Draco eyed Hermione as he sipped his tea. She had changed so much and he found his eyes wandering all over her body. Luckily for him Hermione was too busy avoiding his gaze to notice his leering. He chastized himself for feeling like a teenager again. He concentrated on his tea for a moment. He needed to calm himself down get his heart rate down so that he could have a sane conversation with this beautiful witch before him. Hermione kept counting numbers to distract herself from her wild thoughts. Draco was attractive to say the least and she had met attractive wizards before but she never had a reaction like the one she was having now. So the spoilt boy had become a handsome man big deal! She thought but her heart kept fluttering. She shifted a bit in her chair and quickly glanced at Malfoy. Her breath hitched as she took in his maleness. He was wearing a well fitting navy blue suit and his hair was perfectly in place. He no longer had that smirk that aggravated her so much, instead he had a calm cool look which made him look like he had total control over every situation. His radiating confidence made her feel safe and secure. She had missed that feeling. After she lost her parents especially her father Hermione had expected to feel safe living with Ron and Harry and she did feel safe for some years until their children were born. Since then she had felt as if she was the man of the house and was taking care of everything. She suddenly felt very tired and wished Ron could have done something to make her feel like he could take care of things. She sighed invountarily and looked up as she realized her mistake. Draco was looking at her with his eyebrow raised.
He however spoke before she could say anything, "Granger.....sorry Mrs. Weasley, I know this must be hard for you and I want to thank you for helping us. But before we begin I need to say something that I have wanted to say to you since the battle. I never got an opportunity to apologize to you for my bad behaviour at school. Granted we were in rival houses but that does not excuse me being a right git. I got to learn many things during and after the war. My prejudices regarding blood no longer exist. I know that even with different upbringings muggles and magical folk are similar in many ways. So please accept my apology for treating you badly in school. Your forgiveness would mean a lot to me." He waited for a few seconds before he looked up from the table where his eyes had been glued in shame while giving his apology. He found Hermione looking at him like a fish out of water. She opened and closed her mouth few times before gulping air and then clearing her throat and then nodded, "Apology accepted Mr. Malfoy. Let us not dwell on the past anymore. Since we are going to be working on this endeavour I feel that I should tell you that even though I am doing this for my children, I am happy that I will be able to give you and your wife something that you wanted for a long time. I will do my best so that this will result in a positive outcome." She smiled at him and then readjusted herself on then chair. They both looked at each other for a few seconds before they burst laughing.
They laughed for a minute before gasping for air and then calmed down but kept grinning at each other. Hermione smiled and said, "God! I felt like I was giving an interview!" Draco shook his head and replied, "I felt like I was in the headmistress's office apologising after getting caught." They both shook their heads and Draco then extended his hand as he kept aside his tea cup, "friends?" Hermione shook his hand and nodded,"friends." Draco released her hand afraid that she might notice him sweating. His palms had gone cold and her warm touch made him shiver. Hermione too was glad he let her hand go because she was shivering inside. He remained silent for a few seconds before asking in a cool tone, "So Weasley does not mind that you are doing this for me....I mean my family?"
Hermione shook her head, "No, like I said, I am doing this for my children. Rose is hoping to go to Egypt to study ancient runes and Hugo wants to study potions in Paris. I haven't been able to give them much but if I could help them make this wish come true I would feel like I did something right in my life." She smiled a bit sadly at him.
Draco's heart lurched without his permission. He looked at her and asked, "Really Hermione! You feel like you have done nothing worthwhile till now? You fought the biggest baddie of our world, defeated him, gave birth to two children, saw that they grew up to be decent human beings, you work your ass off at the ministry and now you are ready to try and give a precious baby to us...a couple who do not deserve any kindness from you... especially after the way I treated you in the past. How can you say you haven't achieved anything?"
Again Hermione remembered Amanda's words. Draco Malfoy had changed. He was not that mean kid any more. He had matured and become someone who could be her friend. She was surprised at those thoughts. She had just imagined Draco Malfoy being her friend! She smiled at him and said, "Thank you for saying that. I guess I need to be reminded about those things every few months." Draco raised his eyebrow in mock surprise and said, "well since we are now friends, I will make it my job to tell you so every few months. Be prepared to receive either a floo call or an owl from me stating all your achievements so that you will not have to feel bad about yourself." Hermione laughed and agreed to do so. She felt light at that moment. It had been years before she had sat like this with a friend or a classmate and had such an open talk about her personal life. Sure Harry and Ginny were there but they were family and if she told them she felt useless sometimes they would surely blame Ron and make a big issue out of it rather than handling it cooly like Draco did. DRACO! Since when did he become that! Wasn't he always Malfoy?
"I did not expect you to be okay with this so easily Granger....Mrs.Weasley. Sorry but can I call you Granger. It just rolls off my tongue so easily." She nodded. He continued, "Thanks... I really wasn't expecting you at all. My real worry was how would I connect with the woman who would carry our child. To tell you the truth I am so relieved that it is you who will be helping us. You don't know Granger but I have waited for this day for a long time. My wife...bless her heart....she has gone through every treatment to give me my heir. This is our last hope. I can't wait to hold my child in my arms. I can't wait to see his or her eyes open and look at me for the first time. I have had nightmares about the woman carrying our child running away and leaving us empty handed. If you do this I will give you five million gaellons after you hand me my child. I know you dont need that much money but Granger what you will be giving me is priceless to me. Now I want you to meet my wife Astoria as well. Can you meet us in Diagon alley at the Ritz cafe at six tommorrow? She will be delighted to meet you. She thinks very highly of you. If possible we can then meet our muggle healer afterwards. You can bring Weasley as well if you want." He looked at her expectantly and Hermione could simply nod. She did not want to break his heart. Right then she knew she had to do this....in fact she wanted to do this. Giving Draco his and Astoria's first child would make her feel really happy. Something that she hadn't felt for a long time. She had almost forgotten how amazing it felt to help others. Granted she was getting paid but her goal was now to make Draco's dream to hold his child come true. She was always a sucker for happy endings. She was so hooked now and when Hermione Granger decides to do something she does that no matter what! Hermione shook her head....she was in so much trouble!
