Chapter 12

The next morning found a very confused little boy as he sat on the enormous bed and contemplated on the two peacefully sleeping beings, also know as his mum and dad. This was something he had never seen in his entire life but it was something he had hoped would come soon.

He stared at his mum who had her head on his dad's chest whilst his dad had his arms protectively around her. They both had small smiles on their faces and the boy couldn't help smiling himself.

For Aidan Granger, Christmas had come early.

He sat there and watched as the sun streamed in, watched as two birds flew at the window, pecked at each other and then flew off again. He watched as his dad murmured in his sleep. And after another ten minutes, he was beginning to get bored and running out of things to look at.

He looked back at his parents and the thought of them peaceful was becoming slightly irritating. Why should they be sleeping whilst he was becoming more and more bored. And just to entertain himself, Aidan did the first thing that came into his mind.

Slowly, he crawled in the small amount of space between them, jumped and shouted, "IT'S MORNING!!!!"

"Whahhh!"

Hermione and Draco shot up in fright and screamed, their eyes wide, Draco even had his hands up.

Hermione blinked the sleep away and stared a her son, and then at Draco and his hands. She shook her head in disbelief.

"What is wrong with you? What you going to do, Kung fu him?" Draco quickly dropped his hands and just stared at Aidan, a questioning look on his face.

"I was bored!" Aidan said, shrugging his shoulders. Hermione shook her head again and a ran her hand through her hair.

"So you scare the life out of me!"

"Us!" Draco interrupted and received a glare from Hermione.

"But you've been asleep for such a long time," he emphasised on the word long, stretching his short arms as wide as they could get.

Draco laughed and grabbed Aidan by the waist and pulled him down and began tickling him. "Long time huh buddy? Well this is what you get!" He shouted above Aidans squeals and Hermione's laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" And he grabbed her too and straddled her and began tickling her all over. Aidan joined in.

"Nooo! Get off! Get off!" Hermione screamed.

"Get her!" Draco shouted to Aidan.

"Get him!" Hermione shouted at Aidan.

Aidan was stuck between the two and after a moment, decided to side with his mother and jumped on his dads back, his arms around his neck.

The three rolled around in fits of laughter and squeals, the bed sheets tangled around them. Minutes later they were all out of breath as they lay on the bed, with Aidan between them.

Aidan looked at his parents as they cuddled him and couldn't help but grinning.

"This is the best day of my life. Can we stay like this, please?" He asked them, his eyes full of hope.

Hermione looked at Draco and he looked at her. They lay there, staring at each other until Draco smiled and broke eye contact.

"Always, I promise. Now go and brush your teeth and we'll have breakfast. Everything's in that bathroom," Draco pointed towards the door on his left. Aidan grinned again and happily jumped off the bed and disappeared behind the door.

Neither of them said anything as they lay there for several seconds in silence. Finally Hermione spoke, "Did you mean it?" She didn't look at him but began fiddling with her fingers.

Draco covered her fingers with his hand and squeezed. "You know I did. I'll always be there for you no matter what Hermione," he scooted closer and kissed her forehead and held her tight.

"Thank you Draco, for everything. You always did manage too help me forget the bad things," she smiled against his chest.

"Always, now why don't you both get ready and I'll take you out for breakfast? And then we can go by the hospital and sort some of the paperwork,"

"Okay, Guess I should start making funeral preparations!" Hermione frowned and tried not to let the memories flood back.

"After breakfast," Draco slowly pushed Hermione out of bed and watched as she joined Aidan in the bathroom.

Aidan was right, this is the best day of my life too!

Draco was reading the Daily Prophet downstairs when Blaise apparated in front of him, looking dishevelled.

"Hey Draco, what happened to you last night? I got to Ginny's party and they told me you proposed and got rejected!" He let out a low whistle.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

"And now Granger's missing! I got a letter from a very frantic potter who said that she left during the party with Aidan and hasn't returned home." Blaise stared down at him as if he knew that Draco was behind the whole mess.

"Her father passed away last night,"

"So do you know where she is know?"

But before Draco could reply, Blaise's answer walked down the stairs, Aidan in tow.

"Of course you do, it would be stupid to even THINK that you'd know nothing!" Blaise growled under his breath. Draco just chuckled.

"Hey, Blaise," she smiled.

"Alright Granger,' he grinned back showing his impeccable white teeth. His eyes landed on Aidan who had gone and sat next to Draco, gawping at the moving pictures in the Prophet. "And this must be Aidan,' he knelt beside the boy who looked at Blaise curiously, 'Your dad's talked a lot about you!" Blaise ruffled his hair.

Aidan grinned, "He's talked about you too. You're uncle Blaise aren't you?"

"Yeah I am, what has Draco said about me?" Draco readied himself for the compliments but what came out of the little guys mouth was the last thing he expected.

"That you fancy aunt Sara," Aidan giggled and so did Hermione and Draco whilst Blaise blushed.

"Damn you Malfoy!' Blaise glared at Draco and vowed to get even. "Well since you like listening to stories, I've got one for you. Do you know the ferret story?" Blaise smirked evilly, Hermione giggled harder and Draco's eyes turned wide.

"You mean THE ferret story?" Aidan asked in excitement. Blaise nodded like a child.

"Don't you dare!!" Draco threw his paper and glared daringly at Blaise.

"In our fourth year at Hogwarts," he began smirking.

"Don't!"

"Your dad thought it would be clever to fire a spell at your uncle Harry when his back was turned," Aidan's eye went wide.

"I'm warning you Zabini!"

"But he was caught by one of the professors, who turned your dad into a ferret and shoved him down one of our school friends pants!"

Apart from Draco they all burst out laughing, Blaise hid behind Hermione as Draco lunged for him.

"You're dead Zabini!" Hermione and Aidan watched as Draco chased after Blaise around the whole room.

"Oi,' Blaise shouted as he stopped running and stood at one end of the sofa, with Draco on the other side, "The kid was desperate to know, you can't deny him. Especially not with that face!" He winked at Aidan who instantly made an innocent face, with round puppy eyes, and a sad frown.

"You've been lucky, this time!" Draco sat down next to Aidan, out of breath.

"Thank you uncle Blaise, I've been waiting so long for this story. No one would tell me because I think they were scared of dad!" Aidan said knowingly.

"I'm glad someone told him the story, he's always asking."

"You called me uncle?"

"They're scared of me? Who?"

They all asked at the same time. Aidan stared at them one by one and shook his head. "Honestly!" He looked at them as if they were the children and he was the adult. They, in turn looked at each other and began laughing, hysterically.

"Urgh! All this laughing is making me hungry!" Blaise muttered in between fits of laughter.

"That reminds me, we were on our way out for breakfast before you showed your ugly mug!"

"Yes! Let's go, uncle Blaise you come too!" He shouted and grabbed onto Blaise's hand and began dragging him out of the door.

"Sorry love birds, looks like I'm going to be intruding on your love nest!" He smirked and walked out of the door with Aidan.

Hermione blushed and went after them followed by Draco who just smiled.

"Pancakes!"

"Pancakes it is," they were all sitting on chocolate coloured leather seats at a round table, at Millie's café. The place wasn't very busy, apart from the odd one or two people.

"Hey guys, how you doing?" She looked curiously at Hermione and smiled at Draco and Blaise.

"Hey Millie, could we get a stack of pancakes for this dude here and some orange juice,' Blaise flashed his sexy smile and Hermione couldn't help the look on Millie's face.

Leaning over towards Draco, she whispered, "I think she has a thing for Zabini!" Draco smirked.

"So Blaise,' Millie began after she wrote their order down, 'Rude of you not to introduce!"

"Oh sorry. This is Hermione, and that charming monkey is Aidan,' Blaise introduced them and Aidan waved.

"My son,' Millie nearly dropped her pen and pad. Wow! Pansy never mentioned this particular detail!

"Oh! Pansy never mentioned you had a son,"

"That's because she doesn't know!" Draco said and gave Millie the 'Make sure it stays that way' look.

"Right!' Millie coughed awkwardly, 'Let me go and get your food,' and glad to be away from the uncomfortable silence that hung in the air, she walked back to the kitchen, located behind the counter.

"What is the deal with you and Parkinson?" Hermione asked Draco as she watched Blaise and Aidan follow Millie to have a look at toppings.

But before Draco could straighten out the mess, Millie popped her head out from behind the door and called out to Draco.

"Oi Draco! Pansy's been trying to get a hold of you, she wants to see you. Something to do with your wedding details, the location I think. Anyway find her, she keeps bugging me!" And with that she disappeared again.

"Right! Well that clears things up,' Hermione looked at Draco in disbelief. Just when she thought the day was getting better.
