Once Harry, Ron, and Hermione had reached Grimmauld Place, Hermione went inside and asked that anyone reveal themselves with a simple incantation using her wand. No one was there so they all searched the house looking at everything. Hermione went to use the loo in the large bathroom. In there was a large, floor length mirror.

While in the safety of the bathroom, Hermione examined herself using the mirror. Carefully, Hermione lifted her shirt up and saw a small, yet noticeable baby bump that was hidden beneath her shirt. She carefully ran her hand over it noticing it was quite firm. She was upset with herself into letting herself get pregnant in the first place, but the fact that she was now pregnant, she felt attached to her unborn son or daughter. She loved her baby already, and was amazed at the fact that she was carrying it inside of her.

"Mommy loves you so much already, dear," Hermione whispered rubbing her hand over her baby bump, "I'm going to protect you as much as I can," She murmured once again. She admired her baby bump already and was amazed at how the curves she has are complimenting her.

Hermione didn't know how long she was in the bathroom, but she was in there for a fair amount of time admiring her baby bump. She just remembers thinking about the future for her baby and rubbing her belly gently and lovingly. She knew that she was approximately three months along. She knew she wasn't able to go to St. Mungo's because of her blood status and risking her, as well as her child's, life. She felt protective over her child already. She wanted the baby to stay safe.

Hermione exited the bathroom and walked around looking into the many rooms of Sirius Black's home that he had grown up in. Hermione found, to her surprise, a library. There must have been hundreds of books located in the library. She found that most of them had something to do with dark magic, but she found some books involving pregnancy with people like herself. She took them to a chair and had them open in her lap. She also had a roll of parchment to write down some things. She found some spells that would help her throughout her pregnancy. She found a spell that allowed her to see the development of the baby, the sex of the baby, and her approximate due date.

"Hermione?" A voice called out to her. She quickly hid the books under the seat and wandered around as if she had been looking around the entire time, "`Mione, what are you doing in here?" Ron asked poking his head in the doorway.

"Just looking," She said quietly, "You know me, I love to read," She said with a bright smile on her face. He nodded, "Did you need something, Ronald?"

"Oh, yeah, Kreacher told Harry that dinner is almost ready. I'm not looking forward to it," Ron said and Hermione nodded at the red headed boy. He smiled and was about to walk out of the room before he turned towards Hermione and glanced his best friend over.

"Oi, Hermione?" Ron asked Hermione. She raised an eyebrow and he let out a deep breath, "Did your clothes shrink at all? They look a bit tight on you," Ron said and Hermione looked down at her clothes and shrugged to her best friend, "You can tell me anything, you know that right?"

"Of course, Ron, and right now, I'm going to the bathroom," Hermione said and then turned towards him, "I will then walk downstairs and try Kreacher's food," She said with a small smile forming on her lips. She had the piece of parchment in her hand and her wand in the other. She walked out of the room and back into the bathroom.

"Okay, which one to do first," Hermione said to herself as she unrolled the piece of parchment and looked at her handwriting.

Lorem ipsum ex- Development (Have to be in front of mirror if doing it yourself. Point wand to abdomen and say the incantation. Baby should come into view. To rid of the view, say incantation a second time).

Etiam Gender- Sex of the Baby (Again, stand in front of the mirror. Point wand towards stomach and say incantation. If it is a Girl, stomach should turn a bright pink. If a boy, stomach will turn blue. If twins- Purple: Two Girls-Green: Two Boys-Yellow: One of each. Coloring will go away within thirty seconds).

Die Nativitatis- Due Date (Mirror is helpful, but not necessary. Point wand towards stomach and say incantation. Words will appear in air if not in front of mirror. If in front of mirror, words will appear there. Words will disappear after a while).

Hermione read over her notes and decided to figure out when her possible due date is. She said the incantation while standing in the mirror and the words, in golden lettering, began to write itself on the mirror: 15th of January. She smiled to herself. She opened her pocket calendar and marked due date on there. She then counted back and noticed she was already at the four month marker. That explains why Ron was able to notice the tightness of her shirt. She knew she wouldn't be able to hide her pregnancy much longer, but she could definitely try.

She then muttered the development spell and smiled widely upon seeing her baby in the mirror. She ran her finger over her stomach and almost felt close to her child. She was looking at the profile of her baby and could tell that her baby was definitely a Malfoy. Her baby was also sucking its thumb inside her womb. She then let out a sigh and said the spell pointing her wand at her stomach once again. She covered her stomach once again and opened the bathroom door and walked downstairs where everyone was waiting for her. She smiled softly at them and sat down next to Harry.

"Ah," He said and pressed his hand to his forehead where his scar was beginning to prickle underneath his fingertips.


Meanwhile, at Malfoy Manor where all the Death Eaters were sitting around the long, wooden table that belonged to Lucius Malfoy himself. At the head of the table sat the evil Lord Voldemort himself. Behind him stood his faithful servant, Wormtail, or Peter Pettigrew. Draco Malfoy sat as far away as he could from the Dark Lord. He sat there barely paying attention to a word that Voldemort was saying. He was forced to join the Dark Lord against his will.

"It has come to my attention that Potter is in hiding with his traitor friend, Weasley, and the mudblood, Granger," Voldemort said standing up from his seat. Draco turned his eyes towards Voldemort and his eyes went instantly to the floor where his long snake, Nagini, remained faithfully by his side as if they were glued to his hip.

"Draco," Voldemort said coming towards Draco's seat. Draco shifted uncomfortably in his seat, "You must know where the mudblood and her friends are. You, after all, seemed to be good at following them."

"I'm sorry, my Lord, I haven't a clue where Potter is with his posse," Draco said not looking up to see the snake like eyes of Lord Voldemort. He heard Voldemort take in a deep breath through his nose and glide past him and around the table back to his seat and folded his hands together.

"My Lord," Bellatrix Lestrange's voice said as she leaned forward on the table announcing her presence. Draco looked towards his aunt and saw her crazy hair hanging on the sides of her face, "I want to kill the mudblood," She said in a voice that had a voice filled with a lust for killing. Once those words had reached Draco's ears, he went rigid in his seat. He remembered the countless nights he would spend with Hermione, and the night where he and her had done something he would never forget.

"I knew you would be up to the task of killing the mudblood, Bellatrix," Voldemort said with a rather satisfied tone to his voice, "Now, speaking of Muggles," Voldemort said and waved his hand towards himself and a person was seen floating above them. Draco recognized the person almost immediately. He recognized her as one of the Professors at Hogwarts.

"This is a teacher at Hogwarts," Voldemort said blatantly, "She taught Muggle Studies and of course, believed that it is a well, magical thing mixing our untainted blood with the blood of a Muggle," Voldemort said with a hint of disgust in his voice. Bellatrix imitated the sound of puke and the others chuckled at Draco's aunt.

"Severus, please," The teacher pleaded to Snape, "We're friends," She said with a shaky voice. Voldemort was looking at Snape and back at the teacher before raising his wand at the teacher.

A flash of green light flew out of his wand as he said the unforgivable incantation, "Avada Kedavra!" Draco jumped slightly in his seat as the professor landed on the table with a loud thud. Voldemort then began talking to his snake in parseltongue. The meeting was soon dismissed and Draco left immediately and retreated to his bedroom where it was his sanctuary.

Draco quickly shut his bedroom door and locked it and put some enchantments on his door to not allow any intruders into his bedroom. He walked over to his windowsill and put both of his hands on the ledge and closed his eyes tightly trying to forget the words that his Aunt Bella had spoken to the Dark Lord.

"I want to kill the mudblood," was on repeat on the inside of his head. It was a loop and kept repeating itself in his aunts lustful tone.

Draco was so upset for letting this happen. Instead of becoming an enemy to Potter, he could have chose to be an ally to him and his posse. He didn't have to discuss Hermione with his parents at home, either, but he had. Unfortunately, the events had taken a toll on him too since he had fallen in love with the beautiful Muggle-Born named Hermione Granger. He knew he was in love with her because every time her name was brought up in conversation, it made his heartbeat quicken in pace. He also longed to see his brown haired, brown-eyed beauty once again.

Draco knew one thing, though, he regretted letting his father make him a Death Eater. He would never forgive him for that.


A/N: Thank you for all the reviews on chapters one and two! The feedback is remarkable, I am amazed at how many people read, alert, and favorite stories on here. During my time on , never, did I get this many reviews in one day. I usually recieved one or two, but never did I recieve four for one chapter overnight. So I thank you all! Also, I did bring Draco into this chapter (yay!) and I wanted to do both Hermione at Grimmauld place as well as Draco at the Manor. I decided that I had to choose how to tie them together. I actually had a dream last night and it was about this chapter. I must have thought about it very long and hard so I ended up dreaming about it. So, the dream was Harry's scar hurting and then it went to the scene at the beginning of Deathly Hallows Part 1 where all the Death Eaters sitting at the table. As you can tell, I changed some of the events.

Keep reviewing, please!
