Last time:

I knew you'd be here

You mean so much to me

Meet me by the kitchens at 10

I love you

On with the story:

Hermione had put her best outfit on. It was a green dress with shiny beads around the neckline. She loved the way it made her look. Hermione had done a little magical alteration in the mid-section, but it still looked great.

Hermione had been having really bad morning sickness and now she felt like she had a huge cold. She felt dizzy as she walked down the stairs towards the kitchens. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her belly. She grabbed onto the sword of a statue in the entrance hall. Hermione bent over and started to take deep breaths until she felt okay again.

When she looked up, she could see the doorway that led to the underground kitchens. She stood up straight and made her way slowly to the doorway. She looked down and saw Draco pacing to and fro, wringing his hands.

Hermione realized that he was nervous. She was overcome with a completely new type of feeling. Someone was nervous to see her… This was strange. Hermione sat down on the top step of another set of stairs. She made a throat-clearing noise and Draco looked up. He smiled and rushed over to her.

"How long have you been sitting there?" he asked her.

"Not, three seconds." Hermione replied.

"Well then," Draco started, speaking like a tour guide, "If you would like to stand up, we can start our little adventure."

Hermione looked at Draco surprised. "I thought we would have a little snack in the kitchens." she said.

"You'll see my darling."

Hermione stood up and Draco wrapped his arm around her. He led her down the stairs and through the corridor that led to the portrait of the fruit. It was getting dark down this corridor, so Draco quickly lit his wand. He led her down a series of forks in the corridor that he had obviously memorized. They didn't talk the whole time; just being in each other's presence was enough. (A.N. I know, corny)

After about three minutes of walking in the dark, Draco finally led Hermione out into what looked like a forest clearing. The moon overhead was making a slight glow over the area. Hermione looked around and was totally amazed. She looked into the very center of the clearing and there was a very small table that was laden with food. There was a basket of buns, several types of fruit and sweets.

"Draco, are we outside?" Hermione asked with surprise.

Draco looked at her with a grin on his face. "Yep, we're at the very back of the castle. No body comes here because they are convinced it's part of the forbidden forest, but it isn't. If you look through the trees very hard you can see the forest further away."

"When did you find this place?"

Draco looked up at her. He frowned for a second, and then grinned. "My father showed it to me in first year. He said it was for me to take someone special to. He explained that as a student here, his friends would always use this spot to bring their slutty girlfriends. I thought it's been a long enough time for that filth to be washed away. I want to make this spot more innocent." A tear fell down Draco's face and he turned his head away from Hermione. He started to walk away, but stumbled and fell down. He now began to sob uncontrollably.

Hermione slowly walked over to him and put her hand on his cheek. "It's allright." She said soothingly.

Draco reached up and pulled her gently down to the ground with him. Hermione wrapped both her arms around him and held him tenderly, rocking slightly. Draco took some time to finish crying, and when he did, he wiped his eyes vigorously.

"I don't want to be like my father. I want to be like you." He said.

"Like me?"

"You are amazing, you're smart, and you're innocent…"

"Draco, I'm not totally innocent. I'm having a baby." Hermione said.

Draco laughed and kissed Hermione belly. He got to his feet and helped Hermione up. He led her to the little table and they began to eat.
