Disclaimer: Anything you recognize I do not own.
Okay so I finished up all my exams and finished my research paper, but now I'm sitting around waiting for tomorrow when I will move out. So, I'm bored and I decided I might as well post another chapter. However, after this I'm pretty sure I will be too busy moving and then packing for my vacation to post anymore. Then there will be a 2 week block where I probably won't post either; but hopefully I'll be inspired by Harry Potter world at Universal! Thanks for all of the reviews, alerts, and favorites :)

It was the end of another work week and Draco was preparing to leave early for the day and go pick up Scorpius when Blaise barged into his office with a wide smile on his face.
"So I've been thinking about your wet dream problem a lot this week."
"Whoa, mate, that's not right."
Blaise made a rude gesture at a grinning Draco before continuing on, "I've got a date for you tonight, and trust me when I say that you will be satisfied tonight."
"I don't want a prostitute, Blaise."
"Would I set you up with a prostitute?"
"Yes."
"Okay, so maybe once upon a time I did, but I swear that this girl is not. However, she is a very-let's say- lusty girl who likes to have a good time. She's also a big fan of yours."
Draco rolled his eyes, "Not another gold digger trying to get pregnant to extort money is it?"
"This girl has enough money of her own, she doesn't need yours." Blaise assured him.
"Okay, but there is the problem of my son. I can't just go on a date at the drop of a hat anymore, Blaise."
"Bloody hell, I've got a hot date too." Blaise sighed. "Wait! What about Granger? Her kid and Scorpius are friends right?"
Draco nodded, "Yes, but I would not feel right dropping this on her on such short notice."
"Tell her you'll owe her one, you need this tonight, Draco."
Draco gave his agreement and watched as Blaise practically skipped out of his office, convinced he had done his best mate a great favor. It was true that Draco was hankering for a lay, but he was at an age where the idea of sleeping with some random girl was not that appealing. But at this point he was desperate to keep wet dreams about Granger at bay.
So with that thought in mind he made his way to where he knew Granger would be. Sure enough he found her amidst a pile of books, scribbling away on a piece of parchment. She didn't even notice he was standing over her until he cleared his throat, startling her to attention.
"Merlin! I didn't even hear you come in." Hermione gasped, setting down her quill and holding a hand to her heart.
"Sorry about that, Granger. It wasn't my attention to scare you; I actually have a huge favor to ask of you."
He definitely had her attention now as she stared up at him curiously, wondering what Draco Malfoy was about to ask of her. Rationally she knew it couldn't be too crazy; either work or child related.
"Something has come up tonight and I have no where for Scorpius to go." He began hesitantly.
Hermione immediately knew where this was going and decided to save Draco from what was obviously uncomfortable for him to do, "I'll watch him. Rose and I were just going to have a movie night. In fact, Rose has been begging to have a sleep over with Scorpius. So, he can stay the night if you don't mind."
"A sleep over between a boy and a girl?" Draco asked curiously.
Hermione nodded, "They're young enough that it is completely innocent. Rose has a trundle bed, which is basically another bed attached to hers that he can sleep on. So, drop him off whenever and pick him up tomorrow when you can."
"Thank you, Granger, I owe you. I'll drop him off around six and get him before noon tomorrow."

Both Scorpius and Rose had been thrilled at the idea of the sleep over and as soon as Draco arrived at Hermione's with Scorpius, the two had run off to Rose's room eager to begin their night of playing. After confirming times and special night time instructions for Scorpius, Draco stepped back into the fireplace and flooed back home to get ready for his date.
All Blaise had told him was that this witch would be waiting for him at Draco's favorite restaurant with a reservation under his name. So with that in mind, Draco dressed impeccably for the French restaurant and apparated away with a shiver of anticipation.
As usual his restaurant was busy on a night like tonight. However, he was recognized immediately and led to a back corner of the restaurant where a woman was already seated at the small table. Draco did not recognize her immediately. Once the blonde stood up he recognized her as the famous chaser for Puddlemore United, Janelle Estore.
Janelle was every wizard's fantasy. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, with her long wavy blonde hair, large breasts, and big doe brown eyes, but she was a bloody fantastic Quidditch player and could get down with the best of the men out on the pitch.
"Hello Draco, Janelle Estore." She smiled, extending a hand to Draco.
Draco returned her smile and gripped her calloused hand lightly within his own. "Draco Malfoy, and let me say it is a pleasure to meet you."
"You too. Blaise has told me so much about you."
Draco laughed, "Has he? And how do you know Blaise?"
"He's been seeing my sister." Janelle replied. "He is actually out with her right now."
"It must be serious then, because I haven't heard much about her. And with Blaise that usually means he really likes the girl."
Janelle smiled, "I hope that is the case, Jackie is very taken with him."
"So tell me, what is it like playing for Puddlemore?"

It had been a tiring night with two children running around the house, each hyper and excited about spending the entire night together. Thankfully the running around had tired both of them out and once Hermione had tucked both of them in and read them a story, they were out.
It was only nine, so Hermione decided to grab a good romance and curl up in her favorite chair to read until bed time. Since Ron had died she had purposely stayed away from any story with a trace of romance in it, which mostly left her with nonfiction. However, she felt that it was time to release the bitterness that surrounded her when it came to these happily ever after love stories. She knew life wasn't like that, she always had, but for a while it had been painful to be reminded that life was not so. But now she realized that there was a reason these love stories existed, to give hope and to allow one to escape for just a little bit.
That and Hermione was ready for a smutty love scene that these cheap romances provided. Lately her libido had been back in full swing. Since Ron's death she had been able to stamp down the desire that naturally reared its head when her hormones were at a high, but now it was more than that. Now it only took the slightest things to arouse Hermione.
Today had been an embarrassing example of that, when she had been face level with Draco Malfoy's crotch. She hadn't meant to look, but as he had been asking his favor of her, her neck had started to hurt from craning her neck to see him, and naturally she had dropped her eyes and encountered his crotch. If her lust wasn't so pent up she would have looked away and thought nothing of it, but instead she had been stuck staring until she realized how indecent she was being by getting turned on by the sight of his crotch!
And now here she was, reading through the pages of this romance quickly to get to those good smutty parts. She needed release, and unfortunately it would not be at the hands of a man. Not any time soon anyway.

Dinner had been wonderful and as Draco and Janelle walked around the city Draco contemplated taking her back to his flat. However, he could not do that. His flat was also home to his son; he may not be there but there was just something wrong with that picture. And while he was incredibly attracted to Janelle, they just hadn't connected on another level that with age, Draco was starting to realize was more important than physical attraction.
"You're not going to ask me back to your flat are you?" Janelle asked suddenly.
Draco started guiltily and turned to her about to lie to her when he found he couldn't do it and instead shook his head, "No, I just can't. You are a beautiful and amazing witch, Janelle. But—"
"You don't need to explain, Draco," She interrupted, "I understand where you're coming from. You're a father, you have responsibilities, and I respect that. Just call me if you ever decide you're game for a shag."
With that said Janelle apparated away leaving Draco in shock. She certainly was out for a good time, and wasn't concerned with long term relationships like her sister was with Blaise. Years ago Draco would have already had her in his bed, but he was changed. And while he could have used the release to get his subconscious off of Granger, he could deal with the wet dreams.

Saturday November 11, 2006
Sure enough Draco woke to wet sheets and flashes of his dream from the night before. He tried to push thoughts of Hermione in that pencil skirt out of his head before flooing over there to get Scorpius. However, as soon as he saw her an image of something she had done to him the night before in his dream flashed through his mind, instantly causing him to harden. Thank Merlin he had put robes on.
Why he reacted was beyond him, Hermione was dressed in an old Gryffindor shirt and a pair of sweat pants, certainly nothing sexy like Janelle had worn the night before or even what Hermione had been wearing in his wet dream.
"It's noon, I started making them lunch and just put a movie in for them." Hermione stated when Draco said nothing and just stared at her.
"Sorry, I slept late." Draco said sheepishly finally noticing that Scorpius and Rose were sitting in front of a black box he now knew to be a Television. They appeared to be watching some sort of cartoon under the sea.
"What's a movie?" He asked recalling what Hermione had said.
"It's like a play, but not live and is recorded. The kids are watching an animated movie, which is basically a bunch of pictures which have been animated."
Draco kept staring at the TV as Hermione talked, enthralled just as the children were with the movie that was playing before them. Before he knew it, he was seated on the couch with Scorpius on his lap and Rose close at his side watching the orange fish and the blue fish look for the orange fish's son.
Hermione just grinned and finished making lunch for all of them. Draco was surprised when Hermione handed him a grilled cheese sandwich, but ate it without comment and kept on watching the movie with the children.
When the movie finally ended Draco looked over at Hermione a little guiltily, but she only smiled at him in return.
"Sorry about that Granger. How were the kids last night?"
"Energetic." She sighed. "But they wore themselves out so they slept through the night."
Draco nodded, "Well, next time it'll be my turn for the sleepover."
Hermione smiled, "I'm sure they'll look forward to that. I get to decide when it is and it can be the favor you owe me."
"Deal."

"Janelle informed me that nothing happened between you two last night. What the bloody hell is wrong with you, mate? She was a sure thing!"
Draco was glad he had just put Scorpius to bed because this was not a conversation he wanted him around for. Blaise had come charging out of the fireplace a minute ago and had immediately started laying into him about the night before.
"I couldn't do it. She understood." Draco shrugged. "Now what's this about you and her sister, Jackie? You've never mentioned her."
That seemed to shut Blaise up and even brought a blush to his dark cheeks.
"You really like this witch don't you?" Draco grinned.
"I didn't want to jinx it you wanker." Blaise growled. "But yes, I met her last month at a party and we've been out together every weekend since. It admittedly started out as sex, but it is much more than that now. Which reminds me: you'd rather continue to have wet dreams than get a shag with no attachments?"
Draco nodded, "I'm just not that guy anymore. And as long as I keep my thoughts away from the dream around Granger, I'm alright."
Blaise shook his head, "This is just disturbing. You're having wet dreams about your child's best friend's mother!"
"It's not like she's ugly or married or something!"
"Oh? So you don't think Hermione is ugly?"
"Of course not! You have even said how good she looks in those skirts and heels."
Blaise just grinned at the fluster he was working his friend up in to. This situation he was in was complicated and- he guessed- was going to get messy real soon if these wet dreams kept up.
