A/N Thank you sooo much to everyone that reviewed my first chapter! I really don't think I'm that good at writing to be honest and I was surprised I got one review! Nice surprise to see I got a few more! I'm not into personal reviews unless people ask me questions or whatever! But thanks to everyone!

Chapter 2: Suicide is the easy way out

The last few students walked along the corridors to their living quarters. Many pairings had already been dropped off at their home for the next 3 weeks. Hermione was still sulking, she had tried putting a positive light on being paired with Malfoy and had even asked her friends to help her with optimistic thoughts.

When Hermione stood there waiting for helpful thoughts from Ron and Harry, she was asking for way too much.

Harry came up with 'Well, we could kill him, then you wouldn't have to put up with him'

And Ron simply kept muttering 'Bloody Hell'

Her girl friends on the other hand had a different point of view.

'I mean's he's quite hot if you look at him from a distance and squint' Lavender had said with a wink.

Parvati had similar thoughts. 'I mean, your sleeping in the same room as him Hermione, you'll see him in his boxers nudge nudge wink wink'

Now these thoughts should've been appealing to Hermione but she had no interest what so ever in seeing him in boxers..or even seeing him at all that entire year.

'Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger' Snape said at the front. They both trudged up to him, neither looking too overthrilled. 'Here are your living quarters'

They both walked into the room and looked around. Neither said anything to the other but they were both equally pleased. The room was extremely cosy with many big armchairs and sofas dotted around a fire. There were two doors on the opposite side of the room, Draco went to one and Hermione went to the other.

He walked into the bathroom and noticed a bath the size of a swimming pool and several tables for the 'baby'. That's when it came to him. Where was this baby they were meant to raise?

He suddenly heard a small squeal from the other room and walked casually to the doorframe of the other room and leant on it.

Hermione was standing there with a tiny baby in her arms smiling and bobbing her up and down. Malfoy rolled his eyes and continued to watch from the doorframe looking quite bored. He noticed there were two double beds, one with black covers, the other with blue, and a cot, which was decorated with pink. A girl.

Hermione smiled at the baby girl as she continued bobbing her up and down in her arms. The baby had the brightest blue eyes with some soft blond curls on her head. Malfoy moved his way further into the room but still kept his distance.

Hermione shot him a look. 'She won't bite'

He walked as casually as possible nearer to Hermione with his hands in his pockets. He pulled one hand out and softly prodded the baby in the stomach.

Hermione turned shocked towards Draco. 'Did you just poke her?'

'I wanted to see if she does anything' He said looking quite at a loss as to what to do.

'She's a baby you nitwit, she's not going to start playing tennis or speaking french' Hermione said rolling her eyes.

'Pffft' Malfoy said not really paying much attention.

'What do you want to call her?' Hermione asked raising an eyebrow.

'Well seeing as I am her father, I think...Malfoy Jr' he said smugly.

'She's a girl'

'So?'

'So, you can't call a girl Malfoy Jr'

'I'm allowed to call her what I want'

'We're both her parents'

'Please don't remind me, I'm trying to pretend this is a horrible dream'

'What about something simple like Hannah?'

'No' He said simply, knowing that whatever name Hermione suggested he would disagree with just because it was Hermione suggesting it.

'What then?' Hermione said getting angrier by the minute.

He roughly took the tiny child into his arms and looked at her as if she was an alien.

He made a face. 'Eugh!, she has your eyes'

'Name Malfoy' Hermione said sitting down on her bed irritated.

'Ella' He said without a thought as he looked into the baby's eyes.

'Fine. Ella then' Hermione said leaning back onto the pillows of her bed and looking over at Malfoy.

Malfoy then moved the baby into one arm and put his hand under her neck. Ella wrapped her fingers around one of his big fingers and let out a gurgle. Malfoy remained unmoved and walked over to Hermione and practically dropped her into Hermione's arms.

'You can't just drop a child like that Malfoy!' Hermione shouted as he walked towards the door.

'I do what I like when I like mudblood'

'Do you try and be an annoying little idiot or does it just come naturally?'

'You would do well not talking to me like that Granger'

'Why? Are you going to get your death eater of a daddy to come and kill me?' She said as if she was talking to someone dumb.

He pulled out his wand and aimed straight at Hermione's heart. 'Shut up'

Hermione's instincts kicked in and she turned around shielding Ella from the direction of Malfoy's wand.

Malfoy saw this and rolled his eyes, he put his wand back and walked out of the room in a huff.

Hermione let out a sigh. 'Well Ella, it seems your father isn't cut out to be a father at all. Do you think his fatherly instincts will kick in sometime soon?' Ella gurgled a little more. 'No I don't they will either'

Hermione took Ella down to the hall that evening where her friends were currently waiting for her. She walked in and slouched onto the wooden bench while resting Ella on her chest. She looked around and looked extremely confused. No one else had his or her babies with them. She looked to Harry who was by himself.

'Harry' She said as he turned to face her.

'Oh look how adorable she is' Harry said smiling, he pulled a face at her to try and make Ella laugh. She put out her tiny hands to his face.

'Harry' Hermione repeated. He continued ignoring her and blew a raspberry at Ella and laughed.

'Harry' She tried again getting slightly irritated at Harry who was currently clapping his hands infront of her in Hermione's arms.

'A wimba wop a wimba wop ' he started to sing to Ella 'a wimba wop a wimba wop, in the jungle, the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight'

'In the jungle!' Ron launched into song as he sat next to Hermione.

'The mighty jungle' they both sang to Ella while Hermione turned red with embarrassment as she saw Dean look her way. They stopped to catch their breath.

'You guys done with the singing?' Hermione said raising an eyebrow.

'No, there are still two more verses to go' Ron said rolling his eyes with a wink to Ella.

'Not in this song!' She said looking at them with a fake smile.

'Where's your sense of rhythm..... Or fun for that matter Hermione?' Harry said tilting his head.

'I was trying to ask you something and you started singing'

'Sorry' the boys mumbled looking down at their laps.

'Now, where are your babies? I'm the only one here with a child'

'Oh mines asleep' Harry said taking a breadstick and putting it in front of Ella's mouth. 'Hungry?'

Hermione took the break stick and put it down. 'Ron? Where's yours?'

'Sleeping, same as Harry's' He said as he looked down into the round blue eyes of the baby.

'How come Ella isn't sleeping like everyone else then?'

'Babies are different. Who came up with Ella?' Harry said now dangling a bit of carrot in front of Ella's mouth as if she were a dog.

'The one and only idiot, Malfoy' She said while snatching the carrot out of Harry's hands. 'Will you stop offering her food?'

'She looks hungry, Ron, wouldn't you say she looks hungry?'

Ron moved back a little, looked at Ella and started studying her as if she were a painting. 'I dunno Harry, what do hungry babies look like?'

'Like Ella' He stated while searching for more food to tempt her with.

Hermione decided to lighten up and smiled kindly to them both. 'You have your own babies, go torment them.'

'We are not tormenting her Hermione, we're simply being nice' Harry suddenly leaned across the table and picked up a mug of coffee. 'Oh she'll love this'

'Harry, you cannot give her caffeine'

'I was only joking' He laughed.

'Good' She said happily resting Ella on the table with her arms around her.

'How's Malfoy?' Ron asked while crunching on some breadsticks.

'Well, we haven't killed each other yet so, as best as can be expected I suppose.' She said and kissed Ella on the head.

'Oooo Hermione, don't get too attached, she's going in 3 weeks and the only way to get her back would be to sleep with Mal-'

'Don't even say it Ron! Don't even think it, erase it from your mind right now young man' Hermione shouted covering her ears.
