Disclaimer: I own nothing here, but hopefully the plot. I have no idea though.

This is set after Harry et al have left Hogwarts. Hermione, Blaise and Draco are now teachers there. I've yet to decide what they're teaching. Total D/Hr fic, you have been warned.

Hermione Granger eyed herself critically in the mirror. Her hand strayed to her stomach and was thankful that she hadn't started to show. Yet.

A knock on the door startled Hermione out of her thoughts. "Herm, we'll be late for the feast if you take any longer in there."

"Won't be a second Blaise." Hermione threw her robes over her clothes and quickly opened the door.

"Finally! We'd better get going, otherwise Dumbledore'll have the banshees after us." Hermione rolled her eyes and groaned at Blaise's comment, who was oblivious to her friend and rambling on about something.

Hermione wished she could just lock herself in the bathroom and not come out for the rest of the year. Unfortunately that wasn't about to happen.

Following Blaise down to the Great Hall gave Hermione a chance to feel eve more dread than she had when she woke up. She did not want to see him like this, especially when the announcement was made.

"Hermione, aren't you nervous about tonight?"

Hermione's thoughts were broken into by Blaise's voice.

"Petrified." Hermione paused, mentally debating with herself, if she should tell Blaise her secret.

"Blaise, I'm pregnant."

Blaise stopped in mid-step. "You're pregnant? Oh my god! Who to? Well duh, of course its Harry! Oh my god! Does he know? He must if you guys are engaged. Oh my god! Congratulations!" She hugged Hermione and let out a small squeal.

"Uh Blaise, promise not to tell anyone, but it's not Harry's."

Blaise's eyes widened in shock, "Oh my god. You cheated on Harry and now you're pregnant? Who with?"

"Please don't make me tell you yet. I just can't, not yet."

Blaise nodded, unsure what to say. "I need to see Harry so I can break off the engagement. It's not fair to him." Hermione continued.

"Um okay. Can I ask a question then?"

Hermione nodded.

"You and Harry got together 2 months ago. When did you find out that you were, you know, with child?"

"A month after that."

"Are you sure it's not his?"

Hermione nodded sadly, "He and I never went that far. He said that he wanted to wait until our wedding night."

"Okay." Blaise nodded and then paused, "Do you want to come to the feast? I can tell everyone that you're not feeling well."

Hermione gave a small smile, "Thanks Blaise. Who knew that you could this nice for a Slytherin?"

Blaise grinned, "I'm not going to dignify that with a response. Now go back to your room and rest. I'll come up after the feast and tell you how it went."

"Thanks Blaise. I'll see you later." With that Hermione turned and walked back to her quarters.

She made it to her room without seeing any of the other teachers, something she was immensely relieved about. Hermione got to her couch and lay down. Grabbing the nearest book on the coffee table, she began to read.

Unfortunately for Hermione, the book happened to be one of Blaise's trashy romance novels that had been left lying around.

"Just what I needed." She looked at it in disgust, but still opened it to the first page and began to read.
