I only own Demeter, Alonzo, Dusty, and the plot.
Not so many reviews from last chapter, but I have a feeling I'll get a lot of reviews for this one. I'm starting too knew fics. One is of course, about Hermione and Draco, with a dash of a ship from a TV show that millions watch. The other one is a SLASH between Harry and Draco. I couldn't help myself after reading Harry/Draco fics. Lol. Something big is going to happen this chapter. You'll be sitting on the edge of your seats! Cliffhanger! Hahaha! Enjoy! (Sorry for the mess up. I guess FFNet didn't like the addresses I had in here. Try again.)

Black Shield
Draco walked into the Heads' Common Room with Driretlan at his side. Hermione lay on the couch, staring blankly up at the ceiling. Hermione turned her head ever so slightly to look at him. Draco stopped in his movements. Despite the tears in her eyes, her eyes were emotionless. Her usually rich, warm, brown eyes were now pale, distant, dust brown.
She hates me was his first thought. His heart broke at that moment. Driretlan whimpered and licked Draco's hand.
'White-pup, something is not rrright with female,' Driretlan whispered into Draco's numb mind.
Draco hung his head and ran to the safety of his room. Driretlan lagged behind. Something wasn't right. The vibes he was getting from this female were depressing. Much like the ones that White-pup had had when Driretlan had found him.
'What makes you weep, female?' he asked. He cautiously moved towards the girl.
Hermione yelped at the sound of his inner voice. She soon settled when she remembered that telepathic wolves roamed the Hogwarts grounds.
"Nothing," she muttered.
The wolf did not believe her. As he drew closer, he could hear a second heartbeat coming from the female.
'Why does Mother-pup cry over unborn pup?' he asked, resting his muzzle on the edge of a cushion.
Hermione choked back a sob. "I love this baby, but I don't think Draco will want him," she whispered.
Driretlan's ears flipped forward in confusion. 'White-pup a father?'
Hermione nodded.
'Mother-pup should tell White-pup,' he replied.
Hermione shook her head fiercely.
"No. He'll leave me," she whispered.
Startling Driretlan, she suddenly bolted up to her room. The corners of Driretlan's maw turned down.
'Pups neverrr listen to Drrrirrretlan.'
~*~
Harry strolled into the Head's Common Room. It was like his permanent camp out room. After all that had happened, everyone besides Hermione and Draco had decided to stay close to the two. Harry halted, all of his body heat vanishing.
"S-Sirius?" he whispered.
It was like a nightmare and a dream put together. For two years he had dreamt of Sirius's death. He always wished that Sirius were still here. And there before Harry stood a large black brute.
'Sirrrius? I'm sorrrrrry but I am not Sirrrius. Though, he was a good frrriend of mine,' the wolf replied in Harry's mind.
Relief and disappointment washed over Harry.
"You knew Sirius?" he asked, slowly taking a seat in his favorite armchair.
'Of courrrse. When he was a pup he would visit me in the forrrest. He often called me his brrrotherrr. He didn't like his youngerrr brrrotherrr, Rrregulus,' the wolf explained.
Harry nodded. Ginny entered, not looking as if she was emotionally unstable. Which she was. Her eyes shone with brilliance as her gaze landed on Driretlan.
"A wolf. I love wolves," she whispered.
(AN: Just to let you know, Driretlan is NOT color blind.)
Driretlan's ears perked.
'Firrre-pup shall be good frrriend,' he said.
Ginny laughed and walked over to the wolf. She dropped to her knees and scratched behind Driretlan's ears.
'How do you do that? It feels so good!' he exclaimed.
Harry smiled. It was good to see Ginny smile.
"Ginny, we'd better get to bed. We have classes tomorrow," Harry said.
Ginny nodded and quickly got ready for bed. It was not long before Ginny curled up against Harry. Driretlan lay at the foot of their gigantic sleeping bag. They all slept somewhat peacefully. Peace was good. Peace was everything.
~*~
A month passed by, albeit slowly. Hermione and Draco were still avoiding each other. Hermione's stomach had grown. Hermione was happy to have her baggy robes to conceal her bulging middle. Driretlan seemed to be everyone's confident. Draco was still oblivious to the fact that his lost love was pregnant.
Though Ron and Blaise's relationship grew, they were still too cautious to try the big S word with each other. Sure, Blaise had laid many men, and Ron was no longer as negative about 'scarlet women', but that was too big for their very fragile relationship. They wanted to wait. To wait at least a year. If they would ever marry, they would wait until their wedding night.
Ginny and Harry still looked for comfort in each other.
All of them had had their breakdowns, but they had pulled through eventually. It was strange how the month had passed in a dull haze of events.
It was when Wednesday morning dawned bright and early that would begin Hermione's first day of real hell.
"Hemione! Hurry up! Classes will be starting in ten minutes!" Ginny yelled.
Hermione looked away from her mirror and towards the direction of Ginny's voice.
"I'll be down in a minute!" she yelled.
She turned back to the mirror and rubbed a solution over the bags under her eyes. The bags immediately vanished. She quickly pulled on her white trainers and pulled her baggy robes on over her maternity clothes.
A disturbing tingle in her lower abdomen caught her attention.
"Cut it out," she hissed.
The feeling ebbed away, occasionally coming back as if her baby was trying to make her uncomfortable. She sighed and dragged her bag downstairs. Harry immediately swung Hermione's bag over his shoulder to accompany his own.
'Be carrreful pups,' Driretlan said.
All of them smiled (Hermione's was a bit lopsided.) and left for their classes. Draco was already gone.
Care of Magical Creatures went well enough. She had focused completely on the jarvey she was assigned to. Though, she hated the creature. It had called her a 'mudblood.' She had dropped it, and it had bounced a few times. It was just another reminder.
Draco had cursed at the jarvey he was assigned to for calling him a 'filthy git.' He had then put a silencing charm after it called him a 'mudblood lover.'
Arithmacy had gone well, also. Even though Draco was in her class, she had been too absorbed in her class work to even notice him. Today's lesson had been mainly a section in Arithmacy that was similar to muggle Algebra. (A/N: Oh, how I hate it!)
Using her time-turner, she had then gone back to Ancient Runes, followed by another time-turn into muggle-studies.
Then came a note filled period of History of Magic. A silent potions class followed where she was partnered with Draco. Transfiguration. Lunch. Charms came with illusion charms and finally the last class. Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Professor Demeter Morgan and Professor Cho Chang were waiting for their class. Hermione gratefully sat down in her seat. Draco sat down on the other side of the room. Blaise sat close to Draco with Ron beside Blaise, Harry diagonal from Ron, and Hermione to Harry's right. Everyone else soon filed in. Demeter hopped off of her table and smiled.
"Good morrow, class. Today, we'll be working on bubble shields," she announced.
Cho also stood. "Move your desks, back. Professor Morgan and I will aim various spells at you, and you'll need room for your bubble to expand," Cho explained, pulling out her wand.
Everyone pushed his or her desks against the wall. Hermione sighed as that strange tingling came back. Hermione got into line, gripping her wand tightly.
Demeter smiled at them and stepped forward.
"The incantation is 'amparo burbuja.' The hand motion is a backhand swish and a flick. You must concentrate on things that make you feel safe and secure, like loved ones, pets, stuff like that," Demeter exclaimed.
Everyone nodded and waited to begin. Neville, who was at the front of the line, winced slightly. Demeter raised her wand and yelled, "EXPELLIARIMUS!"
Neville jumped and flicked his wand, forgetting about the backhand swish. "Amparo burbuja!" he yelled.
Bubbles started sprouting from his wand as it soared through the air. Neville quickly retrieved his bubble wand (A/N: Pun intended) and went to stand behind Draco at the end of the line.
Harry stepped forth just as Cho yelled her incantation. Harry quickly did the backhand swish and flick, yelling the bubble shield incantation. A bubble suddenly engulfed Harry and the spell was rebound.
The line slowly continued to move forward. Lavender had incorrectly yelled the incantation and put the bubble around Demeter. Crabbe surprisingly produced an exceptional bubble. Seamus had bolted away from the jelly-legs charm, afraid he wouldn't succeed in his attempt, and Blaise had produced her bubble as well.
Hermione stepped forward, waiting for Cho to fire. Cho raised her wand and yelled, "Impedimenta!"
A wave of dizziness washed over Hermione, making her drop her wand. That tingling in her stomach seemed to erupt as the spell came closer. Suddenly, a black, cloudy bubble suddenly surrounded her and absorbed the spell's energy. A red spiral of sparks came out of the shadowy bubble and hit Cho square in the chest. Cho fell to the ground, stupefied. Hermione swayed on the spot and tilted backwards.
"Hermione!" Draco yelled as the protective bubble disappeared.
He quickly caught Hermione, right before she lost consciousness. Demeter rushed forward and levitated Cho.
"Class dismissed. Draco, get Hermione. We're going to the Hospital Wing," Demeter said.
Draco hurriedly levitated Hermione as the class left the room. Demeter and Draco ran towards the Infirmary, the two unconscious women floating ahead of them. Draco's last thought before he rushed into the Hospital Wing was short.
'What just happened?'
