hi guys

I got a few words for you, reviewers ok;

purebloodprince: i think that Hermione being pregnant does suck, and would TOTALLY ruin my story, 'cause i ABSOLUTELY hate it, when girls get pregnant on these fics, but unfortunately, this has to happen, and you have to guess who the father is, though i PROMISE that if you finish reading the 2 more chapters that are left, you won't be disappointed, 'cause i'm not holding out the pregnancy too long, PLEASE don't get disappointed and just finish reading it, you'll know what i mean, so don't totally hate me for what i've done ok! LOVE YA! keep reviewing!

prncssktty13: sorry about the cliff hanger, but what else would make you read? i LOVE draco being evil in this story, though i have one coming where he's pretty nice, i guess. but he will always be a little draconian (harsh) in all stories, u know what i mean, just watch out for it when it comes out, LOTS OF LOVE FOR REVIEWING, keep coming!

Megan: i LOVE YOU and i NEVER get tired of your raving, i like long reviews, so THANK YOU! and keep them coming, i am SO posting a new one after this one, though i don't know which one yet, PLEASE HELP ME! this is what i got...pick one; (ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE!...i need your help!)...none have names yet either, and i think they're better than i make them sound...i mean you guys read my summary...it's not great...

1.)harry and crew are in skool, muggle way, in New York...don't know what made me write this, but it's pretty kool.

2.)not many people go for the Lucius and Hermione fics, but i think Lucius, in the movies is pretty cute...so that's my inspiration, i know, i know, some of you guys are retching right now, but that couple isn't as bad as i used to think!...wow...a 17 year old in love with Lucius, so i guess Hermione will too!

3.)cho is trying to get harry back, but in this fic, Draco's nice, even if it is in his own way, and wants Hermione with him, as well as Harry, so the plot is cho and Draco conspiring to do something...

4.)Hermione invites harry for the summer and he celebrates his 17th b-day there. they sorta fall in love, i guess u can say, H/Hr fic...though I'm warning you guys this one is very HARD to think of, like the events that come up and stuff! so it's not my favorite one!

Chapter 16: Unbelievable

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Yes?" Hermione answered back to the Medi-Witch. She thought nothing of the 'results,' as nothing could be worse than what had already happened. Harry was standing next to Hermione and also stopped to see what the 'results' Pomfrey was talking about were. If it was something bad, he didn't think he could stand anything worse.

"Hermione, do you wish for Harry to stay with you?" Asked the nurse. Hermione nodded promptly.

"Well, apart from everything that was proper for the examination...I also took a sample of blood." Madam Pomfrey hesitated before going on. "And...well it's confirmed that...you're with child, Hermione.

"What! She did not just say that Hermione is pregnant? Hermione could not believe it, she was about ready to faint. And it didn't help her that all of a sudden a wave of insurmountable pressure filled her body. The shocking news that came to her made her feel like she was 50 feet underwater.

Harry was frozen. This could not possibly be happening and what if it's Malfoy's child? How would Hermione feel?

"Mam, are...are you...sure?" Hermione asked thoroughly afraid of the answer. The expression on her face was the total expected one.

Madam Pomfrey nodded her head...

"But...how can this be?"

"It's positive. And I'm afraid we'll have to inform the Headmaster." Said Madam Pomfrey, definitely regretting to be the bearer of bad news. "Do you wish me be the one to tell the Headmaster Hermione, or do you think it better to tell him yourself?" Hermione pondered this question with what was left of her brain energy. She looked at Harry half wishing he would blurt out the answer for her.

"Mam, could you please inform him yourself tonight...Tell him we'll go see him after lunch tomorrow...for now, I'd...like to rest... " Madam Pomfrey nodded her head in return.

Harry and Hermione left to their common room and Harry held Hermione very close to him, he didn't know what they would do if it was true that the child Hermione was expecting was actually in fact Draco's. This thought occurred to Hermione seconds after Madam Pomfrey had given her the news.

Oh how she longed and wished that it wasn't Malfoy, but Harry, who was the father of her child...Please let it be Harry's, she desperately thought to herself.

She had a very restless night of sleep. Nightmares from that horrible night filled her sleep along with more nightmares of what would happen if the child was Draco's...Would Harry ever look at her again? She didn't want to think of what would happen. She fully wished that it had all been a mistake, and that she wasn't pregnant. Or better yet that she would wake up to realize that she was still sleeping in Harry's arms, and it was still the night of the Grand Ball.

The next day she and Harry were supposed to talk to Dumbledore, but Hermione definitely did not want to. The Headmaster would probably feel angry, though not show it. Now her friends knew and she didn't want to see any of them.

As the morning grew into a brilliant pink and yellow, Harry came knocking at her door.

"Can I come in?" Hermione got up and opened the door. Harry clearly saw in her appearance that she hadn't slept too much, and it hurt him that she suffered so much pain. "Hermione, would you like Dobby to send us some food from the kitchens, or would you rather go down to breakfast?" Harry asked cautiously.

"Er...could you please send Dobby...I don't really want to go down to the Great Hall..." Harry nodded and left, he was starting to feel apprehensive about this all over again. At least it felt like more pressure now. Maybe it hadn't sunk in yet, he was still in shock, until this morning.

Hermione went back bed. She had been resting for the past three days and she still felt restless. Hermione wished over and over again that this baby wasn't Malfoy's. Oh, please don't let it be!

When Harry came back he told Hermione to come down and eat with him. It was a very uneventful lunch because none of them wanted to talk much. There had been interruptions a couple of times from their friends, who wanted to know if they were ok. But they respected Harry and Hermione's wishes of being left alone.

After they ate Hermione was being told by Harry that she should of ate more, but the last thing Hermione wanted was to eat. She had way more important things in her head.

A half an hour later the both of them made their way to Dumbledore's office. Harry said the password that he had heard Dumbledore say a few days ago. When the spiral staircase was revealed, Harry knocked on the oak door. He heard Dumbledore say "come in" and he turned the well polished door knob.

"Sit please." Said Dumbledore calmly. Hermione could not look up at the Headmaster. Harry led them in and sat down, coaxing Hermione to do the same.

Harry looked at Hermione to see if she would say something. Then not knowing what to say he looked up at Dumbledore, who gave him a faint grin.

"Well. I know why you're both here." Dumbledore's voice came as a relief to both teenagers in front of him.

"Hermione I know you're with child...And that the baby is Draco's–." The mention of his name sent shivers down her back before she cut in.

"No. I..." she trailed off whispering. She didn't want to say that there was a possibility that Harry could also be the father.

"Professor...the baby could also...be mine..." Said Harry thoroughly embarrassed at speaking out that Hermione and him had been together. Not that he regretted it. He would be the happiest man in the world if the baby turned out to be his.

When Harry looked to see Dumbledore's reaction, he saw that a small look of relief had spread through out his face.

Dumbledore gave him a little nod.

"Professor, I just remembered that Malfoy said that Voldemort was back...is that true?" Hermione suddenly asked as the memory of it came back to her...Harry remembered the look on Voldemort's face before he died and it made the hair on his neck stand on end.

"Yes. He was back. But you hadn't need to worry about him anymore Hermione...He is gone and won't ever come back again. He has been defeated." Dumbledore looked at Harry, (who was looking down at his knees,) for a tiny second, before looking back at Hermione. Hermione understood immediately what had occurred, and didn't ask any further questions about Voldemort. Instead she asked about Malfoy's whereabouts.

"He has joined his father in Azkaban, along with the rest of the five Death Eaters we caught. All are there for life." Came Dumbledore's reply.

Hermione did not know how to feel about that. Sirius had once escaped. Malfoy could do that too and seek revenge on all of them. And her.

As if reading Hermione's thoughts Dumbledore added, "Hermione do not worry, you will be completely safe." Harry took her hand and held it reassuringly. Hermione felt like taking a long walk outside, search the sky for all the answers she needed.

"Hermione, do not feel guilty for what happened, it was not your fault at all. And I want you both to know that the only people who know about your state are Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, your friends, and Madam Pomfrey, who will be examining your pregnancy regularly." Informed Dumbledore. Hermione nor Harry asked why Snape had to know, but they supposed he had his reasons. And they did not question it.

"Professor what will happen when the school sees that I'm pregnant?" Asked Hermione in a small voice.

"Well I'm not sure they will know. See it's March 23 and school is over in June. You will only be a few months along and I'm no expert, but I don't believe it will show by then. Unless of course Harry is the father...When exactly were the two of you together?" They all felt a bit uncomfortable talking about this, but needed to drop all pretenses and just get things settled.

Harry and Hermione blushed a bit, but Harry went on. "It was in the day of the last Hogsmeade trip. One month ago...And the night of the Ball." Again Dumbledore gave them a small nod.

"Either way, Hermione, your true months of showing will be in the Summer, and next year you will not be at school any longer." Hermione was grateful for his words.

"Professor, when can I go back to my lessons?" Hermione asked.

Dumbledore looked at her with a small smile for a second before answering. "You may proceed at the beginning of next week if you wish." Hermione nodded. "I would like for you and Harry to rest and talk about what you want to do. Take this week off. I will inform your teachers, you are excused from classes for now."

"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore." Said Hermione, thoroughly grateful for his kindness.

"Don't thank me, Hermione. You are a brave and true Gryffindor, as are you Harry." Dumbledore said, his eyes beaming and twinkling. "You're both very brave souls for going through this." Harry nodded and smiled in response. He was very thankful for the way he was treating Hermione at the moment.

"Thank you Professor," Harry said.

With their spirits now feeling much higher they got up. Dumbledore also stood. Harry and Hermione started towards the great oak door.

With a hand on the door knob, Hermione looked back at Dumbledore and watched him for a second before she smiled and ran to the other side of the desk and hugged him around the middle while smiling a broad smile on his chest. Harry couldn't suppress broad smile himself.

"Ah...Let's see. I think that our Head Boy and Head Girl deserve 300 points each for the powerfully brave deeds they have accomplished." Hermione squeezed him tighter, and beamed at him when she let go. Dumbledore had no problem showing their students a relaxing smile. He chuckled a bit once he was free of Hermione's hold.
