Disclaimer: Don't Own Harry Potter blah blah blah.
Draco didn't understand. Himself and Hermione have been going out for months and not only did her grades stay at the top of the class but none of the teachers had noticed her visits down to the dungeons. Even though she headed out of the common room at around 11:15 p.m. and came back sometime before dawn. How couldn't anyone have noticed? Not that he was complaining because as long as no one knew either of the pair had to worry about consequences from their houses. But didn't she think it strange? "Oh well I guess I'm just worrying about nothing" he muttered to himself.
Draco, admist his thoughts had walked towards the bathroom he was staring into the mirror. He was ecstatic when he'd learned that the seventh years were to be given their own rooms considering what would have happened if his Slytherin friends had ever found Hermione in the main dorm. His hair was the type of silvery-gold blond that most boys wanted and girls dreamed about. His eyes were silver and complemented his hair right down to the gold flecks. Draco was lean, not fat; built in a way that made the boys round him seem like undeveloped children. It wasn't until this moment, as he looked at himself in the mirror that he noticed the small changes that had occurred lately without his noticing, not only a glint in his eye but he had a smile. It was a pity that the Slytherin girls never got to see Draco smile, they were already swooning at his scowl but the smile he had on his face right the would have made girls faint at his feet in 1.2 seconds. It was a pity couldn't stay like this. Happy I mean. Not only would Slytherins disown him but also the whole school would be so shocked that they would think that he had just pulled off a particularly nasty stunt and avoid him anyway. There was just no point.
As Draco stood in the shower about 2 minutes later he continued thinking about how it was that no one had figured him and Hermione out. Not only had they not had a corridor duel in two months but also the small insults in classes had stopped between them. The teaches though, were not as easily fooled. Dumbledore wasn't stupid if he hadn't figured it out then no one else had a chance in hell either . . .

Dumbledore was sitting at the teacher's table looking over his students with an amused smile and almost wished that he could share his joke with the other teachers so they could all be as clued in to there surroundings as he indeed was. But he couldn't he was sworn not to tell a single person about his mind reading gift. At least now that he had his gift under control, random thoughts were not just being thrown at him across the great hall and then back. Right now for instance, Dean Thomas from Gryffindor was thinking how nice Ron Weasleys bottom looked in jeans that morning. (The fact that most (not all) Gryffindor boys were gay was old news to this old man) As the Man's smile got larger his eyes moved up along the Gryffindor table they rested on Hermione Granger. It's was strange for Hermione to have a wall, come on! Was thinking about how Draco Malfoy was . Hang On.. Draco Malfoy, not this again. Dumbledore had learned that over the last summer holidays Hermione and Draco had not only become friends but were now seeing each other regularly. Anyway back to young Miss Granger what was thinking about Draco Malfoy was going to react when she admitted to him that's she was in a delicate condition. Oh my, Dumbledore thought to himself that was unexpected what on earth was to be done with this situation? He thought some more. They never ceased to amaze him his seventh years. No matter how many spells and enchantments were placed around the Hogwarts corridors nothing short of locking the portraits to the common rooms would stop interhouse visits. But now unbeknown to everyone accept the professors and a few friends Ginny Weasley Bianca Willis and Hermione Granger were all in the same unique situation. Harry and Peter as far as Dumbledore knew, knew that they were to become fathers but Mr Malfoy would be getting some shocking news shortly.
Strict rules had been enforced ever since the beginning of Hogwarts but as the seventh years were considered adults in the wizarding world they had enough freedom for accidents like this to happen. Access to a few luxuries such as an Olympic sized pool behind a portrait of a large pond. Not to mention several small rooms off the great hall to attend dates in. Sometimes Dumbledore worried about them having too much freedom but all parents were informed of the circumstances before seventh year started.
Though unfortunate and difficult for himself he knew that he must arrange a meeting between these students and himself, Separately at first and then together. These young ladies were going to need all the support they could get not to mention that arrangements would need to be made about caring for them appropriately.

Two weeks earlier (a/n* the end of last chapter)
*SURPRISE! Hermione screamed, all of Gryffindor new that it was Her Birthday and the combined effort of just getting them all in the same place at the same time with out her know-about would have been amazing. As alarming as that was the most of all was the common room itself and its content, the decorations, presents and oh god the outfits! All of Gryffindor in Pajamas and with there animals, Amazing. Hermione only expected her friends would want to celebrate and get her gifts but the pile was so huge and the party stuff so wide spread that they must have planned for weeks. "I have to get to class" she stammered at least 6 people rolled there eyes collectively. It was more of an unusual sight as ¾ s of Gryffindor said at the same time "Hermione it's a Sunday!" No wonder, she thought to herself, Harry had looked had looked at her so strangely last night when she had said that she wanted to shower, change and read then go to classes, oh well she mused "Lets get this party Started then!" Gryffindors spent the whole day inside celebrating and didn't even noticed that Hermione the birthday girl herself slipped out of the main common room at ten p.m. they just all kept talking until they slowly drifted off to bed one - by - one.

Back to the Present*
The sun flowed in to the great hall as the owls came to deliver the post. Unbeknown to most, select students received an invite to a dinner the next night; they were to go to the 4th floor spare room at 8:30p.m.

This could be interesting.couldn't it? Hermione wondered what it was about, she'd only learned of her condition yesterday; it couldn't be that.could it?
Dumbledore had added times through out the day that each person was to arrive for a meeting in his office. It was in these meetings that he would pair them up and talk with them about their situations.
Wednesday 8:20pm six Students all headed in the same direction and stood out side the door each very subdued as they had been informed of the Dinners purpose. To work out a future plan for three pregnant women and three Guys that didn't really know of particularly like each other.
Oh yes, This would certainly be Interesting.
