Chapter 3

Six years ago during the war, or what would have been their seventh year, each Malfoy made a choice. For Draco it was to get the hell out of there when he was told to identify the Golden Trio. "It might be." After what felt like years, Draco turned his back on everything that he believed. Draco got them all the hell out of the manor, with the unexpected help of his parents.

Lucius Malfoy wanted his family more than anything else. He tried to get out to the best of his ability, but house arrest was inevitable.

Narcissa Malfoy, his beautiful mother, lied straight to Voldemort's face. She did it for her son, she needed to know he was alive, needed to know he was safe. She lied, and she lied damn well. It was because of her that they all stayed out of Azkaban, because of her beautiful lie.

When the young Malfoy turned against the man-who-wouldn't-die along came many others. Slytherin's were loyal to the core believe it or not, and they would not be loyal to a man who could not even be loyal to his own blood. Truly Tom Riddle did not stand a chance when Draco left.

Draco Malfoy did not know this would happen, he did not know that they would stand by his side, he did not know they would fight with him. One thing he did know however was that family was more important than following a half-blood preaching about blood purity.

Blaise Zabini, the walking, talking version of Switzerland was the first to follow. Though he had thoughts of blood purity he never really sought it out. Pansy Parkinson, a true friend was pissed out of her mind to find that Blaise switched before she did. She should have own the moment Draco stepped out of line, but like the boy he was he never said a word. She really had nothing to do with the war anyhow, but like all rebelling she did what her parents hadn't ever wanted her to do. The rest of Slytherin was to follow with their stories in tow.

During the war Harry Potter learned that Pansy Parkinson was a force to be reckoned with, who knew she was good at magic, hell Draco didn't even know. And during that war Pansy learned she had nothing to rebel about since her father too rebelled against his lord, but was killed for it. That was when Harry Potter had an epiphany; he wasn't the only one that lost so much.

In the midst of it all, no one would have thought that there would also be one of the greatest gains, in the form of morning sickness, displeasure of many scents, and the inability to eat normal foods. This all happened when the great Harry Potter and his red headed sidekick didn't want any harm to come of their special girl Hermione Granger. This is where Harry's great trust and giving people a second chance kicked in, leaving Hermione alone with an Ex-Death Eater.

One thing lead to another when neither thought the other two boys were going to return, then thoughts of 'we're going to die out here because Harry was the only one who had the map' came out of nowhere. This lead to the union of the two, which did not last long at all, that, is of course relationship wise. However it did bloom into a beautiful relationship after all their problems with each other were sorted out, mainly what role Draco would be playing in their child's life.

It was easy to tell when Hermione was thinking, and it was right now. It was now that she wasn't chatting your ear off about the new book she heard of, or telling you that that isn't how to go about completing a certain task. In was now she couldn't find the right words on how to go about this topic. It was now that her mind was going into overdrive.

"Can we discuss this elsewhere?" she said quietly, then to reassure herself that it would be a private discussion she added, "Alone." Draco nodded his head, he knew this was out of the blue, it wasn't like he asked randomly if someone would marry him, specially someone that he was not in a relationship with.

There were moans and sighs by those moving out of sight that wanted to catch a snippet of their conversation. The two moved in the office room, which was spotless of any documents that would normally be found in an office. Draco came to the conclusion that she was either far too organized for her own good, or she never used the room in the first place.

In a casual voice Draco said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Hermione scoffed at him and said a few silencing charms on the room. "What do I want to talk about? Are you kidding me? You just asked me to marry you, why on earth would we get married?"

"For someone so smart you sure do ask a lot of questions." Well he felt a little proud of what he thought to be a clever comeback.

That was till she ruined it and said, "Like I haven't heard that before."

"Well Granger I don't think it's that hard to understand, I want to marry you, so what do you say?"

"I say what the hell kind of drug are you on?" Not that Draco would know what drugs where.

"Ya, I don't even know what you're going on about," he replied truly not understanding this 'drug' concept.

"No."

"No what?"

"No I won't marry you."

"Why the fuck not?"

"Well why would I?" She said, surely if he really wanted to marry her she'd find out, and the easiest way to do that was to deny him.

"Well now, I was really just hoping you'd say yes and we wouldn't have to have this little chat." And she was right, there was a special reason as to why he wanted to marry her. She gave him silence, and more silence, and some more silence, along with some cold glares. "Well dammit Granger, because I love you."

"That is the biggest bullshit that I have ever heard. Now, I'm going to stick to my answer, we are never going to talk about this again, and I'm going to leave this room." She was serious too, why should she have to have this crap in her life?

"I could lose Cal." What the fuck? "We could make it all work you know, while everyone else orders you coffee, I order you your hot chocolate, which I know you prefer. You hate lobster, only Merlin knows why, and you're allergic to green teas, which sucks to be you, and you get headaches fro-"

"Draco, what are you talking about, you won't lose Cal."

"No Granger, I will." He took a big breath in, "There's a Marriage Law coming out at the end of next month."
