Taking Chances
Draco/Hermione
Chapter Two – It's all coming back to me now.
Draco walked back to Malfoy Holding's in total shock. Blaise walked beside him trying to keep Draco in a conversation but Draco could hardly say two words; all he could think about was Hermione and whether or not she was carrying his child.
As they got back to the office, Draco rushed off to his own private office. He needed to get hold of Hermione; he needed to see her but how? He didn't know where she was living now and did she even have a floo?
Draco stood in front of the floo and thought about contacting Potter. He would surely know where his best friend lived but if he went to Potter he in turn would go to Hermione. Draco picked up the green floo powder and was about to chuck it into the floor to contact Harry Potter when his father barged into his office.
'Draco, we have a problem. I need you to schedule a meeting in half an hour.' Lucius said as he looked at his son. 'Am I interrupting?' He asked as he arched an eye brow.
'No of course not.' Draco said as he put down the floo powder and turned to look at his father.
Lucius Malfoy still looked the very same way he had years ago. He still had bright blonde hair with no hint of greys and his eyes were still as cold as ever. One would think after the war the man would be a shivering wreck but not him; Lucius Malfoy was still has strong as always.
'Half an hour?' Draco questioned as he looked at his father.
'Yes, the Webster contract he's thinking of pulling out and no doubt won't pay. Make sure Blaise is there and get someone to take minutes.' Lucius said as he walked out. 'And Draco, I shall be leaving for Milan after the meeting to meet your mother, I will be back in three days make sure you don't burn down the Manor or something.'
'Of course Father.' Draco said as he rolled his eyes.
Draco had to forget about finding Hermione till this evening while he got the files ready for the meeting. He met Blaise before the meeting and the two of them went and set up.
After rushing out of the bookstore, Hermione rushed down the street to the Twins' Joke shop where Ron and George were. She quickly brushed off any questions they had and flooed back to the Burrow where she was currently living.
As soon as she stepped out of the floo at the Burrow she burst out crying which made Ginny and Molly come running into the living room.
'I saw him.' She sobbed as Molly helped Hermione sit down on the sofa. 'He was at Flourish and Blotts; he saw me. I'm sure he did.'
'It's alright my dear, you let it out. I know this must be a shock for you.' Molly said rubbing her back.
'I shouldn't have come back.' Hermione cried as she wiped her tears with the tissues Ginny was handing her.
'Don't say that Mione. You needed to come back, you were unhappy in America.' Ginny said as she touched her friend's leg. 'You need to be around your friends and family.'
'Ginny's right dear.' Molly said as she stroked Hermione's hair. 'You knew one day you'd meet Draco and as the baby's father he should know.'
'Do you think he realised?' Ginny said.
'Of course he did.' Hermione said motioning to her stomach. 'It's too hard to hide anymore, everyone notices.'
'To you it is dear.' Molly said smiling. 'You're still very small. If we were to look at you from the front we wouldn't notice at all.'
'I'm sure he noticed. He was looking at my stomach.' Hermione said quietly as she rested her hand on her small bump. 'What am I going to do?' she asked the two of them.
'First you are going to lie down for the afternoon, you've had a bit of a shock and you and the baby need to rest. Secondly we are going to have a think on what would be best for you and the baby.' Molly said.
'Okay.' Hermione said like a quiet child.
'Ginny why don't you help Hermione upstairs while I make her some green tea.' Molly said to her daughter
Ginny and Hermione walked up the stairs to the third floor where their bedrooms were. Hermione had moved into Bill's old room which was quite big. Hermione took off her ballet flat navy shoes and jacket and laid down on her bed. Ginny sat down on the edge of the bed and looked down at her older friend.
'It will be alright Hermione.' Ginny said as she smiled softly. 'Don't worry; we won't let anything happen to you and Mini-Granger.'
'Mini-Granger?' Hermione said as she smiled at Ginny.
'Yep. I've nicknamed the baby until you find out what gender it is. I'm still sure it's a girl.' Ginny said smiling.
'I'm not sure.' Hermione said as she laid on her back and rested her hand on her stomach. 'I always remember Draco saying that the first born in the Malfoy family is a boy.'
'Do you think it's a boy?' Ginny said.
'I'm not sure.' She said as she yawned.
'Get some sleep Hermione. I'll come and wake you up later.' Ginny said as she walked to the door of her friend's room and turned off the light.
After Draco's day at work, he and Blaise went back to the Manor. The house elves had prepared dinner for the two of them although Draco hardly touched his food. After the elves had taken away their food, Blaise followed Draco to the West Wing which was Draco's private wing and then into his office.
'So what are you going to do?' Blaise said as he sat down on the sofa.
'Find out where she is.' Draco said as he sat on his desk chair behind his desk.
'Why don't you send her a letter?' Blaise said.
'But I don't know where to send it.' Draco said sighing. 'If I knew that I'd go and see her.'
'Why don't you send an owl to the Weasley's house?' Blaise said. 'Tell your owl to give it to only Hermione if she's there if not come back? It's worth a try mate.'
'Okay.' Draco said as he grabbed his quill and a bit of parchment and starting writing.
An hour later, Draco gave the instructions to his owl and sent it off to the Burrow hoping Hermione was there. If she wasn't he didn't know what he'd do. He needed to find her and quickly.
Hermione woke from her sleep just before dinner; she went down to the kitchen and joined the rest of the family for dinner. Only Ginny and Ron were living at home now. Ginny would soon be marrying Harry and moving in with him at Grimmauld while Ron had just brought a flat to move into leaving only Hermione at the Burrow.
As dinner came to an end, Ginny noticed an owl knocking at the window. She got up and went to the window to take the letter but was bitten when she tried.
'Ouch! You damn bird.' Ginny said as she tried to shoo the owl.
'That's Draco's owl.' Hermione said as she looked at the owl closer. 'Artemis.'
The owl squawked at its name and then dropped the letter into Hermione's hand.
'How did he know you live here?' Ron asked from the table.
'I'm not sure.' Hermione said as she looked down at the letter. 'He probably sent Artemis here and said if I wasn't here to return.'
'So he'll know your here if the owl returns empty handed.' Ginny said.
'He's going to find me sooner or later.' Hermione said as she excused herself and walked up to her room.
