Disclaimer: You all know what I don't own. Who cares what I do. I don't.
And guess what everyone. In this chapter you find out who the father of the
baby is. YAY!
About 2:30 this morning I woke up and immediately wondered where I was. Then I moved around and realized I was in the infirmary. Stupid uncomfortable beds. I had to think to remember why I was there and then I remembered my fight with Harry and then Harry, Ron and Ginny coming to see me and then me getting pissed at Ron.
"I need to go back to my room." I said and started to get up but someone next to me scared me and I almost screamed but a hand came and covered my mouth.
"Don't wake up Pompfrey." Draco's voice said harshly. "Common, we need to talk."
I stood up carefully and pulled my shoes back on. As we started to walk I decided my shoes felt funny.
"Hold on." I said and putting my hand against a cold stone wall. "I put my shoes on the wrong feet."
"Jesus Granger are you're supposed to be the brightest witch of our age."
I knew Draco was rolling his eyes, but I didn't care.
"You'd be pretty out of it too if you slept all damn day." I hissed.
"Probably." He said handing me a big warm cloak.
We walked outside in silence. I have no clue where Filch was while we where walking outside but I personally didn't care as long as he wasn't near by. My stomach had butterflies in it. I've never been out wandering around the castle at 2 in the morning.
"Draco what did you want to talk about?" I asked as soon as we stepped outside the dead castle.
"Who is the father of your baby?" He asked looking at me with a firce look.
"Why does it matter. I..."
"No, listen to me. I need to know. He told..."
"You know already?" I asked loudly.
"Know what?"
"Who my baby's father is." I stated knowing he did.
I knew that god damn person couldn't keep a secret.
"Yes. He told me, he told me to watch after you. Because...who knows why he'd want me to look after you but he did."
"I'm going to owl that bastard. "I turned and headed into the castle, but then I realized something and looked at Draco. "how in the hell would he know?"
"I don't know." Draco shrugged.
"YES YOU DO!" I screamed and grabbed his shoulders. "YOU TELL ME HOW HE KNOWS!"
Tears where streaming down my face and I was shaking Draco until I collapsed on the cold ground where I continued to sob.
"How does he know? How does he know?" I continued to sob.
"Because...because when Poppy told you, you where pregnant I was there. I was under an invisibility cloak. Look Flint owled me and told me to keep a close eye on you, and if anything strange happened to owl him. I don't know why he is so worried about you, but Hermione, I think Marcus really loves you."
I looked at Draco, I could see he was telling the truth. But I knew he saw fury in my through the tears.
"And I supposed Marcus didn't want you telling me this either. It was supposed to be a secret because you Slytherins are so cunning." I stood up and headed back into the castle.
"Hermione don't be like this." Draco chased after me.
"I will be however in the hell I want to be." I said wiping more tears from my face. "Just leave me alone."
I put my hands on a cold wall again to steady myself. I was getting hot and dizzy again.
"Flint is going to hurt you if you don't calm down." Draco said standing next to me like he was going to help.
"I don't care what that blundering idiot will do to me. He has no power over me at all." I sobbed. "I don't know why I was with him in the first place."
"Hermione common, you need to go back to the infirmary." Draco wrapped his hands around my waist to try to help me.
"If you people wouldn't piss me off I wouldn't have to be in the infirmary in the first place." I hissed pushing Draco off me. "I suppose your going to write him and tell him about this."
"I can't." Draco replied looking at me.
"Why?"
"Because he's on his way here."
"You're kidding." I said hopefully.
"No. He owled me and said I wasn't doing a good job and that Dumbledore will let him stay here. And on, and on, and on. Mostly he was very pissed at Harry because he pretty much put you in the infirmary. But..."
But Draco stopped when he heard doors bang twice. We both focused our eyes on the stairs leading out of and into Hogwarts. And before long there was Marcus Flint carrying a trunk.
"I hate you." I told Draco and headed back to the infirmary knowing Marcus saw me.
And as I continued to walk away I heard yelling. Lots, and lots of yelling. Which caused me to smile.
"That's what a Malfoy gets for messing with me." I went back into my corner of the room, slipped off my boots, the cloak and grabbed the bottle of sleeping draught next to me. "Back to sleep for me."
I took another swig of the cold liquid and quickly laid down in bed. Before I could cover up with the plain white sheets I was sound asleep.
When I woke up the next morning I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and then everything that happened last night came flooding back to me. I looked around the empty room and saw no sign of him. I stood up and Poppy rushed out of her office.
"I heard last night, or shall I say this morning was very busy for you." She was glaring at me.
My heart was skipping beats, bloody Flint told. What a rat.
"Not really." I tried to lie.
"Well I have two people saying it was. You're staying here today."
"Madame Pompfrey please don't make me stay in here again today." I whined. "I want to go eat breakfast and go to class. Please, please, please don't make me stay in here again."
"I'm sorry dear. But the father of..."
"He has no power over me and I will not do as he says." I changed from begging to being angry.
"Oh but you will." His voice said.
I looked the direction it came from and it came from the doorway of Poppy's office.
"I'll just let you two speak in private." Poppy pushed Marcus out of her way and shut her door.
"You can't boss me around." I growled. "I won't listen, and you know it. I'm not some little thing you can boss around like Malfoy."
Marcus chuckled, "he was doing a return favor for me. He owed me. And Hermione you need your rest if you're going to get worked up."
"The only reason I get worked up is because prats like you won't leave me alone." I said not taking my eyes off his.
"I don't think one of your best friends is a prat." Marcus stated while wrapping his arms around me. "Now just calm down."
"Don't you tell me what to do. Don't you listen?" I asked pulling away.
"Apparently not." He smiled.
I turned away from him and went to my bed. Where I pulled my tie on, my robe, my boots and tucked in my shirt.
"I'm going to breakfast. I expect you should be telling Dumbledore you're here. Or you did that last night. But knowing you, you didn't want to make the headmaster mad. So you better get going." I said and walked past him.
But I didn't get to far seems that he grabbed my wrist.
"Don't I even get a hi."
"You didn't greet me like that." I said calmly.
He smiled and pulled me to him. Then he kissed me. Damn it, I don't know why I like him, or why he makes me go weak in the knees. But he does, oh baby he does.
"Sorry I upset you." Marcus apologized putting his hands in my hair.
"You better be." I smiled in a teasing way.
"All I was doing is trying to make sure you didn't get really upset. You know."
"Marcus." I said. "I know. Don't worry about it. Now I'm going to breakfast. Talk to you later."
I turned away from him again and left the infirmary and got to the great hall just as Harry, Ron and Ginny where arriving there.
"Morning guys." I smiled.
"Morning." The three replied.
They all had bags under their eyes. I suspected they where up all night talking about Arthur.
"Oh Mione the funeral's in two days. The wake is tonight." Ron told me. "Dumbledore is going to let us leave for a couple of days. Ginny and I longer than you two of course."
"Of course." I replied and sat back down on the hard wooden benches.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Dumbledore started.
He was going to announce that Marcus was here. Oh no.
"PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO HOGWARTS MR. MARCUS FLINT!"
There was an uproar from the Slytherin table.
"Why in the bloody hell is he back?" Ron asked.
I shrugged and pretended to be just as shocked as everyone else.
After supper Dumbledore told Harry, Ron, Ginny and I that we could pack and get ready to leave. Before I could go up to my common room though Marcus had to talk to me.
"Can we talk tonight?" He asked holding my hands gently and rubbing each hand with his thumbs.
I shook my head, "not tonight."
"Why?"
"Because I'm leaving tonight for Arthur Weasley's wake and funeral tomorrow."
"When are you going to get back." He asked.
Marcus sounded like a two year old. He was whining, that's really cute from a Slytherin. I have to tell you that.
"I don't know Marcus." I said in an exasperated tone.
"When did Draco tell you he knew that I was the father?" Marcus asked putting a hand on my stomach.
"Last night. Right before you got here. And let me tell you..."
"Don't start." Marcus interrupted me. "Don't even start."
"I will start if I want too."
"Not if you'll get upset you won't. Don't you listen to Poppy. You can't get angry, or stressed out. It's bad for you and our baby."
I glared at Marcus.
"You're mood swings have come awful early though." He said softly. "I wonder why."
"I'm going to pack. I'll owl you later." I said and before I walked away Marcus stopped me again.
"You can't leave me without giving me a kiss."
I stomped my foot but gave him a quick kiss.
"Talk to you later." I said and walked away.
Before he got his teeth fixed I wouldn't have even kissed him. But now that they don't look gross, he is a very handsome person. When I got to the fat lady I gave her the password and rushed to my dorm to pack and I was done before Harry, Ron and Ginny. After we where finished we went to Dumbledore's office and we used floo powder to get to the Weasley's.
That's the end for that chapter. I hope everyone is happy now that they know who the dad is. And I know y'all are probably going why in the hell Marcus Flint? Because it is a pairing you don't hear a lot of and I thought it would be pretty interesting. And at first it was going to be one of the Weasley twins. But I changed it. Thanks for everyone reviewing. Love ya all. Thanks.
