"What am I going to do?" asked Hermione to herself. Forgetting that Draco could hear her.

"We are going to raise this baby together." said Draco.

"I love you Hermione, I want to be there for both of you if you let me."

"Are...Are you sure?" asked Hermione, needing to know if what he said was true.

"Positive. This baby will carry the Malfoy name. The baby will never know how they were conceived." said Draco, looking into Hermione's eyes concerned that she would say no. Know how to make it so the baby would never know the truth.

"I love you Draco, Thank you." said Hermione, hugging him.

They both fell sleep on the couch in front of the fire. Neither woke till morning light. They both had the same class Potions with professor Snape.

They went to class without mishap. The only one missing was Adrian Pucey. Both were glad that he was gone or Draco may kill him with his bare hands.

Hermione had not spoken to her friends very much since the rape. They knew nothing of the rape, as whenever they spoke to her she would hurry away. She was always around Draco who made her feel safe and loved. She spoke with her friends glad they weren't mad at her.

"Mione? Why are you always around Malfoy?" asked Ron, clearly showing he didn't like it.

"He is head boy duh." said Hermione.

"Yeah but he is a bloody slitherin." said Ron.

"Stop it! Draco Is no longer the guy you thought he was he had changed a lot." said Hermione, not caring who heard her.

"What the bloody hell did you call him?" asked Ron.

"Draco, do you have a problem with it?" asked Hermione, smiling.

No one noticed that Harry was silent, except for Draco who thought the whole thing was funny. It made him feel good that she was standing up for him.

"He was right your nothing but a mudbl...SLAP."

Hermione slap him so hard his jaw popped.

"Draco has been there for me when you all was ignoring me." said Hermione, before walking into Draco awaiting arms.

"Babygirl calm down." said Draco, rubbing her back.

No one seeing Snape walk in the room. "Draco, Hermione follow me. Class follow the instructions on the board NOW! 20 POINTS FROM GRIFFINDOR FOR USING MUDBLOOD."

Draco and Hermione followed Snape into his personal rooms.

"Miss Granger I have heard of the problem between you and Adrian pucey. You will never have to worry about him again. He was killed upon his father finding out what he had done." said Snape, "The Pucey family do not condone what the young pucey did. He was avade as soon as he walked in sight of his father. No one has to ever know the truth of what happened. "

"No thanks necessary. I hope that this may be put behind you." said Snape, looking at Draco. "I see you have indeed become mature. I am proud that you have took to Hermione. I also know that it is time you learnt the truth of your father. Miss Granger you may go or stay. It is up to Draco as to rather he wants you to stay."

"Stay!" said Draco taking her hand. "What you have to say to me can be said in front of her." squeezing her hand. "We are together now."

"Draco, you have not followed in Lucius footsteps. " said Snape, his lips in a ghost of a smile. "I see now you have grown up enough to fully understand what I am about to say. Lucius is not your biological father."

"Who is my father, or are you my godfather for a reason?" asked Draco. never taking his eyes off his father.

Hermione stood there in silence as she had figure the truth out long ago. She had always knew that SNape was close to Draco.

"Yes, I am your father. Lucius never knew that your mother was seeing me and is still seeing me." said Snape, "We have talked it over and decided you needed to know the truth."

"Father, I want to marry Hermione and raise her baby as mine." said Draco wondering if his father would agree.

"Do you want the baby to ever know the truth?" asked Snape.

"No." said both Hermione and draco together.

"Then I have a potion that you need to drink miss granger to make Draco the biological father. No one will ever know the truth." said Snape.

"When?" asked Hermione, happy to have something to block the truth.

Would Hermione ever tell the baby the truth?
