"I think we should tell Dumbledore first." Hermione announced as Draco and herself stepped into the hall together in their robes.
"Yeah, might as well." Draco agreed. The two unlikely lovers walked the halls on the way to the headmaster's office in silence. When they arrived there Hermione spoke the password, 'strawberry jellybean' and they walked up the stone steps to the office. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk pondering things when the two walked in.
"Ah, my two Head Persons, what can I do for you?" He was wearing light blue robes that set off his twinkling eyes that were hidden beneath his spectacles.
"Headmaster, we have a problem." Draco began calmly.
"What might that problem be Mister Malfoy?"
Draco looked at Hermione, his eyes pleading. "I'm pregnant Professor, and Draco is the father. And if Lucius found out, he would kill Draco." She explained.
"Yes Miss Granger, I do agree with you that if Lucius Malfoy found out that Draco had impregnated anyone at all, he would be very angry. But what do you suggest we do?"
Hermione was grateful that Dumbledore had not punished them for her being pregnant. She sighed. "We were planning on asking Harry to act like the father until we at least get out of school."
"And do you think that Mister Potter will agree to this?" Dumbledore queried.
"We hope so, we were going to ask him after we asked you." Draco squeaked, he had never told anyone about his life, let along the 'Muggle loving headmaster' that he was raised to despise.
Dumbledore put his hands together in a steeple manner and looked down at them in contemplation.
"Very well, ask Harry and then come back to me with his answer, from then I will alert the teachers." And with that he dismissed them from his office and the couple went into the hall.
"Well, I guess we should get this over with," Hermione mumbled as they went toward the Gryffindor common room. As they entered the room everyone looked up and gasped. A Slytherin in the Gryffindor common room, it was unheard of!
Harry smiled at Hermione while Ron glared dangerously at Draco. "Hey Harry, can I talk to you in the hall?" Hermione asked sweetly. Harry looked back at Ron and then stood up and walked with Hermione and Draco out into the hall.
"So what did you want Mione?" Harry questioned as they reached the hall and the glum looking Ron was out of sight.
"Harry, I have a huge favor to ask you, but I need for you not to have a bloody cow when I ask you to do this."
Harry nodded at Hermione and prompted her to continue.
The know it all Head Girl, who was so used to knowing exactly what to say, was lost for words as she looked into her best friend's emerald green eyes. She took a deep breath and just said it. "Harry, I'm pregnant."
Harry began to laugh, thinking that Hermione was joking until he saw the seriousness in her eyes. "Oh Merlin Hermione. Who's the father?" He knew he didn't have to ask the question but he did anyway.
Draco stood up from his leaning position on the wall and raised his hand. "Guilty as charged." He drawled in his old tone.
Harry looked away from Hermione who now had tears coming down her porcelain cheeks. "How could you do this to me?" He whispered.
"Harry, it had nothing to do with you and you know it! I fell in love with Draco, that's just how it goes." Hermione cried.
Emerald eyes turned to face honey ones, he held her gaze and took her hands. "Okay Hermione, what is it you want me to do?"
"Harry, I need you to act like the father. Just until school ends, we just have to hide the fact that its Draco's child so that Lucius doesn't find out. Please Harry."
Harry's grip tightened on Hermione's hands. "I would do anything for you Hermione, and you know that, but I need a little time to think about that."
Hermione wiped a tear from her face, "Alright Harry, take all the time you need."
The Boy Who Lived smiled at Hermione and went back into the common room. Draco hugged the Head Girl tightly and they walked back to their rooms. So that he could comfort the depressed Hermione, Draco slept in her bed that night, holding her and whispering into her ear so she could fall asleep in his arms.
