Sorry this one is so short, but it's better than nothing :)

None of this belongs to me. I'm just a measly college student finding ways to spend her time besides homework :)


"Severus," Draco kept his voice soft. If there was any wizard he was afraid of provoking, it was his godfather. "This isn't what it looks like."

When her husband didn't say anything, Hermione took a tentative step towards him. "Severus? Where've you been? I've been worried about you—"

"Is that what you were doing?" he spat bitterly his attention finally switching from Draco to Hermione.

"Severus, that isn't fair. You walked in and made an assumption—"

"An assumption?!" Severus' voice was loud enough to make the room shake. "I walk in here and find you in another man's arms!"

"Daddy?" a timid voice came from behind him.

Hermione huffed and pushed past Severus. "Good job, you woke her up." She picked up a protesting Essie and moved towards her bedroom.

Severus didn't move. His eyes were again locked onto Draco, who was standing as still as possible.

This is crazy, Draco thought and said as much to his Godfather.

"Crazy?" Severus hissed. "I come home to find my wife cheating on me with my godson."

"She's not cheating on you. Nothing happened," Draco growled.

"I find that hard to believe."

Draco angrily ran his fingers through his hair. They weren't going to get anywhere with Severus this angry. "Listen, I don't know what your problem is. Just shut up and let me finish!" Draco raised his voice when Severus opened his mouth. "You've never cared what Hermione did before tonight, but that's beside the point." Despite Draco's fear of the man he took the necessary steps to stand tall in front of Severus. "I love Hermione—something you know nothing about. But you know what? Your wife refused to listen to me. She's so faithful to you, even when you don't give her reason to!" Severus' face didn't show any emotion, but Draco thought he saw something flicker in his eyes. "Think about that before you go accusing her of cheating on you."

Severus didn't answer right away. Had this really happened? Did Hermione really refuse Draco because of me? He mentally berated himself. After years of practice, it was easy to lock the thoughts away. He focused on the boy in front of him again, his voice dangerously low. "I want you to leave. I don't want you to ever come here again and I never want you to go near my wife or child again." He lifted his wand before them and casually toyed with it. "Is that clear?"

"Crystal," Draco replied in the same low voice. He shoved past his godfather, but paused in the doorway and whispered, "You won't have her forever, you know? This law is going to end someday and I know for a fact 'Mione won't stay and she'll take Essie Ann with her." With that said he turned to leave and saw Hermione standing there with tears in her eyes.

Draco glanced at his godfather to see him glaring right back. "I have to go, 'Mione. I'm not sure when I'll be back."

"Draco—"

He cut her off. "Tell Essie Ann I love her and to take care of little Draco."

Hermione gave a watery laugh as Severus' mind spun. Little Draco!? What was that supposed to mean?!

"Bye, Draco." She watched him go before turning to her husband. It was her turn now.


Hope all is well:)
