Hermione shook and sobbed. Draco paced next to her, not really sure what to do, as Hermiones sobs became more and more painful to listen to.
"Hermione.." Her sobs became louder. He sighed deeply, and walked over to the young witch and sat down next to her. She sniffled and lokked at him; her eyes were overflowing with tears, and her nose ran.
"I'm so sorry.." He tried for the fifth time, and she threw herself at him, clinging to him while sobbing into his shirt, making it wetter by the minute. He held her for the longest time, when Lucius appeared in the doorway to Draco's room.
"You two need to head back." He drawled, looking a bit alarmed by the outburst of tears following his statement.
"She's... Upset." Draco said, and found it amusing that his father was so appalled by tears. Lucius nodded and walked out of the room.
"Dra-c-coo, can't we just.. st-a-ay?" She sobbing, and burying her head into his shirt again.
"No, Hermione, we have to go back. I'm telling you, your parents will get over it. Maybe not now, but later. Okay?" She nodded into his chest.
"Come on." He pulled them both to their feet, and started walking to the door - Hermione wobbled a bit.
They managed to get to the drawing-room where Draco's parents waited for them. Hermione looked at them, and suddenly she was embraced by a pair of slender arms. She started to feel tears welling up again, and she whimpered again.
Narcissa let go of her, and looked into her eyes.
"You will pull through this, and so will your parents." She said, and stroked Hermiones shoulder. Draco coughed loudly in the background, and Hermione turned to him.
"I'm ready." He took her hand, and they walked into the green fire.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, lovely to see you again." They heard McGonnagall's voice before they saw her. Hermione was alarmed by the look on McGonnagall's face.
"What happened?" She demanded.
"Well... Someone must have found out what is going on with you two. There's rumours everywhere." She snorted.
"But.. We kept quiet..." Draco said, stunned. Hermione looked at him.
"Sandra. The portrait. it would happen, and we knew it." She looked at McGonnagall. "Professor, Sandra Mulberry is... The tell-tale, so to say. She got the information from the portrait of an old lady hanging in my room, and i'm sure you will give both parties a fair punishment." She said coldly.
McGonnagall nodded.
"You two are free to leave. Go on." They both said goodbye, and walked down the spiral-staircase.
As soon as they were out on the hallway, people were surrounding them.
"Are you really pregnant? Is it true?" echoed around them, and Draco tried to move Hermione away from the flok of people.
"OI!" A voice came from the middle. "LEAVE THEM ALONE, YOU SQUIBS." Blaise appeared with a huge smile on his face.
"Blaise." Draco breathed, and rushed to hug his best friend. The students surrounding them looked dissapointed and left, scattering around the hall.
"Why wasn't I the first to know? Am i not your best friend, huh?" He asked teasingly.
"We're sorry, Blaise, but we.. Kind of wanted to keep it a secret." Hermione said bashfully.
"No harm done. Although, i'm pretty sure it's not a secret, really." They laughed and started walking towards the Head-boy and girl's common-room.
A hooded figure appeared from behind them; the didn't notice, and the figure kept quiet, trailing them with light steps, stepping back into the shadows whenever they turned a corner.
The figure watched from a distance when they reached their common-room; hearing the light banter passing through the young students, and watched in horror as Draco put his hand upon Hermiones stomach. The password rang loud and clear, and the hooded figure smiled.
Finally, it was time to shine.
