"Okay lord Malfoy. I am going to cast the spell and if it turns red she is not expecting and if it turns blue, she is. Are you ready Miss?"

Hermione took a deep breath and nodded. She was scared even though she knew what the answer would be.

The spell was cast and both she and Draco stared as a blue mist appeared above her stomach.

"You are pregnant." The healer said. "Congratulations." He packed up his things and started heading for the door.

"Miffy!" Draco said, and a house elf appeared. "Show him to the door." The creature nodded and ran after the doctor.

Hermione watched as the blue mist disappeared. She sighed. She already knew but this made it seem more real. There really was a tiny being growing inside of her.

"You alright?" Draco asked.

"You know how much I hate you right?"

Draco rolled his eyes and climbed onto the bed, putting his head next to the tiny bump in her tummy.

"Mummy doesn't mean that." He whispered. "She loves daddy really." Hermione wacked him in the head with her pillow and got out of bed, stretching before heading to the bathroom.

"What do you want for breakfast?" He called as the shower turned on.

"You have never asked me that before. You usually order what you want." Came the reply. Draco grit his teeth.

"Well I am asking you now!"

Hermione snorted.

"Bacon."

"What else?"

"Bacon."

"I heard you. What do you want with it?"

"Bacon!"

"I'm sorry didn't hear you." Draco mumbled sarcastically and snapped for a house elf. He ordered two English breakfasts.

He sat down to wait his turn in the washroom when there came a knock on his door. He groaned and stood up, opening his chamber door.

"Severus?" He asked in surprise. He slipped outside and closed the door behind him, facing the potion master.

"Potter believes that you have Ms. Granger hostage." Severus Snape said, eyeing the blonde suspiciously.

He kept his face blank, but inside he was snarling. How dare that greasy haired idiot try to poke his nose into HIS private business?

"I don't know what you are talking about." Draco grit out.

"Don't play stupid with me boy! You got her pregnant didn't you?" Draco blinked, cursing himself for not noticing the teacher entering his mind.

"So what?" Draco hissed.

"Draco you idiot!" Severus sighed, massaging his fore head with his pointer and thumb. "Why now? In the middle of a war? Do you not know that the entire light side is planning on attacking Malfoy manor to get her back?"

"Why would you tell me that?" Draco asked, his eye rows narrowed in suspicion. "I know you work for them." It was Severus' turn to be surprised.

"How did you know?" He hissed, terrified that somebody had heard. Draco growled and pulled his godfather into his room.

Hermione jumped when they entered. She was sitting in once again one of Draco's shirts and her wet hair tied up in a bun. She gasped as she and Severus made eye contact. Automatically the half blood prince's eyes flew down to her stomach.

"Hermione." Draco hissed so darkly that she shrank back. "Go to the washroom. Now."

"Professor, help me!" She cried. "Please!"

"NOW!" Draco roared, and even Severus jumped. Hermione, absolutely terrified, bolted to the bathroom and slammed the door. Draco locked it with a spell and silenced the toilet before silencing his room.

Hermione wiggled the door nob but it wouldn't open. She tried to listen to what they where saying but she couldn't hear anything. She looked around the bathroom and for the first time, noticed a tiny window way up above the sink.

"How?" Snape whispered.

"It's obvious. To me at least." Draco sneered. "I do a lot of observing. Personally I'm surprised the old snake hasn't figured it out." Severus gulped.

"Are you going to tell him?" Severus asked.

"No. I wont if you don't tell the light side I have Hermione."

Severus gasped.

"Your black mailing me?"

"Well, I wouldn't call it that… It's more like… I do something for you. You do something for me. But yes… I suppose you could call it that."

"You've changed Draco…" Severus said quietly. Draco chuckled.

"No. I've just adapted to the way of war."

"She is not a thing Draco."

"I know. All I'm saying is, if they steal her from me, I will not stop until every single person who dared to touch what is mine have paid dearly."

Hermione clambered up onto the sink clumsily and desperately tried the window latch. Of course it wouldn't budge. Hermione took a deep breath.

She channeled all her magic. She closed her eyes and really focused on her powers. She pictured the window opening. She felt a burning sensation in her fingers and click.

She opened her eyes, hardly daring to believe it. She hoisted herself up and started pushing herself through the tiny window.

"So if you tell…" Suddenly Draco's senses started tingling. Severus stared as Draco went ridged. "HERMIONE!" He bellowed and shot to the bathroom, swinging the door open and looking frantically around.

His eyes landed on the open window. The window was the perfect size for a small woman to escape through.

Hermione was running as fast as she could, out towards the forest when a low growling sounded from somewhere on her right. She yelped and tried running in the opposite direction. She slipped and slid on the stones, cutting her bare feet.

Shadows surrounded her and without warning, she was tackled to the ground. A nose nuzzled behind her ear and a scratchy chin pulled its way up her cheek.

"You smell good," The man above her growled. "Your with child as well. Perhaps I should get rid of it and make you swell with my own pups, hmm?"

"No! No! Get off of me!" The man reeked, and long fingernails dug hard into her tiny wrists.

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because if you don't, I'll fucking cut off your dick and shove it up your ass you fucking mutt." A dark voice growled.

The werewolf looked up in surprise. Draco stood about five feet away, his entire being shaking with anger. Severus stood behind him, his wand pointed at the offending man.

"Get off her Fabber." Severus warned. The werewolf sneered.

"What? Why should you have her when she is so splayed out in front of me?" And he sank his rotting teeth into Hermione's neck. She screamed.

The last thing Hermione saw before she fainted was a lot of blood as the man was blasted off her and grey eyes leaning over her before the whole world went fuzzy and then black.
