A/N: Thanks to my reviewers! I've got a couple of regulars who review each of my chapters! I can't remember who you guys are at the moment because I'm not on the internet but I will check who you all are! I still have all of my reviews in my inbox. Okay to answer a few questions:

You will find out in this chapter and the next couple of chapters about Ginny and Blaise.

Yes! Harry has come into play! I think the whole Harry/Ginny coupling is cute –he's a brave boy to go for his best friends little sister! My brother would kill his friend if one of them wanted to go out with me! But anyway, just because Harry loves Ginny, it doesn't mean she's going to want to be with him. (I so wish he didn't break up with her at the end of 'Half-Blood Prince.' She waited years to be with him!)

Ron does still care for Hermione to a certain level. He is frustrated though because even though he made an attempt to apologize, Hermione didn't accept like she always used to.

The reason the kiss between Hermione and Draco wasn't detailed is because all it was for Hermione was a good kiss. It was something more for Draco because he likes her, but in the last chapter when they kissed, it was from Hermione's prospective and she is only just starting to believe that she can trust him and he could be a good friend to her. It's complicated but she doesn't like-like him, if you know what I mean! Draco will describe it when he's alone though.

This chapter is a bit drastic! A bombshell is dropped straight away!

Hermione was sitting alone in the common room. Draco had gone off to find Blaise after he and Hermione had spent a little time together, talking over some amazing hot chocolates. She found herself thinking; not about her last year at Hogwarts but about her and Draco.

'I really can't believe I said yes... What was I thinking?'

She started to feel bad about going out with a guy she had no romantic feelings for... Then she thought about the kiss.

'It was good. Good? What am I saying? It was bloody fantastic! A lot softer than Ron's or Viktor's. It could've been better if I had loved him like I loved those two.'

Just as she started to doze off, dreaming about the kiss, she heard a knock at the entrance to her common room. She stood up and went over to the portrait and opened it. There stood Ginny, her eyes puffy and red from crying.

"Oh Hermione! Thank god you're here!" The feisty redhead looked puffed out; like she'd run to Hermione's dorm.

"Hey Gin! The last time I saw you, you looked like you'd been crying. What's been happening? Is it Blaise? What has he done?"

"He hasn't really done anything."

"Then what's wrong, honey?"

"Um, Hermione, I think I might be pregnant. Mum's gonna kill me!" The youngest Weasley let the tears flow freely from her eyes after those words while Hermione sat across from her, stunned at what had just been said.

"Ohh, Gin don't cry! Having a baby is an amazing thing. I'm sure she'll be fine with it once she gets used to it. And Blaise will be there... it is his right?

"Yeah, there's been no one else. I can't believe it. We've only done it twice."

"How long ago?"

"A week before school started and then 6 weeks before that."

"Have you done a test yet?"

"I'm too scared to go to Madam Pomfrey by myself... will you please come with me?"

"Of course! That's what best friends are for." Hermione wrapped her arms around the tiny frame of Ginny. She hoped for the sake of Ginny and her family that she wasn't pregnant.

Draco had been walking towards the entrance of Hogwarts when he heard a voice call out from behind him, "Oi, Malfoy. Get your slimy little ass here now."

He turned around to see Weasley. His face was as red as his hair.

"What do you want? I'm going to be late for an appointment." Weasley had always agitated Draco, although Draco wasn't quite sure why. He's not quite sure why he hates a lot of people, he's guessing that it's due to the way his father raised him.

"Nah, man, this won't take long."

"What –"

Whack

Ron had punched Draco square on the jaw. It wasn't a bad punch, but Draco was a lot stronger than Ron was and his balance didn't fail. He still stood, only an inch shorter than the lanky Weasel.

"Stay away from Hermione. All you'll do is hurt her," Ron mustn't have thought about his words. He set it up beautifully for Draco, who had already formulated a comeback in his mind.

"Oh yeah, Weasley. That's rich coming from you. The guy that cheated on his first ever girlfriend with the Hufflepuff slut."

"Don't call her that. She gives me things like that because she loves me. Hermione never gave me anything because she never loved me; not like Hannah anyway."

"You call that love, Weasley? If you really loved Hermione in the first place you would've waited. And anyway, I dunno what you mean. She seems pretty willing to oblige now."

Draco knew he hit a nerve within Ron straight after he said this. He also knew that it was pretty low of him to say something like that but he just wanted to let Ron know that Hermione wasn't his anymore.

"So you're trying to tell me that that little bitch let you take her only a day after you started dating?"

'Oh my god. Weasley actually believed that we were going out. That show on the train was so lame and soap opera-ish. But hey, he is a Weasley.'

"Who said our first time was after we started going out?" with that Draco turned on his heel and continued to walk out the front door of Hogwarts and towards the edge of the forest. He saw his best mate since birth standing there - Blaise Zabini.

"Hey Zabini. What's crackin'?"

"Draco... Ginny thinks she's pregnant." Blaise's face was pale and there was no emotion in his eyes. Actually, when Draco thought about it, he thought he could see fear in his eyes.

"Wait – you and Weaselette got it on?" Draco smirked. He was proud of his friend. Even though they were referred to as the 'Sex Gods of Slytherin' only Draco lived up to his reputation, Blaise was a virgin. Up until he met Ginny of course.

"Yeah but you're completely missing the point."

"Oh, right. Sorry. You didn't tell me!"

"Draco!" Blaise now sounded frustrated, so Draco thought he better pay close attention.

"What?"

"Ginny thinks she's pregnant."

"What? Oh, mate, your dads gonna kill you. Your mum will be happy but your dads gonna kill you. I thought she was just a one-off thing."

"Yeah, so did I. So did father. Mum loves her; she thinks she's perfect. And she is. She's everything I want in a girl -"

"You took her home to meet the 'rents?" Draco was surprised. He knew that his father – and Blaise's father – would never approve of their sons dating Weasleys. They were like the lowest kind of witches and wizards around according to those high-society folk.

"Yeah they wanted to meet her. I couldn't say no. Father didn't like that she was a Weasley but he thought she was attractive and he liked the fact she was pureblood. He said I could keep her for a mistress when I married. I want to marry her, not have her as a mistress."

"I can't believe you got her pregnant? Haven't you ever heard of condoms?"

"It was a heat of the moment type thing." Draco thought he could sense embarrassment in the tone of Blaise's voice. The blush on his face only added to Draco thinking that he had embarrassed him. "Anyway she's going to Pomfrey now for a pregnancy test. I better head back to see if I really am going to be a daddy." Blaise beamed. He liked the sound of that.

"How ya going to tell your dad that you got her pregnant?" Trust Draco to wipe the smile off of Blaise's face.

"I dunno. I'll figure out a way."

Meanwhile... In the hospital wing.

"I'm scared 'Mione. I really am. Mum and dad are going to be so disappointed. I still have a 2 years of school to do and I'm probably going to be a mum before sixth year is finished."

"Don't be scared, Gin. Everything will be okay."

Ginny was crying when she and Hermione entered the hospital wing so Hermione explained to Madam Pomfrey about the situation. Now they were just waiting for the test results.

The curtain pulled back and Madam Pomfrey walked over to where the two girls were sitting on the bed.

"Congratulations, Ms. Weasley. You're going to be a mother. You're 4 weeks pregnant. The father is Mr. Potter, yes? He has been sweet on you for quite a while, I understand?"

Ginny blushed and started crying. She was unable to speak so Hermione once again spoke for her.

"Actually, no. Harry does like Ginny but the father is Blaise Zabini of Slytherin."

Madam Pomfrey looked shocked.

"Slytherin?"

"Yes, they got to know each other over the summer and one thing lead to another, I guess."

"I understand. These things happen. Now, Ms. Weasley, the Headmaster and your Head of House will be informed of your pregnancy immediately regardless of what you say. Now, who will be telling your families? Would you like the Headmaster to accompany both you and Mr. Zabini, just to make sure things don't get a little crazy?"

"That would be good, thanks." Ginny managed a faint smile and got off the bed. "I guess I should go and let Blaise know now. Thanks, Madam."

--

Outside the Hospital Wing, a nervous Blaise Zabini was waiting with Draco. He jumped up as soon as he saw his possibly pregnant girlfriend enter the room.

"So? Are you or aren't you?" he asked anxiously.

"I am. I'm 4 weeks along. Dumbledore is going to help us tell out families. They have to

know."

"Yeah I know." Blaise embraced his girlfriend. He was so happy that he was going to be a father but he was worried about what his own father would do once he found out.

Hermione watched the couple standing in front of her. They looked so happy together, even though they were about to experience a tough battle. She didn't even want to think about the reaction of the Gryffindor's or Slytherin's and she couldn't bear to think what could happen once their families find out.

She felt a pair or arms snake around her middle and a tender kiss on her neck. She felt herself warm up just from his touch. She knew she didn't love him, but she loved the way he had made her feel today while she was with him. She could see herself with Draco in the future – the way that Ginny and Blaise could see. Both couples had their futures ahead of them but both were going to be in for a bumpy ride and all 4 of them knew it. But blimey! They were willing to give it a good shot.

So guys! Ginny's pregnant? Didn't see that one coming did we? Or, you might have!

There wasn't much about Draco and Hermione in this chapter but in the last few paragraphs Hermione sees how happy that Ginny and Blaise are even though they're about to face a huge obstacle in not only their relationship, but their life. Hermione just wants to be happy. Maybe she can find happiness with Draco! But relationships are never that easy are they?
