A/N: I don't own Harry Potter

A huge thank you to all my loyal readers. I promise I'm going to get things updated!

"Hermione? Are you in here? Draco said you would be in here."

"I'm over here, Severus. Think you could help me reach this book? It's just out of my reach."

"And you did not see the stepping stool?"

"I can't see my own feet at the moment, so no. I didn't. Now you are going stand there and snark at me or help me?"

"Fine, here. I'm leaving, Hermione. I have my own work to attend and you and Draco do not need me anymore."

"So you said at breakfast. You will drop by now and then?"

"I will, but only to make sure you and Draco haven't killed each other."

"Fine, I'll see you then, but before you go."

"Hermione! Kissing me will not make me stay. I am not interested in you in that way. Even if I were... you are not in control of your own emotions right now."

"Maybe I meant it? This baby doesn't even have a father, well, he or she won't have a father once I finally get my hands on Ron's neck."

"Killing him will not help this child. There is no nursery in Azkaban."

"Figures. Come back soon?"

"We'll see."

"Hermione? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Severus left and I kissed him and he wouldn't kiss me back. And there's no nursery in Azkaban!"

"Um, right. Let's get some lunch. Food will make you feel better. I've got some chicken?"

"Grilled?"

"Yes. Grilled. There's a fresh spinach salad also, if you're interested."

"Strawberries?"

"Are completely out of season, but what's the point of being a Malfoy if I can't find someone to ship some?"

"I like strawberries with spinach."

"Right. Now,do you feel a little bit better?"

"Yes, but Severus still wouldn't kiss me back."

"Why did you kiss him in the first place?"

"He's attractive. And I don't know... He said it's just hormones, that I really don't feel that way."

"You said you loved me yesterday. He told me the same thing then."

"Really? I said I loved you?"

"Yes. You called me Dray Dray."

"Giggle! Well, that would be a cute pet name?"

"It would be completely irritating."

"So, perfect?"

"Hermione, I know it feels like everything is falling apart right now. That because of what he did to you, that you feel as if you're alone. You're not alone, I'm here. Severus will be back and forth knowing him. Maybe you could wait on the proclamations of love and cute pet names until the baby is born and you're less... hormonal?"

"But that's five months from now."

"It's going to be a very long five months. Now, lunch? You must be starving?"

"I am, and over lunch we can talk about which book are missing from your library and you could help me go over this list of baby names? I need input from someone, and since my ex isn't going to be involved, maybe you could help me?"

"Fine, although it's a tradition in my family, well, my mother's family that everyone was named after a star, or constellation."

"That's kind of cool, actually. You can look up and see your namesake in the sky."

"It was actually quite cool, Hermione. Part of the reason I got straight Os in astronomy."

"Maybe I should think about star names?"
