Skin on Skin

And here she comes again…
Yep, it’s me again! (Ain’t ya all glad I’m back? ;D
Okay: Here’s the story’s next chapter. All thank you’s and answers to your reviews at the end. As well as news about the next story (Votes until now and another summary for all of them)
So, see you at the end of that doc.

I have to let this story move a bit faster, don’t I?

Chapter 11

Irgendwo auf der Welt gibt\'s ein kleines bisschen Glück,
(Somewhere in the world there’s a little bit of luck)
Und ich träum\' davon in jedem Augenblick.
(And I dream about it in every moment.)
Irgendwo auf der Welt Gibt\'s ein bisschen Seligkeit,
(Somewhere in the world there’s a little bit of bliss)
Und ich träum\' davon schon lange, lange Zeit.
(And I dream about it for a long, long time.)

-Comedian Harmonists- (Translated by me, I just hope there aren’t to much errors in it. I tried to find the English lyrics (if there are some) but couldn’t find any)


The next weeks passed by quickly. Days became colder, nights became longer, Summer turned into autumn. September turned into October. And still, they didn’t know anything about where Ron was, or what Voldemort was planning.
Madam Pomfrey had to give Ginny some medicine to get through her pregnancy without any problems, what didn’t keep her from making everyone else insane. Mrs. Weasley had almost had an heart attack when she heard about everything from Dumbledore.

Hermione and Draco were still receiving odd glances from the other students and Moonlight, the kitten was never leaving Hermione’s side if she didn’t have to. Vox was still hidden in the forbidden forest.

Besides that Everything was just like every other year. Well, almost. Halloween wouldn’t be anything special this year, because the teachers feared that Voldemort would take this date to attack Hogwarts or anything like this.
So, now, they only held a small ‘party’ for all years and ended it at 10 pm.

Hermione was laying in their bed. Yes their bed, because, when Draco and Hermione had returned after their wedding their had only been one bedroom with one large bed.
So, now Hermione was laying in this bed cuddled against Draco and slowly drifting to sleep. She didn’t even notice the slight glowing of the pendant when she sighed one last time before she was deep inside dreamland.

***********

She was walking through a forest on a foggy day, or was it night? She wasn’t sure about it. Suddenly she heard the screaming of a small child from somewhere beside her. She turned around but couldn’t see anything. But there was that crying again. She walked towards the voice and soon saw a young woman hiding under a big tree, a small baby in her arms.
Hermione walked closer to the woman who looked up at her with scared light brown eyes.
When she came closer the scared look disappeared and the woman smiled at her.

“I was wondering when you would come.” Hermione looked confused at the woman. Just then, the baby reached out and played with a necklace the woman was wearing. Hermione’s eyes widened. That was HER necklace! That was the tear of the dragon the woman had around her neck! Hermione grabbed her pendant to see if it was still there. It was, and tried desperately to calm her down.

“Who are you?” Hermione whispered.

“My name is Gwendolyn.” Hermione tried to remember any Gwendolyn’s she had ever heard of but couldn’t think of any one.
The baby cried again and Gwendolyn tried to calm him down.

“Come hear.” She whispered to Hermione and she soon sat down next to the young mother. The baby immediately was calm and looked with interest at Hermione.

“Gabriel knows you.” Gwendolyn smiled. Hermione looked asking at her.

“You are his descendant. You are MY descendant.”

“Why am I here?”

“So I can warn you! There are dark times coming and you have to be very careful. I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Gabriel reached his little hand out and stroke Hermione’s stomach. Gwendolyn smiled at Hermione. She placed her own hand on Hermione’s stomach and her smile grew.

“Yes, Gabriel. It will be a very strong child.”

“Ch…child?!?” Hermione’s eyes widened.

“Yes, dear, child. You are pregnant. But I thought you would already know?” Hermione shook her head. To weak and to confused to say something. Pregnant? But she hadn’t even finished school yet! And Draco…OH MERLIN what would he say? And….

Hermione was back in the forest with her thought when she heard voices. Gwendolyn looked worried in all directions before she arose.

“I have to go. Ie toe to make sure that they won’t get him.” She said looking down at her son.

“I wish you all the best dear. And who knows, maybe we will see each other again…”

**********

“Mya…Mya.” Hermione groaned and turned around in the bed, not wanting to wake up yet.

Then she felt Draco kiss her neck gently and opened one eye lazily.

“You better have a good reason to wake me up!” She pouted at him.

“Is the fact that it is already eleven o’clock enough reason for you?” Hermione sat up immediately and her eyes widened.

“It’s already so late?! Why didn’t you wake me sooner?!”

“Mya, calm down, we don’t have classes today.” But Hermione was out of the bed in an instant and took the first pieces of clothes that fell into her hands.

“Where are you going?”

“I…I have to see Madam Pomfrey.” Draco stood in front of her and placed his finger under her chin moving her face up so that his eyes locked with hers.

“Are you okay? Why do you have to see her? Mya…”

“I’m okay, really. But I have to go now. I’ll tell you later…” With that she was out of the headboy/girl dormitories.
“…If there will be anything to tell you.” She thought when she made her way towards the hospital wing.

~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~


Madam Pomfrey shook her head while she watched Hermione walking out of the hospital wing. What a year! Already two girls pregnant!

“Oh Merlin, I don’t want to know what’s going to happen next!”

~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~

Hermione walked back to the headboy/girl dormitories with mixed feelings. She wasn’t at all sure what Draco would say to this.

She walked around a corner and bumped into someone sending her to the floor.

“Watch where you…” Hermione swallowed. She knew this voice. And for maybe the first time of her life she was scared by this voice. She looked up into his eyes. Green locked with dark brown. And for a moment, it was like nothing had changed. But in the next moment it was gone. Whatever there had been in his eyes was gone. Harry turned around and walked in the opposite direction, not looking back at Hermione who was still laying on the floor. She let out the breath which she had held unnoticed by herself the whole time. Her hand reached for her neck and then she first noticed that the necklace hadn’t showed any reactions at all.
What was this all about?

“Mya?” She looked behind her and saw Damon standing there looking asking at his sister.

“What are you doing on the floor? Are you alright?” He kneed down next to her and looked concerned at her.

“I’m alright Damon. Really.” Damon helped his sister up.

“Are you sure? You look really pale.” Hermione smiled up at her brother.

“Yes, I’m sure.” She kissed Damon on his cheek and walked towards her room.

~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~

Draco sat on the couch waiting for Hermione to return.
When she stepped through the portrait hole he arose and looked asking at her. Hermione smiled weakly back at him. Her stomach felt tight suddenly. She bit her lip and gathered all the courage she had to walk over to her husband.

“What’s the matter?” Draco asked worried.

“Maybe you should sit down first…” Draco eyed her suspicious and sat down next to her, taking her hand in his.

“Mya…?”

“I’m pregnant!” Hermione whispered as fast as she could, then she closed her eyes and awaited whatever would happen now. She felt Draco raise his hands to her face and placed both hands gently on her cheeks. He forced her to look at her and told her to open her eyes.
Hermione did so slowly and was met with the biggest smile she had ever seen. She was just about to open her mouth and say something when Draco kissed her passionately. He pulled her closer to him, pulling her to sit on his lap and Hermione laid here head on his shoulder and sighed happily.

“I love you Mya!” Draco whispered and leaned back against the backrest of the couch

“I love you…”

I know, it’s short, it has not much action and it’s not really good. But I just thought I should update today. I still have the weekend to write some more before school starts again, that’s why I’m updating today. Hope you weren’t to disappointed.

Anon(2x), Raija, Saxy, stacey, nc kat2002, Draco_lover#1, Jamie, Fiery Slut, Schuyler(2x), Pixie, tom4ever, Gilthoniel, and chery thank you for reviewing!!!

Schuyler:
I wanted to make it clear, that Hermione has found in Draco the perfect partner.In most stories it is this: he kisses her: WOW That’s the guy! Okay, I have to admit it has some reality (At least in my experience, for my first boyfriend with whom it went a bit farther was anything but a good kisser in my opinion and it turned out that he was an asshole, then once, I was kissed by my best friend. He IS a good kisser, but there was something missing. He could have as well just shook my hand and it would have felt the same to me.

Fiery Slut:
Indecent Proposal? If it is the movie I think it is I’ve never seen it. Only the preview on TV. Where this woman and this guy were kissing and starting a bit more on a chair in an office. Wasn’t it with Demi Moore? Or is this another movie???

Okay, last time I gave you the summary’s of the plot for your decision, this time I’ll give you another art of summary: Some dialogues I just came up with, but these will be used in the fics. For each pairing in the fic one dialogue. If some of them are longer that doesn’t have to mean anything. (for example: story 1 has a real long dialogue between Ron and Herm, that doesn’t mean that I know exactly what shall happen in this story. To be true, I haven’t thought much about them yet.) ;p
But that shall not keep you from your voting

1. An Immoral Offer:
Pairings:
Hermione/Ron; Hermione/Draco

“Mione, you know you don’t have to do this? I mean, You really DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS!!!”
“No, Ron, you’re wrong. Because I would do ANYTHING to keep you alive.”
“It’s no guarantee that I will stay alive after the operation!”
“But it’s guaranteed that you WILL die WITHOUT that operation!” Hermione sighed.
“Mione…”
“Ron, you don’t think about that nonsense that Trelawney told you in seventh year?!” Ron only shrugged.
“She was right sometimes…”
”How often? Tw Ron Ron that is absolutely nonsense! How the hell should I sit with three kids somewhere in five years?!? YOU should know that this is impossible! And please let’s stop arguing. I don’t want to leave with us being angry at each other!” Ron reached for Hermione’s hand and pulled her close to him. Kissing her gently on the lips.
“It is possible. It just means that you’re with someone else…” He whispered when Hermione closed the door behind her…
~~~~~~~
“Hermione I love you!” Hermione looked at him and snored.
“What would someone like YOU know about love?!” She stormed out of the room as fast as she could with her pregnancy and was almost at the doors when she heard him muttering behind her.
“That Weasley must have loved you, because he died for you!” Hermione turned around angrily.
“What shall this mean???”…

2. Secrets of the Past:
Hermione/Draco; Oliver/Desideria/Marcus; Secret/secret

“You and me, Hermione are the most wanted as well as the most despisirstirst semesters here!” Hermione raised her eyebrows at him, feeling the looks of the other students locked at the two of them. Draco leaned back in his seat opposite from her and shrugged.
“Every guy wants you, and every girl wants to be you! And the same goes for me.” Hermione couldn’t stop a grin when she heard his words and had to ask him
“So, every guy wants the both of us and all the girls want to be the two of us? Wow, I’d never guess THAT!” Draco narrowed his eyes at her while he leaned closer to her face again…
~~~~~~
“If you’d knew the whole truth about her, you would leave her in less than a second. So better stay away from her now, so you won’t have to leave her some day later”
“Oh yeah, Flint? And you happen to know how?”
“I know her for my whole life, Wood!”
“That’s impossible, she lived in Italy!” Flint just raised his eyebrows and grinned.
“Yeah, sure!”…
~~~~~~
“This is all that is left of my parents. My mother gave this letter to my grandma, so, she could give them to me one day.” Hermione looked at the bundle of letters in Desideria’s hands which were hold together by a dark green ribbon.
“So, ain’t there any sign about your father?”
“No, he never signed them with his name. Only with “I’ll always love you, yours P.” Nothing else” Hermione looked at the letter which Desideria had taken out of the bundle. It must have been the last letter since the date was 29. May, 1978. But who could be P?…

3. We’ve got tonight:
Hermione/Harry; Hermione/Draco

“Hermione Sophie Granger. I know I have been an asshole yesterday anbeg beg you on my knees to take me back. And maybe…” He took a small box out of his pocket.
“Maybe make me the happiest man alive and marry me?”
“Oh my god… YES” Harry arose and pulled Hermione in a passionate kiss…
~~~~~~~~~
“Long time not seen…” Hermione felt shivers going down her spine when she heard that voice behind her. She had never expected to see him ever again. She swallowed hard and turned around to face him. Oh god how could anyone look so…She couldn’t find a word in her head to describe what she wanted to say.
“Draco…” He smiled down at her. Not grinned but smiled. A somewhat sad smile when he took her hand in his and bent his head down to kiss her. The touch of his lips on her skin made the memories floating back into her mind and she had to bit her lips so she wouldn’t sigh out his name.
“I heard you are...engaged. Congratulation.” Hermione smiled and looked down, not able to meet his gaze.
“It shouldn’t make me wonder though, Potter always get the best out of everything. Why shouldn’t he get the only woman that is almost perfect?” Hermione’s head snapped up. Had he really said that? Almost perfect? And what should this ‘almost’ mean?
“Almost?” She couldn’t stop herself from asking. Draco leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear.
“Unless you’re name is Hermione Sophie Malfoy you aren’t perfect!” He kissed her earlobe softly and nodded once more before he left her alone…

4. The Femina Liquidus Potion
Pairings: AJ/SS(rape) AJ/FW, AJ/RL, AJ/MF*, AJ/OW*; HG/SS (rape), HG/SB, HG/HP, HG/RW, and of course HG/DM*.
*this ones will be written about, the others I’m not sure, maybe just mentioned

“I wanted you since you first walked into the great hall! I was watching you for the last six years! And that lets me know that you won’t ever be mine! And that makes the previous night even more precious to me. Thank you Angel.” Angelina looked confused at him when he sat on the edge of the bed, only wearing his pants. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
“Go to Wood. If you sleep with him, the potion will wear off.”
“Why…?”
“The only antidote is to sleep with the one man you love, and that loves you back.” Angelina raised her eyebrows.
“What makes you think that Oliver loves me?” She asked, unsure why she asked a question that bothered her since…well, she couldn’t even remember how long, to an enemy. But then, she had also slept with him last night, so what could this question hurt?
“As I said, I watched you since you entered the great hall. And I hated Wood since you first smiled at him. Just believe me…” He arose from the bed and took his shirt and his robe from the floor pulling them on while walking to the door.
“Marcus…thank you” hly sly shrugged without turning around and walked out of the room. Outside he leaned against the wall and slid down slowly.
“Damn you Wood!”…
~~~~~~~~~
“Ang, What’s up with you lately? I mean, Since almost a month you’re acting real strange! You concentrate on nothing lately. Not even Quidditch.” Angelina swallowed and bit her lip while she was standing on the Quidditch pitch with Oliver.
“McGonagall had already asked me if we were training too much because you would only sit in classes and be dreaming…Angel, please, if something’s bothering you, if you need something, tell me.” Angelina looked up into his brown eyes and sighed. And just then Oliver did the worst thing of all. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
“Angel…” The only thing she could do to get this over, all of this was moving closer to him. “I need you!” She whispered when her lips met his. And only after seconds, Oliver kissed her back…
~~~~~~~~~~
(To be true, I haven’t thought of how Draco and Hermione would fall in love in this one, so I don’t have any conversation in mind yet, as soon as I have one I’ll write it down.)

5. Sequel to Skin on Skin :
Pairing: Hermione/Draco
No conversation up in mind yetuld uld only end in spoilers for SoS)
