Chapter Recap…..

When had everything changed so drastically for him? Draco could pinpoint the moment and it was the day his father had come to take him home. Draco lifted his arm above him and pulled his sleeve aside revealing the dark mark imprinted there in black. He clenched his fist and threw his arm down. He hadn't wanted this so why had he received it?

Draco spent most of an hour just sitting in his room staring at the ceiling. He had made so many mistakes with everyone around him, especially Hermione and after last night he could tell something was wrong with her, and if she wouldn't help herself he'd find a way to help with her.

Chapter 14: Revealing

Draco quickly got out of bed and grabbed a piece of parchment which he quickly wrote a note on. He addressed it to Madam Pomfrey where he stated that Hermione and himself were coming down with something and he wanted her to call them up for a checkup at her earliest convenience.

Draco quickly signed his name and then sealed it. He called for a house elf and one, a female with very small ears for a house elf and was wearing a torn pillow case, showed up.

"Take this to Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing immediately," Draco said. The house elf bowed and took the parchment. A large crack was heard as she Disapparated away. Draco took a deep breath and hoped that this would help Hermione.

As Draco was doing this, Hermione was in class. She was taking vigorous notes, trying to catch every word Professor McGonagall was saying. Hermione was not going to miss this important lesson. She took a moment to glance at Harry and Ron. Harry was taking notes here and there, but Ron was falling asleep. His eyes kept drooping and Hermione shook her head. She couldn't wait for Ron to try to borrow her notes, she would give him a tongue lashing he would never be able to forget.

As Professor McGonagall concluded her final thoughts, Hermione put the last notes on her parchment and then smiled. She knew she would do well on the final test before they had their NEWTs.

Everyone began packing up and Ron turned to Hermione with a grin.

"That was horrible. At least it's over." Hermione rolled her eyes and Harry laughed.

"You were barely awake for it. Have any good dreams?" Harry asked. Ron grinned and then motioned for Hermione and Harry to follow him down another corridor. They both followed and when the three of them were completely alone, Ron turned to the other two.

"Don't you think the three of us should try and get into that room that Draco has been going into? That cabinet must have some type of power or Draco wouldn't be trying to fix it. I haven't seen anyone in the Order recently plus that room is probably full of things I'm guessing. The Order wouldn't know what the cabinet looks like. Hermione does. Even if we can't destroy it, we could sabotage it enough that it doesn't get fixed before the school year ends. Then they can't use it and the Order would have time to properly destroy it," Ron said.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other in thought. Hermione didn't think it was a bad idea since they hadn't seen anyone in the Order at all since they had told Dumbledore about the cabinet a few weeks ago.

"I think that's a great idea Ron. At least we'd be getting rid of the problem before anything can come of it," Hermione replied. Harry nodded in agreement.

"That is a good idea. Only thing is we have to make sure that we don't end up getting caught by Malfoy." At this Harry turned to look at Hermione expectantly. She frowned in confusion.

"What?"

"Well is it ok if you do some snooping and find out when he's planning to go back so that we don't run into him there?" Hermione made a face. She wasn't really up for it but she remembered something.

"Harry we won't need to worry about that. Remember in 5th year when Professor Umbridge was trying to get into the Room of Requirement when we were in there and it wouldn't grant her access, the same thing will happen if Draco tries to come in while we are in there." Harry smiled and nodded. He had completely forgotten about that.

"See this is why we need you Hermione. We'd never be able to do anything if we didn't," Harry said. Hermione grinned.

Suddenly a large crack was heard and all three of them jumped. There stood a slightly ruffled Dobby. All three of them smiled down at him.

"Hello Dobby. What brings you here?" Harry asked.

"Dobby heard there was a letter for Harry Potter's best friend Miss Hermione and I fought two house elves for the chance to deliver it." All three of them glanced at each other and then Hermione reached for the note. Dobby gladly handed it to her and bowed, his ears flopping.

"Thank you Dobby." He bowed again and then Disapparated out of sight. Harry shook his head slightly and then looked over at Hermione as she read the note Dobby had delivered. Hermione's face was becoming more and more disgruntled as she read. Harry and Ron both noticed and glanced at each other briefly before talking to Hermione.

"So what is it?" Harry asked tentatively. She turned to him.

"Its a summons by Madam Pomfrey for a magical medical test. She said it's required by Head Boy and Girl to make sure they don't have a nervous breakdown because of all the work and responsibility," Hermione answered. Both Ron and Harry glanced at each other again as they made their way through the passageway.

"Well for you I feel that is unnecessary. Doesn't she know you?" Ron asked. Harry nodded in agreement. Since first year Hermione had been dealing with unnecessary responsibility and keeping up with all her work. Even in third year, she'd been taking more classes than needed and had to use a Time-Turner to go to all of them.

"Exactly this is ridiculous. I don't know how she would think you of all people would have a breakdown," Harry said.

"Whatever. Since it is mandatory, I'll have to go. It says I have to report there tonight after my last class." Both boys shrugged and then walked into the Great Hall and Hermione felt the fear that she'd been hiding from Harry and Ron come upon her. She didn't want to get checked out and have her illness be explained to her as something she didn't want to have. But maybe she needed this too.

Hermione tried not to think of it too hard because she didn't want it to distract her through the day. But as her final class ended and the students filed out, Hermione couldn't help but feel a shiver of fear run through her.

As she made her way to the hospital wing, she couldn't help but think about her biggest fear. What if it came to pass, what would she do?

Hermione shook that thought out of her head. No negative thoughts. Whatever would be, would be. She just hoped that it was something good that was to be.

Hermione went into hospital wing and saw Draco rolling down his sleeves. It looked like he'd already had his checkup.

He stared at Hermione as she went by him towards Madam Pomfrey who was at her desk getting some potions into bottles. She looked up as Hermione approached.

"Oh . Good that you're here, Mr. Malfoy just finished his check up. I would like to do you and get back to my work."

"I'll wait for Hermione," Draco said. Hermione didn't even acknowledge him, she just batted an eyelash. Draco didn't see it because she was facing Madam Pomfrey who had picked up her wand and was pouring some potion for Hermione.

"Well come to this bed Miss. Granger and I'll be able to check you over." Hermione did what she was told and pulled the curtain in front of her bed so that Draco couldn't see what was happening. First Madam Pomfrey rolled up Hermione's sleeves and placed the tip of her wand at the crevice of her elbows. A small puff of white smoke came from each crevice and Madam Pomfrey nodded.

Then she moved her wand all the way across Hermione, her brow furrowing at one point when she reached Hermione's abdomen. Madam Pomfrey said nothing. She just finished her exam and then she left with the potion she'd originally had for Hermione, and came back with a clear one which she handed Hermione. Then she closed the curtain around them completely and set a silence spell, so Draco couldn't overhear the conversation.

"Miss. Granger have you been having any stomach issues recently?" Madam Pomfrey asked. Hermione wondered if she could lie, but she knew Madam Pomfrey would know.

"Yes. Only today it was better and I was able to hold down my food. But its been because I've just gotten over the flu." Madam Pomfrey pursed her lips.

"Miss. Granger I have to let you know that you are not sick. You are actually pregnant, that's why I got you a different potion. You're most likely 2 months along." Madam Pomfrey waited as the news of this sunk in. Hermione couldn't believe this. She started thinking back. She hadn't had sex in a long time and everytime she had, she'd used her birth control. But then her mind began to remember that night when she had run out and hadn't replenished her bottle. She frowned as she remembered that she and Draco had had sex that night. She remembered telling Ginny about it. Hermione took a deep breath to calm her nerves and looked at Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey looked down at the young girl in front of her, who now had a large responsibility in front of her. She felt tremendous feeling of sympathy for her.

"Miss Granger does the father have any idea of your condition?" Hermione shook her head.

"No, I'm not even really on speaking terms with the father. I mean, I don't think he's a good influence in my life. Anyway thank you Madam Pomfrey." Hermione put her bottle down, picked up her bag and then got up. Madam Pomfrey didn't get a chance to stop her as she opened the curtains and walked quickly past Draco not saying one thing to him.

He quickly caught up to her and walked at pace with her. He could see that her eyes were glassy like she was very deep in thought and wasn't seeing anything.

"Hermione?" He called. She looked at him and she actually focused on him and then stared at him for a long moment before she said anything.

"What?"

"We have rounds tonight. Are you up to it?" He asked. She swallowed and then nodded.

They quickly walked to their dorm and then Hermione ran into her room, dropping her stuff quickly before she went back out the dorm. Draco didn't even get a chance to catch to her, because by the time he got out the door after changing, Hermione was already gone.

Hermione was not really doing rounds. She was so lost in her thoughts she couldn't really pay attention to anything. She was beating up herself inside. How could she have let this happen? She was so stupid. She could feel the seriousness of the moment really surround her.

She leaned against the wall and crouched down, burying her head in her hands. What was she going to do? What was she going to tell her parents?

Hermione started hyperventilating as she crouched there. Hot tears began to fall down her face as she kept thinking. It was all too much for her to think about.

"Miss Granger are you alright?" A deep voice asked her. Hermione looked up to see Professor Snape standing above her, a look of concern on his face. Hermione sniffed and stood up, trying to compose herself.

"Fine," she said. Snape didn't believe her. He stood in front of her, looking at her puffy red eyes and her troubled expression and he knew she wasn't fine.

"I'm taking you to the hospital wing." At that Hermione moved away from him. Almost like a scared cat. Snape had never seen her like this before.

"No. I'm not going back to the hospital wing," Hermione said. Snape caught her arm, but she physically began fighting him, pulling and twisting away.

"Let me go, right this instant. I swear I'll…."but Hermione couldn't say more as tears began to fall down her face again. Snape didn't understand why she was so upset, so he pulled her to him and began to drag her down the hall.

"Fine, I'll take you to my office. I need to know that you are alright before I let you go around the halls on rounds," Snape said. At this Hermione stopped struggling and actually walked with him to his office where Snape locked and put a silence spell on his door so they would not be overheard.

He sat Hermione down in front of his desk and then leaned against it, standing in front of her. He stared at her as she Hermione silently sat there.

"Now this is your opportunity to explain that behavior back there before I have to give you detention." Hermione shrugged.

"Put me in detention. My life is over anyway. What will detention do now?" Snape looked at her in confusion. This was not like the Hermione Granger he knew.

"Miss Granger what is the meaning of that? What has happened for you to have this attitude? Does it have to do with Draco? Has he hit you again?" Hermione didn't even react to that. Snape got slightly afraid at the reaction she was having to his questions. He bent down and grabbed Hermione's shoulders and shook her slightly.

"Hermione you must tell me," he said. She looked up at him when he said her first name. A fresh batch of tears started.

"I'm pregnant with Draco's baby," she whispered. At that Hermione broke down and Snape pulled her to him and held her. Hermione didn't know what to do but hug him and cry. Hermione sobbed as Snape stroked her hair. He knew how this was torturing her, especially with Draco's actions toward her before. He had abused her and now she had this large burden added on top of it.

Hermione pulled back and wiped her face.

"I'm really sorry for all of this. I don't need to be bringing my issues to you. I'm just… in shock, that's all."

"It's fine. It's all going to be alright. You need to talk to someone-" Hermione cut him off and stood up and moved away from him.

"No. No one can know. You can't tell anyone. I need to figure out what I'm going to do. I only found out about this, today," Hermione said. She turned away from Snape and wrapped her arms around herself. Snape sighed and walked up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I'm sorry. I won't let anyone know if you wish it. Just promise me that if you need anything, you will come to me if I can help." Hermione was silent but she nodded. Snape let go and turned around. She wiped her face and smiled a little.

"Thanks," she whispered. She leaned up and kissed his cheek. She caught a whiff of his musky scent and took a deep breath of it. She pulled back slightly to see Snape staring at her. His eyes were bright as he looked down at her. Hermione was pressed up against him as they stared into eachother's eyes.

Snape leaned down slightly and caught Hermione's lips with his. He kissed her for a moment and then realized he shouldn't be. He moved to pull away, but Hermione caught his head, holding his face and pulled his lips harder against hers. She wanted to feel his hands on her, and just block out what happened and just stay in this moment for once.

Snape held her tightly to him, pulling his arms around her waist and lifting her off her feet. Kissing her was like heaven, her lips were soft and supple and when she opened her mouth, Snape delved his tongue in, tasting the sweetness of mouth and feeling her tongue play with his.

Snape pulled back slightly so he could take a breath.

"Severus…" Hermione whispered softly. Snape shivered at the sound of his name as he looked down at her and saw her breathing just as hard as he was. He put her down slowly, her legs a little shaky after the kiss. Then he removed his arms from around her waist. Hermione let go of Snape, but still stood close to him.

"I should go do my rounds." Snape nodded as he looked at her.

"Yes of course," Snape answered. Hermione could see that he was struggling with himself as he turned away, with clenched fists. Hermione knew that she still had feelings for Snape and even though she was vulnerable right now, she knew she'd need him. She hadn't want to try with Snape before, but she had nothing to lose now.

"Severus." He turned and Hermione hugged him. He wrapped her in his arms and pressed his face into her curls, that strawberry vanilla scent filling his nostrils. She was the only woman who he was so weak towards. He didn't have the strength to fight her.

Hermione moved back and went on her tiptoes and kissed Snape sweetly, then leaned into his ear.

"Thank you. We'll talk again soon." And with that she turned and waved her wand at the door which unlocked and closed behind her as she left.

Hermione didn't know what she was going to do, but she knew that she had one person who she could go to. And after that body shaking kiss, who knew where this would take her. Hermione smiled to herself and then went back to her rounds.
