Chapter 26

Congratulations

HERMIONE--

When Draco and I woke up the morning after Valentine's Day we went to get some breakfast. We had classes that day so we wanted to be energized enough to stay awake. We reached the Great Hall and went to our seperate tables as usual. I sat down next to Ginny and started to fill my plate.

"So what did you and Draco do yesterday?" She asked looking at me.

"We had a romantic dinner and, well, you can figure out the rest." I told her as I ate some sausage.

"Yeah, guess what." She said bouncing happily in her seat.

"What?" I asked looking at her.

"Alex asked me to marry him." She said holding out her left hand.

"Wow. That's amazing, Gin. So, I guess you two had a little fun last night too." I smiled at her.

"Oh, yeah." She replied. We talked more over the remainder of breakfast. Then we went our seperate ways as class was drawing closer. I met Draco in front of the dungeons and we waited for the door to open. Everyone slowly appeared from breakfast, many of them didn't look very happy. Harry and Ron were extremely happy and excited when they arrived.

"What's gotten into you two?" I asked when they showed up.

"Well, Ron here asked Cassie to marry him and she said yes, and I met this girl last week, her name is Shelly, well, we had a nice day together yesterday. I really like her. She's from Ravenclaw but she's beautiful. She's a sixth year, she's so nice, and beautiful." He said getting a dreamy look that reminded me too much of Luna.

"Wow. That's amazing you guys, looks like everyone's happy and has someone to love nowadays." I said looking at my two friends.

"Yeah, well you're the only one who's having a kid thankfully." Ron whispered smiling at me. He knew that we hadn't told anyone yet. I was afraid that one of the teachers was going to find out and I was going to get repremanded for having sex before marriage. If my parents didn't mind, then no one else should either.

"Get in here now!" Snape yelled as he opened the door. We all entered the room and went to our seats.

"Well, I am now making it to where no gentlemen can sit next to the ladies, obviously it's too much of a distraction having both sexes mingling with each other. So, all girls to the right of the room and all boys to the left." He said angrily. We all looked at each other in confusion but moved anyway.

"So, now that we are all situated, we can get started." He said turning to the board. None of us paid attention to what he was saying, I was too busy feeling sick to my stomach, I knew that the baby was the reason for it but it didn't make me feel any better about it.

"Professor?" I asked raising my hand.

"What is it Miss Granger, I haven't asked a question." He sneered at me, much like Draco did when we were younger.

"Sir, I don't feel well, may I go to Madame Pomfrey?" I asked feeling like I was going to vomit.

"Miss Granger, you will stay here, that way you can learn to not sleep with boys before marriage and get pregnant before you should. You will deal with the nausea, while I continue with the lesson." He said to me.

"Excuse me Professor, but that is none of your business." I said feeling the tears well up in my eyes as everyone in the class turned to look at me. I knew Draco was getting very angry, I could feel his anger as if it was my own.

"It's my business when one of my house will have his future plans ruined because some girl decided she wanted to have a fling with him." He said in a harsh tone.

"You bastard!" I heard Draco yell from the other side of the room.

"Watch your mouth boy." He turned on Draco.

"You watch your mouth. You have NO right to talk to her like that. She didn't ruin my future plans, you all think I want to follow Voldemort, I DON'T! I hope that someone kills him soon, all he does is ruin lives. I am not going to let you, Voldemort of my father ruin my life. I have my life just the way I want it right now, no one can change the way I feel." He yelled.

DRACO--

"Well, Mr. Malfoy, it appears that you don't know when to shut your mouth. This girl gets pregnant and so you feel you have a responsibility to take care of her. You should be smarter then that." Snape said to me. I could feel Hermione's pain. I knew she was crying, I knew she was embarrassed, I hated that she had to feel that.

"Snape, you have embarrassed my fiancee, and you have insulted me. Hermione and I are leaving this room right now." I said looking at him. As I was walking to Hermione, Ron and Harry stood as well.

"We're going too." Ron said glaring at Snape.

"So am I." I heard, it was Pansy. I cocked an eyebrow at her but just continued to Hermione. I then looked around and the majority of the classroom was on their feet. I led Hermione out of the classroom and marched straight up to Dumbledore's office.

I said every sweet that I could think of and then I thought of one more. The one that I used for my password, I couldn't believe that I hadn't thought of it before.

"Licorice wands." I said and the gargoyle jumped aside.

"Stay here, all of you, I'll go get Dumbledore and bring him down here." I said looking at everyone, they all nodded at me and Harry and Ron took over comforting Hermione.

"Professor?" I said as I knocked on the door.

"Yes?" I heard him say from the other side, I entered the room and saw him sitting behind his desk.

"Sir, I have a serious complaint about Professor Snape." I said trying not to curse the man.

"What might that be young Mr. Malfoy?" He asked.

"He embarrassed Hermione in front of the entire class, he wouldn't let her go to Madame Pomfrey, as you might know she's pregnant and she has been feeling sick lately. He just made her cry in front of the entire class, we hadn't told anyone that way Hermione wouldn't have to deal with the pain of embarrassment of a teacher saying something about her being pregnant, and he somehow found out." I said in a hurry.

"Well, Mr. Malfoy, I will talk to Severus right now." He said standing from his desk.

"Professor, almost everyone left the class because of what he did, I also yelled at him, and it wasn't good. I'm sorry sir, but no one agreed with what he did and so we all left. Where do you want us to go?" I asked.

"Take everyone to your common room and let them stay there for a while." He replied.

"Yes, sir. I will take them there now." I said heading down the stairs.

"Okay everyone, we are going to go to the Head's common room. Follow me." I said heading towards our common room. I said the password and the Johnson's looked at me oddly. We continued inside and Hermione and I sat down on the couch and everyone else made themselves comfortable either around the table or on the floor.

Hermione was so horrified after having her secret so brutally thrown in her face in front of everyone in the class that when anyone tried to talk to her she just pulled her knees closer to her chest and hid her face.

"So, is it true?" Pansy said as she sat down beside me.

"Yes, Pansy, it's true, now you can leave us alone, we don't need to deal with your crap today." I said.

"Draco, I know you think I'm just trying to be annoying and talk crap about you and your girlfriend, but I'm not. I don't need to be rude to you, I know that you two love each other. That's why I followed you guys out. I think what he did was wrong, I wouldn't have even done that." She said raising her eyebrows.

"Well, Pansy, now you know that she is pregnant and that I'm going to be with her. I'm sorry if it makes you mad but I don't love you, I love Hermione with everything I am." I told her.

"I know, I'm not interested in you anymore, I would like to be your friend though. I have my own guy, his name is Jason, he's really cute, he's pretty cool too, you'd probably get along with him." She said nodding her head a little.

"Really? Well, maybe I'll have to meet him sometime but right now isn't a good time. I just need to focus on Hermoine. Okay?" I asked.

"Can I talk to her for a second?" She asked.

"You can try I guess." I said looking at Hermione. She peaked out from behind her knees and looked at Pansy.

"I wanted to say Congratulations, and I'm sorry that Snape did that to you. I almost hexed him into oblivion for you, I couldn't imagine if someone had done that to me. You're really strong Hermione. I'm sorry for all the rude things I've said to you. I know that it didn't do me any good. It didn't really make me feel any better, it just made me forget my flaws for a few moments. So, Congratulations on the baby, and the soon to come wedding, and I wish you two all the happiness, and I hope I'm invited to the wedding." She said smiling at Hermione.

"Don't worry, Pansy, we'll let you know." Hermione said relaxing a little.

"Thanks, I'll let you two know whenever I get married as well, that is if I ever get married." She smiled and she got up and walked away.

"She's changed a lot." Hermione said looking up at me.

"I think the majority of her problem was that she wanted to get into my bed and I never let her, but she's got a guy now so, hopefully she won't be chasing me anymore." I said looking into her cinnamon eyes. I leaned down and kissed her. She put her arms around me and stopped hiding behind her knees.

Slowly everyone came up to us and congratulated us, we thanked them all and Hermione was all smiles the rest of the day. We went to the rest of our classes and when we got to Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall just smiled at us. She set a piece of parchment in front of us that said Congratulations to both of you, I hope you invite me to the wedding and I hope that you come visit with your baby. I'm sorry for what Professor Snape said to you earlier today, Professor Dumbledore has repremanded him for his actions, and I don't think he'll be doing it again. So, again congratulations. Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall.

Hermione just smiled at me and leaned into me as Professor McGonagall started the lesson. After all the classes were over we went to our common room and were sitting in the big room down the hall when we heard someone down stairs.

"Hey you love birds. Where are you?" Ginny yelled.

"Upstairs." I yelled back, they came bolting up the stairs and joined us.

"So I heard about what Snape said and I let him know what I thought." Ginny said as she entered.

"Alex, why weren't you in class this morning?" I asked looking at him, realizing that he hadn't been there for the big event.

"I slept through my alarm clock and I didn't feel like dealing with Snape today anyway. So, I stayed in bed. Sounds like it was a good thing too." He said smiling at me.

"Well, if you had been there, Snape might not be alive at this moment, so yeah it was probably a good thing." I said to my friend.

"So, how are you doin now Hermoine?" Ginny asked sitting next to Hermione.

"I'm fine, Snape was the only one who was rude about me being pregnant. Everyone else just congratulated me and said they were happy for us. Even McGonagall said she was happy for us." She added raising her eyebrows.

"Are you serious?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, it was kind of weird, but it was nice at the same time." Hermione replied. They continued to talk about what had happened that day and Alex and I talked about how much we wanted to kill Snape. I couldn't believe the things he said. We spent so much time just talking that we missed dinner, so we had a small dinner in our common room.

Finally, we finished eating and it was almsot curfew so Alex and Ginny took off for their common rooms and we sat down on the couch together. I held Hermione close to me and I told her repeatedly that I loved her. I felt like I couldn't say it enough.

"You know, I could listen to you say that forever." Hermione said after a while.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, I love it when you say you love me, and I love you as well Draco." She replied.

"I love you Hermione." I said kissing her. We sat there for so long that we hadn't realized that it was almost two in the morning, we finally went to bed and slept peacefully all night long. Neither of us woke up to a bad dream or anything, I was so exausted that I couldn't dream. My mind and my body were so worn out that I was surprised that I had made it through the day. I loved spending time with Hermione, perhaps that's why I had stayed awake all day. I didn't know anymore.

A/N: Okay, I know it's short but there's not much else to put in this chapter, I just wanted everyone to find out that she was pregnant and I wanted everyone to be telling them congrats, and I figured a fight with Snape would be good. lol. So I hope you like it. Please review or I just might quit writing, lol. Probably not but who knows? Like I said before, I get sad when I get a lot of hits and only a few reviews. Thanks for reading!
