This is the shortest chapter I have done in a while, but it is very essential to the story. I'm sorry if you think it starts to get a bit weird here, but it helps with the story. Enjoy :)

Chapter Twenty Five

6 Months

Hermione was now in her sixth month of Pregnancy and a lot had changed since then. In her fourth month she had felt her baby move for the first time.

She had been sitting by the lake reading a book, Lucretia and Narcissa not too far off talking. She had been stretching when a sudden fluttering feeling flashed across her stomach.

Hermione had been so excited she had yelled for Lucius, who was in the stables. He had coming running over, panicking something was wrong, only to see Hermione smiling.

"What? What's wrong?" He had asked, a tad confused.

Hermione had just reached out for him. Lucius had placed his hand in hers and Hermione had placed it on her stomach. They had waited for a moment before he too felt the kicking.

Lucius had kissed her happily and spent the rest of the day sat by the lake with her, touching her stomach.

Just six weeks before, Lucius and Hermione had been told they could be told the sex of the baby.

Hermione had said no at the exact same time Lucius had said yes. So that was the beginning of an argument that had only been solved the night before when they lay in bed talking.

So now, Hermione was laid on the table while Doctor Neilson did the usual routine of pushing down around Hermione's stomach to check the baby's position and such.

"Okay, then. Your baby's fine. Shall we get to the scan? Have you decided if you want to know yet?" Doctor Neilson asked.

Hermione looked at Lucius, who nodded, before smiling widely at the Muggle Woman.

"We'd like to know please." Hermione replied.

"Very well." Doctor Neilson smiled before applying the gel and running the sensor over it.

Once more the image formed on the screen. Doctor Neilson moved the sensor around a bit, searching for the sign that would tell her if the baby was a boy or girl.

Finally she found it and stayed there for a moment, checking that she wasn't mistaken.

Doctor Neilson smiled at the young couple before her. "Congratulations, Lucius and Hermione, you are having a son."

Hermione gasped as memories flashed through her mind's eye.

"Malfoy, Draco."

The blond boy from before took a seat on the stool. The hat had hardly touched his head before the Hat made its decision on which house to place him in. "Slytherin!"

"No-one asked you, filthy little Mudblood." The blonde boy, now twelve and shouldering his broom, sneered.

Hermione felt tears sting her eyes as she glared angrily at the boy she loathed more than any other.

Hermione stormed towards the laughing blonde. "You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" She snarled, pointing her wand at his throat.

"Leave it, Hermione. He's not worth it." Ron called.

Hermione lowered her wand and the Malfoy heir laughed at her. Before anyone could comprehend what she was doing, Hermione had spun on her heel and punched him in the nose.

Moody levelled his wand at the Malfoy Heir. Next minute, the blonde was gone and in his place was a ferret. Moody began to bounce the ferret around the courtyard to the laughs of the students.

The Malfoy heir was sucking up to Umbridge. He was currently holding Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna hostage in the mad Headmistress' office. A smirk was settled on his lips as he finally got one up on the Golden Trio.

The young Malfoy repelled a Dementor from sucking out Hermione's soul. The sixteen year old girl looked up at him, her mouth slightly ajar in surprise. "Don't believe the worst of everyone, Granger. Sometimes we have no choice on who we become." The blonde drawled before running off to help someone else.

Pansy Parkinson was draped over the youngest Malfoy, her fiancé. The blonde looked up and his slate eyes caught on a new addition to their classroom. "Would you look at that? That Mudblood has joined us once more." He drawled.

Hermione pressed her hand to the small bump on her stomach. She was pregnant with Draco Malfoy.

"We're having a son." Lucius whispered, just as much in awe as he was the first time he had seen Draco's image for the first time. "I have the perfect name."

"Oh?" Hermione asked weakly.

"Draco, because it means Dragon and like Dragons, Malfoy's are all powerful, Jonathon, because that was your father's name, Malfoy." Lucius grinned.

"Perfect." Hermione murmured, stroking circles on the bump where her future enemy now resided.

On the monitor, Draco seemed to be responding to his mother's touch. He rolled over and moved his tiny arms around to get comfortable with his mother's movements.

Hermione removed her hand and Draco settled for lying on his side. At once, the tiny hand popped up to his mouth and he began to suck his thumb.

Hermione chuckled quietly. She had never pictured the proud, cold Draco Malfoy sucking his thumb.

"He's so cute." Lucius breathed.

Hermione gave him a funny look. "Cute?" She asked, her voice full of scepticism.

"Well he is!" Lucius whined in defence.

Hermione giggled and hugged her husband. Doctor Neilson shook her head at the young couple and sent the image off to be printed. "I'll just go get the picture."

Hermione sat in the library in Malfoy Manor, staring at the picture of her tiny son who would become the blonde brat she loathed.

The fireplace flared green and Bellatrix stepped out of it. "Good afternoon!" Bellatrix sang.

Hermione looked up and smiled. "Hi."

"What are you looking at?" Bellatrix asked, moving so she could look at the picture.

"My son. We found out that our baby was a boy. We're calling him Draco Jonathon Malfoy." Hermione replied.

"Wow. Is that a Muggle image?" Bellatrix replied, sneering slightly at the Muggle image.

"Yes. I insisted when I went for my first check up. Lucius had no choice." Hermione chuckled.

Bellatrix shook her head and sunk into the chair closest to Hermione's own. "You're too stubborn sometimes."
"I'm a Gryffindor. What do you expect?" Hermione joked, sticking her tongue out at Bellatrix.

Bellatrix laughed and shook her head at her friend. "You're a little mad sometimes."

"A hazard of hanging around with you." Hermione teased.

"Ha, ha. Look at little miss funny over here." Bellatrix deadpanned, her features schooled into a bored look.

Hermione laughed and Bellatrix couldn't help but smile along with her. "So are you happy? With a son?" Bellatrix asked, watching her friend closely.

Hermione stroked the image with her finger, tracing the outline of Draco's head. "Yes, I am happy."

Please Read and Review. I hope you liked this chapter and the next one should be a bit longer. Next Chapter: Draco is born and baby Harry is introduced.
