The rest of that week Ron hadn't talked to Hermione at all, in fact, he hadn't done much at all. He sat in his classes staring at the walls, Snape had taken a few too many house points because he wasn't paying attention. This really didn't affect him.
Harry had tried to talk to him, but nothing helped. Ron had told him about how he had caught Hermione and Malfoy, but Harry already knew this was going to happen. Ginny had told him about how Hermione liked Draco, and he had gotten over it. Ron wasn't so good about getting over things.
Hermione had tried to ignore Ron that week as well, he was acting like a total prat. She also had to deal with the looming Yule Ball. She had been so wrapped up in…Draco…that she had totally forgotten about it. She hired the same band as last time, and arranged food and seating, this time having all 4 person tables with the exception of hers and Draco's.
The dance approached quickly, and Hermione knew that Ron wouldn't ask her to it this time. Draco had asked her, more of in a playful way after one of their…escapades. After that first night, the two could always be found sleeping in one another's bed. Hermione had gotten used to waking up to him every morning. She felt that she could do that for the rest of her life.
One morning Hermione woke up feeling nauseous. She crept out of her bedroom, which Draco had taken residence in last night, and ran to the bathroom, closing the door and running to the toilet. She threw up for a good 5 minutes before she felt well enough to stand and make her way to the hospital wing. She put her cloak over her pajama's and walked to the wing, having to stop one time to make a dash to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom as she felt another half coming up.
When she made it to the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey bustled over to her and put her on the bed, taking her temperature and asking her what the symptoms were. When Hermione told her that she had just woken up and spilled the entire contents of her stomach out, out of the blue, the kind witch smiled.
"Hold on just a minute deary." She went to one of the cabinets and brought back a small cup. "I need you to urinate in this for me."
Hermione took the cup and reluctantly went to the bathroom to fill it. She came back out and handed it to Madam Pomfrey. She then took it over to a counter and put a small drop of a potion into it and swirled it around with a glass stick. The contents of the cup turned blue. She smiled again and turned to Hermione.
"Congratulations Hermione, your pregnant!"
Hermione fainted.

Draco woke up later and found that Hermione was out of the room. "Probably planning that bloody ball again." He mused to himself. He didn't want to have to deal with the stares when they were dancing again. Although he had caught glimpses of Hermione's dress robes hanging in the bureau and he definitely liked the image he got when he thought of it on her.
He walked around the room trying to find a note of some sort or any sign of where she might have went. After a while he gave up and went to his room to put on his robes.
Hermione came back about an hour later after Madam Pomfrey had revived her. Luckily Madam Pomfrey had told her that she would not be kick out of Hogwarts for this because it had happened many times with 7th years. They were adults, and Hogwarts was also a place where you could find the love of your life before you went off into the real world. Hermione would just have to deal with the pregnancy and the stares once her stomach got big enough.
She walked into the common room and sat down by the fire. Draco came over and sat next to her.
"Where were you?" He asked lightly.
"Just went for a little walk that's all, I just needed more time to think." She figured this was a plausible answer considering she had been doing a lot of thinking lately, mostly in the secret garden.
"Oh." He slipped his arms around her and laid his head on her chest listening to her heart beat rapidly. He was a little disappointed, she hadn't remembered what day it was. This was a very important day for him, his 18th birthday. He was now a man.
Of course she hadn't forgotten about his birthday, but the news of her being pregnant had definitely taken it out of her mind. She recalled that it was the day he turned 18 and smiled.
"Oh, I forgot!" She got up and scampered off to her room, bringing the potions book that she had bought him at the beginning of the year. It was wrapped in silver and green paper and tied with a silver bow. He quirked an eyebrow as she got up and left the room but his features softened as she returned with the gift. "Happy birthday," She smiled.
Draco opened the gift and looked through the pages, his eyes glimmering, he had always wanted this book. "Thank you." He hugged her and kissed her nose and then moved his lips down to hers, kissing her deeply.
The kiss was shortened as Hermione got up. "Draco." She had to tell him.
"Mmmm?" He said, looking up.
She couldn't do that, not on his birthday. She faked a smiled, "I love you."
"I love you too." He stood up and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her again.
"We should probably go over plans for the ball again, considering its in less than a week." Hermione said, pulling away from him and going to the desk. Draco looked a little put out but followed her and stood behind her as she sat in the chair and went over the plans again.
*****
The week passed quickly and before anyone knew it, it was time for the ball. Hermione had it planned on the day before break, that way people could go home for Christmas and not worry about missing the ball. Classes ended early that day so that everyone -mostly the girls- could get ready for the ball.
Hermione and Ginny locked themselves in Hermione's bedroom to get ready for the ball. Ginny was going with Harry and she told Hermione that Ron was going with a Hufflepuff 7th year named Mackena. The girls spent the day pampering themselves and doing each other's hair and makeup.
When it was almost time to go to the ball, Draco took a quick shower and put on his new dress robe, it was silver with green trimming.
He sat in the chair and waited for Hermione and Ginny to come out of the room. There was a soft knock on the door and he sighed and got up to get it. Harry stood there, alone. It was strange for Draco to see him without one of the other two of the famous trio. He reluctantly invited him into the room and they sat in the chairs by the fire in silence.
The door to Hermione's room opened and the two men looked up. Ginny was wearing maroon robes that flowed out after her waist. Harry took her arm and led her out of the room after smiling at Hermione. The head girl was wearing a sliver two piece outfit that was more of a gown than it was a robe. It was strapless and the back was in a corset. She couldn't have looked more beautiful.
"Do you like it?" She grinned.
"I love it." He smirked taking her arm and leading her out of the room after Harry and Ginny.
"I love you," She whispered as he took her arm. She knew she would have to tell him tonight, but wasn't sure how to.
