prepared to lose her – but could he fight for their marriage? Would she let him?
A Little Secret Among Friends:
Cool, calm and collective were the words someone would use to describe Hermione Granger. Sure she got
scared like many others and lost her nerve from time to time but she always maintained control of the
situations life dealt her. Which is why Harry Potter was taken by surprise the night she showed up
on his doorstep distraught and barely able to stand. "Mione what happened" he asked looking over
her head, he checked the hallway for any sign of trouble before quickly ushering her into his flat.
Harry held on tightly to her arm as he walked her to the couch. Frantically he tossed the books to the floor.
making room for them to sit, the training he was brushing up on long forgotten as his best friend trembled
in his arms "Hermione, would you like some tea?" he asked. There was the smallest of hesitations before
she replied with a nod of her head. "Okay" he said, taking his seat next to her. "What happened Hon?"
"Harry, I'm in trouble" she whispered the words so softly he had to strain to hear them. "Trouble?"
"What kind of trouble?" She struggled to catch her breath before she could answer him. "I'm pregnant"
she sobbed
. Harry was stunned, pregnant; heck he didn't even know she was dating anyone. "Mione,
I didn't even know you were dating anyone" sounding a little surprised Harry sat straight up, placing a
little distance between them. Hermione looked up, her eyes filled with guilt "Nobody knew" Maybe it
was his silence that caused Hermione to break down or the hurt look he gave her but she helplessly flung
herself into the cushion and sobbed.
Harry didn't know what to think as she cried into his couch, truth be told he was pissed. Weren't friends
Supposed to tell each other things. He had always been so honest with her about Voldemort. He trusted her
And Ron with everything and she couldn't even trust him enough to tell him she had a boyfriend. Something
puzzled him though, who exactly was it that got her pregnant? So many questions flew through his mind he
had to close his eyes to get a grip, "Hermione, who is the father?" he asked slowly opening his eyes to look
At her. And there it was, the question she feared he would ask had finally come.
Her eyes held a deep sadness as she left the comfort of the cushion. "Harry, you mustn't judge me" she said
"Mione, you should know I would never judge you" She almost felt relieved at the sound of his soft voice,
so full of understanding and warmth. In a few moments it would be gone and she had no one to blame but
herself. How do you tell your best friend, his mortal enemy fathered your child? "Draco malfoy, Harry,
my baby's father is Draco Malfoy
" He backed away, angry wouldn't even began to describe the way he
felt as soon as the words left her mouth. "Malfoy" he sneered as he paced the floor "I can't believe you"
Harry felt disgusted. Malfoy, the man who helped the man responsible for killing his parents was her lover.
Harry felt like he would be sick. He couldn't even look at her and she knew it. Closing her eyes she silently
Begged for forgiveness "Harry" she pleaded, "I know your upset" she began "UPSET" he yelled causing her
To jump. Sighing he lowered his voice "Upset doesn't even describe how I feel right now"
"Harry I didn't know he was a death eater" she cried. He had to keep himself from laughing, "You didn't
know he was a death eater Mione" "Come on" he spat. "Harry," she said slowly "He told me he was on
our side. He was helping us, he swore it" " I was foolish I know, but he said he was spying on Voldemort"
"If it ever got out Voldemort would have surely killed him. That's why I never told you or Ron"
"We were your friends. We would have understood" he forced himself to say. "Would you've really?"
she cried "I was glad you didn't know Harry, especially after I found out" her voice trailed off.
"Found out what Hermione, that your precious Malfoy carried the dark mark" he sneered.
"Well I must agree with you, trouble is exactly what your in". Her breath quickened. Her belly tightened
Her hands curled into fists by her sides. Suddenly she didn't want to be there anymore. "Your right"
She said angrily "I got myself into this, the wizard world will shun me for certain, I will be all
Alone; No one will ever look at me the same again" her lip trembled as she tried to stay strong.
She needed air, it was a mistake coming here and she knew it. Clumsily she headed for the door
Harry watched her head for the door, his best friend needed him and here he was being an ass. Granted
it would be a while before he could forgive her. Hermione fumbled with the doorknob desperately trying
to make a escape. "Hermione wait" he called before he even realized it himself. She stopped but as
she turned she wished she didn't. She hurt him and it showed, Suddenly the piercing green eyes soften.
"Marry Me," he said smiling at her. "What" she said breathlessly "Marry me, we will say the baby is mine"
Tears threaten to spill as she eyed her best friend "Are you serious?" she gasped. Sighing he kneeled
in front of her "I never been more sure of anything" "I will help you" he replied "Hermione you messed up,
and you know it, but you need my help and I'm here for you" Hermione never cried so hard in her life
as he took her into his arms and gently rocked her. "I'm sorry this happened. But you're not alone anymore"
Ashlynn Nicole Potter was born seven months later and they couldn't have been happier. They had decided
on a marriage of convenience that worked for the both of them. Ashlynn had a father and Hermione couldn't
have been luckier to have a great friend. The alarm clock buzzed causing the wizard to slapped it for
the third time this morning. Groaning he rolled over placing the blanket over his head "Daddy, get up"
a little girl called from the door "Daddy today is my birthday" she sniffled. Harry smiled from underneath
the blanket, he knew his daughter was there. Today she was two years old and he had one heck of a surprise
for her tonight after work. "Daddy" she whimpered. Peeking from behind the covers he smiled at her.
"Excuse me little girl," he said "Can you find my little girl for me? Today is her birthday and I want to give
her a birthday hug" he asked being serious "Daddy your funny" she giggled as she jumped on the bed.
Hermione watched from the hall as her daughter played with Harry, she didn't know what she would do
without him. "Daddy, Mummy said you have a surprise for me" Ashlynn grinned. "Did she now?" he smiled
catching a glimpse of Hermione at the door "Maybe, we'll just have to wait and see"
Little did Harry know he had a surprise waiting for him at work.
