Hermione loved potions. Sure having Snape as a teacher was less than ideal, but it reminded her of cooking with her mom.
Before she found out she was a witch every night after school her mom would say to her what should we cook today Maya? and the two would set about making dinner.
Hermione favorite was always soup and bread. The smells of the baking bread mixing with the fragrance of the soup would always remind her of home.
Today in potions they were making Amortentia, the strongest love potion in the wizarding world. As she added the final ingredient, she was overwhelmed with Draco's musky scent, new parchment, freshly mown grass, and garlic soup with fresh baked bread.
As soon as the last smell reached her nose she was overwhelmed by nausea and turned to run out of the classroom.
As soon as she moved towards the door snape was standing right in front of her asking her sneering and opening his mouth to presumably ask What on earth she thought she was doing when she vomited all over his shoes.
With a look of utter disgust snape called for Draco to take Hermione up to the hospital wing and told everyone else to start cleaning up.
As soon as they left the classroom Draco dropped his look of faux disgust and immediately replaced it with one of concern. "Nia, what's wrong? are you ok? of course your not what a stupid question"
"Draco. stop rambling. I'm fine. I have no idea what happened but I feel much better now."
"Well, let's get you up to the hospital wing anyway." With that he swept her into his arms ignore her protests and casting a disillusionment charm strong enough to turn them both almost invisible.
They didn't' see a soul, living or dead, on their way up to the hospital wing and once they were in front of the heavy oak doors? Draco set her down, removed the disillusionment charm, and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. Firmly setting his look of disgust back onto his face, Draco swung the doors wide.
Madam Pomfrey was shocked, to say the least when Draco strode into her domain, followed by a still slightly pale Hermione. Draco, voice full of scorn said "see ya, Granger, hope you puke your guts out"
He turned on his heel and walked out the door, leaving it wide. Madam Pomfrey bustled over to the door and shut it murmuring all the time about" that boy" and "so rude."
She bruskly turned to Hermione, who had seated herself on one of the beds, and said, "Now my dear, what seems to be the problem."
As Hermione explained the short tale Madam Pomfrey bustled around the room, pulling a sheet straighter here, tidying up bottles there, all the while nodding along.
When Hermione finished, completely leaving out Draco's actions on the way up to the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey asked her if she had experienced anything like this before. At Hermione's denying shake of the head, Madam Pomfrey nodded again.
"Well lay down dear and I'll run a couple tests"
Hermione kicked off her shoes and swung her feet up onto the bed she was sitting on. "Madam Pomfrey? Do you have an idea of what this might be? I've been racking my brains and can't come up with a logical conclusion"
"I have an idea deary but I hope for your sake I'm wrong" she wouldn't say anymore and only responded with a sharp but kind "I wouldn't want to worry you my dear." when Hermione questioned her further.
When Madam Pomfrey waved her wand over Hermione's stomach and whispered some words, far too quietly for Hermione to hear, a soft pink glow emanated from Hermione's stomach.
"What does that mean Madam Pomfrey?"
"Well my dear it means, to put it plainly, you're pregnant."
Hermione's mouth dropped open. "How… What.. but we used... You're joking. You have to be."
"I'm not dear."
Hermione burst into tears and Madam Pomfrey bent down to enclose the girl in a hug. Hermione sat up and hugged her back, crying relentlessly. For the next 10 minutes, Madam Pomfrey just sat there, gently rocking Hermione back and forth.
When Hermione's tears finally started to slow down, the matron returned to her brusk attitude.
"Now that you've had a good cry we need to decide what to do. You can stay at Hogwarts for as long as you want to. This isn't the first time this has happened and it most certainly won't be the last. As of now since it's so early you can easily hide it if you so chose. You'll need to take some potions with breakfast and dinner but otherwise, you can continue on as you have been."
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." after a short pause Hermione asked, "May I be excused for the rest of my classes today?"
"Of course dear." with that Hermione composed herself and made for the door.
As she reached for the handle Madam Pomfrey called out "If I may dear, who's the father?"
Quietly but firmly Hermione said "Draco Malfoy."
I'm writing this for NaNoWriMo so this should hopefully be done by Dec. w/ regular updates. Please tell me what you think so far
