It was the day Lucas was supposed to talk to Caden. I felt nervous and I didn't know why. I mean it isn't like I am going to talk to her. Even if I was I wouldn't be nervous. I just imagined what he was feeling. We were outside waiting for her to come out. When he saw her he looked at me and gave me a light smile, before getting up and walking her way. In a way I really hoped she turned him down. I don't know why I was feeling like this. I know Lucas and I are just friends, but I really can't help but like him. He isn't like most guys, you know? He was sweet, kind, and caring. He had the smile of a angel and the body of a god.

"Lucas, just go do it!" I nearly yelled at him and gave him a little shove. He looked at me and laughed a little.

"I am going I am going." He said. "After I finish that paper that is due tomorrow." He turned around and I stopped him.

"No, you have been making up excuses all week! Now get you butt over there and talk to her before I hex you!" I threatened him.

"Okay, Okay." He said rolling his eyes as he started in Caden's direction. I could tell he was nervous and I really couldn't understand, but he had to do this. For both our sakes. I watched as he started over to her and I bit down on my lip hard. Why does a guy like that have trouble with girls? I just couldn't understand that either. I sigh as I see her smile and him sit down next to her. I tell myself that this was all for the best. It has to be this way. That he will only like me as a friend. I watched as they both began to laugh and she touched his shoulder gently. I felt tears burning my eyes and I tried my hardest not to let them fall. I couldn't help it though. I took off running.

"Hermione?" A voice asked. I had my head buried in a pillow, crying so I didn't see who it was. "Are you okay?"

"I just want to be left alone!" I demanded. I didn't want to be rude, but at the time I could have cared less.

"I.. okay. I was sent up to tell you Lucas is looking for you." Lucas! I can't let him see me like this. All puffy eyed. What if he asked what I was crying about? I could tell him I was crying because I liked him and he was with Caden.

"Fine!" I nearly yelled at the poor girl who had came and told me. I heard her walk off and I sat up, whipping my eyes and sniffed a little. What could I do? I sighed and walked down to the common room. I caught Ron's eye on the way down and he looked at me with a satisfied smirk on his face when he saw I had been crying. He was such a bastard.

"Hermione! She agreed to go to Hogs...have you been crying?" His tone changed from excited to worried in two seconds flat.

"Yes, but I am fine, Lucas. What did she agree to?" I replied.

"To go to Hogsmade with me." He answered, still in a worried tone. He looked at me. "Seriously Hermione, what's wrong?"

"NOTHING!" I yelled, grabbing most of the common rooms attention. "GOSH! WHY DO YOU PUSH IT?!"

"Whoa! Hermione, calm down I am just worried about you." He threw his hands back.

"WORRIED?!" Why was I yelling? It isn't like me to create a scene. "

"Yeah."

"WELL NEXT TIME DON'T! JUST GO WITH YOUR STUPID GIRLFRIEND AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" I yelled and ran up to the girls dorms. I was humiliated. What had just done? I knew what I had just done. I had lost the only friend I had right now.

I sat up in my bad, crying because of the pain.

"Lumos!" I whispered and looked over at the clock. It was two AM. What was going on? Was it the baby? It was too soon. "AHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed, waking up the whole room.

"Hermione! Are you okay?!" Ginny asked, rushing over to my side.

"No!" I yelled shaking my head, holding my stomach. That was the last thing I remember of that night. I passed out right there.

I felt something warm on my hand. Not opening my eyes yet I felt it was another hand. Without thinking I gave it a gentle squeeze. Opening my eyes, I nearly screamed when I saw it was Harry.

"Harry? What are you doing here?" I asked him, still a little dazed.

"Ginny came and told us you were taken to St. Mungos and I came as soon as I could. Lucas is out in the waiting room. He wasn't for sure if you wanted to see him or not. The doctor refuses to tell either of us what is wrong with you." Harry explained. I saw the bags under his eyes and smiled.

"Thank you for coming, Harry."

"Hermione, you are one of my best friends. Of course I will come." Harry said and looked toward the door. Lucas stood there. Harry looked back at me and I gave him a nod to let him know it was ok. He smiled and stood up. Harry walked out, shutting the door behind him.

"Luke, I am so sorry. I didn't mean any of it. I was stressed and hormones got to me and the mood swings. If you hate me I completely understand." I rambled. He laughed. LAUGHED! How could he be laughing at that?! Did he think I was joking?! Did he find me funny?! What was I a clown?!

"Hermione, you are something else. I don't hate you. I never could. I was scared out of my pants when I found out you were take here." He sat on my bed and wrapped his arms around me. "I am worried about you and the baby though. That couldn't have been good for it." He said just holding me. The doctor walked in.

"I am assuming you are the father of the baby?" She asked looking at Lucas.

"Uhhhh... no, just a friend of the mothers." He replied, letting go of me and standing up.

"Is the baby okay, doctor?" I asked and I saw a disappointing flash go through the doctors eyes. I felt my heart sink. Did I lose it? No! I couldn't have. I just couldn't.

"No, the baby isn't okay." She told me. I felt my eyes fill with tears. "It looks as if you have put a lot of stress on yourself and that means you but it on the baby. So it has somehow gotten tangled up in it's cord and can't get unstuck. So you have two choices. We can do a spell to undo the baby and it might kill the both of you or we can do nothing and the baby will die." Wow... It had a chance to die either way. It hadn't even been born yet. It hadn't taken it's first breath of air. It hadn't tasted it's first ice cream. It hadn't had it's first cut. I wanted it to have all that, but was it worth the risk of me dying too?

"Do the spell." I finally answered, knowing I couldn't kill the baby.

"Are you sure? I mean, it is dangerous."

"Do the damn spell before I change my mind!" I yelled. The doctor nodded and pulled out her wand. I closed my eyes and braced myself for it. All of a sudden there was a pop in the room and I was knocked off my feet. I hit my head on the wall behind me. "OW!" I cried and Lucas rushed to my side.

"Hermione, are you okay?!" He asked in a panic. I tried to open my eyes to look at him, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I relaxed my body, not feeling able to move.

"Leave her there." I heard the doctor say and passed out again.

Opening my eyes I found myself in a dark room. "Hello?!" I called out. No one answered. "HELLO!" I screamed, scared.

"Hermione, lower your voice. People sleep around here." Said the doctor as she walked in and turned on the light. Looking around I saw that I was still at St. Mungo's.

"How's my baby?" Was the first question out of my mouth.

"It's fine." She said with a smile. My face hurt because I smiled so big. I couldn't believe it! It was okay.

"Where is Lucas?" Was my next question.

"I made him go back to school. He had school tomorrow and couldn't stay all night." She explained. "Although I would let him he would." I laughed. I was lucky to have such a good friend.

"When can I go back?"

"In about a day or two, when you regain strength." She informed me and I nodded. "Now lay back down and get some rest." But I couldn't sleep. I was wide awake. So I laid there looking into the darkness, thinking about what to do next. What was I going to tell people when I got back to school? How could I see Lucas with Caden and not get stressed? What was I going to do when I started to show? What would I say when they asked who the father was?
