Early N.E.W.T.s
Hermione sat nervously at breakfast two weeks later, rushing through all her notes she had ever taken. In a few minutes she would be taking the first of her N.E.W.T.s, and she wanted so very desperately to perform well. Draco sat beside her, occasionally feeding her but mostly quizzing her on the notes she took as well as the review sheets handed out to her by her teachers. Today would be Arithmancy, Muggle Studies, and History of Magic. Tomorrow, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Transfiguration. Normally the tests would be over a course of 6 days, but upon Hermione's request, she would take them over the next two days so not to fall completely behind in her classes.
After her parents and the Weasleys left, Hermione got straight down to business studying. On Tuesdays and Thursdays after Potions, she would go up to Madame Pomfrey and receive a vitamin shot and her blood pressure measured. Draco would accompany her to hold her hand while the nurse administered the vitamins. She never much liked that part of her day. She and Draco began discussing baby names, and Hermione even went into Hogsmeade to purchase a wedding plans guide. She felt herself relaxing more and more as the days went on.
Unfortunately for that morning, Hermione's stomach was doing roll overs as she hurriedly studied the last of her information with Draco and could barely eat.
"You're going to do just fine Hermione," Draco said in his attempts to comfort her.
"I have to make an Outstanding on all my tests if the Headmaster is even going to consider letting me work here as a teacher."
The news surprised Draco a bit. "You're thinking of becoming a teacher here?"
"I think so. I don't know what else I would want to do that would allow me to take care of our baby and earn money."
"What about the Ministry of Magic? Were you thinking of maybe working there?"
"The thought had crossed my mind. But what would I do? There are so many departments."
"Well, there's the-"
"Ms. Granger, Professor Snape and I are to accompany you to the testing center today," interrupted Professor McGonagall. They were to take her down the Department of Testing in Hogsmeade, where Professor Dumbledore had made special arrangements for her to take the tests.
Hermione gave Draco a quick kiss goodbye and followed the professors out of the room. They led her to the front of the castle where Hagrid had a carriage waiting for her. She silently climbed in and sat between the two professors as they silently rode into town. The trip only took about 20 minutes, and Hermione was met at the front gates by a man and a woman.
"Hello Ms. Granger. My name is Mrs. Fabian and this is Mr. Gellar. We will be proctoring your tests for the next two days. I assume you have the contract we have sent you?"
In order for Hermione to be allowed to take the N.E.W.T.s early, she had to sign a written agreement stating that she would not reveal information about the test or risk having her test scores destroyed and declared null and void. She handed over the piece of paper.
"Follow us then." Mrs. Fabian turned to the professors. "I assume some one will be here for her when she returns from testing?"
"Yes, Mrs. Fabian," Professor McGonagall stated.
"Very well then. Ms. Granger?" Hermione looked behind her quickly as she was led down musty smelling hallways until she was set in a small classroom. "Ms. Granger, you will first be administered the History of Magic examination. Are you ready?
"Yes ma'am," Hermione replied almost bravely. "Here is your quill. An anti- cheating charm has been placed upon it. If the quill suspects of any kind of unacceptable behavior or short cuts, it will disintegrate and your test paper will be taken up." She handed Hermione the quill and the written examination of the test. Hermione took a deep breath in and read the first question with a smile on her face. * * * *
Draco nervously paced his common room as he waited for Hermione to return. She had been gone for 6 hours and she was due back at any moment.
"Stop moving man, you're making me nervous!" Harry complained. He, along with Ron and Neville, sat with Draco, all with flowers and balloons in their hands (and a plateful of brownies) to congratulate her for completing the first day of exams.
"I can't help it, Potter!" Draco snapped. "Sorry, mate, I'm just a bit on edge."
"I don't blame you. Have you picked out a baby name yet?"
"Well, we were thinking of-"
At that moment Hermione popped her head in the doorway, looking accomplished but nonetheless tired.
"I'm back!" She saw all the wonderful gifts that the boys had brought up. "Oh! Are these for me?"
"A congratulations for finishing your exams today," Ron chipped. "You deserve them after all you've gone through." Hermione had walked over to the plate of brownies and began indulging in their rich fudge.
With her mouth full, she barely muttered out. "Thank you all so much! This means so much to me." For a second, no one spoke, before Neville burst out laughing, followed by everyone else. The sight of Hermione stuffing her face and trying to talk was almost too much for them to bear.
With her stomach full and her spirits lighter after a pleasant late afternoon of laughing and talking, Hermione sat at her desk reviewing her Potions notes. Her eyes suddenly went dark as the scent of a familiar young man came up behind her.
"Take a break honey. You need it." She jumped as Draco closed her notebook.
"What did you have in mind, Mr. Malfoy?"
"A swim perhaps? Something to relax your muscles."
"I'm game, just let me put on my suit." Hermione bustled over to her drawers and looked for a suit that would still fit her. She still wasn't very large, but her tummy was beginning to protrude slightly. She opted for a two piece apron set that she had ordered from Veronica's Secret.
When Hermione entered the bathroom, the atmosphere was almost perfect. Soft, low music played in the background, the tub was steaming and bubbles were floating. A slight hint of vanilla wafted through the air as Draco came up from behind her and scooped her into his arms.
"Oh Draco you goon!"
"You don't like it?" He played, giving her a sad face.
"It's perfect. Thank you so much for being so supportive these past couple of weeks."
"Anything for you, my love." He walked into the tub with Hermione still in his arms. The warm bath water was intoxicating, and she reached over and kissed her fiancé on his lips. The warm tender kiss soon turned into something more passionate. Draco could feel the inner stirrings of his erection growing already.
Hermione broke their kiss and began to nibble on his ear. The simple act was enough to make Draco lose it right then and there. He reached behind her back and slowly began to untie the apron strings that held the bathing suit top together. Hermione went back to Draco's lips as he let the top fall off of her. She wrapped her legs around him and he lifted her onto his waist as he took one of her swelling breasts into his hand and began to play with her nipples.
"Hmmmmmm," Hermione moaned in pleasure. She ran her hands through Draco's hair as she let him suck and tease on her. She tilted his chin and kissed him deeply, passionately. She unwrapped her legs from Draco as he slipped his fingers down her waist to the edge of her bathing suit bottoms. She enjoyed the anticipation and moaned again.
Draco lifted Hermione onto the tile floor and finished taking off her suit. She was sitting naked before him, and he thought she was the most beautiful site he had ever seen. Instead of allowing his tongue to play with the inner most parts of her, he hopped out of the water and scooped her up into his arms.
"Draco?"
He stopped her by kissing her, and he carried them into his room. His bed was unkempt as he lied her down onto the soft jersey sheets that cover his sleeping area. He saved Hermione the trouble and slipped his bathing suit off, until they were both naked. He kissed Hermione continually as his hands explored her body, teasing her nipples and occasionally brushing up against the juncture of her thighs. He rolled on top of her and carefully penetrated her vagina, where they soon began to develop a steady rhythm. Draco was very careful not to put his full weight on top of Hermione's belly as they rode each other. Neither one of them said anything, but yet rather enjoyed the moment of being one. They looked deeply into each other's eyes as they both felt the beginnings of their orgasms growing with in. Draco continued his pace, steady and strong, and soon they were both enveloped in wave after wave of pleasure.
Hermione lied in Draco's arms later that evening. After their quick but pleasurable tryst, Hermione hit the books yet again for another few hours of studying. She was beat, and needed to sleep. Tomorrow was the last day of testing. And she was going to kick ass.
