GRADUATION
Hermione stood in her crisp black graduation robes at the podium with her wand at her throat. The speech she had practiced hundreds of time flowed out of her mouth as she recalled the awkwardness of being a first year, the fear of the chamber of secrets, the fear of an escaped convict on school grounds, the death of Cedric, and the war with Voldermort. She thanked those of her classmates who had the courage to come back, and greeted those who sat in the crowd. Hermione thanked the professors, the headmaster, and the parents.
When she had finished the class was able to stand and hug each other before they stepped off stage and Draco's arms found her waste and she hugged him, her face in his chest.
She missed Scorpius, but as her hand found her small lump she smiled knowing she'd have him in months to come.
She hugged Harry, Pansy, Ginny, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, her parents, Luna, Lavender, and Ron shook her hand. Pictures flashed around and the Profit came around to the newly engaged Hermione and Draco. They weren't the only ones who decided to actually marry. Ron and Pansy have decided to get married and she was pregnant as well.
"Pose for the Profit!"
Draco looked at her and she nodded back. She unzipped her gown and revealed her favorite black dress and turned to the side, showing her tiny baby bump. Before she could second guess, the camera was one her in a second.
"Hermione Granger! How far along are you?"
"Almost three months."
"And is Draco Malfoy the father?"
"Don't be stupid, of course he is!"
And with that, she smooched him in front of everyone.
On the way back home from the train Hermione brought her Head Girl badge out.
"I'm so glad I convinced Dumbledore to let us keep these."
Draco nodded his head which rested on her lap.
"So where are we going first?"
"Well, you're nausea has finally calmed down, so we can visit your parents first."
"Okay. My mother's been buying clothes already."
"So has mine."
"This baby is going to be so spoiled."
"Well, he is a Malfoy."
"I've been meaning to ask you about that."
"About what?"
"Are you sure you want to wait to get married? Isn't there some sort of ancient Malfoy rule against that?"
"No, my grandfather got rid of that rule when he took control of the fortune. Besides, do you want to be fat when walking down the isle?"
Wrong thing to say. Hermione's eyes watered instantly and Draco brought his head up to give her a soft sweet kiss.
"I'm sorry, I only meant that you would be much bigger."
Hermione slapped his arm and huffed.
"Oh come on Hermione!"
Just then Pansy opened the door.
"Hermione, what's the matter."
"He called me fat."
"Did not! I said you'll get fat!"
Hermione glared at him and walked out to go find Ginny.
"Nice going Draco."
Hermione slammed the door with Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Luna inside. The two females went instantly to Hermione's belly to feel for Scorpius.
"Hermione! You're so tiny, I can't imagine you in six months."
"I know I'm going to get so fat."
"No ,you'll be pregnant with a beautiful boy. What has you all worked up?"
"Hormones I guess. It feels weird to know I won't come back as a student but as an apprentice. And Draco takes over the company after summer. Life seems to be happening so fast."
"But that's what that class was supposed to prepare you for. Just think, I have to come back next month to just graduate!"
They hugged her and Hermione went to go back to her compartment.
When she got into her compartment Hermione was greeted with a passionate kiss and a mumbled 'I'm sorry' on her lips.
She smiled at him and they resumed their same position before she has left. Draco soon fell asleep. Hermione just wrote in her journal.
I guess when I think about my doubts I start to feel Scorpius shift inside of me. It brings a smile to my face to think of the life Draco and I created. I admit, I'll miss my little potion baby. But I hope this little Scorpius is just the same, if not better.
If I had one thing to tell Scorpius about Hogwarts is to not let prejudice get in the way. Stay away from broom closets. If you find yourself going on any adventures then remember to do your research. Always study, do your homework, and listen to the teachers, especially Professor Dumbledore.
She left it at that as the whistle sounded, signaling for them to get off. Hermione took one last look at the train and felt Draco squeeze her hand.
"We'll be back here in ten years."
Hermione smiled at him and placed a hand on her stomach.
Yes, they will.
Fin.
