Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter and I never will. Now in answer to a question here, I am working on trying to fill in how Hermione's going to go back to normal but right now I've just made her devilishly evil and you're right it is a side that nobody can picture but that's what makes the plot interesting. You all have the right to not like what I did but please if that's the only thing you can base on when you read the story don't even read my story at all and I've said I have a lot in store for you guys and this is just the beginning so don't spaz out just yet.. I hope you enjoy the fifth chapter you're in for a surprise. Hehe. Ok so please review please!!! Lol. And enjoy.
Hermione was still groaning and pain and she started to hyperventilate. This pregnancy wasn't normal at all and her stomach started to inflate.
"This is what he was talking about…this is what I had to be prepared for…" Hermione muttered as she winced in pain.
Cho sat there amazed and shocked. She never would have thought that the rumours about Hermione and Draco would have been true. As Cho heard her words she didn't understand what she was saying.
"Who was talking about what? What are you going to need to be prepared for?" Cho asked.
Suddenly it was as though it was just an ultimate mood swing gone bad. Hermione still had little sweat pellets going down but the pain seemed to cease and she got up putting her hand on her stomach. In a matter of minutes she seemed to magically return to a calm and pain free state. She seemed content and she became sly.
"My baby…my dear sweet child with Draco. Cho please stay here with me I'll need some help with it. And Draco wouldn't be happy if you left me alone." Hermione said slyly.
"I can't stay here I'm suppose to be in the other room Hermione." Cho said sternly.
"Pity it is really just so you want to get knocked up too one of these days Cho?" Hermione said.
"Shut up Hermione. Harry and I actually have mutual respect for each other. We'd never make a mistake like that." Cho said bitterly as she pointed to Hermione's stomach.
Just then Samantha and Paige popped in to rest but they had both gasped once they saw Hermione's stomach. They couldn't believe their eyes. There was a knock on the door and Cho slowly went to go get it. When she opened it she saw Harry.
"What's going on in there?" Harry asked.
"Listen…" Cho began to say as she got out and closed the door.
"Hermione's having some…problems so Samantha, Paige, and I have to stay with her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself during the night. So I'll be staying here for hopefully just one night."
"Alright…I'll see you in the morning than?" Harry asked.
"Yes you will. I'll miss you." Cho said as she hugged him.
They shared a good night kiss and Cho walked back into her ultimate nightmare and Harry walked back to the extremely big Head Girl and Boy Dormitory room. Cho had expected to only be staying for that one night but she was always needed and this went on for weeks. It was about a week before December 28th, which was Harry and Cho's mark for their second year anniversary. Harry hadn't seen Cho for days in the common rooms, the great hall, or anyway else in Hogwarts. But he knew soon the days would go by and before he knew it December 28th would come along. Harry couldn't help but feel so nervous about his anniversary with Cho. Eventually Harry did see Cho again and she seemed so restless and tired. Soon enough Cho, Samantha, and Paige got ready to tell the boys the horrifying truth. Sitting in the common room Harry and Ron waited for one of them to speak.
"The last couple of weeks has been a nightmare." Paige said as she slopped down.
"Too true Paige. Too true." Samantha said half asleep.
"I'm even more restless. Did you notice she kept on asking me to help her with every other little stupid thing?" Cho said as she hugged Harry after not seeing him anywhere for weeks.
"That's true…she must be going crazy. You didn't even do anything to her." Samantha said.
"Oh I did. The first night I didn't even want to stay there with her and she brought up the head room and Harry." Cho said restlessly.
"Ooh, well that's not right we all know you and Harry wouldn't go and do something like that at least not until you're married." Samantha said winking.
Harry and Cho blushed and Cho bought a pillow to her head. Harry held her close as she rested her head on his chest.
"Thank god our anniversary is next week." Cho said contently.
"Can't wait." Harry said as he kept Cho wrapped in his arms.
"Don't let go ok? I don't want to go back to that damn room." Cho said softly.
"What's been going on with you three in there anyway?" Ron asked.
"News on Hermione." Cho said restlessly as she shut her eyes to get a very bad image out of her mind.
"Devastating news." Paige muttered.
"Kept us on our feet for days for her every whim with those damn mood swings." Samantha said.
"I'm afraid to ask…what's going on with her?" Harry asked.
"She's…well…mmhmmt." Paige said as she stuffed her face in a pillow.
"Was that even english?" Ron asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well she's…nyah Cho you tell them." Samantha said as she got into Ron's arms.
"I'm sleeping leave me alone." Cho said drowsily with her eyes closed and she was still in Harry's arms.
"Would you just come on with it?!" Ron said irritated.
"Alright! Hermione found out she was six weeks pregnant in October." Samantha said.
"WHAT!!" Harry and Ron exclaimed.
Cho got away from Harry and laid down with a pillow in her arms and Samantha fell off the couch and she just stayed on the ground closing her eyes to try and get just a little bit of sleep but it didn't work as Ron got her up again but his anger kept her up.
"She's had us help her with everything and she has nothing to worry about." Paige said.
"What do you mean? Couldn't she somehow hurt the baby?" Harry asked.
"She's already hurt it by having it have Malfoy as a father." Samantha said softly.
"That bloody little git…" Ron said as he clutched his fists together.
"She acts like she'll have a miscarriage if she doesn't get help for everything." Paige said.
"It's not possible. Once a witch is impregnated with life, with her baby's magic she is invincible and nobody can hurt her." Cho said sleepily.
"Where'd you learn that?" Ron asked.
"Some book called The Book of Shadows: Artifacts of Demons, Warlocks, and witches needs." Cho said.
"I know Hermione would never act like this. No matter how many mistakes she made. She was with us to help us out in our 6th year so what's changed?" Paige said.
"That baby is what changed her…right now she believes her destiny is to care for that baby. And since Draco's pretty much an evil little bastard she turned to him and that child. She embraced it. She embraced the evil." Samantha said bitterly.
"Hasn't that happen somewhere before? Like on the telly…a t.v. show I think…Charmed isn't it?" Cho asked.
"Yeah that show. If muggles can interpret that than it must be true." Samantha said.
"Well than you have to remember she did turn not evil again when she reconciled with her sisters. And that happened when she had the hard choice to choose between her love and her sisters. What if we could do that too?" Cho said.
(brief a/n: I just wanna say I like the show charmed so yeah. And for this little convo it's a hint for you guys that I won't keep hermione evil for long and I'm not doing this on purpose. Lol)
As Paige, Samantha, and Cho were having their own little conversation about that, Harry's mind was spinning. Hermione Granger one of his best friends was pregnant with Draco's spawn in her. A baby would be coming into their lives in about 7-8 more months and they couldn't help but think…would there be a baby in the graduation? But as they were in thought an owl soon flew through a dropped a package for Samantha. She untied the string and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Yes! Mum's finally sent me the wedding dress catalog." Samantha said smiling.
"Already picking the dress Samantha?" Paige asked.
"Well my wedding is in January so I just want to be ready." Samantha replied.
"When's the wedding going to be again?" Cho asked as she sat up.
"Erm…January…23rd I think…" Samantha said.
"It's the 14th of January we're getting married Samantha." Ron said rolling his eyes.
"Cho! Paige! Look at all of these dresses! Oh I can't choose!" Samantha exclaimed.
"Come on, before we get into a whole new conversation…my wedding day." Ron said as he grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him off to the Boy's Dormitory.
For the rest of the day Paige, Samantha, and Cho sat in the common room searching for the perfect dress for Samantha.
Days past by and the holidays came near. This year so many people went home and only about 10 people stayed at Hogwarts. To their utter dismay Hermione had gone home with Draco to the Malfoy manor to meet with his parents with to them the wonderful news of a new heir to the Malfoy name. Harry tried not to let it bother him and he succeeded only to think of something else that was bothering him. The only words that was ringing in Harry's head was 'two more days' Two more days and than everything for him would take course. Two more days and his life would change forever, hopefully for the best. In two more days Harry and Cho's second year anniversary would come. Through the days Christmas came by and much merriment came. Presents were being exchanged and as Cho gave Harry his present he felt a pit in his stomach. She looked at him and smiled slightly as they sat on the cough in front of the fire.
"I found pictures around the manor…so I thought a scrapbook would've been nice." Cho said.
"It's beautiful." Harry said as he ran his hands across the leathery top.
"It even has notes, poems, and journal entries. I didn't take the original ones but I had them copied in golden lettering." Cho said as she flipped through the pages.
Near the end there was a picture of Harry and Cho holding hands and laughing. Below it was Lily and Jame's looking towards the camera while smiling and holding each other. Right by the two pictures was a little passage which read: Love beyond its years for young and old. I was once lost and alone until love came and picked me up. My darling love, thank you for saving me. My darling love. ~Lily Potter
Harry smiled slightly as he flipped the pages finding more passages and notes made by his mother. But suddenly he frowned as it made him miss his parents even more. Cho hugged him and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"I know you miss them. But I hope you like it and if I brought any grief back. I'm sorry." Cho said softly.
"You'd never bring me grief. I love my gift, and I love you." Harry said.
He continued to skim through the book and he could see Cho was smiling as she saw him flipping through the book. He gave her a hug.
"I wish I could give you a present just as great as this right now but I want to give your present to you in our anniversary." Harry said.
"That's fine. I can wait." Cho said smiling.
She rested her head on his shoulder again. They looked into the fire and started talking about their anniversary day. They were planning to spend their whole day at Hogsmeade with Ron and Samantha. Those two days had flown by quickly and it was exactly December 28th. Before they had left Harry kept his gift secure in his robes and Samantha had spotted him which from there he had to tell her.
"What's in there Harry? Is it for Cho?" Samantha asked.
Harry looked around and sighed. "Yes it is for Cho." Harry replied.
"Well on with it, what's in there?" Samantha asked.
"If I tell you do you swear not to tell anybody?" Harry asked.
"Yes I swear, just tell me what's in that box!" Samantha replied.
Once Harry had told her Samantha screamed for joy and she almost blew it by telling Cho when she walked in to get them. They all headed down to the entrance and got into a carriage into Hogsmeade. They soon entered The Three Broomsticks and ordered a couple of butterbeers. The sweet taste of it lasted for minutes and they laughed aimlessly as they congratulated each other.
"Here's to Ron and Samantha. May your wedding day be special and may you guys stay together forever." Cho said as she lifted up her glass.
"Cheers to that." Samantha said smiling.
"And, here's to Harry and Cho for a second year of dating with no fights and much love. I hope you guys go farther in the future." Ron said.
"Cheers." Harry said grinning.
They all tapped their glasses and sipped a little bit more of the butterbeer. For the whole day they roamed around Hogsmeade looking at all the sweets in the Sweets Shop. Harry had also even spotted a glass rose that Ron had given to Samantha on Valentines Day in their fifth year. Harry and Cho had enjoyed their day as they got to spend it with their best friends and they were just enjoying each others company. Near the end of the day Ron, Samantha, Harry and Cho wandered off back to the castle and headed for the great hall for dinner. There was only one table and eleven chairs were aligned on the sides. Ron, Samantha, Harry, Cho, Danielle, Dumbledore, Professor Mcgonagal, Fred, George, Hagrid, and sadly Professor Trelawney was there for the feast. The merriment lasted for the whole feast and soon everybody was full and completely content with their surroundings. Professor Trelawney was however still making predictions but no one paid heed to any one of them…except for her last one.
"My inner eye shows me something very special is going to happen tonight…something to two very special people." Professor Trelawney said mystically.
"Well of course something happened it was Harry and Cho's second year anniversary." Ron said.
Professor Mcgonagal and Dumbledore looked at Harry and Cho smiling at them both. It was a fact that in their eyes Harry and Cho were exactly the same way that Lily and James were when they attended Hogwarts. Harry and Cho smiled at everybody as they did a toast for them both on account of their anniversary. Soon everybody else drifted into conversation with each other. Harry and Cho kissed once more so happy for where they were.
"I can't believe it's been two years already." Cho said.
"Two wonderful and glorious years." Harry said grinning.
"I have never felt so happy in my life. Everything was just perfect today." Cho said smiling.
Again they soon got closer. Harry tilted his head as she tilted hers and they shared a very passionate kiss. Once out of the kiss Cho smiled and she sat down on Harry's lap with her arms around his shoulders. And he put his arms around her waist. Everybody else at the table couldn't help but smile at them especially Samantha and Ron because they knew was going to happen.
"I can't help but feel so safe right now in your arms." Cho said softly.
"How so?" Harry asked smiling slightly.
"I don't know…it's just…I feel so safe with you. Right now I feel like nothing will harm me as long as I'm with you. And to tell you the truth, it's the grandest feeling I've had in a long time." Cho replied.
Harry kissed her on the forehead and held her close again. He knew he'd have to give his surprise sooner or later but he just had to make sure he wasn't making a mistake.
"If you could, and this is only hypothetically speaking, could you imagine yourself spending the rest of your life with me?" Harry asked.
Cho looked into his eyes and thought for a moment. Soon enough a smile formed across her lips and she nodded.
"Of course I could. I can definitely imagine myself spending the rest of my life with you, working together, being together all the time, and sharing precious moments with children." Cho said smiling.
Harry smiled and looked at her left hand which had the promise ring on it. This promise ring was given to Cho nearly two years ago on Valentines Day. Cho had vowed to never disregard the ring at any point in time and to that day he knew she wasn't kidding.
"See? I kept the promise that I made two years ago. This ring has never left my finger." Cho said.
"Can you make one more? Brace yourself for another surprise?" Harry asked.
"A surprise? Of course…anything for you." Cho said.
Harry looked into her eyes and he felt his stomach lurch with nearly a million thoughts running through his head. Cho got up and sat down in her own seat and she didn't know what was going on. Harry picked up a spoon and tapped it on his goblet. Everything went silent.
"What's going on?" Cho said softly.
"Everyone…I would like to present a very special gift to my girlfriend of two years. And we're blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives to support us." Harry said.
Everybody sitting at the table smiled and nodded at him. Cho was still left extremely confused. But she smiled and just waited for whatever was going to happen to come.
"Cho…more than anything in the world I want you to be happy. I thank god every day for blessing me with a wonderful gift. Being able to love someone like you." Harry said.
"I'm blessed too." Cho said softly.
She smiled and tears slowly started to form. She was moved by his words. Harry carefully took the small box from his pockets and kept in behind his back. He started to speak again.
"Cho, you have been everything in my life. You have been my strength and the only one I will ever love. So right now I want to present you with your anniversary gift from me." Harry said.
Cho nodded and soon he opened the box carefully and put it in front of her. Everybody around the table gasped and looked at what was contained in the box. It was an engagement ring with light green colored diamonds with white along with it. Cho's eyes grew big.
"Oh my god!" Cho exclaimed as she saw the ring.
"Please think carefully before you say anything." Harry said as he took her hand in his.
"I- oh my god I don't know what to say…" Cho said softly.
Soon those million thoughts came streaming back to Harry again. "What if she says no?" he thought. "What if she doesn't say anything at all?" he thought once more. He took a deep breath and than he began to speak while looking deep into Cho's eye. He soon kneeled down on one knee.
"Cho…it would mean the world to me if you tonight take and accept the honor in answering this question to this gift. Cho Chang, will you tonight make me the happiest man in the world by accepting to marry me and be the next Mrs. Potter?" Harry asked.
Cho looked at the ring. Everybody at the table was in complete shock at this point. Professor Mcgonagal had a handkerchief near her mouth in utter shock. Paige and Danielle's jaws dropped as they saw the ring and what was right in front of them. Ron and Samantha tried to contain themselves from screaming so loud. Cho couldn't believe Harry had proposed to her. Tears were streaming down as she smiled at him. She looked up for a bit and she tried to restrain the tears in. She finally spoke.
"Harry Potter…I would be more than honored to take the privilege now to be your future wife. Yes, I will marry you!" Cho exclaimed laughing a little bit as more tears came.
Harry's stomach lurched back and he felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He stood up, brought Cho up, and hugged her. He swung her up and they kissed once more. Both smiling, Harry took the engagement ring and put it on her finger. She looked at the diamonds gleaming against her eyes and she kissed him again. Everybody at the table stood up and began cheering and applauding. Ron started whistling and the girls started to feel tears in their eyes. As Ron had seen this he decided to make a joke about it.
"THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!" Ron said as he pretended to bawl like a baby.
They all laughed and continued to clap for Harry and Cho. Harry kissed Cho once more so happy that she had accepted.
"Happy Anniversary." Harry said smiling.
Ok yay! Harry and Cho are engaged! Woo hoo! Alright next chapter is gonna be a wedding…not theirs though too early. Lol. And than after this all of the adventure, drama, and suspensefulness begins so review review review!
Hermione was still groaning and pain and she started to hyperventilate. This pregnancy wasn't normal at all and her stomach started to inflate.
"This is what he was talking about…this is what I had to be prepared for…" Hermione muttered as she winced in pain.
Cho sat there amazed and shocked. She never would have thought that the rumours about Hermione and Draco would have been true. As Cho heard her words she didn't understand what she was saying.
"Who was talking about what? What are you going to need to be prepared for?" Cho asked.
Suddenly it was as though it was just an ultimate mood swing gone bad. Hermione still had little sweat pellets going down but the pain seemed to cease and she got up putting her hand on her stomach. In a matter of minutes she seemed to magically return to a calm and pain free state. She seemed content and she became sly.

"I can't stay here I'm suppose to be in the other room Hermione." Cho said sternly.
"Pity it is really just so you want to get knocked up too one of these days Cho?" Hermione said.
"Shut up Hermione. Harry and I actually have mutual respect for each other. We'd never make a mistake like that." Cho said bitterly as she pointed to Hermione's stomach.
Just then Samantha and Paige popped in to rest but they had both gasped once they saw Hermione's stomach. They couldn't believe their eyes. There was a knock on the door and Cho slowly went to go get it. When she opened it she saw Harry.

"Don't let go ok? I don't want to go back to that damn room." Cho said softly.
"What's been going on with you three in there anyway?" Ron asked.
"News on Hermione." Cho said restlessly as she shut her eyes to get a very bad image out of her mind.
"Devastating news." Paige muttered.

"Would you just come on with it?!" Ron said irritated.
"Alright! Hermione found out she was six weeks pregnant in October." Samantha said.
"WHAT!!" Harry and Ron exclaimed.
Cho got away from Harry and laid down with a pillow in her arms and Samantha fell off the couch and she just stayed on the ground closing her eyes to try and get just a little bit of sleep but it didn't work as Ron got her up again but his anger kept her up.

"When's the wedding going to be again?" Cho asked as she sat up.
"Erm…January…23rd I think…" Samantha said.
"It's the 14th of January we're getting married Samantha." Ron said rolling his eyes.
"Cho! Paige! Look at all of these dresses! Oh I can't choose!" Samantha exclaimed.
"Come on, before we get into a whole new conversation…my wedding day." Ron said as he grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him off to the Boy's Dormitory.
For the rest of the day Paige, Samantha, and Cho sat in the common room searching for the perfect dress for Samantha.

Professor Mcgonagal and Dumbledore looked at Harry and Cho smiling at them both. It was a fact that in their eyes Harry and Cho were exactly the same way that Lily and James were when they attended Hogwarts. Harry and Cho smiled at everybody as they did a toast for them both on account of their anniversary. Soon everybody else drifted into conversation with each other. Harry and Cho kissed once more so happy for where they were.
"I can't believe it's been two years already." Cho said.
"Two wonderful and glorious years." Harry said grinning.
"I have never felt so happy in my life. Everything was just perfect today." Cho said smiling.
Again they soon got closer. Harry tilted his head as she tilted hers and they shared a very passionate kiss. Once out of the kiss Cho smiled and she sat down on Harry's lap with her arms around his shoulders. And he put his arms around her waist. Everybody else at the table couldn't help but smile at them especially Samantha and Ron because they knew was going to happen.
"I can't help but feel so safe right now in your arms." Cho said softly.
"How so?" Harry asked smiling slightly.
"I don't know…it's just…I feel so safe with you. Right now I feel like nothing will harm me as long as I'm with you. And to tell you the truth, it's the grandest feeling I've had in a long time." Cho replied.
Harry kissed her on the forehead and held her close again. He knew he'd have to give his surprise sooner or later but he just had to make sure he wasn't making a mistake.
"If you could, and this is only hypothetically speaking, could you imagine yourself spending the rest of your life with me?" Harry asked.
Cho looked into his eyes and thought for a moment. Soon enough a smile formed across her lips and she nodded.
"Of course I could. I can definitely imagine myself spending the rest of my life with you, working together, being together all the time, and sharing precious moments with children." Cho said smiling.
Harry smiled and looked at her left hand which had the promise ring on it. This promise ring was given to Cho nearly two years ago on Valentines Day. Cho had vowed to never disregard the ring at any point in time and to that day he knew she wasn't kidding.
"See? I kept the promise that I made two years ago. This ring has never left my finger." Cho said.
"Can you make one more? Brace yourself for another surprise?" Harry asked.
"A surprise? Of course…anything for you." Cho said.
Harry looked into her eyes and he felt his stomach lurch with nearly a million thoughts running through his head. Cho got up and sat down in her own seat and she didn't know what was going on. Harry picked up a spoon and tapped it on his goblet. Everything went silent.
"What's going on?" Cho said softly.
"Everyone…I would like to present a very special gift to my girlfriend of two years. And we're blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives to support us." Harry said.
Everybody sitting at the table smiled and nodded at him. Cho was still left extremely confused. But she smiled and just waited for whatever was going to happen to come.
"Cho…more than anything in the world I want you to be happy. I thank god every day for blessing me with a wonderful gift. Being able to love someone like you." Harry said.
"I'm blessed too." Cho said softly.
She smiled and tears slowly started to form. She was moved by his words. Harry carefully took the small box from his pockets and kept in behind his back. He started to speak again.
"Cho, you have been everything in my life. You have been my strength and the only one I will ever love. So right now I want to present you with your anniversary gift from me." Harry said.
Cho nodded and soon he opened the box carefully and put it in front of her. Everybody around the table gasped and looked at what was contained in the box. It was an engagement ring with light green colored diamonds with white along with it. Cho's eyes grew big.
"Oh my god!" Cho exclaimed as she saw the ring.
"Please think carefully before you say anything." Harry said as he took her hand in his.
"I- oh my god I don't know what to say…" Cho said softly.
Soon those million thoughts came streaming back to Harry again. "What if she says no?" he thought. "What if she doesn't say anything at all?" he thought once more. He took a deep breath and than he began to speak while looking deep into Cho's eye. He soon kneeled down on one knee.
"Cho…it would mean the world to me if you tonight take and accept the honor in answering this question to this gift. Cho Chang, will you tonight make me the happiest man in the world by accepting to marry me and be the next Mrs. Potter?" Harry asked.
Cho looked at the ring. Everybody at the table was in complete shock at this point. Professor Mcgonagal had a handkerchief near her mouth in utter shock. Paige and Danielle's jaws dropped as they saw the ring and what was right in front of them. Ron and Samantha tried to contain themselves from screaming so loud. Cho couldn't believe Harry had proposed to her. Tears were streaming down as she smiled at him. She looked up for a bit and she tried to restrain the tears in. She finally spoke.
"Harry Potter…I would be more than honored to take the privilege now to be your future wife. Yes, I will marry you!" Cho exclaimed laughing a little bit as more tears came.
Harry's stomach lurched back and he felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He stood up, brought Cho up, and hugged her. He swung her up and they kissed once more. Both smiling, Harry took the engagement ring and put it on her finger. She looked at the diamonds gleaming against her eyes and she kissed him again. Everybody at the table stood up and began cheering and applauding. Ron started whistling and the girls started to feel tears in their eyes. As Ron had seen this he decided to make a joke about it.
"THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!" Ron said as he pretended to bawl like a baby.
They all laughed and continued to clap for Harry and Cho. Harry kissed Cho once more so happy that she had accepted.
"Happy Anniversary." Harry said smiling.
