Okay so this is my first FanFiction and please review (Criticism is welcome just not to harsh). Have fun reading. (FYI it is set after the war and yes I know Lavender was mauled by Greyback in the movie but just ignore that and anyone else who's not supposed to be there but is).
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character only the story line.
Chapter One- The Storks Are Coming
Hermione walked backwards facing Harry and Ron as they went to their Advanced Transfiguration class.
"All I'm saying Ron is that you should study more and not expect to be able to copy off my essay's all the time." Hermione talked breathlessly, determined to win her argument with Ron.
"Hermi-" Harry warned to late as the girl in question backed into someone outside their classroom doorway.
"Watch it you filthy little Mudblood." A voice growled from behind Hermione as she spun around to face the blonde-haired Prince of Slytherin; Draco Malfoy.
"Watch it yourself Malfoy." Harry retaliated, his hand reaching for his wand.
Draco smirked at the Golden Trio, "I'm not the one who's consorting with Mudbloods and Blood Traitors Scar-Head."
Ron stepped forward, pushing an indignant Hermione behind him as he pulled out his wand at Draco, "Take that back Malfoy."
Draco turned his smirk to Ron, Blaise twirling his wand between his hands near the classroom door. "I don't think I will Weasel."
Ron stepped closer to Draco, Hermione unsuccessfully tugging at his sleeve to pull him back. "Ron stop it, he's not worth it." Hermione hissed in his ear, Harry nodding in agreement behind them.
Ron seemed to pause before he swished his wand yelling, "Furnunculus." Draco flew back against the opposite wall, smacking his head sharply on the stone, "Ronald!" shrieked Hermione, a hand covering her mouth in surprise.
"You'll pay for that Weasel." Draco slowly sat up as small lumps began to appear over his face, growing larger till they formed boils that covered every inch of flesh.
His cloak flicked to the side as Draco brandished his wand but before he could utter a word, a loud voice filled the corridor, "Expelliarmus." Suddenly Draco, Ron and Blaise's wands flew from their hands to land at the feet of a woman tipping to her elder years. Professor McGonagall frowned at her students, her hands clasped in front of her stomach holding her wand loosely.
"I will not have my students acting like fools on their first class of 'Life Lessons'." With that the Professor flicked her wand and the origami bird that Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil had charmed to fly caught on fire and floated to the ground.
McGonagall pointed her wand at Draco, the boils fading from his face before stalking into the classroom her students following her after the wand-less wizards collected their wands.
"Blimey she's scary." Ron whispered to Harry as he took his place next to him, leaving Hermione to sit beside Neville.
"Yes Miss Granger?" McGonagall turned to find the young witch waving her hand furiously through the air to catch the teacher's attention, "Excuse me Professor but I thought you said this class was 'Life Lessons'?" Hermione watched McGonagall intently as she wound her fingers around her wand in nervousness.
"An excellent question Miss Granger, one I'll answer shortly once you have all moved to your designated seats- ah Miss Lovegood. Miss Weasley. Please wait in the corner for a moment."
Harry and Ron turned to find Luna and Ginny had walked into the room only to stand where they had been told. "Designated seats Professor?" Parvati brought the class's attention back to the front of the classroom as McGonagall read off a list, "Lavender Brown next to Ronald Weasley. Parvati Patil, Neville Longbottom. Ginny Weasley, Blaise Zabini. Luna Lovegood, Harry Potter. And Hermione Granger with Draco Malfoy." Hermione frowned as her name was spoken and the students stood up and bustled around to their seats.
The bushy-haired witch turned to find Draco rocking on his chair, feet on his desk as Blaise moved off towards Ginny, talking avidly to her. 'Looks like I have to go to him the lazy Slytherin', Hermione slumped into her seat beside Draco, moving her chair as far from him as she could.
"Settle down class," McGonagall's voice echoed through the classroom, quietening the students who took their seats.
"Now you must all be wondering as to why two year sixes are in our year seven class and why we have changed from Advanced Transfiguration to 'Life Lessons'."
The Professor clasped her before her stomach and took a few steps forward to become level with Harry and Luna's desk, "As permitted by the Ministry of Magic we have been allowed to put a test upon our year seven students to prepare them for and ward them away from teen pregnancy."
Exclaimed gasps filled the air before the students began whispering among themselves, Lavender and Parvati shouting to each other across the room.
"What?" Draco dragged his feet from the desk, slamming them into the floor, "I did not sign up for this, and I demand to change classes." The blonde Slytherin stood up from his chair as everyone turned to watch him head for the door.
Hermione looked at him with disgust as their teacher murmured something and the door slammed shut before Draco's face. "Back to your seat Mr Malfoy before I decide that a month's worth of detention is befitted for you."
The Slytherin glared at McGonagall his hand gripping the door handle before he muttered angrily, returning to his seat.
"Now, if we may ignore the interruptions, a DNA sample has been collected from each pair already and after dinner tonight, girls you must take a potion which will make you fall pregnant."
With a flick of her wand booklets rose from the teacher's desk to land before each student, Hermione immediately scanning hers as Draco pushed his to the side, leaning on the desk. "Professor how will we have time to look after the baby after nine months of pregnancy?" Ginny paused in her conversation with Blaise to ask.
"Well that you asked, the pregnancy will be charmed to take place over three months instead of nine. Each week is equal to three weeks, each month- three months. You are still expected to go through labor-" Lavender looked up sharply, interrupting, "We have to go through labor?!" She exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise.
"It will only take place over two-three hours against the usual period of time." McGonagall hushed the girl before continuing on, "You will be placed in 'apartments' if you will. Everyone will have a room of their own with an adjoining bathroom to their partner. Supplies for the children will be owled to your rooms at the appropriate times."
Draco murmured darkly and Hermione elbowed him in the ribs, "Pay attention Malfoy." The Slytherin glared at her, a smirk working its way over his face as he drawled, "Make me Granger." The brunette turned her intent stare to Draco and flicked her wand at him, the air rippling around Draco as a silencing charm was placed on him.
"I'll remove it once you behave," Hermione whispered to the furious blonde who returned her gaze, anger etched in his grey eyes.
Hermione turned back to the front of the classroom in time to hear Professor McGonagall explaining how after the baby was born each month would equal to three months and at the end of seven months, or when the babies would be twenty-one months, the toddler would fade away in the night and the test would be over.
"Every month an owl shall bring each pair a message to bring themselves and their child to the hospital bay for an examination." McGonagall turned her gaze upon them all one by one before continuing on.
"The apartments shall be located on the sixth floor and you are all required to go there after dinner where you will find the potions which must be taken at 10:30 on the minute. And here-" McGonagall started handing out slips of paper with words on each, "- Is the password along with the painting you must find to get to your apartments."
Hermione glanced at hers as beside her Draco scrunched his up and threw it across the room to land in the bin earning a stern look from McGonagall.
The small-print words on the yellowed paper read; Phoenicem, which Hermione assumed was the password, and below that were the words; Sir Cadogan, referring to the painting that guarded the entrance to her and Draco's apartment.
Just at that moment the bell rang and McGonagall's voice rang out, "Ladies don't forget to take your potion at exactly 10:30!" And with that the students filed out of the classroom, headed to their respected classes, in Hermione's case, potions with the Slytherins.
