A/N- I don't have anything to say except, PLEASE REVIEW! Oh, and I'm pretending that the 6th book doesn't exist, because it would change a bunch of things in the story so I'm going to pretend that the 6th book never happened!

Too Perfect

Chapter 4

Finding Out

Harry left his last class in a hurry and headed for the Common Room. He walked through the Portrait Hole and saw Ginny standing in the middle of the Common Room, looking radiant. He ran over to her and kissed her on the lips passionately. Between kisses, Harry asked, "I haven't seen you in two god damn days! Ron won't let me come near you!"

"I know! Do you know where Ron is, by chance?"

"He's on his way up here."

"Then we better stop."

"I don't like sneaking around."

"I don't either, but we can't change Ron's attitude."

"I know."

Harry kissed her passionately again and said, "Meet me here tonight at 11."

"I'll be here."

One more passionate kiss and then Harry ran up the stairs to the Boy's dormitory, and it wasn't a moment too soon. He soon heard Ron's voice in the Common Room saying, "What are you doing standing in the middle of the Common Room like that, Ginny?"

"I just got off the couch. I was heading to meet some one, not that it's any of your business."

"Who? Not that blasted Harry?"

"No, Ron. You've forbidden me to see him, remember?"

"Yeah, I remember. So, how's your day?"

"I'm still mad at you Ron. I'll be on my way."

Harry laughed to himself at Ginny's remark. He was proud of her for sticking up to her brother like that. Harry plopped on his bed and opened his Transfiguration textbook. Professor McGonagall told them to read the chapter about Amnigi, as they would be able to take the test soon. Ron came up the stairs and glared at Harry. Harry pretended not to notice.

Hermione left her Transfiguration class and headed towards the Hospital Wing. She had put this off for two days, but Draco convinced her it was now or never. She opened the door to the Hospital Wing and saw Madam Pomfrey behind her desk in her office. She cleared her throat and Madam Pomfrey looked up and saw her and said, "What can I do for you, dear?"

"Well, I had some questions to ask you."

"Certainly. Come here."

Hermione walked into Madam Pomfrey's office and sat down in the chair Madam Pomfrey conjured up. She took a deep breath and said, "Well…er…how long after sex can you tell if you're pregnant?"

"Oh my! That's quite an odd question. Well, for Muggle's, a few weeks, but for Witches, we have a simple spell which speeds things up so we can tell in just 2 days."

"Oh wow. Well, then, could I ask you to do that simple spell for me?"

"Why, Miss Granger?"

"Because…er…everything said here is strictly confidential, right?"

"Of course."

"I may be pregnant."

Madam Pomfrey took a deep breath and said, "Well…that's surprising. Never would've thought you would…but that's not important. Of course, Miss Granger, I'd love to check for you. Follow me."

She led her to one of the beds in the back of the room and told her to lie down. She did so and Madam Pomfrey pulled out her wand, pointed it at Hermione's stomach and said, "Speedidio!" Hermione watched as her stomach grew larger and larger. Madam Pomfrey said, "Oh my!"

"What?"

"Well, if we use this spell, and the stomach grows large, that's positive, but if nothing happens, it's negative."

"So…what does that mean."

"That means, dear, that you're pregnant."

Hermione stared at Madam Pomfrey for a few seconds and finally choked out the word, "Pregnant?"

"Yes, dear."

"Oh my gosh…I can't believe it! This isn't happening, this isn't happening!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Granger, but that's why you shouldn't have un-protected sex! Or sex before marriage for that matter!"

Hermione started crying and Madam Pomfrey said, "Now, there are some options…"

"Options? Like what?"

"Well, you can choose to keep the baby—"

"I'm sure that my stomach growing bigger and bigger by the day would be quite noticeable, don't you think? I don't want people to know. I don't want to have to leave school!"

"There are spells to hide the growth of your stomach, but not harm the baby. There's also abortion—"

"I could never do that."

"Well, you think it over and let me know in a few days, okay?"

"Okay."

Madam Pomfrey waved her wand and her stomach went down to normal size. Hermione walked slowly out of the Hospital Wing, through the corridors, and into the Head Tower. She saw Draco sitting on the couch, reading a book. She sat next to him and said, "I finally went to Madam Pomfrey."

Draco put down his book and looked at her and said, "How'd it go."

"Not good."

"You're pregnant?"

"Yes…I'm sorry, Draco! I'm really, really sorry!"

"Sorry? For what?"

"For being pregnant."

"Hermione, it's okay. I don't think it's that bad of a thing."

"You don't?"

"No! I think it's wonderful! Irresponsible, yes, but wonderful! Hermione, were going to be parents!"

"Well, Draco, there are options…"

"Options?"

"I could keep the baby and use this spell which prevents my stomach from getting bigger, but doesn't hurt the baby, or I can have an abortion…"

"Abortion? You want to get rid of the baby?"

"No! Of course not! I told Madam Pomfrey that I could never do that…but then I thought that I'd better ask you what you thought."

"I don't want to get rid of the baby. I never want to ever do that. I love you and the baby inside of you."

Hermione smiled and gave Draco a kiss on the cheek and then said, "That is so cliché."

"So?"

"You should never be cliché."

"Why?"

"Well…er…just because!"

Draco laughed and then poked Hermione's sides, her worst tickle-spot.

"Ah! Draco! Stop!"

Draco kept tickling her, and Hermione kept laughing. She forgot all about the baby as Draco and her tickled each other. For the first time in three days, Hermione was in a good mood.

That night, 11 o'clock

Ginny slowly came down the Girl's dormitory steps. She looked around, and saw that Harry hadn't arrived yet. She sat down on the couch and opened a book lying on the couch. She was going to read to help pass the time, and calm her nerves. The Portrait Hole opened and Ginny snapped her head up to see who it was. Ron was walking into the Portrait Hole, a piece of chocolate cake in his hand. He saw Ginny and said, "What are you doing down here, Ginny?"

"I couldn't sleep, Ronald. And I could ask you the same question."

"I fancied a snack so I-- Get to bed, Ginny. Now!"

"No! I can't sleep, so I came down here. I'm not going upstairs just because you tell me to. You're not the boss of me."

Ron glared at her and walked up the stairs to the dormitory. Harry was on his way down the stairs when he heard Ron come in. He listened to the conversation and then heard Ron coming towards the stairs. He dashed back up the stairs and dove into bed. Harry saw Ron enter the dormitory and sit on the edge of his bed, eating chocolate cake. He finally finished and got into his bed to go to sleep. Harry waited until he heard Ron's telltale snores to know that he was asleep. He got up and went down the stairs quickly but quietly. Ginny was sitting on the couch, reading a book. He went over to her and she looked up.

"Hey."

"Hey! I thought you'd never get down here!"

"I had to wait for Ron to finish some chocolate cake…"

Ginny laughed and said, "I'm guessing you were on your way down here and heard him come in?"

"You're too smart."

They laughed again and then Ginny stood up from the couch and kissed Harry passionately. Harry returned the kiss. Since Ron had forbidden them to see each other, they had to sneak around to see each other. Harry had almost forgotten how good it felt to kiss Ginny like this, even though he had just kissed her this afternoon. Ginny broke the kiss and smiled up at Harry. Her dark blue eyes twinkled in the moonlight coming in through one of the windows.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"You were staring at me. What? Do I have something in my teeth?"

"Am I not allowed to stare at you?"

"Well…no…"

Harry smiled and said, "Okay, I asked you to come down here for a reason, so lets get to it."

Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and led her to the Portrait Hole. He pulled his Invisibility Cloak out from his pocket and threw it over Ginny and himself. They left the Tower and heard the Fat Lady say, "Well thank you for waking me up in the dead of night—wait! Who's there? The Portrait opened, I'm sure of it, but no one came out!" she shivered and said, "Runs chills down my spine!" Ginny and Harry suppressed a laugh as they kept walking. Ginny whispered, "Where on earth are you taking me Mr. Potter?" Harry smiled and whispered back, "You'll see Miss Weasly."

Finally, they reached the hall with the Room of Requirement in it. Harry took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket and saw that no one was coming at all. He threw off the cloak and walked back and forth three times, visualizing what he needed. The door appeared and Harry went forward to open it. Harry said, "I have a something for you, Ginny…"

"What is it?"

"It's a surprise!"

"Okay…show me."

"First, cover your eyes."

Ginny closed her eyes obediently. Harry opened the door, took Ginny's hands, and led her inside. Ginny asked, "Can I open them, yet?" Harry replied, "No, not yet." Harry looked around; making sure that everything was perfect. He told Ginny, "Okay, open them." Ginny did and gasped at what she saw.

Hermione lay awake in her bed, thinking hard. She couldn't get to sleep, although she knew she needed to. It was midnight and she had classes tomorrow. Her mind was racing with thoughts of Draco, the baby, and all the people that would be angry with her about the baby. She visualized a few conversations between her, her parents, and her friends. They all ended up badly. Hermione got up and pulled on a dressing gown. She went across the hall and knocked softly on Draco's door, then opened it and stepped inside.

Draco was asleep. He looked so peaceful. He obviously isn't having any trouble sleeping…Hermione climbed up on Draco's double bed and kissed his forehead softly. He smiled, but didn't wake up. Hermione stared at him for a few more minutes, then laid down and put her head on his shoulder. At the pressure on his shoulder, Draco opened his eyes. He blinked a few times and then looked at where the pressure was coming from. There, he saw Hermione laying next him. He knew she wasn't asleep so he said, "Hello."

Hermione jumped a little and said, "Hey. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, Draco."

"Mmm, that's okay. What's up?"

"I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about the baby, and what everyone's going to say and think..."

"Stop worrying. If Harry, Ginny, and Ron are truly your friends, they won't care, same for your parents. My dad's dead, and I'm not connected with his wife…my mother…I've disowned her, but you knew that. And as for what people think…who cares? I don't care what anybody says. I love you, and the baby inside of you."

"You're being cliché again."

They laughed and then Draco said, "So why'd you come in here?"

"Well, like I said, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't quit worrying. So I came in here, hoping if I was with you, I'd be able to fall asleep. It's kind of like when you're little, and you get scared. You go to mommy and daddy and sleep with them, and that makes it all better. I was scared, and I knew you could make me feel better."

"Now who's being cliché?"

They laughed again and Draco kissed Hermione's forehead and closed his eyes. He was starting to drift when Hermione suddenly asked, "Draco?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you think the baby will be?"

"What do you mean?"

"A boy or a girl?"

"Oh…well I don't know!"

"Well, which do you want?"

"I'd be happy with either."

"Oh…just wondering…"

"Go to sleep."

He closed his eyes again and started to drift off when Hermione suddenly said, "I want a girl."

"Is that so…"

"Yeah, I want a girl."

"What if it's a boy?"

"I'd love him just the same. But I've always wanted a girl."

"Okay."

"I want this one to be a girl. I want to have lots of children, but I want an older girl for them. A big sister. Then we could go out to dinner sometimes and have a babysitter right in the family!"

"I've never really wanted that many children. More mouths to feed, more heads to scrub. More responsibility."

"You don't want to have any more children?"

"I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that having a lot of children isn't something I've really wanted. But having lots of kids is fine…just go to sleep, Hermione."

"But we have so much to talk about! So much to plan!"

"What do we have to plan?"

"Well, our marriage, where we'll live, that kind of thing."

"Marriage? Did you say marriage?"

"Yes."

"Who said anything about marriage?"

"You don't want to marry me?"

"Of course I do, but we're not engaged! We can't plan a wedding and not be engaged. It's…it's just…it's just not right!"

"Well, then let's get engaged!"

"Right now?"

"Why not?"

"Why not? I'll tell you why! It's 12:30 AM. It's time to go to sleep. We have classes tomorrow. We can talk about this tomorrow night. Now go to sleep."

All was silent for a few minutes, so Draco one again closed his eyes and started to drift. His eyes snapped open when Hermione said, "You know, you didn't have to answer me."

"What are you talking about?"

"When I said, "I want a girl." And you said, "Is that so." And then we started talking. You didn't have to answer. It was a statement. Not a question."

"You would've thought I was being obnoxious pain in the ass if I didn't say anything and you know it!"

"Don't talk like that, Draco Malfoy!"

"I'll talk however I want, Hermione Granger!"

"Oh, shut up and go to sleep, Draco! Jeez. Keeping me awake at this hour. We have classes tomorrow, for God's sake!"

Draco was about to say that he was telling her to go to sleep a few minutes ago, but she was keeping him up, but then decided that he should just forget it. He closed his eyes and finally, got to fall back asleep.

A/N- Okay, chapter 4 is done, and I hope you enjoyed it. Slight cliffhanger there with the Harry/Ginny situation, but not too bad. I'll update ASAP. I'm in a bit of a writer's block with action right now; so if you've got some ideas for some action, do tell! I'd love to hear from you. So, please review and tell me what you think! Here are some shout-outs to previous reviewers:

Shadow4d4- thanks for your review! It wasn't a flame, and that's why I thought it was great. I did read the 6th book, and this story was started before the 6th book came out, so I'm pretending that the 6th book didn't happen. Thanks for your rating, I was pretty proud, since most people either love my story, or they hate it. You gave me a rating, a 7, and I thought that to be an original, wonderful, idea, not to mention fair, and I greatly appreciate it. Regarding the rating M. See, I didn't want to make it like a PG-13 type thing and get kicked off for them having sex. I think that's why my other account froze. Too much sex in a PG-13 story. I decided to rate it M just to be safe. I'm sorry if you were looking for a graphic story and it's not. I just don't like writing sex scenes, because for 1) I don't want to embarrass myself and 2) because I'm not quite sure of terminology or how to word things quite right. Thank you for understanding, though.

Timonides- Thank you for your review! Hope you liked chapter 4!

Lupinvssnape- Thank you fro your review. I like reading Harry/Ginny Draco/Hermione too. I do read outside that, sometimes. Like: Draco/Ginny Hermione/Ron Hermione/Harry. That kind of thing. Hope you liked Chapter 4!

Azabaza- Thanks for your review. I'm sorry you don't like the Draco/Hermione thing. In my other story, The Two, there's Hermione/Ron for a little while, but it ends up Draco/Hermione. I'm debating an idea for a Hermione pines for Harry story, but I'm still pondering about that one.

And to all my other readers and reviewers, anonymous or not, thank you! Chapter 5 is on the way!

Love,

Dangerous Combonation
