Last Time: Hermione walked out of the room and into the hallway. She did not see Draco so she disapparated to her apartment. Once again she stripped off her clothes in the living room and sat on her couch in her undergarments. If only she had known why Draco told her to wait after the meeting.
Draco searched the room after the meeting was over and could not find Hermione. Fear settled deep inside his heart as her remembered the Death Eater meeting. As he remembered his father's promise. He glanced at his watch and disapparated as quickly as he could. He had to get to Hermione before his father. He had to stop his father before she got hurt. He would never forgive himself if Hermione was harmed in any way.
Now:
Draco landed on his behind in Hermione's bathroom. "Damn!" He cursed. "So much for apparation tests." He tried to laugh to himself but he knew that Hermione was in grave danger. He got up and dusted himself off and then proceeded to yank the bathroom door open. Quietly, he walked down the hallway and entered Hermione's bedroom. His heart began racing and his blood pumping fast. "Where is she?" he whispered to himself.
He rounded the corner and peeked into the living room. Hermione was sitting on the couch and reading in her panties and her bra. He felt aroused but quickly discarded the feeling as he remembered the meeting again. "Hermione!" He said as he entered the room. "We have to go! Now!" Hermione got up and stared at Draco evilly.
"And, why pre tell, would I want to go with you?"
"Because, if you do not, then my father will be here to finish something that he started earlier. I did not ask him about it and I do not want to hear about it! I just want you to come with me now before he gets here. Because, if he does get here and the both of us are still here then he will fulfill his promise and whatever it is he will make me watch. Now will you just come on?"
Hermione stood up and walked around Draco, heading towards her bedroom.
"No! We have no time for that! Here!" Draco took off his robes and threw them at her. Hermione put them on and stood by his side.
"Let's go!"
"Now Hermione I want you to apparate to my apartment in the U.S. I know but I had to get as far away from my father as I could. He should not be able to find you there considering that he informed us today that he stopped the surveillance on you."
Hermione looked up at Draco and smiled through her tears. "I love you so much Draco!"
Draco smiled down at her and hugged her to his chest. "I love you too, Hermione! I will not let anything or anyone hurt you! You are my life! You are my shining star, I would die if you ever left me or was harmed but for now we have to go!"
Draco gave Hermione's shoulder one last tug and disapparated to his apartment. Hermione arrived there a few seconds after. She ran to him and hugged him tight.
"He arrived just as I was leaving!" she mumbled into his shirt. "I was so scared!"
"I know, Hermione!" he whispered soothingly into her ear as he was stroking her hair. "I know!" He wiped his eyes before Hermione looked up at him. Draco lowered his head so that his lips lightly brushed hers. He then pushed his lips against hers to make the kiss more passionate.
He picked her up and sat down with her on his couch. "Hermione, you are going to have to get some new clothes and well a new look. If my father ever sees you he will do something drastic. I love you so much and if anything ever happened to you I don't know what I would do. I need you in my life. And I will not rest until this war is over and you are on my arm and in my bed every night as my wife." He placed his index finger under Hermione's chin and lifted her face so that their eyes met. "Do you understand that?" Hermione nodded her head because at that moment Draco scared her and her voice had failed her. She knew that he was serious and that he would go on a rampage if something did end up happening to her. He would kill everyone that was in his way and if it happened to be his father then so be it.
Draco smiled to her and nodded to the closed door. "You better get some sleep. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." He then proceeded to kiss her forehead and smooth back her hair. "Good night, my love."
Meanwhile…Lucius threw a wooden chair at the painting of his son on the Mudblood bitch's wall. How dare she besmirch the name Malfoy? How dare she not be home when he planned to rape and then kill her? How did the Mudblood have so much audacity to defy Lucius Malfoy?
"Arrrrggggghhhh! What the fuck! How did she know?"
"Avada Kedrava!" Lucius roared and pointed his wand at the wall where his son's face had been. The spell blew a hole in the wall and chunks of plaster landed on his neatly pressed robes.

Hermione awoke to the smells of Hogwarts breakfast but the only difference was that she was sleeping in a bed made up with satin sheets. Draco's satin sheets. She buried her face into the pillow that he had slept on the night before and inhaled deeply. Hermione wanted to catch every last bit of his scent so that she could remember him if something ever did happen to them. She knew that she was being foolish but she did not care. All she wanted was to be with him for the rest of her life but some how she knew that that might not happen.
Hermione rolled onto her back and opened her eyes. She felt magnificent, wonderful, and extraordinary.
"Good morning, love!" Hermione jumped at the sound of Draco's voice. She was used to it by now but when it just came out of nowhere she was terrified of it. Especially since, his father was out to get her head. She smiled up at him and batted her eyelashes.
"Morning," she mumbled rubbing her eyes. "Where's the bathroom?" she asked him already getting out of bed.
"It's down the hall to your left. We have to talk later. I think that there are some things that you need to know that I have disclosed from you." He smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "I love you!" Draco then turned around and left the room closing the door behind him. Hermione went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she came out of the steaming hot stream of water she found a pair of red sweatpants and a white wife beater on the toilet seat waiting for her body to be placed inside them. Hermione picked up the sweatpants and looked at them. She had never seen this type of sweatpants before. They had many pockets on the sides and when she put them on they were so baggy that she felt like she could place another person inside them.
Knock knock…Hermione pulled on the clothes quickly and pulled open the door. She smiled at Draco with the sweatpants falling off of her body.
"You do know that there is a piece of string that acts like a belt that you can tie to make them stay on?" He smiled up at her because she was being so innocent.
"Umm…no, I did not know that! I'm sorry! I feel so dense right now!"
"Hermione you're rambling again." Draco pulled her into his arms and kissed her lightly.
He then led her into a part of the apartment that she had not yet seen. She guessed that it was the dining room and the kitchen all in one because behind the table was a stove and a sink. She smiled knowing that he must have not yet turned on any of those things because he had no idea how to. She sat down at the table and placed her hands on her stomach.
"You hungry, love?" she smiled and nodded to him. "Fine then, a huge stack of pancakes coming up."
Hermione smiled knowing that whatever she asked for he would get her. She knew where she stood with him. She knew that they would be together no matter what happened.
"All right Hermione, we have to talk. I know that I have left you a couple of times in the middle of the night and I know that that wasn't the right or even the best thing to do but it had to be done for your safety. The last time that we were together I did not make it home by my curfew and my father found out where I was. I was trying my hardest to protect you and the baby that I got caught up in loving you and forgot all about my curfew. I have no idea what happened between the two of you and I don't know how my father found you or how he acted when he found but all I know is that you are okay no and that he planned to finish whatever it was that he started last night.
"I want you to be careful and I want you to travel with people around you at all times. No excuses. I will not rest until I finish this war. And I hate to be fighting on both sides but for the most part on the side of the Dark. I know that that must hurt you knowing that the man that you love is wearing a dark mark and a Death Eater mask every time he goes to one of those meetings. But you have to know that I do not want to.
"Now Hermione, how many months along are you?" He finished and he was still looking her in the eyes.
"I am three months along, Draco! I don't know if I can continue with this pregnancy if you are not by my side. I feel so alone every time I go to the Doctors. All those married women look at me like I am filth. Please don't make me do this by myself."
Draco got up and walked around the table and knelt beside her. He placed the back of his hand on her cheek and smiled.
"I am here for you Hermione. Whenever you need me. But, you do have to realize that I am a Death Eater and for those times that I do not answer to your call that is where I am and I will be with you at the next possible moment."
Hermione nodded and began to eat her pancakes again.
"What are we going to name her?" Draco asked after five minutes of silence and watching Hermione eat.
"I don't know actually. I kept thinking that if I don't name her then she isn't real and things could go back to the way they used to be. I still haven't told my parents. I mean if they knew that I got pregnant out of wedlock they'd kill me." Hermione said without breathing once.
"Don't worry about that Hermione! Just makes plans to meet them and I will come along and I will purpose in front of them and then as soon as you feel ready you can tell them that you are pregnant. Sound good?"
"Sounds fine!"

"Well! It is nice to finally catch up with you Hermione!"
Hermione screamed when she heard that voice; it was the same voice that told her to abort her child.
"Please come to me Hermione! I will not hurt you."
"Hermione run!" Hermione disapparated to the only place she thought that she would be safe. The Burrow.
Hermione ran up to the door and knocked loudly. Ron opened the door.
"Bloody Hell Hermione! What happened to you?"
Hermione fainted into Ron's arms.
