Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter characters as they belong to JK but I do own the plot any other characters except for the seven goddesses as they are mythical legends.

While I was writing this I realised something. Because in OotP it says that Narcissa and Bellatrix are sisters so that would make Hermione and Draco cousins. But we can't have that so I am making this story as if OotP did not happen apart from the fact everyone knows Voldemort's alive and well. This also means that a certain someone is also alive. Yeah!!

The vote for the father of Mina's baby goes as followed;

Blaise: 8

Seamus: 4

Terry: 0

Justin: 0

Other: 1

Sorry its been so long but I've become obsessed with Palace chat rooms and since I found the Harry Potter palace I have been obsessed with that. I got Sorted in SLYTHERIN on it and got my own dorm!!!
It was a week later that Seamus, Justin, Terry, Blaise and their parents came back to Hogwarts. Mina's mum had come back just as she had told them.

Hermione woke up the morning Minas lover's and parents were coming to bright sunlight pouring in. She had slept in Draco's bed that night with Draco since Mina had taken her own room. She made to move but was held down by someone's arms.

"Where are you going?" He said, not opening his eyes.

"It's the day Blaise, Seamus, Justin and Terry are coming remember? Mina wants me to go for 'emotional support'."

"Why does she want you to go? I mean her mum's going to be there." Draco moaned.

"She wants me to go because as she says 'the support of a sister is much different then a mother.' I just think that she wants an example that she's not the only seventeen year old that got pregnant. As far as Lavender and Parvati told me in their letters, we have been the topic of many party conversations. They also think that we could be almost as famous as Harry by the end of the year." Draco let go of her chuckling.

"Finally." He was about to say something else but Hermione chucked one of plump green pillows at him.

Mina walked down the stairs of Hermione's room to the common room. No one was in the room at that moment and she couldn't here anything from Draco's staircase.

Lying down on Hermione's sofa, she let her self slip into her thoughts. She wasn't intentionally a slut or any of the names she had heard on her walks to lessons through the corridors. Because she was a mermaid she had never had much sexual contact and after having her first experience with Seamus, she began to crave the very feeling of it. The masquerade had provided her with Terry and a different type of feeling though it was the same.

After her transfer to Slytherin and it had become harder to get Seamus and Terry so her craving for contact increased and she became almost unbearable to talk to. She had thought of seducing Draco but she did not want to betray Hermione any more then she already had. So she stopped for second best, which had been Blaise. Even though he was rough, the results were increasingly pleasurable. She still had yearnings for more contact even though she had Blaise, Seamus and Terry. She had first encountered Justin in the library while she was studying the very contact she buried herself in. He had amazed her, as well as surprised, when he gave her the offering of his virginity. She had waited for longer to get his agreement to contact and when they had it had been more pleasurable then with Blaise. It had been slow and time taking but more enjoyable towards the end.

She stared at the wall and tried to stop tears building in her eyes. She was in very deep shit. When her child was born and the father identified, she knew that she wouldn't be trusted and would be suspected by of adultery if she married the father. What was worse was the fact that the boy's parents would also be coming.

That was why she needed Hermione and her mother. Her mum was there to make sure no bad words would come from any parent's mouths and if they did, Sirena had a very bad temper when her daughters were involved. She had insisted on Hermione coming with her to meet her guests because as Hermione had told her she really needed her for moral support as well as to how she wasn't the only one who got pregnant in seventh year.

Moment's later Hermione came down the stairs. She had thrown on a denim black skirt and a baggy blue hoodie. The excess fat from carrying the twins had ceased to disappear so Hermione had settled for walking around the castle and grounds every now and then when she felt like it.

As for Mina she had a pair of blue khakis on and a blue hoodie like Hermione's as well. As Hermione walked out of the common room with Mina to go to the Kitchen's on their way to Dumbledore's office.

After leaving the kitchen's (where the house elves had only been too polite and filled their stomach with lots of food.) they headed to the office where they both knew that Blaise, Terry, Justin and Seamus were waiting for them. Before they reached the stone gargoyle, though, Draco ran up to them. Unfortunately Peeves had left something slimy on the floor, which Draco had noticed so he went straight into it and slipped headfirst into one of the wall.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione asked through giggles. Mina had fell over with laughter and didn't look like she was going to stop any time soon. Draco glared at them as he tried his best to get up. When he finally did (after a very long while) he said,

"I thought I'd come along with you. I don't think if any fights broke out that Dumbledore would be able to break them up, do you?" He smirked.

Hermione shrugged and then went over to get Mina out of seizure of giggles. Her face had turned around slowly her breathing slowed down and the giggles did the same. Draco scowled at her, as she almost had to crawl along the floor to get up.

It took a very long time before the three reached Dumbledore's office and by then Mina's giggles had finally stopped. Dumbledore had told them that he kept the password the same as when Hermione had come up.

"The Seven Goddesses." Hermione said firmly and they watched as the stone gargoyle stepped aside and the revolving stairs started to turn.

They stepped onto it with Mina going first then Hermione then Draco. As it finally stopped at a large mahogany door, Hermione knocked and after a moment Dumbledore beckoned them in.

Hermione and Mina entered first with Draco behind them. Hermione glanced between Mina and the four boys sat in the room. Glares were sent at her from the parents, mainly the one's stood behind Blaise.

Justin sat nearest to Dumbledore's desk in the little circle of chairs that had been placed there. Sat behind him was his parents. His mother had long auburn hair set in long waves down her back and his father had short curly ebony hair. Since they were both muggles his mother wore a short black skirt and a white blouse and leather coat. His father had on a pair of black trousers on and a light blue shirt.

Next to Justin's mother was Terry and his parents. His mother had short blonde hair and she wore light blue robes. His father had short brown hair and he wore a dark blue cloak.

On the other side of Dumbledore's desk sat Seamus and his parents. His father had dark ebony hair and his mother had long reddish hair. According to Seamus his parents were half-and-half, being his father a muggle and his mother a witch. They both looked like muggles though. His mother had a short denim skirt on and a purple tank top with a denim jacket. His father wore a pair of jeans and a light blue shirt.

Furthest away from everyone else sat Blaise and his parents. His parents both had dark brown hair and both wore black robes. His mother was glaring at Mina and Hermione as his father glared in distaste at the only parents and children around him.

The four boys however had been glaring at each other since they had sat down and had only looked up when the door had opened. The boys all watched Mina as she sat down in one of the two chairs that had been set out. Draco settled for standing up next to Hermione as she sat down. The parents muttered to each other and their sons. It looked like they were confused by who was pregnant and who wasn't any more. It only became clear when Draco held Hermione's hand that they realised that Mina was the pink-haired girl.

It seemed that Parvati and Lavender had been right because they all seemed to know the youngest Malfoy and had head about his relationship with Hermione (and probably about the twins as well.)

Dumbledore watched the young parents, adult parents and their son's for awhile before speaking.

"You should all know why you are here. If you do not it is to discuss Miss Mina Mermaid's pregnancy." The adults nodded. It was then that Hermione noticed that Mina's own mother wasn't here. It seemed that Mina had noticed as well because she asked Dumbledore where she was. Luckily though the door opened at that moment.

Sirena walked slowly through the door, smiling at all the men in the room. She had changed her hair to a deep violet colour and she sat down next to Mina, her long legs crossed in front of her. The nine men in the room stared at her, their mouths almost watering. Dumbledore watched the woman in the room trying to get their sons and husbands watch back into focus but didn't have any look. The only one to succeed was Hermione who had to slap Draco very hard on the face.

"Welcome Sirena. We have just begun our discussion so you haven't missed much." Dumbledore greeted her. She nodded and looked questionably at the boys sat in the room.

"Are you not going to introduce me Albus?" She said, her voice sounding almost angelic. Mina's voice would sound more human then her mother's because of her father but if she wanted she could make it either angelic and innocent or seductive and entrancing.

"Oh yes of course. This is Justin Finch-Fletchley and his parents," Justin and his parents nodded, his father still staring at the entrancing mermaid.

"This is Terry Boot and his parents." Nodded.

"Blaise Zabini and his parents." Nodded and glares from his mother.

"And Lastly Seamus Finnigan and his parents." They nodded.

"Now we are here to discuss the subject of Mina's unborn baby's father. For reasons there is no way of knowing the father but we do know that you four are all suspects. After the baby is born in December we can perform an identifying spell on the baby for the biological father. Do any of you have any questions?"

Half way through the speech Dumbledore had given, all the parents had been whispering to each other but Mrs Zabini muttered the loudest even though it went unheard by the entire majority of mortal's in the room.

"What was that Mrs Zabini? I don't think we quite heard you." Sirena asked her. Blaise's mother shot a glare at her before smiling,

"I said 'What a dirty little whore. Just like her mother." Mina glared at Mrs Zabini but her mother stood up. Her hair flared up and her eyes glinted red.

"How dare you judge me or my daughter. That might be a fact about her but who gave you the right to compare her to me."

"Calm down please both of you. This is not helping Miss Mermaid." Sirena glared at Mrs Zabini before sitting down, but Mrs Zabini had other plans.

"Yeah, we can't compare because Sirena is a lot worse then her daughter. After all she did get pregnant with the Dark Lord." Everyone's heads snapped to Mrs Zabini who smirked.

"Oh, did I say too much." Sirena gripped the edge of her chair and watched everyone stare at her. She turned her head to Mina and then back at Mrs Zabini before slapping her hard across her face.

"You have no right either to state comments like that." She screamed.

Hermione watched the scene with worry. She knew that if they knew of Mina's parentage they might know of hers. Especially since Draco had mentioned at one point about that Zabini's being another of the families on Voldemort's inner circle. She watched the rest of the people in the room watching the argument with interest and shock at the things that came out and Dumbledore's feeble attempts at stopping them.

Mina sat next to her, her eyes filling with tears. It seemed that Mrs Zabini and Sirena knew a lot of information about each other and was spilling it out in front of everyone, just to get the better of each other.

Finally Sirena had the last scream and because Mrs Zabini had no other info to shout out she frowned and pulled Blaise and her husband out of their chairs.

"Even if the whore's baby is our son's we will have nothing at all to do with it at all." She stated before storming out of the office door and down the stairs.

Sirena sat back down and crossed her arms, glared holes into the door. The rest of the parents were all in discussion with their partners. Finally Mr Boot spoke.

"We do want be part of the baby's life if it is Terry's. We want to be notified when Mina goes into labour." And with that they left.

"We too want to part of Mina's baby's life if it turns out to be Justin's. We also want to be notified at the time of labour." Said Mrs Finch- Fletchley, before they followed the Boots out.

The Finnigon parents were in deep discussion about it but after they finished Mrs Finnigon said,

"We also want to play a part in the baby's life, but only of course if it turns out to be Seamus's and we also want to be here at the time of labour." And they left.

Hermione looked up at Draco and squeezed his hand, before turning to look at Mina and her mother. Mina sensed her watch so she turned and smiled at her, but her eyes failed to show any source of happiness. Instead they held stifled tears and a sea of darkness.

After a few words with Dumbledore they made their way up to the Head Common room. Sirena walked with them, muttering insults about someone (probably Mrs Zabini) and she looked very angry and able to explode at any given moment.

When they finally reached it Sirena left them. As they entered the common room, Mina walked as fast as she could up Hermione's staircase. Hermione watched her go up and heard the door slam.

"Shouldn't you go after her?" Draco asked. Hermione raised her brow at him, sending a mental message, which read.

'Are you kidding? Did you see her mother's temper up in the office or was you asleep.' Draco shrugged and sat down on his sofa.

Lying down next to him, she let herself fall into a light slumber. Her last thoughts were of Mina and what future they all would hold.
That was long and it took a long time to write as well. Anyway, next chapter the train ride to Malfoy Manor. And people, you keep voting for the Daddy of Mina's baby.

Just because Mrs Zabini doesn't want anything to do with the baby doesn't mean Blaise doesn't so keep that in mind and keep voting.
