One Night Stand [DraMione]

4: Family Outing

~ Hermione Granger ~

Erin and I have been staying at Malfoy Manor for a few days now. Malfoy has proposed that we should go out somewhere today, just the three of us. I assume that Narcissa is behind it somehow but I didn't push it when he asked. Erin wanted to go to Diagon Alley again so that's where we're going.

"Mummy! Mummy! Daddy says it's time to go!" Erin yells.

I scowl down at the outfit I have laid out on my bed. Malfoy had gotten Erin and I's thing from our flat two days ago. Now we're officially moved into Malfoy Manor. The outfit is a baby blue sundress with dark blue sandals. I change into the outfit and use a spell to tame my hair. I grab my purse and shove my wand and some money inside.

I leave my new bedroom and meet Erin in the hallway. She's wearing a emerald green sun dress and silver flats. She grabs my hand and pulls me to the foyer, where Malfoy is already standing.

He's wearing a white tank top, black jeans, and black Converse. Malfoy looks up at us and smiles.

"Ready to go?" Malfoy asks.

"Yeah" I say.

We apparate to Diagon Alley. Erin almost automatically pulls me to a store window. Inside the store is a broomstick. She'll probably be great at Quidditch, just like her father and her 'Uncle' Harry.

"Do you want to get a mini one, Erin?" Malfoy asks.

Erin looks up at me, making sure it's okay. I nod my head. If Malfoy wants to spoil Erin he can go right ahead.

"Yes please" Erin says happily.

We walk into the store and Malfoy walks up to the front desk. I browse with Erin for a minute, knowing that I have some spending money somewhere in my purse.

That's when both Harry and Ron walk into the store. They see Erin and I and make a beeline for us. Erin smiles up at her 'Uncles'.

"Hey. Hermione what are you doing here?" Ron asks, looking confused.

"I'm shopping Ron, is that okay?" I ask sarcastically.

"Mummy and Daddy are getting me a mini broom!" Erin exclaims happily.

"Daddy? Wait, her dad's here?" Harry asks.

"Yes, I am Potter" Malfoy says before I could say anything, walking over to the four of us.

Shit. Thanks a lot Malfoy, now Harry and Ron are going to hate me. Harry and Ron turn to look at Malfoy with shock on their faces. Malfoy walks over to me and lazily puts his arm around my shoulder, smirking. That bloody git! How can he do that when he knows their opinion of him?

"H-Hermione, tell us he's lying. You would never sleep with the ferret" Ron stutters.

"But I did, Ronald, and don't say such vulgar things around my daughter" I snap at my best friend.

"How could you?!" Ron yells.

"How could I what Ronald? Not sleep with you!" I yell back at him.

I feel Malfoy's arm retract from around my shoulder. He pulls Erin away from Harry, Ron, and I. I turn to see them walking to a different section of the store. Malfoy and I make eye contact and I mouth 'thank you' at him. Erin doesn't need to see this.

"No, how could you sleep with that Death Eater! And have a bloody kid with him!" Ron yells.

"Don't bring the past into this, Ron. We slept together after the war and Erin is the best thing that's ever happened to me so don't talk badly about her or so help me God" I threaten, getting threateningly close to the end of my fuse.

"The best thing that's happened to you is having a kid with a Death Eater? Now I know you're seriously fucked up" Ron scoffed.

SMACK

My hand stings from me slapping him but I don't care. No one can get away with shit talking my daughter. Especially someone she trusts and loves.

"Erin loves you like a Uncle and you're saying that type of stuff? What the hell is wrong with you?" I hiss at him.

"Whatever Hermione, go back to your Death Eater family" Ron spits, leaving the store.

Harry looks at me sympathetically.

"I'm sorry 'Mione and don't worry, I'm not going to be a complete arsehole like him. I'm assuming Ginny already knows?" Harry asks.

I simply nod my head in confirmation. Harry gives me a quick hug before leaving the store. I walk over to where Malfoy and Erin are standing. Sensing my distress, Erin lifts her arm up for a hug. I pick her up and hug her close to me.

Erin, no matter who her father might be, is the single best thing that's happened to me and I won't let anything or anyone change that.

"Do you want to go home?" Malfoy asks softly.

I nod, grateful that Malfoy isn't acting like a complete asshole. I take his hand and we apparate back to Malfoy Manor.

And here I thought that Ron was my best friend.
