"What do you mean no?"

Hermione pulled him to his feet. "I mean exactly that. No."

Draco looked at her confused. "I don't understand you Hermione. Did you not hear what my mother said?"

Hermione sighed. "Yes I did, but Draco I can't marry you just because we are having children together. Yes, we are getting along a little better now but that's all because of the babies."

Draco looked at her as if she had grown another head. "Hermione, did you not hear what I told you upstairs? I cannot get you off of my mind and the reaction you had back to me made me think you felt the same way."

Hermione turned away from him. "Draco I just don't think it would be best for us to get married. I mean a wizarding marriage is binding. No divorce, so no getting out of it. I believe we may just kill one another. And you know just as well as I do that our children will be very powerful and very smart. They will be able to do anything they put their minds to and with you accepting them and not turning them away it means they will have a rich and powerful wizard backing them up."

Draco grabbed her arm as she went to walk away. "Hermione please think about the babies. Think about us. I know you feel the same way about me that I do you. I

felt it! I felt the passion coming from you earlier. I felt it the first time we slept together. I knew that it was the person I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with."

Hermione felt the tears coming to her eyes. "Draco I have to go. We have class in a few minutes with Professor Snape."

With that she pulled away and headed up the stairs. Draco didn't go change; he wasn't going to potions. He needed to think. He sat down on the couch and lay there just thinking.

Hermione came down the stairs. She didn't really want to go to class but she knew she had to. She was already missing too much stuff with this pregnancy thing. She needed to stay on top of things. She only glanced at Draco as she was walking out of the door. He did not say anything to her and he did not tell her goodbye as she put the charm on her stomach and walked out of the portrait.

Hermione walked down the hallway trying to hold back her tears. She wanted to marry Draco, she really did but something was holding her back. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was thinking about how Ron and Harry would take it when or if they found out.

Hermione braced herself as she opened the potions door. She was late and she knew the professor was going to take away points. Everyone in the classroom looked her way when she opened the door. Professor Snape raised a questioning eyebrow. "I'm sorry for being late Professor." Snape just sneered and gestured to her seat in the front of the room.

Hermione nodded and began the long walk down the aisle. As this was happening the students were whispering. Why had he not taken points away from her? Was he going soft on them? Had he gone mad?

Halfway down the aisle Hermione nearly collapsed. A sharp shooting pain ripped through her stomach. She yelled out. Harry and Blaise were immediately by her side. There was another sharp pain and Hermione collapsed into Blaise's arms. He looked at her in amazement as the spell wore off and her stomach was revealed. There was a collective gasp around the classroom. Blaise obviously had known about the baby but it was still a sight to see. Professor Snape grabbed her face. "Hermione, wake up stay with us. What's wrong? What's hurting?"

Hermione was in so much pain that she could barely breathe, let alone speak. Another shooting pain went through her and she grabbed her stomach. All she could manage to say was, "The babies."

The professor took Hermione from Blaise. "Go get Draco now! Blaise and Harry go get Professor Dumbledore have them meet me in the infirmary."

They both nodded and took off running each in the opposite direction but running as fast as they could.

The class looked on in shock as Professor Snape picked up Hermione and took off running toward the infirmary.

Draco was still lying on the couch, rolling his mothers ring in his hand and thought about Hermione. Fine, if she didn't want to marry him, he would live with it.

Just then there was a loud banging on the portrait. "DRACO!!! Answer now."

Draco got up and ran to the portrait opening it. Blaise came stumbling in. He was so winded he could barely breath; he looked as if he had just ran a marathon.

"What is it Blaise? Aren't you supposed to be in potions?"

Blaise was trying to catch his breath so he could speak. "Hermione… collapsed… potions… pain… Infirmary…"

Draco's heart dropped. "Oh my God, what happened?"

Blaise shook his head to show he had no idea. Draco then took off running not even caring that all he was wearing were his green silk boxers.

When he arrived at the doors to the infirmary, he slowed down. There was a crowd of students all from their year with Potter blocking the doors.

Draco walked in front of him. "Move Potter! Let me in there"

Harry almost growled. "No way, she is hurting and they need to work on her and they sent everyone out. Besides, why would I let you in there? You would just try to kill her or something… and why the hell are you only wearing boxers?"

Draco looked down and cringed but then shook it off, thinking back at Hermione. Potter wasn't budging and he was beginning to get angry. He needed to be in there. "I swear to Merlin Potter if you do not move, I will hex you from here to eternity. That is my future wife and children in there and nothing you do will stop me from being with them."

Harry was so taken aback along with everyone else waiting in the hallway by what Malfoy had just said he just stood there staring at him in shock and did not stop him when he pushed him aside and went into the doors.

When Draco made it through the doors, Harry looked at Ginny and Ron confused. Ginny just cleared her throat. "Hermione was going to tell you both but she did not know how you would react."

Ron just snorted. "I already knew I walked in on both of them this morning. They were having sex."

Ginny looked at him shocked. "Oh, Merlin Ron! What did you do? Did you do this to Hermione?"

Ron looked at her as if she had slapped him. "What? No, I swear I didn't do anything! Yes I was very angry and upset, but I would never do anything to hurt the babies. Merlin Ginny, I thought you knew me better than that." With that he walked away and sat down against the wall.

Ginny then looked to Harry. "So Harry, how are you taking it?"

Harry just shook his head. "Hermione…our Hermione is having little Ferret babies?"

Ginny nodded. "Yes Harry, but she really did not know it was Draco's babies until we came back to school. Draco has actually been really civil to her in private; they just know they have to keep the babies hidden because if it comes out the death eaters would try to kill her and the babies."

Harry nodded. "I can see that, but now it's out in the open."

Ginny nodded looking around at the crowd of students whom had just witnessed Draco announce that Hermione was his future wife and mother of his children.

Draco ran to Hermione's bedside. Her face was winced up in pain and she was holding onto her stomach for dear life.

Draco grabbed her hand and Hermione's eyes popped open and went to his face. "Oh thank Merlin you're here Draco, I really need you."

Draco nodded. "What's wrong what's happening?"

Hermione shook her head. "I don't know I just know it hurts so badly."

Another pain shot through her. Draco grimaced a little as she squeezed his hand but he didn't let go. She then began to fade again, almost passing out

Draco held her hand tighter and kissed it as another pain shot through her. "Oh Merlin Hermione, please don't faint. Stay with me. I need you with me."

Hermione opened her eyes and gave Draco a weak smile.

"Draco, why are you only wearing boxers?"

Draco looked down and turned crimson. "I was in a rush when Blaise told me you were here… I just took off running. I didn't even realize it until Potter asked me the same question."

Just then Madam Pomfrey came around the curtain with Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore.

"Someone has put a stomach cramping spell on Miss Granger, more than likely thinking it was an innocent prank. But since Miss Granger is pregnant, it is causing stress on the babies. It started labor. We are going to give her a potion to stop the spell and stop the labor but since the babies have been under such stress I am sorry Miss Granger but you cannot continue to use the concealment spell."

Hermione nodded. "Everyone in the potions class saw my stomach anyways. It's going to be all around the school within an hour."

Professor Dumbledore gave her a weak smile. "Yes, gossip does travel fast. At least we can keep the father's identity a secret."

Draco groaned. "I may have messed that up a few moments ago Professor. You see Potter was blocking the doorway and I needed to get in here I needed to be with Hermione and well…"

Professor Dumbledore smiled. "I understand. We all do things without thinking sometimes when we are worried about someone we care about."

Madame Pomfrey then gave Hermione two different potions and it was only a moment before the cramps and labor pains stopped.

Hermione smiled. "Oh thank you Madame Pomfrey."

Professor Snape then cleared his throat. "So whom do you think cast the spell on you Miss Granger? Have you made anyone angry lately?"

Hermione shook her head but Draco growled and stood up walking toward the door. "I am going to kill him with my bare hands; I don't need a wand."

Hermione gasped. She knew exactly who he was going after.

The doors flew open and Harry and Ginny perked up. "Is she alright? What's going on?"

Draco ignored them and walked straight to Ron.

Before Ron could do anything Draco pulled him up his shirt then throwing him against the wall.

"I know you did it Weasel. I will kill you with my bare hands."

Ron was beginning to turn the color of his hair.

"I didn't do anything Malfoy! I don't know what you're talking about."

Draco slammed him against the wall again. "Someone cast a stomach cramping spell on Hermione! That is what caused all of this. It just so happens that not even an hour before you were cursing us both."

Ginny and Harry both pulled out their wands.

Ginny walked up, looking into Draco's face. "He didn't do it Draco. Let him go."

Draco looked into Ron's face. "I don't believe him. You didn't see how angry he was when he left mine and Hermione's rooms."

Just then Blaise yelled from down the hall. "Let him go Draco, he didn't do it!"

Draco looked at Blaise whom was dragging a crying Pansy with him.

When he reached Draco he shoved Pansy toward Draco. "It was Pansy. She did it."

Draco let Ron go forgetting about him. Blaise gave Pansy another push. "I found her crying on the way here. She confessed everything to me."

Draco was doing his best not to do the same thing to her that he had done to Ron.

"Why would you do this Pansy?"

Pansy was still sobbing. "I didn't mean for it to hurt her bad, I promise. It was just supposed to make her have a few cramps. I didn't know she was pregnant and I was so angry that she interrupted our time together."

Draco was extremely glad he didn't have his wand. "Blaise take her away now before I do something I will not proud of."

Draco then turned to Ron who was still up against the wall. "I'm sorry Weasley, I just assumed I mean…."

Ron just pulled away from the wall and stormed down the hall.

Draco then cleared his throat and looked at the large group of students around him.

"She is doing fine now."

With that, he went back into the infirmary where Hermione was waiting very impatiently.

"What the hell happened out there? Who were you going to kill?"

Draco blushed and sat down again.

The professors were also waiting for his answer.

"I thought that it was Ron who had done it since he was so angry about finding us…you know…."

Professor Snape raised an eyebrow and Professor Dumbledore chuckled.

"But it wasn't him. It was Pansy; she was getting back at you for interrupting me and her you know about to..."

Professor Snape just rolled his eyes. "Merlin Draco I'm surprised Miss Granger is the first girl you've gotten pregnant."

Draco just looked down.

The Professors said their goodbyes and Madame Pomfrey told Hermione that she should be fine but that she would need to stay overnight in the infirmary just in case and that her stomach would be very sore for a day or two.

The students that had been outside of the room had been told to go away. They would see Hermione in the morning.

Draco however refused to leave.

Hermione had fallen asleep not long after the professors had left.

Madame Pomfrey had given him a spare uniform she had in the back room to put over just his boxers.

Draco sat lay in the bed next to her just looking at her for a long time, thinking.

He had to find a way to make her marry him. After what had happened tonight, he wanted to be there for her always.

He was going to marry Hermione Granger. He just needed to figure out how.
