(A/N: Enjoy!)
Hermione was so very tired. She had been up most of the night
and then at 4:00 in the morning she gave birth to her children, all of
them 5 minutes apart. Draco hadn't let her see them yet, and she was
sure now that she wasn't carrying their children he wouldn't use the
imperius curse on her, he'd simply threaten to kill on of them if she
put a toe out of line. She heard her door being unlocked and Draco
came in. "Good morning." He chimed "Can I see our children yet?"
"No" "Draco, please, I carried them for 9 months, please?" Draco
considered it "Not yet, later. Right now, I want you to know you have
visitors." Hermione looked puzzled, "Harry Potter, and your father."
Hermione was stunned. "What I want you to tell me is how they got in,
did you find out about the wards, break the imperius curse and send
them an owl without my knowledge?" "Much simpler than that Draco
Darling." Hermione said, letting the venom in her voice be heard
"You said and I quote 'No one can enter the house unless they are a
Malfoy, a relative of a Malfoy, or with a Malfoy.' Sirius is my
father, therefore a relative of a Malfoy." Draco looked furious.
"Well, it makes everything a lot easier." Hermione looked at Draco
"Can I please see our children." "On no, I first want you to do
something for me..."

"So basically we don't have a plan." Harry said skeptically
"Basically, yeah, that's about right." Sirius added. A door opened and
they jumped, looked up to see "Hermione!" they shouted in unison.
"Harry! Are you crazy?" Hermione said in a furious whisper "What are
you doing here?" Harry was taken aback
"Hermione, I..." Harry began but was interrupted
"You shouldn't be here! Draco isn't Voldemort's SIC, I love him and we
have a family now, would you just leave me alone?!" Sirius looked at
Hermione, unbelieving and Harry shook his head
"Hermione, you can fight this." Something flickered across her face.
"I know you can fight this Hermione, you can do it, it's hard, I know.
But I have faith in you."
"Shut up." Hermione snapped, "I don't want to head your voice, you've
been stalking me, my whole life is ruined because of you! I hate you!"
"Concentrate Hermione, say your will in your head,"
"I've never loved you, I only said that I loved you because you're
famous!"
"Concentrate, I know you can do it!" "If you weren't famous, I
wouldn't have given you a second glance!"
"Come on Hermione"
"You're only treated well because you're famous, no one would like you
if it wasn't for that."
"Hermione, I love you, I have faith in you, Hermione come on."
"It's good your parents are dead, they don't have to see what a
failure you've become."
"Hermione... Please concentrate."
"I hate you, I hate you, I..." Hermione seemed to be searching for
words
"Harry" she gasped "Sorry"
"It's okay, are you okay? How are your children?"
"Draco won't let me see them" every word came with difficulty.
"It will be okay." Harry looked around
"How do we get out of here?" Hermione turned but then whirled right
back around
"You're doing to starve to death in this dungeon and I'm going to sit
here and watch because I hate you. I want to see you suffer like
you've made me suffer!"
"Hermione, you can do it! Come on!"
"You took away my childhood."
"Concentrate!" Hermione seemed to struggle again
"Key." She gasped and threw it over to him, but his hand couldn't
reach it.
"Hermione, I can't reach it."
"After you die, I'll tell the whole wizarding world the truth, how
you're nothing but a lowly coward."
"Hermione, I love you, I know you can do this! Concentrate!"
Again Hermione struggled and kicked the key to Harry. In a flash the
door was unlocked and Harry had a fighting Hermione in his strong
grip, although she fought, Harry kept her in the bear like hug, until
she became still.
"I knew you could do it." Harry whispered into Hermione's hair.
:Only because you had faith in me was it possible."
"I hate to interrupt this" Sirius said "But we've got wands to
recover, babies to find and a bad guy to defeat, we should get moving."
Harry let go of Hermione and headed for the door and Sirius turned to
her.
"Hermione, there is something I hate to tell you."
"Sirius, I already know, but now is not the time." He reached out and
placed a rough hand gently on her cheek. "You're so much like your
mother."
So many times Hermione had wanted to cry, many times she felt about to
cry, but this time the tears welled up in her eyes. "Lets go" Sirius
said and they all left, Hermione leading the way.
