A month had passed and Hermione was in the middle of her sixth month. Draco had occasionally asked Happy to bring him to Hermione so he could see how she was doing. Narcissa would send gifts with Draco for Hermione and her unborn grandchild. She was currently in hiding, but somehow, Happy always seemed to find her and return Draco to her. One of the gifts was a complete book on pregnancy that she had purchased from a Muggle book shop while pregnant with Draco. She also had sent along a baby name book.
"Hermione, come on, talk to me instead of reading," Draco whined to Hermione sitting on the side of the bed and resting one of his hands on her baby bump.
"Did you know the baby can hear now?" Hermione asked ignoring Draco. He groaned and rolled his eyes.
"Listen buddy, your mom is insane, you should make her talk to me," He said loudly to her stomach. Hermione sighed and set the book on the table next to the bed and rolled her eyes at Draco.
"What?"
"I want to talk to you, is that much to ask for?" Draco asked leaning in to kiss her lips. Instead, Hermione raised her hand and his lips met with her hand. He sighed and put his hand on top of her stomach feeling the light kicks from their baby. He rested his head on top of her stomach and smiled wide. He loved the intimate feeling between him and Hermione. He also felt as if he were connecting with his child.
"What do you have for names?" Hermione asked Draco. He was deep in thought when she said this and he looked at her before realizing what she had said.
"Oh, I haven't the foggiest. Haven't given it much thought. Well, I have, but none of them seem right for our son," Draco said and she looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "I told you, it's going to be a boy. Us Malfoy men only have boys."
"Draco, what do I have to tell you over and over again. Anything is possible when it comes to gender possibilities. Did you know that there is a potion to guarantee a gender before you get pregnant. It's also a fertility potion. Your family probably used that to make sure of the all boy gender," Hermione said to him and his jaw dropped, "Your mom was rather hopeful, though. She had names picked out for girls and everything," Hermione said grabbing the baby name book off the table.
"Really what names?" Draco asked curiously. He lay down next to Hermione and rested his hand on top of her stomach as he watched her.
"Well, her number one name for a boy wasn't Draco, it was actually Christian. All the names on her lists seem rather ordinary compared to your name. Your name isn't even on the list," She said and Draco's eyes widened in surprise, "Your middle name is on here, though, Nicholas. It's her number two," Hermione said smiling at Draco, "Christian Nicholas," Hermione said aloud and smiled, "It's a beautiful combination," Hermione said and smiled.
"I like it better than Draco," Draco said and then let out a light laugh, "I do like it, though. It's a perfect name for our son. Christian Nicholas Malfoy," He said with a smile on his face, "Now we're done with names, let's do something!" He said clapping his hands and began to sit up.
"Oh no you don't Draco Nicholas!" Hermione yelled.
"You're middle name is Nicholas?" Harry said laughing. Meanwhile, Draco was shooting him daggers and told him to get lost.
"Draco, we have to pick out a girl's name. I must tell you, your mother has some of the most beautiful names I've seen," Hermione said with a large smile on her face, "This is one of my favorites, Amelia," Hermione said with a smile on her face. Draco pondered upon the name and smiled just a little. He could see a small, little girl with the biggest blue eyes and long, curly (like her mother's) blonde hair.
"I love it, love," Draco said pressing his lips to hers, "What about a middle name?"
"Hmmm… Mae, Rose, Noel, Charlotte, and Sarah," Hermione said reading names off the list, "What name do you think would best go with Amelia?"
"Well, if we were to give her, if it is a girl, which I doubt, I wouldn't give her Mae because the nickname would be Mia and therefore, I choose Rose," Draco said with a smile on his face.
"Amelia Rose Malfoy, es muy perfecto. It's perfect!" Hermione said smiling at Draco. He smiled and lightly lifted her shirt exposing her stomach. He placed gentle kisses on it. The baby began to kick Draco as he placed gentle kisses just above Hermione's belly button. Draco took out his wand and cast the spell that he was able to see the baby. He smiled upon seeing the baby.
"The baby's starting to look a bit crammed in there," Draco said and Hermione chuckled, "I suppose we were all that way, though," He said with a smile on his face. Hermione yawned lightly and glanced at the clock and it said 2:42 a.m.
"Good morning, good morning it's great to see ya, good morning," she said and Draco smiled, "It's from a Muggle movie I used to watch with my mum. It's called Singin' in the Rain. It's a great movie," Hermione said and Draco smiled at Hermione.
"I wish we had something like that. Sure, we have entertainment, but your lifestyle seemed to have more to do," Draco said rubbing Hermione's stomach.
"Hermione!" Harry said walking into the area again, "I've been thinking about how to kill horcruxes, and I am still lost, did you find anything yet?"
"Oh, yeah, I did Harry," Hermione said sitting up. Draco quickly cast the spell on her stomach making the image of their baby vanish. Hermione sat on the edge of the bed and attempted to get up. Draco went to help when she stopped him, "No, I can do it myself!"
"Hermione, I was just going to help you, no need to be so stubborn," Draco said and she glared at him and grunted whilst trying to push herself off the bed. Draco took her elbow and helped Hermione push herself off the bed.
"I'm useless," She muttered to herself as she grabbed a sheet of paper, "Okay, so I was thinking of the sword of Gryffindor since Dumbledore had left it to you in his will. I was researching it and its goblin made, Harry. It's takes in that which only makes it stronger," Hermione said.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Potter, it means what ever comes in contact with the sword it soaks in and makes it stronger, but it doesn't make much sense to me. How would it kill a horcrux?" Draco asked Hermione.
"In our second year when the Chamber of Secrets was opened, Harry had single handedly killed the basilisk in the chamber. The snake is highly venomous and when Harry had stabbed the snake with the sword-"
"The sword became stronger," Both Harry and Draco said together.
"That's brilliant, Hermione!" Harry said with a smile. Quickly, though, his smile had faded, "Only problem-"
The lights went out and went back on to reveal Ron standing there with the deluminator in his hand, "The sword was stolen. Yeah, I'm still here," Ron said with an utterly pissed off look on his face.
"Yeah," Harry said.
"Carry on your conversation while ignoring me like you always do. You go on without me; Malfoy seems to be more helpful than I am. You're only chumming up to him since well, he's knocked you up with his bastard child," Ron said and Draco's eyes and face flamed with anger. Draco walked over to him and threw a punch at him hitting him in the face.
"Don't you dare call my child that, Weasel!" Draco yelled at Ron, "Hermione has a lot more guts than you do!"
"Why is that, Malfoy?" Ron sneered.
"Ron, take the locket off, if you weren't wearing-"
"I don't take orders from a mudblood," Ron spat and Hermione took a step back in shock. She felt tears well in her eyes and spill over.
"Look now, Weasel! You've made her cry! You don't know when to stop do you?" Malfoy said and stepped closer to Ron, "Besides, she's risking her life and our child's life to help yours and Potter's asses!"
"Not my problem now is it?" Ron said, "You want the damn locket? Here, take it, I don't want anything to do with his kind! You're nothing more than a filthy spy anyway! How do I know you're not telling You-Know-Who what we're doing anyway?" Ron asked thrusting the locket in Draco's hands.
"Because I would never harm a hair on Hermione's or our child's heads do you hear me? I care about them too much to tell anyone! My mother has fled and I'm just as much wanted for death as you are!" Draco yelled and stood up, "I just want them to be safe."
"Fine," Ron said and crossed his arms, "But don't expect me to come crawling back to all your sorry asses when you all get yourselves killed," Ron said walking out the tent.
"Touché, Weasel!"
"Fuck you, Ferret!" Ron yelled back and they heard the pop from Ron disapparating to somewhere else. Hermione had her eyes closed and had tears running down her cheeks. She felt Draco's strong arms wrap around her and she made herself closer to him. She cried into his chest and he rubbed her back and comforted her.
"Next time I see the Weasel, I'm gonna kill him," Draco said to Harry once Hermione had finally fallen asleep, "I want to strangle him!"
"Malfoy, violence certainly isn't the answer," he said and the let out a sigh, "Besides, we have other things to worry about, like keeping Hermione and your kid safe. We also need to figure out how to kill this damn thing," He said throwing the locket on the table. Draco despised the object because it had a strange ticking noise, almost as if it were alive.
"Okay," Draco said, "I'm going to head home to my mother; she might have some other information. See you later, Potter," He said and began to step out of the tent, "Oh, and take care of my girl, will you?"
"Yeah, I will, Malfoy. I would never dream of letter Hermione getting hurt. It just about killed Ron and I during our second year when she was petrified. She's one of my best mates," Harry said and Draco smiled lightly at Harry and walked off disappearing to his mother's home somewhere safe and unknown.
A/N: Here is chapter 12, yay! So, I wanted the story to get moving a little and that's why I made a month or so pass. I'm just guessing here, but the time that Ron left as/had to be around October/November, correct? Because when Hermione and Harry were in Godric's Hollow, it was Christmas. Anyways, the good stuff comes after Godric's Hollow!
Today I FINALLY went school shopping. It was fun and I got almost everything I needed. I was a dork, and I saw Jonas Brothers folders and bought them =) I am a true dork in that sense. My mother even gave me a large eye roll! I also got two things I've been wanting/needing. I got the last copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part 2 Soundtrack from Barnes and Nobles as well as a sign language dictionary. My mum and I have been wanting to learn since we started watching Switched at Birth.
I have a funny story of the day! So today was the first time I have ever driven out to the mall and I was looking for B&N and kept getting lost. It took my Nan and I two phone calls to my mother to find B&N... it was amusing because my mom was making fun of Nan and I when we got home!
Review, my goal is to get to 100 soon!
