Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING
A/N: I really don\'t like this chapter. But i\'ve written and re-written it so many times this is the best i could come up with!
Sorry!
Draco ran a hand through his platinum hair, clearing his throat he began to speak. He had already had dealings with Blaise and knew exactly how to deal with him.
“I have an important favour to ask of you, but it will require secrecy on your part, how much will it cost me for you to keep quiet?”
Blaise thought it over in his head. He was very smart and extremely practical.
“Depends.” He said simply. “You tell me what you want done and I’ll put a price on it for you and for my discretion, 10 galleons will suffice”
Draco rolled his eyes and sighed, there were no such thing as friends in the Slytherin house, associates yes, but real friends? No. Slytherins were too cunning for that. He reached into his robe pocket and retrieved the money handing it to Blaise who checked it carefully before giving a slight nod.
Draco didn’t want to give too much away, Blaise was a wily creature and not entirely trustworthy. He decided to stick to revealing the bare minimum for now.
“Blaise, I need you to follow Granger for me, maybe even become friends with her? I need to know what makes her tick, she would never let me close, and I need you to appeal to her softer side for me. I’m in dire need of her co-operation”
“Any reason why that is?” Asked Zabini in a bored drawl. “Does the prince of Slytherin have a crush on a know-it-all Gryffindor?”
A slow flush appeared on Draco’s neck
“I’m not paying for you to ask questions Zabini! Will you do it or not? Because I’m not going to waste my time with you all day!”
Blaise smiled slyly, whatever had gotten Draco so aggravated must be very important, worthy of a high price, Blaise would get his moneys worth out of this deal.
“Temper, temper Draco, yes I’ll do as you ask, for 70 galleons.”
“What!” Draco fumed, “you’d better be worth it Blaise” he growled handing over the money.
Blaise looked at the money in his hand and ginned wolfishly, waving a very confused Draco out of the room with a lazy flick of his hand.
Hermione opened her eyes and blinked slightly, she sat up suddenly remembering everything that had transpired previously between herself and Draco. And gods! She was pregnant.
She ran her hands gingerly over the slight swell of her abdomen blinking back the tears. What would her mother think? What about Harry? What about Ron?!?!
She groaned, and stood up, there was only one wizard she trusted enough to seek help from. Albus Dumbledore.
A few minutes later she arrived at Dumbledore’s office, she stood nervously before the stone gargoyle, being Head Girl she was informed of the password at all times.
Hermione cleared her throat nervously.
“Fizzing Whizbee’s”
Suddenly the Gargoyle sprang into life jumping aside to let her pass. She walked up the marble staircase into a large office and saw Dumbledore sat behind a large desk, fiddling with a clear dish of yellow sweets.
He looked up at her suddenly and Hermione felt a rush of unease course through her body.
“Welcome! I’ve been expecting you Miss Granger. Sherbet Lemon?\"
Dumbledore smiled at her benevolently a twinkle dancing in his icy blue eyes.
“Uh…expecting me sir?”
“Yes Miss Granger expecting you! Now is there anything you want to share with me?”
Hermione cleared her throat, the old coot knew!
“I um…Sir I’m pregnant.”
“Well how lovely!” Dumbledore clapped his hands, “Congratulations! I assume the father is pleased?”
Hermione was speechless; this was not how she expected him to react at all!
“Oh…I…I’m not really sure.”
“I see and do you wish to tell me who the father is?”
Hermione’s heart leapt in her chest, she would be so humiliated if anyone found out who the father was, at least for now anyway.
“No...I mean I think he should decide when he wants to tell people.”
“Very well Miss Granger. Oh and don’t worry you’ll still be able to stay at Hogwarts and complete your NEWTS, and yes I do indeed know of a concealing spell to hide your pregnancy from your class mates however I’m afraid all those who know about the pregnancy will be able to see through the charm.”
Hermione frowned, her brow furrowing in confusion, how on earth had he known her concerns without her having said anything! But Dumbledore didn’t give her time to think this over for much longer and quickly whisked her away to the infirmary.
Draco had left the Slytherin dungeons feeling much better than he had when he\'d enetered, now it was up to Blaise to do all the hard work for him. He had made it back to the main corridor when he saw Hermione walking with Dumbledore at such a pace that neither of them notcied him. Draco\'s curiosity got the better of him and he followed them through the hallways towards the infirimary.
“Lie down Miss Granger, that’s it dear right there” Madame Pomfrey was all of a flutter; she had never had to deal with a pregnancy before, emergency contraception potions yes, but never a pregnancy.
“Right dear!” she said running her wand over Hermione’s stomach, “We shall soon see what gender your baby is! Won’t that be lovely?”
Hermione smiled gently, for the first time she was feeling vaguely excited about the prospect of having a baby.
“Yes” she said, “Yes it will.”
No-one seemed to notice the Silver eyes peering at them through the glass in the door, listening intently to every word that was being said.
