A/N: Well here I am again, after such a long time. I've given up on finding time to type it on the computer and then send it to Sinsly, my beta-reader. So I wrote this chapter during class last week and gave it to Sinsly, who beta-read it right away. And I've had it stuffed in my backpack for a week now. Finally, I took it out this weekend and here I am typing it. So sorry for the long wait, but I'm a well-known procrastinator. I want to thank yaw for all the reviews I got for the last chapter. And on with the show…or story…whatever!

Chappie 12 – The Meeting

Hermione sat next to her bedroom window, looking out, wondering what to do. School at Hogwarts had ended, and while most of the students had their minds set on getting a decent job in the wizardry world, Hermione had other things to think about. Like the baby living inside her.

She postponed telling Draco till the end of the school year. He didn't need something like this on his mind. Hermione didn't even know how she was going to tell him. Her biggest fear was that he would leave her after hearing the shocking news. That he wouldn't be able to handle all the responsibility and wished that he never got involved with her. Her eyes watered just at the thought of this.

As she changed her blouse, her mother walked into her room. Hermione had told her mother and was glad that she understood. Yes, of course, Hermione's mom was taken aback. She never thought that her daughter would do such an act and not think of the consequences. Her mom sat on the edge of Hermione's bed, looking as if she aged ten years from worry.

"So Hermione, are you going to tell him?"

Hermione stood in front of her closet, trying to choose between two pairs of pants. "Maybe."

Her mother sighed. "Honey, you have to. If you don't, he'll feel betrayed."

Hermione turned to face her mom. "What if he…leaves me?"

"Hermione, if he really loves you and cares for you, he won't. Just trust him and yourself."

Hermione sighed and nodded. "Don't worry Hermione, everything will be fine." She gave Hermione a quick and left the room.

Draco was surrounded by muggles as he sat in a park, waiting for Hermione. He stared in disgust as a group of girls passed by him for the millionth time, giggling and pointing as they did. He was grateful when he spotted Hermione coming towards him. He made sure the stalking group of girls were watching as he gave Hermione a mind-blowing kiss. He placed his arm around her waist (his stalkers threw nasty looks at Hermione) and they walked to a more deserted area.

Draco sat on the grass and pulled Hermione next to him. She was very quiet and a bit dazed. She placed her head on his chest, forcing him to lie on his back.

He ran his hands through her hair. "Hermione are you okay?" She didn't answer; she only tightened her grip around him. "Hermione, talk to me." He felt something wet seep through his shirt. She was crying. "Hermione---"

"Draco. I'm…I'm pregnant." Silence filled the air around them. Draco didn't move his hand from her hair, nor did he speak. He heard Hermione through her sobs mumbling something about being sorry. He continued to run his fingers through her hair, to calm her down.

"Hermione, let's get married." He heard Hermione catch her breath. She sat up automatically and looked at him, her eyes red from tears and her face crinkled up in a smile. He watched as her eyes lit up. "Really?" He smiled calmly as he gently caressed her cheek. Hermione sat there, stunned. He couldn't help but smirk as he pulled her down for a kiss. Her lips felt so soft and tender. She gave in to him and let the pleasure of his kiss set in. But then she suddenly pulled back.

"Just like that? We get married?"

He sat up and looked into her anxious eyes. "Yes, but first…"

Hermione ran her hand over her skirt (for the hundredth time) before she walked into the Malfoy Manor. Draco stood by her side and smiled reassuringly. The servants welcomed Draco kindly and seemed like they didn't take notice to Hermione at all. She walked a few paces behind Draco, taking in the dark halls around her.

Her eyes examined the many dimly lit rooms they passed. Hermione knew that Lucius Malfoy had been killed during the war with Lord Voldemort. She couldn't believe that someone would live in this huge house all alone. Draco too her hand as they stepped into a larger room. A lightly lit chandelier hung from the middle of the ceiling, sending rays of light throughout the room.

"Draco…" a gentle, but stern voice entered the room. Hermione felt a cold shiver ripple through her as she turned to see Narcissa Malfoy. Hermione read her features like a book. She sat in an elegant chair; her frail body seemed as if it would sink into it at any moment. She looked as if she had never aged, no wrinkles along her face, nothing at all. But Hermione sensed her weakness growing from her eyes.

"Mother…I didn't see you there…"

"Who is this? Who have you brought into our home?"

Draco motioned to Hermione for her to step up next to him. Hermione took a deep breath before she answered. "Good afternoon Ms.Malfoy. I'm Hermione Gr---"

"Granger." Narcissa finished for her as she picked up her tea cup. "The young lady from the muggle family. Why is she here Draco?"

Draco seemed nervous. "Mother, we want…." Hermione couldn't believe that Draco was stuttering. "We are going to get married."

Narcissa Malfoy brought the tea cup down from her lips. She looked at the both of them as her cup slightly shook in her tiny hand. She answered as she calmly placed her cup on the table.

"No, you are not"

Draco's eyebrows furrowed. "What?!"

Narcissa's head snapped up. "I'm not allowing you to throw your life away for someone like her! Your father wouldn't have allowed it either! Do you hear me?! You are going to get this mudblood out of my sight and out of your life!"

Draco tensed as heard the word mudblood, but answered. "She's pregnant!"

Narcissa glared at Draco and he quieted down. Hermione watched as Draco's head drooped down a bit, as if he were giving up. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She placed her hand on his shoulder and was shocked when he brushed her hand off. Tears filled her eyes. It was what she had feared. Her heart dropped and she felt a sickening feeling growing in the pit of her stomach. She watched as Narcissa stood up from her chair even though her vision was blurred by tears.

Narcissa threw a disgusted look at her. "I would advise you to get rid of that baby. And rid yourself from my son's life you filthy harlot." She then walked out the room, her cloak trailing behind her. Hermione stared at Draco's back. "Draco...?" He turned slowly, a look of remorse on his face. Tears dropped and ran down Hermione's cheeks. Was he just going to stand there and not do anything about this?! Hermione was filled with anger as she realized he betrayed her. She turned on her heel and ran down the hall towards the doors, her hair flowing behind her.

She mumbled the magical words to apparate as she ran, feeling as if she was going to break down any second. "HERMIONE!"  She heard his voice, the voice she once loved to hear call her name. But she kept running and forced the last words to the spell out of her mouth. She left Draco Malfoy.

A/N: Woohoo! Took me 20 minutes to type that up! I hope you guys enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed typing it. Sinsly adored this chapter because she loves Draco and despises Hermione. I swear, she wrote "REJECTION! Hahaha!"  over all the papers. Lol. And my other friend was trying to read it, but she couldn't pronounce Hermione's and Draco's names. So she named them Baloney & Taco. Heehee. I would have updated last week, as a birthday gift to myself (lol), but I swear, the school wants to kill us with homework before we get out. Oh well. Don't forget to leave a review! Chow for now!
