Last time:

"Is the baby deformed?" Pansy asked with a sneer, observing the picture in Draco's hand. Draco snapped out of his slight daze and smiled "My son is perfect, he is a Malfoy after all." and the couple walked out, leaving a very angry Pansy in their wake.

Now:

"Did you see her face" Hermione laughed "Her expression was priceless."

Draco laughed at her odd sense of humor.

"Sometimes I think you should have been sorted into slytherin." He said as he wrapped his arm around her.

"So what do you have planned for the rest of the day?" Draco asked

"I've got to meet up with Harry for lunch and get some furniture for my place, I don't want to bring a baby home to a place that has hardly anything in it – I want to make it a home, not just a place to live."

Draco smiled "Why not just move into the manor with me?" Hermione shook her head, "It's too big and I want a place I can make my own, a place where I can put my touches on it." she paused, "I'm sure the manor is great, but the furniture is already there, its probably already decorated and I really just want a place where I can do most of that stuff."

"I understand what your saying, no hard feelings." he said smiling at her, but she was unaware of a plan already forming in his head.

"Well I better be off, I'm meeting Harry in an hour."

"Alright, I'll probably stop by tonight to check up on you." he said while leaning down to give her a kiss. They parted with Hermione heading to meet Harry and Draco going to the manor, he and Blaise had some work to do.

"Hi Harry" she said sitting down in the little booth across from him.

"Hey, how'd the appointment go?"

"It was fine, Draco got to see the baby via ultrasound – I believe he was quite taken with what he saw."

Harry sighed, "So I guess your both really getting along then?"

"He's really trying Harry, Today he even admitted it to Pansy without hesitation."

Harry nodded "I would still like to take care of the baby, but if Draco's going to keep doing good – I see no reason to deny him."

"Thanks Harry, for taking this so well."

"Thats what friends are for Hermione, you know that."

Meanwhile back at Malfoy Manor

"Look you can see everything Blaise" holding up the picture of the baby.

"Wow, it actually looks like a baby this time." Blaise said smiling

"So Draco, what did you call me over for? your note sounded urgent."

"I asked Hermione to move into the manor with me – but she turned me down."

"Why the hell would she do that? Most woman will kill to be in this house."

"Not Hermione, she wants a place to call her own, a place where she can set it up like she wants and thats where I need your help."

"Alright, what do I need to do?"

"I need you to go house shopping with me, I want to get her a house that she can set up for her and the baby. She's already 28 weeks along so it doesn't give us much time."

"Well then lets go" Blaise said with a smile

The two men searched for hours, they looked at twenty houses, but something didn't seem right with any of them. The houses were either too small or too big, some didn't have a yard for a child to play, some needed a lot of work while others just didn't seem right.

"Alright Blaise, we have two houses left to look at – hopefully one of them will be what I'm looking for." he said in an exhausted voice.

They apparated to the address for the second to last one. The house looked great from the outside and Draco hoped it was just as good inside. The house was a two story house, advertised as having five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large back yard.

"The outside could use a little color, but thats something easily fixed" Draco said as they walked to the door. Blaise opened the door and the men walked in, taking in the sight around them. The floors were light hardwood, that looked to have been recently sanded and re stained. They walked into what would be a living room, both men instantly noticed the large bay window with a seat underneath, surrounded by a wall of built in book shelves. The walls were a light beige color with white crown moldings around the ceiling. The room was fairy decent size and had a large black fireplace with a nice sized mantle.

"Well, so far, so good" Blaise said as Draco nodded.

"I think the kitchen is this way" Draco pointed past the stairs that were located in front of the front door. They walked passed the stairs and into a large kitchen, "Wow, bigger then I expected" Blaise said as he looked around. The kitchen had white tile covering the floors and counter tops, new appliances and an Island in the middle for preparing meals. There was a large window over the sink, where Hermione could see out to the back yard and the kitchen also had plenty of cabinet space. Blaise noticed a door going off the kitchen, "Whats that room?" he asked,

"Don't know, but lets find out." Draco said, getting excited at the house so far. They opened the door to what appeared to be a study, the walls were completely covered with built in book shelves and a small fire place in the corner.

"I'm impressed" Blaise said, looking at the room, "She may actually have trouble filling up all the book shelves." Draco couldn't help but laugh at that.

The continued to explore the down stairs, finding a back door leading to the outside, a small bathroom and a storage closet under the stairs. So far they liked it.

They made their way upstairs to explored the bedrooms, The master bedroom was very large with a master bath, easily able to be decorated how ever she wanted. The rest of the rooms were perfect size for kids rooms or an office, what ever she wanted to do with them. The main bathroom also a good size, having a large tub, storage closet for towels and such, and a double sink.

Draco looked to Blaise, "I think this is the one, as long as the back yard checks out, I think we've found what were looking for." Blaise nodded in agreement and they made their way outside to the back yard.

The yard was huge, plenty of space for a swing set, lots of tree's for climbing and most of all the grass was like a blanket of green soft carpet. The yard sealed the deal for him and he left to make an offer on the house.
