I'm goingto try to update at lease once a week if not more. And if I do go awayI'll try to update an extra chapter.

Chapter 1 – Lots of Surprises

It was a dark cold night at the Malfoy Manor and Draco was just about to settle into sleep. He changed from his all black clothes just into simple black silk boxers and a black wife-beater. He looked into the mirror and muttered a simple spell to get the gel out of his hair, that his father demanded he wear. He personally liked it better naturally, but no one defies Lucius so he wore it gelled. Giving himself a once over he decided that the summer had changed him for the best in the looks department, not that he always hadn't always been the hottest guy at Hogwarts but now he looked even better.

He had platinum blond hair that was just long enough so it glazed his eyes when it fell into his face. Silvery blue eyes and thin pink lips were contributing factors to his overall look. Quidditch had done him good too; his body was well defined and definitely looking good. He had only grown a few inches though and now stood at 6'1''. Though he mostly wore all black that didn't seem to make a difference, plus it flattered his complexion he thought. He definitely was going to get a lot more attention this year, all for the better.

Seeing as he was satisfied with his looks he decided to get some sleep so he could get up early and go shopping at Diagon Alley for school again. He was starting his seventh and final year at Hogwarts in a little less than a week; he could hardly wait to go. Getting into bed, shutting off the light and pulling up his covers he fell into sleep almost instantly.

All of a sudden his house elf, Slinky, came running into his quarters shrieking. He immediately got up and out of bed to see what was going on.

"Master Draco, Master Draco, come quick you must go to St. Mungo's." Slinky said.

"Slinky, what did I tell you about waking me up? And why should I go there at this time of night anyway?" Draco replied groggily.

"Slinky does not know Master Draco, the face...the face appeared in the fire and told Slinky to get Master Draco to St. Mungo's immediately."

"Alright, alright I'm coming calm down Slinky. Where do I go when I get there?"

"Again Slinky does not know Master Draco, the face only said..." Slinky got out before Draco cut her off.

"To get me to St. Mungo's immediately, I know...I know, I'm going. If there is no good reason for waking me up like this you're going to have a very angry master to answer to when I get back. You hear me?!"

"Yes, Master Draco...I...I hear you." Slinky said softly while slowly backing out of the room and dashing down to the house elf living quarters.

Draco went back to his bedside table and picked his wand up, muttering a simple clothing spell. He then walked to the fireplace in his room, took a handful of floo powder and was quickly at St. Mungo's.

Before he even got to the desk at the lobby, Mrs. Parkinson came running down the hall, grabbed him by his arm and started pulling him towards the elevator.

"Thank god you're finally here Draco, Pansy has been asking for you since she was admitted over an hour ago. We were beginning to think you weren't going to come to see your own baby being born." Mrs. Parkinson said with very much effort, seeing as she was out of breath from running.

"Pansy has been asking for me again? Oh god what this time...wait a second WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Draco screamed not caring he attracted the attention of the whole lobby.

"Pansy is in labor with your child Draco." Mrs. Parkinson said a little annoyed with his childish reaction.

"Did you just say PANSY is in labor with MY child?" The elevator doors shut behind them as they got in, leaving the lobby greatly disappointed they didn't get to find out what happened. "I didn't get her pregnant. She's a fucking liar and a bad one at that. I've never even had sex with her why the hell would she say it's my baby?"

"You two did have sex, though only once from what I got out of her. The time her father and yours said you had to out of obligation. Apparently the two of you didn't take the necessary precautions in doing so."

"We never...oh shit...that little bitch...where is she?"

"Like I said before she's in labor and has been calling for you. Don't you listen..." The doors opened Draco took off running down the hall looking into every room for Pansy. He was running so fast he passed her room and had to go back.

When Pansy saw him walk in she put on a pout and started whining. "Drakey, where have you been? We're going to have our baby and I want you to be here. Doesn't this mean anything to you?"

He sighed; he had long since given up on trying to get her to call him Draco. "Pansy don't even try to guilt me into caring, you know that I want nothing to do with you. You told me you were on the pill and that none of this would happen. Hell you even told me you would take a potion the next day just to be sure. Did you lie to me? Did you Pansy? Because if you did I don't think you have to worry about labor seeing as I'm going to kill you first!"

"Drakey, calm down. It hurts to know you don't want to be with me but now you have to, you have to Drakey, he's your son too and we're going to raise him together. We're going to get married as soon as school gets out and then we'll live together as one happy little family."

"To hell with you little fantasies Pansy. Why didn't you just get an abortion?"

"I love you Draco and I want to marry you and have a family with you and..." Pansy went on and on until Draco stopped her.

"No Pansy, those are your dreams not mine. I'm not going to fall into your sick twisted little trap..." Draco threatened before someone walking into the room cut him off.

"No, you're not going to fall into her trap but you're going to go along with it and you're going to like it. I won't have the Dark Lord's heir being brought up by a single depressed parent. No, he will have both parents around, there are to be no arguments with this arrangement." Lucius drawled and sent a glare at Draco.

"But father..."

"No, there's nothing more to discuss. Why don't we all calm down? I'm assuming Ms. Parkinson is under enough stress at the moment as it is."

"Yes, I am Mr. Malfoy thank you for you kindness."

"There is no need to thank me, the only thanks I want is for my grandson, the Dark Lord's heir to be raised and trained properly."

"I'll be delighted to Mr. Malfoy, don't you worry your son will be the best wizard yet to come." Pansy said smirking as she turned to his retreating back just before the door closed leaving the two soon-to-be- parents alone.

"Pansy..." Draco started in a warning tone before he was cut off by a scream from her and a nurse rushing past him to her side. The nurse felt her contractions and then turned to run out of the room. A few minutes later a doctor came in and turned to him.

"You're the father I presume. Would you care to hold Ms. Parkinson's hand while she's in labor? It usually helps relieve some of the stress."

"Yes I am the father but not by choice so I am going to leave and come back when you are all gone to have a little chat with my...ahem...friend over there, good day." Draco said then walked out of the room into the hall.

Hearing a persistent tapping on her window Hermione looked at the clock, which read 6:30 and got up to open the window. Hedwig flew in and landed on her trunk at the end of her bed. Tied to her leg was a thick roll of parchment. Hermione walked over and took the letter.

---------
"Hey 'Mione
it's Harry"

"and Ron"

"and Ginny"

"and them too. We're writing with a bewitched pen that writes what we say so we don't have to pass the paper around."

"That's enough Harry, Ron are you going to ask her?"

"I...uhhh...I..."

"Oh my gosh Ron just ask her already"

"Mione...uhhh..."

"Will you come to the Burrow? Is what my brother was trying to ask."

"Yeah, will you?"

"Cuz Ron is in loooove with you."

"Fred, George go away. I am NOT!"

"Of course you're not...that's why you have pictures of her all over your room and..."

"I'm going to KILL you!"

"Can you take this little argument into the other room? We're trying to write a letter here."

"So anyway, you can floo here anytime now. I think you should get this the same day we sent it so you can come tomorrow if you want. We're going to Diagon Alley soon too."

"So 'Mione just come you don't have to write back, we'll see you soon."

"And bring Hedwig with you."

"Bye"

"Bye...Ron would say bye too but he's in a very involved argument in the next room..."

---------

Hermione folded the letter back up carefully pondering what she had just read. Ron liked her, did she like him? Would it be weird now? What was going to happen? She decided not to think about that now, she'd pack. Gathering everything she was to take to the Burrow and then Hogwarts she used a simple spell to put it into her trunk and shut it.

There was no point in going back to sleep now so she went into her bathroom and took a shower. Coming out and wrapping a towel around her, she looked at herself in the mirror. She had definitely grown up this summer, her looks especially had changed. No longer was she a bushy haired, buck teethed, girl with no curves. She had transformed into something that was going to make guys turn heads to look at her.

Her hair had changed so now if she let it dry naturally it fell into soft curls about half way down her back. Sometimes she straightened it too, if she felt like it. Her eyes were honey brown and her lips were defined and a healthy pink. The buckteeth she once had were gone and in replace of them were straight pearly whites. And no longer was she without a figure, her body had filled out in all the right places. She was 5'7'' and her body fit her height perfectly. Also, she had started dressing a little more on the revealing side, though not like a slut. The guys at Hogwarts were in for a big surprise come the start of the term.

She walked out of the bathroom and went to change. Pulling on a red halter top and light blue capris she then turned attention to her hair. How would she wear it today? Finally she decided just to let it dry naturally so it would take less of her time and she could leave for the Burrow earlier.

Casting a spell to make her trunk small enough to fit in her pocket and slipping on a pair of dark blue thong sandals she went downstairs to say goodbye to her parents.

They were sitting at the table, each in their own world. Her father was eating his cereal and reading the paper. While her mother was eating a donut and looking over papers from her office.

"Good morning," Hermione said bouncing cheerfully into the kitchen. She made herself a bowl of cereal and sat down to join them.

"Morning 'Mione," her mother replied not even looking up from her work. That was starting to annoy Hermione. Her parents never even acknowledged her, they were in their own world. She was thankful to get away for the time being.

"Mom, Dad, I'm going to the Burrow today until the start of the term, then on to Hogwarts."

"Okay, we'll see you when the summer comes around then. Unless of course you want to come home for the holidays." Her father answered.

"No, hun she can't come home, we're going skiing with the Martin's remember?"

"Oh sorry, I forgot, guess we'll just see you this summer then."

"Okay, bye guys." Hermione got up and went to put her dishes in the dishwasher. She then went to the fireplace, got a hand of floo powder and was off.

She landed in the living room of the Burrow where Ron, Ginny, Harry, Fred and George were playing a game of Life. Harry was trying to explain it but he didn't seem to be getting through.

Upon hearing the noise they all looked up startled. Then when they saw Hermione their faces relaxed, until they saw how she changed. None of them knew what to say, they were all in awe at how different she looked. So they all sat there staring at her until she spoke.

"Hey guys, what's going on?"

"Oh my gosh, 'Mione you look great!" Ginny exclaimed getting up to give her best friend a hug.

"Yeah, 'Mione you look really hott," Harry said then when he realized what came out of his mouth blushed. But it made Hermione blush too.

"Ron, aren't you going to tell her how good she looks?" Fred asked his brother. But all Ron could do was sit there and stare.

"Ron?" Hermione said going over and sitting down between him and Harry.

"What? Uh yeah, 'Mione you look really good," Ron finally said after he got a hold of himself.

"Well thanks all of you but it's really nothing." Hermione replied bashfully. Inside she was jumping with joy that they liked it so much.

"Come on 'Mione," Ginny said going over to her and pulling her up, "I'll show you your room." The two girls left the room giggling and gossiping, leaving the guys to talk about how much Hermione had changed.

After a lot of wandering around St. Mungo's and a not so appetizing breakfast, Draco decided to sort things out with Pansy. He took his time in going back to her room, stalling as much as possible. Finally he was in front of the door, just about to open it, he heard the baby, his son, start crying. He opened the door and saw Pansy trying to quiet the child in her arms. He wouldn't stop crying or wiggling.

"I see that he's taking after me already. He obviously doesn't like you." Draco voiced his opinion, causing Pansy to snap her head up to look at him.

"What are you talking about Drakey of course he likes me." Pansy shot back, pouting and trying to look hurt.

"He's crying and trying to get away from you, don't think he likes you all that much. Obviously he got that trait from his father. By the way what did you name him?"

"I didn't name him yet, I was waiting for you to come back and pick out a name with me and then we have to pick out godparents too Drakey."

"Well personally I don't care because I don't want anything to do with him."

"Drakey, you heard what your father said."

"Oh yeah...well I guess...umm...how about..."

"Samuel? Sammy?"

"I guess that'll do, Samuel, what about a middle name?"

"Samuel Draco, just like yours after your father."

"And godparents?"

"Well I think Millicent should be the godmother because she's my best friend and Blaise is yours right?"

"Yea, okay Millicent and Blaise can be the godparents I'll go floo them."

Pansy giggled happily. "It's great, oh Drakey, he's ours, we have to start planning our wedding now." Pansy went into total bliss, lost in her thoughts of the perfect wedding while Draco went to floo Millicent and Blaise. All the while wondering how he even got himself in this mess in the first place.

Little did he know it wasn't his mess to be getting into...
