Lost and Found

Part XII

First Night

Hermione:

She knew she should have let him hear what the nurse had to say but she also knew couldn't take it again. It was hard news to hear even after so long. Not that it really mattered he could learn that later and she was sure he would ask.

When the train had finally stopped at the station Hermione had jumped up off Draco's lap, knowing full and well that the others would be rushing through the halls. She quickly realized she had not even changed into her school robes and pulled them out of her bag.

Taking no time to head to the changing area she tugged off her shirt and pants until she was down to her underwear. Draco was still stunned from the memories but when he realized she was stripping down in front of him he had no idea what to do.

Finally she pulled on the last of her clothes and grabbed up Scorpius. With him on her shoulder she felt a lot more content. He finally woke up when she went to pull on his jacket. He never liked that jacket but it was the only one she had on her right this moment.

Draco:

What she had showed him would not leave his thoughts. Well that was before she had started pulling off her clothes. Instantly he was brought back into the present times. When she had gotten dressed in her school garb he noticed his clothing.

Hermione looked at him and shook her head but she did nothing to help him at all. Instead she went to dress the baby up warmer. It didn't take him near as long as it had her.

When he had finally pulled on the last of his clothes Hermione was already gone baby and all. That was one thing they hadn't discussed was the baby.

Jumping off the train into the mass of other students was mad. They were bunched up, moving in huge groups. He pushed through them and mumbled something about being Head Boy and they needed to watch where they were going.

Little did he know someone was waiting for him at the carriages. When he arrived Hermione was standing in the harsh wind Scorpius snuggled up tight against her. Draco frowned at her and she gave him a sheepish grin.

A decent sized group of girls came running past him just moments before he reached her. They rushed up to see the baby and goggled at his beauty. But what Malfoy wouldn't be attractive?

Hermione:

Draco finally reached her and she began to rudely push the girls out of her way. The next carriage stopped in beside her. She threw the baby bag on it and tried to climb up into the seat. The girls asked to help her many times but each time she pushed them off.

Suddenly Draco stepped up and lifted her up. Hermione instantly turned red and she looked down at her feet. Draco shook his head and grabbed her chin. He forced her head up so he could look into her eyes.

She looked almost ready to cry and he couldn't have that. Hermione eyed him curiously waiting for his next move. Their lips met soft and comforting. Pain was forgotten and anger was lost. All was well.

Hermione pulled back and glanced down at the infant who was really starting to get in the way. Draco plopped down opposite of her and the carriage started to depart. He held out his arms and Hermione raised an eyebrow.

"Oh come on Hermione let me see him!"

She giggled at him and handed over the baby. "Are you going to take him during dinner or what?"

"I don't know maybe you should show him off some more," he said but she could hear the aggravation.

"Or you could come and sit with me."

"Yeah a herd of Gryffindors, what fun."

Nothing was ever good enough for him unless you bent over backwards to get it for him. "Then you had better get over it."

Draco didn't answer instead he contented himself with watching Scorpius sleep.

Draco:

Draco didn't know what to do. He wanted to mad at Hermione for standing out in the cold wind, but he also thought it was nice of her to wait on him. And then again why did he care?

Well of course he cared he really wasn't sure about why he still cared so much. Maybe he should have taken up on her offer. If only Blaise was at Hogwarts he would have someone to talk to.

That was out of the question considering how high up his father was in the Death Eater rankings. Draco shivered uncontrollably and stole a glance at Hermione. That was a bad idea.

Hermione was staring at him openly, eyes glanced over. Draco figured he could wave a hand in front of her face and she wouldn't do a thing. She was strange, but that was the only thing he was certain of.

Suddenly the carriage halted and sadly he almost lost his balance. He should have been more careful but only Hermione saw so it was of no concern. Draco grabbed her sleeve and tugged.

Hermione came to and blushed violently to which he raised an eyebrow. That didn't last long at all. A large smile cracked open his face making Hermione smile as well.

Draco repositioned Scorpius so that he had a free hand. He jumped off the carriage and offered it to her. Hermione climbed down, her feet lightly hitting the ground. Now that she was safely on the ground he went to take his hand back but Hermione never let go.

He gave her a puzzled look for a moment but decided to better himself by pulling her closer to him. It was finally time to see everyone else's faces. Better now than later.

Hermione:

Their fingers were laced together. They were so physically close Hermione began to realize her need. Girls might have better control of their sexual desires but hers were too strong. It had much to long.

Though he hadn't realized what he was doing to her as he stroked her hand with his thumb he was driving her nuts. Every movement sent waves of need up her body. If he kept this up she was going to attack him.

When they reached the Great Hall everyone turned towards them. There was no question to what they were doing. She wanted to shrink away from these people more than anything.

Draco squeezed her hand and led her towards her own table, near Harry and Ron. Harry looked very confused and Ron was fuming.

Ginny saved her big time when she jumped up and ran right up to Draco. "Awh how cute! Can I steal him for a second, Mal—I mean Draco?"

She was really nervous but at least she was being nice to him. Draco, on the other hand, didn't know what to do. They both turned to Hermione and she nodded lightly. He passed over the little buddle of clothing to Ginny.

"It's awful hot in here Ginny. Do you mind taking off his jacket?" she asked softly.

The heaviness of the situation was still there but it was lightening up nicely. Hermione turned to help Ginny tug off the little coat so that the tuft of blond hair was visible. Eyes were still on them but now many were trained on the baby.

Suddenly the large oak doors flung open and in came the first years. Draco scurried off to his own table leaving her with the baby. Hermione took her seat and shook her head watching his every move.

The sorting began and ended shortly thereafter. It seemed that as the years flew by the number of students shrank. Dumbledore gave out the latest news and then shockingly announced the arrival of Scorpius and how everyone should be mindful of the infant.

After the feast the students were lead by their prefects and the Heads were showed their rooms. Hermione instantly went to unpack just to run back five minutes later.

"What shall I do with Scorpius's things?"

Draco:

He stood blankly for a second. What should they do with that stuff? It really couldn't go in her room or he would never see him and the problem was the same the other way around. Should he really be nice and let her have it or what?

"I don't know maybe you should have him in there don't you think?"

"Yes but it's not really fair."

"So?"

"Fine but you can come and go as you please."

He nodded and watched as she turned back around, "Do you need any help?"

"Yeah sure. I can't get the bed up!"

So there they were putting up stuff and passing Scorpius around. He was amazed at how many clothes the kid had already but he had been fussed at for saying such. Draco, as Hermione had said, was learning quickly and had changed a diaper all by himself too.

When Scorpius had been rocked to sleep Draco had laid him down and stood to leave. There was nothing left to do and the last fifteen minutes had consisted of nothing but talking anyway.

Hermione grabbed his arm and looked at him. "You can stay in here if you want."

He looked at her knowing that he did want to for the baby. He had seen that desire in her eyes, the same he had felt for months. He decided to take his chance and walked over to Scorpius. He rubbed a thumb over his cheek and walked back towards Hermione.

A/N Love me hate me, what? I know it's mean but guess what I don't care! Happy Christmas people I'll write on chapter thirteen soon. Hope you didn't read it too quickly!
