A/N: Sorry for the really short chapter before. I realise now that I had promised in my first chapter that I would make the chapters longer so this chapter is my longest yet in this story. Hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Hermione cautiously opened the box and peered inside. Pulling the black fabric out of the box she saw that it was…

"A dress?! Why the hell would he give me a dress?" She pulled the rest of the dress out of the box and examined the dress. It was made of black lace with the top half having intricate swirling patterns adorning the sides. She had to admit that that ferret did have some sense of fashion.

Small chubby fingers gently fingered the dress and Scorpius chortled. "Mama." His happy mood was infectious making Hermione smile. "Yes this is Mama's dress. Do you like it?" He clapped his hands eagerly, play toy rattling loudly. He looked around astonished at the sudden sound but after discovering where the sound came from his attention fixed itself firmly on the toy.

Hermione chuckled slightly to herself. She reached for her wand in her pocket. "Expecto Patronum." A silver otter sprung from the end of her wand and danced around her. "Take a message to Ginerva Weasley. Tell her to come around as soon as possible." It stood on its hind feet and nodded then danced out of the window.

Moments later a 'pop' was heard outside. Hermione opened the door and greeted the red head. "Hey Ginny, come in." She stepped aside and allowed her in. After closing the door, Hermione found Ginny cooing at Scorpius, who evidently was happy with all the attention.

"Scorpius, you're two years old. That means that you're a big boy. Do you want a present?" Scorpius clapped his hands excitedly. Ginny smiled then summoned a large parcel wrapped with brown paper. The boy greedily grabbed the package and began to figure out how it opened.

Hermione leant down and grabbed the package leaving a very astounded Scorpius. "Mama?" he whined.

"What do you say after you get something?" A thoughtful look crossed his face then he looked at Ginny. "Ta ta." Ginny smiled warmly. "You're welcome."

Hermione returned the package back to Scorpius who began to open it. Layer after layer of brown paper drifted to the ground and the boy looked triumphant when he reached his present – a figurine of Ginny riding her broom. He shrieked loudly when it started to fly around his head.

"Thanks Ginny. You really shouldn't have."

"Well since I play for the Cannons, they give me lots of freebies."

"I suppose but thanks any way."

"No problem. Now what was so important that you had to send me a Patronus?" Hermione looked at the ground then back up to her friend.

"The usual." Ginny nodded, understanding what Hermione meant.

"Continue."

"Malfoy says that he's going to come and visit Scorpius and I just need…guidance that's all."

"What time?"

"He's coming at 5." Ginny glanced at the clock on the mantelpiece and gasped. "But that's in half an hour. Hurry up to your room. I'll choose some clothes for you. Now hurry up! Go! Go!"

Hermione hurriedly stood up and lifted Scorpius onto her hip, his eyes still following the moving figurine. Ginny ushered Hermione into the bedroom and shut the door behind her. The red head rummaged through Hermione's wardrobe looking for something suitable to wear.

"Wear this and this." She said, chucking a woollen cardigan and skinny jeans onto the bed. She turned to face the wall allowing Hermione to change quickly into her new outfit. After she was finished, Ginny sat her down on the bed and began to do her hair, tying it into a braid.

"What kind of braid is this?" asked Hermione.

"Waterfall. Don't ask me where I learnt it." After Ginny seemed happy with her work, she nodded. "Done."

Hermione eyed herself in the mirror, looking at her outfit and hair. It seemed to…fancy. "Gin, I'm having dinner with a guy whom I had a one night stand with. It looks like I'm going on a date."

"Well, you're just going to casually show the ferret what he's missing out on."

"A cardigan and skinny jeans?"

"Nope." Then she waltzed out of the room, leaving Hermione to stare after her friend. Scorpius gave a small laugh as the figurine flew quickly pass his face leaving a cool breeze in his face. Hermione chuckled then picked up the child. She gave a quick kiss to the top of his head then carried him down the stairs. A delicious smell wafted up the stairs, leading them to kitchen.

Ginny was waving her wand over various pots and pans rather like Mrs Weasley: cutlery and silverware flew dangerously past Hermione and onto the table, different foods were spooning themselves onto plates. Even though she had been taught magic, Hermione was still amazed at how much could be done just by knowing the right spells. Soon Ginny had laid the table and after a quick goodbye to both of them, she exited the door.

She turned around and stifled a gasp. On the stairs stood Draco Malfoy, smirking. Ginny strode forward at him and jabbed a finger in his chest. "You dare hurt her or Scorpius and you're dead, ferret." Then she Apparated.

Scorpius looked up to see whether the red head had returned. Instead he saw his father. His face lit and he began to smile when Draco's hair started turning dark brown. Scorpius' face turned into horror as his father turned into Astoria Greengrass.
