'
'Well what is it that Mummy can give you that I can't?'
'Something'
'And what exactly is "something"?'
Instead of replying Nick sank to his knees in front of the door and began sobbing again. Hermione chose this moment to make an entrance. She pulled open the door and when she saw Nick crying on the floor she looked sharply at Draco before saying 'What did you do?'
'I didn't do anything, why do I get blamed for everything?'
'Oh shut up Malfoy' and with that Hermione scooped Nick up into her arms. Nick sobbed into her shoulder and whispered:
'Daddy being mean!'
'Oh really' said Hermione in mock surprise 'Daddy was being mean was he?'
'WHAT?' said Draco sitting up on the bed where he had just collapsed a second ago
'And what exactly did Daddy do Nick?' asked Hermione smirking to herself in a very Draco-like manner.
'He wouldn't tell me where you is' replied Nick looking at Draco with big blue accusing eyes.
'Oh he's such a Mamma's Boy' said Draco falling back onto the bed again.
'Yeah, well it isn't like he's got much of a father to like'
'What's that supposed to mean?'
'Well he's obviously more used to me being around, seeing as you weren't always there for him'
'And whose fault was that? I didn't even know I had a son, thanks to someone, how the hell am I meant to be there for him?'
'I couldn't exactly tell you now could I?'
'And why not?'
'Because you would have probably made me get an abortion'
'How do you know that?'
'Because it's you Malfoy'
'Well then you don't know me very well do you?'
'Thank God!'
While they had been rambling on, neither Draco nor Hermione realised that Nick had fallen asleep once again. His head rested on Hermione's shoulder and his thumb stuck in his mouth. His platinum blonde hair fell onto his closed eyes, which were usually so full of emotion. After what seemed like an eternity of glaring at each other, Draco finally looked away to see why Nick was so silent all of a sudden.
'Granger look'
'What?'
'He's asleep again'
'Oh! That potion must be taking quite an effect on him. Malfoy can you take him to his room, I need to brush my hair'
'Why would I do that?'
'Please don't start Malfoy, I'm not in the mood'
'Then just go put him to bed yourself'
Instead of taking Nick to his own bedroom, Hermione gently tucked Nick into bed next to Draco who was watching her, his eyebrows raised. Hermione ignored him and picked up her hairbrush and raked it through the bush she referred to as hair. Draco watched her for a while and then looked down at Nick. He slowly reached a hand up to his forehead and stroked it gently, brushing back the baby fine locks of hair. Though he'd never admit it to anyone, Nick had become his biggest weakness. Sure there were times when he got on his nerves, just the way Granger did but it was those times that made him love him even more.
'What are you doing Malfoy' Hermione's curious voice broke Draco's train of thought
'Anything I want to be Granger' replied Draco as he continued stroking Nick's forehead.
'I never thought I'd say this Malfoy but you actually look human for once'
'I'll take that as a compliment, even though I know it wasn't meant to be'
'Whatever Malfoy'
A/N: there we go people I think that'll do for now, it's like 1:30 in the morning and I have to go to school before 8 tomorrow because it's early start so yeah I thought I'd get this on but I promise I'll update soon but in the mean time REVIEW! I'd be happy I got 15 more! I now I got more than that last time because you guys rock but 15 is my aim once again.
