Okay, the third chapter was the same as the 2nd. But I think I fixed it and here's chapter 4.
OH YEA: I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter
Hermione and Draco spent the rest of the night in their common room. They sat by the fire, talking and holding each other tightly. Hermione was so happy, nothing could ruin this moment. And nothing could make it any better either. Draco leaned in and kissed her gently on her forehead. Then pulled away looking into her eyes he whispered to her,
"I love you Hermione," He said shifting his body and facing her, with his hands on top of hers.
"I love you too Draco," she said with a loving smile. "What?" He was looking at her in an odd sort of way, his face wasn't as she had ever seen it before. There was something there that she couldn't explain.
"Do you mind if I ask you a question?" He said to her
"No, you can ask me anything you want to. You know that," She answered running her hands lovingly through his soft blonde hair. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek.
"So, you don't mind if I ask you a question then? Well, okay here goes…" he trailed off looking extremely..not Draco.
"Are you okay?" Hermione asked. "You look …sick."
"Hermione, you want to be with me right?" He asked.
"Yes, I want to be with you Draco. I want to be with you forever."
"Then…" He said reaching into his pocket and pulling his hand back out…looked like something was in it. "Then, will you marry me Hermione?" He opened his hand, and the little box within it. There was the most beautiful ring Hermione had ever seen in her life. A huge Emerald with diamonds glimmering all around it on a think silver band.
"Oh my goodness Draco!" Hermione said with tears filling her eyes. "I don't know what to say." She said smiling through her tears.
"Say yes Hermione. Please marry me." Draco said staring into her wet eyes.
"Yes Draco. I'll marry you." She said as he pulled her left hand from her face and slid the ring onto her finger, then looked up at her with tears coming from his own eyes. He grabbed her and hugged her tightly as he kissed every part of her face.
"I'm so glad you said yes, I thought you weren't going to." He said still holding her.
"Well of course I was going to say yes! I was just so shocked that you asked me!" She said happily. "I love you Draco," She kissed him and laid her head on his chest.
"I love you too." And with that they sat in front of the fire holding each other all night and falling asleep there. Not once letting go of one another.
The next morning when they awoke, they showered and went to the Great Hall for breakfast. Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table and Draco sat at the Slytherin, but they sat to where they could still see each other easily. Hermione was smiling all the time without even noticing it.
"Happy aren't you Hermione?" Ginny asked. Hermione looked at her surprised but then she smiled at her friend and nodded her head.
"Look at this Gin," Hermione said waving her hand in front of Ginny's face.
"That's so beautiful! Draco bought that for you then?" She said as she started to butter her toast. "Its really pretty Hermi-" She sounded as though she just realized what was going on. "He asked you to marry him!" Ginny exclaimed very loudly. "Sorry, didn't mean to yell that out."
"Yes he asked me last night. It was so beautiful, we were just sitting there in front of the fire, and he asked me to marry him. I was so shocked Ginny, you have just no idea." Hermione said happily, as she returned her attention back to her food. She did get a lot hungrier now that she was carrying a child and all.
"So you're really going to marry Malfoy then?" Said Ron who had obviously heard the two girls' conversation.
"Yes Ronald, I am" She said in a final tone.
"That's really great Hermione," Harry said smiling at her. She knew his smile was genuine. "Maybe he really has changed his ways."
"Yes, he has Harry. And thank you for accepting this the way you have." Hermione said smiling then taking a bite of bacon. "He does love me you guys. He really does, and I really do love him. I mean after all, we are having a baby together. As a matter of fact I have to go to the hospital wing after I eat," She said to her three friends. "I need to let the staff know my situation and everything."
"Yes, you do Hermione. I want to go with you! And I know Draco will too," Ginny said smiling broadly. "Let's go get him and then go to the hospital wing."
"Okay then," Hermione said smiling and taking a big drink of orange juice to wash down all the food she had just stuffed in her mouth. They set off for the Slytherin table, getting many strange glares from the other house tables. Not so much Gryffindor and Slytherin, but Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were looking rather shocked to see them walking in the direction of Draco Malfoy.
"I'm going to see the nurse about everything Draco. Are you going to come?" She said waving her hand with the diamond on it for the nosey Pansy to see. When she shot a glance at her she was positively furious.
"Yes, of course. Come on then," He said standing and taking her hand as he Hermione and Ginny set off for the nurse.
As they entered the Hospital wing they saw Madam Pomfrey bandaging up Neville, it looked like his homework went wrong. There was no doubt it was for potions. That was always Neville's worst subject. Pomfrey finally realized that they were there and told them to have a seat. They did so, and sat in three available chairs. Hermione was extremely nervous, she had no idea how she was to tell the nurse she was pregnant. In a few moment's time she walked over to Hermione and asked what the problem was.
"Well, umm. I'm pretty sure that I'm pregnant." She finally let it out. Simple and fast, and she wouldn't mess it all up.
"Okay Miss Granger. Go to the closest available bed and I'll be there in a few moments. Your friends can sit with you," She said it as though Hermione was the 100th person to come in that day and say she was pregnant. But Hermione did as she was told and walked over to the nearest empty bed and sat down upon it gently. She did nothing except twiddle her thumbs and smiled nervously at Ginny and Draco, who smiled encouragingly back at her. Within a few minutes Madam Pomfrey was at the bed and told Hermione to lie down.
Hermione did so, and Madam Pomfrey waved her wand across Hermione's bare stomach and started to write things on a clip board with her wand.
"Alright Miss, stay here for a little while, while I go and check the results." The nurse said as she began to walk back to her office.
"Okay," was all Hermione could manage to say. She looked back up at the ceiling with nothing in particular on her mind. She felt Draco grab her hand and hold it tightly in his own. She looked at him and smiled, and over his shoulder she saw Madam Pomfrey coming back towards them. She had a piece of parchment in her hands.
"You can sit up now dear if you'd like to." She said smiling at her. "Well Miss Granger, you are indeed pregnant. You're three months along, and everything seems to be fine. I've made you an appointment at St. Mungos for further testing. They can do more there, your appointments on the 2nd of January." She finished and then walked back to her office apparently ending the visit.
"See, everything went fine baby," Draco said as he helped her out of the bed. "Your appointment's a while away though." He said with a slight drop in his face.
"Well, time will pass fast Draco," Ginny said trying to comfort both of them. As they stepped out of the ward they heard some one shouting.
"Miss Granger!" Madame Pomfrey was rushing after her. "I'll inform the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall." She said as she caught her breath and walked back in after Hermione nodded.
"Wow, old McGonagall!" Ginny said as they turned the corridor. "Can you just imagine what she's going to say?"
"I hope nothing that will piss me off," Hermione said finally smiling. She was quiet on the count of she was shocked to finally have it official. She was pregnant. She wasn't scared, in fact she was quite happy. So happy that she had forgotten that they didn't have classes tomorrow either, since it was the beginning of Christmas break. It had completely slipped her mind, and she was quite glad for once in her life that she had a couple of weeks off. And the sooner Christmas came, the soon her she could go to St. Mungos and see what was going on with the baby.
The next couple of days went by fast, and it was already the day before Christmas Eve. And everyone that had stayed at school was in Hogsmead doing last minute Christmas shopping. Hermione was in a store looking for something for Draco, it was so hard to shop for him. She couldn't decide on what to buy him or what not to buy him. But finally, she settled on something she hoped would be perfect. She saw this most beautiful bracelet for a man. It was thick and silver, with green gems running along it. And in the center was a large serpent. It was a Slytherin band. She knew he would like it, he had changed his ways towards muggleborn's and Gryffindor but he was still very proud of his House.
She went up towards the witch in the front and sat the bracelet on the counter. The witch looked at her rather oddly. "Are you sure this is the bracelet you want?" She asked Hermione smiling. "It isn't Gryffindor you know."
"I know what it is. Its not for me, it's for my fiancé." Hermione said smiling to herself. She had called him her fiancé, well it was the truth.
"You're a Gryffindor aren't you dear?" She asked Hermione again as she began ringing up the item.
"Yes I am. But he isn't, he's a Slytherin. And I'd really appreciate it if you would just tell me how much that bracelet is Miss." Hermione said not bothering to hide her annoyance.
"10 Sickles." She said as she wrapped it and handed it to Hermione. She was still giving her a disapproving look. It was obvious that everyone was going to be uneasy about this situation. Even people she didn't even know. As she stepped back onto the busy street, she could see the Three Broomsticks through the thick falling snow. She made her way in to the pub looking to see if any of her friends were there. She spotted Harry. He was sitting at a table with Ron and Ginny, and….Draco.
"Well, see everyone's fine without me then," She said smiling and sat down.
"Yes Hermione, we are quite fine." Said Draco with a smile as he kissed her on her cheek. "What's in the bag?"
" Your present." She said sliding the bag away from him.
"Your waiting until now to buy my gift? I've had yours for ages!" He said faking a hurt voice. "Shows how much you think about me Hermione Granger."
"No Draco, you are very hard to shop for." She said as she took a sip of his butterbeer.
"I am not!" he said with a shocked face. "You just don't know me very well,"
"I know you fine. I just didn't know what you would or wouldn't want." She said matter of factly. "And now that I'm warmed up some, I'm going to look for you something else."
"Can I come?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No" She said smiling, then she looked at her friends and said goodbyes and left again.
This time she was in shop that sold men's clothes. She looked around a picked out a dark green and silver trimmed dress robe. And then she saw a shirt that said "Number One Dad" on it. Hermione bought it for a little laugh. She paid for her item's and set back off for the castle. When she bumped into the last person she wanted to see.
"Shopping for my Draco Granger?" Said the nasty voice of Pansy Parkinson.
"Your Draco? If he was yours Pansy, then wouldn't you be having his baby? And wouldn't you be engaged to him? Well, as far as I see it I'm the only one right now that can say he's My Draco." Hermione responded, still walking.
"You think its going to last between you and Draco Granger? It won't! Take my word for it. I'm going to do everything I can to see to that!" Pansy yelled. And as Hermione turned to look at her, Pansy was falling face first in to the snow. Draco had shoved her, rather hard. But Hermione didn't even think for once it was wrong. In fact she laughed quite loudly.
"You're not going to do shit Pansy. Your going to sit around sulking in the common room, and cry to your little bitch friends, and you are not going to touch Hermione. I'll make certain of that." Draco said quite furiously as he kicked snow in her face. Pansy started to cry. And Draco made his way towards Hermione and started walking with her to the school.
Okay, there is chapter 4. Hope you liked it. It was kinda pointless in some areas, but still I think it was okay. Alright, read and review people!
