A/N:Rated M to be safe because there is some talk about rape (nothing graphic though)

This story is really AU. The biggest changes: Voldemort died in the first war against Voldemort, so the second war never happens. Harry's parents live. Hermione is adopted by muggles but doesn't know she's adopted and her biological parents are magical.

Also a disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters.

Thank you SilverFoxen for the inspiration!

Prologue

"Minerva? Are you okay? You've been in the bathroom for over an hour."

"S-Sorry M-Molly, I'll be out in a m-minute."

"What's going on, Minerva? It sounds like you're crying." Minerva lets out a deep sigh and takes a couple of deep breaths. She needs to calm down.

"Molly, c-could you get Lily and find a- a quiet place to talk?"

"Sure." Molly leaves and is back with Lily a few minutes later.

"I've got Lily here with me now. We can talk in my bedroom."

Slowly the bathroom door opens and Minerva walks out with tearstreaked cheeks, her hand clutched around some sort of plastic stick. Lily gasps and immediately moves closer to put her arm around Minerva's shoulders.

"Let's get you to the bedroom so we can talk."

Molly looks confused. Clearly, Lily is aware of something Molly isn't privy to.

"Molly, could you get Minerva some water? I'll ward the doors so we can have privacy." Lily took charge while Minerva sat down on the bed, seemingly completely lost. Molly arrives with the water a few minutes later. She hands the water to Minerva when Lily finishes warding the room. She pries the plastic stick out of Minerva's hands, she can't stop the gasp that leaves her mouth when she turns the stick.

"Can somebody tell me what's going on? Why are you crying, why is Lily so shocked by that stick?"

"Alright Minerva, do you want to bring Molly up to speed or would you rather I do it?" Lily asks gently while sitting down next to Minerva and beginning to rub her back.

Minerva looks up with tears in her eyes. "I- I don't think I can. You can tell Molly, but I need a promise from the both of you that this conversation stays a secret. Even from your husbands."

"I promise."

"Of course."

"You know Minerva was caught by Death Eaters a couple of days before Voldemort died?"

"Yes."

"Long story short, one of the Death Eaters that stood guard has raped Minerva. This plastic stick is a muggle pregnancy test and it's positive. Minerva is pregnant with a Death Eater's child." Molly sat down on the other side of Minerva and pulled her into a hug.

"I wish you would've told me, I could have helped you through this, I'm going to help you through this." Minerva curls into Molly's hug and starts crying again. Molly looks at Lily.

"How long have you known?"

"Since the beginning. I found her in the cellar at Malfoy Manor shortly after it happened."

"Nobody else knows?"

"She asked me not to tell anybody." The three of them sit on the bed for a while, Molly holding a sobbing Minerva while Lily keeps rubbing Minerva's back. Finally Minerva speaks up.

"Thank you for listening. I appreciate your offers of help but it won't be needed."

"You're gonna raise this kid alone?"

"I'm not going to raise this child, Lily." Molly looks a little shocked at Minerva.

"You're going to terminate the pregnancy?"

"It is not this child's fault it is conceived through such an act of violence. Therefore, I will not terminate the pregnancy. I do however feel I could never love this child the way it deserves to be loved. So i've decided I will hide my pregnancy and when the child is born I will anonymously leave it at an muggle orphanage."
