A/N- Hey everybody, this is ur author speaking. I'm sorry if this chapter is gonna take longer. I had to use all of my Study hall talking to the school guidence counseler. I guess I have been being too loud in english class. I just started this school last Tuesday(today is April 26th) and I don't like it here. My old school was so much better. I actually have to do my work.lol.In my old school, we had fun while doing our work. I wish I could go back so bad. I miss it so much. I didn't realize how good it was untill I left. My freinds need me too. I HATE IT HERE! The only plus side is that I get to write in here. The people here are SO snobby. Alot of people would say that this school was better, but it's not. South High really isn't a bad school. Well, I will get back to the story I guess. (this school even has e-mail blocked, how lame).


Still the cross

They walked silently down the halls of Hogwarts. Not speaking a word of anything that had just happened. Before they knew it they were at the doors of their dinner fate. They stood there for about five minutes before Draco finally broke the silence."Well, here we go." He opened the door for about an inch. Then all the way, revealing him and Hermione. They started walking to the front. This would be their first dinner since the start of year feast. They were to sit up at the front with the school professors. The were about five feet in the door when everybody got quiet. All eyes were on them. They walked a little faster but not much. Before he knew what he was doing, Draco went to hold Hermione's hand. Again, he felt like a magnet. He tried to pull away from her hand, but he couldn't. They just kept walking, hand in hand, up to the front of the grand hall. Little did they know, a certain teacher was watching them with as big of a smile as he would give.

a/n- sorry! I stopped right there. I knew what I wanted to write butI didn't know how to put it into words. lol. the rest or this chapter was written at least a month after it started.)

"Draco..everyone is staring at us," Hermione wispered.

"I know love, thats the point."

"Don't call me that! I am NOT your love. This is strictly for buisness."

"Granger, for once in your life, don't be such a bookworm. It was a joke. You know...ha-ha."

Hermione and Draco went their seperate ways to sit with their freinds with their questioning looks. They occasionaly glanced each others ways but quickly turned when noticing they were in turn being stared at. Dinner continued this way untill Dumbledore stood up and announced that dinner was close to over and stated that lights were to be out by 11 p.m. Hermione, being small, was able to run away from the commotion and hide in her room a long while before Draco came back. Draco searched for the top of the short girls curly chestnut brown hair. She was nowhere to be found.

Hermione went up to her and Malfoy's dorm and heard someone crying. At first she didn't realize who it was, but then she remembered that Draco's baby sister was supposed to arrive tonight.

"OH! I can't beleive I forgot." She ran up the few stairs that led up to the living room and saw the baby on the windowsill in carseat. It wasn't like the ones they used in the muggle world. The were the same shape but had hats, moons, stars, wands, and many other things resembling the wizarding world. She walked over the baby and picked it up out of it's seat. She comforted it as much as she could and still it did not stop crying. It had all the features that she thought wonderful in Malfoy. His beautiful blue eyes, and sexy blond locks of hair. She changed it's diaper and it calmed a bit but was still crying. Somehow she thought maybe the little baby understood that she would never see her parents again. Before she realized it she was singing the song that her mom used to sing to her everytime something affected her when something emotional happened. She didn't know it but there was a certain blond hair, blue eyed teenage boy siting outside the door listening. (a/n-you might want to actually read these lyrics rather than skip them, better yet, find it and listen to it. It will make you feel better.)

"Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us

We fear it all my one day come undone

We can't forget the One who came before us

To forgive the past and bring hope for what's to come

When it all comes crashing down

The cross still stands alone

And on this our faith is built

And our courage is made strong

When the world falls apart

And you fear for your heart

There's a tower of peace

It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor

And your longing for more

To the place of relief

It's still the cross

There is hope for the lost

It's still the cross

Sometimes it seems that I have been forgotten

I don't know how I will make it on my own

But the One who said I will never be forsaken

He still hears my prayer and I will never be alone

When it all comes crashing down

The cross still stands alone

And on this my faith is built

And my courage is made strong

When the world falls apart

And you fear for your heart

There's a tower of peace

It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor

And your longing for more

To the place of relief

It's still the cross

There is hope for the lost

It's still the cross

Though the world may not confess

You and Your holiness

One day all will see

You in all Your majesty

And the cross will stand alone

As the place where You made known

Your love for all mankind

Till then in it we'll hide"

Hermione's voice then became softer as Draco realized he was crying at this last part of the song.

"When the world falls apart

And you fear for your heart

There's a tower of peace

It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor

And your longing for more

To the place of relief

It's still the cross

There is hope for the lost When your world falls apart

And you fear for your heart

There's a tower of peace

It's still the cross

So bring your sick and your poor

And your longing for more

To the place of relief

It's still the cross

There is hope for the lost

It's still the cross

It's still...the cross"

Hermione finished the song and noticed tht the baby was sleeping peacfully and took her to the nursery that Dumbledore had added on for her. She set her soflty in the crib and walked back into the living room. She remembered that she left the door open when she came in here for the baby. She walked down the three stairs and noticed someone sitting outside with their knees up to their chest against the wall. She knew that it could only be Draco. She looked down the hall and saw someone standing there but quickly ran off when they knew they were spotted.

"Oh, great. The whole school heard me." She thought to herself. Little did she know, they did. Many teachers and students sat listening to her sing those beautiul and some were even shedding a tear or two. But only three people really knew who it was that was serenading them. Draco, his sister, and the mysterious man down the hall.

Hermione sat next to Malfoy and tried to comfort him. He looked at her into her gourgeous eyes and saw that she realy wanted to help him. She didn't even realize she was staring at him with eagerness untill he hugged her tightly and went into his sisters, his new daugters, nursery and hummed the beautiful song to her as he brushed the hair from her face.

Hermione had never seen Malfoy this way before. She didn't know how to react. Malfoy came up behind her and put his arms around her stomach.

"You know Hermione, nobody has ever made me feel this emotional about anything. I never thought about it before, but what if it really was fate that we..."


A/N- uh oh...what stopped Draco from finishing his statement. Sorry it took so long for an update. Well, there you have it.
