March 4th

Hermione was starting her fifth month and now the whole school knew.She was finally allowed off bedrest as long as she didn't over stress herself.Not to many people gave her much greif about her being pregnant, but some seemed very happy, and excited for her. Her parents weren't to happy at first but after much talk with Draco and Hermione they mellowed out as much as they could. Just like Draco told them "There is a little girl growing inside of your daughter who is going to make her presence known this summer, and you both are just gonna have to deal."

Hermione was starting to show but just barely.Madame Pompfry said it was probably because the baby is going to be very small.

Harry still hadn't told Hermione about his dream.He only told Blaise,Ron, and Draco, and they were doing everything they could to keep Hermione and the baby safe without her knowing about it. Harry didn't want her to stress over it, he didn't want anything to happen to the baby.

Hermione was sitting in the library reading a book on delivery, and what to expect when Ginny came burting through the doors.

"Ginny, what in the..."

"Come down to the Great Hall quick !"Ginny said.

"Why? What's happened?"Hermione said standing up, and following ginny out of the doors and down to the Great hall.

"It's terrible. Wait till you see."

They reached the doors and Ginny pushed Hermione through.

"SURPRISE !"

Hermione put her hands up to her mouth as she saw students from all house gathered in the great hall, and a banner hanging infront of the teachers table that said

"IT's A GIRL !''

"Thank you. Everyone."Hermione said as she kissed Draco on the lips and her brother on the cheek.

Harry brought her the first gift "This is for both of you since I didn't know what to buy an expectant mother or a baby girl.

Hermione openned the gift and smiled as she pulled out a braclet that said "Worlds best friend and mother" and then she pulled out a baby braclet that said "Baby Girl" on it.

Hermione hugged Harry tight "I love it. Thank you."

Draco and Blaise pulled a big gift over to her.

"This is from the four of us."Draco said

Hermione pullde the cover off it to show a white crib with little pink ruffled blankets and stuffed animals in it.

"It's so beautiful. I love it."

"And heres something from all the girls in Gryffindor."Ginny said as she and Lavender brought two big baskets over to her.They were filled with little girly dresses and toys, bottles, and diapers.

"I know we don't get along with you or anyone in Gryffindor for that matter, but here'ssomething from some of us Slytherins."Pansy said shocking Hermione and everyone else in the Great Hall.

Hermione openned it and was completly shocked. Inside was a port-a-crib decked out in pink stars, and a baby swing that said 'A little hope goes a long way' across it.

Hermione smiled "I just thought of what her name should be."

Everyone listened intently.

"Miracle Hope Zambini Malfoy. Because it's a Miracle we're all getting a long right now which took some Hope from a Zambini and a Malfoy."

"I think it's a beautiful name."Blaise said hugging his sister

"Maybe she's the miracle the school was looking for when it came to house unity."Draco said smiling.

After openning up more gifts Hermione was thoughly exhausted and decided to go to bed early.

The guys gathered in the Gryffindor common room.

"Have we found anything out about Voldemort's plan or when he's going to attack?"Ron asked.

"No. Dumbledore can't seem to come up with anything."Harry said.

"He's probably gonna attack when she goes into labor. What better way to steal a baby then when it's born."Blaise said.

"No. They'll take her to have the baby there. I just know it, and then they'll kill her."Draco said."She's too powerful to keep alive.The baby will be just as powerful and in their hands that'll be their advantage."

"We should try to talk Hermione into going to Grimauld Place till after we defeat Voldemort.She'll be safe there."Harry said but then countered "Of course it's written that she helps defeat him so that won't work."

"We gotta figure something out."Draco said getting frustrated.

"We will."Blaise said determined.

Hermione heard everything when she wanted to get a drink, and she couldn't believe her ears.They kept everything from her.She placed a hand on her stomach and took a deep breath before returning to her room.

"I must have that child !"Voldemort hissed causing the castle to shake along with some of his Death Eaters.

"The child isn't dur for a while now Master. We will have a plan by then."Peter said bowing at his Master's feet.

"I will kill that girl, and then her child will be theend of the light."

"Master."Lucius said walking through the doors. "I think I may have a plan. I just have to get to my son in order for it to work."

"Due tell Lucius."

Lucius smiled and started to tell his plan in detail."

Hermione awoke early that day so she could be early for her appointment with Madame Pompfry.She was walking down the hall when draco caught up with her.

"What are you doing up so early?"She asked.

"Hey I care about you and the baby, and I'm gonna be there at every appointment till the day she dies."

"Draco, really."Hermione said with a smile.

"Well maybe not that long but you know what I mean. I don't want to miss anything."

Hermione nodded and they walked hand in hand to the hospital wing.

"Well Hermione your progressing nicely. Your baby is a little small, but she's healthy so theres no need for alarm.The only thing is I was checking everything and the placenta isn't where it should be. That just means your gonna have to have this child through a c-section instead of normally."Madame Pompfry said.

"What happens if I have her normally.?"Hermione asked wanting to know everything.

"Well because of where your placenta is lying if you were to go into labor and have her normally you could bleed out, and die, but also the baby could die from loss of blood.We'll scedule your c-section at next months appointment, and then if you go into labor before your c-section we'll just have to do an emergency c-section and get the baby out quick.You'll be fine and you'll be closely monitored now. Don't worry your in good hands."

"I know. I'll try not to worry."

"Madame will she and the baby be okay with the c-section?"Draco asked before he and Hermione left.

"Yes Mr.Malfoy. Your daughter will be fine and so will Miss Zambini."

They decided to take a walk outside and sit by the lake so they could talk about this together, and get their feelings out.Either way you looked at it, all they could do was worry about the baby, and Hermione no matter how much the nurse could sugar coat things. This was a bad situation.

Ginny, and Hermione were putting the baby's things away later on that evening when Ginny asked a question that Hermione had been ignoring for sometime.

"Hey Mione are you and Draco gonna get married now?"

"I don't know. I don't want to marry just for the baby. I know he loves me, and that she deserves us both but I would feel like I'm making him marry me, and I'm not."

"I understand that. You both should only get married if it's what you truly want.You'll both love her either way."

"I guess though with the way things are we'll be staying with my parents till I get a job. Mom said she'd keep the baby while I'm at school, and Dumbledore said I could floo home every evening to care for her. Draco can visit when he wants, and then we'll just take things as they come."

"Why not bring the baby to school with you?"

"Because I don't want to be a burden. My mom thinks it'll be better this way, and well at least I know she's being looked after properly while I'm in class."

Ginny nodded in understandment.

"Well Lucius we'll put your plan into work at the end of june. Grab her at home when shes vulnerable, with those muggles."Voldemort said smiling his nasty smile.

"Do you think she'll come willingly?"Peter asked.

"Who cares. She'll come either way or I'll kill her, and her daughter at the same time."Lucius said.

"Don't forget I need this child. She must live only to deliver and then you can kill her."

"Yes Master."Lucius said bowing slightly.

"Leave, and make the arrangments."

Lucius left along with Peter.
