Chapter One
They were in love. Really, truly, purely, deeply in love. And man was their love strong and so incredibly powerful. Their love created a magic, worthy of only the gods. Years later their love would be compared to that Romeo and Juliet, minus the double suicide. But these particular lovers had a tragedy all of their own. You see, their love was never even supposed to happen. But it did. And their love changed their world.
Our two star-crossed lovers, were Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Now you should understand their problems. Mudbloods and Purebloods were never supposed to mix. And for that reason their love was forgotten, literally.
At the time, only two other people knew of their affair. The only two people they felt they could trust completely. Albus Dumbledore and Hermione's soon to be adopted father, Severus Snape. (AN: Don't worry if you're confused, everything will be explained later on in the story!)
It was because of these two men, that their love was allowed to grow, they hid them, and kept their secrete, not matter the danger. But the wrong sort of people caught wind that Hermione Granger, mudblood extraordinaire, the boy-who-lived best friend, was having a secrete love affair, with who they never figured out, the risk of the Death Eaters discovering who her love was was way to great. And so Albus devised a plan.
They had two choices, as much as it pained him to say it, they either had to end their relationship, or allow it to lie dormant until it was safe for it to resurface. Of course the two teen's chose the latter. And of course extreme measures were going to be taken. To ensure their safety Draco, since he was a spy in the inner circle, would have to be oblivated, and Hermione would go into hiding, only to show up again for the next school year.
The plans were set with tears from both Hermione and Draco, but they knew it was the only way. They were given one last night together in the Room of Requirement, which had been their secret place since they had been together. They had been waiting for the right moment to fully give themselves to each other, and in their way of thinking this might be their only chance. So that night they didn't just have sex, no, they made love.
That night they fought sleep with all their might, but their happiness that was shadowed by a bought of sadness, was exhausting to them, and the pull of sleep was just too much.
And this is where our story begins…
When Hermione Granger awoke that morning, she knew she was alone. She knew he was gone, and that she might not see the real him, the man she had fallen in love with, for quite some time. Tears filled her eyes as she rolled over and pressed her face into his pillow where she could still smell traces of his cologne.
Once her tears had dried, a small, sad smile graced her features, and her hand drifted down and rested upon her stomach. She knew what they had created, she knew the exact moment it happened. But dread filled her self when she realized what could happen to her and her daughter if they were ever found out.
Yes, Hermione was going to have a baby, and she had the overwhelming sense that the child growing in womb was going to be a baby girl. But the dread of what might happen to her child soon left her mind when she realized that no matter what happened to the world, or what happened to her and Draco, whether they ever got back together, this little baby girl was proof that at one time they were in love, and that at one time they were happy, and in one time might be again.
After laying in the bed for a little while longer, basking in what she had done just a few hours ago, still feeling his arms tight around her, and his lips on her body, before she slowly climbed out of the be and out of the most wonderful happiness that she had yet to know.
She pulled on her clothes, and just before she reached for the door handle, she turned to get one last look at the room that had held their secret for many months, before sighing a deep sigh, and then stepping out into the empty halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hermione took her time in making her way toward the Headmaster's office where undoubtedly the Headmaster and the Potion's Master were waiting for her. She knew she had nothing to fear about meeting any wandering students in the hallways, for it was the first week of Summer break.
Finally she found herself in front of the gargoyle. With one last deep breath, she gave the password and stepped onto the stairs and made her way to his door.
With a light knock she was admitted to the room. Dumbledore was of course behind his desk with his hands folded in front of him, and Snape was staring into the fireplace while leaning against the mantle.
Albus seemed to let out a breath as he greeted her, "Ahh… Ms. Granger, we have been waiting. How are you this morning?"
She gave his a small smile as she sat in the chair that was offered to her and said simply, "Pregnant."
There was a small crash, from where Snape had knocked something off the mantel place in his shock. Before whipping around to stare at her, "How could you possibly know that so soon?"
"Professor I knew I was pregnant the moment my daughter was conceived."
"A daughter you say Ms. Granger?" Dumbledore interjected with a frown.
"Yes, a daughter."
"Perhaps you are mistaken. All first borne Malfoy's are males," Snap retorted. "Have you done the test?"
"No sir, I have found no need, seeing as I already know." Hermione was getting slightly miffed.
"Ms. Granger, would you allow me to perform the spell? There is no harm in knowing for certain," Dumbledore, sensing the tension beginning to brew, knowing this would be the only way to settle things between them.
"Alright Headmaster. If you deem it necessary," Hermione stated getting up from her chair. "Be my guest."
Dumbledore too left his place from behind his desk, making his way over to stand in front of her. Pulling his wand out of his robes, he waved his wand in some sort of complicated movement, before muttering something or other, and his wand began to emit a slight glow. "There we are Ms. Granger. Just wait a moment and we shall have our answer.
No sooner had the words left his mouth when a bubble like orb began to appear in front of Hermione's stomach. When the bubble began to glow a pink color, a triumphant look appeared on her face.
"Well there you have it Severus. Ms. Granger is indeed pregnant with the next generation of Malfoy's. And it is a baby girl."
"Albus, surly you know what must now be done. A mudblood, no offence meant Ms. Granger, carrying a half-blood child. Not to mention the fact that it is Hermione Granger carrying Draco Malfoy's half-blood child. Every Death eater in the country will be after her once she's discovered."
"I take no offence of the name Professor, but I do take offence to the two of you talking as if I'm not here."
"My apologies Ms. Granger, but Severus is correct. I would not condone placing you and you unborn daughter in danger. And so if you do not oppose, I would still like to place you into hiding, like we had planned before," Dumbledore said in his annoyingly calm manner.
"I understand where you're coming from Headmaster. But where would I be hiding? Grimuald Place?" Hermione inquired.
"No, I'm afraid not Ms. Granger. The fewer the people know about your pregnancy the better. So I suggest owling your friend, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasly and telling them you are taking a vacation of some sort, and that you will have little contact with them. We are going to be extremely careful. Now, as for hiding you, it should be in the last place the Death eaters expect." He had that look in his eyes that always made Hermione nervous.
"And where would that be Headmaster?"
"Well if Professor Snape has no objections, I had hoped that you would reside at Snape Manor."
AN: Well, what do you think? If you sweet darlin's out there think this story has any potential at all, let me know and I will continue. Comments are welcome!!
