Chapter Six - Had A Bad Day...Make that weeks



Hermione's eyes fluttered at the sound of beeping; slowly she turned towards the sound. She moaned slamming her hand on the button to stop the offending noise. She rose from the bed with a yawn and walked to the bathroom to get ready for the day.



Wiping the steam with her hands Hermione looked at herself, everyone says when you become pregnant you look different. She shook her head not seeing it.



Hermione turned her head left and than right, "Where's the glow?" she asked of the pregnancy myths.



Hermione grabbed her toothbrush giving her teeth good brushing, seconds later she spat out the water rinsing her mouth of toothpaste. She groaned looking at Malfoy's stuff on the sink.



'He's worse than a bloody girl!' she thought with irritation.



Hermione shook her head at the various beauty products and gels.



"He doesn't slick his hair back anymore why he would need it?" She mused.



Hermione turned wiping her face on the towel hanging on the rack and left to grab her things. She wanted to push what she had learned last night out of her mind; push it as far as possible. She could not deny it anymore the script had confirmed it. Now it was time for her to move on and think of the future.



She had gotten ready half an hour before breakfast would be served. She walked to the kitchen grabbing a carton of chocolate milk and a bag of chocolate kisses. She was thankful Malfoy was still sleeping.



Hermione stood looking at Malfoy's door wondering how this could have happened. Out of all the bloody wizards to have an anonymous one-night stand with, it had to be Malfoy.



She remembered that night, her parents had told her to go out and let loose. They were worried she was isolating herself from everyone. They gave her some money and let her for one night have no curfew. Without her parents, knowing she went to a wizard club and had a time. She danced, drank, she felt free knowing no one would recognize her, she performed a glamour spell on her hair and eyes. She turned her brown eyes blue and brown hair blonde.



There she met a gorgeous guy at the club, he rather reminded her of Malfoy and right than and there she decided to indulge in her deepest fantasy. They agreed no names it would be anonymous. They danced and ended up shagging at a near by hotel.



Nothing could have prepared her for waking up in the middle of the night and turning to see that it was in fact Malfoy laying next to her naked fast asleep. At first, she thought it was a dream he could not have been the wizard she was with. However she quickly realized it was not a dream but reality.



She understood just as she had he worn a glamour charm. She quickly grabbed her clothes and left before he could wake.



She never told anyone, and now she was pregnant by the evil ferret. She could not tell anyone, not with his family, there was no bloody way they would accept the child. Hermione sighed pulling herself from her train of thought walking out of the dorm.



0000000000



Walking around Hogwarts took time these days. Even only three weeks into her pregnancy it still was hell, fatigue was kicking her ass. She'd owled her Mum asking if this was normal her Mum had assured it was. So now, she not only had to worry about nausea, now she had to deal with fatigue too.



She finally reached her destination. She walked into the great hall smiling when she spotted her friends. Hermione slid into the seat next to Ginny popping a kiss into her mouth.



Ron frowned around his food asking, "Hermione is that all you are eating?"



"I'm not hungry," Hermione said around her kiss.



She had her days when she was pig out hungry and days she ate things she was craving. Today was a craving day.



Ron grinned shaking his head at Hermione as she drank a few gulps of her chocolate milk.



Ginny leaned into Hermione whispering so only her friend could hear, "When are you going to your doctor's appointment?"



"Tomorrow I have to go to the muggle world to do it," Hermione whispered.



Ginny wondered, "Dumbledore is letting you go, how did you do that?"



"My parents told the Headmaster I needed to take care of something in the muggle world; it'll only take a day."



Hermione popped another kiss in her mouth. Ron watched Hermione eat another kiss he was annoyed at his friend. Chocolate milk and kisses is not healthy.



"That's it! You have to eat more than that Hermione," said Ron.



Lavender glared at her boyfriend questioning, "Why are you so concerned about her eating habits?"



Ron shook his head he did not want to get into a row with her today.



"Look, could you just eat something Mione please?" Ron begged.



Hermione rolled her eyes grabbing a banana she peeled it shoving the whole fruit into her mouth.



"There," Hermione said with her mouth full, "I have eaten, can you please shut up now?"



Hermione chewed the best she could with a mouth full of a sticky substance.



Ron’s cheeks turned pink when she had shoved the huge banana in her mouth. He had no doubt the rest of the boys was thinking the same thing he was.



Sitting across from her Dean Thomas gave his lips a lick as he watched Hermione eat the fruit. He could not resist as he teased, "You take that entire banana Mione. Take it deep."



The boys burst out laughing at Hermione's blush.



Dean Thomas laughed with the rest of Gryffindor house.



Hermione was not laughing; she knew her face was pink from humiliation.



"Shut up Dean," she snapped.



He snorted trying to calm himself he apologized to Hermione for the dirty joke.



Hermione rose to her feet when she felt nausea hitting.



She looked at her friends smiling, "I need to go to the library I'll see you all later."



She rushed out the door, when she finally reached the outside of the Great Hall Hermione sprinted barely making it to the loo, she threw open one of the stalls and threw up her food.



Leaning her head over the bowl she groaned, she hated when something did not agree with her she could not wait until this part was over.



Hermione stood up wiping her lips with the back of her hand. With a shaky hand, she flushed the toilet.



Hermione opened the door to her shock Pansy Parkinson stood there with a smirk on her face. Leaning her thin frame against the sink.



Hermione glared at the girl who is known as they Princess of Slytherin. If Malfoy is the leader of the Slytherin boys, Pansy is the ringer leader of the Slytherin girls.



Hermione flushed knowing the Slytherin was standing there a good amount of time as she puked up her breakfast.



The Slytherin un-nerved Hermione she just stood there with a smile on her pug-like face. Even with a smile on her face it did not make her look kinder.



Pansy tapped her fingers on hip as she spoke, "So who's the father Potty or Weasel?" Pansy asked with mirth.



"I do not know what you are talking about," Hermione said as she turned on the faucet, scooping a good amount of water into her mouth giving her mouth a good rinse.



"You don't have to pretend Draco told me," Pansy chuckled at Granger's shocked expression. Pansy swiped her jet black hair out of her eyes. Her bangs were no longer eye-length they fell two inches past her dark eyes.



Hermione gasped, "Does everyone in Slytherin know?"



Pansy quirked her brow at the fact Granger had just admitted she was indeed pregnant.



"No just Goyle, Crabbe, Zabini and I," Pansy said in a matter of fact voice.



"Well I hope you are all having a great laugh," Hermione turned to walk out but stopped when Pansy asked her a question.



"Why did you not just end the pregnancy?"



Hermione glared "Because despite everything this baby is mine, I made the baby and just because the father would not want anything to do with it, I still want it."



Pansy's eyes went wide at the information "You mean you have not told the father. That's not right Granger."



Hermione glared at the black haired girl, "It is none of your business Parkinson." Hermione pushed out her way out the door hearing Pansy's words.



"My bets on Potty," Pansy laughed as the bathroom door slammed.

Dr. Pratt's Office



Hermione sat with her parents on the bed. Everything seemed right about this doctor, but that did not stop Hermione from being nervous.



Hermione had wanted to go to a magical doctor but her parents refused they wanted her to go to a muggle doctor. She agreed she did not want anyone in the wizarding world to know.



Mrs. Granger smiled, "Calm down dear it'll be okay."



Hermione nodded trying to assure her mother she was calm. She was unsuccessful since she nearly jumped out of her skin when the door opened.



Dr. Pratt came into the room smiling at the nervous girl, "Hello again Hermione are you doing?"



She returned his smile, "Nice to see you again too Dr. Pratt," Her physician had recommended Dr. Pratt to her; she met him when she went to her regular doctor. He seems to be a nice man.



Hermione groaned in embarrassment when her father rose from his seat to stand in front of the doctor, "Dr. Pratt I'm Kenneth Granger I am Hermione's father."



The Doctor smiled from the look on his face he wanted to ask him something, "Hello sir is there a question you would like to ask me?"



Mr. Granger nodded, "What are your credentials."



"Daddy, please!" Hermione whined.



However, the doctor smiled "its fine Hermione well I am a registered ob-gyn, I graduated from oxford medical school. I graduated at the top of my class." The doctor pointed to his degrees.



Mr. Granger smiled nodding "I am sorry but I want the best for my little girl."



The doctor patted Mr. Granger's back saying a kind "I understand I have three girls of my own."



Doctor Pratt smiled at Hermione as he asked her "Now let me ask you a few questions."



Hermione sat while he asked her questions, some of the questions she considered the standard normal questions such as family medical history and what she thought at the time, were strange questions as the kind of cat she had and her physical fitness regimen.



After the questions Dr. Pratt instructed her to step up onto a scale to check her weight, Hermione flushed seeing she gained thirteen pounds she thought it was ten but she was wrong. He assured her that this was indeed normal, with the amount of food she was consuming it was normal. However, he wanted her to gain a little more.



After the entire examination was through, he gave her a prescription for prenatal vitamins. He advised her to see him every month since this was her first pregnancy.



Hermione's parents treated their daughter to a huge ice cream sundae before she headed back to Hogwarts.



0000000000



Hermione quickly floo-ed back to Hogwarts literally almost falling through the floo. She rolled her eyes for the bane of her existence, and his cronies were sitting in the common room.



Goyle lifted his dark eyes from his parchment giving the new-comer a smirk as he spoke, "Well hello Granger how was you're appointment?"



Hermione rolled her eyes at him taking off her coat, "Sod off Goyle. Do you have to tell them everything?" she whined to Malfoy.



"Ooo not very friendly," Draco slurred and gave a slight chuckle at her annoyance taking a sip of his red currant rum.



Hermione eyed his drink, "You know you should not be drinking."



"Yeah well I need to un-wind, you should have a drink maybe than you'd loose that stick up your arse,” he snapped.



His boys burst out laughing at his words.



"Maybe I would but I can't drink so the stick will have to stay up there longer you prick," Hermione glared turning on her heel; he watched her walk to the kitchen grabbing a carton of orange juice.



Draco had to admit he liked her like this. She was feistier than usual.



She walked back in flopping on the couch next to Draco. Hermione kicked off her shoes rubbing her feet.



"I hate Hogwarts it's too big," she mumbled.



Pansy eyed her annoyed, "Why are you here?"



Hermione glowered at the girl "Because this is my common room as much as Malfoy's and I can do what I want in it."



Pansy huffed returning to her parchment.



Hermione rubbed her temples her head was killing her.



Zabini frowned behind his book, "you should get a potion for your headache Granger."



Hermione sighed, "I don't want to take anything unless I have to," Hermione said to the dark skinned Slytherin.



Crabbe made a hopeful face as he said, "If you want I can knock you out."



Hermione glared at his words.



Crabbe spoke happily, "It's a win win situation after the hit you will not feel any pain and I can hit your annoying arse."



Hermione flipped him off.



Draco snickered into his parchment they were studying for exams. The timer rang, the Slytherins yelped with joy as their study time was done. They hated that Draco did this to them, but they listened to him no matter what.



Pansy stood grabbing her things "You coming Drake?"



Draco looked at Pansy, shaking his head, "Nah I'm beat Pans I'll see you tomorrow," she nodded walking out with the rest of the Slytherins.



Hermione put her feet up sighing she was exhausted these days.



Draco licked his lips looking at her 'Bloody hell even knocked up she's pretty' he thought to himself.



Fanning herself she found the room stifling. Hermione carefully took off her jumper lapping it over the chair; she turned to Malfoy when she heard a gasp.



Hermione quirked her brow Malfoy was looking at her strangely.



"Malfoy are you alright?"



"Bloody hell Granger when did you get tits?"



Hermione flushed crimson at his leering.



"What?" she said in shock.



Draco pointed at her breasts "They're huge," he mimicked them with his hands.



Hermione grabbed her jumper putting it back on as she spoke, "Stop looking you pervy bastard."



Draco quirked his brow "I remember that arse in sex education saying your tits are going to swell, bloody hell Granger you'll fall out of your jumper."



Hermione blazed, "Shut up Malfoy."



Draco smirked at her embarrassment, "So Granger who's the daddy?"



Hermione shook her head standing "I told you it's none of you're --- Ow!" she shrieked as she back had pain spasm.



"Are you alright?" he asked getting to his feet.



"I'm fine it's just I have never been heavier than 110 lbs I'm now 123 lbs so my body is not use to the extra weight --- why the hell am I telling you this," she huffed.



Draco's eyes bugged out looking her over, "Bloody Hell your fat."



She hands went to her hips, "I am not fat," she frowned looking down she was not fat but she was pudgier than usual, "Fine I'm fat but I'm pregnant dickwad."



Draco smirked at her placing a hand playfully over his head he gasped, "Be still my heart you actually agreed with me call the bloody dementors."



Hermione shook her head "I'm going to go my room I need to lay down my back is killing me."



Hermione went to walk away when his next words shocked her. "I can give you a massage."



Hermione turned her mouth falling open Malfoy was standing there with a goofy look on his face. She knew he was sloshed or maybe tipsy.



"No thank you."



"Oh come on I'm good with my fingers," he wiggled his brows suggestively.



Hermione giggled she could not help it, shaking her head she said, "No it's alright I'm just going to lie down."



He smirked downing his rum, "Well if you ever need my magic fingers let me know," he flopped down on the couch returning to his work.



Hermione whispered as she left "He's gone mental," Hermione looked at her watch gasping she had to do her rounds.

Week 7



Hermione sat in her room looking over her needles as she was trying to make baby booties. Mrs. Weasley had given her the pattern it would be in the colours of Gryffindor house.



She was currently seven weeks, Hermione tried her best not eat so much, she was getting pudgy. She still was not showing still she was getting heavy from the amount of food she was eating. It did not help that everytime she saw Harry and Ron they had something for her to eat.



Lavender teased her about it mercilessly in front of Ron. Hermione knew she was doing it so Ron would not look at her. Hermione sighed, Lavender was getting on her nerves but she understood how the girl felt her boyfriend was dotting on another girl, she would have to speak with him.



Malfoy was driving her bonkers he kept hounding her about who the daddy was. What was she suppose to say It's yours remember that one-night stand you had that night that was me and congratulations you are my mud blood spawn's father.



Hermione stirred out of her musing when heard a meow she smiled at Crookshanks. Hermione flinched looking at Crookshanks litter box she was thankful Ginny had showed her a spell to have the litter clean on its own. Hermione's doctor told her last week that she could not do that chore anymore.



Hermione mumbled as she knitted, "Knit one, purl two. Repeat," her knitting was disturbed by a knock on the door.



"Who is it?" she said still trying to finish the row.



"It's Harry and Ron," Hermione smiled putting her knitting on the side. She walked to the door opening it with a smile.



"Hi guys."



"Mione can we come in?" Ron asked.



"Sure," she motioned for them to enter.



Hermione grabbed her things from her bed placing it on the side for them to sit down.



"So what's going on?"



Ron smiled sitting on her bed, "How are you?"



"I'm fine Ron just a little cranky and sore."



"You still aren't using the spell?" Harry asked.



"No I won't be showing for another couple of weeks, it won't be too noticeable."



Her two friends nodded.



"Why aren't you eating as much as you use to Hermione and you aren't showing my Mum said you at least would have some shape," Ron asked.



"I am trying to maintain my weight I don't want to the world to know until I am ready."



"Hermione that's what the spell is for," Harry said in a worried tone.



"I know I guess I am being a bit narcissistic, I don't want to get too big before my body does not bounce back."



Ron blushed at her words, "That's not healthy Hermione you should just enjoy it."



Hermione glared at Ron, "I am going to be turning into a whale soon Ron, and I will not be enjoying it."



Harry smirked at his friend's annoyance.



"Hermione he meant that you should just go with it, you will get your body back."



Hermione glowered at Harry, "What would you know Harry have you ever been pregnant?"



"Hermione Mrs. Weasley said being pregnant is a miracle."



Hermione stood pacing, "You have no idea what I am going through, crankiness, back aches, I am peeing so damn much that I could give a urine sample daily to my doctor."



The boys both were crimson they wanted her to end her tirade but they knew never to interrupt an irate Hermione.



"Everything makes me gag which makes me throw up, my breasts are swelling because of weight gain, if I did not have baggy clothes the boys would be looking at my tits and not my face," she barked.



Harry winced he hated this Hermione was crankier than usual.



"Hermione please we did not come here to fight, we came here to give you this."



Harry pulled out his wand, saying a spell a package appeared on her bed.



Hermione squealed in delight making her friend chuckle. Hermione quickly ripped open the package; she sniffled at what she saw was in the box.



"Hermione are you okay?" Ron wondered if they made a mistake in their gifts.



"Oh, you guys this is brilliant."



Hermione held in her hands a bunch of books. She lovingly looked at all of them with excitement.



Harry beamed they both knew she would love them. Hermione's greatest love was knowledge. Ron had wanted to buy her a stuff animal but Harry told him to pitch in to buy her books instead.



They had taken a trip to the muggle world one Hogsmeade weekend to buy it at a bookstore called London Review Bookshop. They were worried if they went to Flourish and Blott’s someone would recognize them.



The shopkeepers at the store were highly knowledgeable when they asked about books on pregnancy. Ron went off to look at a few books bringing back a few on baby names.



Hermione smiled at her boys, "Thank you guys sorry I was being rude."



They both shrugged, "You're Pregnant," they said in unison.



Hermione giggled at them.



Watching her for almost a minute literally she was nearly drooling they decided they would leave her alone, they both stood, "Well I guess we'll see you at dinner Mione," Harry said with a smile, "You have to eat more Mione, please for us," he begged.



Hermione nodded assuring them she would, as they left the room.



Hermione went to her couch lounging she opened one of the books with sigh of happiness as she read.



0000000000



A few hours later Hermione walked with her book to the kitchen grabbing a carton of orange juice and a sandwich.



Never seeing the blond arse standing watching her Hermione took a bite of her sandwich almost choking in fright at Malfoy's voice.



"Are you going to take a Lamaze course I remember watching a muggle movie where a pregnant woman went to a class to practice some breathing shit."



Hermione whipped around her hand over her heart, "Bloody hell you scared me."



He smirked, "Well are you?"



Hermione just looked at him with un-trust wondering what he was up to, "Yes my parents had made an appointment for courses."



He nodded, "You should start saving to buy the stuff you will need for the baby soon, since you're poor you should get a head start."



Hermione wanted to slap him, "I am not poor Malfoy my parents are well off."



He shrugged, "Better to get a head start."



"What do you want Malfoy?" she huffed taking a gulp of her orange juice.



"I'm bored thought I'd talk to you, I am in need of an intelligent conversation," he drawled in a bored tone.



Hermione stared at him in shock, Malfoy is being civil. She was about to sit and talk. However, he had to open his bloody mouth.



"After all you are intelligent...for a mudblood."



"Why don't you go talk to your goons you asshole, "she turned on her heel having every intention of going back to her room but his voice stopped her.



"Wait," Draco almost yelled, "I did not mean---I'm really bored just bloody talk to me."



Hermione glared taking a bite of her sandwich, "Where are your two bodyguards?"



"They're eating as usual?"



Hermione looked at her room, frowned she was bored too, "What do you want to talk about?"



He shrugged, "I don't know, we can play chess if you want and talk?" Draco asked her motioning to the chessboard set up.



Hermione looked at him with weary eyes, "I'm not very good, and I mean I really don't know how to play."



Draco cocked his head, "Weasley never taught you? I've heard he's decent."



"No Ron tried but I never took to it, I think it's barbaric."



He quirked his brows, "What's barbaric about it?"



"He plays wizard's chess."



"Ah, well we can play normal chess, want to learn?"



She looked at the chessboard shrugging, "Alright," she walked to the chessboard flopping down on a pillow.



"Teach me," Draco licked his lips at her words; he shook his head and went on trying to explain the rules of chess.



"This is basics Granger in chess white always moves first, this one here is the king," Draco showed her the piece, "The King is the most important piece in chess. The object of chess is to attack the opponent's King in such a way that it cannot escape. this is called checkmate. Are you with me so far?"



"Yup that's the king, important piece and the object is to attack the opponent's king so it can not escape."



"Good but you can't capture it the king can never be captured got that?"



"Yes."



"Any attack by a piece directly on a King is called check. When a King is checked, it must immediately get out of check. The King cannot be allowed to remain in check. If it is a player's turn to move and his King is not in check, he cannot make any move that exposes his King to check. The King must never come within the capturing range of enemy pieces. You still with me?"



She nodded looking at him; she listened in fascination. Ron never made chess sound so thrilling.



"How can I get my king out of check?" Hermione asked as she gulped down her juice.



"There are three ways to get out of check Granger, 1. To capture the piece that is giving check. 2. To move the King out of the line of attack - but not into the line of attack of some other enemy piece. 3. To interpose one of your own pieces between the King and the piece that is giving check. If none of these three methods can be applied, then Granger your King is checkmated. Got it?" he asked hoping she did, he did not want to repeat it.



"Got it," Hermione nodded around her sandwich, the way he explained it for some reason it was easier to understand than when Ron tried to teach her.



"Alright now on to the other pieces this is the Queen---"



Hermione sat and listened to Malfoy teach her in his opinion the greatest game besides quidditch. Hermione took it all in as he explained things to her before they started to play. She was surprised he actually helped her during the game giving her tips and coughing if it was a bad move.



Malfoy had bought out a huge amount of snacks from his room for them to eat. She was stunned that many of the treats were muggle kind of some sort; she did not dare question him after all he was sharing with her.



"Okay I get these pieces," She pointed to the pieces she understood, " The King you said it can move only one square and no leaping," she asked taking a last bite of a Fry's chocolate cream bar.



"Correct," Draco said moving his pawn, popping a cola bottle gummy into his mouth.



"Why in the bloody hell can't it leap I mean he's the king?" Hermione said looking at the board making her move.



"That's the way it's done," Draco moved his knight, he popped another cola in his mouth.



Hermione made a face looking at him eat another gummy.



"Why are you eating that muck?" she hissed.



He smiled, "its good try some," he said holding out a few cola bottles to her.



She shook her head, "Gummies do not agree with my stomach."



"You don't know what you're missing," he teased shoving a bunch of gummies in his mouth.



Hermione frowned she still did not understand why the king could not leap other pieces.



"Still don't see why the king can't leap."



Draco sighed, "It's the rules."



"That’s stupid the king should be able to leap and move wherever it wants," Hermione moved her pawn, while ripping open a bar of Thonton's Turkish delight with her teeth.



Draco rolled her eyes, "Granger it's just done this way?" mumbled while taking a careful look at the board.



"But the queen can move any amount of squares as long as no other piece is in its path why can't the king do that?" she asked waving her queen in his face.



Draco grabbed the piece placing it back, "Granger I don't know why, the game was invented that way," Draco said in an annoyed voice before making his move.



"Why can't we change it, I mean I love the fact the queen is the most powerful piece but it seems silly the king is not as powerful---"



"Bloody hell this is how the game is bleeding played," he interrupted her shoving a few cola bottle gummies into his mouth.



"But why?" she asked taking a bite of her treat.



Draco was gripping his rook he wanted to reach over and slap her, "Because it is, it's been this way for centuries, now move."



"Why can't someone change it?" she whined.



Draco's eyes blazed at her, "Fucking hell woman you can't change it, the rules is bloody law, Move!"



"No it's not, it not as if there is a chess parliament saying this is this and that is that," she spat at him.



Draco was now beyond pissed he gripped the chess table he was trying not to loose it.



'Why does she have to argue with me?' he thought as she kept going on with her stupid rambling he finally had enough.



"For Fucks sake Granger," he practically screamed, "People have been playing this game this way for centuries, you can't change the fucking rules, now move your fucking piece!" he screamed.



Hermione flinched nodding, looking at the board gasping she moved her piece, "Check."



His eyes flew to the board in shock, "What the?" he shook his head not believing it, he looked at the board trying to see if he could get out of being checked, but it was not possible. He looked at her in awe she did it she fucking beat him. He growled pushing his king down. He looked at her she was blushing, "You beat me?"



"Sorry, I did not mean to," she felt bad.



He smirked sticking out his hand to her. She quirked her brow, hesitantly she placed her hand in his. Shaking it he praised, "Good game."



She smiled at him there was complete silence between them. She felt for the first time maybe he was not such a bad person that is until the door flew open and his dickwad friends came in.



"Malfoy we bought you some dessert," Crabbe said with a plate of goodies.



"What are you doing?" Goyle asked in confusion at their joined hands.



He yanked his hand away from Granger and snapped, "Nothing just sitting with the mudblood until you got here."



She shook her head 'Yup there's the ferret I know,' she thought, she stood walking to room to take a nap not wanting to row tonight.

The next day - The Duelling Club



Hermione stood with the rest of the Gryffindors looking at their D.A.D.A. professor.



Professor Lupin stood on the left side of the duelling table trying to calm the excitement of his students.



"Gather around everyone it's time for a duel," Lupin said finally getting the attention of his class.



The students rushed to the edge to get a good look at the Professor.



Lupin took off his robes, loosing his tie as he spoke, "Everyone knows the rules of duelling I have explained the rules numerous of times. With that said I will not bore you with the rules, let's have at it --- Black."



Sirius stood hopping onto the duelling plank on the other end. He smiled at Harry, Ron and Hermione giving them a wink.



Lupin smirked at his friend "Mr. Black has been kind enough to volunteer his time to help us with today's duel club."



"Are you going to duel?" Parvati Patil asked the professor.



Black looked at Lupin, "Want to duel mate?"



Lupin chuckled, "Alright just one duel."



The class cheered as Lupin and Black walked the plank until they were inches from each other.



Sirius smiled at his friend, "Ready Moony?"



Remus smiled devilishly at Sirius, "Ready Padfoot."



The two turned away from each other until they reached the desired space, turning they took their duelling stance.



"Count it out class," Lupin said to his pupils.



The class who were all looking with anticipation yelled out the count, "One --- Two --- Three"



Both men yelled "Expelliarmus!"



Black's wand flew out of his hand, Sirius laughed at the look on Remus' face as he stood straight up with pride.



"Good show mate," Black said to Lupin.



Lupin turned to the class, "Alright who is next on the list?” Luping scanned his parchment, “it says here Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger please step up."



Hermione stood stock still looking at Harry with a twinge of fear there was no way in hell she could duel.



"Professor," Hermione said timidly, "I don't feel well can I not duel today."



Lupin frowned at Hermione's words, "Miss Granger you know everyone must participate."



Harry stepped up "She's been under the weather Remus --- I mean Professor Lupin could I duel with Malfoy instead."



Lupin looked at Hermione he noticed something was off; he cleared his senses gasping in shock when he detected motion of what could only be a tiny heart beat. Looking at Harry in horror, he asked with his eyes.



Harry blushed at the look on Remus’s face. He had forgotten Remus is werewolf he has enhanced senses. Harry knew he could deny it he nodded lightly confirming it.



Remus came out of his shocked silence booming at the class, "Mr. Potter will take Miss Granger's place."



The crowd cheered while the Slytherins moaned in disappointment.



Sirius looked at his friend in confusion. Lupin shook his head asking silently for his friend to let it go.



Harry placed his hand on Remus' shoulder whispering, "Thank you."



Lupin looked sternly at his friend, "Sirius and I will talk later to you all understand?"



"Yes sir."



Remus boomed, "Take your positions."



Malfoy smirked leaping onto the plank he swaggered to his spot with such confidence all the Slytherin girls swooned.



"Come on Drake!" Blaise Zabini yelled around his hands to Draco.



Harry turned walking to Draco; he had his fair share of swooning girls as he walked to his place.



"Go on Harry kick his arse!" Seamus Finnigan yelled. Everyone laughed at his words.



"Language Mr. Finnigan," Lupin yelled at the boy.



Harry and Draco both put their wands in front of their faces no words said. Lupin knew that they were not going to bow to each other. This was the closest he would get to bow from the two boys.



"Are you ready Mr. Malfoy?" The professor asked.



"Ready," Draco said his eyes never leaving Potter.



"Are you ready Mr. Potter?"



"I'm ready sir," Harry said glaring at Malfoy.



"Take your stances," Lupin instructed.



They walked a few feet turning in duelling stance.



Lupin spoke, "One --- Two -- Three."



"Expelliarmus!" they both yelled.



Draco's wand flew out of his hands to the ground. The Slytherins all groaned at their prince loosing to scar head.



Harry straightened looking at Draco with a satisfied smirk.



Lupin said with pride, "Wonderful Mr. Potter wonderful."



Harry turned looking at Lupin smiling at his praise, without warning an angry Draco yelled, "Everte Statum!"



Harry went flying into the air falling to the plank with a thud.



Hermione gasped when Draco went to hit Harry again.



Pointing her wand at Draco she yelled, "Accio wand," Draco's wand flew out of his hand into hers.



He turned looking at her he sneered, "Give me back my bleeding wand Granger."



Hermione shook her head refusing to give it to him.



Lupin walked to Hermione "Give me his wand Miss Granger."



Hermione gave the professor the wand all the while shaking her head in disappointment at Malfoy.



Lupin snapped his head towards Draco almost growling, "For your unsportsmanlike behaviour you will not get your wand back until the end of the class. Do you understand me?"



"Yes sir," Draco growled



"I am very disappointed in you, never have I witnessed---"



Hermione interrupted his tirade with a scream, "Harry No!"



Harry slammed his fist into Malfoy catching him in the left side of the jaw. Draco staggered almost instantly recovered. He swung his fist at Harry landing a punch splitting his lip, Draco went to hit Harry again catching Malfoy off guard he head-butted him. Draco fell to the ground a cut bled from the corner of his head.



Harry fell to the ground as well "That was not bloody smart, "he groaned holding his head in pain.



Draco charged about to hit Harry again, Harry lunged for him as well.



Just in time, Lupin and Black grabbed the boys, "Stop it this instant!" Lupin roared.



They kept their eyes on each other trying to break free. Draco kicked at Harry catching him the shin. Harry kicked Draco hitting him in the thigh making Draco stagger a bit.



Lupin and Black noticed when Draco's cronies were about to jump on the plank.



Lupin sneered at them, "Anyone interferes will loose 100 points for their house," that stop anyone who wanted to step in to help.



Black pulled on Draco as Draco tried to kick at Harry, "Enough!" he bellowed.



Harry smiled with pleasure at Sirius's yell, his smile disappeared when Lupin glared at him "Both of you Harry, both of you settle down this instant."



Their eyes never wavered from each other's as they calmed.



"This was highly inappropriate behaviour for both of you, you will serve detention with me and fifty points will be taken from each of your houses," he barked.



Lupin turned to Hermione with a smile he said, "Ten points to Gryffindor for the head girl's quick thinking."



Hermione smiled at Professor Lupin.



Lupin turned to the class and spoke, "Duelling is done for today you may go all of you."



Everyone quickly scattered out the door fearing their professor would change his mind.



Lupin and Black let go of the two students. Lupin shook his head in disappoint at his two pupils.



"You may leave Mr. Malfoy. I will see you tonight at 7:00 pm," Lupin said to the Slytherin.



"Yes sir," Draco mumbled walking out of the room his cronies' right behind him.



Lupin looked at the trio, "You three stay after class I need to speak with you."



"Yes sir," they said in unison.



When the room cleared leaving only the trio Lupin cast a silencing and locking spell on the doors and walls.



He took a breath turning to Hermione with a sorrow in his eyes he asked her, "Hermione are you pregnant?"



Hermione never answered as a yell was heard from Sirius, "What?" Sirius looked at his friend with rage.



Gripping Remus' shirt he snarled, "How dare you ask her that question, how dare you think that she would even be, she's a lady Moony."



Hermione cried at Sirius's words not because it's such a sweet thing to say. No, she cried because she's afraid of what he would think of her.



"Mione are you alright?" Ron asked concerned at her crying.



She looked at Sirius with sad eyes, he gasped she did not have to say anything he knew that his friend was right.



"You are aren't you?" Sirius asked with a pain in his voice.



"Yes," she whispered.



"Are you sure?" Sirius asked, "You don't look pregnant maybe you are mistaken."



Lupin touched Sirius's arm smiling, "Padfoot there's five in this room, I here six heart beats."



Sirius gasped, "Are you sure?"



"It's faint but I can hear it."



Looking at Hermione Sirius asked, "How long are you?"



"Seven weeks."



"Hermione you aren't showing aren't you suppose to have a little shape," Sirius asked.



"That's what I said," Ron said annoyed.



"I'm just pudgier that's all, I won't show for another few weeks."



Harry glared, "That's because you aren't eating," he snapped.



She whipped her head at Harry, "I am eating I'm just watching my diet."



"You aren't supposed to be dieting," Ron said clearly irritated.



"What would you know about being pregnant Ronald?" Hermione's eyes blazed with furious intensity.



Lupin hoping he could defuse a row asked, "Who's the father Hermione?"



Ron crossed his arms "She won't tell us," he said with a haughty voice.



Hermione mimicked his arms retorting to her friend, "It's my choice if I want to tell you Ronald."



"Are you alright Hermione, are you seeing a doctor?" Lupin jumped in.



He knew if he did not stop their conversation, the two would have a row.



"Yes I am my parents took me to see my ob/gyn recently everything is fine."



Sirius looked at her, "You are going to keep it?"



Hermione beamed looking at her stomach, "Yes I am."



Remus smiled at her with a proud smile, "If you need anything you will let us know."



She nodded, "I will Remus."



Sirius looked at Hermione "I'm here for you Hermione."



"Thank you Sirius," she said with her eyes glistening.



Harry cleared his throat, "we have to get back before someone comes to get us."



The two men nodded that their pupils. Lupin took down the spells on the walls and the door to allow them to leave.



Just before they left the room, Lupin spoke, "Harry, do remember you have detention."



Harry moaned, "Yes sir."

Later that Night



Hermione sat with Ron and Ginny waiting for Harry. They wanted to be there for him when he ranted about how much he hated Malfoy.



The portrait slammed open Draco came barrelling in glaring at them before stomping in his room with a slam.



Harry came in a few minutes later.



"What happened?" Hermione asked wondering why Malfoy was in a mood.



"Detention was cancelled Remus forgot tonight is a full moon so he is making us write lines as our punishment."



Hermione smiled at him, "Well it's a good thing."



"It is --- so Hermione have you decided on what to call your baby?" Harry asked.



Hermione shook her head, "I'm still thinking about it."

A Crimson Kiss Under the Moonlight



On a Fourth Night Hermione found herself in detention. She received detention because of her moronic friends and those vile Slytherins.



Hermione sat against an oak tree in the forbidden Forrest reading by her wand waiting for the moon to cast overhead. She just got to an interesting part of her book when her watch rang; looking up seeing the full moon overhead, she rose walking to the patch of moonflowers. Bending over she picked up her potion's box gathering a few vials she ever so gently placed the vial under the flower's petal catching the flower's dew while the moon shone overhead.



She filled the vials as instructed by Snape, She turned watching Harry and Ron walking gathering an ingredient Snape had instructed them to find.



Hermione cast a look around the Forbidden Forest seeing ten students in the distance Gryffindor and Slytherin gathering ingredients the Professors needed for potions and charms.



They were given detention because of a fight that broke out between the two houses. All because of a stupid comment Malfoy had made to Harry about quidditch.



She recalled Malfoy's snobbish voice talking to Crabbe and Goyle about the new season of quid ditch.



"This season is going to be brilliant. Practices are going to be more brutal we have to step our game up, we don't want to be like Potter his skill lacks style and his technique is bloody questionable."



Harry who usually just disregarded his taunts was livid. Everyone in the room gasped when Malfoy had made the comment in potions. It was one thing to tease Harry about how he looked, however, to tease him about his quidditch skills that crossed the line even for Harry. Without a second thought, he threw his pencil he kept in his back pocket at Malfoy hitting him in the head.



The pencil stabbed him in the head, without warning a brawl erupted it was Gryffindor versus Slytherin. Hermione tried to break it up but Parkinson caught her slapping her across the face.



She usually being the calm and collected one slapped the girl back making her fall to the floor. Before Pansy could stand, she stupefied the girl. Millicent Bulstrode tried to attack her but Ron let go of Zabini and tackled her to the ground keeping her away from Hermione.



Snape was trying to get a hold of the situation trying his best to break up the brawl but to break up ten people well that was nearly impossible.



"Fight! Fight! Fight!" students who were looking on were chanting encouraging their classmates.



"Mr. Longbottom, let go of Mr. Goyle's hair," Snape snapped, Neville was yanking Goyle's hair trying to get him off Seamus.



Snape pointed at Crabbe who was throwing blows with Cormac McLaggen.



"You two stop it this instant," Snape sneered at his students.



"Enough!" he screamed this had no effect.



Hermione gasped seeing Harry and Malfoy turning blue from choking each other.



She took out her wand doing the only thing she could think of Hermione yelled "Immobulus!" the fight stopped instantly as everyone froze where they were.



Snape breathed a sigh of relief he said the counter spell and lectured the whole class, taking away 100 points from Gryffindor because Harry had thrown the first punch. He took 50 points from the Slytherins, which shocked even his house. He gave all who were in involved in the fight detention.



0000000000



Therefore, this is why Hermione Granger was gathering moondew in the forbidden forest when she could be studying for her N.E.W.T.S.



Hermione smiled finishing her task; she could now relax and read. She walked to an isolated area of the patch sitting back against an oak she continued where she left off. Hermione took out a bag of cookies from her bag, popping one into her mouth as she read.



Minutes later to her disgust, Malfoy came slinking up to her with a smug smile on his face.



"Oi! You done Granger?" he asked in a smug tone.



"Of course," she said her eyes never leaving her book.



"You?" she asked in a snooty tone.



"What do you think?" he said with the raise of one eyebrow.



"I don't know that's why I asked you," she said in a smugly.



He chuckled, "I'm done; now I need to rest."



Draco flopped down next to her by the tree he received a glare from her before she went back to reading.



He slid his hand into his pocket taking a cigarette out of his case. He quietly lit his fag taking a deep puff he sighed at the feel of the smoke filling his lungs.



He heard a gasp, "Don't smoke that in front of me you shit," Hermione said her voice hard.



She yanked the cigarette out of his mouth throwing it in a puddle of water.



"What the fuck Granger?" he said annoyed that she wasted one of his fags.



She whispered with a deadly tone, "It's not good for you know what you git."



Draco's eyes went wide, "Oh! Sorry I forgot."



She turned back to her book hoping he would go away, but the gods were against her when he leaned against the tree looking at the moon.



Hermione felt herself getting tired. She looked at her watch Snape had said they had to be back by Hagrid's at midnight and it was only 10:00 pm. Hermione bookmarked her place, leaning against the tree she intended to get some sleep even if Malfoy was by her.



000000000



In her dream, Hermione felt a pair of warm lips press against hers she moaned at the feel of the lips. She eagerly deepened the kiss. She felt a man wrap his arms around her bringing her closer to him. She sighed into the kiss loving the taste of him.



Hermione frowned he tasted familiar; Hermione's eyes flew open in shock when she heard the man say "Bloody hell Granger."



Hermione's eyes were wide as saucers, looking at the man who was kissing her, immediately she was pushing him trying to get him away from her but Draco was not letting her go.



"Malfoy stop," she mumbled against his lips.



Draco chuckled in his throat holding her tighter. Hermione was desperately trying to get him away from her before he could recognize her kiss.



Draco yanked her hair making her face lift, his eyes bore into hers telling her he did not give a shit he was going to do what he wanted. He leaned in kissing her again, savagely exploring her mouth.



Hermione in desperation bit his lip hard.



"Ow!" Draco growled, letting space come between them, "What the bloody hell?" a coppery taste filled his mouth as he wiped his lip, "You bit me?"



She glared shoving her things in her school bag, "You deserved it," she snapped at him.



Hermione stood up intending to walk away, she felt herself roughly pushed up against the oak tree.



"You think you can do that to me and get away with it?" Draco sneered down at her, his breath warming her face in the cold air.



Hermione sighed, "Just leave me alone Malfoy," she said giving him a push.



His eyes never left hers, he leaned into her his cheek resting against hers, "I've tasted you," his breath tickled her, "I want some more," he rasped out.



Hermione gasped feeling his obvious hard member pressed against her. Hermione’s eyes were wide in horror realizing he was turned on.



“Malfoy I’m pregnant,” she said with trepidation.



He chuckled nibbling her ear, “Does not matter to me pussy is pussy.”



Hermione gaped at him pushing him he stumbled laughing at her anger.



“You are a pig Malfoy,” she snapped.



He grabbed is crotch teasing her “Oink oink baby.”



Hermione looked at him with disgust at this moment he was the vilest creature to walk the face of the earth. Hermione pushed pass him.



“I’m leaving.”



Draco grabbed her pushing her against the tree for a second time.



“You will not leave until I say you can leave,” he growled his arms trapping her.



Draco dipped his head to capture her mouth. Their lips barely touched when a gasp made Draco jump away from her. He ran a hand through blond locks trying to fix himself. He turned hesitantly seeing Ginny Weasley standing there with her hand over her mouth in shock looking at them.



"What are you doing here Weasley?" he growled at the red head. He was frustrated and annoyed they were interrupted.



Ginny gulped never glancing at Malfoy she kept her eyes on Hermione as she spoke, "Snape said I had to find you. Snape says it is almost midnight everyone must meet at Hargid's hut. He was angry you two were not at your areas looking for your assigned ingredients."



Hermione nodded, she knew she was blushing as she picked up her bag and her potions box walking with Ginny. Malfoy stomped past them, anger radiating from his form as he walked to Hagrid's hut.



When Ginny was sure Malfoy was nowhere near them she pulled Hermione to the side glaring, "What the hell was that?" she whispered.



"What are you talking about?" Hermione said, trying her best to sound innocent.



"Don't Hermione I saw you," Ginny sneered, "I saw Malfoy almost kiss you, what's going on?"



"Gin it's not what you think" Hermione tried to get her friend to drop it.



Ginny's eyes went wide, "Is he the father? Is that why you can't tell us?!"



Hermione quickly covered Ginny's mouth and listened, making sure no one was around.



"Meet me tonight in my dorm room Gin and I'll tell you everything."



Ginny nodded, "Come on we better get back."



She grabbed Hermione's hand leading her back to Hagrid's hut before Professor Snape cursed them.
