Next class was Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid and the Slytherins. Hermione knew she had to put her plan into action now or never.
She found that Harry was waiting for her by the doors, she walked up and smiled.
"Ready?" He whispered. She nodded eagerly and he took her hand in his, it engulfed hers warmly.
As they walked down the sloping grounds of the castle she saw her classmates look up, Draco saw her and Harry hand in hand and his heart sank. Its for the baby, remember Draco.
"Well looks like that Mudblood rat Granger has got herself a Pothead boyfriend." Pansy sneered. Draco had the sudden urge to slap her with all he had but kept it in and just smirked back at her.
Pansy latched herself onto his arm and snickered in Hermione's direction, Draco again felt the urge to slap her but instead shook her off his arm. She frowned at him before walking off to go talk to her friends.
Hermione and Harry stood next to each other and Harry wrapped his arms around the Head Girl's waist and Hermione felt a chill run up her spine.
Ron took one look at them and turned red with anger. He walked over to Harry and stiffly said, "Can I speak to you mate?"
Hermione gasped, she had forgotten all about Ron. She pulled Harry back as he went to follow Ron to a spot where no one was standing. "Just tell him." She sighed.
Harry shut his eyes and followed the flustered Ron. "Ron, just let me explain before you have a bloody conniption!" Harry said, his eyes blazing. Ron backed down from his friend and let him explain.
"Now listen to me Ron, I am only acting as Hermione's boyfriend for her safety and the safety of…" He couldn't bring himself to say it, "Her child." He breathed. Ron's face went from crimson to white in a matter of seconds.
"C-Child?"
"Yes Ron, she's pregnant. And you know by who as well. I just don't want to see her get hurt." Harry explained.
Ron took one look at his best friend, and then glanced in Hermione's direction before storming off toward the castle. Harry ran a hand through his already unruly hair and walked back toward Hermione.
"He didn't take it very well." He grumbled.
"That's alright, he'll get over it in time." Hermione said with forced calmness, she turned away so that Harry couldn't see the salty tears threatening to streak down her cheeks.
A few steps away, someone was eavesdropping on the conversation that Harry had been having with both Ron and Hermione. A grin spread across the person's face as the class turned to Hagrid for the beginning of the lesson.
*****
That week was full of stares and confusion for Hermione. She threw glares at anyone that she caught staring at her and Harry in classes. Draco had taken it better than she thought he would have, he had welcomed Harry with open arms pretty much. He still didn't like the boy, oh no, but at least he stopped sneering at him when he spoke to him, and he had also started calling him Harry.
One night Hermione was laying on the couch in the common room reading, Draco came through the portrait hole after his patrol, and walked over behind her.
"Hello darling." He purred in a deep rough voice, Hermione's heart jumped, she hadn't heard him come in.
"Well if it isn't the little prat Malfoy." She hissed back playfully.
He scooped her up off the couch and settled her on his lap as he sat down in one of the chairs. She giggled furiously.
"We haven't been to the garden together since…I told you." She remembered the night painfully.
"I've been going there quite often actually, during my free periods." Draco told her.
He scooped her up again and carried her out of the room and to the garden, luckily they didn't meet up with anyone along the way. Instead of carrying her to the waterfall, he took her to a large tree that's trunk was so big a car could fit in it easily. He took out his wand and tapped on it, the trunk cut out to reveal a door that led to a room. The room was almost as if it was underwater, there was a spell put on the walls that made them like glass and there was water running down them.
"We're under the waterfall if that's what your thinking." He laughed at Hermione's amazement as he set her down on the bed.
"I could tell." She giggled as she lay back on the bed, the ceiling even had water running over it. "This is amazing, why didn't you ever tell me about it?"
"I wanted to keep it as a surprise. I thought you might like it."
"I love it."
"I love you."
Hermione smiled, memorizing the way he had said it. "I love you too."
*****
The two woke up in bed the next morning, Hermione watched the water run over the walls as she lay there feeling at peace with the world. Last night had been challenging because of her growing stomach, but now she was more sensitive to every touch, so much that she had felt as if she were on top of the world.
"That was amazing." She whispered.
"You're amazing."
*****
That day was a Sunday, so Ron didn't wake up until late. As he woke up he felt a sharp pain in his side. He disregarded it and sat up, the pain returned even worse and long this time. He groaned and lay back on his bed, rubbing his side.
He lay until the pain subsided and then tried sitting back up again. The pain returned, and Ron knew something was wrong. He clutched his side and walked down the stairs into the common room, everyone had gone to breakfast already so there was no one there.
"Help me someone!" He called out. No one came, and the pain was worse and constant. Then, there was darkness.
*****
Hermione and Draco left the garden early to go to breakfast, on the way back, as everyone else had just arrived, Hermione decided to go and check on the Gryffindor Tower to make sure everything was still in one piece. She stepped through the portrait hole and saw and unconscious Ron laying on the floor.
"Oh God Ron!" She cried as she went to his side. He didn't stir.
"Ron, please wake up." A lone tear streamed down her cheek, she couldn't lose him. She checked his pulse and found that it was shallow. The portrait hole swung open and she turned around to see Seamus coming into the common room.
"Oh thank Merlin Seamus, help me, there's something wrong with Ron!" Seamus didn't move, he didn't do anything besides stick his hand in the pocket of his robe.
"Seamus, didn't you hear me?"
He drew his wand and pointed it at Hermione. "Stupefy." He said in a rough voice, blackness came onto Hermione as the spell hit her.
*****
Hermione woke up on the cold stone floor of a dungeon. "Oh God, where am I?" She whispered sitting up. There was no light, but she could tell the outline of a door because of the light outside of it. She strained her ears when she heard a sound, a small click, click, click from a cane. She knew of only one person that the cane could belong to, and she knew what it looked like. It had a metal serpent head at the top, and the owner was the worst person in the world.
The door creaked open to reveal a man with a cane and a long black cloak, his hair and face could only be that of one person.
"Malfoy." She whispered.
"Crucio." She heard the man say, she felt pain tearing through her like nothing that she had ever felt before. Then blackness came again, and with the blackness, came relief from the pain. Sweet, sweet, blackness.
