Chapter 22: Surprise Breakfast for Mummy
The next morning, Draco woke with a start as he felt something land on his stomach. He opened his eyes to see Nick grinning cheekily up at him. Draco just groaned loudly, why couldn't Nick just annoy Hermione for once. As he thought about his soon wife to be, Draco just groaned again remembering the events of last night. Why had he done that, he'd made an attempt to improve their relationship by giving her the ring and it had been pointless because he couldn't keep his stupid hormones in control.
'What is wrong Daddy' asked Nick cheerfully positioning himself so he was sitting on Draco's stomach
'It's nothing Nick' replied Draco sleepily
'Did Mummy do something to Daddy?' asked Nick, frowning slightly
What on earth, thought Draco, were they really getting that predictable? Draco grinned as he saw the look on Nick's face. He looked exactly like Hermione when she had made a mistake when making a potion at Hogwarts…what the hell was wrong with him since when did he start noticing Hermione's facial expressions?
'Daddy?'
'Sorry Nick, Daddy's just a little bit sleepy that's all' said Draco
'Did Nick wake Daddy up?' asked Nick innocently
'You did but it's no big deal, I was going to get up anyway'
'Oh, okay. Daddy can we make pancakes?'
'Pancakes?'
'Yeah so we can surprise Mummy'
'Why do you want to surprise Mummy?'
'Because it's fun'
'Oh I see, I don't think she'd be that impressed'
'Yeah, of course she will'
'But-'
'You is thinking that Mummy doesn't like you but that isn't true'
'What?'
At this Nick clapped his hands over his mouth. 'Oops' he said 'Nick wasn't meant to say that'
'What isn't true, Nick?' asked Draco curiously, wide-awake now.
' Well you see I asked Mummy why she is not liking you'
'And what did she say'
'She said she doesn't hate you it's just that you were an arrogant bastard-'
'Nick, don't you dare use language like that' whispered Draco furiously
'But that is what Mummy is saying' said Nick starting to tear up
'Okay, okay, just tell me what else she said'
'She said that if you tried you could be nice and that she'd really like to see that side of you more often'
'She said that did she?'
'Yeah'
'Well Nick, I think I've changed my mind. We'll make pancakes, but the problem is I don't know how to'
'Oh that don't matter, wait I'll be back' and with that Nick jumped of Draco's stomach and bolted out of the room. Draco watched him go a smile creeping along his lips. He laughed inwardly as he thought about the look that Hermione would have on her face when he told her what Nick had said. Just then Nick came running back into the room, holding a colourful recipe book for children. He flipped through it until he reached the page with the recipe for blueberry pancakes on it. 'See we can make these, they're Mummy's favourite' said Nick excitedly
'Okay then' said Draco getting out of bed and pulling a t-shirt over his head. He picked Nick up and carried him out of the room and down to the kitchens. Twister the house-elf greeted them cheerfully.
'How can Twister be of help to Master' he said bowing down low
'Get us all the ingredients listed on the recipe in my son's hand' said Draco looking around
'Of course Master' said Twister and took the recipe from Nick's hands and gathered all the required materials.
Draco walked over to the bench top and placed Nick down onto it. He pulled a large bowl out of the nearest cupboard. Twister came over to him his tiny arms laden with a carton of eggs, a bag of flour and a bottle of milk. He placed them neatly onto the bench top and bowed his way out of the kitchen.
'Shall we begin Nick?' asked Draco rubbing his hands together
'Uh-huh' said Nick.
So Draco began placing ingredients into the bowl while Nick stirred them with a large wooden spoon. After making the batter, Draco carefully lit the stove with his wand, placed a large frying pan onto it and melted the butter. Then he poured the batter on the pan. After a while of waiting Draco got impatient and aimed his wand at the pan and muttered a spell that he hoped would speed up the procedure. It did speed up, but not the way Draco wanted it to. At first nothing happened and then the pancake turned black and caught fire, making Nick shriek loudly. Twister came running into the kitchen and waved his hand at the pan and the fore went out. Draco looked at the house-elf apologetically and attempted again, this time without the assistance of magic.

Hermione awoke to the sound of her alarm going off. She groaned loudly as she didn't remember setting it to ring. She slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. It was only when she came out ten minutes later, did she realise that Draco was not there. Her thoughts drifted back to last night. She thought about when he proposed to her, He had been so sweet, something that was very rare for a Malfoy. It was like he had become a completely different person. He wasn't being the conceited jerk that he usually was. It was a Draco that she could definitely get used to. Then she thought about the fight. Zabini must have said something pretty harsh. But why should Draco care? Wasn't it usually him that insulted her? So why had he stuck up for her like that? She didn't mind though, she was grateful to Draco. Her mind buzzing she made her way to Nick's bedroom. Her heart jumped into her throat when she saw that he wasn't there but then thinking that he was probably with Draco she calmed down.
Hermione walked into the dining room just as Draco set down a large plate containing an enormous stack of pancakes.
'Mummy!' came Nick's voice from the doorway that led to the kitchens. He walked in carrying a large bottle of maple syrup.
'What's going on?' asked Hermione
'We is making you surprise breakfast Mummy' said Nick cheerfully
'You mean you made these?' Hermione asked looking directly at Draco 'For me?'
'Yeah as a matter of fact we did Hermione' said Draco sitting down 'now come on eat them quickly before they grow cold'
Hermione took her seat without saying anything. Why the hell had Draco started acting so…so nice? It was beginning to scare her. 'I didn't think you could make pancakes' she said as she started to eat.
'I couldn't-'
'But then, I showed Daddy the special cooking book and we both made them' said Nick cutting right across Draco
'Oh really' asked Hermione
'Yeah! And it was funny because when Daddy was making his first one he put a spell on it and it caught fire and Twister had to put it out'
Hermione burst out laughing while Draco glared at Nick, blushing madly. 'You didn't have to tell her you know Nick'. Nick just grinned cheekily and continued eating. 'Oh by the way Hermione, Nick told me something very interesting'
'What?'
'He said that you said that if I tried to be nice I could and that you'd like to see that side of me more often'
'Nick' cried Hermione 'I told you not to tell him'
'I'm sorry Mummy, it was a accident'
'Of course it was'
Draco laughed 'So it is true then, I thought he made it up'
'And why would he make up something like that'
'I honestly don't know'
'You're so weird Malfoy'
'I know'
'Why are you being so nice?'
'Isn't a guy allowed to nice to his fiancée?'
'Daddy what's a fi- fi- fiancée?'
'Nick, a fiancée is a lady that is about to get married to you'
'MUMMY YOU IS MARRYING DADDY?'
'Yes Nick, calm down' said Hermione, turning slightly pink
'But-but why?'
'What d'you mean why?' asked Draco
'Why is you getting married to Mummy?'
'Because I just am'
'But why, people that is getting married is doing yucky stuff' said Nick making both Hermione's and Draco's eyes grew as wide as dinner plates 'but Mummy and Daddy is already doing yucky stuff'
'Nick!' said both parents at the same time
'Who is teaching you all this?' asked Hermione sternly giving Draco a dark look
'But Daddy and you is doing yucky stuff, I is seeing you'
Hermione turned the colour of a tomato while Draco stared dumfounded at Nick. How was it that a kid of his age could understand stuff like that? Children these days!
'Nick I don't want to hear you talk about stuff like that, okay Nick' said Hermione looking at her son sternly
'Okay Mummy'
Hermione sighed and went back to her breakfast. Just then a snowy white owl flew into the dining hall and landed right in front of Hermione. Hermione choked on a pit of pancake when she recognised the owl and the messy letters that said "Hermione". It was a letter from Harry.
