AN: Sorry for not updating sooner I started two new Fanfics and it takes some time to get the right feeling for a story and figure out where you want to go with it. One is Remione and the other is Neville/Luna. I've also been thinking about doing you some Smallville Fanfics so please give me a shout out if you like that idea. So I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going to go with this story and it will be medium length just a warning. This chapter has some dark and intense stuff going so just be prepared. Once again anything you recognize is JK Rowling's anything you don't is mine.
Draco POV
My crazy Aunt Bellatrix tortured my beautiful wife. Just to make me not want her, which wasn't possible. Bella probably wanted to put her in her place.
I held Hermione as she cried into my neck. She had been crying for awhile now but I could hardly blame her. I was having a hard time of it myself. Knowing that she was going to be tortured and not be able to stop it since there was a possibility of losing the war was horrible.
Harry was talking softly with Ron, Neville and James. I think they were trying to figure out everything they could about the last battle so we wouldn't get anymore surprises like that.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE WAS TORTURED!" Ron yelled looking the palest I had ever seen him. Pregnant? She had been pregnant?
Hermione pulled away from me her face red and blotchy. She turned to James and glared at him darkly. "Tell us everything."
James turned to Harry who nodded. Harry, Ron and Neville sat on one couch while James walked over slowly and sat on the other couch, blue color changing the usual yellow and orange. He blew out a heavy breath and ran a nervous hand through his hair.
"You and Mr Malfoy eloped before you were on the run." I stiffened in shock but Hermione looked confused.
"But what about the pictures?" She asked lifting up one of the many scrapbooks.
"You renewed your wedding vows, of course neither of your parents found out and thought it was the first time around." James said nervously.
"Merlin," Neville muttered wiping at his eyes. Hermione and I exchanged a surprised look. We had eloped. Merlin I hope our parents never found out. Mum would be furious.
"What about the baby?" Hermione asked her voice faint.
James' face paled drastically and his cheeks tinged green. "It was probably one of th worst things that happened during the war. Mrs Malfoy had been tortured pretty badly but then they realized you were five months pregnant. Bellatrix was furious. She –" he swallowed thickly and shook his head. "She cut the baby out of you and killed him."
Tears were trickling down my cheeks and Hermione was sobbing softly into her hands.
"Her and Tom Riddle left you to bleed out. You almost did but mum saved you. She was hit with a pretty intense Crucio and Mrs Snape was stabbed in the leg."
"Who killed Bellatrix?" Harry asked his face pale, tears in his eyes.
"Mr Longbottom." James said as if it was obvious. We all turned to Neville whose mouth was open in shock.
"What?" Neville looked shocked. "I couldn't have!"
"Well you did, you stabbed her repeatedly with the sword of Gryffindor." I smiled subconsciously. Way to go Nev!
"At least she's dead." Ron muttered.
"But she killed our baby." Hermione whimpered, her voice catching on the word baby.
"Can we just not let her get Hermione?" I asked turning to the others. Hermione was breaking down and was having a hard time keeping it together.
"It could completely change the outcome of the war." Harry whispered his face pale. "For the greater good."
"How can you possibly say that! My son will be sacrificed!" I spat glaring at them. Hermione sobbed and ran into the bathroom.
"Draco –"
"Don't." I growled at them and turned towards the bathroom. Hermione had magically locked the door.
"Baby let me in." Her only response was sobbing. "Sweetheart please."
The door unlocked and I opened it. Hermione was hunched over in the bathtub bubbles surrounding her. Her face was pressed against her knees and her sobs cut through me like a knife. I had never seen her in so much pain before.
I did the only thing I could think of and pulled off my clothes. Hermione didn't notice and I slipped behind her into the large tub. She stiffened for a moment before relaxing back against me. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close. "I've got you Sweetheart."
She sniffled and pressed her face against my arm. "Our son."
"I know love." I whispered and let her cry. Tears streaked down my own cheeks and placed my cheek against the top of her head. Why couldn't life just be easy for once?
