Working On Us

Hermione was laid on her bed at her parent's house where she was now living. She was staring up at the ceiling with her hands resting on her stomach. If you looked at her you would not know she was pregnant but Hermione could see she had gained a few pounds around her middle.

When she had found out she was pregnant she had thought of different ways to tell Draco she had planned to buy some baby socks and leave them on the bed and see what he said or send him a letter with the ultrasound picture in while he was at work. Everything seemed so perfect and now everything was ruined. He had ruined her. He had ruined their life together because of one stupid drunken night. She was carrying his child and he had no idea. She didn't plan on telling him but could she keep it from him? He would see her around the ministry, Diagon alley he would see she was pregnant.

Hermione's mother brought her out of her thoughts by opening the door "Sweetheart; are you joining us for dinner?"

"I'm not hungry right now Mum; I'll get something later." Hermione said still staring at the ceiling.

"You have to eat Hermione; you're pregnant." Hermione's mother said walking to the end of the bed. She sat down on the end of the bed and looked at her daughter. She remembered the day Hermione got married; she looked radiant and stunning. The happy woman that Hermione was had now turned into a sullen and sad woman all because of her husband. Hermione's father had warned that he thought Draco was a "playboy; no good for his little girl" but Hermione's mother insisted they were in love and who were they to break them apart.

"I'm fine really Mum. I just need to be alone." Hermione said softy hoping to convince her mother that she was indeed fine.

"Alright sweetheart but make sure you do eat." Her mother said as she walked out closing the door.

Hermione was once again in her own world thinking about her life.

When she and Draco had first started dating she was 18. She went back to Hogwarts after the war insisting she got her education. Draco had also gone back, he didn't want to but his parents wanted him to do something with his life than be known as Lucius's Malfoy's death eater son. Hermione and Draco had been put together in most lessons and they started to talk over the next few months. Draco admired Hermione for her wisdom and her beauty that he had always noticed but tried not to. Hermione was taken by his charm and good looks even though she hated to admit it. They started dating in secret and Draco won Hermione over with his romantic gestures.

After they graduated from Hogwarts they decided to tell their friends and Family; mainly Draco's parents about their relationship. Hermione was worried how Ron and Harry would take it. She had dated Ron before the War but it didn't work out; she knew he still carried a touch for her and Harry was like an over protective big brother. He hated to see Hermione with any guy. When Draco and Hermione told Harry and Ron they sat their in silence for two second before Ron punched Draco in the nose. Hermione nearly hexed Ron for that and she didn't speak to him for nearly a month. Harry was shocked to say the least. Hermione Granger the muggleborn with Draco Malfoy the Pureblood who hated Muggleborns in love?

The next obstacle they had to over come was telling Draco's parents. It was no lie that the Malfoy's hated Muggleborns and now their son was in love with one. Draco was nervous and had paced all morning before they arrived at Malfoy Manor. He had told his parents in advance that he was bringing his girlfriend and he wanted them to meet her. They arrived and walked out of the floo to face Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. Hermione would never forget the face of Lucius Malfoy. Narcissa Malfoy looked at Hermione and then at Draco and then at Hermione. Draco squeezed Hermione's hand and then introduced her. Hermione nearly had a heart attack when Lucius Malfoy held out his hand to kiss Hermione's hand. Lucius's Malfoy; ex death eater had kissed Hermione Granger's hand, a muggleborn, Gryffindor Witch.

Hermione laughed at the memory. She and Draco would regularly go to Malfoy Manor for dinner with his parents. They had admitted they were shocked when they first found out but were happy as long as Draco was happy. Hermione also found out that Lucius was not all that bad. She would often have conversations him and also spend time with Narcissa.

Hermione and Draco lived together in Diagon Alley and both worked. Hermione at the Ministry and Draco at Malfoy Holding's. On Hermione's 21st Birthday Draco had surprised her with a trip to Paris. While in Paris he proposed to her. Hermione shouted yes and jumped on Draco kissing him for what seemed forever. They were married just after Draco's 22cd birthday in July.

After they were married they moved into Malfoy Manor. Hermione loved Malfoy Manor especially the Library; Draco joked that she only married him for his library. She had never been happier. Every time she heard some one call her Mrs. Malfoy she smiled with pride.

Hermione was broken from her thoughts again by an owl tapping on her window. She walked to the window and opened it and saw Narcissa Malfoy's owl sitting on the ledge. She reached over to the owl and took the note. Why was Narcissa writing to her?
