May 12th

Hermione was walking down to the great hall to meet Harry, and Ron when she felt the most exhillerating feeling she would ever feel...The baby kicked for the first time.

Harry and Ron came out into the hall to see Hermione holding her stomach and ran over to her.

"Mione are you okay?"Ron asked.

Hermione looked up with a smile on her face. "She kicked."

Harry placed a hand on her stomach "Can I feel."

Hermione nodded and put her hand over Harry's after a few seconds the baby kicked again.

"Awesome."He said with a smile.

"Are we still going for a walk outside?"Ron asked.

Hermione nodded and they both led her outside.

"I can't believe I'm gonna be a mom in a couple months."Hermione said as they walked around the lake.

"We can't either. I guess we never thought that in the future we would have separate lives."Ron said."I guess we are growing up."

"Maybe sooner than we were suppose to."Hermione said rubbing her belly. "But everything happens for a reason."

"Hey where are Blaise and Draco?They never let you out of their sight."Harry joked.

"Oh they went to Hogsmeade with Dumbledore for some reason they wouldn't say."

Harry and Ron gave each other a look and smiled at each other.

Draco, Blaise, and Dumbledore walked into a shop in Hogsmeade and browsed the glass cases for the perfect gift for Hermione.

"Draco are you sure you wanna do this?"Blaise asked.

"Yes. I love her and I want her to be safe.This is the only way I know how."

"Headmaster please tell him there are other ways."Blaise pleaded.

"Mr Zambini I think Mr Malfoy is going in the right direction.Look what saved Mr Potter."

Blaise shook his head in defeat.Draco finally found what he was looking for.

"Can I see that ring please?"He asked. The Clerk picked the ring up and handed it to him.

Draco looked it over and then smiled in satisfaction. "Perfect."

"Can I size that for you sir?"The clerk asked.

"Yeah, a size 5 please."

The clerk waved his wand and sized the ring then rang Draco up for the ring.The guys left and Dumbledore made one stop for an errand of his own before they headed to the castle.

Hermione,Harry, and Ron were sitting on the bench when Draco, Blaise, and Professor Dumbledore approached them.

"Good afternoon."Professor Dumbledore said.

" Afternoon."Hermione, Harry, and Ron said in unison.

"So what did you have to do in Hogsmeade?"Hermione asked Draco as he kissed her hello.

"Just ran some errands."Draco answered then dropped down on one knee infront of her.

"Draco?"

"Don't worry I'm not proposing."Draco said pulling abox out of his pocket."What I'm giving you is a symbol of my undying love for you, and a promise that when we're ready I'll ask you to be my wife."He openned the box and showed her the ring.

Hermione took it from the box and looked at it with a smile.Draco took it from her placed it on her finger then kissed her hand.

"I put a charm of love around it so if you ever question my love for you just ask the ring, and it'll show you the truth."

"Thank you."Hermione said giving him a kiss.

"Okay, break it up."Blaise said causing everyone to laugh.

"Now Miss Zambini here is my gift for you and the baby."Professor Dumbledore said handing her a bag.

"Thank you Professor, but you didn't have to."Hermione openned the bag, and pulled out a white lace dress for the baby with a bonnet and shoes to match, a stuffed bear, and the she pulled out a crystal on a chain.

"That my dear is a alert crystal.If your by yourself, and any danger is near that'll let you know so you can find help. It'll also alert the crystal in my hand so we can find you.It will protect you."

"Thank you sir. Is this because Voldemort is after me and my baby?"

All the guys mouths dropped open.

"I'm not stupid guys. I heard you all talking in the common room a few weeks back."

"Well I bid you all good day."Dumbledore said heading to the castle.

"Good day professor."They all said in unison.

"Why didn't you say you knew?"Blaise asked.

"I didn't want you to know that I heard because you all seemed to be trying to keep me in the dark, and I know you had your reasons."

"We just want you safe."Harry said.

"I know. I better go I have to see Madame Pompfry to schedule my c-section.Then you'll all know when Hope is going to grace us with her presence."Hermione walked to the Hospital wing with Draco hand in hand.

Madame Pompfry examined Hermione and then sat her and Draco down at her desk.

"Now Hermione everything looks great.I think it'll be okay to schedule your surgery for say July 10th.Thats a good two weeks before your due so the baby should be fine."

"Ok. So do I just go straight to St.Mungos?"Hermione asked.

"Yep. We'll put you down for 12 noon so be there at 9 am to get prepped and settled in your room."

Hermione nodded and Draco walked her to her common room.

She told Harry, Blaise and Ron the news and they all promised to be there in the waiting room pacing and driving everyone insane.

June 26th

Hermione was at home and was competely misserable.She got a little bit bigger, but not much., and Draco visited her as much as he could when his father wasn't home. Since he was turnning 17 in a few weeks he was working on getting his own place.This way he would finally be free from his father, and Hermione, and the baby could stay with him if they wanted.

Hermione was standing in the nursery when Blaise came in.

"Hey where's mom and dad?"He asked her.

"They left for their convention in London. They'll be back in a few days."

"Well I'm going to meet Draco.We're looking at a couple more places today, you wanna come?"

"No. I want to wash all her clothes and relax a bit."

"Okay. Call me if you need me.The cell phone mom and dad got me is awesome."

Hermione laughed. "I will."

Blaise apperated to draco's and Hermione walked downstairs.She heard some footsteps in the livingroom, and thought maybe Blaise forgot something.

"Blaise! I though you were leaving."She said then stopped at the bottom step noticing the crystal start to glow, she turned the corner when she saw 5 death eaters standing in her livingroom led by Lucius Malfoy.

"Hello Dear. How is my grandchild?"

Hermione ran up the stairs and locked herself into her room.She turned to try to get to her phone but Lucius appeared infront of her grabbing her before she could do anything.

She elbowed him and tried to get away, but all she managed to do was piss him off.

"BITCH !"He said slapping her so hard she hit the floor."Crucio!"

She felt the curse hit and couldn't help but scream out in pain, the crystal started glowing brighter than it was.When the curse was lifted hermione tried to get up but dropped back down to the floor holding her stomach.

"Ahhh!" She screamed as she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.She started to breath hard until the pain subdued a little bit.

"I see the labor has already started."Lucius said gathering her up in his arms and apperateing to his Lord.

Dumbledore tried to pinpoint where Hermione was as soon as the crystal alerted him of danger.He alerted Blasie, Draco, Harry, and Ron as soon as he saw the crystal glow.

"What's up Professor?" Harry asked. As soon as he did Ron, Blaise, and Draco appeared.

"Hermione is in danger."

"WHAT!" Draco yelled.

"I think Voldemort got her.I can't pin point her location anywhere."

Hermione was laying in a bed in a dark cell breathing in and out trying to count her contractions and figure out how to get out and to safety before she delivered.

"Ahhh!" She said as the contration hit hard.A person came into her cell and checked her.

"Please just let me go. I can't deliver my baby here.We could die."

The person shook her head, and walked out.

"Please find me someone."Hermione begged as the contraction settled a little.
