Tears rolled uncontrollably down the seventeen year olds face. Hermione Granger was sitting in the bathroom of her parents house with a pregnancy test sitting on the bathroom counter in front of her. The little pink positive was staring up at her like those evil eyes of You-Know-Who. She had tears pouring from her eyes and hitting the floor as she cried because she was scared.
Last year, in secrecy, she had confided in someone who she found unexpected. He was having a hard time with the fact he was chosen to kill Professor Dumbledore at the end of the year. In fact, when Draco Malfoy had started speaking to her, she tried to push him away from her, but in the end, she ended up letting him in and speaking with him. Then, some of you are probably wondering how Hermione Granger had fallen pregnant and how does Draco Malfoy fit into this?
In an evening of pure bliss, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger had created a little miracle most would call a child. They were on the Hogwarts grounds in the early spring sitting by the black lake and talking easily with one another. Draco was sitting quite close to Hermione and had his arms wrapped around her shoulders and her head was laying on his shoulders.
"I wonder what it's like with no drama coming from the houses or even my family," Draco said to Hermione softly. She sat up and looked at him, "My Dad is trying to push me harder to accomplish the task You-Know-Who has given me," Draco said and pulled his sleeve up and stared at the tattoo he was given. Hermione lightly touched his mark and ran her fingers over the details of it. Quietly, she pulled her wand out and pointed it at his skin and muttered a spell making it fade into his skin.
"It's a hiding spell for tattoos. I read about it a while ago in a spell book. It's still there, but you can't see it unless the counter spell is cast upon it," Hermione said with a smile on her face. Draco smiled at Hermione and Hermione just smiled back at Draco.
"Why were you always so mean to me?" Hermione asked quietly to the blonde haired boy sitting in front of her, "You called me a mudblood."
"I'm sorry, `Mione, I wish I hadn't, if I could, I would take it back," Draco said softly and pressed his lips to Hermione's and pulled away and looked into her beautiful brown eyes, "`Mione, you have to understand, I was a right foul git and I take back everything I did to you, Potter, and Weasley," Draco said and Hermione smiled at Draco and kissed his lips gently. Draco had cupped Hermione's cheeks and pushed her lightly to the ground and kissed her lips hungrily.
"Take me to the stars, Draco," Hermione murmured quietly to Draco as she stared into his silver orbs, "I want you to take me away right here. This might be the last time we get to spend time with each other."
Hermione sat in her bathroom remembering the fateful night of how their love child had come about. She rested her hand gently to her stomach and cried upon the fact that she was carrying a child her child. Of course, Hermione had dreamed of becoming a mother one day, but she never imagined it in the midst of a war between her best friend, Harry Potter, and the man who had taken the lives of many people. The same man who had made Draco almost do an unforgivable curse.
"I'll protect you, dear, Mommy will always be here to protect you if Daddy isn't here," Hermione murmured to her stomach. She got up off the toilet seat and wandered towards her bedroom and with a flick of her wand, everything was in her bag. She removed all evidence in the bedroom, as well as the bathroom, that a Hermione Granger had ever lived in the house. She quietly went downstairs and stood behind her parents and held her wand towards them.
"Obliviate," She whispered erasing herself from their memories. She felt sad doing this to her own parents, but she found it better this way. This way, they would never have to live with the fact that their daughter had created an illegitimate child with Draco Malfoy, a boy she had often complained about when coming home for the holidays.
She walked out of her childhood home with her small bag in her hand and apparated to the Weasley home. She landed just outside of their small home. She felt as if apparating would be something to shy away from later on in her pregnancy. She knocked on the door softly announcing her presence at the Weasley home. Many good memories were here, especially with her best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She had also grown quite close to the others: Molly, Arthur, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Ginny. The only Weasley she was not close with was Percy since he was the Ministry freak and was obsessed with the Minister of Magic.
"Hermione dear, come in, come in, we're just sitting down for a spot of breakfast. So many choices this morning since most of the order is here to discuss this evenings arrangement with Harry," Molly said letting Hermione in, "Where are your things, dear?"
"In this bag, it has been charmed to hold an endless amount of objects," Hermione said quietly, "Thank you for keeping Crookshanks for me," she added graciously and looked at Molly.
"Good, Granger's here," Moody announced as he saw Hermione standing in the doorway, "Miss Granger, Miss Delacour, Fred, George, Ron, and Mundungus will be the six other Potter's," He started and Hermione interjected Moody.
"I think I'll stay here with Mrs. Weasley and attend to the others when they arrive back," Hermione said and everyone looked at her, "I'm just- I'm not feeling well today and no, it's not nerves, I just have a lot on my mind today."
"Hermione, you've got to be joking me? You're skimping out on Harry after you told him you would be helping him," Ron said walking up to Hermione. He's been a little off with her for a while because he had told her of his feelings towards her, but she denied him. He saw that she had a thing for Malfoy and that he possibly returned those feelings, he envied Malfoy and he wanted to strangle the blonde.
"Ron, this isn't any of your business," Ginny said interrupting the two and she then turned towards Mad-Eye Moody and said, "I'll take Hermione's place this evening. I don't want any fussing, though, I will be doing this, I don't care if I'm only sixteen, but if Hermione is ill, I must do it," Ginny said and they all nodded silently. She then hugged Hermione welcoming her into the burrow.
"Come sit down, Hermione, I'm sure you're tired, you look awfully tired," Bill said with a small smile on his face as he took Fleur's hand into his.
"She duz look very tired, Bill, what iz ze meaning of ze look?" Fleur asked Hermione as she leaned over past Bill to look at Hermione.
"I've just got a lot on my plate right now," Hermione spoke and everyone stared at her and she exhaled loudly before continuing, "I erased my parents memories so they didn't have any recollection of me. If anything had happened to me, I didn't want them to remember me so they wouldn't be in pain," Hermione said and they all were shocked at what Hermione had done and Ginny patted Hermione's back softly.
"Hermione, you'll be fine," Fred said.
"Yeah, you may come out a little battered," George added after his twin.
"But you'll survive," They said simultaneously. Hermione smiled softly at the Weasley twins. This was the family she wishes she had, she wishes that she had siblings and someone to talk to besides her cat and parents. She wishes she had an older brother and maybe a younger sister.
"Hurry up, now, we have a lot of planning for tonight!" Mad-Eye yelled loudly.
A/N: Hello, there, I haven't posted in a long, long time! I am in Harry Potter hype. I have been since the beginning of July and i am finally uploading a story on here. I haven't really uploaded something "good" on here since a story I deleted entitled Camp Rock. That was from April of 2008, two months before the movie actually came out.
I would love it if you left your feedback on this story, please! I would appreciate it greatly, actually. By the way, this story is called Under Stars after Tom Felton's (who plays Draco Malfoy) song. It's really good, it's probably my favorite. I didn't know he made music until today... yeah... awkward!
