Chapter Eight: Tick Tock Till Death

"Twins? Twins… Amy are you bloody serious?" cried Ginny her eyes wide.

"The potion is the best, Ginny. It never lies," said Amy calmly, "Calm down. Have you been having all the symptoms?"

"Well yes. My period is three weeks late."

Amy sighed, "Book an appointment to see Doctor Orton. She will be able to confirm it for you."

Ginny nodded, "Now I have to inform Blaise. That will be fun."

"He will be happy. I know he wants kids Ginny and no doubt he will want them with you."

Ginny smiled and hugged Amy, "Thankyou so much. I'd better go."

"Any time. See you later."

Ginny smiled and left with a crack. Amy cleaned up the products used and headed back to the kitchen to finish preparing that nights dinner.

!Z!

Hermione and Draco walked into the Three Broomsticks loving the warmth that crept into their skin. The breeze outside was chilly. Draco led them to a table and went to order two drinks. Hermione sighed and looked around. She spotted a few people she recognized and smiled at them.

"Hermione?"

Hermione looked up and saw Clara and Percy smiling at her, "Percy… Carla. How are you both?"

"We are doing good and yourself?"

"Fine. Err join us won't you?"

"Us?" asked Carla, "I see nobody with you."

"Draco has gone to get two drinks."

Percy and Carla sat down. Hermione watched as Percy slipped his arm around Carla, who smiled at him lovingly.

Hermione felt sick in her stomach.

"So how has your day been?" asked Percy.

"Good and yours?"

"We have been searching for things for our wedding," informed Carla smiling, "I saw the most wonderful dress. Perhaps one day you and I could go see it together?"

Hermione smiled, what she hoped was a real smile, "Yes… a girls day out. You, Amy, Ginny, myself and perhaps Lynette as well."

Carla beamed, "How wonderful would that be? Don't you agree Percy?"

"It would be wonderful. Hello Draco."

Hermione looked up and was relieved to see Draco. She saw Draco discreetly glance at Carla before smiling at Percy.

"Hey Percy and Carla. Nice to see you both. Here Mione. I got you a hot chocolate."

Hermione took it and took a sip. Rosemerta always made the best hot chocolates. She felt Draco slip his arm around her shoulders protectively.

"We were just discussing a girls day out," said Carla smiling, "Maybe you guys could have a day out as well."

"That sounds fun," nodded Percy.

"Oh! It would be! Us girls could go and pick out dresses for the wedding. Hermione, you know muggle stores that have wedding dresses don't you?"

Hermione smiled. Carla wasn't that odd at all. She seemed like a decent person.

"If they are still around I do."

Draco looked at his watch, "Look at the time. Hermione, Amy and Gavin are probably wondering where you are. It was great seeing you two again."

Both Hermione and Draco stood up, polite smiles on there faces.

"I shall owl you about that day, Hermione?" asked Carla.

Hermione nodded, "Yes. Bye."

Before Percy or Carla could reply Hermione Draco hurried towards the door, only to nearly collide with Terri.

!Z!

Ginny placed the glass on the bench and rapped her fingernails on the bench starring out the window. She took in the view of the tops of houses and the dusk sky with a few stars showing. Ginny sighed and walked to the fridge. She opened it and pulled out lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, capsicum, cheese and salad dressing – Italian. She started chopping things up and tossing them into a glass bowl. After making the salad she cooked some fish.

As dinner finished being cooked, Ginny set the table, thinking in a few years the table would be getting set for four.

As Ginny placed the salt and pepper shakers on the table a crack rang out from the lounge room.

"I'm home!"

"In the kitchen," replied Ginny, noticing her voice quaver.

The kitchen door swung open and Blaise walked in.

"Hello sweetie," he murmured kissing her on the cheek, "What's for dinner?"

"Fish and salad. I err… have something to tell you," said Ginny nervously turning to face Blaise.

Blaise frowned, "What is it?"

"I think we should sit down before I tell you," said Ginny holding his hand and leading him out of the kitchen and into the lounge room.

They both sat on the two-seater lounge. Blaise looked at Ginny expectantly who inhaled a nervous breath.

"Ginny, what is it?" asked Blaise.

"Blaise… we are going to be parents," said Ginny nervously, "I'm pregnant."

Blaise's eyes widened, "Ginny… that wonderful! I'm going to be a daddy?"

"To twins."

"Twins? That's even better!"

Ginny smiled, "So you are okay with it?"

"Okay with it? Ginny I'm completely over the moon about it!"

Ginny smiled, with happy tears as Blaise hugged her.

"I've never been so happy in ages, Gin! You and me are going to be parents!"

Ginny chuckled as Blaise kissed her happily all over the face.

!Z!

"Terri," said Draco coldly, "What a surprise."

Terri smiled coldly at Draco and glared at Hermione. Terri noticed as Draco pulled Hermione closer to him.

"So the happy couple is back together," snarled Terri, "Didn't take you long to get back in his pants."

Hermione glared at Terri angrily, "Whatever Terri. No one really cares about your pathetic grudges. Don't start stressing, it will only cause you to get wrinkles."

Terri placed a hand on her hip and tapped her foot as if waiting for something.

Draco rolled his eyes and pushed past her, holding Hermione's hand, leading her out behind him. Terri glared at their backs before turning and storming into the bar. She walked to the bar and sat on a stool. She called for Rosemerta and ordered the strongest shot of drink available.

"Bitch isn't she?" came a cold evil voice in her head, "That Hermione Granger stole your man… I told you all about her… use the information. Bring her down!"

"I will," muttered Terri, "I will bring Hermione Granger down."

!Z!

Hermione walked into the kitchen and breathed in a wonderful aroma – baking veggies and cooking roast pork. Draco was at his home, even though Hermione begged him to have dinner with her, Amy and Gavin, but he declined saying he had work to do.

"Gee Amy," said Hermione noticing her sister-in-law slicing the meat, "Why didn't you become a chef?"

Amy looked up at Hermione and smiled, "I rarely cook meals like this. But I'd been craving for a roast dinner for a while. How was the doctor's appointment with Lynette?"

"Good," lied Hermione, "I went out with Draco afterwards. We met up with Carla and Percy and had a drink before coming home. Where is Gavin?"

"Shower. Oh and I have news for you."

"What?"

"Ginny is pregnant with twins."

Hermione's eye widened, "Really? Oh that is wonderful!"

Amy smiled and nodded.

"Hello, hello. Two pretty ladies, in my house," joked Gavin entering the kitchen.

"Yet we get stuck with your ugly mug," teased Hermione smiling at her brother.

Gavin smiled back at his sister before waving his wand to set the table.

Amy levitated the full plates to the table and all three sat down and began eating.

"Actually I have to talk to you two about something," said Hermione cutting her slice of roast.

Amy and Gavin looked at her expectantly, both chewing.

"Draco has asked me to move in with him."

Gavin swallowed the food in his mouth, "Really? That's wonderful."

"It's a big step too," said Amy, "I moved in here with Gavin after eight months of dating."

"Well I have been with Draco a long time, not counting the four years and the year we didn't see each other," replied Hermione, "And I do want to live with him."

Gavin and Amy nodded and both smiled.

"Than do it. Remember we are always an apperation away if you need us," said Gavin.

Hermione smiled happily, "I know. How was work?"

!Z!

Hermione signed off from work the next day and ran to the workers elevator. She pressed the button to go to the Potions Making Lab. The elevator whizzed to the floor and Hermione waited for the doors to open. But they didn't. With a sigh Hermione pulled her wand out.

"Alohormora!"

Still the door didn't open. Hermione tried every door-unlocking spell she could think of, but none worked.

"Bloody hell!" snapped Hermione kicking the door, "Stupid thing. Open!"

Hermione pressed the door opening button and number of times but it still wouldn't work.

"Great. Just great. I'm stuck in an elevator. A magical one at that," said Hermione sarcastically before sitting on the ground.

Suddenly the elevator gave a giant shudder. Hermione stood up, looking at the ceiling. The elevator began shaking violently, knocking Hermione around. Hermione fell to the ground, shaken as the doors open to reveal words written on the wall across from the elevator.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING SOON YOU'LL BE DIEING!

Hermione shakily stood up and walked out of the elevator. Her eyes focused on the words. Her legs felt wobbly and her heart was pounding. She knew who tried to kill her. Only one name was in her mind. Clarissa.

"Hermione!"

Hermione turned and looked to see Lorraine running over to her.

"Lorraine… someone… the elevator… tried to kill me," said Hermione in shock, "The writing."

Lorraine looked at the wall and reached out to Hermione and gently led her away to the Potions Lab.

!Z!

Draco threw in a pinch of monkey hair and stirred it clockwise five times. He sighed and wrinkled his nose at the foul smell, which changed into a rose scent.

"Draco!" came Lorraine's voice, "Hermione is here. She was attacked!"

Draco yanked off his gloves and pulled his apron off, throwing them on his stool and ran to the front of the shop. Hermione was sitting on the ground shaking.

"Hermione?" said Draco kneeling down in front of her, "Baby what is wrong?"

"She tried to kill me Draco," whispered Hermione, "On the wall… she wrote something on the wall."

Draco stood up, "Lorraine… give her some calming potion. I'll be right back."

Draco leant back down and held Hermione by the shoulders making her look at him, "I will be right back okay."

Hermione nodded and Draco stood and ran out of the lab. He turned up the corridor, around the corridor and stopped when he saw the writing. He read the eight words and ran a hand through his hair. He turned and looked at the elevator. Something more happened. More than those words shook Hermione up.

Draco sighed and ran back to the Lab. This was not going to happen now; no harm would come to Hermione, not when he just got her back.

!Z!

Terri walked past the water fountain and over to the bench. She sat down and looked around.

"Did you do it?"

Terri jumped and looked at the blonde girl in front of her.

"I did. She was shaken greatly and saw the message you wanted left for her," replied Terri, "But how is that going to break those two up? Draco will merely protect her more."

"Thing logically you stupid girl! Ellawise will want to leave her precious Draco because she won't want to put him in danger."

Terri's face lit up into a happy smile, "Good. So you get what you want and so do I."

Clarissa nodded, "Exactly. Now you just have to make sure Ellawise doesn't suspect I'm -"

"I have to go Clarissa. I have a photo shoot. Take care and I'll see you another day. Ta-ta."

Clarissa rolled her eyes and closed herself of transform herself into her fake form.

"Now… I have a dinner date," smirked Clarissa, "Much planning to do."

!Z!

Hermione stood up from the ground feeling much more calmer thanks to Lorraine's calming potion. He dusted her robe off, before taking it off and fixing her skirt.

"Thanks Lorraine," smiled Hermione.

Lorraine smiled, "No problem love. How have you been?"

"Pretty good."

"Hermione!" came Draco's breathless voice, "What happened? I saw the words."

Hermione took a deep breath and explained about the whole elevator incident. By the time she finished Draco and Lorraine were silent in shock.

"Who did it?" asked Lorraine.

Hermione and Draco looked at each other not knowing whether to tell Lorraine or not.

"Clarissa," said Hermione softly.

"What? I thought she was dead!" cried Lorraine.

Hermione shook her head, "She disappeared just before everything went black."

"Who knows about this?" asked Lorraine.

"Only you and Albus," answered Draco, "But please don't tell anyone."

Lorraine nodded, "I won't tell a soul. Thank Merlin Alan and Ivan are at Hogwarts. Least they are safe."

Hermione nodded than looked at Draco, "About the whole moving in with you thing."

"Yeah," said Draco as Lorraine walked over to her office.

"I want to move in with you."

"You sure?"

Hermione nodded smiling, "So I'll go home and pack now and…"

"I'll come by at six to get you."

Hermione nodded and kissed Draco bye before leaving, a smile on her face that not even Clarissa could remove.

!Z!

Ginny and Blaise closed their eyes and apperated to The Burrow. Ginny sighed and opened the front door allowing her and Blaise in.

"Hello! Mum!" called Ginny, "Dad! Percy! Anybody!"

"Maybe no one is home," said Blaise.

"Ginny! Blaise!" came Mrs Weasley bustling into the room and giving them each a hug, "I'm in the kitchen cooking some mince pies."

Ginny and Blaise followed Mrs Weasley in, saying hi to Percy and Carla who were reading something together.

"What brings you two here?" asked Mrs Weasley looking at them.

"We have something to tell you," said Ginny clutching Blaise's hand, "I'm pregnant with twins."

"OH GINNY!" cried Mrs Weasley dropping the wooden spoon she'd been holding and running around the table to her daughter and future son-in-law, "That is wonderful! Oh my, Blaise! Wonderful, wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! I'm going to be a Grandma! To twins!"

Ginny smiled happily as her mother kept hugging her and Blaise.

"This is better than finding out you were going to Hogwarts, better than finding out you were prefect and Head girl! Oh my! I'll have to start knitting you some baby clothes. Twins? Oh my!"

A/N: Well Mrs Weasley is over the moon, as is Blaise.
