Forbidden Fate
Chapter 3

Hermione walked back into the castle, she couldn't get it out of her head why would Draco be taking a 'dip' during the time he supposed to be looking out on the grounds. Ignoring it she decided to head in for the night.

"Hey Ginny?" Hermione asked at the breakfast table, Ginny stopped talking to Seamus and looked at her. "Yeah?" She asked.

"I feel like someone is watching me," Hermione said,

"Really, well look around, see who it is,"

"No, what if it's nothing I don't want to seem like an idiot," Hermione explained.

"Well then just relax," Hermione looked down at her food then the feeling came back, she slowly lifted her eyes and what met hers were deep silver eyes, the eyes of him, Draco Malfoy.

She gasped and dropped her cup spilling her drink everywhere.

"Hermione what is wrong with you?" Ron asked.

"Nothing, excuse me," Hermione got up and ran out of the Great Hall, the whole time she could feel him watching.

She ran into her dorm room and shut her door.

"What was that about?" She asked Herself., walking over to the window and there she saw the lake, it was calm and she knew it was calling to her for some reason. She held her stomach. She had to go back in, but she didn't want to risk her child's life again.

She walked outside, once again in her white gown, she slowly walked to the lake and felt the cold water touch her feet, ignoring it she slowly walked down until it was just her head above water, she whispered a word and a mask came around her face, making her able to breath under water for a hour.

She took the last step and she was in the water fully. She looked around. Her gown flowing everywhere.

It didn't seem like anything was in here, not even the creatures were around. She swam around, she knew something was in here and she had to find it.

She was losing air slowly, her hour was almost up and she didn't have any luck finding what she wanted to find. She wanted to re-surface but she couldn't she had to keep searching. But the mask was slowly disappearing.
…….

She turned around a rock and her eyes met silver ones. The air bubble disappeared and she breathed in water. She tried to swim but her legs wouldn't let her, she could feel herself being brought up and her vision started to fade, she was close to blacking out when all of a sudden she felt air going into her lungs. She opened her eyes, He was breathing into her mouth.

He pulled away and started to once again bring her up to shore.

She could see the sky and the moon, and finally she could breath as they ripped through the surface. She coughed and looked at him. He was starring at her with a non impressive look on his face.

"Malfoy what are you doing?" Hermione coughed.

"What does it look like? I'm saving you, what are you doing in here?" He asked.

"I was looking…for you?" Hermione said confused, "You it was you who saved me the other night," Hermione said.

"Yeah it was, might I ask what you were doing in here?"

"You, it was you who kept starring at me, I thought I was seeing things,"

"Look don't buy to much into it," He said. "What were you doing down there trying to get your self killed?"

"No, I was searching, and I found it. Malfoy what is going on with you," Hermione looked at him, and sure enough his legs were taken over by fins.

"Look It's just a curse now go, get out of here," Malfoy said.

"A curse, what kind of curse?" Hermione asked, she then sneezed. Draco grabbed her arm and helped her onto the land, he took his wand and summoned a blanket over her.

"It's a curse, I refused to become a Death Eater and this is my punishment," Draco explained. "What were doing in here that night I first saved you?" He changed the topic.

"I was - nothing, but how do you break this curse?"

"Don't know, the only thing I can think of is by joining them, but I'm not willing," He said. "But stop changing the subject, you, other night why?" He asked in four simple words.

Hermione took in a deep breath.

"I was going to ki-" she stopped and faced down.

"You were going to kill yourself?" Draco asked unsure if that is what she meant.

She nodded her head.

"You miss smart witch? Why would you do that?" He asked, now he was leaning his upper body on the land looking at her.

"Because I am scared," Hermione held her stomach.

"Granger what is going on, as much as I don't want to know I don't want to see you in this lake again, unless it's to swim, I don't need someone coming here to discover your body and find me like this, now what is wrong with you?" He asked. "Well why should I tell you? It's none of your business," Hermione said.

"Your right, but I'm making it my business, I see you at the dinner table all the time, your quiet, you don't speak, you act like your alone, I know those things because I do it too, but then you miss classes, something is wrong?" Draco said.

"Fine you really want to know?"

"Well since your offering?" Draco said with a smirk.

"Look I was rapped three months ago," Hermione said, taking in a deep breath.

Draco lifted his eyes and looked at her with disbelief.

"What?" Draco asked.

"And I just found out that I'm I'm-" She couldn't say it.

"Your pregnant aren't you?" He asked seeing as to how she couldn't say it.

She just nodded her head. She then jumped up and ran into the castle, she couldn't face him anymore. She couldn't even look at him.

Draco looked down then watched her retrieving form. That explains everything.

"She's pregnant, scared and thinks she's alone," He whispered to himself before he dipped back into the water.
