"Well everyone, I have a big surprise, well two actually!" Hermione began.
"Oh, what is it?" Fred started, and George anxiously added, "Tell us, Tell us now!"
"Okay," Hermione gasped, "well, my first surprise is that I'm pregnant!"
Every one gasped and Mrs. Weasley said, "But whose is it, and what's your other surprise."
"My second surprise is that I'm engaged, but I'm sure the real surprise will be who," Hermione was now getting really nervous.
"Hermione, you can tell us we won't care, as long as you love them," Mrs. Weasley reassured, "right kids?"
"Well the tree of us already know," said Ron," and well, I guess it's gonna take some getting used to, but we trust Hermione opinion." Harry and Ginny nodded their heads in vigorous agreement.
"Yeah, we believe in ya' to Hermione," George started, but Fred finished, "of course, as long as it's not someone like Draco Malfoy!"
Everyone laughed except the four who knew, "It isn't Draco, is it?" Mr. Weasley asked, "even though it would be fine if it was."
"You've got to be kidding us," Fred and George said together in disbelief.
"Everyone, I would like you to meet my future husband and the father of my unborn child," Hermione said leaning into the kitchen trying to secretly yell to Draco, "THAT'S YOUR CUE, HONEY!
"Oh!" Draco said to himself and ran into the kitchen to meet Hermione's welcoming hands, which he grabbed and they kissed.
"EWWWWW! Get a room," Fred an George yelled, shielding their eye's, then got smacked by Mrs. Weasley who scolded them.
"Sorry mum," Fred said, "It just a bit of a shocker," George completed the sentence.
"Congratulations!" Mr. and Mrs. Weasley said to them and hugged the two. "Well, Draco you seem, um... different?"
"Well, I've changed a lot, and know my father and his Death Eater friends are my enemies," Draco said.
"Oh, Mr. Weasley, did you hear that Fudge went over tot eh dark side?" Hermione asked.
"Did he really," Mr. Weasley started but was interrupted by Professor Dumbledore who just apparted into the Weasley's kitchen.
"Hermione, Draco, we just finished interviewing Fudge and Rookwood with veritaserum. We found out that right before we caught them, Rookwood had sent an owl to your father Draco," Dumbledore told them.
"What did they tell my father?" Draco said, now quite worried for the lives of himself, Hermione and their upcoming child.
"He told them that he saw you with a bushy, brown-haired girl and a muggle family. He also told Lucius that the girl had on a sapphire engagement ring, and looked to be pregnant," Dumbledore explained.
"But how could he tell that stuff by just looking at us," Hermione asked.
"A special form of knowledge he had, he spent many years before and during his time in Azkaban learning about the muggle world and so much more. He also has some physic ability which he has obviously been enhancing since he escaped from Azkaban.
"Draco," Hermione began, " your father knows that who Rookwood described was me, wouldn't he?" Draco nodded.
"But what can we do about it, Professor?" Draco shrugged.
"You must come back to Hogwarts immediately, and Mrs. Weasley, I will send some Ministry officials to put a protection charm all over the Burrow so no one can get to you unless you allow them. Now this will be one of the strongest protection charms possible, but it is still breakable, or you can use the Fidelius Charm and use a secret keeper, your choice. But you have to tell me now, so what's it going to be?" Dumbledore said patiently, and the Weasley's talked it over.
"We'll use the Fidelius charm, with you as our secret keeper, I hope Dumbledore," Mr. Weasley said.
"Of course, I will be honored to be your secret keeper, I will be right back with a Ministry official to perform the charm. Hermione and Draco, you will remain here, and you might even have to stay her until we have caught Lucius and his followers." Hermione and Draco nodded, Dumbledore then apparted to the ministry of Magic.
Albus Dumbledore immediately found a Ministry worker whom he personally knew could perform this charm correctly.
"Ah, Anthony Smith, just the wizard I was looking for," Dumbledore said.
"Albus, it's great to see you, what do you need?" Smith said, with a hint of and American accent, since he came to the U.K. only four years ago.
"I need you to see to doing the Fidelius charm on the Weasley's home," Albus requested.
"Sure, I assume you will be their secret keeper," Anthony assumed and Dumbledore nodded, the two the apparted to the Burrow to complete the task at hand.
