Give Your Heart

Chapter Two

The day had become long and grueling, the clouds were gray in color as they held the threat of rain over Diagon Alley. Kagome glanced up from her work, sending silent prayers that the rain would wait till after she left the tea shop, she greatly enjoyed doing her writing outside, and while the whether left much to be decided at present, the temperature was perfect, and the gentle breeze was enough to keep her cool but not cold, yet subtle enough that it didn't annoy her by messing with her papers.

It had been three days since she had her curious run in with the little blonde boy whose rather rude father, though handsome he may have been, hadn't even had the audacity to say thank you! Well, not that she had really given him the chance, she wasn't even sure why she was thinking about it anyways, what were the chances of her meeting either him or his son again?

"Draco~!"

Kagome turned in time to see a familiar head of light blonde duck past her and take refuge under her table. 'Pretty high chances...'

"Where did that annoying kid run off to this time!?"

It was actually kind of sad though also extremely funny to watch the Nanny pace about the alley as she looked for the same little boy who had outwitted her three days ago as well. Once the woman was out of sight, Kagome peeked under the table to see the cause of the women's frustration covering his eyes with both hands.

"Hello there, fancy meeting you again," Kagome smiled. The boy removed his hands from his eyes slowly and when he saw who it was a large grin broke out his face.

"Ka'ome"

Kagome smiled, "So you remember me, how about we pay Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor a visit? Then we can stop by and pay your father after that. Does that sound good?"

Draco looked to be thinking it over, "We can buy ice cream for Daddy?"

Kagome could hear the boy struggling with the words, she knew he was five, she had thought it was strange for a five year old to be having so much difficulty talking, but passed it off as a lack of caring on the nanny's part and a lack of attention on his fathers part, "I think thats a great idea, I'm sure he'll be thrilled." She highly doubted it.

Smiling she lead the boy down the street and to the ice cream shop. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw him looking around at everything as he pointed things out.

She didn't understand how the Nanny could lose him. He was a joy to be around.

As she entered the shop the owner smiled at her, she came in here a lot. She loved her sweets.

"Miss Higurashi! Nice to see you." His eyes moved to Draco who was clinging to her leg and looking at him with curious eyes, " And who is your little friend..."

Kagome smiled, "This is Draco..." She smiled down at Draco, "Draco, say Hello."

Draco looked up and muttered a quiet, "..'ello.." He really didn't want to talk to the strange man, but since Kagome told him to, he wouldn't mind doing it...this once.

The owner laughed, "Well met, little one. Well met." He looked back at Kagome who was smiling down at Draco, "What can I get the two of you?"

Looking at Draco she gestured for him to choose first, "Go on...pick anything you want."

Draco looked at the man for a moment, before looking at Kagome again, "...'nill..."

Blinking, Kagome laughed, "Vanilla Ice Cream..." She paused, then asked, "You want it in a cup or on a cone?"

"Cup, pwease."

Kagome nodded, "What did you want to get Daddy?" She knew that even if she did get the elder Malfoy ice cream he probably wouldn't even take it, but Draco wanted him to have ice cream, so it wouldn't hurt her to buy it.

Draco had a thoughtful look on his face, thinking hard trying to choose something his daddy would like, "...'nilla with chunks..."

Laughing Kagome looked at the owner who was watching the two with smiles, "We will get a cup of Vanilla, a cup strawberry, and Vanilla with Chocolate chunks, to go."

In a couple of seconds, two cups with spoons sticking out of the ice cream were on the counter in front of the two, There was also a paper brown bag, that Kagome knew held the elder Malfoy's ice cream.

"That will be four sickles and twelve knuts."

Kagome got her pouch of money out and put the exact change on the counter and the owner took the money. saying, "Thank you and come again!"

She picked up the cups and handed Draco his and was about to carry the bag when the little boy interrupted her,

"Carry Daddy's?" He held his free hand out for the bag. Kagome nodded, handing him the bag that contained the ice cream, "Yes, you can carry Daddys"

It was just then, the elder Malfoy came into the shop. His eyes on fire as his eyes connected to where Draco was.

'Great...' Kagome thought, as she watched the Nanny run in after that. She really didn't want to deal with them here. Looks like she wasn't going to have much choice though.

"You." Lucius said, looking her straight in the eye.
