He drowns in his dreams, an exquisite extreme I know, he's as damned as he seems and more heaven than a heart could hold.

'Late….oh my gosh…I'm late' Hermione didn't think that one 4 letter word could scare her so much.
"Hey are you ok?" Draco asked, he must have noticed the look on Hermione's face.
"Umm…yeah…listen it's getting kind of late can we just finish this tomorrow" Hermione said distractedly.
"Sure…why don't you go on to bed and I'll clean this up" Draco said giving Hermione a curious look.
"Thanks…good night" Hermione said and walked up to her room slowly. When she got there she lay down on her bed and looked up at the ceiling blankly.
How could this happen? How could I let this happen? What am I going to do? If I really am pregnant how can I tell Draco? I can't tell him, he would never make a good father. If he can't love himself there is no way that he can love a child…or me. Hermione lay there for the next two hours contemplating this. These were the thoughts that made her drift off to sleep.
"Granger wake up!" Draco yelled shaking Hermione the next morning.
"Huh…what…what time is it?" She asked groggily as she sat up in her bed.
"Its 7:30 you have to get up classes start in thirty minutes" Draco exclaimed as he left the room.
Suddenly Hermione remembered why she hadn't changed out of her school robes the night before. She remembered that there was a possibility that she could be pregnant. Hermione got up and hurriedly ran a brush through her hair and changed out of yesterday's school robes and into fresh one's. She ran down to the great hall… she knew that she could talk to Ginny…she understood everything.
"Ginny" Hermione said tapping her on the shoulder.
"Hey Hermione!" Ginny said cheerfully turning around in seat at the Gryffindor table.
"I need to talk to you…can you come with me?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah" Ginny answered getting up from the table; they walked outside and sat down on a bench.
"So what's going on?" Ginny asked concernedly.
"Well I have this problem…this huge problem" Hermione started but couldn't finish because tears began to fill her eyes.
"Come on Hermione it can't be that bad" Ginny said with a smile.
"Ginny….I think I'm pregnant" Hermione said quietly, Ginny just sat there stunned.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"I'm over a week late" Hermione said gloomily.
"But that doesn't mean that you are pregnant Hermione…it could be a number of things" Ginny said comfortingly.
"What am I going to do Ginny?" Hermione asked.
"You are going to take a pregnancy test…don't worry about it I'll get it for you…I'll have it by the end of the day" Ginny said "Hermione, no matter what happens everything is going to be fine" She said smiling at Hermione.
"Thanks Ginny" Hermione said and hugged her, grateful to have such a good friend.
"One more question Hermione" Ginny said.
"What's that" Hermione said.
"If you are pregnant…who's the father?" Ginny asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"I don't even want to tell you" Hermione said her cheeks turning red.
"You mean it's not Harry" Ginny said with a questionable look.
"No!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Then who? Oh gosh it's not Ron is it!" Ginny asked looking alarmed.
"No…it's Malfoy" Hermione said looking down at her feet.
"You're kidding!" Ginny squealed, Hermione just shook her head.
"Wow…what was that like?" Ginny asked interestedly.
"Ginny!" Hermione yelled.
"Sorry, sorry…I just wondered…anyway you go on to class let me take care of everything" Ginny said patting Hermione on the leg and then got up and left.
Hermione was so grateful to have her…she had such great friends. Friends. Harry and Ron. What the bloody blazes was she going to tell them if she was pregnant? Who would she tell them the father was? She was already late for class but she had to lean up against the wall because she felt like she would faint.
"Granger skipping class now that's a first" she heard Draco's venom voice say walking towards her.
"Not now Malfoy" Hermione said looking at the floor, she couldn't look at him; she couldn't look into his cold grey eyes.
"You don't look so good Granger, I mean you never look good but you look even worse than usual" Draco said looking a bit concerned.
"I'm fine Malfoy just leave me alone" she said walking to her class which was Transfiguration.
When she came in late Professor McGonagall gave her the usual lecture but Hermione was just too distracted to pay any attention to it. She was that way in all of her classes Harry and Ron kept asking her what was wrong and she kept assuring them that she was fine. They didn't want to make her mad so they dropped it.
At lunch Ginny passed Hermione a paper brown bag underneath the table, Hermione hid it in her robes and excused herself and hid it safely in her closet she headed down stairs from her room and she sat down on the couch. Then Draco came in.
"Are you ok?" He asked standing in front of her.
"For the millionth time I'm fine!" she yelled at him, she knew she had to tell him but not like this.
"You're a bad liar Granger" Draco said, he wasn't backing down and Hermione didn't reply.
"I know when you're lying and I know that you're hiding something so you might as well just tell me" Draco said and he waited but Hermione didn't say anything.
"Fine" he said irritably and started walking away.
"Draco I'm pregnant" the words were out of Hermione's mouth before she had time to think about what she was saying.
"What?" Draco said turning around slowly.
"I'm pregnant" Hermione repeated hot tears stinging her eyes.
"Are you sure?" He asked sitting down beside her.
"Well I don't know for sure but I might be" she said a tear rolling down her cheek.
"How late are you?" he asked staring blankly at the empty space in front of him.
"Over a week" she replied quietly.
"You need to take a pregnancy test" Draco said still staring blankly in front of him.
"I have one, it's in my room" Hermione said.
"Go take it" Draco said.
"I'm…" she started but he cut her off.
"I know but just take it" Draco said reading her mind.
Hermione went in her room and opened her closet door and took out the brown paper bag and walked into the bathroom. What was inside this paper sack determined her entire future, who knew a little plastic tube could say so much. After she took the test she went back into the common area and sat down next Draco.
"What if I'm pregnant?" Hermione asked Draco.
"I don't know…I guess it depends on you…do you want to keep it?" Draco asked looking at her for the first time since she told him the shocking news.
"Well of course" Hermione said.
"If you want to keep it then I want to be there for it, I know that I'm not the best person in the world and I haven't treated you the way that I should. I have screwed up so many times and I don't know how to do a lot of things but there is one thing that I know how to do and that is how to be a good father. I had a horrible father and the only thing he taught me is how not to be a dad. I don't want my child going through its life thinking that its father hates it. I don't want it to turn out like me" Draco said, Hermione searched his eyes to see if he was telling the truth and for the first time his grey eyes weren't cold.
"Ok if you want to be there for it then I want you to be" Hermione said.
"I promise I'll be a good dad" Draco said sincerely "But this is just if your pregnant you may not even be pregnant" Draco said he could tell that Hermione was wishing that she wasn't and he was wishing for the same thing.
"What time is it?" Hermione asked.
"1:00" Draco replied looking at his watch.
"It's time to check the test" Hermione said but she didn't move, Draco stood up and took her by the hand and led her to the bathroom.
"I can't do it…I'm too scared" Hermione said backing away from the bathroom door.
"I know you are, I am too…I'll read it ok" Draco said putting his hands on Hermione's shoulders, she just nodded numbly.
Draco picked up the test off the bathroom sink and walked over to her.
"What color means what?" Draco asked looking down at the test.
"Pink means your not pregnant and blue means you are" Hermione answered, her heart was pounding so hard that she could hear it.
"Hermione your pregnant" Draco said and with that a fresh batch of tears began to fall from Hermione's eyes.
"No" she said through sobs as she slid down the wall.
"Shhhh its ok Hermione…everything is going to be ok" Draco said as he crouched down in front of her and took her in his arms.
