Hermoine's POV
The week at the manor hadn't been too bad. I was frightened at first because of Narcissa's initial reaction to the news but when she visited my room later on and told me how she felt we actually bonded, I think.
Draco and I had grown a little closer, although that kiss didn't happen again.
We hadn't really talked much since our return to hogwarts but I could sense that he was thinking about something for a while now.
"Mione?"
" I'm in my room."
"So.." Ginny asked as she came in.
"So what?"
" Well, how was you 'vacation' at the Malfoy manor?"
" Not too bad..." I said smiling.
" Oh merlin, you shagged him again didn't you!"
"Merlin no!" I sighed. " but we kissed.."
" Well, what's next? You're going to get to know eachother?"
"What... Ginny?" I replied confused.
" Well you're doing everything backwards, so I asumed that's what followed."
" I don't really know him... All I know is bad things about him, the things we used to hate him for and well some of us still do."
"I'm guessing Ron doesn't know yet."
"No, Telling Harry was hard enough. At least Harry is the sensible one, Ron's head would probably blow up."
" I'd like to see that happen, weasel all over the place."
I turned around to see Draco leaning against the wall.
" Excuse me, that's my brother you're talking about." Ginny replied.
" Excuse accepted She-weasel, you can't help it that he's your brother."
I could see Ginny's face turn as red as her hair.
" Uhm Ginny, maybe you should go. We'll catch up another time."
"Fine!" Ginny replied before she got up and left.
" Who has gotten her knickers in a twist?"
" Appareantly you have..." I drawled which made him smirk. Merlin that's so sexy when he does that.
He held up his hands in surrender. "I just came by to see how you were doing."
I smiled.
" And to ask you something." He continued softly.
" Merlin, I knew this visit couldn't be without motive."
" Yeah, it's just ... you know.."
"Yes?"
" Hermoine, since we're having a baby together and all... maybe we should spend some time together, getting to know eachother..."
" I think that's a great idea" I replied smiling at him.
His face lit up as he smiled back at me, a real smile graced his lips.
I could practically feel the butterflies in my stomach...
Wait a minute.. those aren't butterflies...
"Draco! The baby is kicking!" I said happily.
I took his hand and put it on my swollen stomach, under my shirt. " Can you feel it?"
He seemed a little confused by the sudden contact with my bare skin but got over it quickly when the baby kicked again.
" Is that the baby?" he asked.
" Yes draco, that's our son." I replied smiling at him.
" you keep kicking Draco Jr. , daddy's right here." He said to my stomach.
" Uhm, I think we'll have to discuss that first."
"Discuss what?" He replied innnocently.
" Draco Jr." I said sarcasticly.
" What's wrong with my name, I like my name. My mother gave it to me."
" Yeah well... I like your name on you but maybe we could consider something different for our son, I mean do you really want to share your precious first name?" I tried.
" I'll share anthing with this kid." He replied confidently.
Oh merlin... this is going to take a while...
We walked into the great hall together, I gave Draco one last smile before we both went to our own house table.
I joined Ginny and Harry at our table where dinner was being served.
Suddenly the doors opened with a smash.
" Hermoine, are you completely bonkers? How could you? You're smarter than this! " Ron came in ranting and pushing everyone out of his way.
" I could've expected this from Lavender or even Ginny but you? Hermoine? Pregnant? Really?"
I just sat there looking shocked.
" Ron!" Ginny hissed. " Could you keep it down? You're making a scene!"
" Whose is it?" Ron hissed back.
I was at loss for words. How did he know? I searched for Draco's face in the crowd staring at me but I couldn't find him.
" Whose is it?" Ron yelled this time.
" Mine" I heard a deep voice behind me answer Ron's question.
" Malfoy!"
I could feel everybody's eyes burned on the scene that was enfolding in front of me but I just couldn't look up. I felt a hand soothingly rub my back.
" Don't you touch her!"
" I already did you idiot, how do you think she got pregnant?" I heard Draco say as I felt his hand tense on my back for just a second.
" Bollocks, Hermoine would never let you touch her. Stupid prick"
" Ron!" I yelled finally finding my voice again. I looked up at Draco and turned to Ron.
" Whoever I choose to touch or not, is none of your bussiness... " I replied hitting a nerve with Ron. I could see it on his face. " Just because I wouldn't let you lay a hand on me doesn't mean I wouldn't let Draco."
Ron was fuming by now but I could still feel Draco's hand on my back and it gave me the strenght to continue.
" You're just mad because Draco got something you know you could never have."
" He probably raped you or something."
" Trust me, it all happened with full consent." Draco smirked. "From both sides."
" Like you would ever willingly touch that Mudblood, Draco you must be kidding." Pansy Parkinson suddenly interjected.
" I'd rather touch her then you pugface."
" You're just saying that 'cause she's carrying your halfblood spawn. You wouldn't even have bothered to look at her twice before."
" You take that back!" Draco shouted moving in front of me now.
" I will not have you talking about my son or his mother in that way. The same goes for you weasel. Do you understand?" He said shutting Ron up before he could even try to make a comment.
" Hermoine, I think we should head back to our dorm now."
" I agree." I replied before I took his hand and we left the great hall leaving everyone else to stare at our retreating form.
I'm not going to make any excuses, I've been away from this story for a long long time and I'm very sorry. I'll try to update more often again but I can't promise anything but " I'll try". Hope you like the chapter, It didn't turn out exactly like I wanted it too but I can live with it...
