Severus spent a grief filled night, pacing in the hospital wing, waiting for Hermione to wake. He had things to discuss. Snape didn't understand what went wrong; where everything became so fucked up. Lucius Malfoy, Severus' best friend since his first year at Hogwarts, got Hermione pregnant. It sounded ridiculous in his mind, let alone out loud.
Lucius was a Death Eater, but had never shown interest in the muggle born Gryffindor. When they met, she stood strong and resisted his taunts and jeers. This made Severus smile. Hermione was so strong and he loved her for it. She kept secrets from him and it hurt.
He wondered how he never noticed she was pregnant. He thought of spells, and when asking Madame Pomfrey, she told him indeed, a spell was what she used. She used a masking spell to hide the effects. Hermione was probably never going to tell him. Severus cursed loudly at this and Hermione moaned softly. Severus jumped up and ran to her bed.
"Hermione!"
"Sev? Is that you?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes." He looked at her and then placed an arm around her back to help her to a sitting position.
"What happened? Where – when did you..." Hermione looked at him when he asked this, tears in her eyes.
"Oh God, I'm sorry!" Hermione threw her arms around her and started to sob uncontrollably.
"Shh..." Severus looked at her, forgetting any anger he may have had.
"He... it just happened so long ago. I wanted to forget it. I'm sorry!" she looked at him and frowned. "Do you still love me?"
"Yes. Of course I do! It's not your fault that he did this to you!" Severus glared at no one in particular and Hermione started to cry again.
"Yes. Yes, it is," she said.
"What do you mean, Hermione? He raped you!"
"No he didn't...." she said quietly. Severus went into a shock.
"You mean?" he started, unconsciously releasing her and standing up.
"Yes."
"Professor! We have returned," said Harry, dropping the port key he and Draco shared on the ground.
"Good," Albus replied. "I need to talk to you both. Mr. Malfoy most importantly."
Both boys exchanged worried looks, nodded their heads and sat down.
"Firstly, how did the trial go?" the old man asked.
"They were convicted and thrown in Azkaban. They'll be out in a few weeks and then they wile be sent to a Muggle juvenile center, their wands held, until they serve out the rest of their term," Draco answered.
"Very well." The Headmaster looked at the boys before continuing. "We found out some important things concerning Ms. Granger."
"Really?" Harry asked, tensing up.
"Yes." Albus breathed in deeply. "She is five months pregnant."
"But...?"
"And no, it wasn't the boys or Severus." Draco looked confused but then his eyes widened. Looking at Dumbledore, Draco asked silently with his mind if his suspicion was true. Albus nodded and Draco tensed horribly. Harry looked around, very confused.
"What?!"
"M-my f-father got her pregnant." Draco cringed and Harry grabbed Draco's arm, Harry's grip tight and his face pale.
"Oh Merlin."
Ron was waiting in the Gryffindor common room for Harry to return. He knew Harry returned an hour ago, but he still hadn't arrived. Then the portrait burst open, Harry and Draco came rushing in as if they were in a hurry. Their faces were pale and their eyes in shock.
"What is it?" Ron asked worried. "Did they not get in trouble?"
"No!" Harry yelled, he grabbed Ginny's hand while Draco grabbed Ron's (to his disapproval). "The hospital wing. Hermione. Now!"
"Oh Gods," Ron and Ginny paled, and all hand in hand, they ran to the hospital wing, not even sparing breath for talking. They were outside the entrance when they heard urgent talking, and sounds of crying could be heard muffled. Draco stopped suddenly.
"Before we go in, there is something you two need to know." Ron and Ginny nodded their heads.
"Okay. Well, I don't want to tell you, but I can't put Harry through it."
"Well, what is it?" Ginny shrieked.
"Hermione is five months pregnant," Draco said sorrowfully. Ginny paled and Orn just stood there, angry.
"Yeah! By your father!" Ron said harshly. Harry noticed that Draco was getting the blame so he cut in.
"It's not Draco's bloody fault!"
"Since when have you been friends?" Ron interrogated rudely, and Ginny elbowed him hard in the ribs. Ron made a muffled noise.
"Since we realized we have stuff in common!" Harry yelled back. "I am bloody sick of this anti-Slytherin attitude everyone has! If you weren't stubborn, maybe Hermione wouldn't have been raped by those Slytherin seventh years. Maybe we would get along!"
Ron snorted and then looked ashamed.
"Fine!" he looked at the floor. "Let's just go in to talk to Hermione, okay."
"Okay," Harry said, nodding at Draco to tell him it was okay.
They walked into the room and where just about to announce their presence when Hermione shouted, "I slept with Malfoy in Diagon Alley! That's why I didn't tell you! I knew you would hate me!"
A/N: Please review if you like. Sorry if it sounds to Harry/Dracoish. Didn't do it on purpose, just a subconscious thing. They aren't together due to earlier post. I could change that if you all wished but I may just leave it be.
