Kristen: Just to let you guys know Harmony Sunsinger helped me on this chapter and probably the rest of them to come. So if they seem a little weird then that's why, but we have some wonderful plans to come. Here's your new chapter.

Chapter 16

I awoke the next morning wrapped in Draco's arms. I lay there for a while until I realized I had to pee, and there was now way could get there without waking Draco or falling since my leg was numb from the medicine.
"Draco?" I said, nudging him. "Draco, I need to use the bathroom. Will you please help me in there?"
"Huh, yea sure." he said, but never moved.
"Draco, you sorta have to move. You know get up." I said while rolling away, sitting up and laughing at the same time. He still didn't do anything. That's it I thought time for a pillow fight. I grapped the pillow behind me, which his head was on, and started hitting him with it.
"What the hell do you think you're doing woman?" I just bust out laughing.
"Well you wouldn't wake up and I have to pee. So I need your help to get there. DUH!!"
So Draco helped me up and into the bathroom, so I could pee. He stayed in there while I did, because I couldn't reach the toilet paper.
"You know, I'm not exactly comfortable with sitting here, pissing in the can right in front of you." I told him.
He grinned. He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest, watching me. "Is it the half-naked part or the human bodily function part that bothers you so much?"
"Both, actually." He handed me some toilet paper, and I... well... finished up.
Then Draco helped me up, and I started to reach down for my pajama pants, but he stopped me. "Don't do that just yet," he whispered, putting his hand on my cheeks. Slowly, he leaned in for a kiss, and it was a long passionate one. I could feel the fire of my lust begin to course through my bones as I pressed my body up against his.

Draco and I left our dorm at nine in the morning. We walked, smiling and laughing, down the hall, holding hands. We ran into Harry and Ron.
"Watch it, Potter! Weasley!" Draco yelled. His strong, commanding voice echoed off the walls. He was holding on to me tight, as if frightened to let go. "You almost knocked Marie down!"
"Sorry, Draco, Marie."
I blinked. A part of my (a very small part, mind you) missed being Hermione Granger. It missed being Ron and Harry's best friend; it missed being a Griffindor; it missed being all the professor's favorite. But I was Marie Lee now; I had to get over all the years I spent wasting my life as "Hermione Granger."
Soon, though, I wouldn't be Hermione Granger or Marie Lee.
I'd be Marie Malfoy.
I glared at the two boys. "Yea, Potter," I snapped. "You actually got my name right. And you do need to stay out of my way. Same to you, Weasley." And, still holding Draco's hand tight, we both walked on past them, net even thinking about looking back.
"Marie, that was amazing how you just snapped at them like that!" Draco was practically gushing.
I ignored him. For some unknown reason, I felt rotten inside. I felt horrible. I felt like the worst thing that had ever decided to crawl on the face of the earth.
But I had to get over it. Ron, Harry, and I weren't friends anymore; we'd never be friends again.

A month later, Jess and I were sitting in the common room, alone, talking about wedding plans. Then Jess brought up an extremely unexpected subject.
"So..." she began, "have you and Draco..."
I stared at her. "Jess!"
"What?" she asked, shrugging. " I just want to know."
"Well..." I could feel my face start to turn red.
"Oh my God, you have!" she practicually shrieked. "Did you use protection?"
"Huh?" I was drawing a blank.
"You didn't, did you?" Jess asked. "Well, what if you're pregnant? Have you had your period since then?"
"Well, no." I answered, my voice barely a whisper. Did this mean I was going to have a baby?
"There's only one way to fing out," she said, slowly pulling a box from her bag. It was a muggle pregnancy test. "Now, go in the bathroom really quick, before the guys get back, and just read the directions." She shoved me in the direction of the bathroom. "Go for it, girl!"
So I went in the bathroom. I went in the cup, and I squeesed some... well, into the pipette or dropper or whatever. I squezzed two drops onto where the test told me to and flushed the rest all down the toilet.
And then I waited. I waited as patiently as I could. Then, after two minutes had passed, I checked the test with the box.
I couldn't help but do a doube-take.
"Jess!" I yelled.
She came running. "Oh my God!" she shrieked. "You're pregnant! You and Draco are going to have a baby!"
I couldn't believe it. I was going to be a mother.
"So, when did it happen? At the Halloween ball a mont ago? You and Draco did drink a lot of punch that night, and you know how Shane and Blaise absolutely love spiking the punch. They're almost as bad as those Weasley twins, Fred and Georfe, that were here all those years ago."
I blinked. Quite a few memories flooded through my ming right then. I flashed back on the Halloween Ball; Draco and I hadn't gotten drunk. We'd danced a lot that night, and we were so tired we turned in earlier thatn usual. And Jess was right; after out littly "love-session" in the bathroom the morning before, we felt as if it was okay to... well... for lack of a better phrase, do it again.
And Jess had hit it right on the money.
"You know me way too well." I muttered, pushing past her. "It's creepy how-" I stopped, staring into Draco's big, gray eyes.
"Marie," he murmured, staring right into my eyes. I heard Jess gasp right behing me.
"Marie, are you really pregnant?" he asked. I looked past him. Shane and Blaise were standing there, right behind Draco.
Slowly and reluctantly, I nodded. "Yea, I am." And he did something very unexpected. He grabbed me up in a huge hug, and he buried his face in my shoulder and cried. Whether his tears were joyful or unhappy, I didn't know right then... but I knew as soon as he looked up at me. Draco was smiling as he cried.
"Marie, I love you so much." he whispered. "I love you, and I will definitely love our unborn child."
I blinked, staring at him. "You're not upset that we're having a baby?"
Draco gave me a look. "Of course not, Marie, baby! I am so happy!" We stood there, hugging each other, forgetting all about Jess, Shane, and Blaise. All we thought about as we stood there, holding each other, us and our baby.
