Snape stood outside her door. She'd just slammed the door in his face. Honestly, it shouldn't have upset him. He should be used to it by now, but it did. He shook his head and turned to leave. He wasn't two steps from the door when he heard her scream. He pulled out his wand and blew the door off the hinges. He stepped over the pieces and walked into the room. Ana was lying on the floor clutching her stomach. As he reached her he could hear footsteps running up the stairs and down the hall.

"OH MY!" shouted Narcissa as she rounded the corner.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" shouted Bellatrix who was only seconds behind her sister.

"Owl St. Mungo's and let them know I'm on my way," Snape said ignoring their shouts.

Narcissa disappeared to send the owl while Bella followed close behind Snape. Draco was standing at the bottom of the grand staircase watching everything. He didn't look the least bit worried.

"Floo will probably be the best way…" started Narcissa, but Snape walked right past the living room.

The front door flew open and he walked out and down then front path.

"What are you doing?" asked Bella as they reached the front gate.

"I will apparate there and return," he said stepping through the wrought iron gate.

As soon as he was on the other side he disappeared. Bella stood there a moment before she ran back into the house. Draco was still standing at the stairs, but now he had a smirk on his face. Bella frowned at him but walked back into the dining room. Narcissa saw the smirk as well and made a mental note to talk to him after the meeting.

Snape appeared just outside the Wizarding Hospital. He wasn't two steps inside when two Healers rushed to him.

'What happened?" they asked looking over Ana.

"I'm not quite sure," he said.

The head Healer nodded and cast a levitating charm on Ana's body. As they started to move her down the hall Snape stopped the other Healer.

"She is pregnant as well," he said.

The Healer nodded and took off after the first. When they were out of sight Snape apparated back to Malfoy Manor. He was bombarded by Bella as soon as he was through the door. He completely ignored her and sought out Narcissa and Draco.

Narcissa jumped when the living room doors slammed open. Draco was lounging on one of the sofas. Apparently Narcissa had been lecturing him. The doors slammed closed behind Snape and locked. He pulled out his wand and advanced on his godson. Draco was still wearing his smirk.

"What did you do to her?!" shouted Snape pointing his wand at Draco.

"Severus!" shouted Narcissa, but he was deaf to her shouting.

"Whatever do you mean?" asked Draco.

"You know exactly what I mean! What did you do?!" shouted Snape again, this time putting his wand to Draco's cheek.

Before Draco could say anything there was a blood curdling scream from the other side of the door. Snape waved his wand and the door flung open. Bella was crumpled on the floor clutching a piece of parchment. Snape saw an owl fly out an open window out of the corner of his eye. He walked over to Bella and pulled the parchment from her. Rodolphus and Lucius helped her to her feet before taking her up the stairs. Snape looked down at the parchment for only a moment before crumpling it in his hand.

"Severus?" asked Narcissa. "What's happened?"

"She's lost the baby," he said quietly. "The healers said she's ingested some kind of potion that terminated the pregnancy," he said stiffly.

"I'm sso ssorry, Draco," said Voldemort from the dining room door. "Ssuch a sshame sshe did ssuch a thing."

"She just couldn't handle it I guess," he said shrugging his shoulders.

"When will she be home?" asked Narcissa.

"They want to hold on to her to see if they can figure out what potion she took," said Snape.

Snape whirled around and grabbed Draco by his arm. He then proceeded to drag him up the stairs without a word to anyone. When they reached the floor above the door to Draco's room swung open. Once they were inside the door slammed closed and warded itself. If looks could kill Draco would've been six foot under at this point.

"What…did…you…give…her?" he asked through clenched teeth.

"I don't know what you're talking about," smirked Draco. "She just couldn't handle being a mother of a bastard."

Snape just stared at him.

"You think I didn't know?" said Draco. "You think I'm so stupid that I wouldn't figure out what mother wanted some of my hair for? There are only a few potions that require a piece of someone and I highly doubt she was making polyjuice potion!"

Snape was still quiet.

"It also helped that I overheard Madam Pomfrey and McGonagall talking about it, as well," said Draco. "So how does it feel, Snape? Huh? To know that you've been bested by a 17 year old?"

Snape pulled his wand out and pointed it at Draco, "Stupefy."

A jet of red light flew out of the end of his and. Draco fell back onto the floor. Snape sneered at him before he disapparated from the house.

St. Mungo's

Snape walked into the hospital. It was well past midnight and visiting hours were long since gone. As he neared the front desk a medi-witch walked over to him.

"Hello, Headmaster," she said. "Are you here to see about Anastasia?"

"Yes," he said looking down at the petite witch.

"Follow me," she said. "Normally we don't let visitors in this late to see patients, but since this happened at Hogwarts I figured you would want to know what was going on."

Snape nodded. The witch opened the last door at the end of the hallway. There was only one candle burning in the whole room. She picked up the candle and walked over to the bed. She picked up the chart and scanned over it before replacing it.

"How…how is she?" he asked.

"She's gone through a lot," said the witch. "Do you mind if we talk in the hallway, she's asleep right now?"

Snape nodded and stepped backwards into the hallway. The witch followed, closing the door behind her.

"Now, I'm sure you're aware that she was with child, right?" asked the witch.

"Yes," said Snape.

"From what we've found out so far is that she took a potion to abort the pregnancy. It was a very diluted potion since we only found small amounts in her system," said the witch. "We think she was mixing it with a contraceptive potion as a precaution."

"Do you…ahem…know who the father is?" he asked.

"The healer who attended her does. Would you like me to get Hazel?" asked the witch.

"Please," said Snape.

The witch walked down the hall to the front of the hospital. A few moments later she returned with a plump witch following her. The other one eyed him with suspicion.

"Follow me, Headmaster," she said walking past him.

She waved her wand and another door appeared. It was her office. He followed her inside and closed the door behind him before he took a seat. While he was doing this she pulled a file out of the large stack on her desk and sat down.

"Miss Lestrange was two months pregnant, is that correct, when you brought her in earlier?" asked Hazel.

Snape nodded.

"After a few tests we found out quite a few things," she said. "One was who the father had been, but you already knew that, didn't you? We confirmed this by talking to Madam Pomfrey at Hogwarts. The second thing we found out was that she'd been with another man not long ago, a Mister Malfoy," she said glancing at the paper, "Ah, her husband."

"None of this is news to me," said Snape. "I was present at their union."

The woman glared at him before looking down at the folder. "We also found the abortion potion in her system. The interesting thing is she didn't drink it directly from the phial. We found a small pin prick on her left hip. It was injected into her system for maximum effect."

Snape nodded.

"The unusual thing about it is that the injection sight isn't where she would've been able to do it herself," said Hazel eyeing the man in front of her.

"Stop suspecting me!" shouted Snape. "If I didn't want her to procreate I would've taken the precautions beforehand!"

"I find it odd that a girl who is just barely of age is found pregnant by her Headmaster and then within two months aborts the pregnancy," said Hazel. "So until I have further proof, you are our prime suspect."

Snape stood up abruptly and left the office. He'd had enough of the woman. He opened the door to Ana's room and walked in. He locked and warded the door before he took a seat next to her bed. He leaned forward and lightly touched her hand. He knew it was Draco. Draco had been completely against the arrangement from the start. He sighed as he leaned back in his chair. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. It had been a very stressful week.

Ana woke up to the sound of someone snoring. When she'd gone to bed the night before she'd been the only one in her room. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Finally her gaze fell on the source of the snoring. Snape was slouched in the chair fast asleep. He looked terrible, like he'd been awake most of the night. Or the past few nights.

Ana sighed as she looked down at her stomach. Healer Hazel had told her what had happened but now how it had happened. She was still trying to figure that part out. She pulled her knees up to her chest and leaned her head on them. She stayed like that until she heard shifting beside her.

"Good morning, professor," she said not looking at him.

"Morning," he replied. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine, I guess," she said. "They told me what happened."

Snape nodded.

"And don't ask me what I took because I don't remember taking anything other than my contraceptive potion," she said. "And I would brew that the right before. So I know no one tampered with that."

"It was injected into your hip," said Snape. "What most likely happened is that a spell was put on you while you were asleep and someone injected it straight into your system."

Ana finally turned to look at him and Snape was finally able to get a good look at her. Her face was puffy and her eyes were bloodshot and red. She'd been crying, and from the looks of it, she'd been doing it for a while.

"Was…was it you?" she asked as her voice started to quaver.

"No," he said. "He was instantly by her side. "I wouldn't ever do something like that to you. But I don't have a feeling I know who it was. It's just getting the confession out of him."

"Draco," said Ana knowing exactly who he was talking about.

"I must return to the Manor. Bell will want to know what's going on," said Snape.

Ana nodded as he kissed the top of her head. He disappeared out of the room a moment later.

Malfoy Manor

Everyone, minus Voldemort, was sitting at the dining room table eating breakfast when Snape returned to the house. Bella was out of her seat in an instant and practically running across the room to Snape.

"Well!? What did they say!?" she shouted.

"Call yourself and return to your seat," said Snape pulling her hands off his robes.

Bella reluctantly let go of his robes and sat back down. Snape took his place at the table as the house elf brought food over for him. Bella was staring at him waiting for him to say something. Snape rolled his eyes and spoke.

"She is fine," said Snape. "They know what she took and how she took it."

"Why did she do it?" asked Bella.

"She didn't," said Snape. "Someone injected it into her hip while she'd been sleeping."

"But who would do such a thing?!" said Narcissa.

"Do they know who?" asked Lucius.

"They have an idea but nothing is definite," he said. "They originally thought she'd mixed it with a contraceptive potion since they found that in her system as well."

"Why was she taking contraceptive potions if she was already pregnant?" asked another witch.

"She only just found out," said Narcissa. "She didn't know she was pregnant already."

"But why was she taking the potions to begin with?" asked the witch. "The whole point of this union was to prolong the pure-bloods."

"She didn't want to have children," said Draco solemnly looking down at his plate.

He's playing the depressed father part well, thought Snape as he sneered at his Godson.

Just then an own flew in through an open window and dropped an enveloped on the table in front of Snape. He opened it and read the letter enclosed inside. He slowly folded it up and stood up from the table. He walked around to where Bella was sitting and handed her the letter. She looked slightly confused as she took it from him and read it.

As everyone watched her they saw the expression on her face go from confused to hurt to livid in the space of a few seconds. She slammed the letter down on the table as she stood up. She was glaring at her nephew at this point.

"Dear Headmaster, I'm sorry for the assumptions yesterday during your visit. After further testing we have discovered who injected Mrs. Malfoy with the abortion potion. We, unfortunately, have discovered that it was her husband, Mr. Draco Malfoy, who delivered the potion. We have come to this conclusion after piecing everything together. The abortion potion, the contraceptive potion and his semen were all present at the same time in her body. Had it been someone else the abortion potion would've only been found with onethe others listed. We are sorry for your loss. ~Healer Hazel, St. Mungo's," recited Bellatrix.

By now she was standing behind Draco. All the color that had been in his face was completely gone.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING TO YOUR WIFE!?" shouted Bella. "TO MY DAUGHTER?!"

"IT WASN'T MY BABY! SHE WAS CARRYING HIS BASTARD!" shouted Draco pointing at Snape.

Bella whirled around to stare at Snape. "Wh-what?!" she said in disbelief. "You s-slept with her knowing she was married to your godson!?"

"In my defense our liaison had started almost a year before she was wed to Draco," said Snape.

"She would've been underage at that point, Severus," said Narcissa.

"You will be happy to know, Bella, that she has picked up on your conniving ways," said Snape.

Bella smiled for a moment before she turned back to face her nephew. "Wait until the Dark Lord hears about this. You will wish you'd never seen her!" shouted Bella as she rolled up her dress sleeve.

"Bella, please!" shouted Narcissa. "Let's be rational about this. I'm sure we can handle this without having to bring him into it!" said Narcissa grabbed her sister's arm.

Bella hesitated before she lowered her arms. As she did so she grabbed her wand and pointed it at Draco. "Stupefy!" she shouted.

Draco fell back onto the floor for the second time in two days. Narcissa glanced at her husband who had a shocked look on his face. She looked over at her son and shook her head.

"Lucius, would you take him up to his room please," said Narcissa.

Lucius stood and waved his wand, levitating his son a few feet off the floor before he left the room.
