~Chapter One~
*Hermione's POV*
I was just 16 years old it couldn't be true. I couldn't be pregant! Not with that monsters child. But it wasn't her baby's fault so I decided to keep it. That's when my world came crashing down my parent's had disowned me! They said horrible things to me, told me I wasn't nothing but a disgrace to their family. Keeping a baby I had forced on me and I was keeping it! My parents hated me now and everyone else would to. The taxi I had been in came to a hault. "Here we are miss" The driver said politely. I brushed away my tears. "Thank you very much sir "I said handing him the money and a nice tip. He smiled at me. I hurried to platform 3 and 9/3.When I crossed everyone there turned to look at me. I noticed everyone had a look of pity and sorrow even some Slytherin's. "Hey Hermione " I heard a soft voice say. I turned to see Lavender Brown, Dean Thomas and Neville Longbottom. I smiled at them "Hi" I said quietly. Lavender busted into tears and hugged me tightly "Oh Hermione I'm so sorry this happened to you! How are you? Your keeping the baby right? How is it? My mom gave me some stuff to help you says you can owl her anytime you need to, she would love to help you out. And your welcome to stay with us at anytime. "Lavender said all in one breathe. I cried in happiness "I thought you guys would hate me" They all got looks of astonishment. "That's crazy! Don't think that Hermione" Neville said. They all three hugged her one by one and then they had a group hug. "If you need anything let us no" Dean said. I smiled brightly. "You guys are the best" They smiled and walked away. I stood there for a minute before a crash turned my attention to the barrier. The Weasley clan, Harry, Sirius and Professor Lupin had all just came through the barrier. I cautiously walked over to them. Ginny spotted me first and nearly killed Harry and George running over to me. She hugged me tightly. I could feel the young girls tears on me. "I missed you so much Herm "I had become like a sister to the youngest Weasly and only girl besides Mrs.Weasley. Soon everyone had exchanged hugs and giving me their blessings. Mrs.Weasley said she would be more then happy to help me and the baby out when the time came. I smiled at everyone. "I love you guys "I said simply before heading to get on the train. I never noticed the pair of Blue-Grey eyes watching me. I never saw the look of remorse, regret or the guiltiness the eyes held. Though I wish I had.
*Draco's POV*
I had watched her from the minute she had came through the barrier and everyone had silenced to look at her.I had to keep myself
from yelling at everyone to mind there own business.
"You could just apologize instead of staring at her "I turned to see my mother, Pansy, Blaise, Marus, Crab and Goyle all looking at me. "I'm sure she could use someone right now Draco " Mother added. "She doesn't no it was Uncle who did it to her and I'm not going to very well be the one who points it out, she hates me enough to last a lifetime. "I said walking away. Blasie stopped me" Your not your father man, you are capable of loving someone and of someone loving you. You no you couldn't have stopped him from doing it even if you wanted to. So stop feeling guilty about that and talk to her for God's sake. Its already been made appoint that a lot of us were under the Imprerio by are fathers I bet she could forgive you. "I paused but then continued without looking back. "He's right Draco! Talk to her!" Pansy called after me. I knew that Blasie and Pansy had sent her owl's apologizing a million times and she had forgiven them and they were on a road to great friendships. I signed and bumped into someone sending them into a nearby open compartment. I quickly reached out to grab the person. I knew she was female and I pulled her up right. "I'm so sorry are you ok" The girl turned to reveal Hermione Granger. She looked at me and backed away quickly tripping in the process. I reached out and caught her. She looked frightened. "Relax Granger I'm not going to hurt you especially since your pregnant. "I said softly. She looked into my eyes
and saw that I was serious. She relaxed and actually smiled at me" How are you Malfoy?" She asked obviously trying to be nice. I took a seat and motioned for her to do the same she did and looked at me. "I'm doing ok, My mom's going to be teaching this year so I'm glad she's going to be closer to me and safe. "Hermione smiled. "That's good, I'm glad your mom is ok. "I looked at her shocked. "She would love to meet you ya no" I said. She nodded "Ok" We sat in silence. "Ok I can't take this what is your problem?" I questioned. "What?" I jumped up" Why are just forgiving me and talking to me? Asking me how AM doing when YOUR the one who was raped! "She winced at this and tears filled her eyes." I'm sorry I was just being friendly" She said softly sniffling. "Well Don't be I DONT DESERVE IT!"I yelled. "Why not?" She asked. I grew angry I grabbed her roughly and pulled her up" Because! you want to no! FINE!! I'll tell you! It was MY uncle who raped you! And I knew! Ok I knew and I didn't even TRY to help you! So STOP being so damn friendly! Yell at me! Slap me do something! "Tears were spilling out of her eyes now as I pushed her down in the seat and exited the room. I found that practically everyone had heard my confession. Some looked confused, others looked like they were going to kill me and some girls were even crying. Blasie, Crab, Goyle, Marucs and Pansy all looked at me in shock. Mother was there to. As was Professor Snape and Tawny and Sirius and Lupin.I could see several people holding Weasley back. "Let him go" I said. Potter was one of the ones holding Weasley back "What he asked letting him go. "Let him go! What are you deaf?" They all exchanged questioning glances but let Ron go. "WAIT!" Everyone turned to Goyle. "Stop it" I hissed at him. Though everyone had heard. "What the hell is your problem Draco? Tell them the truth!" He said. Potter stepped forward "What is it the truth" He asked I turned to him "YOU JUST HEARD THE FUCKING TRUTH!"I yelled. "He's lying! That's not the truth! He tried to help Hermione but he was put in the dungeon's so he couldn't! Now he just feels guilty" Pansy said I turned to her and glared the most hateful look I could. "Your pay for that Pansy" I said threatening. She shrink back a bit. "Is that the truth?" Weasley asked. I looked at everyone's faces and let my guard down for the first time in front of everyone. "Fine its true! Are you happy now?" I asked. "You should tell Hermione "Weasley said I glared at him "I would like to think she's safer not being near me" I said. "Well she might be safer but she sure as hell wont be happier" Potter said." And if you feel so guilty you could at least talk to her and help her out" He added. I glared at him before trying to find a empty compartment.
Hermione's POV
I sat crying listening to what was going on in the hall. When Pansy had confessed the truth I was suddenly very confused and then him saying I was safer without him. If only he knew how un-true that was at the moment. The compartment door opened and a beautiful woman came in. She smiled warmly at me "I'm Nacraissa Malfoy its a pleasure to meet you Hermione "I smiled hesitatingly. "Nice to meet you "I replied softly. She sat down a crossed from me. "You'll have to excuse Draco he just doesn't really no what to do right now and perhaps he thought he was making a choice for the both of you that was for the best. "I looked at her questingly "Do you think its for the best? "I asked. She smiled. "Not at all he'll come around sooner or later don't give up on my dear" She said before standing. "We'll be arriving soon "She added before leaving.
During the sorting ceremony I had a great time but soon it was time to head up to the common rooms. I noticed Draco heading to the forbidden floor and I decided to follow him. I needed to talk to him without making a scene. So I hurried after him.
Draco's POV
I knew she was following me. I could since it. It was kind of weird in a way. When I figured we were far enough away to talk without anyone finding us. I spoke. "Stalking is a illegal you know" I heard her gasp slightly. I turned around and looked at her" Did you want something?" If I kept my guard up I would be ok. She bit down on her lip nervously. "I'm not you know" She said.
"Not what?" I asked .She stepped closer to me and looked into my eyes. "Safer not being with you "I looked back into her eye's startled. "Yes you are "I replied softly. "I don't care if he was your uncle, your not him. So just forget about it ok. "Reality hit and I stepped back. "Stop Ok !I can't take you just forgiving me for everything just like that! "I noticed the tears in her eyes and I turned around not wanting to see her like that. I felt her touch my shoulder and pull me around to face her." Please stop making excuses ok. I don't care and if you feel guilty like its your fault then do this for me. Just be my friend and forget everything else. "Her eyes looked into mine pleading. She really had beautiful eyes that I could stare into for ever. "Ok" I said softly tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. She smiled brightly and hugged me. I slowly responded. "Ok I need to go to bed now baby's sake, I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked. I nodded and she smiled and turned practically skipping. I signed and headed after her to the Slytherin common room.
All the Professors, Sirius, Lupin and Arthur Weasley crowded around a crystal ball and watched the exchange of the two. "Aw yes things are going to get more interesting, A lot more interesting "Professor Tawny said. They all exchanged looks with one another. "Good and Bad" She added. The Professors said their Good-nights and headed to there own chambers to sleep.
