28th December Hermione POV

Packing my bags ready to leave back to Hogwarts's, I couldn't help but wonder if I was doing the right thing? I loved … love Draco and that wouldn't change of course it wouldn't … If I never love him again as a lover I would always love him for giving me the chance to be a Mother my hand ran down to rub my bump protectively … but a lot of things have happened and the stupid hormones never help, even when we tried to sit down and discuss our 'marriage' it would end up with me blubbering like an idiot in his arms.

Sighing I turned as the doorknob on the thick oak door is twisted and opened ajar to my raven haired friend.
"Are you already to go back Hermione?" Harry peeked around the door with his glasses nearly falling from his head.
"Yup" I answered popping the 'p'. Harry opened the door wider and took my small suitcase from my hand smiling at me as he put his lower hand on my back.

"I feel huge today it doesn't seem fair that I can't fit into anything 'normal'" I moaned walking down the stair case.
"We're going to miss your laughter filling the Manor Hermione" Lucius wrapped his arms around my shoulders instead of kissing my hand.
"I'm sure going to miss it here two but I finish my OWLS in two weeks and then I will be back, you will be begging me to return to school" Lucius cheekily winked at me as he pulled me away.

"Oh Hermione" Cissa practically strangled my neck with her arms.
"Cissa I will be back before you know it … and yes I will be sure to try and write once a day" Cissa pulled back, placing her hands on my cheeks.
"Atta girl" Cissa dropped her hands and moved under Lucius's outstretched arm.
"So …" Draco stood in front of me, his eyes pleading for answers I wasn't sure I even had.
"So I will owl you when I have a free time and if your Mother hasn't used up all my ink and parchments" I smirked slyly and kissed Draco on the cheek in goodbye. Harry helped me into my cloak and both Harry and Severus held me close in apparition back to school a stray tear left my eyes as a took a long last look at Draco.

29th December
"Pencils down" The Ministry official commanded looking bored as he sat at the edge of the desk, First day back at school, a Monday morning and sat painfully in our first two hour exam, I groaned quietly thankful I only had a couple of exams left to complete, with a flick of his wrist the written papers were all collected and neatly piled at the front of the hall.

"Leave" He rudely commanded, I slumped from the chair and begrudgingly made my way to Harry and Ron at the front of the room.
Ron opened the door and took my bag from my shoulders ranting on about how I shouldn't be carrying too much weight in one bag.

"I just left me bag in the hall" Harry face palmed his face as he turned around and ran for the room.
"If it isn't the little slut that got Astoria looked up in Azkaban" Sighing I turned around
"Greengrass … do one" Ron spat at her as he put his arm around my shoulder and gently pulled me away.

"No wonder Drakey wants nothing to do with you when your that huge, like a house you are, he had a good thing going with Toria and you had to but your bloody big nose in"
Turning around on my heel I stomped over to Daphne losing my last bit of patience as my finger prodded her in the chest.

"You have no idea what your bloody stupid sister has created, you know nothing of what Draco and I have got or what we have been through, so this is an official warning from the Malfoy's to the Greengrass's STAY THE FUCK AWAY!" I screeched as my breathing became slightly ragged.

"You can't do that … Cissa wouldn't allow it" Daphne crossed her arms across her chest and smirked
"Oh please, If I asked Cissa to jump she would ask how high, Cissa loves me as if I was her own daughter, shame who you got paired with … who was it again? A 121 year old decrepit man … oh yes we know everything" I smirked and turned on the spot to re-join Ron and Harry who had just come from the great hall.

"STUPEFY" Daphne screeched, I turned around at the last second for the spell to hit my stomach and send me flying backwards into the wall.

1st January.
"I remember setting my eyes on you as you walked down the aisle, you have never looked so beautiful as you have then, I was so proud to call you mine … I still I'm … Mother and Father dote on you … on the children when they come of course … The time in 5th year when you punched me in the nose … do you remember? It was then I realised I could love you … How could I love you when the Dark Lord was around our family like a fly around … well you know. I love you Hermione, always have and always will" A soft pair of lips reached my head ... My Draco's lips.

3rd January
"Hermione … I hope you can hear me … Severus has tried Legilimency on you ...Merlin I hope you don't mind but we wanted to see if we could try and communicate via brain waves. The healer has said your fine and the babies are still healthy and kicking … these Malfoy genes are pretty strong if you ask me … We have to practically drag Draco away to sleep and eat … Lucius takes him hunting every night to keep him strong but he's looking more like a vampire the muggles envision … he needs you Hermione, try and come back to us" Harry rubbed my hand and left.

5th January
"Miss Granger … I know you can subconsciously hear me … your Potion OWL test results flowed in this morning … You're not meant to find out until the end of the month what grade you have received but I find it only fair to report you passed with flying colours, I am not too surprised to find out your test score matches mine … well I will leave you be." Severus's chair scraped back as he left the room quietly.

7th January
"Hermione … I have got the hang of it … knitting by hand of course … I owled Andromeda to come teach me for when the babies arrive" Narcissa exclaimed excitedly … I silently smiled for my Mother in law.

10th January
"Lucius here again Hermione … We had to body bind Draco to bed this evening and force a sleeping draught down his neck … three solid days he has stayed by your bedside … not leaving … not eating … not hunting … It's driving his Mother and Aunt wild … Come back to us love" Lucius kissed my hand and left the room.

12th January.
"Sorry I'm late love, Father and I have just returned from hunting … don't worries we ventured away from the country … we always do once you expressed your concerns … We have decorated the nursery … I hope you don't mind but when we unpacked your Hogwarts case there was a drawing pad full of your ideas for the Nursery so we have chosen the yellow and green jungle theme for one for the nursery …. Mother thinks they might want to share a bassinet when they arrive … That would be kind of cute to see … I have moved your things back in our room … before you kick up a fuss we can make the bed bigger or conjure another one up … it's just that the nursery is next to our bedroom and ….

"Draco It's fine stop rambling" I whispered unable to move a muscle.
"Mother … Father" Draco grabbed my hand and began to rub small circles.
"Hermione … love if you can hear me … move or … anything … please love"
It took a few minutes but I managed to nudge my little finger … frustrated with myself for being so weak I mentally sighed.

"Well done love … your doing so well" Draco sniffled slightly
"Are you crying Mr Malfoy" I peeked an eye open to see Lucius and Cissa stood behind Draco's chair.
"Can you move?" Lucius asked
"No … everything is still a bit stiff … Draco can you lift me up please"
Draco nodded and helped me to sit up.

"How long have I been out?" I asked blinking my eyes a few times to adjust to the bright lightening
"14 days" I gasped slightly
"My Owls … I can't re sit them" a tear fell down my cheek, Draco smirked
"Were not Malfoy's for nothing my love … Father pulled a few strings and you are to re-sit the exams you have missed here at the manor on the 20th" I smiled appreciatively at Lucius.

"What happened to Miss Greengrass?" I asked as Draco brought a straw to my lips so I could sip my cappuccino.
"Miss Greengrass has been moved to Azkaban in a cell next to her sisters" I nodded slightly letting my muscles adjust to the foreign movements.

"I hope you don't mind … I kind of told them to stay away" Cissa waved it off
"Don't worry about dear … you saved Lucius a howler" Cissa patted Lucius's chest affectionately.
"And the babies … both are well?" I asked reaching for my bump
"Yes they are love, although you are to stay in bed or a wheelchair for the duration of your pregnancy, your Healer doesn't want to risk anything with what happened" I nodded and leaned forward to the straw for another sip.

"What happened when I was thrown into the wall?"
"I can answer that" Severus and Harry walked into the room and sat on my right hand side.
"I was on my rounds finding Harry to see how he coped with the exam, when I turned the corner Miss Greengrass had already casted the spell, I placed her in body bind and levitated her on her way to Dumbledore's office were we awaited the Auror's." Severus explained rubbing Harry's shoulders

"We were all so worried Hermione" Harry reached for my other hand and kissed it lightly.
"I'm sorry for giving everyone such a fright … it was rather weird and surreal. I was in a coma like state and as drifted in and out I could only hear slight conversations"
"What did you hear" Cissa pressed slightly

"Well … Draco your in trouble for not taking care of yourself" I smirked at him slightly
"But thank you for moving me into OUR room and sorting the nursery out, I heard my potion's results but Severus you knew I could achieve higher" I winked in his direction cheekily
"Cissa I knew you could knit by hand … it's all about practice" Cissa smiled and lifted a little pink and a little blue hat up I each hand.

"Wow you knitted them?" I asked as she nodded
"Cissa. Well done" I smiled contently.
"Would you like something to eat?" Draco asked as I nodded
Draco put an arm under my legs and one around my neck as he helped me into a wheelchair.
"How are we going to get downstairs?" My eyebrows knitted together
"Ah, we have transfigured one half of staircase into a slope"
I smiled and rubbed my fingers together as Draco wheeled me from the room.
