Not so Normal Life in a Normal World

Chapter Two

Draco let it slip his mind, he was running form a pair of magical individuals like himself, because Hermione Granger appeared before him. "Please, just leave me alone." Draco said, stopping his movements on the run back to the place he had called him for two years. She didn't say a word, just held out his wallet. His wallet! He must of dropped it when he got bumped into. Draco reached out and slowly removed it from her hand. He tucked the wallet back in his pocket. "Please, come finish your drink. His gone and I rather not be alone this evening." She said, hardly above a whisper. "I'm certain you have others to spend your evening with, Granger." Draco replied, but the young woman before him, looked awful. Her face red form crying and tears looked light they might fall again. She shrugged her shoulders. "Very...well." Draco said, uncomfortable.

Draco joined the young woman at the table that the bartender was picking the remainder of the prices up. "Your boyfriend isn't to set foot in this building, until this table as been paid for!" He said, a bit hateful the woman, before he hurried back to their back room, with the broken part of the table. So, the pair sat at half a table as she gathered her small handbag.
Draco just studied the woman, who ordered herself another drink and requested Draco's drink be brought over to them. She tucked her messy brown hair back behind her ear the best she could, and pulled out a small hand mirror. Once his mother had started keeping with her in that car of their she managed to buy with one of her checks. Hermione felt the uncomfortable eyes on her, and offered him a light smiled, even if she just wanted to cry. Draco, wondered what the Weasley done to make her cry. Should he ask.

The bartender sat the drinks down, in a bit of a better mood, turning to Draco. "You have a call." He said. "Just let her know I'm still here, and she should really go to bed by now." Draco said softly, taking his shot of vodka. "The woman worries about you, son. She was glowing last I saw. Has she delivery? Of course, that really isn't my business." He said rather quickly and Draco raised an eyebrow. "She's married, Matthew. I wouldn't be studying her." Draco said, taking his shot. "But yes." Draco answered the question, before Matthew turned his attention to Hermione. "I don't care who covers the cost, but he isn't welcomed here until it's covered. Otherwise, try and make the best out of the rest of your evening." Matthew said, before he returned to the bar.

"I...happened to see the picture. It was opened, however...I assumed the infant was yours." Hermione admitted and Draco let out a sigh, easing back into the Booth the pair sat in. "Violet was born right before my twentieth birthday. My father...Once we got settled I guess, thought, I guess, it might be good for them. We don't really hold any conversations. He kept himself occupied with other things." Draco said. "Was everything alright? Your mother, like most of ours, aren't exactly the youngest to be having children." She said softly. "Her doctor kept a closer watched on the once she was about 30 weeks. She ended up having to have...I forgot the name of the operation....for information it isn't my place to share, but she was well, Violet is a healthy baby girl too." Draco said and Hermione gave a light smiled.

Matthew walked over a little before four. "Last call, you two." He said and Draco pulled out the bank card. Just combine the tabs, well finish up." Draco said. "Wait-" Hermione started to say. "No trouble." Draco said.

The pair stood outside the bar. "I didn't see keys." She said. "I walk. Mum's drives, but only if she has to." Draco said softly. "Do you want a ride? It's rather late." She said. "Answer the question I asked before. Who was he yelling at? You swore it wasn't you." Draco said, turning to face the woman again. "Because it wasn't. It...was Harry. It's not my place to share either..." She said and Draco let out a sigh. "Very well. I'll walk...but thank you." Draco said. "... breakfast is starting at someplaces." She said. "Are you not wanting to go home or something?" Draco asked. "I rather not, but...spending the time alone is also something I rather not." She said. "I really...should get home, Granger. You...can come if you wish." Draco said, turning to walk away. "Wouldn't something be said?" She asked, knowing this was likely a bad idea, but she didn't want to go back to the apartment she shared with her boyfriend, Ron, and Best friend, Harry, until the pair had worked out what was going on between them...or at least got past the, throwing punches at once another. She hated they were fighting so much, and nothing she seemed to say helped.

Ron disliked Harry coming out as Gay, after his relationship with Ginny fell to pieces after Ginny was found out to have an abortion. Harry was completely devastated and her whole family had a lot of things to say about the actions she took to an unwanted pregnancy to Harry. Harry the evening before she was to go to that appointment, had begged her not to go through with it. He'd take the baby and raise it alone, but like any other man, had no say when it came to a woman having an abortion in the muggle world. Ginny, hadn't been around in weeks.  Ron understood Harry's hate of the young woman, but disliked Harry coming out as Gay and almost every single day broke into another fight about it. Or the partners Harry brought home to toy with for the evening.
