Ch. 18 She Is Loved
In the weeks following her accident, Hermione had to work feverishly to catch up on her work. Except for Harry, Ron, and Draco, no one knew of her pregnancy. She wasn't showing, nor was she suffering from any first trimester symptoms- yet. The Gryffindor quidditch team beat Ravenclaw, meaning they only had Hufflepuff to worry about, and they would be the champions.
Teachers began to load the students with more and more work to help them prepare for the N.E.W.T.s. Hermione made out study schedules for all of them to follow to ensure they could get the most studying done before their tests.
After a long weekend of working and studying, Hermione was beat. She and Draco had not spent much time together, although he looked out for her with caring and tenderness whenever he could. The teachers were still unaware of her condition, which was fine with Hermione. She didn't want any more attention than she already had from her and Draco's relationship and her accident. She simply wanted to finish the year.
On Monday morning, Hermione awoke in Draco's arms. She hadn't remembered them falling asleep together. He was still asleep when she tickled his tummy lightly and his eyes flickered.
"Good morning baby," she cooed.
"Good morning yourself." He smiled.
"Did we fall asleep like this?"
"No, I came in and found you asleep on your desk. I carried you over to the bed and fell asleep next to you. Sweetie you are putting too much pressure on yourself to study. You need to relax; it's not good for the baby or for you."
"I know honey. I just really want the tops scores so that I get more job offers. I still haven't totally decided what I want to do with my life; maybe teach here at Hogwarts?"
Draco kissed the top of her forehead. "I love you Hermione. You will do fine on your tests, and you will be offered the greatest job in the world, and you will have a happy life, and all of your dreams are going to come true. Just promise me you slow down? I don't want anything bad to happen to you again." A tear rolled down Draco's cheek. The memory of her cold and blue body in his arms was heartbreaking to him; he almost lost his best friend, the mother of his baby, his girlfriend.
"Oh sweetie, don't cry!" Hermione leaned up and gave Draco a kiss on his forehead. "I'm going to be just fine. I have you, Harry and Ron to take care of me. The baby is going to be born happy and healthy, and nothing bad is going to happen to me. I promise."
He kissed her softly on the lips and held her in his arms for a brief moment before she started to get up.
"I don't know about you, but I'm starving. Let's go down early so we can get the best pieces of sausage and bacon!" Hermione's mouth watered.
Draco laughed. "I'm going to make sure you stuff every piece of toast and fruit down your mouth. You're eating for two now honey!"
They changed into their school uniforms and walked to the Great Hall. Harry and Ron were already there, and Draco and Hermione sat down with them.
"Morning Ron, Harry," Hermione said as she grabbed a pancake.
"Morning Hermione," they replied in unison.
Draco nodded to each of them, acknowledging their presence and reached for the pumpkin juice.
Hermione's stomach grumbled as she reached for 3 waffles, 2 chocolate chip pancakes, a banana, fruit salad, pumpkin juice, and a roll of sausage, 6 strips of bacon and a bowl of cereal.
She looked over at Ron and Harry, whose mouths dropped.
"Damn girl! You could feed an army with all of that!" Ron chuckled teasingly.
"Eating for two!" Hermione replied with a pancake in her mouth.
Soon the Great Room started to fill in, and they reverted to talking about going to Hogsmeade that weekend. No one had noticed the great big pile of food on Hermione's plate, much to her relief. She was still hungry after her smorgasbord, so she finished off four blue berry muffins, another fruit salad, whole wheat oatmeal and ten pumpkin pasties before she was fully satiated.
"Hermione, at the rate you're going, you'll be a balloon by next week." Harry noted.
Hermione froze- he was right. She would be starting to show soon, and it'd be harder to hide her pregnancy. Draco noticed the look of fear over her face.
"Don't worry babe. These robes are so baggy and unforgiving no one's going to notice if you gained a little weight."
Hermione shrugged as she grabbed her school bag. Immediately Ron, Harry and Draco jumped up to take her heavy satchel.
"Guys, it's okay, I can carry it, and it's only got Arithmancy in it." Hermione wouldn't admit it, but she liked having the guys fuss over her like this.
They walked out together and walked to Transfiguration. Today they would be changing bees into towels- especially hard since the bees would be flying around. Hermione sat next to Harry and whispered until Professor McGonagall walked in.
"Students, as you know, we will be transforming bees into towels. Now, if you did your homework this weekend, you will note that this is a two part spell. In order for one to transfigure a moving object into a still one, you will have to freeze it. But you must be accurate with casting your spell- a missed beam of the "Inmobilus" charm can backfire and freeze you. Now, after you have stilled your insect, you make a circle around the bee and recite "Liquidus Absorberante". Now, get with your partner and get to work. You have until the end of the class to show me your incantations."
Harry and Hermione immediately began to work. "Did you do your homework, Harry?"
"Yes Hermione, I did."
"Okay then, do the spell." She dared.
"Watch this". Harry focused in on his flying bee.
"Inmobilus!" Harry shouted, and instantly the bee froze. He circled the bee with his wand, said the charm, and the bee transformed into a pillow.
"Not quite Harry. Watch." She cleared her throat. "Inmobilus" she cried and the bee stopped. She took a deep breath in but before she could spill out the charm, Hermione felt her stomach rumble. She suddenly felt very queasy. With out waiting for Professor McGonagall's permission, Hermione ran out of the Transfiguration hall and ran for the nearest girl's lavatory. Draco watched Hermione run out of the room with her hand over her mouth. He looked at Harry from the table over.
"What happened?" He mouthed.
"I don't know!" Harry mouthed back.
Professor McGonagall stared at Draco for a moment and motioned for him to follow her. He left the room as the professor was telling the class to get back to work.
He found Hermione doubled over Moaning Myrtle's favorite toilet looking very pale and green.
"Hermione, honey, are you okay?"
"Just a bit of morning sickness. I was wondering when this was going to come about. I just hope it's not every day during Transfiguration." Hermione's stomach gave way one last time before she was able to stand with out feeling dizzy. She watched her mouth out with some water, splashed her face, and walked with Draco back to Professor McGonagall's.
She walked back in well aware that everyone was staring at her. She went back to her seat. Harry looked at her before realizing what had happened. His face asked if she was okay, and she gave him a nod before picking up her wand and restarting the charm.
At the end of the class Hermione walked up to Professor McGonagall's desk and performed the transfiguration spell. The charm went perfectly and Hermione received an outstanding.
"Ms. Granger, are you feeling okay?" Professor McGonagall asked before Hermione left.
"Yes, Professor. I just had a big breakfast and I ate too quickly." She gave Hermione a look of approval and Hermione left the room to an awaiting Draco.
"How'd you do?" he asked.
"I received an outstanding." Hermione beamed as Draco hugged her. They walked together to their Potions class, where Hermione prayed that she didn't have another episode of morning sickness.
The students sat in their seats and waited for Professor Snape to begin his usual banter of how poorly they did on their essays and give them an incredibly difficult potion for them to mix by the end of the period.
"Today class, we will be creating a Plantar Wart remedy. It is an extremely complex potion, and hopefully it will make up for your poorly written essays which I had the displeasure of grading all weekend. You have 1 hour to finish and you will leave a sample on my desk to be graded as two tests."
The class moaned as they began their usual torture.
* * * *
Hermione sat hunched over on her desk as she labored over her "Muggle Studies" report due early that next morning. She looked at her watch- it read 9:30, and Draco was still at Quidditch practice. She sighed as she closed her book and closed her eyes.
"Draco told me to relax," she murmured as she rubbed her stomach. "So I'll do just that." She left a note for Draco and went down to the Gryffindor, where she met with Harry and Ron.
"Hermione, what are you doing down here?" Ron asked.
"I needed a break from studying, and I wanted to see you guys. I just need a few moments to relax, and who else could do that than my best friends?" She sat in her usual chair and the three of them told jokes and laughed until their sides ached and their eyes teared.
Hermione left the room around 11:30, fully relaxed and ready to finish her essay, which she still had 3 more rolls of parchment to write. She entered her room and Draco was on her bed.
"Hey sweetie."
"Where did you go?" Draco questioned.
"Didn't you get my note? I was with Harry and Ron. You told me I need to relax so I went downstairs and we shared stories and laughed by the fire."
"You did what I asked?" He looked shocked.
"Yep, and now I feel like finishing my essay."
"I finished it for you," Draco said with a devious smile.
"Wha."
"I bewitched the quill to be in your handwriting, and I told it what to write. I knew where you were going with the subject, so I finished it for you. If I don't say so myself I think it's a very masterful piece of literature."
"Oh Draco!" Hermione ran over to Draco and straddled him, giving him a very deep and passionate kiss. "Thank you so much sweetheart, oh honey I don't know how to thank you."
"I do."
Hermione looked at him quizzically. He had a funny look on his face as he began unbuttoning her blouse.
"You know, we're still allowed to have sex until the third trimester," he murmured as he slipped her shirt off of her shoulders and laid it on the floor.
"Well then, what are you waiting for," Hermione asked as Draco gently laid the straps of her bra on the sides of her arm. He leaned up and kissed her shoulder blades, making his way down the middle of her breasts. He reached behind her and unclasped the hook of her bra. His thumbs rolled around her nipples as she kissed him, their tongues exploring one another's mouths.
Hermione reached under Draco's shirt and lifted it off above his head. She kissed him down the middle of his torso until she reached his trousers. She unsnapped the button and slowly wiggled them off of his body. Draco was left with nothing but his boxers. Hermione used her finger and traced the edge of the elastic as she teasingly slipped them off of Draco, now fully naked.
She reached around the top of his erection and slowly began to take in his growth. He leaned back and moaned as her mouth wrapped itself around his penis. It didn't take very long for Draco to start to feel the burnings of an orgasm, and he wanted to wait.
"Wait," he whispered. He turned Hermione over on her back and with the same care and caress as she, he took off her jeans and panties. She spread her legs and let Draco's tongue flick across the middle of her thighs. Never letting his mouth totally take her, he teased her as he gently sucked on her. He knew she was getting close, and lifted himself on top of her.
He entered Hermione with more ease and tenderness as before, now knowing that there was a child that needed to be protected from his weight. They kissed one another tenderly as they worked up a rhythm together.
The moon shown brightly in Hermione's room as both reached simultaneous orgasms, collapsing in each other's arms. They held each other quietly as Hermione fell asleep nude. Draco looked down at his beautiful girlfriend and thought to himself, "She is loved."
