10. Conflicts

Early morning, Hermione woke up with a feeling of dull ache in her lower abdomen. She tried to sit up but felt a weight around her waist. Only then did she realize that she was in Draco's bed with him. The events of the previous night hit her full force and his hand suddenly felt like hot iron around her waist. She pushed his hands away and got out of the bed.

The movement woke Draco up. "Granger!" He called her name behind her as he saw her walking out of his room in haste. He was sure that she heard him because she stopped for a moment but then continued to run.

Hermione shut the door after entering her room and fell on her bed crying in pure agony. She felt like she was reliving that night once again. The night which changed her life for worst, shattered her, took her innocence, put her in her current predicament. She placed her hand on her midsection trying to feel the life inside her but immediately removed it.

Malfoy's words rung in her ear but no matter how much she tried to feel acceptance for the child, she was failing miserably. 'Malfoy' The name brought the memories of the incidents of previous night. why the hell had she acted that way- as if he was her only hope, even though she knew that he could be anything but her hope. She should stay away from him just like Harry and Ron, if possible even more. After all he was... Her though was interrupted by a loud and abnormal bang on the door.

"Granger! Are you alive in there. Please open the damn door." She sensed the frustration in Draco's voice and even more concern.

How can he be concerned and after everything he did till now- her bitter mind thought. But her heart knew that none of this was his fault. He has changed and he has proved it. But her wounds ran so deep that she could not just heal. She was sure that the two nights were just a moment of vulnerability that she had spent with him.

"Granger! Please." Draco called again.

"What do you want Malfoy?" She hissed just as she opened the door. Draco was confused as he sensed the venom in her voice and his last name from her mouth. "What's wrong with you?" He asked dazed.

"Nothing is wrong with me Malfoy. Now if you will leave me alone." She made to shut the door but he held it back easily with his hand.

"Granger! What is it? I thought after everything yesterday night we were friends." He questioned trying to keep calm.

"Yesterday was mistake. We are not friends Malfoy and we can never be". Hermione replied putting a strong face. She could feel the energy draining from her body by all the fight. And all the walking was causing as much pain in her nether regions as well as stomach. She was sure that if this continued a bit more, she will collapse.

"Really Granger! Then what was it that happened yesterday, AN ACT?" Draco all but shouted the last part as his temper flared. He immediately regretted it as he saw her leave the door open and cowering back from him. Her eyes beginning to water. "Granger! I am sorry. Please listen..." He tried to apologize.

"Please Malfoy! Please leave me alone. I am sorry about yesterday. It was just...Ahhh" She trailed of feeling a sharp pain. Draco's heart leapt in horror as he saw her condition. What kind of a healer are you going to become, fighting with a patient?- He mentally cursed himself.

"Granger! You need to sit down" Without waiting a moment he marched towards her to help. "Don't come near me Malfoy. Please!" This made Draco pause halfway. He saw as she slowly made her way towards her bed. He knew that each step was more painful than it already looked. He let out a breath of relief that he did not know he was holding when Hermione reached the bed and relaxed. But it did not last long as she laid down on bed holding her midsection and let out another whimper.

He knew that she needed to be checked continuously, given her condition. And now that he knew what the problems were, he could do it easily. He just could not understand why was she suddenly back to her defensive mode like the first day.

"Granger! Please let me diagnose you." He pleaded again hearing her whimper. Upon getting no reply he slowly made his way towards her bed and into her room for the first time. Hesitantly, he touched her shoulder "Granger! Lie back down." He said while gently helping her to acquire the position. He had expected her to struggle again but she did not. Maybe too tired to put up a fight- he thought and took out his wand and muttered a spell running it across her body.

"Granger! Are you bleeding again?" He asked slowly as his wand glowed red during the diagnosis of her private parts. She just nodded. On further diagnosis he concluded that the bleeding was from the tear in her vagina that she had reopened. He closed it with a quick spell and cast some of the pain relieving spells on the region. He read her expression as she relaxed immediately from pain relief.

"Now Granger! You need to be more careful. I have closed the tear again but it needs time to heal. you need to take it easy." He observed that she had not opened her eyes ones since he entered the room as if trying to block him out of her mind.

"Granger! Did I do something wrong?" He blurted out not being able to take her ignorance any further.

"No Malfoy. I just need some time alone. Its too much to take in." She replied her eyes still closed.

Draco knew that it indeed was too much for her and decided to not pressurize her any more. It was best if he left right now. "Okay! I will be in my room if you need anything." And with this he left her alone.

Hermione opened her eyes as she felt the door shut."I am sorry Malfoy. I know its not your fault but yet I cannot forgive you. And it's better if you never know the truth about this child." She mumbled to herself and cried to sleep once again.

After waiting for Granger in his room and his hope being shattered again, Draco went to the great hall for breakfast. He kept glancing at Gryffindor table hoping that at least she would show up for breakfast.

"Mate! How is she?" Blaise asked pouring some pumpkin juice in his goblet.

"She is the same, Blaise. Today she reopened the tear that you healed yesterday. But I closed it." Draco sighed.

"Did you tell her about her pregnancy?"

"No, she found it out herself. She was late." Draco replied his mind wandering to the thoughts of previous night.

"Off course she was. Is she alright? How did she react?"

"She wanted it out of her. And for a moment there I thought that she would have done it if she had a knife." Draco replied feeling nauseous at the thought.

"Well that was to be expected. At least she is ready to carry on the pregnancy." Blaise saw as Draco's face lost all color at his words.

"Blaise! She never said that she was going to carry on this pregnancy. I tried to calm her down yesterday and she did calm down. Yesterday she told me that i was a friend. But today she was all cooped up in her shell. In fact she told me that yesterday was a mistake. I don't understand what happened to her mood. I just hope she does not think about terminating the pregnancy." Draco said running a hand through his perfect hair.

"Calm down Mate. You have to help her and panicking won't do any good in this situation. And I suggest that you don't leave her alone for long time. Its only going to get her more depressed. Keep her distracted if not happy." Blaise saw as his friend nodded in response.

Blaise took out a box from his bag. "Here Mate." He said handing the box to Draco.

"What's this?" Draco asked confused.

"Its potions for her. I thought you would have some problem finding all the correct ones. So, I prepared this box. It has all the necessary ones." Blaise replied keeping his voice low.

"Thanks Blaise. I was just thinking about where to get the pre natal ones." Draco replied placing the box in his bag.

"Mention not Malfoy because they are not for you." Blaise replied smirking.

"Whatever zabini." Draco replied disinterested, just then another question came to his mind. "Blaise! Did you tell anyone about Granger's condition?"

"No, she gave me an unbreakable vow yesterday to keep it a secret even before I started the checkup." Blaise replied taking some bites from his sandwich.

"Offcouse she did. Brightest witch and all." Draco scoffed.
