Over With

Hermione woke up with a huge headache. "I have to stop blacking out." She mumbled as she sat up rubbing her temples.

"Miss Granger, you're up." Madam Pomfrey said with a sad look on her face. "Dear, I have something that I must tell you."

Karen looked around and noticed Draco was lying on the bed next to her. "Is it about Draco?" She asked worried.

"No Dear. Draco will be fine. I t is about your baby." She said her voice becoming a whisper.

"No. . ." She whispered to nobody. She knew exactly what Madam Pomfrey was going to say.

"I'm sorry, but you have lost the baby." She said giving her a sorry look.

"No. . ." She said as she placed her head in her hands.

Just then, Draco started to stir. "I will leave you two to talk." Madam Pomfrey said and left them alone.

Hermione didn't say anything. Draco decided to talk first. "Before you say anything. I want to tell you why I went after Lucius. I knew that when he found out about you being pregnant, he would try and kill you. I love you, I love the baby, and I couldn't let that happen. And I wanted to tell you that I will always take care of you and the baby. . . "He said but Hermione cut him off.

"Draco. The baby. . ." She said as tears escaped her eyes. "dead."

"W-what?" He stuttered.

"The baby is dead. When I found out that, you were going to try and kill Lucius I went to try and stop you and Ron came with me. I had a vision where you were at and when I found you Lucius put me under the Cruico and that was enough to kill the baby." She said quietly avoiding his eyes.

"I'm going to kill him." He said angrily as he tried to get up.

"No Draco. You can't." She said grabbing his arm.

"What do you mean I can't? That bitch murdered my unborn child. I am not going to sit back and let him live." He hollered at her.

"You can't because he is already dead." She yelled back. "I'm sorry."

"Why would you be sorry-" Then he realized it. She killed him. "I-I have to go." He said and ran out of the Hospital Wing for the second time.

Madam Pomfrey came in just as Draco left. "Is he alright?" She asked worried.

"I'm not sure." She replied. "When can I go back to my dormitory?"

"Tomorrow." She said. "I'll notify Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley for you to come see you if you wish?"

"Yes, please." She said.

"Of course. Try and get some rest." She said and walked out of the Hospital Wing.

Hermione tried to sleep but she couldn't. She kept picturing her baby, the one she was suppose to love and have. The one that Lucius killed. She knew she wouldn't get in trouble for killing him because he was a Deatheater. She was happy that she killed him. She was happy that he was dead. Then Hermione felt a strong sharp pain on her arm. She realized it the Dark Mark. She hadn't been called for a meeting in a while and wondered why he wished to have one now.

Hermione got out of bed and headed out of the castle. Surprisingly, she didn't run into anyone. As soon as she got off of the castle grounds, the apparated into Malfoy Manor. There were already some Deatheaters there but the Dark Lord was nowhere to be seen. Hermione was relieved and started to look for Draco. When she finally spotted him, the Dark Lord appeared and she had to join the circle and bow.

"Miss Granger." He commanded.

Hermione got up and walked up to the Dark Lord. She bowed and he motioned for her to get up and she did. "Yes my Lord." She purred.

"As I understand it, you have killed one of my best Deatheaters, Lucius Malfoy. Is this correct?" He said sternly.

"Yes, My Lord." She said scared. "But let me explain."

"Don't. I know why. He was planning on killing you. But that does not give you a reason to murder another Deatheater." He said. He raised his wand. "Cruico." After a minute, he lowered his wand. "Now, next time come to me first." With that, he apparated.

All of the other Deatheaters except Professor Snape and Draco apparated also. Hermione was still on her knees from being put under the Cruico. She was confused. She was sure that he would kill her for killing another Deatheater.

Professor Snape helped her up. "I suggest you notify Dumbledore next time, instead of taking in your own hands. And I am very proud of you, but don't make a habit of it." He said sternly and apparated himself.

Draco made to speak but Hermione held her hand up. She wasn't going to take Draco abandoning her anymore. She was tired of it. "Save it. We're over." She said and apparated out of Malfoy Mansion, leaving a very confused Draco alone.
