The news of Hermione's pregnancy had been out for two months and it was still the subject of everyone's gossip. Everywhere Hermione turned, someone was talking about her. Draco couldn't get away from it either. If he didn't hear it from the Slytherins, he heard it from everyone else in classes. He could see it was getting to Hermione and he didn't know what to do to help her. He felt a little bit better knowing that she had Harry and that she wasn't alone in all of this.
Hermione had wanted to spend the morning in the library and Harry had decided to join her. Settling themselves at a desk in the library, the pair sat in a comfortable silence, catching up on some homework.
Who the father was had been niggling at Harry for ages. He wanted to know but he didn't want to invade Hermione's privacy. He just wanted to make sure Hermione was okay and that she was being supported through this. After deciding he couldn't take it any longer, Harry worked up the courage to ask her.
"Hermione, can I ask you something." Harry asked, knowing there was no going back now.
"Of course you can." Hermione said.
"Can you please tell me who the father is?" Harry begged.
"I'm sorry Harry but I can't." Hermione said." It's not that I don't want to tell you, I just can't risk anyone finding out."
"Hermione you know no one would find out from me. I wouldn't do that to you." Harry said.
"I don't know Harry. I'd have to speak to him, I really want to tell you, I'm just worried." Hermione said.
"It's okay, I'm sorry for asking, I just want to make sure you're being supported through this." Harry said.
"Of course I am, and it wouldn't matter if he wasn't there because I still have you." Hermione said, smiling.
"You always will." Harry said.
Lapsing into another comfortable silence, the pair sat for another few hours before Harry left for Quidditch practise and Hermione went to see Draco.

"So I can tell him?" Hermione asked.
"I don't see why not." Draco said, finally seeing some happiness in Hermione's eyes. "It's not like Potter's going to tell anyone."
"Thank you Draco." Hermione beamed.
"You don't have to thank me." He said, wrapping his arms around Hermione. "How are you feeling?" Draco questioned.
"I'm feeling okay. I haven't had much sickness since I've been eating more." Hermione said, absentmindedly rubbing her stomach.
"You're quite big for being four months." Draco said, placing his hand on her stomach.
"I know, I look like I'm carry twins." Hermione laughed.
"When will you know what you're having." Draco asked.
"Madam Pomfrey has a healer coming tomorrow to do a scan so hopefully I should know then." Hermione said.
"Hopefully then we'll be able to decide on a name." Draco laughed.

Settling herself down at the Gryffindor table in front of Harry, Hermione began to load her plate. She could feel eyes boring into the side of her head but chose to ignore it. Hearing a scoff, Hermione turned her head to see Ron looking at her then whispering to Ginny.
"Just ignore them Hermione." Harry said, fixing the redheads with his sharpest glare, a glare to rival a Malfoy.
"How can you though? He's your best friend." Hermione said.
"Was. He was meant to be yours too and look at the way he treated you. If he can do that to you then he doesn't deserve you and I don't plan on speaking to someone as horrible as that." Harry said, raising his voice so they could hear him.
"It might make you feel better that I've decided to tell you." Hermione said.
"Really? He said it's okay?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I will tell you just not here obviously." Hermione said.
The friends sat for a little while, just talking before they decided to head back to the Gryffindor Tower. Looking over in Draco's direction, Hermione gave him a reassuring smile before heading off with Harry. Getting back to the common room, they found a few people dotted around.
"Come up to my dorm, there'll be no one there." Harry said, leading the way.
They found Harry was right and his dorm was empty, settling herself beside Harry on his bed, Hermione turned to him.
"Please don't get angry when I tell you." She said.
"I won't." Harry said, quite worried now.
"Well, erm, it's, er." Hermione stammered, not quite sure how to say it.
"Hermione just be blunt, who is he?" Harry asked.
"Draco." Hermione said, putting her head down.
"M-Malfoy?" Harry asked, not quite sure he heard her right.
"Yes." Hermione said, lifting her head to look in his eyes.
"Well he wasn't who I was expecting but it makes sense." Harry said.
"You're not angry are you?" Hermione asked.
"No, I'm not angry. I understand now why you couldn't tell anyone." Harry said soothingly.
"Thank you Harry, I'm glad you're not angry." Hermione said.
"So when did you and Malfoy become a thing?" Harry asked.
"Fifth year." Hermione said sheepishly.
"Fifth year!" Harry spluttered.
"Yeah." Hermione laughed.
"Well. You kept that quiet didn't you." Harry laughed.
They spent a while just talking, Harry asking Hermione some questions about her and Draco and the baby. Hermione was extremely glad Harry had taken the news how he had and she was sure that he would keep it to himself.

A.N
I am going to have Hermione's scan written in, in a few chapters and I would like to know what gender you want the baby to be. I will be making a poll on my page if you all want to go and vote.
