Lullabies [d.m&h.g]

4 [Ginny Speaks]

Ginny

"Please." he pleaded. "What do you want me to do? Get on my knees? I'll do it!"

I rolled my eyes, "Get ahold of yourself Malfoy. You act like she got obliviated or something."

He crossed his arms, his green eyes peering into mine. "Can you please just- here. I'll buy you anything you want, or I'll- I'll get you 100 galleons right now, god knows how much you Weasley's need it... But-"

"What's in it for you?"

"You have to tell me everything I want to know."

Draco

I found myself holding two overfoamed Fire Whiskies in my hand. I set it on the table, sliding one to Ginny.

She accepts it with a smile and takes a big chug. "Bloody hell, I needed that."

"I wonder why."

She shook her head, "well? Ask your 100 galleons worth."

Draco pondered for a moment, what did he need to know?

"Well, how tall is er, Rose is it?"

Ginny found herself laughing like a lunatic. "You haven't seen Hermione in two years and you ask how tall your daughter is?"

Your daughter.

Ginny covered her mouth, "Well, if you must know. She's pretty big for a two year old. She's around 2 and a half feet tall. She can speak, and walk and she's such an amazing and smart girl."

Draco felt his smile falter, he had missed so much in his daughter's life, how was he going to make up all of it?

"Now I want to hear about you," Draco said, "How's Harry and, and..."

"Ron, well. Harry and I are engaged to be married, Ron well- Ron is still looking seeing as Hermione went to you and all."

"Is Hermione, well? No one holds grudges right?"

"Draco, Harry and Ron have been sour with her for two years."

"Oh." 

"Anyway," Ginny says, folding her arms over her chest. "She's been going through financial problems, along with support so if you're just here to run out on her again I advise you to just back off."

"I would never, what I did was a mistake."

"Mm." Ginny said, "It's getting late. Take care of the bill and owl me my money."

And with that, the red head was gone.

Draco put his head in his hands and minutes later, pulled out a couple of sickles and threw it on the table. He exited The Three Broomsticks and apparted back to the mansion.

He opened his eyes and he was in the foyer. Draco pulled off his boots and set them aside for the house elves to take care of. 

"Draco, back from Gringott's so soon?" he heard. 

Narcissa Malfoy towered over the staircase and eyed her son suspiciously. 

"I didn't go." 

"Oh, you didn't?" Narcissa asked, "Where did you end up?"

"I saw the Weasel girl on the way and I stopped to buy her a drink." 

Narcissa lifted her brow, "Right. Well, your father and I have a guest waiting for you in the dining room. Perhaps you get ready upstairs and come down to meet her?"

"Erm.. yeah I have nothing going on. I would fancy a nap but-"

"Don't keep your father and I waiting then." Narcissa cut in. She carried on down the long hallway. 

Draco could hear his father's rare laugh echo throughout the manor along with his mother's coos. 

Who could be in the house? 

Draco had gone up to his room and entered his en suite. He stripped off his wet clothes and replaced them with a nice suit. He ran his fingers through his hair, and was seemingly lazy to gel or comb it through. 

Draco was quite surprised when he found out whom the guest was. She had wild curly hair and was holding a little baby. 

It was Hermione Granger. 

AN: Sorry for the long process of updating! I write a little bit of the chapter each day and I know it's short but I will keep on increasing the length of my chapters in a shorter amount of time. Finals are coming up but I will make sure I have time for this story! Make sure you read Use Her!
