A/N-Read! Review! Sláinte!
Draco Malfoy walked into the Slytherin common room, and sat down. He looked disdainfully around at his housemates. They all sat waiting for Professor Snape, their head of house. Snape walked in, and addressed them, "All 5th and 6th years remain, the rest of you go to your dormitories."
Seeing their hesitation, he added, "NOW!"
The younger students left, as did the 7th years. Snape looked at the remaining student with a dour expression on his face.
"There will be a new class added for you this year, the 7th years are to busy with their NEWTs, and will not take it. This WILL count for an OWL, so take it seriously!!!"
Severus Snape looked at them, their faces muddled with confusion as to what he was driving at. "I have fought tooth and nail against this, but to no avail. Dumbledore is still determined, and he believes this will lessen house rivalries."
'That's all great, but what the hell is this class?' Draco mused silently.
"You will be paired with a member of the opposite sex, who may or may not be in your house. You will be doing a variation of the Loco Parentis Spell, and you will be graded on the way you care for the child. For those of you who do not know, wizards often use this spell to conceive. For most, the more conventional way is used, but this spell allows for the witch and wizard to have a child thorough, if you will, magical means. However, the ministry carefully controls the use of this spell, and it takes permission to use it. The child will be as real as if you were to go about it in a more traditional way, but it's birth will be almost immediate. You will not be using this exact spell, but one similar to it, it is not a real child, but and illusion, a brown sack that will look like a child. However, it is safe to leave the illusion alone, or not to feed it, but your grade will be docked. You have absolutely no say in who your partner is. Dumbledore is going to tell you tomorrow, and I do not know any better than you do at this point whom they are. That is all, Go to bed now." Snape finished his speech, then turned and swept out of the common room.
Meanwhile, McGonagall was giving the Gryffindors a similar speech; Sprout the Hufflepuffs; and Vector the Ravenclaws. Afterward, they all went to sleep eagerly awaiting the next day. Meanwhile Dumbledore was busy talking to the sorting hat, and the two of them paired up all the students, one by one.
"Will all 5th and 6th years please remain after you are done with your breakfast?" the voice of Albus Dumbledore sounded throughout the Great Hall.
"Oh, this must be about that project McGonagall mentioned yesterday," said Harry as he ate his eggs.
"Yuh prlgumby woy" Ron swallowed his bacon, then restated, "Yeah, probably why?"
"Honestly you two, be quiet so we can hear what the headmaster is going to say." Hermione glared at them.
"You shut up Hermione!" said Pavarati angrily, "Lavender is trying to read Dean's palm!"
"I will now read to you the pairings, for the project you were informed about last night. Malfoy, Draco will be paired with Granger, Hermione." A deafening silence filled the room. Hermione looked at Harry, directing him a silent plea that it was a joke, but.
"Will our first pair please come up," said Dumbledore cheerily.
Ron looked like he would murder Malfoy; Ron had a crush on Hermione, except she didn't know that. Ron had hoped that they could be partners for the project.
"Next we have Parkinson, Pansy with Goyle, Gregory. Please, come up and stand with your partners when I call your names." (A/N-Ohhh, I'm gonna have soooooo much fun with this.)"Boot, Terry with Abbot, Hannah. Bulstrode Millicent with Creevy, Colin."
"When is he gonna call our names?" Ron asked Harry.
"Dunno, but most people have been picked." Harry replied.
"Potter, Harry is paired with Weasely, (A/N-Stop everything okay it would be soooooo funny if they ran out of girls and next came Ron's name. But that doesn't work with the plot. Plus, I'm a straight, and would have trouble writing slash. Also, many people paired are random. Dumbledore put some select ones together the rest were just matching up names that were left.) Weasely, Ginny." Harry froze for a moment his whole world had stood still at the name Weasely, he and Ron had looked at each other, looks of revulsion mirrored on their faces. But if Harry's world had been a piece of glass, in its frame perfectly still, frozen in time, the word Ginny was like a large rock being throw at it, shattering it. Harry breathed out a sigh of relief and hurried up to the stage.
"Weasley, Ronald," Ron blushed horribly at the use of his full name, "with Brown, Lavender." After Dumbledore finished, he told them to wait. Then he, Snape, and McGonagall led them to a corridor. "We will call you in by each pair to perform the spell," Dumbledore told them, then walked into a side room. Finally the only 6 people left were, Draco, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Lavender. Then Ron and Lavender were called in. Then Harry and Ginny. Lastly Draco and Hermione entered the little room. There was a basin lying there, and Dumbledore beckoned them to it. Here is the spell, now read it. They both scanned the spell, and then informed Dumbledore that they were done. "Good, now a hair from each of you heads." They obliged, and Dumbledore set the hairs down on a table. "Now, I need a drop of blood from each of you." They both pricked a finger, (and Hermione fell asleep, Draco kissed her, and everyone awoke, heheheh that would be funny but not really) Dumbledore then performed a quick healing spell on them, and drew them over to the basin. He put the hairs and blood inside it. Then he instructed them, "Hermione stand on that side, Draco, over there. Now join hands and perform the spell." Hermione and Draco reluctantly gripped each others hands, then chanted in unison,
Loco Parentis

(Yes, the spell is crap. but I dunno what else to do.)
They finished, and a flash of white light exploded all around them, surrounding them and enveloping the whole room. Hermione could feel alien magic consume her, rushing through her body. When it died abruptly, there was a tiny baby lying there. Hermione picked it up; unable to believe how real it looked. "Well, what gender is it?" asked Draco contemptuously.
"A boy." answered Hermione, not really listening.
"Good. At least you got that much right." Came Draco's haughty reply. "I will choose a name, and tell you when I have decided. You will be responsible for watching it, feeding it, and taking care if it. Do not expect me to help. Now, let's go."
"What!" Hermione was jerked out of her trance, "I will get equal share in deciding his name, and you will take care of him half the time!"
"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger, please hurry now." Said Albus Dumbledore cheerfully.
Hermione picked up the baby, and walked out with him. She met up with Harry and Ginny quickly, and asked, "Is yours a boy or a girl?
"Girl," said Harry happily. "Look, she has black hair like me! She hasn't opened her eyes yet though," he added mournfully.
"Don't forget Harry, these are just illusions," Hermione warned him, while privately thinking, 'They look so real, they feel so real, I have to remember it's just a spell.'
"I know," said Harry, "But still, she has black hair like me!"
"What about yours Hermione, boy or girl?" asked Ginny.
"Boy, He has the exact same hair and eyes as Draco though, which is rather annoying." Hermione replied.
"Ohh, lemme see!" squealed Ginny, and Hermione handed the baby to her. "Wow, you weren't kidding! He looks just like a baby Draco, he's so adorable!"
"Ginny!" said Harry, scandalized. "How can you say the words Draco and adorable in the same sentence?"
"Just look at him Harry," said Ginny as she gave the baby to Harry.
"Awwww, he is cute!" said Harry, as he looked at the peaceful baby in his arms. 'Not to mention he looks just like Draco, man is that weird.'
"Ok, give him back now Harry." Said Hermione.
She took back the baby, and the three of them walked down the hall together, talking.
"Have you two thought of a name yet?" asked Hermione.
"Sorta, we're still thinking about it though." Ginny replied.
"It's between Alison and Lily, what do you think?" Harry added.
"Those are both pretty names, but I would say.. Alison." Hermione replied cheerfully as she moved her baby onto her opposite shoulder.
"Alison it is then, Alison Lily Potter." Said Harry enthusiastically. "How about you Hermione? Do you have a name for him?" Harry gestured toward the baby draped on Hermione's shoulder.
"No, Draco informed me that he would decide the name, and he is probably still trying to find one evil enough. So, I'm probably just going to have to talk quicker than him, or else the baby will end up with some ridiculous name like Draco or Lucius." Hermione told them, laughing.
"That sounds so, Malfoy.." Harry replied cynically, "In fact it wouldn't surprise me it he named it after himself, the arrogant git."
'Draco's not the worst name, but Draco Malfoy makes it seem like it.' thought Hermione as she hurried along.
'Owen (Well Born), Judas (Bible Ref. - betrayed Jesus), Lucifer (Bible Ref. - Was the devil), Acerbus (Dark), Malus (Evil), Proditor (Betrayer), Cerates (Snake), Abeo (Devil)...wow there are so many good names.' Draco mused over all these as he hurried along the corridor, attempting to catch up with Granger.
Eventually all the students had made it back to the Great Hall, and they congregated around to listen to what Dumbledore had to say.
"I hope you have all had sufficient time to discuss baby names, because I will now be calling you up here to register the baby, and receive the other necessary materials. Oh, yes, I should explain those to you I think. The apparent realness of the child is due to a combination of factors including magical strength of the pair, unity when casting the spell, and many other complicated magical aspects of this spell. Now then, to business, you shall each receive 3 cards. One is for food, one for sleep, and one for comfort. If the child cries, or fusses, you shall press the card on it's hand, and if this is the correct card, the crying will cease. You will learn to differentiate from one cry to another, and learn that after applying food you will need to apply comfort, etcetera. No questions? Good, good. Let us move on then, yes, yes, let us move on. Where was I? Oh, registering you all. Good, good, jolly good. Come up when I call you, now. Boot and Abbot." Dumbledore finished his monologue, and stood there, smiling benignly and waiting for Terry and Hannah to come up to the front. When the pair got there, Dumbledore asked, "Well, is it a boy or a girl now?"
"She's a girl sir." Answered Terry quickly.
"Dribbles, Drabbles, and Droobles!" was the headmaster's response, and as he said the last word three pieces of Droobles Best Blowing Gum appeared in his hand. He offered a piece to the surprised Terry and Hannah, who tentatively accepted it. "Ah, now that we have some gum, do you have a name to accompany it?"
"Err, yessir, we were thinking of Sally Jane Boot." Answer Hannah shyly. 'Honestly, I do wish someone else was first!' she thought silently.
"Alas, my dear, dead Aunt Sally's name was Sally, but then she passed on." Dumbledore replied. "But mores the pity. Very well then, Sally Jane it is." Then Dumbledore bent over, and said a few words. The chips appeared in his hand. One was Blue, one was Silver, and the last was Red. Now, Silver is for Comfort, Blue is for Sleep, and Red is for Food. These will only work with Sally, so don't lose them or lend them." With that Dumbledore let them leave, and called up the next pair.
After a while, Dumbledore reached Ron and Lavender. After calling them up, he addressed Ron, "Ahh, and Mr. Weasely, please enlighten us as to the name and gender of your child."
"Male, and we have decided to call him Benjamin Derek Weasely."
"Splendid, splendid, oh, that is splendid! Now here are you cards, there you are then, go on."
Ron picked up the child and they hurried down the aisle to there spots. Ron gratefully handed Ben over to Lavender, and hurried over to converse with Harry. However, Harry was quickly called up, and Ron talked to Hermione instead.
"So, Hermione, how bad was it?"
"I do not want to talk about it Ron."
"Does that mean I have your permission to maim, mutilate, and mortally wound Malfoy?"
"No, I've got to go Ron. Talk to Harry, he can help you with your assassination plans."
"Ok."
Ron hurried over to Harry and Ginny, who were looking at Alison, and he cleared his throat loudly. Harry looked up, and said, "Hey, Ron! Have you seen Alison Lily yet? Look, she has my hair!!!"
'Alison has my hair that's so cool, when will she open her eyes, but she has my hair!!!' Harry thought.
"Quiet, Harry, Hermione is up now."
Dumbledore looked at the students in front of him. Then he asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Boy," Draco replied.
"I see, now what is his name?"
"Joseph." started Hermione
"Owen." Draco cut in
"Malfoy." They finished together.
Draco turned and glared at Hermione who was holding the baby. "Joseph," he hissed, "that's not the name I wanted to use!"
"Oh well."
"Erhrmm" Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Here are your chips then, go on." Hermione walked off the stage angrily. As if Malfoy had any right to tell her what to do!!!
After the rest of the instructions, Hermione was very glad to retire to her room. Due to her status as prefect, she had her own private quarters. Tiredly she set the baby down on her bed and went to get her arithmancy book. She had jut begun the assigned reading when Joe started to cry. Exasperated, Hermione fumbled with she chips. Food, no, no- that didn't help. Sleep, no nothing. Comfort had no effect either. Hermione picked Joe up, but it didn't help. Finally the cry petered out. Hermione finished the reading and went to change. She pulled off her robes, and got her pajamas out, but then she noticed something in the mirror. Her bra had stains on it. She examined it, and discovered that it was wet. She too off the bra, and looked at her breasts. They seemed larger than normal, and the nipples were swollen. Then everything clicked in our resident genius' mind. She pulled on her pajama top, then walked across the room and picked Joe up. Nervously, hoping she was wrong, she cradled him against her chest, then lifted he shirt. She moved him so his mouth reached her right breast. Joe seemed to know innately what to do. He puckered his mouth, and began to eat.
Hermione got very little sleep that night. Joe woke every few hours, and needed to be fed, or changed. As a result, when morning arrived, Hermione was thoroughly exhausted. She quickly dressed, conjured a carrier for Joe, and, books in one arm, carrier in the other, Hermione hurried down the corridor to Potions. She had barely made it into her seat when Professor Snape stalked in. "Today, we will be brewing Polyjuice, he informed them. Now, who besides Ms. Granger can tell me about the final ingredient? Tentatively Harry raised his hand.
"Potter?" Snape said incredulously, "You have the answer?"
"Erm, a bit of whomever you want to change into." Harry replied.
"Oh, yes, of course the famous boy-who-lived-to-show-off would know, what with that business with Crouch and Moody, you must have picked that up whilst saving all our lives." Snape said, disappointed because he didn't get to humiliate Harry.
"No sir, actually I know that from when we brewed Polyjuice in second year!" Harry sat down, pleased with himself.
Hermione groaned inwardly, Harry had just good as told Snape it was them who stole his ingredients.
"We didn't brew Polyjuice in 2nd year." Snape retorted, coloring angrily.
"Yes we did! Well, Hermione did anyway, then Ron and I used it to sneak into the Slytherin common room disguised as Crabbe and Goyle, and pump Malfoy for information on the Chamber of Secrets!" then Harry seemed to realize what he had just said. "Errr, that is I mean," He stuttered.
"Potter, Granger, Wasely, Malfoy! In my office now! The rest of you are dismissed!!"
A/N2- What do you all think? This was originally posted a few months ago, but I took it down because it needed a rewrite. Also, several people ripped of my idea.ask 1st please! And as always, read and review! You're gonna havta deal with bastard Draco for a while. but eventually he will get a bit nicer..but he'll never be like Harry or Ron- THANK GOD!

Hermione groaned inwardly, Harry had just good as told Snape it was them who stole his ingredients.
"We didn't brew Polyjuice in 2nd year." Snape retorted, coloring angrily.
"Yes we did! Well, Hermione did anyway, then Ron and I used it to sneak into the Slytherin common room disguised as Crabbe and Goyle, and pump Malfoy for information on the Chamber of Secrets!" then Harry seemed to realize what he had just said. "Errr, that is I mean," He stuttered.
"Potter, Granger, Wasely, Malfoy! In my office now! The rest of you are dismissed!!"
