Too Perfect

Chapter 5

Time to Tell

The next two weeks went by quickly, with morning sickness, headaches, and a lot of back pain for Hermione. She realized that sooner or later, she'd have to tell her friends about her secret romance with Draco…and that she was pregnant with his baby. Her life had turned into a soap opera. She went to Madam Pomfrey for the potion that would hide her belly, so no other student's would notice. She went to Draco in the Head Common Room and sat down next to him on the couch, sighing.

"What's wrong, 'Mione?"

"I don't want to tell my friends about this…but I have to! They keep wondering why I eat so much, why I feel so bad, why I keep throwing up…" Her voice trailed off.

"I'm all for telling your friends."

"What about your friends, huh? Do they know about us? All three of us?"

"Well…er…no…"

"I'll tell my friends when you tell yours."

"But your friends are much more understanding than my friends! My friends will pound me to death for dating a Mudblood, and getting her pregnant!"

Hermione was silent for a minute. Draco, seeing her hurt expression said, "I'm sorry, Hermione. I didn't mean it like that…I didn't mean to say you were a Mudblood…some of the Slytherins call you that, but I don't think that. Please believe me."

"I believe you."

Draco breathed a sigh of relief; happy this mood swing was over. Draco thought to himself, This is going to be a long few months…

Harry walked into his Transfiguration class, walked past Ron and Hermione and sat in the front seat. He stared off into space, thinking about Ginny. After all, he hadn't seen her in a whole week. Ron tapped him on the shoulder with his quill and Harry turned around. Ron said to him, "What's up, mate?"

"I'm still pissed off at you, Ron."

"Why? What'd I do?"

"You're forcing Ginny and I to not be able to see each other!"

"It's for her own good!"

"No it's not, Ron! For God's sake!" Harry jumped up and moved to a seta in the back of the room in the corner, where he could sit and think about Ginny in peace.

Harry didn't pay attention during class. If he had, he would've heard that Professor McGonagall said that if they passed their Animigi test from her, they could take their official test from the Ministry of Magic. When the bell rang, Harry scribbled down the homework and ran out the door, anxious because he and Ginny had arranged to meet after Harry's Transfiguration class and Ginny's Charms class. Harry rushed down the hall to the classroom the young couple met at. Ginny was already there, sitting on a desk with a book open in her lap.

"Gosh, Ginny, how long have you been here?"

"About 10 minutes."

"The bell just rang!"

"Flitwick let us out early."

Harry nodded and looked at Ginny and took in her beauty. Her red hair was shining in the sunlight coming from the window on the wall next to her. Ginny looked up from her book and caught Harry staring at her.

"What are you staring at, Mr. Potter?" She said with a smile.

"I'm staring at you. You're beautiful."

Ginny blushed and said, "Thanks."

Harry walked towards her and planted a kiss on her lips. Ginny accepted the kiss gratefully and kissed Harry back with passion of two people in forbidden love.

Hermione entered the Common Room again, tired from the day. She walked up the stairs to her bedroom and opened the door to find Draco sitting on her bed, with a bouquet of yellow roses.

"Draco? What's this?"

"I thought you might have had a tough day after our little disagreement today. So I had these roses sent over. I know they're your favorite."

"Oh, Draco!"

She ran to him and kissed him passionately.

"I love you, Draco."

"I love you, too, Hermione. The next few months are going to be great. I can't wait till we're parents."

Hermione smiled and put her forehead on his forehead, sitting down on his lap.

"This is perfect."

"What is?"

"For the first time, I feel like this whole pregnancy isn't so bad after all. I even feel like we could tell my friends."

"Really? Let's go then! Before you change your mind."

Hermione took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

They got up and left the Head Tower quickly, heading for the Gryffindor Tower. Hermione took another deep breath and said the password, "Mimbletonia." The Fat Lady looked at Draco with small eyes and said to Hermione, "What's he doing here?"

"He's the Head Boy!"

"He's still a Slytherin, and students from other Houses are not allowed in here!"

"Look Miss Fat Lady, don't make me take this up with Professor Dumbledore. I will, you know."

"Oh fine. But make it snappy."

She opened the Portrait and the two stepped inside. The Common Room was unusually empty. Then Hermione realized that dinner was being served and she suddenly became very hungry.

"Let's go get dinner."

"Hermione! We came here to tell your friends, and by God we will!"

"There isn't anyone here!"

"Then we'll wait."

They waited for half an hour. Finally, the Portrait opened and in walked Ginny, very ruffled looking. Ginny took one look at the couple on the couch and said in explanation, "Well, you knew I was meeting Harry!" Hermione laughed and said, "I didn't say anything!" Ginny started trying to fix her hair, and then she noticed Draco sitting on the couch beside Hermione and said, "Er…Hermione?"

"Hmm?"

"What's Malfoy doing in the Gryffindor Tower? On our couch, no less?"

"I'll tell you when Harry and Ron get here."

"Harry should be here soon. We skipped dinner to…well…you know…snog…I imagine Ron's still at dinner."

Hermione nodded and started planning what she would say.

Harry walked in shortly after, almost more of a mess than Ginny, with lipstick on his neck and a bruise on his cheek. Harry looked at Hermione, who was trying to suppress a laugh and he said, "What?" Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She giggled and said, "You've got a little something on your neck, Harry." She pointed on her own neck to show where it was. Harry wiped it away and noticed Draco on the couch.

"What are you doing here, Ferret-Boy?"

"Harry, stop. I let him in here. What happened to your cheek?"

"Why?"

"Because we have something to tell Ginny, you, and Ron. We have to wait for Ron though. Now tell me what happened to your cheek!"

"He's not going to be here anytime soon…"

"Why not?"

"He saw Ginny and I kissing and he went bloody mad."

Flashback

Harry kissed Ginny passionately, feeling nothing but love for her. He was enjoying the moment, his hands on her waist, and her hands in his hair, ruffling it, making it even messier. They sprang apart when they heard the door slam open.

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your hands off of my sister, Potter?"

"Ron! Shut up! I am sick of you interfering with my love life!"

"Stay out of this, Ginny."

"Well doesn't this ring bells?" Harry said, trying to bring light to the situation.

"Potter…I told you to stay away from her and then what do you do? You keep seeing her. Now you're going to get it."

He lunged towards Harry and punched him in the stomach, sending Harry doubling over with pain. Ginny ran forwards and grabbed Ron's shirt, surprisingly strong enough to pull him off of Harry.

"Ron! I cannot believe you! You don't control my life so just stay out of it!"

Ron shook his head and sprang from Ginny's grasp and punched Harry in the face, leaving a bruise on his left cheek. Ginny tried to grab Ron again but he was too strong for her to grasp on to. Suddenly a voice came from the door, "What's going on in here?"

Harry, Ginny and Ron all turned to see Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick standing in the doorway, looking anything but pleasant.

End of Flashback

"So, Professor McGonagall suspended Ron to this like special "Suspension Room" or something. He has to stay there to sleep and there's this…er…screen thing so he can see his classes…he has to stay there for 5 school days. It's really weird."

"Wow, that's so Muggle-like. I don't think that sounds right."

Harry shrugged and Ginny nodded and then Hermione asked, "So why weren't you suspended or anything, Harry?"

"They believed that I didn't fight back and that Ron acted out of his own anger and that I didn't have anything to do with it. I don't get the system."

Ginny asked, "So what's this news, Hermione? You're not making us wait for Ron, are you?"

Hermione took a deep breath and said, "I guess not." She looked to Draco and saw loving, caring eyes. All this time Draco had just sat there and listened and he didn't say anything. It was really nice. Hermione took another deep breath. What am I going to say? Should I just come right out and say it? Should I ease into it? How are they going to take this? I still need to tell Mum and Dad. They are never going to like this. How could they? I'm their perfect little daughter and now I've completely screwed up my life. I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend my life with, though. Draco's the best man I ever could have asked for. He's so sweet and he's so kind and he showers me with love, attention, and gifts. If I'm going to screw up my life, I'm glad I screwed it up with him…although…this really doesn't screw up my life. I'll be out of school when this baby is born…and by then Draco and I will be married…I hope. I couldn't have a child and not be married to the father…at least not a baby. If he doesn't marry me, he better pay me alimony. I can't support a child with my parent's money! That is simply absurd. I'm getting off topic. I should just get this over with and tell them…Hermione took one last deep breath and said, "Ginny…Harry…Draco and I have been…well…" Draco stopped her and said, "We've been going out since summer and last month we had sex and now she's pregnant." Hermione looked at him with disbelieving eyes. He glanced at her and said, "What?" Hermione choked out, "You just blurted it out like that!"

"Well you weren't getting there anytime soon!"

"I was about to say it!"

"No, you were saying "well…umm…er…yeah…umm…er…"

"I was not!"

Harry interrupted, "Can you two put your fight on pause for a second? We just received some really…well…interesting news."

Hermione put her head down in her hands and Draco put a comforting hand on her back. Ginny took a sharp breath in and said, "Well, Hermione…we're…er…happy for you…" Hermione looked up and said, "Really?" Ginny nodded and Hermione jumped up and hugged Ginny saying, "Oh, Ginny, you have no idea how happy this makes me!" Hermione looked to Harry, who was looking at them, clearly in thought. Hermione stared at him with pleading eyes. Harry nodded and gave her a hug. Harry looked at Draco, who was on the couch, staring off into the distance. Hermione laughed and said, "I'm so glad you know and you accept it! This is such a weight off of my shoulders." Hermione's face instantly fell as a thought occurred to her. Now to tell my parents…

A/N-

Note #1- I'm sorry it took so long and it's so short. I spent a great deal of my time on my more successful fic "The Two" and I started a Suite Life of Zack and Cody fic "College Years" so my time has been really full. I'll try and get chapter 6 up as soon as possible!

Note #2- What do you think of my Ron thing. I don't like my "Suspension Room" thing? I'm kind of un-creative right now but I really wanted to get another chapter posted ASAP so I hope you can forgive me.

Note #3- Next chapter: Christmas with the Parents! Should be around soon. I'll get to work on it ASAP.

Note #4- PLEASE REVIEW! I want to at least reach 20 for this fic.

Love,
