Chapter 3
Drowning and Tears
Using all the strength she had, Hermione just got back to her room before she burst into loud rattling sobs. She loved Draco, she had always loved Draco, but hearing those words escape his mouth hurt her more than even Harry had.
"Why did I have to fuck up every relationship that ever meant anything?" She asked herself out loud.
Hermione lay on her bed silently crying for ten minutes until she realized that she was being stupid. She knew that she couldn't win Draco back with one visit. She decided she needed to get something normal back into her life. So to the Headmaster's office she went for a second time that day.
.........................
Sitting behind his desk, he stared thoughtfully at the girl and her request. She sat there with the determined face he knew so well. She would not leave his office until she got what she came for (excluding Draco that is).
"Professor McGonagall has been wanting to go on a trip around the world for many years now. Could you please go and tell her that she should start packing..." He said. The twinkle in his eye looking like a diamond.
So with a huge smile on her face she went to tell the professor about the news. She liked the ring of her new title 'Professor Hermione Granger, teacher of Transfiguration'
........................
After having a very good conversation with Minerva, Hermione took all the notes and textbooks she was given to her room. After it was all organized she decided to go to lunch in the Great Hall.
It was just as magnificent as she remembered it. Walking up to the head table she saw that there was an extra seat. She knew it was for her because as she walked up the table she saw all the staff smile at her. All accept two. Severus Snape, who looked at her with his trademark sneer, and Draco Malfoy. Who didn't look once at her.
She got to her seat to see that the whole student body was looking at her in surprise. The first to sixth years stared knowing who she was but not why she was here. The seventh years on the other hand were shocked to see her pregnant, not shocked to see her.
She looked to her left and saw Draco a few seats down.
*I should write and apologize for barging in on him this morning* She thought.
.............................
Lunch was excellent, as usual, and very satisfying. Hermione decided that she would be sitting in on the seventh year transfiguration class that afternoon. Minerva had suggested she come a few minutes earlier because she had a free period.
So with fifteen minutes before the next lesson Hermione left for her soon- to-be classroom.
"Thank-you for coming early Hermione. I thought it might be beneficial for you and the class if you met them today." Minerva stated in a business like tone.
"I actually bought some parchment to take notes on the students so I can know where each of them are in their studies." Hermione laughed inwardly at her schoolgirl self returning.
"I should have known you would think of that." She said with a smile. Just then the bell rang, and two minutes later the seventh years began drifting into the classroom. This class was composed of Gryffindor's and Slytherin's. The Gryffindors smiled at her, remembering her quirky little habits from their first year (Hermione's last).
By the end of the lesson she found that there were a few boys and girls from different houses smiling and laughing together. That made her smile, but as usual there was one Slytherin that seemed to hate her. She found out that that girl was the younger sister of Pansy Parkinson. This girl, Erin Parkinson, had always wanted Pansy to marry Draco, but Hermione ruined her plans.
*Whoops* Hermione thought with a smile.
...........................
Hermione sat on her bed listening to the swing and jazz of Benny Goodman on her enchanted stereo system. She had started looking through 'The Teachers Guide to Teaching Transfiguration', when she just couldn't concentrate anymore.
She thought of the one thing that had been bothering her for the last few days, baby names. She didn't want to know the sex of the baby because it was like knowing what you were getting for Christmas. She wanted the surprise. So she began writing a list... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boys Names: Girls Names: Julian Julia Matthew Rebecca Paul Nicole Daniel Jessica Godric Rowena Jacob Jennifer Louis Lucinda Jonathan Sal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just as she began writing the name Sally, there was a timid knock at her door. Getting up she opened the door and saw Draco standing there. His face was hard. Like he was scared of what would happen if he let his emotions show.
She stepped back to let him in when she realized that she was wearing her daggy pajamas that showed of her belly.
"Let me just get something on." And she turned to go to her room.
"It is quite alright professor, I don't mind." He said looking her straight in the eye before turning away quickly. Hermione was the only person that could read him like an open book, just by looking at his eyes. He didn't want her to read him yet.
Looking away he saw the list of baby names and scanned over it. Looking up at her with a surprised look he said...
"Godric? You were seriously thinking of naming my son Godric?"
Author's Note: A big thank-you to all my reviewers!!!!!!! I hope you like it. I got lots of inspiration and wrote it in about 45minutes. I think that may be a record for me. LOL (
