"Can I help you Professor?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore would like to speak to you tomorrow night before dinner" she said simply.

So the next day Hermone made her way to his office the wondering what he could want. Once she was standing outside his office doorway she paused not sure if she wanted to go in, because regardless of what he wanted she had a feeling it was about the baby. But as she opened the door she found not Dumbledor, but Draco.

"What are you doing here?" she asked instantly.

"Glad to see you too." He said sarcastically.

Then before Hermione could say anything the door opened and Dumbledor came out with a smile.

"I'm glad to see you both could make it," He said sitting at his desk and gesturing for them to do the same as he pointed to two elegant carved wooden chairs on the other side. Hermione was surprised when Draco helped her sit down offering her his arm. When she gave him a look he just grinned.

"Until my son is out you are to take all precautions"

"How do you know it's a boy?" Hermione said getting fussy as he sat beside her.

"Be cause he is to carry out my name and family estate" and turning to Dumbledor continued", What exactally are we doing here?"

Dumbledor smiled "It's very important you two get around to this".

Hermione and Draco exchanged glances. He wasn't really going to tell them off for their behaviors was he?

"I had hoped you two would get around to this with out my intervention but it seems I will need to. Have either of you put any thought to what you will be doing about the new situation when the baby arrives?"

"No sir" they both answered quietly in unison.

"But what do we need to talk about" Draco asked

"Well Mr. Malfoy you two will both need to continue your education and as head boy and girl I will not accept either of you to drop out"

"So" Draco said simply

"So who's dorm will the baby stay in, who will take care of it, how will you take care of it, if you trade off the responsibility how will you work that, what will you name it, once you leave who will the baby leave with, are you ready to work together to raise a child for the rest of your lives, have you put any thought into improving your relationship to at least friendship status for the baby's sake, is Hermione ready to go through the emotional and physical stress of giving birth, does she want you there to comfort her when she does, do YOU want to be there when she does, where will she stay for her pregnancy leave or does she want to go through it here, and there's so much more you need to think about and plan for."

Draco and Hermione sat stunned. She felt like the weight of the world had just been dropped on her. She couldn't believe she had put no thought to any of this and she could tell when she looked at Draco that he hadn't either.

"I will not pressure you any more, but it's just something I think you should start thinking about."

"Well" Hermione said as they walked down the hall together in silence after leaving Dumbledor's office.

"Well, what?" Draco replied not even turning to look at her.

"Well, when should figure all this out, cause Dumbledor's right we need to get around to that" she said.

"Fine, but not right now it's dinner and besides we'll get around to it."

he answered as he walked in the great hall.

Somehow Hermione had a feeling that if left up to Draco they wouldn't.

What Hermione needed was to talk to someone who knew him well, but all the Slytherins were so immature and probably wouldn't talk to her let alone tell the truth or take her seriously. So whom could she talk to?
