Hermione Voldemort's Daughter

Chapter 31: The Aftermath

"Draco!"

"And if that trout gets eaten for dinner, Drakie's gonna buy you west Berliner, and if Drakie doesn't know what that is, Drakie's gonna buy you a pop quiz, and if that pop quiz is too hard, Drakie's gonna buy you the national guard, and if their guns are too sharp, Drakie's gonna buy you a golden harp, and if that golden harp don't play, Drakie's gonna buy you a lump of clay, and if that clay is too mouldy, Drakie's gonna talk to Voldy, and if Voldy gives Drakie a sickle, Drakie's gonna buy you a sticker,"

"Draco that doesn't rhyme..."

"And if that sticker won't stick, Drakie's gonna do a magic trick, and if that magic trick goes wrong, Drakie's gonna buy you King Kong, and if King Kong doesn't exist, Drakie's gonna show you the wizard rock twist, and if it doesn't load on Youtube, Drakie's gonna buy you a Rubix cube, and if nobody can work out the puzzle, Drakie's gonna buy you a dog muzzle, and if that muzzle can't contain, Drakie's gonna buy you a steam train, and if that train doesn't go choo choo, Drakie's gonna buy you a horse shoe, and if that horse shoe runs out of luck, Drakie's gonna buy you a delivery truck, and if that truck does not deliver, Drakie's gonna buy you a potato skinner, and if that skinner gets dirty, Drakie's gonna buy you a Christmas tree, and if there's no presents in the morning-"

"Draco I told Ginny we found Phia.' Blaise walked into the clearing, "what happened to the Hufflepuff?" I burst into tears again.

"Oh thanks a lot Blaise I only just got her to stop crying a second ago!" Draco sighed, "Hush little Phia don't you cry, Drakie's gonna buy you a white tie-"

"Please don't do it again," I said between sobs.

"Are you saying I can't sing?" asked Draco indignantly.

"Yes." Blaise answered and I giggled, "Hey Sophia knock knock!"

"Whose there?" I asked.

"To." Blaise continued.

"To who?" I asked.

"To whom, surely." He grinned. I giggled.

"Okay, I have one!" Draco smirked, "Who is the biggest wife in the USA?"

"Who?" I questioned,

"Mississippi!" he howled with laughter.

"Okay my turn!" I smiled, "What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?"

"I KNOW THIS ONE!" shouted Blaise, "FROSTBITE!" we all chuckled, "Okay enough with the corny jokes. It's the middle of the night, and you should be in bed." I nodded and got up.

"But what about..." I wondered, trying not to say his name.

"I'll take him up to Dumbledore's office," Blaise smiled half-heartedly, "It won't seem too promising for me, but what can I do."

"I want to help." I told him.

"No," Draco disagreed, "You need to go to bed."

"But-" I protested.

"Do I have to carry you up there?" Draco threatened. I looked at him.

"Carry me," I agreed. He shrugged.

"Alright then," he replied and picked me up like we had just gotten married. I snuggled into his chest and shut my eyes. His warm breath on my neck and the rythemetic beats of his feet on the ground were enough to make me slip into a dreamless sleep. What I thought to be five seconds later I heard Draco whisper to me.

"Wake up, Phia. We're here." I slowly opened my eyes and Draco gently set me on the floor. I was immediately attacked by a hug.

"Phia I'm so glad you're safe when Harry came back and you didn't I got really worried what happened?" Ginny babbled.
