Delilah's POV:
                          
Almost a whole month has passed since my beautiful Indie entered my world. I spent every second, of every day with her, cuddling her, kissing her, feeding her and changing her. She had my deep blue eyes, but Draco's pale blonde hair. Luckily, my friends hadn't noticed that she had Draco's hair, but instead believed it was my hair, even though my hair was quite a bit darker. 
                          
I had pretty much gotten used to being a mom by now and was almost able to do everything on my own, but a few things I still needed Madam Pomfrey to help me with. 
                          
Today was her one month anniversary of being alive so I was super excited for that, but it was also the day I had been dreading the most - my first day back at school after giving birth. All of the teachers were now aware that I was a new mom, and a few even came to visit me and her, so we have sorted out a little schedule for me to make it easier to juggle being a mom and a full time student at the same time. 
                          
In the mornings I will leave Indie with Madam Pomfrey to look after her whilst I've gone and then I'll arrive to lessons as usual. However, I will be given permission to leave class five minutes early so I can avoid the rush and business of the corridors and go and feed Indie. The teachers all agreed that it was probably best to not take her to lessons, not that I wanted to anyway, but I was allowed to take her to dinner with me. But, I decided against that as I still didn't want people to know I had a child and, as soon as Draco saw her, I knew that he would immediately realise that he was the father. 
                          
The best thing about it though is that the teachers decided that I didn't have to do any of the homework, but I could if I wanted to, since I'd most likely be busy looking after and being with Indie, so I was very happy about that. 
                          
Anyway, once I finished getting ready for my first day back, I picked up Indie out of her crib and into my arms, then carried her out into the infirmary to give her over to Madam Pomfrey, as I'm not sure where she wanted her. 
                          
After I said an emotional goodbye to Indie and thanked Madam Pomfrey, I went outside to meet up with Gray, who was waiting for me, and we walked over to Transfiguration together. 
                          
"How wonderful to see you again Miss Davis, welcome back", she said as Grayson and I entered. "How is-" she started to say but before she could finish I made a signal to her to try and tell her that I didn't want people to know about Indie, and luckily she saw it, so she corrected herself and said, "How are you feeling?"
                          
"I'm good thank you," I said, "it's nice to be back."
                          
"Lovely, since you're early you can take a seat next to Mr Malfoy and he can catch you up on everything we've been through whilst you were gone", she said before walking back to the front of the class. 
                          
"Professor," Grayson said, not wanting me to be stuck with Malfoy, "I'd be happy to catch her up instead."
                          
"There is no need for that now Mr Daniels, after all Mr Malfoy is top of the class and you are... not as good", she said awkwardly, trying not to sound to rude. 
                          
I sighed realising there was no point in arguing so I just went to sit down next to Draco. 
                          
"Where have you been for the past month?" was the first thing that came out of his mouth as soon as I sat down next to him. A simple 'are you okay?' would've been nice but who am I kidding, this is Draco Malfoy we're talking about. 
                          
"I could ask you the same thing," I snapped back, "This is one of the only lessons you actually show up to, and you still don't even make it to half of them."
                          
"Well I have other things to tend to", he huffed. 
                          
"And so do I", I said, making him roll his eyes. "Now, if I remember correctly, you are supposed to be catching me up on what I've missed since you are 'top of the class'".
