Hermione laughed as she watched him slid down the blank to her. They met like this every weekend. They just couldn't let anyone know yet. Hermione and Draco had been going out for about a year now. They had gotten together when they got back as head's. Dumbledore throught that with them in the same place that it would unight the houses a bit more. The only people that did know was Remus and Charlie.
Draco looked at her and saw she was laughing. He was about to brake her heart. He had gone out last week with his house mate's and got a bit drunk but that wasn't what he had to tell her oh no it was far worse. " 'mione there's something I need to tell you babe"
Hermione could tell that he really did have something to tell her and nodded. "Well come on then. You got me out of my nice hot bed for this"
He gave a little laugh but then got to the point. "Last week I...I slepted with someone. I know it was stupid but please hear me out"
"Who...who was it?" She looked at him. His head was bent down his eye's were closed and his hair was falling over his face at th side's.
"I don't think that-"
"WHO WAS IT?" He looked at her and saw for the first time in his life a woman crying.
"Ginny"
"Who?" Hermione couldn't take this anymore.
"Ginny"
Her heart broke. She knew that Ginny had been after him for a while but never had she throught that she would get him. She couldn't stay here now. Hermione ran and didn't look back. She could hear Draco calling her back but she didn't want to talk to anyone just yet.
Draco just stood there watching her go. He'd lost the only think he ever really cared about. All that for one stupid drunken night. As he made his way back to his room he walked into Harry, Ron, Charlie (he's teaching at the school) Remus (also back at the school) and Ginny. Remus was shocked that he was crying and went over to him.
"Is something wrong Draco?"
He nodded and told him what had happened. Remus was shocked even more that he could do that to Hermione. But then drink did make you do stupid thing's. He said he'd go talk to Hermione and see if everything was ok with her.
He walked over to the other's and made something up to get out of going to Hogsmead with them. He also gave Charile a look saying he may need his help. So Charile and Remus made their way to were they knew she would be. The lake.
As they saw her they knew something was wrong. She wasn't moving. They ran to her and saw blood coming out of her wrist's. Remus picked her up and ran with her to the hospital wing.
Madom Pomfrey came running when she saw Hermione in his arm's. He put her down on a bed and was told to wait outside. Charile was there waiting and sat with him.
Hermione came around and saw that the nurse was standing over her. She gave her a smile and sat down next to her.
"Right Hermione. I have some news for you. You will be fine but will be staying here for a while and don't worry you didn't hurt the baby"
Her whole world went black. No she couldn't be having a baby. That would mean that Draco was the father. The last think she heard was the door's opening and someone saying her name. It sounded a lot like him but she couldn't tell.
"Is she going to be ok?" Draco asked looking very worried that she had just pasted out.
"She will be fine just a bit out of it is all." She wasn't going to tell him about the baby not knowing if she wanted anyone to know yet.
Draco nodded and sat down by her bed. "Um you know if anyone come's in can you say that you wanted me to keep and eye on her?"
She gave him a nod and went back to her office to send a message to the headmaster.
Draco sat with her until she came around. He could see what she had done. He knew she would do something but never this. Looking at her was painful knowing that she would have nothing to do with him after this. He had told his mother about her the week of half-term, she had wanted to meet her ever since. But now he had to tell her she would never meet her now.
Hermione groaned in her sleep and began to stir. Her eye's flutted a bit then opened slowly. When they were hit by the light she closed them tight. She did it a bit more slowly this time and didn't have to close her eye's to it. Looking she saw that Draco was next to her and holding her hand. Her heart didn't know if she could take seeing him. He'd gone off with her best friend and now this. They had been talking about getting married but she alway's throught that he would marry a pourblood not her, just so his family wouldn't disown him.
The door opened and all her friend's walked in.Ginny's smile widened when she saw Draco. She'd known about them dating and wanted to brake them up. She ran over to him and hugged him. She'd told her brother and Harry that they were dating for a while but didn't know what they would say. "Draco I have to tel you something"
He nodded and got up to follow her out but she shook her head. She said she could say it in frount of everyone. "Well I'm going to have your baby." The other's were shocked and Hermione looked ready to cry. Ginny hugged him and waited for her to say something.
"Isn't it great 'mione? I'm going to have the baby of my loved one." Hermione sank back down on her bed. Remus was looking ill and was looking at Hermione. Charlie was angry that his own sister would do this. She had come to him telling him she knew about Draco and Hermione but he never throught she would do this.
Everyone looked at him as he stood up. "Sorry Ginny but I never throught you'd mess your friendship up just for pay back." With that he walked out the door and out of her life. Everyone looked at Ginny who looked grim. Hermione couldn't hold her tear's for much longer and was greatful that Madom Pomfrey came and got rid of them. As the last person lefted she let them fall and didn't care who saw them.
She heard the door open but didn't look at who it was just turned away. "Hermione I'm sorry for what she did really." She turned when she heard Charlie's voice. When he saw her tear's he ran to her and pulled her into his arm's trying to carlm her. "Hay shhhh it's going to be ok 'mione I promise."
She shook her head and looked him in the eye. "I...I was going to tell him...but then...Ginny said...it.." Charlie was stumped. She could see this and told him about her baby.
Charlie said he would help her anyway her could. He even told her he'd marry her if she liked. "I don't think I could do that. I mean you could have anyone and marring without love isn't the right thing to do." She was talking about him really. She had, had a bit of a crush on him since X-mas.
"Hermione I know you don't know this but I think I have been falling for you ever since X-mas. So really I wouldn't be marring without love. I just hope that you could love me." She looked at him and could see the love forming from his eye's.
She looked at him and smiled. "But what about the baby. I don't want you to hate me later on because of it. I don't want to to regret doing this." He was looking down at her and wondering if she had just said that. He'd never regret this and he would bring the baby up as his own.
Charlie told her all this and was suprised when she hugged him. "Maybe we could just wait a bit. It would look a bit odd us doing this. I don't want him to know." He nodded and then something came to her. "Charlie what did you mean by pay back."
"Well you see. Ginny through that you had slept with Harry and taken him off her so she wanted to get you back. She found out about you and Draco some time ago, from what she told me but I never throught she'd do this really Hermione I hope you believe me."
Hermione smiled and nodded. They spoke for until he was told to go with being on round's with Remus. When Charlie went Hermione tryed to sleep but couldn't. Next week was her last and then she'd have to tell everyone about her and Charlie. She didn't mind it was just the bit about the baby. What if it came out looking like Draco with blonde hair and pale blue eye's?
Pulling the cover's over her she took the dreamless sleep potsion she was given and was aslepp in no time at all.
It was the last day before they'd all leave forever. Hermione had been keeping herself to herself more. Harry and Ron were worried about her and went to see her. When they got there she was still asleep in her bed.
"Hermione wake up." Ron shook her lightly. She began to stir and gave them a smile when she saw them.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing just wondered what your still doing in bed." Harry and Ron laughed at her when she tryed to sit up but was tangled up in her sheet's. She gave a laugh as well. "So why are you still in bed 'mione?"
"Just not been getting enought sleep is all. No need to worry. What time is it?"
"11 O'clock. It nearly time for the party. Can you believe that we pasted in our NEWT's? I can't." Ron looked at them both and sighed.
"Right I'll get up but you two OUT." They nodded and left letting her get ready. They shouted that they'd meet her in the great hall for the party at 12.
Hermione got up and went into her bathroom. She turned on the shower and waited for the water to get hot enought for her. When it was she took off her night wear and steped in. She was so rapped up in the shower that she didn't hear someone call her name or the door open. But what she did hear was a groan from Charlie. She gasped and turned trying to grab something to cover her with.
Charlie looked at her and walked over to her. He took her hand's in his and pulled her flush to his chest. She looked up at him and gave a small gasp. They looked into each other's eye's and didn't see that their head's were moving closer until their lip's pressed agaist each other. Hermione moaned when his tounge asked for entrance. They played a tug-of-war. Charlie pushed her up agaist the shower wall, lifting her leg's up and letting her rap them around his waist.
"Charlie..." It came as a moan and that only egged him on more. He'd wanted to do this for some time and wasn't about to let it pass.
Hermione stood at the great hall door's trying to get herself together. They had, had to rush getting ready for the party. She took a deep breath and pushed the door's open. People stopped to look at her and steared at her openly.
She was dressed in a red silk dress that just covered her bum up and fleared out from the waist. If she was to turn to fast it would come up and show her underwear, which were lacy french nicker's. Her bra mached them. Her hair was up but come out in curl's. They flowed over her sholder's and down her back. They ended just in the middle of her back. She also wore a robe but it was open and fasened at the neck. It was a dark red to go with the dress.
Hermione made her way to sit with her friend's but then remembered she was to sit with some of the teacher's and head boy. Draco was sitting next to his father and mother. For some reason Ginny was there as well. It was only ment to be 7th year's. Charlie had saved her a seat next to him. When she got there he got up and pulled it out for her. She gave a little nod of the head and a warm smile before sitting down. He sat down next to her and began to talk to her about what she was going to do after school.
Dumbledore stood up and began his speach. "Tomorrow I will be sorry to see you all go. There have been some good time and bad time's but the good time's out number the bad. I hope that you all get what you want in life and nothingless. Some thing's over the last year shouldn't have heppened to people your age but they did. I do wish you the best of luck with your future. I also want to award Ms Ginny Weasley her NEWTS as she took them last week." Ginny got up and walked up to him. He gave her them and shook her hand. He waited for her to sit down before speaking again. " I also wish to thank our head boy and head girl for all they have done. Now before us older teacher's go and leave you to your party I do need you warn you that this is a dark time and that you stay on the right side. On a more hapy note enjoy your last day with us and I do hope to see you all again."
Everyone cheered. Remus, Charlie and Sirius stayed as they were told to watch over them. The family that had come would stay for a while longer before leveing. Hermione got up and made her way over to Harry and Ron. They looked at her with glear's. "Is something wrong boy's?"
"Don't play dumb we know what you tryed to do."
"I have no idea what your on about."
"Trying to take Draco off Ginny. That's low even for you. I hope you die Granger." Ron stood up with Harry and made his way over to Ginny. Hermione watched them go and had tear's running down her face. She saw Remus, Sirius and Charlie looking at her with worried face's. She couldn't take anymore and ran from the room in her heal's. They ran after her. They found her at the lake side on her knee's.
Charlie went over and sat next to her. She leaned on his sholder and cryed out what had been said. Sirius had been told what had been going on and was with her every step of the way as well.
Hermione was with the only people that really cared about her. She was to live with Charlie for a while at the borrow the they'd find their own home. They were going to tell Mrs Weasley about their marrage a week from Saturday.
Hermione was slowly healing over what Draco had done and was falling more in love with Charlie each day.
(WEEK ON SATURDAY)
Charlie and Hermione waited for all the family to come into the living room. Remus and Sirius were there also. Ginny had been moved out and into the Malfoy's and was to be married in 3 week's time.
"Mum, dad I know this will come as a shock to you all but I hope you don't go the wrong way about this. Me and Hermione well we're going to be married in March. We really love each other and can't wait to be married." Hermione had the first real smile on her face in a while. Mrs Weasley gave a cry of joy and ran over to them, pulling both into a hug.
"I'm so happy for you. But you didn't leave much time did you? I mean with the dress and the food oh and the flower's..." Mrs Weasley pulled Hermione away from Charlie and into the kitchen to talk about the wedding. Charlie was given a hug from his dad and hand shake's from evryone else, well not Ron. He still hadn't forgiven Hermione.
Mrs Weasley came back in and made them all quiet. "The wedding day with be the 7th March." (THAT'S MY BROTHER'S BIRTHDAY.HEHE)
