Chapter 11 – Will You Marry Me?

Winter has gone by and it is now spring in Hogwarts. Hermione and Ginny stopped receiving insults and other hateful comments for about a month now and everything was returning back to normal. Ever since Harry and Ron apologized, both girls started sitting back at the Gryffindor table. Now, Hermione was due to give birth any day. Ginny gave birth last week to a very healthy baby girl and she has been invited to stay with Blaise at the Zabini manor over the summer. Right after Ginny gave birth, the whole Weasley clan came to ooh and ahh over the new baby. All the males threatened Zabini while their mother was playing with the little Rhia.

Draco made his way to Snape's office and knocked on the door. "Enter." He heard Snape say and he opened the door and walked in.

Snape looked up and saw Draco. His features softened and asked, "What's the matter?"

Draco didn't know how to ask him just blurted it all out at once. "I want to ask you if it's okay to ask Hermione to marry me," he said quickly.

Snape looked amused. "Is this why you were so nervous during Potions this afternoon?" Draco nodded waiting for Snape's response. "I was wondering when you would actually ask her."

Draco immediately relaxed at the answer Snape gave him. For a minute he thought Snape would react the same way he did in the hospital wing when he found out Hermione was pregnant.

"If that's all you want to ask you may leave now," Snape said. Draco got up and headed for the door. When he reached the door, he heard Snape say, "Remember, if you hurt her you'll wish you were never born." He turned around and nodded towards Snape, then left the room.

--------------

He walked back to the common room and saw Hermione sitting on the couch reading. Hermione looked up and smiled at Draco. Suddenly, Draco became all nervous on the inside.

"Hermione?" he asked.

"hmm?"

Draco walked up to her and got down on one knee. Hermione put down her book and looked at him.

"What's wrong Draco?"

"Hermione," Draco started. "You know I love you and I know you love me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I want our children to be able to grow up in a family. Will you marry me?" (A/N – that was cheesy) He pulled out a little box from his pocket and showed her the ring. The ring was silver with a diamond in the middle and two smaller diamonds on the sides.

Hermione started at Draco in shock. She loved Draco very much and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Blinking back the tears that were threatening to fall she said yes. Draco got up and slipped the ring on her finger. He then kissed Hermione passionately.

"I love you Draco," said Hermione when they broke apart.

"I love you too," he replied.

The next day Hermione was beaming. She was in an extremely good mood during all her classes. After classes, she made her way to the hospital wing for her monthly checkup. She was about a feet away from the hospital wing when suddenly, her abdomen hurt really bad. She looked down and saw blood dripping down her legs. She walked as fast as she can to the hospital and called Madam Pomfrey. She put Hermione on a bed and told her to try and relax while she contacted the Headmaster.

When Dumbledore found out that Hermione was going into labor, he searched the castle for Harry and Ron. He found them in Charms and pulled them out of class.

"Is something wrong professor?" asked Harry.

"Nothing is wrong Mr. Potter," he replied. "Hermione is going into labor and I know she would want you there to support her. Before you go to the hospital wing, I want you to go to the potions classroom and inform Severus and Mr. Malfoy about Hermione."

Both boys nodded, and then sprinted towards the potions classroom. When they were almost near, they heard Snape yelling at some poor student. They opened the door and everyone in the class turned in their direction.

"Potter, would you like to tell me why you are disrupting my class?" he asked. The class contained 7th year Hufflepuffs and Slytherins.

Harry was still trying to catch his breath so Ron spoke. "Its...Hermione," he panted. "She's going into labor."

At those words, Snape dismissed the class, much to everyone's pleasure and the four of them ran towards the hospital wing. When they got there, they saw Hermione screaming at Madam Pomfrey and she looked like she was in extreme pain.

"I'M NEVER GETTING PREGNANT AGAIN!" she yelled.

Draco walked up to her bed and held out his hand for her to hold. Hermione grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. Draco didn't know Hermione contained such strength. His hand was hurting badly, but his face didn't show it. He sat there comforting Hermione.

"HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO RELAX! YOU TRY GIVING BIRTH TO TWINS!" she snapped.

After twenty-two hours of squeezing Draco's hand and yelling at random people the twins were born. Severus came out first and was five minutes older than Allison. Hermione was holding Severus while Draco was holding Allison. Harry was Severus' godfather, much to Snape's displeasure and Ron was Allison's godfather. Ginny was both of their godmothers.

"Would you like to hold Sevvie?" Hermione asked.

Snape stiffened at the nickname, but quickly relaxed. He held out his arms to take Severus Jr. from his mother. He smiled at the baby in his arms. The baby had little strands of blond hair, pale skin, and his eyes were black like his.

Hermione stared at her two babies and slowly she fell asleep.

A/N – okay, I know that's not the best ending, but I had a little case of writer's block. Also, there will be no epilogue. Please review and tell me what you think.

My next story is going to be SSHG. I'm writing it all out on paper first and I'm about half way done. I'll post that up as soon as I finish.
