I curled up into a ball on the couch and cried my eyes out. How could the father of my child, my husband, just leave me hear to suffer alone? Didn't he love me? I mentally kicked myself. He just needed time didn't he? That's all it was, wasn't it? Surely he would come out in a few minutes and tell me he was going to support me 100. He had to. Minutes passed but still no husband. I was really beginning to get worried. What if he was beginning to doubt his love for me? All the unanswered question swam through my head. It was like being tortured. br /

b Author's POV /b br /

br /

Draco Malfoy sat in his room waiting for a response. He had just owled his father. He could remember clearly the exact words he had written. br /

br /

i Dearest Father, br /

I have to tell you something very important. Hermione Fixby Malfoy is pregnant. With my child! I obviously remember the plan very well. The only thing is, I am afraid I cannot go through with it. I have really fallen for Hermione. I will NOT give over to him. She is pregnant with my child for goodness sake. I am also going to tell her the whole truth. I will understand if she no longer wants to know me but I will still not give her over. Please reply soon father. br /

Draco was really nervous. The reply would arrive in minutes. They had a top of the range eagle which was unbeleivably fast at delivering mail. All he could do was wait. br /

b Meanwhile /b br /

In the common room, Hermione was still on the couch crying. She was just about to go to her room when she heard a loudish POP. Startled she looked up to see none other than Lucius Malfoy standing before her. Puzzled she asked her father in law what brung him to Hogwarts. He laughed lightly but said nothing. Panicing slightly Hermione turned around saying she would fetch Draco for him. br /

br /

"That will not be necassary." he said to her coldly. As quick as a flash of lightening the blonde man grabbed the young girls wrist. With another pop they both vanished. br /

b In Draco's Room /b br /

br /

Somewhere in the distance, Draco Malfoy heard a popping noise. Thinking he was imagining things he forgot about it. His first thought was apparation but he knew that was not possible. He heard voices in the common room. Just as he was about to investagate, he heard another pop. Picking up his pace he dashed through his door. To his surprise no one was there. Therefore, Hermione was clearly in danger. He would have heard her go through the portrait door.Getting himself into a panic, he rushed for the only person who could help. Dumbledore of course. br /

br /

He rushed through the corridors ignoring all the stares from students he passed by. His mind was only focused on one thing. Helping Hermione! br /

br /

Just as he was nearing the Headmasters office, a hand grabbed him. br /

br /

"And just where do you think you are going Mr Draco Malfoy?" br /
