Draco looked down at Hermione who still had her eyes closed. He sighed and decided something had to be done.
"Hermione, will you see a medi-witch? This can't be good for the baby" said Draco.
Hermione looked up at Draco for a minute thinking. She looked back down towards the floor.
"Yeah, you're right" said Hermione giving in only because she hated the morning sickness.
Draco smirked. It wasn't often Hermione admitted or agreed that he was right!
"I want to talk to Dumbledore, he needs to know. We are going to need to go to these medi witches. I don't want them to come here. Word will get out to fast. The whole school doesn't need to know" said Draco.
"Fine, but only because I don't want someone walking in while the medi witch is here, and don't you dare think you can brag to anyone about you having your way!" fumed Hermione.
She stood up and walked out the bathroom storming to her room. Draco got up, running after her.
"Where do you think you're going!" fumed Draco.
"To my room! Where else to you think I would go?!" fumed Hermione.
"To the library?! We're going to see Dumbledore now and then we're going to see a medi witch today" commanded Draco.
"I'll go with you to talk to Dumbledore but we're not going to see the medi witch today. Tomorrow as good as any other day" said Hermione.
"Well hurry up then. Stop standing there and glaring at me and start for the headmaster's office" said Draco hotly storming out the common room door, waiting for Hermione to join him.
Hermione came storming out of the common room door. She stopped and glared at Draco. "You're not my father, and you're certainly not my husband. You have no right to command me to do anything" said Hermione. She turned around and headed down the hall at a fast pace abandoning Draco in front of the common room entrance.
'How dare he order me around like I'm some sort of slave! He had no right! I know he meant well, but he can't have everything his way' thought Hermione.
Draco stormed after Hermione. 'I shouldn't have commanded her to do what I say. I should have known she wouldn't listen. Stupid stubborn witch' thought Draco smirking.
He caught up to Hermione just as she reached the headmaster's door. She said the password and he followed her up the moving staircase. He stood behind her as she knocked on the door.
"Come in" called Dumbledore.
Hermione and Draco opened the door to his office and stepped inside. Hermione walked up to his desk and stopped. She looked over at Draco waiting for him to speak first. Dumbledore looked over at Hermione and then over at Draco with a tinkle in his eye.
"Yes, Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger?" asked Dumbledore.
"Well sir, we were hoping you would grant us permission to leave campus" asked Draco deciding to be a bit straight forward.
"You know students aren't allowed off campus except the few days to hogsmead" said Dumbledore looking at Draco waiting for him to explain.
"I read somewhere that once a student turns 17 he can leave campus. As you know I'm already 17. I'm second in all my classes" said Draco glaring over at Hermione who was still first in their year.
"Hermione and I have a personal matter we need to oversee but that requires us to leave campus" said Draco.
"Sir, we promise we won't slack off in any our classes or head duties. We just ask to be able to leave at least once a week to over see this matter" asked Hermione, cutting in.
Dumbledore glanced between the two between for a few moments and smiled.
"Ah, well I suppose there isn't any reason to stop you from going off campus. We can bend the rules just this once. Hermione dear, you haven't been looking to well these past few weeks" asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, well, I've been Ill. I'm feeling better but Malfoy insists I see a medi witch" said Hermione.
"She's pregnant sir" said Draco. Hermione turned and glared at Draco.
"Well then certainly! No wonder you haven't looked well Miss Granger. I think this calls for a celebration! Will you be holding a baby shower Miss Granger?" asked Dumbledore smiling with that twinkle in his eye.
"S..sir, that is entirely too far in advance. I just found out today as it is" stammered Hermione blushing.
"Well then, you'll have too. If you need anything, you may come to me, and I might suggest you tell Madam Pomfrey. You might be interested in some herbs or potions" said Dumbledore as he stood up.
"I do suggest you write to your parents for some money and supplies and tell them of this news. Why don't you get Hermione something while you're at it" suggested Dumbledore.
"Yes sir, we will" said Draco turning around and leaving the headmasters office followed by Hermione. They went down the moving staircase and walked down the Hall.
"See that wasn't so bad. Now we will only see the best of healers and medi witches. I'll send out a letter to my mother for her to send me information. She'll know who to see" said Draco smiling smugly.
"You promised not to tell your parents" said Hermione.
"I lied and besides you heard what Dumbledore said. Tell our parents, and do as the Headmaster says we will" said Draco with a slight bounce to his step with Hermione glaring after him.
