Chapter nine
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
A/N SORRY I haven’t updated sooner! I’ve been soooo busy. Increased work hours, College enrolment and trips to the doctors. Not been fun :(
Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, and sorry nothing much happens but this pretty much sets up for the next chapter which I promise will be a longer one!
Hermione gently placed the paper in the box, a soft smile still playing on her lips. Returning it to its home under her mattress she walked into her common room settling in front of the fire.
Draco was miserable. He marched through the corridors with a vicious scowl plastered on his face. He growled forcing his way through a gaggle of chattering firs years, his insides churning at the possibility of seeing Granger in their common room. He knew had to face her at some point he had no choice, Professor Snape had been very adamant that the Head boy and girl work together on the project, a show of unity indeed! Draco\'s scowl deepened and he clenched the envelope he had been given tighter in his hand. Damn him! Draco had been carefully avoiding Hermione for a long time now, still embarrassed about his outburst all those months ago.
He walked to their portrait and spat the password at it; he didn’t even wait for the portrait to fully swing open before he stepped in.
Hermione was sat with her back towards him facing the fire, the glow of the flames causing her hair to shimmer in the light. He could see that she was stroking her stomach lovingly and quashed a sudden urge to smile.
Suddenly she turned to face him, she opened her mouth to speak when she winced suddenly clutching her stomach.
Draco’s heart began to beat hard in his chest. No!
“Hermione!”
He ran over to her dropping the letter from professor Snape fall unceremoniously to the floor.
“Are you okay? Is it the babies? Speak to me!” He shook her roughly by the shoulders not knowing what else to do.
She almost laughed at his horror-struck expression but she forced it down.
“They’re just kicking”
She smiled at him, a warm, happy, genuine smile that instantly lit up her face.
“Here.” She said reaching out for his hand and placing it on her stomach.
Draco’s hand pressed firmly onto the warmth of her stomach, he hardly dared to breath for fear of hurting the life inside.
Then he felt it, a slight pressure against the palm of his hand. His eyes widened in surprise and his mouth split into a wide goofy grin.
“Oh wow!” He exclaimed forgetting himself “Did you feel that? Well um of course you did! But I mean…wow…”
Hermione smiled despite herself he really could be quite endearing when he dropped his icy demeanour.
Draco suddenly became aware of how close he was to Granger, his hand was still resting on her abdomen and he quickly ripped it away.
Draco was appalled with himself, he had let himself become vulnerable again! And he hated it.
He cleared his throat and, much to Hermione’s dismay, his face had resumed its normal distinctly indifferent cold appearance.
“Anyway” He drawled “I only came here because Professor Snape wants us to work on a project together, everyone in the our class has to do it, but Snape thinks that head boy and girl should work together to promote house unity” he said the last word with as much scorn as he could muster and sneered at her.
“Oh.” Hermione murmured quietly. “I see, so what are we making.”
Draco stood up to retrieve the envelope that he had dropped earlier; he opened it and began to read aloud.
\"Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy.
You, along with the rest of your peers have been assigned a potion of which the effects are a mystery.
Your job is to brew the potions and report any effects to me during next week’s lesson.
If you brew the potion properly then there should not be any fatal or painful reactions.
Enclosed is a list of ingredients, you will begin your potion during tomorrow’s lesson. Don’t be late
Professor Snape.
PS Miss Granger, every pair in the class has received a SEPARATE potion so please let Longbottom and Weasley fail on their own!\"
Meanwhile, in his study Snape allowed himself a rare smile, his elbows were resting on the desk and his fingers were pressed together in front of him, he was deep in thought, now all he had to do was wait.
Let it never be said that Slytherins aren\'t devious.
Severus Snape was no exception.
