A/N: Okay, actually it might get a little bit longer than I had anticipated because I was just sitting one day minding my own business and BOOM an actual plot came to mind. So I'll do my best and sort it all out. Thanks!!

Chapter 6 – Dumb Ron

Hermione had spent the last couple of weeks in complete hell. She didn't know what to do. She was 17 for goodness sakes! What would she tell her mother? What the hell would she tell Harry and Ron!! They were going to ask who the father was of course, and probably be extremely pissed at her. What the hell had she gotten herself in to? She was sick everyday and extremely pissed off. The combination of hormones and depression about Draco was getting to her. She'd see him all over the place, looking pale and desperate, but she never looked into his eyes. She didn't want to see the anger and confusion and loneliness there.

She had already decided to try and keep this as big of a secret as possible. She knew some concealment charms so that she could stay with her friends as long as possible, but knew that she wouldn't be able to go to school next year. It would be impossible to sneak out to go have a baby. Plus what would she do with it after that!? She didn't want to saddle her mother with a child, even if she was willing to take it.

Hermione was wandering around the corridors pondering all of this, once again doing her prefect rounds when she was again dragged into an empty classroom.

"Drac-"she froze as she saw who it was.

"Did you just call me Draco?" Ron asked in shock.

"No…no…that was a kind of muffled what the heck," Hermione protested feebly. It wouldn't have fooled anyone else but this was Ron.

He gave her a lopsided grin and closed the door behind them.

"Look, what do you want Ron, I have my rounds to do still and I'm exhausted."

"Hermione, I know we haven't been getting along that great lately, and I'm sorry."

Ron took a hesitant step towards her then another, seeming to work up more courage. He came so close that she could feel his breath on her face. It was disconcerting really how close he was.

"Okay, fine it's fine. I'm sorry too, now really I have to get going back to my rounds." She stepped away from him and reached a hand out towards the door but his wrist pulled it back quickly.

She tried to rip it away forcefully but he held on.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she stood staring at him.

"Hermione, I know you want me, I've always known. You don't have to try and hide it anymore." He pushed her body against the wall and tried to kiss her neck.

She ducked his kisses but was still pressed against the wall.

"I don't want you Ron, I'm sorry, I still want to be friends though okay." Hermione tried to sound brave but could tell her words were coming out weak.

Ron seemed to think that they were coming out more from being faint and embarrassed. He obviously didn't get the point as he started to try to kiss her again and caress her breast. She slapped his hand away and tried to push him off of her. He captured her lips with his in a hard kiss drowning out her noises of protest. She pushed him as hard as she could away from her and he went stumbling backwards. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" she screamed at him.

He advanced again, "Taking what is mine. We are supposed to be together Hermione."

He pressed up against her harder and bit her neck roughly while trying to snake one hand up her shirt and the other up her skirt. She tried to push him off again but he pinned her one arm and grasped the other with the hand that had been trying to make its way up her shirt. He thrust his hand roughly under her skirt and tried to stick a finger into her unwilling core. She squirmed and shrieked incoherently.

Suddenly the door to the room burst open and a stunning spell was shot at Ron who keeled over instantly. She ran crying into Draco's strong arms.

"Did he touch you?!" Draco thundered at her, grasping her tightly and glaring at the stunned Ron.

"No, well yes sort of. I'm okay he didn't actually do anything. He's just stupid." A few stray tears made their way down her cheek and he glared with such fury at Ron that she stepped in between them afraid for his safety, despite his stupidity.

A low growl escaped Draco's throat as he tried to calm down.

"Fine, let's just get him out of here. But he is going to pay for this." Draco snarled at Ron's body.

His voice was so harsh Hermione practically recoiled. She knew he meant it, and she knew Ron had better watch out.

"What were you doing here anyways Draco?" she asked tentatively.

"Prefect. Remember? I know you don't even talk to me anymore but I figured you'd still remember some things," he snapped, then wanted to take it back but didn't know how to do so tactfully.

His words stung her. It was true though, she knew she was being unfair. She looked away from him and back at Ron.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Draco hissed with over enthusiasm which resulted in Ron smashing into the hard ceiling above." Whoops," he said unfeelingly.

They made their way back to the Gryffindor room and Draco dropped him on the floor outside the portrait.

"If you need me, for anything…you know I'll always be here." Draco cupped her face in his hand and gently kissed her lips, looking godlike in the darkness accented by the moonlight streaming through the windows.

He turned away quickly, unable to look at her any longer and walked away.

Hermione stood there in pain for a moment, then glanced back over at Ron's limp body. She enchanted him again and brought him into the common room, unceremoniously dumping him on the couch. Thankfully, everyone else was in bed already and she whispered a spell that would make it all seem like a dream; that is except for the pounding headache he was going to have tomorrow.

Draco slowly entered his private room and noticed a note lying on his bed. He picked it up wonderingly and felt a familiar pull, and the world started to spin…
