Chapter 23: Visitors

'Isn't that Potter's owl?' asked Draco curiously remembering back to when he saw that exact owl delivering messages and parcels to Harry

'Yeah, it is' said Hermione breathlessly still staring at Hedwig her eyes wide open

'Well then what are you waiting for? Open it'

With shanking hands Hermione untied the scroll form Hedwig's leg and rolled it out. She tore open the envelope and slowly unfolded the parchment that was inside. She began to read:

Hermione,

You really have a lot of explaining to do. Do you have any idea how worried Ginny, Ron and I have been? You just disappeared. I saw you last that day at Diagon Alley and Ginny and I went around to your place a week later only to find that there was this old couple living there and they said that they didn't know o f a Hermione Granger. I looked everywhere for you and then yesterday I finally decided to go and make a missing person's report and you know what they told me, that you were living at MALFOY MANOR! Malfoy Manor out of all the places in the whole freaking world. What is going on Hermione, I'm coming around there at ten o'clock today so you better have a really good excuse.

Harry

'What does it say?' asked Draco when Hermione looked up from reading.

But before she could utter a word there was a loud, violent knock at the door. Hermione jumped up from her seat at the sound and looked at the grandfather clock standing in the corner of the dining room. It read five past ten. Her heart racing, she looked from Draco to the two large oak doors that led to the entrance hall.

'Who the hell could that-'

He was cut short when Twister came running into the room, followed by a very, very angry looking Harry and an even angrier looking Ron. Ginny followed them, looking around her eyes full of interest.

'Hermione!' exclaimed Harry when he saw her, getting even angrier 'I can't believe this is actually true'

'What the fuck is going on here' roared Draco standing up looking at the three visitors 'get out of my house Potter'

'Draco shut up' said Hermione giving him a stern look

'When did you start calling him Draco, huh Hermione?' asked Ron his face red with anger

'She can call me whatever she wants Weaselbee' said Draco before Hermione could say a word

'No one was talking to you Malfoy' Ron shot back and both Harry and Draco opened their mouths to say something, their fists clenched at their sides.

'Will everyone just SHUT UP!' screamed Hermione making everyone turn to look at her. 'Draco sit down or I'll hex you' she said looking at him. Draco did so, but only because he had just gotten on to the good side of Hermione and he was not going to spoil that. 'Look Harry, Ron and Ginny' said Hermione 'I know this is a bit of a surprise-'

'A bit of a surprise' roared Harry 'Hermione have you gone completely insane or has Malfoy done something to you. We've been worried sick about you thinking that you've disappeared only to find out that you're living with our worst fucking enemy and all you can say is that it is a bit of a surprise'

'You don't understand!' screamed Hermione

'What is there to understand?' Harry yelled back

'Yeah Hermione, what haven't you told us?' asked Ron joining in

'If you just let me explain-'

'Well then do, don't just stand there'

'Don't you dare talk to my fiancée like that Potter' said Draco

At this everything turned so quite that you could hear a pin drop.

'What are you on about?' asked Harry in a very low, dangerous voice

Draco opened his mouth to say something, but Hermione cut him off. 'It's nothing Harry, it's just-'

'Look Granger, they're going to find out one day, why can't it be now?'

'Malfoy-'

'What are we going to find out Hermione?' asked Ginny speaking for the first time

Hermione didn't say anything. She just looked from her friends, to Draco, to Nick who had been watching the quarrel between the adults quietly eating his pancakes.

'Is it true Hermione?' asked Harry putting a hand on Hermione's shoulder. At this Draco looked as though he could kill someone but he didn't say anything. After a moment of staring at the floor, Hermione looked at Harry and nodded. 'So you're getting married to him?' asked Harry, letting his hand fall to his side, his eyes once again clouding with anger. Hermione just nodded again. 'When did this happen?'

'Last night' said Hermione so he could barely hear her

'Why?'

'Look Harry there is more to it than you think'

'And what may that be?' asked Harry starting to yell again 'next you'll be telling us that he's Nick's father'

'Well that's the other thing'

'WHAT?'

'Draco is Nick's father'

'WHEN DID YOU PLAN PN TELLING US THIS?' Harry yelled in Hermione's face

'As soon as I was ready' said Hermione her eyes welling up with tears

'And it took you four bloody years to tell your friends something so important'

'Look Harry, I'm sorry! I really am! I should have told you the truth from the beginning but think about it Harry, put yourself in my position-'

'Granger don't say another word' Draco said

'Malfoy you stay out of this' yelled Hermione

'NO! You can say whatever you want but just wait a second'

'What are you on about?'

Draco didn't answer; instead he looked very pointedly at Nick who was looking at Hermione a confused look upon his cute little features. Hermione's eyes widened in shock, she looked at Draco who immediately snapped his fingers making a house-elf named Sugar pop out of thin air.

'What can Sugar do for you Master' she asked in a high-pitched voice

'Sugar take Master Nick up to his bedroom and give him whatever he wants' replied Draco. So both Sugar and Nick walked out of the Dining Room leaving the adults in an awkward silence.

'Thank you' said Hermione looking at Draco, who just smirked back in return

'So you were saying Hermione' said Harry

'What?'

'About Nick'

'What about it, you know now'

'But Hermione why didn't you tell us'

'Look I just couldn't accept the fact myself, let alone tell anyone'

'But Hermione we're your friends and you're supposed to tell us stuff like this' said Ginny 'if you didn't want to tell anyone else you could have told me'

'I know' said Hermione tears actually rolling down her face now 'but it was too difficult'

'Now look what you did Potter' said Draco getting up from his seat and walking up to Hermione and draping an arm around her shoulder protectively 'you can't just come in here and make her cry'

'Like you even care Malfoy' spat Harry 'why should you give a damn about Hermione, I thought she was nothing but a filthy little Mudblood to you'

'Unlike you Potter, I have grown up and I like to deal with things in a more mature way'

At this Hermione gave a short laugh and looked at Draco, her eyebrow raised. 'Since when do you deal with things maturely?' she asked

'Yes well there are instances, especially when they involve you but other than that it's all good' replied Draco. Hermione laughed loudly making Draco smirk inwardly. Harry, Ron and Ginny watched the exchange their mouths hanging open. Was this really the Malfoy they all knew and hated?

'But Hermione, how did it happen? How did you get pregnant in the first place' asked Ron

'How do you think Weasley? Would you like us to demonstrate?' said Draco, smirking

'Shut up Malfoy!' said Hermione 'Ron, that is something that I don't plan on sharing with anyone'

'But-'

'I said no Ron, it's private'

'Whatever'

Once again there was silence in the room, the silence was loud and deafening. No one said anything they merely looked at one another, lost in their own thoughts. After a while Harry said 'well Hermione we're leaving'

'What?'

'We're leaving!'

'Are you mad at me?'

'No not mad just a bit disappointed'

'Harry-'

'Hermione you can't just expect us to understand, he's our worst enemy'

'But-'

'No Hermione! Don't think I'm mad at you because I'm not, I just need time to think and I'm pretty sure Ginny and Ron feel the same way'

Both siblings nodded. Then with a short goodbye the three of them left. Once she heard the front door shut with a loud bang, Hermione collapsed into a nearby chair and started to cry. She put her head onto the table, cradling it in her arms. Draco stood there looking at her silently not knowing what to do. In the end he just sat down on a chair beside her and patted her on the back. As soon as he did, Hermione threw her arms around him and sobbed into his shoulder. Draco, bewildered by her actions, awkwardly wrapped his arms around her shaking.

'Don't cry' he whispered into her ear, making a shiver run down her spine.

'Why did he have to do that? I thought he was my friend' sobbed Hermione, her head buried in the crook of his neck.

'He's an asshole and definitely not worth your tears'

Hermione didn't say anything, she just continued sobbing. Draco held her close, rubbing slow circles on her back. They sat there for about half an hour, just holding each other. Then finally Hermione stopped crying and looked at Draco, blushing slightly at her childish behaviour. Draco just smiled at her. Slowly their mouths drew together until they finally met into a soft kiss. But that soft kiss slowly grew more violent. It was full of passion and desire. Draco pulled away first, breathing heavily. He looked into Hermione's eyes as though asking for permission. Instead of saying anything, Hermione just kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck. Draco apparated tem both into their bedroom where he locked that door so that they would not be interrupted. They both fell onto the bed and starting pulling at each other's clothing. What Draco did to her after that was indescribable, it was so much better than the last time.

A/N: dun dun DUN! Well what do you think? I'm so bad at writing love scenes. It just isn't my thing because as most of you would have realised my speciality is FIGHTS and when it comes to love I suck like hell! So it would be nice if you guys told me how I went by reviewing oh and if you want detailed sex scenes this isn't where you'll find them this story is rated M for language and stuff but NOT sex scenes because personally I find them quite disturbing when there is TOO much detail and tend to skip the entire thing so like yeah! But anyways enough rambling…REVIEW!
