Chapter 5- Healed

(Present)

Hermione woke up with some one right in front of her. As he eyes focused she could tell it was Harry.

"Harry?" she asked sleepily.

Harry looked over when he heard her say his name.

"Your awake!" said Harry in surprise. "I was afraid you would never wake up."

Hermione gave him a smile weak smile. "Thank you for taking care of me."

"It was nothing. I figured I was the one who gave you the awful news, I should be the one who takes care of you," said Harry.

Hermione's eyes widened. She had forgot about Draco.

"Oh Harry, it is my entire fault," said Hermione with tears in her eyes.

"No, no it's not your fault. It turned out Draco didn't kill himself. He was murdered but they made it look like a suicide," said Harry.

"Who murdered him?" asked Hermione.

"His father," said Harry sadly. "They killed him because he told them.well how about you read the letter for yourself."

Harry got up and walking into another room. He came back with a piece of parchment in his hand. He handed it to Hermione. She read it.

Hermione,

There is no way I can ever make up for what I took from you and I know this. But I want you to try. I have quit the Death Eaters and I even told my father I wanted to marry you. He was not happy about this but I don't care. I just want you back. I want a family and children. Speaking of children I have a surprise for you. Back in my room that night when you thought I killed the child well I didn't. I used very dark magic and I'm surprised the wards around the school didn't go off. I stopped the child's growth. Sort of like shutting it down. So you see the child is still in you. All you have to do is mutter "Lithliana" and the child will continue to grow and be born healthy and happy. It was the only way I could make my father believe it was gone and you had to believe it was gone too incase he made you take a truth potion. Please, don't be mad at me still. I love you.

Hope you owl back soon,

Draco Malfoy

Hermione let the parchment fall from her hands. She couldn't believe it. After everything she went threw. The suicide attempt. The crying for days at a time. All that time the baby was still inside of her.

"How did I still have periods?" she thought to herself.

"Hermione, would you like for me to mutter the spell?" asked Harry.

Hermione looked up at him. She had forgot he was still in the room.

"Yes please," said Hermione. "But first how did you get this letter?"

"He didn't get to send it to you. It was on his desk when we found him," said Harry.

"Oh,"

Harry took out his wand and said "Lithliana.".

Hermione felt a small twitch in her stomach and before she knew it she was running to the bathroom with morning sickness.

When she came out of the bathroom she gave Harry a big hug.

"I have my baby back," she said in his hair.

Harry smiled.

"I have some of Draco back too," she whispered to herself.

Harry closed his eyes. He wished things could have been easier.

"Well I am going to go take a shower," said Hermione as she walked pulled out of his hug.

"OK," said Harry as he let her go. Hermione went to the stares and walked to the second floor. But before she was out of sight she turned in Harry's direction.

"Thank you again," and she disappeared.

Harry sat down and put his head in his hands. He had made a big mistake and now it was really starting to get to him.

"Oh Harry what have you done?" he said to himself.

Harry had been the one who killed Draco. Harry hated Draco for making Hermione so depressed and he vowed the day he found Hermione half-dead that Draco would pay. Then Harry found the letter Draco had been getting ready to send and he felt horrible. So Harry made it look like a suicide and then when he was called to check it out he said it looked like Draco's father did it.

Harry got up to leave when he saw..no it couldn't have been! Could it? Harry closed his eyes and shook his head. Then opened his eyes again.

"My mind is playing with me," he said out loud.

"Thought you could get rid of me Potter?" asked Draco Malfoy who was standing behind him.

"I killed you!" said Harry in surprised.

"Wrong! You killed one of my servants. With all of my enemies you didn't really think I wouldn't be so exposed, did you?" asked Draco with a small smile.

"I have to thank you though. You delivered Hermione my letter."

"Well since I didn't kill you then, I suppose I have to do it now," said Harry as he raised his wand.

"NO!!" yelled Hermione as she ran down the stairs. She had been about to come down stairs when she heard Draco speak. So she heard everything the two boys had said.

"Harry, why did you try to kill Draco?" asked Hermione as she looked at him.

"Hermione he had you to the point of suicide. I hated him for that!" said Harry.

Hermione looked t him. She understood him but she couldn't deal with it.

"Harry please just leave. I will talk to you later," said Hermione.

"But Hermione-"

"Harry just go before I get mad at you," said Hermione a little angrier. Harry obeyed.

Hermione and Draco stood just looking at each other after Harry had left. Then they hugged. Hermione began to cry.

"I thought you were dead," she cried.

Draco smiled and looked down at her.

"Well when I left you sounded like you would have liked me dead," he said.

"Oh Draco I would never have wanted you dead. I hated you when I thought you killed the baby but I didn't hate you," she said.

"Well then I have only one question," said Draco as he backed up.

"What?" asked Hermione.

Draco got down on one knee and pulled out a small ring.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes! Yes Draco I will marry you," said Hermione as she hugged him and gave him a kiss.

That night Draco and Hermione made love like it was their first time and all threw it all Hermione could think was, "My heart is finally healed."
