Chapter Nine - Things are Changing

Week 20

Its official Hermione felt like a blimp as she walked to her doctor's appointment. She was not huge, still small. However, she currently had a slight bump. Unless Hermione turned to the side, you could not even notice it. Thank Merlin for loose robes and bulky jumpers.

Dr. Pratt wanted to have another check-up to see how she was progressing.

Dr. Pratt explained his concerns when Hermione had missed her appointment. Hermione could not keep going all the time, she told him sort of the truth that she went to school aboard. He gave her his emergency number in case Hermione needed him for anything.

When she hit week 20, he was adamant that he wanted to see her for a check-up. So here, she sat in his office explaining her symptoms.

Hermione looked at her Dad and was annoyed again because he was currently trying to take over the appointment. Her Mom had to escort him out while Hermione continued her check up.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"Yes why can't I feel my baby kicking or moving?"

He smiled, "That is not un-common with a first pregnancy. It takes longer to feel the baby move, and I assure you will soon. It will feel like butterfly fluttering or bubbles, when it kicks you will feel it I don't have to describe that to you. Does that answer your question?"

"Yes thank you."

"Now Hermione why don't you lay down here I am going to perform an ultrasound to see how things are coming along okay?"

"Yes sir"

"I don't have to explain it we've done this before."

Hermione nodded.

"Would you like me to call your parents in?"

"Yes please."

"I'll go get them."

Lying back she waited her excitement growing knowing she would in a few seconds be seeing her baby.

She had done this before but today it would be more thrilling she had seen shapes and heard her baby's heartbeat but he had said that she could really see her baby and they could make a CD/DVD and give her pictures of the exam to show her family and friends.

The door opened Mr. and Mrs. Granger walked to their daughter holding her hand.

"Alright let's see your baby Hermione."

Dr. Pratt poured a bit of a glop on the ultrasound wand and on her tummy, which made her jump it, the cold gooey substance made her shiver.

"I'm sorry for it being cold dear," he said.

"It's fine," Hermione sweetly said.

Dr. Pratt smiled placing the wand on her tummy moving it around.

"Alright let's see there it is," he informed the three.

Hermione squinted at the screen and gasped when a movement could be scene on the screen, "Is that my baby?"

Dr. Pratt smiled "Yes it is Hermione and from what I see everything seems to be fine."

Hermione's eyes watered looking at the screen.

"Oh I see the head Hermione." Mrs. Granger nearly shrieked.

Dr. Pratt smiled pointing at the screen, "Here's the head, and feet and the hands."

Hermione cried "Oh Merlin!"

"It's beautiful," Mrs. Granger, cried, "Can we know the sex?" she asked.

"Would you like to know the sex?" he asked Hermione knowing since it is her baby she should have the choice.

Hermione shook her head "No---I would like for it to be a surprise."

Dr. Pratt nodded, "Alright no sex." he chuckled at the disappointment on her parents face, "Sorry you will have to wait with your daughter."

They both nodded smiling seeing the joy on Hermione's face.

When everything was through, he assured her that the baby and she were doing beautifully.

Hermione stood ready to go. Dr. Pratt gave her a bag "Here is the DVD of the ultrasound and pictures. I will see you back here next month."

"Yes sir."

000000000000

Hermione rushed back to Hogwarts, running as quick as she could. She rushed to the Gryffindor common room. She said the password walking in smiling at seeing her friends. Once they laid eyes on her, they jumped up following her to her room.

They all raced to her dorm room locking and silencing the room.

"Well let's see it Hermione," Harry said excitedly.

Hermione pulled out the picture of her ultrasound holding it up for them as they all gasped.

"Oh wow Hermione, it's beautiful." Lavender squealed with happiness.

Ron tilted his head with a confused look on his face as he asked, "That's the head right?" he said pointing to a circle object.

Ginny slapped his head, "Yes Ronald that's the head pea brain."

"Oi! I was just asking Gin," Ron growled at his sister.

Harry beamed looking at the picture, "Is it a boy or girl?"

Hermione shrugged, "I decided I don't want to know until I give birth. I want it to be a surprise."

Ginny sighed looking at the picture, "I wish I could have been there."

Hermione giggled pulling out the DVD "You want to see my baby in action."

They all cheered sitting down as Hermione popped in the DVD.

Tears flowed as they watched the screen. It's one thing to see a picture but to see the baby actually move was a whole another thing.

Harry looked at his best friend with a goofy grin, "You really are a mum Hermione."

Hermione smiled, "I know…isn't it weird?"

Ginny giggled, "I can't wait to hold him or her Hermione."

Hermione rubbed her tummy, "Me too."

Week 25

Hermione sat in her common room reading a book on baby names that Ron had bought her; she had narrowed it down to two names each if it were a boy or a girl.

She smiled looking at her belly, she wasn't huge although without the spell Harry gave her she had no doubt everyone would know. Everyone was still in the dark. She could not believe she kept it a secret this long.

Hermione jumped when the door flew open and a very drunk Malfoy came falling through the door.

"Hello beautiful," Draco slurred at Hermione.

Hermione arched her brow at him, "You must really be pissed Malfoy."

"I'm not pissed --- I'm happy," he giggled like a mad man.

His giggles were infectious and she giggled softly at him.

"You should go to bed Malfoy."

He nodded, "Yes I should, would you like to join me?" he said wiggling his brows suggestively.

Hermione shook her head, "Come on Malfoy I'll help you to bed."

Draco stumbled with a smile on his face "Oh good we can fuck."

Hermione glared, "No I will put you to bed and you can go to sleep."

"But I want to fuck," he hiccupped swaying slightly, he lost his balance falling head first to the floor, "Shit," he mumbled when he hit the floor with a crash.

Hermione sighed helping the drunk Malfoy up, "Malfoy come on," she pulled him to his dorm room laying him down on the bed. He fell back with a moan.

Hermione bent down taking off his shoes.

Draco sat on his elbow smiling "Whatcha doing?" he squinted; he smirked at seeing her taking off his shoes.

"Aren't you a naughty girl trying to have your wicked way with me?"

Hermione laughed, "Come on Malfoy lay down."

Draco chuckled looking at her for what she could tell was his best sexy smirk. However, it did not work when he was plastered.

"Why did you drink?"

Draco sighed, "My Dad wants me to marry Pansy," he said in an anguished tone.

Hermione gasped, "Why?"

"He wants me to marry a pureblood," he sighed.

Hermione frowned, "At least you love Pansy, Malfoy," she told him.

"I love Pans because she's my friend, but I'm not in love with her."

"You’re not? But aren't you two dating?"

Draco shook his head, "She's dating Gregory," with Hermione's confused look he chuckled taking a swig of his bottle, "Goyle, Gregory Goyle Granger," he said.

Hermione smiled, "You want to marry for love?"

Draco nodded as he downed a big gulp of his whiskey, "My fucking father…why does he have to do this?"

Hermione shrugged, "He's just trying to look out for you Malfoy," Hermione could not believe she was defending Lucius Malfoy.

"But it's my life Granger not his, he's a good man but he's still trying to run my life!" he screamed waving his arms dramatically.

Hermione frowned grabbing the bottle, "I think that's enough for you."

"Will you marry me?"

Hermione laughed thoroughly amused at his words, "You don't love me Malfoy."

"No but I like you I could love you."

Hermione was in shock at what he just revealed.

"Malfoy you know we would never work."

"Why not? I want to marry a girl who can give as much as I take. I want a girl who doesn't take any of my shit, and does not bow down to me just because I'm a Malfoy."

Hermione sighed, "You will find her but it's not me. We'd kill each other you know that."

He frowned, "You're right," he slurred, and "we'd probably hex each other on the honeymoon."

Hermione laughed with him.

"Go to sleep Malfoy."

Draco crawled up the bed. Hermione pulled the covers over him as he smiled a goofy smile at her.

"You know you’re one sexy witch."

Hermione looked at him in disbelief, "Malfoy you’re drunk and I'm pudgy as hell."

He shook his head, "Doesn't matter…you could have a horn on your bleeding head and you still would be sexy."

Hermione shook her head at his words, "You're drunk Malfoy, go to sleep."

"Okay," he said in a small voice.

"Goodnight Malfoy."

"Night Granger," he mumbled in a childlike voice.

Hermione placed a blanket over him and smiled at his face, which he had slightly turned as the moonlight shone on him. His hair sparkled and his pale skin glowed.

Hermione smoothed a stray hair from his face, "How is it that someone who looks like an angel can be such a devil," she whispered.

However, she frowned looking at him she thought and realizing that was not true anymore. For the last couple of weeks he was civil to her almost nice. True there were rude remarks here and there but he was kinder to her. However, Hermione shook her head knowing that the true Malfoy would rear its ugly head.

Hermione walked out of the room smiling knowing the alcohol made him say those things, Hermione frowned at the man she wished he could be.

Week 28 - Slytherin vs. Gryffindor

Hermione stood outside the Gryffindor common room with Ginny waiting for Harry, Ron and Lavender.

"What's taking them so long?" Ginny asked.

"They probably are getting their stuff together at the last minute."

At that, the portrait flew open and out came Harry and Ron stumbling slightly with their robes half buttoned.

"Sorry Gin," Harry said giving her a kiss, "I forgot to get my assignments together and Ron forgot where he put his shoe."

Hermione nudged her head to Ginny saying, "See…what did I tell you?" she teased.

Ginny giggled at Hermione's taunt.

"What?" Harry said to Hermione.

"Nothing, Where's Lav?"

"I'm here," Lavender said breathless, "I had to re-do my hair."

Ginny and Hermione rolled their eyes, "Lavender you have the most beautiful hair why do you fuss with it?" Ginny said as the group started walking to the Great hall.

"You think so? It takes time to look the way I do," Lavender whined.

Ron and Harry just sighed in annoyance when they talk about girl stuff.

They forced their way through the corridors as they hurried to get to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"So what are we doing today?" Hermione asked.

Harry, Ron and Ginny looked at her in shock.

"Hermione today is the Quidditch match!" Ron half-yelled, "Slytherin vs. Gryffindor."

"Sorry I forgot," she whispered.

"You forgot!" they yelled.

"How can you forget?" Harry asked.

"Hey!" Lavender yelled "I forgot too, give us a break, we’re not fanatics like you three."

They were about to retort however, their words were cut off by a voice behind them.

"Hi Harry, Ron wait up," Seamus Finnegan yelled.

"Hi Seamus," Harry and Ron said in unison as they stood to wait for Seamus.

The rest of the Gryffindors gave him a polite nod.

"So Harry, Ron are we going to beat Slytherin today?"

Ginny nodded, "We’re going to clobber them," Ginny said in confidence.

"Somehow I doubt that," a growl came from behind the group.

When the group turned, there standing proud right behind them was Slytherin’s captain, Malfoy. With a smirk on his face as his cold grey eyes bore into Harry's eyes.

He and his team stood in their custom-made Slytherin quidditch t-shirts. It had their positions on their pockets and the words Failure is Not an Option across their chests.

He stood with his gang and a few of his team members standing beside him. Draco radiated power without a question. Looking at the group you knew who the leader was right away.

Ginny giggled at their shirts.

"Nice shirt Malfoy," Ginny said, "Although your motto should be Failure is our Option."

The Gryffindors roared with laughter at Ginny's taunt.

Draco sneered, "I don't think you should talk Weaselette…I remember one of my boys knocked you off your broom. Want a repeat performance?" he sneered.

"You bloody ferret!" Harry yelled about to attack Malfoy. However, Ginny stopped him.

"Harry don't," Ginny whispered, "just promise me we'll kick their asses."

"I promise," he said to his girlfriend.

"Well when in doubt…quit!" Zabini said beside Draco.

Goyle and Crabbe who everyone knows are two of the most vicious beaters on any team, stood ready to defend their team.

Everyone around them stopped at the two rival houses standing off as if they were going to fight.

"We would never quit, and we don't have a doubt Zabini. We know we’re going to win," Harry said.

Draco chuckled at his words, "Dream on Potter."

Goyle stared at Ron pounding his fist in his hand earning a gulp from Ron.

"What's wrong Weasley…does Goyle scare you?" Draco teased at seeing Ron's face.

"Shut up Malfoy!" Dean Thomas sneered.

Dean and a few of the Gryffindor players heard about the row between the houses and came to give their support.

Draco shook his head, "You really think you are going to beat us Potter?"

"I know we will and we'll win the Quidditch Cup too!"

Cheering rang out from the Gryffindor side.

Goyle and Crabbe were about to strike however, Malfoy stopped them, "No I cannot allow you two to get in trouble hours before the match."

Goyle and Crabbe nodded as they backed away.

"We'll see you on the pitch Potter," he growled.

"We'll be there," Harry said.

However, Malfoy wanted the last word knowing he could not get to Potter and Weasley through quidditch. He spotted Granger standing against the wall waiting for the row to be finished.

He growled walking towards her. Colin Creevey, stood in front of him, "Move!" he roared.

"Yes Malfoy," he squeaked almost diving out of the way.

Hermione stood with her head against the wall her eyes closed trying to relax when she suddenly felt two arms come up beside her.

She opened her eyes and gasped standing no more than five inches away from her was Malfoy.

"Hey there Granger! You’re looking nice today…very nice" he seductively said. Giving his approval of how she looked with his eyes.

"Go away Malfoy," she sneered.

"Maybe after the game we can go back to our head dorms and you and I can play a game of our own."

The Slytherins all whooped and howled at his words.

Harry and Ron seethed as they stepped up to attack. However, Dean and Seamus held them back.

"No Hermione can take care of herself," Seamus said.

"You are a pig," she snapped ducking under his arm to get away.

Draco chuckled grabbing her pulling him flush against him, "Or maybe after the head girl can give the head boy some head," his eyes roamed over her body, bluntly letting Hermione and the rest of the audience know what he wanted.

Hermione smiled seductively at him and gently grabbed his face shocking him and the crowd. She leaned in as if she would kiss him and shocking the crowd Hermione lifted her knee into his groin --- hard!

"Fuck!" he screamed in pain.

Mafloy dropped to the floor in pain holding his crotch.

Winces and ooh's came from the male members of the crowd as they looked at Draco gasping in pain.

Harry and Ron gasped for breath as they laughed their asses off.

"Alright Hermione!" the crowd cheered.

Hermione sneered at Malfoy who lay on the floor in pain "Get loss creep."

The crowd laughed as Hermione moved away from the blonde and walked to her friends.

Dean Thomas stared her with awe, "I think I'm in love," he said.

The crowd howled and made kissing noises at Dean's words.

Hermione flirtatiously smiled at him. Picking up her bag, she smiled proudly at her friends and said, "Let's eat."

Ginny giggled clutching her friends arm. "You're my hero Hermione," she giggled.

Hermione wrapped her arm around Ginny and said, "No one makes fun of my best mates and gets away with it."

Ginny and Lavender giggled walking with her as Harry and Ron held their heads up in pride.

Although the Slytherins could not do anything, they taunted the Gryffindors by singing the song Ron dreaded the most.

"Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King.

Weasley was born in a bin
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley will make sure we win
Weasley is our King.

Weasley is our King,
Weasley is our King,
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley is our King."

Ron growled over his shoulder hating that song.

Hermione stopped him wrapping her arm around him as she sang.

"Weasley is our King,
Weasley is our King,

He didn't let the Quaffle in
Weasley is our King.

Hermione nudged Harry telling him without words to sing their version. When Harry started singing all of the Gryffindors around them sang along.

Ron smiled at his friends as he sang along.

Weasley can save anything,
He never leaves a single ring,
That's why Gryffindors all sing:
Weasley is our King."

The Gryffindors turned the corner when Hermione glanced at Draco who was looking at her with his hands on his hips a scowl clearly on his face as he stared at her.

Crabbe and Goyle had their hands on him trying to comfort him.

Draco seethed, "Get off me!" he yelled spit spraying from his mouth as he roughly shoved their hands off him.

He turned back to Hermione just in time to see her taunt him with a kiss.

Draco wiped his mouth as he growled, "I'm going to fix that mudblood."

He turned, where to his disdain; there stood Blaise in front of him shaking his head.

Draco scowled, "Fuck off Blaise this means war."

Blaise sighed as his housemates followed Draco. Blaise knew without a doubt that this would get bad.

Blaise dashed after him grabbing him by the collar.

"What the fuck?" Draco growled.

"I need to talk to you Drake! NOW!" he screamed.

Seeing his housemates he growled, "Alone!"

They all scattered and Blaise dragged Draco to an empty classroom. Locking and charming the door, he turned his eyes throwing daggers at him.

"You will not do anything to her in return."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Draco roared, "That bitch kicked me in the bollocks."

"Well if you did not embarrass and indecently proposition her in front of everyone she would have not done it. I say she had a right to do it."

"You are fucking taking her side?" he screamed pointing to the door as if Granger stood right there.

"Yes I am Drake. I told you in order for you to be with her you have to be nice to her. It will ruin everything you are trying to do if you do anything to her."

"So what? I have to just take it?" he yelled.

"Yes!" Blaise screamed in return.

The two boys stood staring at each other breathing in and out harshly.

"Fine!" Draco yelled.

"Fine!" Blaise yelled back.

Draco ripped open the door only to bump into Goyle who said, "You okay Malfoy?"

"Oh go fuck yourself!" he screamed making Goyle jump.

Draco stalked away.

Blaise shook his head patting a comforting hand on Goyle as he yelled, "Drama queen!"

Draco lifted his hand giving him the finger as he walked to the Great hall alone.

Two hours before the Quidditch match

Hermione ran all over her room trying to find her Gryffindor scarf and her Gryffindor flag.

"Hermione you have to hurry we have to get to the pitch," Harry said standing with Ginny and Ron dressed in their quidditch uniforms.

"Go ahead I'll be there shortly," she said as she dove through her trunk.

"You sure?" Ginny asked.

"Go I'll be there soon," She said.

"Alright we'll see you there," they said as they quickly walked to the locker rooms to where Harry would make his pre-game speech.

They had gotten ready ahead of time and rushed to the head dorms to escort Hermione. Harry did not like how Malfoy was looking at her all day.

Now they had to leave they were going to be late for their warm-up time.

Hermione smiled pulling her flag from the trunk. Her frown returned when she did not see her scarf.

"I know it's outside somewhere," she whispered.

Hermione stomped her feet in frustration when she could not find it. She turned looking at her room in disgust and then rolled her eyes in annoyance remembering where she left it.

Hermione walked quickly to the bathroom barging in and screamed when she came face to face with a very naked Draco Malfoy. Who stood there as if nothing was out of the ordinary as if standing in front of her in all his naked glory is a completely natural thing.

"Why hello," Malfoy said drying his wet hair with his towel.

He was about to wrap the towel around himself but threw his towel on the rack showing her his wet, well toned body.

"Oh my god!" she shrieked turning around covering her eyes.

Draco chuckled at her embarrassment, "I don't mind you seeing me naked Granger," he said.

"Could you please just put on a towel or robe or something…please?," she begged.

"Oh I love it when you beg Granger," he said in a sexy tone.

"Sod off Malfoy! Just do it!"

He chuckled grabbing the green towel from the rack and wrapped it around his lower body tucking the end into the towel so it would not fall.

"I'm decent," he said.

Hermione turned around and opened her eyes glaring, "Decent…yeah right, I could only dream."

Hermione had to keep herself from gasping at the sight before her. He looked good, damn good. Water dripped down his chiseled body. He was just as she remembered, his body was perfect, a work of art come to life.

"Granger can you stop ogling me," he snickered at her blunt staring.

Draco laughed as Hermione gave him the finger and grabbed her scarf that lay on the counter top. She wrapped it around her neck.

Malfoy grabbed some gel and gently ran it through his hair.

Hermione sneered looking at his products, "Why do you have all this?" she said pointing to the numerous bottles and jars.

"I enjoying pampering myself alright…maybe you should try it."

"No thank you and why are you using gel? I have not seen you wearing it since we started school"

Draco smiled wickedly at her, "Why Granger I must be a good looking bloke for you to be looking at me," he teased.

"Shut up Malfoy," she hissed.

He chuckled and for some reason she did not understand why he did it.

"With my hair gelled back it won't be in my face when I'm playing," he said matter of factly.

To Hermione's shock that made a lot of sense.

"Please next time lock the door," she said.

"I will Granger however, I think you owe me a show," he said licking his lips.

"Listen you prat," Hermione spat, "Just because you were stupid enough to leave the door open does not mean I owe you anything," she yelled.

"Alright fine," he said returning to getting ready.

Hermione turned to leave but stopped and retorted, "Oh Malfoy…break a leg please," she snapped.

Draco laughed grabbing his shirt and he had to get to the Slytherin locker rooms for their warm up and his pre-game talk.

00000000000

Hermione walked excitedly with Lavender trying to find a seat with her housemates as everyone impatiently waited for the match to begin.

The noise was deafening the crowd all chanting for their favourite house.

Eighty nine percent of the crowd was chanting Gryffindor as the rest for Slytherin.

Gryffindor and Slytherin banners flew high and proud in the sky.

"Ouch!" someone yelled.

"Sorry," Hermione apologized.

"Hermione wait for me," Lavender whined as hoards of students were rushing to get to a seat.

"Come Lav, take my hand," she told the blonde.

Lavender grabbed Hermione's hand nervous that the very excited Gryffindors might trample her.

"Where can we sit Hermione?" Lavender asked as she looked around the packed stands.

"I don't know?"

Hermione scanned the stands to see if there were any available seats. A waving hand caught her eye. She smiled seeing Seamus motioning for them to come over.

"Come on I think Seamus saved us a seat," Hermione yelled to Lavender.

The two girls walked through the crowd apologizing for a few feet they stepped on; when they finally got to where Seamus was sitting, they smiled at their fellow housemate.

Hermione stared at the two empty seats.

"Are these for us?"

Seamus nodded leaning in he yelled to Hermione, "Dean said this seat is for you," he said with a smirk.

"Tell him thank you for me," Hermione said.

Seamus chuckled, "Go with him to Hogsmeade and he'll call it even," he yelled.

Hermione leaned in, "Tell him I'll think about it."

Seamus beamed nodding.

Seamus chuckled at Lavender's outfit.

"I can see who you came to see?"

Lavender giggled shrugging at his question.

Without a doubt looking at Lavender you knew who she supported Gryffindor but more importantly Ron. She had on a homemade scarlet shirt that said in bold white letters Weasley is my king! and his number # 2 painted on her face on both cheeks.

Padma who sat next to Seamus with his hand intertwined in hers asked around him, "Are you going out with Dean?"

Hermione and Lavender gave her an odd look. At the Costume Ball she was a bitch to Hermione and now she was acting as if they were best friends again.

"I don't know maybe," she said.

"You two would make a great couple," Parvati said happily.

Lavender giggled at Hermione's uncomfortable demeanor.

Lavender leaned in whispering, "You know you will have to let him down gently right?"

"I know he's such a sweet guy, I don't want to hurt his feelings."

"Tell him soon Hermione. It'll hurt him less than you dragging it on," she whispered.

Hermione nodded.

The girls went silent when the crowd erupted when the sound of the bell alerted to the start of the game.

"Hello Hogwarts welcome to the first match of the season," Luna Lovegood said in her dreamy voice.

"It's Slytherin vs. Gryffindor," Lee Jordan announced next to Luna.

"And now Hogwarts here is your Slytherin team," they said together.

A sparkly green snake appeared out of nowhere. The snake slithered snapping its jaws at the crowd. The crowd oh and ah you could almost hear the snake hiss. The menacing snake snapped its jaws again his tongue darting out slithering back and forth.

A streak of green broke through the snake making it go up in smoke as two members of the Slytherin team flew around the pitch fast as lighting.

The rest of the team shot out from an entrance from under the pitch as they flew around the pitch working the Slytherin supporters into a frenzy.

The professors gave the team a huge applause while Snape clapped furiously trying to hide his pride of his houses team.

"Beaters Goyle," Lee Jordan roared.

Goyle sped through the air his fist in the air making the crowd go crazy.

"And Crabbe," Crabbe dashed towards his place giving his fellow beater Goyle a hit with his bat as they got the Slytherins on their feet.

Luna and Jordan called out all the names of the player as they ended with, "And Chasers Vaisey, Zabini and Parkinson."

Blaise spiraled in the air as he flew closely to the Slytherin section giving them all hi-fives making the girls swoon.

Pansy flew through the air throwing her jet-black hair over her shoulder. Pansy made history this year being the only female player of Slytherin.

Pansy flew next to Blaise as she chanted, "Malfoy! Malfoy! Malfoy!" she yelled pumping her fist in the air.

The Slytherins all chanted Malfoy's name as the rest of the school joined in even some of the Gryffindors.

"You want him? Well here is the seeker and Slytherin captain, Malfoy," Luna yelled.

The Slytherin house went mental as Draco flew out onto the pitch and did a few spirals dazzling the crowd on his new Firebolt.

"Malfoy! Malfoy! Malfoy!" everyone screamed.

Draco pumped his fist as he flew around the air.

Hermione gasped pointing at the Lion appearing.

"Look it's the Gryffindor team's mascot." she yelled.

The Gryffindors screamed waving their flags in the air.

A huge sparkly scarlet lion appeared in thin air as the beast silently roared, its teeth commanding attention. Everyone gasped when the mascot pawed at the Slytherin section.

"And now here is the best team in the world," Lee began.

"Mr. Jordan," McGonagall warned.

"I mean here is team --- GRYFFINDOR!" Lee and Luna screamed in excitement as a streak of scarlet dashed out into view.

The crowd screamed while the Slytherin stand boo-d.

Three team members enthralled the audience with acrobatics on their brooms showing their precision and skill.

"Here are your Gryffindor team chasers Demelza, Thomas, and Weasley," Luna yelled.

Ginny and Dean dashed out onto the pitch doing a few spirals earning gasps from the crowd as they narrowly missed each other.

Hermione and Lavender jumped out of their seats screaming for Ginny. Ginny turned to them giving them a wave taking her position.

Dean stunned Hermione by flying to the Gryffindor section and throwing a rose her way which she easily caught.

This earned a scowl from Draco.

Lavender squealed with excitement as questions from girls around her asking if she is dating him.

Dean gave Hermione a wink earning a blush from Hermione as he sped off to his position.

"Keeper Ronald Weasley," Lee Jordan yelled.

Lavender jumped up and down screaming louder than anyone as Ron threw a kiss her way as he did a quick warm up with his broom.

Luna and Lee announced the rest of the team members.

Ginny and Ron flew to the Gryffindor section grabbing their wands they shot fireworks into the air earning cheers from their house.

Ginny pumped her fist in the air as she chanted "Potter! Potter! Potter! Potter!"

The crowd got on their feet, clapping and chanting Potter.

"And now here he is Gryffindor seeker and team captain. A man who needs no introduction, The leader who defeated he-who-must-not-be-named, the chosen one, lover of all even muggle borns," Lee dramatically moved his hands as he said his introduction although it felt more of a speech.

"Mr. Jordan!" McGonagall screeched.

"Sorry Professor," he whispered.

Dumbledore chuckled behind his hand.

"Potter!" Luna and Lee yelled.

The pitch shuddered with a roar of applause from the crowd as Harry flew out onto the pitch. He moved so fast a blur of scarlet is all that the crowd could see.

"Harry!" Hermione and Lavender screamed for their friend in support.

Seamus screamed, "There he is the best seeker in the world and he's ours!"

The Gryffindors screamed in agreement at Seamus's words.

Harry did a spectacular spiral as he weaved in and out of his players giving them hi fives as he passed them.

"Potter! Potter! Potter! Potter!" the crowd chanted.

This earned glares from the Slytherin players.

The team took their positions as Madam Hooch blew a whistle for the teams to be alert. She stood on the ground below them.

"Alright you lot I want a clean game from all of you and I mean all of you," she glared at the Slytherin team who gave her an evil smirk.

Madam Hooch sighed knowing they would break the rules.

Madam Hooch blew her whistle as she released the quaffle and the game was on.

"And the quaffle is released," Lee Jordan announced.

Ginny caught the ball as she weaved in and out with Dean by her side.

"Come on Ginny come on," Lavender yelled.

"And Weasley has the ball, she throws it to Thomas. Oh Thomas dodges a bludger, he throws the quaffle to Demelza."

The crowd gasped at Ginny who nearly missed the Slytherin chaser. "Oh Weasley almost hits Vaisey. Demelza throws it to Weasley and she throws it to Thomas and he takes a shot and he scores!" Jordan screamed.

Gryffindor cheered with excitement, however short lived when Slytherin took control of the quaffle.

"Zabini has the ball, oh he almost hits Wealsey, he throws to Parkinson," Luna yells and she gasps when Pansy kicks Ginny in the shin sending her flying.

"Why you little bitc---"

"Miss Lovegood!" McGonagall screamed.

"Sorry Professor," she said softly, "Penalty for Gryffindor," she yells happily.

The Gryffindor mascot roars with happiness as letters glowed above the lion.

Thanks Parkinson

"Go Gryffindor!" Sirius and Remus yelled their flags in the air no doubt showing whom they were rooting for.

"You are supposed to stay non-biased," Snape snapped.

Sirus ripped open his coat showing Snape his shirt that read Gryffindor Rules!

Severus shook his head with a chuckle at Sirius's childishness as he returned his attention back to the game.

"Pansy fakes left than a right and takes a shot and scores one point for Slytherin!" Lee yells but with sadness in his voice.

The Slytherin snake snapped at the lion and did a dance of happiness and above the snake white letters glowed.

Gryffindor sucks

Dumbledore frowns yelling at the snake, "There will be none of that."

The snake bows its head in shame.

"Zabini takes a hold of the quaffle, he throws it to Parkinson. Oh an interception by Weasley look at her fly she can really move. The Slytherin chasers are right behind her. Will she make it?"

"Go Ginny Go!" Hermione screamed.

"Gryffindor scores!" Luna screamed.

The thunderous roar from the crowd shook at Hermione's ears as she screamed for Ginny.

"This is what you call a game," Lee yelled.

After a half an hour the game turned in the Slytherins favor as the score now Slytherin 100 and Gryffindor 98.

The snake currently is doing a victory dance, which looked as if it is doing the running man but without legs. As big bold letters flashed above it Weasley is our king as the Slytherins sang along. Referring to Ron who let two quaffles pass the goal.

The Lion stuck up its paw giving the snake the finger as letters flashed 'Suck my paw' above it.

"Watch your conduct there is children present!" Dumbledore yelled.

The lion bowed its head as he growled at the laughing snake.

"Parkinson might score," Luna yelled but she screamed with happiness as Ron slapped the quaffle away from the ring, "No score a great save by Ronald Weasley!" she yelled.

"Nice save Ron!" Hermione and Lavender yelled around their hands.

Ginny and Dean weaved back and forth up the pitch. To the shock of everyone, Goyle sent a bludger Ginny's direction.

"Ginny watch out!" Hermione yelled.

However, she did not hear it as the ball hit her broom sending her flying through the air.

"Oh god!" Lavender screeched in horror as Ginny plummeted to the ground.

"Your wand! Ginny use your wand!" Hermione screamed.

Harry flew racing through the air to get to Ginny but it was obvious he would not get to her in time.

Ginny screamed as she tugged at her wand. However, her wand was stuck in her pocket.

Hermione took out her wand and screamed, "Wingardium Leviosa ."

Ginny screamed covering her eyes preparing for the fall. However, it never came as she felt herself floating back into the air. Ginny looked around in shock as her broom hovered by her.

Ginny scanned the Gryffindor stand and smiled brightly at Hermione seeing that Hermione had saved her.

Ginny hopped back onto her broom waving a thank you to Hermione.

"Kick their ass Gin!" Hermione yelled.

Ginny rushed back to get back into the game as Dean threw the ball in her direction, which she easily caught. Goyle sent another bludger her way however, this time Ginny ducked and as if lighting, she dashed to the goal.

"She may score," Lee yelled.

"Go Ginny Go!" Luna screamed.

The two announcers bounced up and down watching Ginny streaking to the goal with three chasers on her tail.

"Gryffindor scores!" Luna yelled, "It's 99 to 100 one more point and Gryffindor ties with Slytherin."

The Gryffindor stand roared with pride.

Hermione and Lavender chanted and their shirts turned to read Weasley is our Queen and they pointed at their shirts screaming with joy.

Ginny laughed at her friends shirts as she got back into the game.

Harry clapped for Ginny, "Way to go Ginny!"

Ginny blew him a kiss as she got back into the action.

Draco growled as Thomas almost got another point.

"Goyle, Crabbe!" he screamed at his team-mates.

The two beaters gave their complete attention to their captain.

Draco made a signal with his hands. They had developed this system when they had gone to America last year and saw a baseball game. They could talk on the pitch without giving away any of their plays to the other team.

Goyle and Crabbe both chuckled, as they got ready. They set themselves up as they swung together at the bludger heading their way. The bludger took off and slammed right into Thomas.

The bludger hit Dean so hard that he went flying into the stands and, if it was not for the banners under the Ravenclaw stand it would have been worse.

"Dopplebeater Defence," Ravenclaw Terry Booth screamed pointing at the two Slytherin beaters.

The Ravenclaws booed at the two beaters who did not give a damn.

Everyone gasped as Dean rolled onto the grass looking like a bloody mess.

"That was a Dopplebeater Defence --- You motherfuc---," Lee roared.

McGonagall placed her hand over his microphone and said, "One more time and we will find another announcer Mr. Jordan is that clear," she sneered.

"Yes Professor," he said.

The Professors quietly laughed at the boy.

"Oh no!" Hermione gasped at Dean falling to the ground, "Is he okay?"

"Yes Madam Promfrey's got him. But bloody hell, that means were one chaser down," Lavender groaned.

Harry growled as a bludger almost hit Ginny again.

Harry scanned the pitch for the snitch and smiled when he caught a flash of gold. Harry took off rushing to catch it.

Draco took off after Potter as they both raced to get the snitch before the other did.

However, within seconds they lost sight of it.

"Damn it!" Harry said.

"What's wrong Potter, getting tired?" Draco teased.

"In your dreams Malfoy," Harry growled.

Draco chuckled looking for the snitch.

Hermione scanned the pitch, "Where is it," she whispered and gasped when she saw a flash of gold.

"Harry!" Hermione screamed.

Harry turned his head to Hermione and beamed when she pointed.

"There it is!" she screamed.

With lighting speed, Harry took off in its direction with Malfoy hot on his tail.

The snitch took a dive as both seekers dived for it.

"They’re going to crash," Padma shrilled.

"Get it Harry!" Colin Creevey shrieked earning glares from his housemates as they covered their ears.

The two seekers were speeding to the ground fast and furious, as blurs of green and scarlet were the only thing that anyone currently could see.

Malfoy glanced at Potter as if he were mental. They were going to crash into the ground.

Draco quickly pulled up a second before crashing as Harry maneuvered his broom to turn at the right moment.

"Come on Harry! Come on!" Hermione yelled as Harry flew mere inches away from the snitch.

The whole crowd were on their feet cheering Harry on. Malfoy was speeding to catch up with Harry but the crowd knew the five seconds Harry had on him he could never catch him now.

"He's got it!" Luna screamed, "Potter got the snitch!"

"Gryffindor wins," Madam Hooch said as she blew her whistle.

A roar from the crowd shook the pitch with their cheers.

"They did it!" Hermione and Lavender screamed as they jumped up and down happily.

The Gryffindor team all huddled around each other as they pumped their fists in the air as Harry pointed at Luna and Lee for the final score.

"Gryffindor wins!!!!!!!!! Slytherin 100 and Gryffindor 249!" Luna shrieked with happiness.

Ron and Harry hugged one another as they both screamed with happiness, "We won!"

Ginny flew towards to Harry leaping from her broom and into his lap earning a kiss from her boyfriend.

The Slytherin team quickly left the pitch.

Dumbledore lifted the microphone to his mouth and smiled, "Wonderful!!! Gryffindor congratulations but let's give a big round of applause for Slytherin who played a most excellent game."

The crowd clapped with courtesy for the team as Dumbledore spoke his words.

Soon the crowd screamed Gryffindor.

Hermione stood clapping for her friends when all of sudden all cheering stopped as Malfoy zoomed into view. To the shock of the entire Gryffindor team Mafloy spoke.

"Potter!" he yelled.

Harry turned around glaring. "What do you want Malfoy?"

"Good game!" he said.

Harry's mouth dropped in shock. The whole team was stunned at the words that came out of Malfoy's mouth.

Dumbledore beamed at the boys words.

"Maybe next time we can beat you. I mean if you didn't catch the snitch we would have won," he said with a smirk.

Harry shook his head, "But I did."

Draco raced to where Hermione sat and said, "Hey Granger, the Slytherins and I are throwing a party in two weeks. Want to come?"

Hermione's mouth dropped in shock.

"What? And why are you throwing a party?" she whispered.

"Just because, come on Granger…house unity and all and plus it's in the head dorms." he smirked.

"Malfoy you ferret," she snapped.

He chuckled, "I try so I'm inviting you and you can invite anyone you want."

"Do I have a choice?"

Draco rolled his eyes at her, "Yes, but it'll be fun! Dumbledore said it's fine. So you want to come to a real party or are you scared?"

"I'm not scared," She sneered.

"So you'll be there."

Hermione gave him a curt nod.

"Good I'll see you there," again said to Harry, "Nice game" as he flew towards the locker rooms.

Malfoy flew to Blaise who sat on his broom waiting for him smirking, "You dirty bastard."

"I knew I could get her to come," he snickered.

The two Slytherins laughed as they went to their lockers to change.

The Slytherin Party

Hermione stood in front of her mirror wondering if this was either a good decision or the stupidest decision she ever made in her life.

"What the hell am I thinking," she whispered, "It's a Slytherin party," she sighed.

Hermione tied a ribbon in her hair making her hair into a low side ponytail. She had used a small bit of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion to make her hair sleek and shiny.

She picked up her tube of her tinted lip-gloss smoothing it onto her lips. Hermione lifted her make-up brush to place a bit of blush on the apple of her cheeks. However, she decided against it as her cheeks were already pink from blushing.

She could not believe she was going out in public dressed as she was. The dress her mother had bought her the summer before school was perfect for an occasion such as this.

Her hands shook as she peered at herself in the mirror; she wore a strapless pale blue silk dress, which stopped at her knees. The dress showed off in her opinion her best assets, her legs.

She tied a thin sliver bow just below the breast area.

Hermione grabbed a pair of sliver flats and carefully placed them on. There was no way in hell she would wear heels.

Hermione took one last look at herself as she made sure was ready. Hermione felt her ears making sure her diamond earrings her parents had bought her a few Christmas's ago were on her.

Hermione breathed in deeply as she had to go to the Gryffindor common rooms to get the people she invited.

She thanked Merlin for Harry's spell it hid everything about her pregnancy.

Slowly opening her door only to stop dead in her tracks to find their common room buzzing with a few Slytherins who stood in their dresses and suits. They all chatted and drank as music blared out the walls.

Malfoy nearly dropped his glass at seeing Granger opening her door.

All conversation stopped as everyone stared at her.

"Wow" Theodore Nott said which earned a slap from his girlfriend Lisa Turpin of Ravenclaw.

Hermione blushed at the gazes from the boys in the room.

"Um I'll be back Malfoy. I'm going to get the people I invited."

Malfoy nodded.

Hermione closed her door placing her locking charm on it a she walked to the portrait and out the door.

When the door closed Vincent Crabbe spoke, "Fuck! Who knew Granger had that body?"

A Slytherin boy chuckled mimicking the size of her breasts, "Did you see those knockers?"

The boys laughed but the girls glared, "You're a git," she snapped.

"Oh come on Pans," Harper laughed, "It's just an observation."

"Look you lot, even though she's Gryffindor she's a girl and we don't like it when guys say disgusting things about us."

"Why did you invite her anyway?" Theo asked Draco.

He shrugged, "Dumbledore said I should. It's her dorm and you know to promote house unity," he said behind his butterbeer.

Blaise nudged Draco giving him a look that said “you may be too late”.

0000000000

Hermione finally got to Gryffindor tower looking around to see if anyone who was not in Gryffindor was around. When she was sure, the coast was clear she tapped the portrait.

"Password," the fat lady asked.

"Bertie Botts every flavoured beans," she whispered.

The fat lady swung her door open.

Hermione slowly walked into the room smiling at her friends that she had invited.

"Hi guys," she greeted her friends.

Neville gasped in shock at Hermione.

Seamus whistled in appreciation.

"You look amazing Mione," Ginny squealed at her friends look.

"You look brilliant," Dean Thomas said as he reached for her arm.

Hermione smiled at him. She decided it would not hurt to ask him to be her escort to the party. Of course, Hermione had explained to him that she did not want to date anyone now. They were just going as friends. In addition, he gratefully for Hermione understood.

"Thank you, you look great too. You're going to catch every girl's eye," Hermione teased fixing his lapels.

"Thank you," he blushed.

Hermione looked around at the people she invited.

Hermione smiled wickedly. He never said how many people she could invite.

There, standing in their best dress clothes were Harry and Ginny. They were dressed in matching black. Ron and Lavender stood hand in hand. Ron stood proudly by Lav dressed in a casual black suit and Lavender in a pink party dress.

Also going to the party was Seamus with Padma, Neville with Luna, Parvati, Colin and Dennis Creevey and of course Dean.

"Is this all that's going?" Harry asked.

Hermione smirked, "Not even close."

"Hermione how many people did you invite?" Ron asked with a laugh.

"Well he never said how many people I could invite."

The crowd laughed as a knock on the portrait alerted them to someone being there.

When Neville opened the door, his mouth dropped. Their corridor filled to the brim with people.

Neville recognized a few of them from their year but from Ravenclaw.

Hermione looked around making sure everyone was here.

"Hi everyone," Hermione greeted them.

"Thanks for inviting us Hermione," Mandy Broklehurt excitedly thanked her.

"Yeah it was nice of you Granger," Stephen Cornfoot said fixing his tie.

"It's nothing. He said I can invite whomever I want. Plus this will promote house unity and we’re going to have a great time."

Waiting in the hall was Micheal Corber, Kevin Entwhistle, Anythony Goldstein, Su Li, and Morag McDougal.

"I heard Slytherin parties are wicked. People go mental at them," Luna excitedly told Neville.

Terry Booth stood in a causal suit with a blue dress shirt.

"Well are we ready to party?" Terry said.

"We just have to wait for the guests from Hufflepuff than were ready to go."

Harry chuckled, "Bloody hell Hermione, I can't wait to see Malfoy's face."

A yell from a group of people behind the lot already there alerted them to the Hufflepuffs arrival.

"Sorry we’re late," Zacharias huffed, "but you know girls, they take forever."

Hermione smiled nodding to Justin Flinch-Fletchly, Wanyne Hopkins, Negan Jones, Ernie Macmillan, and Laura Madley who were all dressed and ready to go.

"Well it's time to party," Hermione said, "Follow me," she pointed the way.

The crowd cheered as they followed Hermione to the head dorms.

000000000

Draco stood with his drink wondering when Granger would get back when the portrait door opened to Hermione and Potty and Weasel standing with a huge smile on their faces.

"Hi we’re all here," she said happily, "Come in guys," Hermione spoke out the portrait. To the Slytherins shock people poured into the room.

No longer is this going to be a Slytherin party.

Zacharias yelled, "Party!" as he dragged a keg of muggle beer in.

Terry Booth whooped while carrying a case of muggle beer.

Justin pushed his way through the crowd saying, "Never fear the fire whiskey is here."

Whoops from not only the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors cheered, but so did the Slytherins.

Crabbe ran up to Draco with a bottle of fire whiskey in his hand and yelled, "Man these guys sure know how to party," while he downed a gulp.

"Bloody fuck," Draco whispered in surprise.

Blaise chuckled nudging him, "She got you mate."

Draco chuckled with him as they drank their drinks watching the room fill with non-Slytherins.

Draco turned his eyes to Hermione who had a bright smile on her face giving him a nod as she drank her pumpkin juice.

"Turn up the music---Let's Dance!," Hermione yelled as she pulled Dean to the dance floor.

The room cheered as the guests danced to the beat.

After three hours, the room filled with people, and the party even spilled into the halls. Hermione knew that the word must have gotten around the school and more people that she did not invite crashed the party.

Hermione giggled seeing that mostly everyone was completely sloshed except for her.

Hermione walked through the crowd to get some pumpkin juice.

She giggled seeing Ginny and Harry snogging in the corner. Ginny sat straddling Harry's lap as she sucked his face.

'Harry must be really pissed' Hermione thought, 'He'd never kiss her like that in public unless he was drunk.'

Lavender was nearly dry humping Ron on the dance floor as Ron had loosened his tie thanks to loads of fire whiskey. His hands were on Lavender's bum as he, to Hermione's horror, was sucking Lavender's tongue.

She quickly turned away, 'that was not a good image,' she whined.

Dean to Hermione's amusement was in the corner snogging the daylights out of a pretty Ravenclaw.

Neville and Luna were dancing on the dance floor with to Hermione's surprise Goyle and Parkinson.

Finally getting to the drinks Hermione fanned herself, it was hotter than hell in the room.

Hermione grabbed a ladle and poured a cup of pumpkin juice. She was about to drink it when Draco stopped her and pulled it away.

"Hey!" she yelled trying to reach for it.

Draco leaned into her and yelled, "It's spiked!" With the music as loud as it was they had to yell to hear one another.

"Oh thanks --- the party is a success!"

"Who in the hell are all of these people?" Draco yelled.

Hermione shrugged," I have no clue!" she yelled.

Draco chuckled, "You look nice Granger."

Hermione blushed as his eyes ran all over her body.

"Really nice," he licked his lips as his eyes fell onto her ample breasts.

"Malfoy!" she screamed.

"Yeah," he said around his drink.

Hermione snapped her fingers getting his attention, "My face is up here," she teased.

"Really? I wasn't looking at your face," he smirked.

Hermione lightly slapped his arm making him laugh.

"You’re drunk," she scolded.

"Just a little," he lightly slurred.

"Am I the only one who isn't" Hermione questioned.

"Yup but at least you'll remember everything in the morning," said Draco giving her a finger wave.

"True," she agreed.

After what felt as if it were an eternity of silence between the two, Draco finally broke it.

"Want to dance?" he asked her.

She shrugged and nodded at him, "Okay," she said.

Draco grabbed her hand leading her to the dance floor before she could change her mind.

A heavy beat techno song blared, as the room filled to the brim with people dancing, drinking, snogging, screaming and just plain going mental.

Malfoy nudged Hermione as they walked through the crowd, "Isn't that Longbottom?"

Hermione gave Neville an amused smirk as she stared at Neville who had gold powder all over him. He stood only in his pants his shirt off as girls screamed at him trying to touch his body. He clearly was sloshed when he jumped on a table, screaming with his hands in the air, "I am Neville Longbottom! I am a golden god!"

Hermione cracked up into Draco's shoulder.

Draco chuckled yelling, "Alright Longbottom!"

Neville gave him thumbs up before being dragged down onto the couch and being snogged by Luna earning whoops from the crowd.

Colin Creevey danced between Slytherin's Astoria Greengrass and Millicent Bulstrode.

Draco nudged her, "Looks like Creevey is going to get laid tonight."

Hermione nudged him yelling, "Don't make me vomit."

He laughed lacing his hands in hers as they kept moving to the middle of the dance floor. When they finally got to the middle of the dance floor Draco pulled her to him as they moved to the pulsing beat.

Hermione chuckled seeing Seamus and Padma dancing as if they were two crazy people.

Draco pointed to them giving her a “what the fuck?” look.

"At least they’re having fun," she yelled.

He nodded in agreement.

Draco gasped at the sight in the distance, as Blaise was snogging not one, but two girls at the same time.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"Blaise is really going to get lucky tonight --- look!" he pointed.

Hermione gasped, "Oh my god I know them! That's Parvati and Romilda."

"Theu’re Gryffindors right?"

"Yes?" she yelled back.

"Well its look like they are going to have a Slytherin in them tonight," he teased.

Hermione lightly slapped him making him chuckle pulling her to him as they danced.

Hermione moved her body sensually loosing herself in the music. She swayed her hips, arms she rolled her head making her hair swish back and forth. Hermione danced with joy and abandon forgetting whom she was dancing with.

Draco stared at her watching her body slither as if she were a snake. Draco noticed the more she danced, the lovelier she became.

Hermione yelped as Seamus accidentally pushed her into Draco's arms.

"You okay?" he asked his breathe close to her cheek.

"Yes I'm fine," she said breathlessly.

She slightly pushed him away wanting to keep on dancing. However, he pulled her to him making her body come flush against his.

"Malfoy," she questioned against his body.

"Shhh just dance with me," he whispered in her ear.

Hermione shrugged deciding what the hell, she could hate him tomorrow.

Soon they were actually dancing close enough to feel each other's breath on each other.

Draco pulled his head back to look into her eyes, as they never lost the beat.

Both of their eyes glazed over as their closeness was obviously affecting them.

"Granger I ---," Draco uttered nervously.

"You alright Malfoy?" she asked concerned why he stopped dancing.

Her eyes widened as he leaned in to give her kiss, but before he could capture her lips he was pulled away by a very angry Harry.

"You fucker what do you think you’re doing?" he slurred.

Harry was about to hit him but Hermione stopped him.

"Harry don't," she pleaded.

"What are you doing Malfoy?," Ron said his arms around Lavender.

"We were just dancing Weasley."

"Dancing? That was dip humping," Ginny hiccupped.

"That's dry humping Gin at least we weren't practically having sex in the corner."

Draco chuckled behind his hand at Hermione's words.

"I asert that," Harry spoke.

"That's resent Harry, I resent that. Why don't you two go back to your dorms already?"

"No I think ---" Harry stumbled slightly, "I think you’re rightm come on Gin let's get your sexy ass to the tower."

Ginny giggled stumbling a bit with him.

Ron looked at Draco with his best glare, "You even think of touching her I'll fucking snog you --- wait no I am going to to ----oh what the hell touch her," he screamed happily going back to Lavender.

Hermione turned to continue her dancing with Malfoy when Daphne Greengrass jumped into his arms saying, "You promised you'd show me why they call you the Slytherin sex god Draco."

Draco's eyes caught Hermione's, his brows furrowed questioningly as she had a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Hermione did not know why it hurt as much as it did seeing Daphne with Draco, but it did hurt.

Draco looked at the drunken girl in his arms, "Daphne I was dancing with Granger."

"It's alright Malfoy go ahead dance with her," Hermione said about to walk away when he stopped her.

"No Granger we can dance some more," he pleaded holding her hand.

Daphne chuckled saying, "Like I need permission from you mudblood," she said as she roughly pushed her to the ground.

Hermione gasped as she nearly fell to the ground, and if it was not for Seamus catching her, she would have fallen.

Draco growled, pushing Daphne roughly making her stumble into a boy behind her.

"Ow!" she whined.

"What the fuck did you do that for?"

"Mione, are you alright?" Seamus asked as he held Hermione in his arms.

"You okay?" Padma's concerned voice reached her ears.

"Yes I'm going to my room. I'm really tired."

"Alright night," Seamus said going back to dancing with Padma.

Hermione pushed her way through the crowd, as a few boys groped her on their way to her room.

When she finally got to her room, she did her un-locking spell. She was about to close her door when a foot stopped it from closing.

Draco stood there looking at her with apologetic eyes.

"I'm sorry ---"

"You don't have to be sorry Malfoy."

"Maybe we can finish our dance?" he asked hopefully.

Hermione smiled, "I don't think so," she said sadly.

"Maybe some other time we can finish our dance?"

"I don't know. Maybe, look I'm tired Malfoy have a good time," Hermione closed the door.

Draco stood outside her door his head against it. Grief written all over his face, he was so close to telling her.

Draco turned the back of his head against the wall as he wondered what he was going to do now.

To his annoyance, Daphne came strutting up to him.

"Hi Drake want to dance with me?"

Draco took a big gulp of his beer and shook his head, "No sorry. I'm going to bed, I'm tired."

"Want me to come?" she flirtatiously asked.

Draco chuckled shaking his head, "Don't think so. Sorry Daph."

"Why?" she seethed.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but well I guess you will, but I am not interested in you."

Daphne gazed at Granger's door and glared, "Don't tell me you like that mudblood," she sneered.

"Don't call her that!"

"You do," She laughed harshly, "You like the book worm."

"Fuck off Daphne," he said.

"What is it? An experiment to see if you can shag her?"

"Maybe…what's it to you?"

"Be prepared for your popularity to be non-existent."

"Shut it! If I wanted to know about being popular why in the hell would I talk to you? The only reason your popular is the guys here know your legs don't close," he sneered.

"She'd never let you touch her," she sneered throwing her hair over her shoulder as she walked away.

Draco walked to his room putting his wards up as he took off his clothes lying in his bed he groaned at the sound of the shower. His heart and other parts of him jumped knowing just a door stood between him and Granger.

Malfoy closed his eyes dreaming of his brown-eyed girl as the beat of the party blared in the background.

0000000000

Week 30

Hormone sat in transfiguration; she loathed the class she had next. She wanted transfigurations to last forever because in five she would have to head to potions.

She dreaded potions for three reasons.

1.) Some of the ingredients in the potions made her queasy. 2.) Professor Snape is her professor. 3.) Her partner is Malfoy for the rest of the year.

Harry and Ginny stirred Hermione out of her thoughts.

"Mione you okay?"

Hermione blinked shaking her head.

"I'm fine I'm just tired."

"Come on we have to get to potions," Ginny said.

Hermione stood gathering her things, she walked with her friends to Potions and groaned when she spotted Draco talking with his friends she hated that she was stuck sitting next to him for the rest of the year.

Hermione smiled at her friends before moving to where Malfoy sat. She slid into her seat pulling out her parchment and quill.

"Well Granger you're looking un-tidy," he said looking at her disheveled appearance, "Maybe you should have ran a comb through your hair this morning."

The Slytherins all laughed at his words.

Blaise nudged his friend giving him a look that said “you are an idiot”.

She just rolled her eyes turning back to her parchment. He went back to his old self after the party, being nothing but a prat to her. She had hoped he would change after that night. However, she was not that lucky.

Draco frowned when she did not retort, he wanted her to say something. However, before he could say something Snape came barreling into the room.

"Open your books to page 434."

No words came from the mouths of the students just the sound of pages turning; everyone did what the professor told them to do.

"Today we will be brewing a draught of peace," the professor barked.

He glared at the class sneering, "This is an easy draught to brew. However, follow the instructions. As all potions and draughts brewed in my class the directions are important. If you do not follow it to the letter the potion will be dangerous. Do you all understand me?"

"Yes Professor Snape," they all said.

"If the draught is not the colour it should be you will not drink the draught. Is that understood?"

"Yes Professor Snape," Everyone said.

Snape turned to Neville speaking directly to him, "Longbottom if you need help ask me. I do not want you blowing up my station understood?"

"Yes sir," he said in a small voice.

"Get to work all of you," he barked.

Everyone turned on their Bunsen burners as they started their draughts.

Half an hour into class Hermione stirred the ingredients carefully. Malfoy had shocked her by taking over the preparing of the ingredients. Maybe it was because some of the ingredients were not safe for her to handle.

Draco sat on his stool cutting the hellebore. Glancing at his notes he carefully cut the ingredient making sure he did not over cut the hellebore.

Draco thanked Merlin that he had something to do and it kept him busy. At least if he kept busy he would not think about the brown haired Gryffindor stirring their cauldron.

Hermione fanned herself as the heat from the cauldron's flame was currently making her sweat.

"It's so bloody hot, "Hermione lightly whined.

Draco rolled her eyes, "Take off your bloody cloak as I did," he said returning to his hellebore.

Hermione took off her cloak placing it on her stool. She did not have to worry anymore, as she was now using the spell Harry had given her for hiding her bump.

Hermione leaned over to look at her notes unknowingly giving Draco a good view of her bra-encased breasts.

Draco's mouth hung open as he continued cutting the hellebore.

A frown formed on Hermione's face as she thought annoyingly, 'He sure is taking his sweet ass time.'

Hermione sighed fanning herself, 'Why did he have to be slow today,' she thought.

"Malfoy are you finished?" she asked annoyingly never taking her eyes off her paper and never halting her stirring.

"Oh yes, I'm almost done," Draco quickly spoke.

Draco face turned red when he heard snickering. He dropped his head realizing that Blaise had caught him staring at Hermione.

Blaise nudged him as he whispered in his ear, "I don't blame you for looking, she's got nice tits."

Draco glared at his friend, "Shut up" he growled grabbing a handful of hellbore.

Hermione looked up from her paper gasping as Draco flung the hellebore into the cauldron.

"Malfoy no not yet!" she screamed.

However, it was too late the cauldron exploded as the two went flying to the floor.

"Hermione!" her friends screamed.

Hermione sat slumped against the wall next to Draco.

A huge fire was currently roaring into the air almost hitting the ceiling of the dungeons. Screams of fear were echoing through the dungeons as the fire roared as if an inferno.

"Silence!" Snape roared.

Snape turned to the fire taking out his wand he flicked it yelling, "Extintor" as the fire that roared peeled with an extinguishing spell.

Draco lay on the floor his head killing him since the explosion sent him flying into the wall.

Draco and Hermione's friends rushed to their sides all concerned for her.

"Mione are you okay?" Ginny asked looking at her tummy.

Hermione moaned blinking gasping at her head.

"Ow! My head," she whispered.

"Are you okay," Harry asked motioning with his eyes to her stomach.

Hermione nodded "I think I'm fine I just hit my head. However, I need to go to the Hospital wing."

They nodded.

Draco stood shakily walking to her he wanted to make sure she was okay.

Before he could ask her if she was all right, Hermione spoke, "I swear Malfoy if it rained brains you wouldn't get wet."

The Gryffindors in the room burst out laughing at her jab.

Draco glared, "Look Granger I made a mistake."

"Well this mistake could a have killed me and the---nimrod" she stopped turning her head.

Draco's eyes widened at what she was saying.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

Ron sneered, "Wow the bouncing ferret saying sorry…be still my heart."

"Ronald," Hermione carefully stood while scolding him.

Draco growled, "We can only dream Weasel."

Blaise and Pansy snickered, as Weasley's face flamed red at Draco's taunt.

Snape evaluated his dungeons seeing everything was fine as he breathed in preparing himself for what he would see when he turned around. Sure enough as he expected, where his station used to be in its place was a black station burnt to a crisp.

He turned to his two students happy that they were okay, however his features changed to annoyance as he approached them.

'Why does this always happen' he thought.

Snape sneered swinging his scornful face to Hermione.

"Well Miss Granger I see you've done it again," he growled.

Hermione's mouth dropped she could not believe it. He was blaming her!

"I didn't do it I was trying to warn---."

"That is enough Miss Granger. Five points from Gryffindor."

"That's not fair," she shrieked, "I did nothing wrong."

Snape glared, "Well tell that to my station!" he roared.

Hermione winced looking at the potion station was completely incinerated. The charred station made a burring stench that permeated the room.

Hermione swayed a bit, as she was a bit uneasy, but she had to defend herself.

"But I didn't do anything. I was trying to warn him he put the hellbore in too soon---."

"Ha! Flimsy excuse how dare you accuse Mr. Malfoy for your wrong doing."

Hermione's lips trembled as she started to cry shocking the class and the professor.

Her friends all felt sorry for her as they all knew it was the hormones working overtime on her body. These days she was sensitive to everything, one word could send her off screaming in anger, or crying into her pillow.

"But I didn't do anything, this is unfair," she cried into her hands.

"Miss Granger get a hold of yourself," he snarled, his black eyes betrayed his voice. He felt horrible for making her cry.

"I will not, you are deducting points from my house for no good reason. I did not do anything wrong," she cried.

Draco felt his heart ache that Snape believed she was the cause of the accident. However, watching her cry made him feel like an arse. He had to do something.

To the shock of everyone, Draco spoke up in Hermione's defense.

"It's my fault Professor Snape," he said.

The whole room gasped in shock at Malfoy's words.

"What?" Snape's head snapped towards him, shock clearly written on his face.

"She is telling the truth. I put the hellbore in too early, I was the cause for the accident," Draco said softly.

Snape growled, "I would expect this from Longbottom but not you Mr. Malfoy. You could have gotten yourself killed and worse you put Miss Granger and the rest of your classmates in danger because of your carelessness. I am very disappointed in you."

Draco lowered his head to his feet in shame.

Ron stood with a joyful smile on his face.

"Ten points from Slytherin and while I loathe doing this I give five points back to Gryffindor."

Hermione weakly smiled.

Snape looked at Hermione, "Potter take her to the Hospital wing---" Snape turned to everyone, "get back to work all of you!"

Everyone turned back to his or her draughts.

Harry carefully helped Hermione as he wrapped his arm around her helping her out of the room.

Snape cleared his throat, "You will go to the spare lab station and complete the draught all by yourself. Miss Granger will be graded by your performance so you better get an outstanding understand me?"

"Yes Professor," Draco said walking to the station and starting the draught over again.

"Oh and Mr. Malfoy do not think of doing poorly. Whatever you receive, Miss Granger will receive two grades higher than you will. Understand?"

Draco growled, "Yes Professor," as he cut the hellbore.

Hogwarts Corridors

Harry slowly walked with Hermione down the hall to the hospital wing.

"Hermione I think we may have a problem," he said nervously.

"What is it?" she asked.

"You know when Madame Pomfrey looks you over she may discover that you are---."

Hormone's eyes widened "Bloody hell I didn't think about that."

Harry stopped her, "Maybe it's a good idea she knows at least if anything happens you could have quick medical attention."

Hermione smiled, "I hope she will not tell anyone."

"As long as you tell her not to she won't. I trust her, she would not tell anyone."

Harry carefully ushered Hermione to the hospital wing hoping that he was indeed right.

The Temporary DADA Professor

Hermione sat in Defense against the dark arts trying to look interested but her body was killing her. She needed to go to her room and relax, maybe do some meditation.

Ron and Harry looked equally bored as Remus instructed them on protection spells that they already mastered.

"And that is how the spell is done class."

Remus placed his chalk down and dusting his hands of chalk. Remus stood his back almost against the chalkboard looking at his class nervously.

"Class I have something to inform you on, as you all know of my infliction with being a lycanthrope unfortunately it has been causing me to lack in my preparation of classes so I am delighted to announce you will be having a temporary professor while I am going through my changes."

Everyone whispered at the news.

Hermione's hand shot up concerned, "Will this mean you will be leaving us and hand the position to the temp---"

He smiled at her concern, "No Miss Granger, Professor Dumbledore has agreed this will be the best thing for not only me but for you students it will give you two styles of teaching."

Harry waved his hand in the air as if he was a lunatic.

Professor Lupin chuckled, "Yes Mr. Potter?"

Harry placed his hand down and asked, "Who's our new teacher?"

Cries of “yeas!” and “tell us Professor” rang throughout the room.

Professor Lupin put his hand up to silence them as he assured them, "Tonight before dinner the Headmaster will introduce you to your Professor."

"But Professor Lupin, why didn't Headmaster Dumbledore introduce us to our new professor this morning?" Ginny asked.

"Because Miss Weasley, he just agreed to take the position this afternoon."

Murmurs were in the air before Professor Lupin dismissed the class.

000000000

Dinnertime

Hermione, Harry, Ron, Lavender and Ginny ran as fast as they could. They were about to miss the beginning of Dinner and the introduction. They had lost track of time as they were visiting Hagrid.

Hermione gasped for breath leaning against the wall.

"Hermione come on," Harry waved to her.

Hermione quickly ran the last couple of feet to the great hall coming to a halt when she ran into Ron.

"Ron what's the matter?"

"Oh my Merlin," he rasped out.

When they stepped around Ron into the Great Hall, they froze at what they were seeing.

"What the hell?" Hermione gasped at the man sitting next to Dumbledore and Professor Lupin.

From the looks of everyone in the Great Hall they were also wondering what the new guest was doing sitting at the staff table.

Professor Dumbledore frowned at them, "Please take your seat so we can start dinner."

The three quickly moved to the Gryffindor table, their faces slightly pink from embarrassment.

When they sat at their seats Ron leaned into Harry and Hermione hissing, "What the fuck is he doing here?"

"I don't know maybe he is visiting," Harry guessed.

However, Hermione sat there with a grim look on her face, "I don't think so guys I think he's---"

The Headmaster cut off her words speaking to his students, "Attention students before we begin our dinner I must announce that from now on Professor Lupin will be taking a few days off to focus on his condition every month and so he has asked if I can hire a temporary DADA teacher until he returns each month. So I am very pleased to announce that your new Professor for the time being will be Professor Lucius Malfoy."

Dumbledore beamed waving his hand to the long blonde haired man.

Gasps and silence filtered through the great hall.

Lucius stood up giving the students a curt bow.

A roar of happiness came from the Slytherin table.

Hermione glanced Malfoy's way and realized as he sat there with his mouth slightly jarred, he was just as surprised as everyone here was.

Although cheers came from the Slytherins, faint clapping came from the rest of the houses.

The awkwardness was interrupted by rage as Harry stood quickly knocking over his pumpkin juice shaking the table slightly.

George and Fred placed their hands on the table to stop their cups from spilling.

"No!" he screamed, "how could you? Of all the bloody people, why him?" he yelled at Dumbledore.

Silence came over the Great Hall as if time stood still.

Dumbledore sighed knowing Harry would not take this well.

Hermione turned to look at the professor's tables, stared at Mr. Malfoy, and was shocked to see the look on his face was shame.

Hermione grabbed Harry's arm "Harry calm down," she whispered trying to pull him to sit down.

"What the hell are you saying calm down? He's a murdering bastard and he's going to be our professor, are you mad?" he roared.

Hermione grabbed his hand "Harry stop it! You’re making a scene," she said watching as everyone was turning to look at them.

"So what Hermione?," Ron growled, "everyone knows what kind of man he is," he hissed at the eldest Malfoy.

Hermione on the other hand was not sure, "Harry, Ron, please we should give him a chance,"

"What?" Harry yelled, "are you shitting me?" Harry spat out not giving a damn that spittle was hitting Hermione, and neither did Hermione, this was not the time to worry about spit.

"Harry please listen to me," she begged trying to make him listen.

"He made our lives hell Hermione hell, and I am not talking about teasing shit like Malfoy did. He tried to not only kill me but you as well remember," Harry said trying to make her listen to reason.

Hermione stood fury in her eyes, "I remember! I was there when he tried to hex me you arseshole," she roared.

"Than how can you say give him a chance?" Ron yelled.

"Because Dumbledore gave him the position! If Dumbledore trusts him then we should give him a chance!" she yelled.

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with pride at Hermione's words.

Lucius on the other hand stared at the brown-haired woman in utter disbelief. He could not believe the woman who he had hurt so much was at this moment defending him.

"Hermione he can't change, do you think he'll ever think of you as anything but a mudblood?" Harry yelled.

The sound that followed shocked everyone, but most of all Harry.

Slap!

Harry held his face where she smacked him.

"Hermione?" Ron gasped.

Hermione's chest heaved, her eyes blazing. There was no doubt to anyone that she was furious.

"You ever call me that again Harry James Potter, and I will hex your fucking balls off!" she screamed.

"But it's true! He does see you as a mudblood," Ron snipped.

Before Hermione could reply, a voice roared shocking them, "That is enough!"

Licius Malfoy stood walking to them pushing Hermione behind him in a protecting nature.

Jaws dropped at his behaviour.

"How dare you call her that?" he seethed.

"You are fucking kidding me right?"

"Harry he is right, do not call her that," to the shock of Harry, Sirius had spoken.

"Sirius you can't possibly believe his act? It's bullshit!"

"Harry language, and it is not an act. Harry, give him a chance. I remember you didn't trust me."

"That's different," Harry glared.

"How is it different Harry?" Remus spoke, "Dumbledore choose him and I agree with his choice, now let it be Harry."

"You are all mad! I cannot believe this, he hates all of us, most of all muggleborns. He sees them as nothing but mudbloods."

"That's it! I told you to stop saying that word," Lucius sneered at Harry.

Harry laughed pointing at him giving Ron a look of disbelief. He could not believe the nerve of the git standing in front of him.

"Excuse me? This coming from the man who used the word as a second language?" Harry sneered.

"Yes I have used it but I don't use the word anymore, it is a disgusting foul word that I will not tolerate anyone using. I would think you, as her friends would never use that word."

"Listen here you bloody git," Ron snapped at the blonde, "she knows we don't mean it, don't you Mione?"

However, Hermione did not answer Ron turned to her frowning seeing the hurt in her eyes, "You do Mione, right?"

Hermione glared as she turned to Mr. Malfoy, "Thank you sir for defending me."

Lucius bowed to the brunette looking at her he kindly and responded, "Thank you for your words as well."

Hermione nodded saying, "I am looking forward to your class tomorrow Professor Malfoy."

He reached for her hand carefully, as to not scare her, and kissed the back of her hand carefully.

"I look forward to seeing for myself if your thirst for knowledge is true Miss Granger," he let go of her hand with a weak smile.

Hermione turned to her two best friends glaring she said, "I have suddenly lost my appetite. Good night."

Hermione stalked out of room.

"HERMIONE!" Ron and Harry went to follow her but Ginny stepped in front of them.

"Leave her alone," she hissed.

"Get out of the way Gin," Ron said.

"Haven't you done enough? Leave her alone!" Ginny said.

Harry turned to yell at Mr. Malfoy, however, he already returned to the professor's table.

Harry went to walk away but Ginny grabbed his arm stopping him, "No! Harry you will make things worse. She needs to calm down, let her be."

Harry frowned feeling guilty knowing he had hurt his best friend, he turned to look at Ron who had the same look of shame on his face.

Harry walked back to sit and eat however, he was not hungry as he just sat pushing his food around his plate feeling like a jackass.

At the exact same moment, a younger blonde Slytherin slipped out of the Great Hall to check on the head girl.

HEAD DORMS

Hermione wiped the tears that overflowed with her sleeve. Hermione stood in front of the portrait taking a deep breath before looking at the portrait to the head dorms, "Unity," she said.

The portrait did not hear Hermione, she huffed and slapped her hand on the edge of the portrait shaking it, infuriating the woman in the painting, "Do you mind? I am trying to sleep," she sneered.

Hermione kicked the portrait again, "Unity, Now open up you bloody bint," she sneered.

"Well I never, "she huffed opening the door.

She walked through the door but stumbled when the portrait purposely closed bumping it into her bum.

Hermione screamed in horror realizing she was going to fall on her stomach.

However, before she could fall she heard someone yell, "Pluma!"

Hermione tried her best holding her belly to brace herself for the pain to follow, but she fell on something soft. A huge feathered bed was under her.

Hermione immediately clutched her belly sobbing, "My baby! Oh god my baby."

"Granger?" a voice called but she did not hear it as she was sobbing holding her belly.

"Oh Merlin please not my baby," she cried.

"Granger are you okay?" Draco whispered.

Hermione did not hear him as she quivered in fear crying.

Draco slammed the portrait shut slipping his wand into his back pocket as he rushed to her side trying to snap her out of her frantic state. Draco felt her head, sweat was forming on her forehead, he swiped a matted piece of hair from her face trying to get her attention. However, that did not help at all.

Draco had to do something, she was hyperventilating, so he did the only thing he could think of and gripped her shoulders and shook her yelling "Granger!"

Hermione jerked back at her name being called looking at the familiar figure she blinked her tears away and finally he came into view, "Draco?" she whispered.

Granger calling him by his first name stunned him for only a second until Hermione stirred him out of his shocked state when she started crying again.

Hermione clenched at his robes in fear, "Draco my baby! I fell on my stomach what if it's hurt, I can't lose my baby I can't I can't," she gasped through sobs as tears fell.

Draco took her into his arms "It's alright. You didn't Hermione, I summoned a feather bed. It's alright I got you," he whispered bracing himself for her to push him away, however, to his surprise she returned the embrace.

Hermione gripped his body as if he was a lifeline, her face buried in his neck as she cried with worry.

Draco felt as if he was a pervy bastard here because she was scared for her baby, and he was currently having impure thoughts with her body wrapped around his.

Draco pulled away from her looking at her body he pulled out his wand. He needed to see her body, he knew at over 28 weeks she had to be showing and must be using a charm.

"Granger, are you using a charm to hide your belly?"

She nodded into his neck.

"What charm? I need to undo it so I can check you. Is that okay?"

Hermione told him the charm, and Malfoy said the counter spell and her belly swelled slightly.

Draco pulled away from her looking at her belly he did not see anything wrong, "I think you’re okay," Draco said.

"But you don't know that for sure," she cried.

"I know but Madame Promfrey will," he said.

Draco quickly said the charm to hide her belly in case anyone besides the nurse was in the wing.

Malfoy stood reaching down and scooping her up in his arms as if she weighed nothing. He quickly walked with her to the fireplace, "Take some floo powder and say Hospital wing," Draco said.

Hermione nodded scooping up a handful of floo powder and said clearly, "Hospital wing, Hogwarts."

Within seconds, they were at their destination coughing up green smoke.

Draco rushed into the room "Madame---Madame Promfrey!" Draco yelled.

The kindly healer walked out wiping her hands, "Yes what's…oh my Miss Granger are you alright?"

Draco shook his head, "No she fell on her belly Madame she needs to be checked out, um shit Granger she's going to know," he said in worry.

Hermione looked into his eyes, "She knows I had to tell her because of the incident in potions where I fell," she said softly.

He nodded.

Madame Promfrey instructed Draco to place her on the bed as she quickly got her things.

"Mr. Malfoy, please place a locking and silencing charm on the walls and doors," she ordered.

Draco quickly did as she instructed him.

Madame Promfrey looked at Hermione in concern, "What happened? And from what I've witnessed Mr. Malfoy knows of your condition?"

"She tripped somehow, and yes I do Madame, and I assure I have not told anyone and I won't until she is ready."

Madame Promfrey looked at Hermione in shock, "Hermione you aren't showing, how is this possible?"

"It's a charm," Draco said saying the counter spell as Hermione's belly swelled again, Madame Promfrey sighed in relief.

Madame Promfery removed her wand from her robe pocket. She lift Hermione's shirt slightly to expose her belly placing the wand over her belly, "Let's take a look Miss Granger," she said.

Hermione shook in fear at the wand being by her belly.

The kind mediwitch smiled shooing her, "It'll be fine. It is perfectly safe Miss Granger, I assure you. Just relax and you will feel a tingle. It is similar to a muggle ultrasound except the screen is in the air. Okay?"

Hermione weakly smiled nodding her understanding.

The mediwitch said a spell and a flash came out of her wand projecting a picture of the baby into the air.

Draco stood there in awe looking at the movement gasping he asked, "Is that the baby?" pointing to the moving object.

Madame Promfery smiled, "Yes it is and ---," she smiled down at Hermione and said happily, "Everything is fine Hermione. The baby is healthy."

Hermione cried into her hands with happiness, "Oh thank Merlin! If anything happened to my baby I don't know what I'd do."

The older woman pulled down her shirt and gave her a pat on the arm, "You know Miss Granger, I don't know how much longer I can keep this from the Headmaster."

Hermione sat up slowly frowning, "Please Madam, I don't want anyone to know yet."

She sighed, "I have kept your secret and I will until you are ready to deliver, but Miss Granger they will find out, from what I see with your due date you will deliver the baby at school."

"Please Madame I'm doing fine."

The medic witch shook her head, "I hope you are prepared for what is about to happen?"

Hermione frowned, "You think I shouldn't have my baby?"

"No Miss Granger it's not that, when the baby is due people will talk, the Professors no doubt will be furious," she warned.

"I have survived six years of taunts from the Slytherins, I survived Voldermort after that. Madam, I can handle anything that comes my way," Hermione said determined.

The woman smiled, "I believe you can Miss Granger," she said with pride, "I want you to come to me every week from now on for check-ups. You may see your muggle doctor but I want to examine you myself as well, do you understand me?"

"Yes I understand Madam."

"Good now you may go, Mr. Malfoy help her back to your dorms and well done with bringing her here, very wise."

He smiled proudly, "Thank you Madam."

Malfoy carefully helped Hermione back through the floo.

Stumbling a bit when they got back in, he helped her to her room.

Hermione opened her door turning she gave him a smile, "Thank you for helping me Malfoy."

"You’re welcome. Will you be okay from here?"

Hermione nodded, "Thank you again," she whispered.

"You’re welcome," he softly spoke just before she closed the door.

Leaning against the door he breathed in the air with the scent that was purely her still penetrating the air.

Draco shook his head in disbelief, "I am really turning into a git," he whispered going back to the great hall to finish his meal.

Defense against the dark arts and the Startling Prediction

Hermione twiddled her thumbs as she sat in Defense against the Dark arts waiting for their Professor.

Hermione turned to look at Harry and Ron only to see them both turn their heads from her.

Hermione sighed, they felt betrayed.

She lightly jumped at feeling Ginny's pat on her hand. She smiled at her red headed friend telling her silently that everything would be fine.

The doors banged open and in walked Professor Malfoy, his robes billowing behind him reminding them all of Professor Snape. He strutted to the front of his desk as he weakly smiled.

"Good afternoon class," he greeted them.

"Good afternoon Professor Malfoy," everyone greeted back.

"Today class, we are going to start where Professor Lupin left off ,at the use and defence against spells and curses."

Everyone gasped.

Hermione's hand shot up.

"Yes Miss Granger?" he pointed to her.

"Professor Lupin was on protection spells."

"Well I assumed he finished it Miss Granger?"

Before Hermione could respond, everyone yelled, "Yes!"

"Good now everyone turn to page 489."

Everyone quickly opened their books to the proper page where there was a list of ten easy spells. However, about half of the people in the room only could do maybe a few of them.

"Now can anyone here do two of the ten?"

Sixteen people raised their hands.

"Five of the ten?"

Ten people raised their hands.

Their Professor marked it down.

"How many of you can do eight of the ten?"

Six people raised their hands.

"Now who can do ten of ten?"

Three people raised their hands. They were Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Wonderful," he said walking to a closet and pulled out a metal dummy.

He looked at the three and pointed at Hermione, "Miss Granger please show us the blasting curse."

Hermione got out from her seat and stood about ten feet away from the dummy.

Raising her hand in a dueling motion she was about to say the spell when she stopped.

"Um Professor don't you think you should place a silencing spell?"

"Good idea Miss Granger, we don't want the Headmaster to hear it," he waved his wand putting up wards.

"Procede Miss Granger."

Hermione lifted her wand pointing it at the dummy as everyone leaned in his or her seats to watch her.

Hermione flicked her wand yelling, "Confringo!"

The dummy exploded into tiny pieces making everyone in the room back up in shock.

Professor Malfoy catched his breathe as he fanned the smoke that filled the room.

He clapped furiously, "Well done Miss Granger! Well done!"

The class cheered for Hermione making her blush as she returned to her seat. Lavender gave her a pat on the back as she sat down.

Professor Malfoy pointed to Harry, "Potter the vanishing spell if you please," he instructed.

Harry stood pointing to the newly repaired dummy, after taking his stance he screamed, "Evanesco!"

Everyone gasped in awe as the dummy vanished.

"Well done Harry," Luna Lovegood cheered.

"I say that was brilliant Mr. Potter," said Professor Malfoy in wonder.

Harry weakly smiled, "Thank you professor."

He than pointed to Ron, "Mr. Weasley please show us the Impediment Curse," he instructed.

Ron's hand shook nervously because of all the spells he had to do this spell. He sighed stretching his legs knowing he might have to jump out of the way of the moving dummy.

"Come on Ron you can do it!" Hermione cheered.

Ron smiled weakly at her as she gave him a curt nod, "Concentrate Ronald!" she instructed him.

Their Professor weakly smiled at the girl understanding why everyone called her the brightest witch of her age.

Ron breathed in as he pointed his wand at the dummy.

"Tell me when you are ready Mr. Weasley," Professor Malfoy said.

Ron took a minute before nodding to him. With a flick of his wand, the dummy hurled to Ron as he screamed, "Impedimentia!"

The dummy quickly stopped; however, Ron gasped for dummy had stopped so quickly that it made it flip in the air, and was about to hit the professor.

Professor Malfoy pointed his wand about to do the levitation spell but Ron beat him to it, "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Everyone stared in shock at the sight before him or her. The dummy floated above their professor as Ron carefully made the dummy move back down to the ground gently.

"Well done Mr. Weasley! Well done!" Licius clapped his hands making the most noise.

Ron weakly smiled as Professor Malfoy patted him on the back, "Well done son, well done."

Ron quickly took his seat blushing madly.

"Well done you three, ten points each."

The Gryffindors cheered for the three earning thirty points for their house.

Professor Malfoy stopped their cheering by raising his hand.

All noise ceased.

"Now class, as you've all just witnessed how spells and curses vary. Their strength and uses vary as well."

Their professor walked around the room commanding attention.

"To me there is no such thing as good or bad magic. It all depends on the heart of the witch or wizard. Yes there are spells that can do terrible things but it is only bad when the wizard or witch wants to use it for a bad purpose. Is that clear?"

"Yes professor," rang out through the room.

Harry sat in awe as his words made sense.

"I am not a stupid man, I know that a lot of you here do not trust me. I understand that during the war my alliances were with he-who-must-not-be-named."

Everyone shivered.

"But in time I discovered my flaws and I have changed my views. I am not perfect, I understand this and I know I have a long way to go still."

The students leaned forward in their seats mesmerized by their professor.

"I believe Professor Dumbledore hired me for one purpose, and that was to give you another point of view. I will teach you all that I know. I can help you all get into the mind of a dark wizard and prepare you for the real world. Because it is sad to say even though he-who-must-not-be-named is gone. There are still wizards and witches out there that must be caught and found."

Harry shook his head up and down agreeing with the man.

"I can teach you different spells and curses. I can help you defend yourself against them. Professor Lupin and I have worked together to come up with a curriculum for our classes that will blend both of our styles of teaching."

Professor Malfoy spoke in a low tone making them shiver.

"I hope all of you can give me a chance and I swear to you I will do my best to show you that I am a changed man."

The class stood cheering for their professor.

Draco looked at his father in pride and for the first time in a long while, he could be proud of being a Malfoy.

Professor Malfoy caught the eye of his son and gave him a smile and a nod, which he returned happily.

"Now Professor Lupin has written down that he wants to know if anyone wants extra credit. If so, he would need two people here to help plan and grade assignments. Would this interest anyone?"

Of course, no one raised his or her hands except Hermione. Hermione needed the extra credit so when she took the week off for maternity leave she would not fall behind.

"Wonderful Miss Granger and Draco --- I mean Mr. Malfoy meet me after classes."

Hermione groaned softly in agony.

"Now let's continue. Let me teach you to counter the blasting curse----."

One Hour Later

When they were alerted to the end of the class, everyone jumped out of their seats about to tear out of the room. However, the door closed on them. Everyone turned to see their Professor smirking.

"Thought you could get away without hearing your Homework did you?"

Chuckles and giggles reached his ears.

Professor Malfoy's voice carried to them.

"Your homework: I want to see how much you remember, so you will write an essay on how to counter the ten curses and spells in the book and if you think about cheating there is a spell on all your books to prevent you from viewing the answers. The book will just show you the ten curses and nothing else," he informed them.

Everyone moaned as they all left the class.

Hermione quickly walked her way through the corridors as piles of students filled the tiny corridors hurrying their way to classes.

Hermione happily walked to get to her next class. It shocked Hermione to no end of her excitement to get to Divination.

"Hermione!" Ron, Harry, Seamus, Lavender, Dean and Ginny yelled together.

Hermione turned smiling at her friends.

"You did not tell us you can do the blasting curse?" Ron said in awe.

"Oh so you two are talking to me again," she said with a playful huff.

"Come on Mione…we’re sorry," Harry and Ron, said in unison while making puppy dog eyes at her.

She chuckled grabbing their arms, "Why is it that I cannot stay mad at you two?"

"Because we’re such handsome blokes," Harry teased.

"Maybe," she laughed.

"But seriously Hermione that was bloody brilliant!" he said in astonishment.

"Why thank you Ron, you were brilliant too," she blushed.

Ron blushed at her praise, "Thanks."

"You got stronger Hermione," Harry told her.

Ron stopped in place making the lot stop with him.

"Hang on…you've seen her use that curse Harry?"

"Yes she used it when she and I broke out Sirius," Harry explained.

Everyone gave him a nod as they all walked to class.

Hermione reached into her pocket popping a few Bertie and Bott's beans humming happily to herself.

The fact that Hermione walked with a bounce in her step made her friends question if she was possessed.

"Hermione are you okay?" Harry asked.

"I'm fine why?" she asked.

"Well you’re happy you know what class we’re going to right?"

"Uh uh," she nodded.

Dean chuckled, "She is possessed."

Hermione shook her head, "No I just realized that I'm not giving Divination a shot. But I decided that I will give it a try and stop giving professor Trelawney a hard time."

"What brought this on?" Lavender asked.

"I read a book on divination this summer and it was just fascinating."

Ron gave his friend a “I should have known look”.

"I mean don't get me wrong I still don't believe that Professor Trelawney can see the future. However, I do think that there is something to the symbols and predictions. Over the summer Mum and Dad bought me a crystal ball, a scrying board and tarot cards. It was really fun and I have been practicing my tea reading as well."

"What did you find out from the tarot cards?" Ginny asked.

"Well if I read the cards right it says that I am going to die a horrible death."

"Not you too!" Harry said jokingly.

The group all laughed at her prediction as they quickly entered the classroom.

000000000

The class all sat in their chairs around their round tables waiting for their professor to begin. She was doing her usual clearing her mind exercise that she performed before every class.

Professor Trelawney took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"So far," Professor Trelawney began in her best dreamiest voice as she delicately fixed her shawl and continued, "this year we have freshened up on reading your crystal balls, scrying boards. Today we will freshen up on tea reading. Then we will learn how to use and read tarot cards."

Hermione beamed at Ginny.

"You have a tea pot, tea leaves and cups in front of you. Please make your tea," the professor instructed them.

Harry and Ron sat patiently waiting for Hermione to do it.

Hermione rolled her eyes after a minute realizing they wanted her to make it. Annoyingly she moved the teapot to her, placing a heating spell on the pot that quickly heated the water.

Hermione grabbed the tea leaves placing the leaves in the pot letting it steam.

"Honestly you two it's so bloody easy," she huffed.

After a few minutes, Professor Trelawney asked her class, "Are you all ready?"

"Yes Professor," the class said.

"Clear your mind while sipping the tea," she said in a serious voice.

This made half the class want to laugh.

"Remember to drink until the dregs remain," she informed them.

After they all drank, leaving the tea leaves the professor instructed them to swirl their cups around clockwise three times. Then she told them to turn the cup upside-down on its saucer, and wait for the last of the tea to drain away.

"And now my children take the cup from the person to the left of you. Now you are ready to begin your predictions."

The class read their books, quietly telling their predictions to each other.

Professor Trelawney roamed the class.

Hermione scanned her book looking at the images in Ron's cup.

"Come on Mione…I want to know it did not take me this long to figure out Harry's."

Her head snapped up giving him a scathing look.

"I mean you, Hermione, you did not take this long," he muttered.

Harry sputtered into his hand as Ron stuck his foot in his mouth yet again.

"Well I see a bull and an open book," she told him, "It says here that the bull means you will have an argument with friends and the open book means the answer to a question."

Hermione scratched her head trying to decipher the symbols, "So if I am reading this right a fight will lead to an answered question."

"Very good Miss Granger," Professor Trelawney commented from behind her, "I am thrilled Miss Granger that you are letting yourself go and embracing my class."

Hermione just smiled not wanting to say anything.

The woman turned to Harry making him squirm as her magnified eyes stared at him. Her thick eyeglasses that looked as if it were coke bottles made her eyes seem as if they were hubcaps staring at him

"Mr. Potter did you read Miss Granger's cup yet?"

"Um no," he nervously spoke.

"Well let me see it," said Miss Trelawney as her wandering hands attempted to find the cup. However, with her poor eyesight this made it very difficult.

Harry happily placed it in her hands.

"How come your cup has more tea than ours?" Ron huffed.

"The leaves choose the cup Mr. Weasley; it means that the leaves think Miss Granger needs to be enlightened more than you."

Hermione grasped Ron's cup. Pouring a bit of tea into it, she gave it a little sip. She thought this was very entertaining but she believed her Professor was going a bit overboard.

"Well let's see here," she gasped, "I say Miss Granger your cup is chalked full of symbols."

"Really?" Hermione asked around Ron's cup.

"Why yes we have a butterfly, a candle, a frog, a swallow, a dove," she informed her but the children sputtered with amusement when she accidentally stumbled.

However, Hermione looked intrigued.

The professor gasped at the cup, "And there's more," she pointed at the cup in awe, "I never seen this many symbols in one cup before. I see a gun, a candle, an oyster and a baby," she divulged.

At that Hermione spat out the tea, she had been drinking and coughed in shock.

Harry and Ron were both looking at the woman in utter awe.

Professor Trelawney did not see the girl almost choke on her tea as she continued.

"Do you have a family member who is pregnant Miss Granger?"

"I don't know," she said coughing.

"Fuck," Ron whispered as Harry's mouth opened and shut.

Ginny and Lavender both looked wide-eyed at their professor.

"Oh no it is not a family member it is you," she corrected.

Hermione's head spun.

The Slytherins who knew of Granger's pregnancy were looking at the woman in shock. Not believing she had correctly made one prediction.

"It's your future Miss Granger, well let's read this shall we…the swallow means love and new beginnings. A Gun means Anger and Sex," she said blushing.

Whoops came from around her. Hermione's head went back into her cup.

"Please do not speak I need to seek my inner eye," she dreamily said.

Ron rolled his eyes.

"An Oyster is passion and desire. A candle means there will be light upon an uncertain rocky path, help from friends. The Frog is the symbol of fertility, abundance, a disguised handsome/beautiful lover."

Ginny giggled behind her hand trying her best not to burst out laughing seeing Hermione's face turn white.

"A dove is peace and love and the child means pregnancy and new life. If I am reading this right a startling event will bring you a new life Miss Granger," the woman said her hands going into the air for affect.

"You will find yourself a handsome lover but he will not be who you think it may be. Because of the gun, I say someone you are not fond of but there is passion…oh yes passion!"

Hermione without thinking glanced over at Malfoy, whose brows shot up at her look. Hermione slowly turned back to her professor finding herself becoming dizzy.

"You will find peace and love with this man. The candle also says that it will be a rough road but with the help of friends, things will work out. The frog means abundance and fertility and the child meaning new life so you will want for nothing and you and this man will have a baby."

At that, Hermione saw her world go black as she slid down her chair.

"Hermione!" Harry, Ginny, Lavender and Ron yelled rushing to her side.

"Are you alright Hermione?" Ginny asked.

Everyone whispered and calls of get Madam Promfery rang out.

Everyone noticed Hermione's distress except for the Professor who kept examining the cup.

When she finally noticed she asked, "What happened? Is something wrong?"

Ron glowered, "She fainted you stupid bint!" he snapped.

"Oh well someone must take her to Madam Promfery," she informed them.

"I'll do it," Ginny said to her.

"Alright you may take her," she told her the girl still ogling the cup.

Ginny carefully did the levitation spell as she floated Hermione to the Hospital wing.

The tired brunette awoke with a red headed freckle faced Weasley staring right at her. Hermione's vision blurred making Ginny seem as if she was a huge figure. Hermione screamed in fright scaring the red head.

"Hermione it's me," she gasped out.

"Bloody hell," Hermione winced grasping her head.

"Ow…what happened?"

"You blacked out and I think you hit your head on the chair."

Hermione's eyes widened remembering divination.

"Oh god, that prediction."

Ginny giggled, "I wonder who she was talking about."

"Ginny that's impossible," she huffed.

"Come on Hermione I'm not thick that clearly is about you and ----"

"Shhhh, no it's not there is no way that is possible."

"I don't know Mione, it sounded pretty close."

"No!" she sneered.

Ginny shook her head, "I read the book there is other meanings for the symbols I read it over and it could mean a enemy becomes a friend and a new life will begin," Ginny spoke sweetly.

"Really?"

"Hermione you cannot believe anything that woman tells you. It's just a coincidence that's all."

Hermione sat up completely, "So can I leave soon?"

"Yes Madam Promfrey wants to make sure you’re completely fine than she'll release you."

Hermione gave a soft sigh looking out the window.

"Professor Trelawney was right about one thing Hermione," Ginny informed her.

"What's that?"

"New life, soon your life will change Hermione."

Hermione gave her a smile as she leaned back waiting for Madam Promfey to examine her.

Week 36

Hermione lay on her bed looking at her tummy, it was huge. She felt like a whale and looked like one. She could hardly walk anymore, and her feet hurt. When people would ask why she was walking that way, she would just say back pains.

Her Doctor had told her that she would start getting contractions here and there, which does not mean she would be going into labour. It felt weird. Once a few days ago, she had thought she was going to labour. She flooed to her parents who rushed her to her doctor, turns out it was false. So now, she had to monitor them.

Hermione picked up the kiss that was on top of her stomach sighing she popped a kiss in her mouth. She sat on her bed bored out of her mind.

Harry, Ron and Ginny were at Hogsmeade having a grand time, they had asked to her to join them. She could not as the weight was killing her back, just going to classes was hell on her feet and back.

Hermione popped another kiss in her mouth when her door opened with a bang, making her jump, as kisses flying everywhere.

"Granger do you have your potions notes ---"

"Don't you know how to knock Malfoy?"

Malfoy's mouth was on the floor looking at the changes in her body. He had not seen her in a while because of the increase in his assignments and the fact that Hermione spent almost all her time in her room.

He spoke in a shocked voice, "Bloody fuck! You're fat."

Hermione glared, rolling on her side to sit up she growled, "Go away Malfoy."

"I did not know you were a fucking whale," he chuckled, "Hey Shamu," he felt his mid drift while he burst into laughter.

Hermione was not laughing as she looked at him her lips trembling, "I am a whale," she cried into her hands.

Draco's laughter died on his lips. He did not want to see her cry.

"Oh shit! Granger I'm sorry."

She sniffed looking at herself in her mirror, "I'm fat and ugly and I'm as big as a whale," she cried.

"Granger I'm sorry I called you a whale."

"Yeah right! You're not sorry you prick," She cried harder.

Draco ran his hands through his hair, "Granger please do not cry…you look very pretty."

"You lie!" she wailed turning away from the mirror in disgust.

He weakly smiled at her belly she looked adorable. She had a glow about her, and she was a beautiful sight.

Draco shook his head "No I mean It," he lifted her chin to look into his eyes, "You look very pretty Hermione."

She shook her head not believing him.

Draco smirked, "You are you know, so pretty you're glowing."

"Really you think so?" Hermione looked at him wanting to believe what he was saying.

"You're beautiful," his words did not have the reaction he wanted.

She cried in disbelief, "You lying bastard!" she screamed.

Hermione pushed him out of the room slamming the door in his face.

Draco rubbed his nose where the door slammed into his face.

He shook his head, "Even when I'm honest she doesn't believe me."

Draco walked back into his room.

When he arrived at his room, a laughing Blaise who had heard everything greeted him.

"Shut up mate," he growled throwing a pillow at Blaise making the dark skinned Slytherin laugh harder.

38 weeks

Draco came walking into the head dorms. He had finished his rounds, he decided to do it even though Granger and he made a deal.

Now she was in no condition to do nightly rounds.

He came to a halt seeing Granger lying on the couch. Her hair fanned out, her hand over her eyes and a textbook open on her chest.

The firelight made Hermione's hair shimmer; she looked as if she had a halo surrounding her, she looked so angelic.

Draco walked to her staring at her belly. For some reason he felt an urge to touch it, he carefully laid his hand on Granger's belly making sure he would not wake her. He smiled at the feel of her belly.

He nearly screamed when he felt a small flutter against his hand.

His eyes widened realizing it was the baby.

"Bloody hell," he whispered kneeling he laid his hands on her stomach feeling the baby move and kick.

He chuckled, "You are going to be a quidditch player."

Draco gasped when he heard Hermione speak, "Ron says the same thing."

His eyes wided as he stared at her, pulling his hands away he mumbled an apology.

She smiled, "You can touch it you know, it won't bite you."

She had no idea what possessed her to say that. She should be telling him to get the fuck away from her, but for some reason she felt okay with it.

Draco gave her a weak smile as he softly rubbed his hand over her stomach.

He jumped a bit feeling the baby, "Wow he's a kicker huh?"

"Yeah he's been kicking for about ten minutes."

"You've been awake?" he asked embarrassed.

She nodded, her eyes falling.

"Why didn't you say something?"

"You looked so intrigued I did not want to bother you," She yawned behind her hand.

Draco's brows furrowed at her yawn.

"Did you have a rough day?"

"You have no clue…just walking around this castle makes me tired."

"Well you'll give birth soon and that'll be that," he rasped out staring in awe at her belly.

Hermione smiled weakly at his gentle touch. She was scared shitless these days. She would be giving birth soon and had no doubt the world would know that Malfoy was the father of her baby.

She did not want him or his family to hurt the baby. Hermione knew his father had changed however, it is one thing to be a teacher of a muggle but to have a muggle bore your grandchild is an entirely different story. She just hoped when they fiound out they would leave her alone.

Hermione watched transfixed as Draco touched her belly, "You will be giving birth soon right?"

She nodded, "Doctor said I'm about to pop."

"Is the father going to be there?" he asked as he caressed her belly.

"No," she gasped at his caressing.

"Why won't you tell me who it is? I already know you're pregnant and I did not tell anyone."

"Look I know you want to know but there's a reason I want this a secret."

"Why?"

"The father and his family will not be happy because of how they feel about muggle borns."

Draco nodded his head in understanding.

Hermione stood slowly, she did not want to get into it with Malfoy.

"I'm going to bed, goodnight Malfoy."

"Night Granger," said Draco sweetly as he watched her walk to her room.

She closed the door before she could hear him whisper to himself.

"Whoever it is he's a bloody git," Draco sulked relishing the fact that he had been able to touch her.

Draco took one last look at her door before he went to bed as a realization came over him that he wanted to be with her and if the baby came with the package than that is the way it had to be.

Draco pulled the covers over him as he made a promise to himself he would treat her better and let her see the real him.
