I DO NOT OWN Harry Potter! Again this will be in Hermione's POV ;)
Thank you all for the reviews! You guys are amazing! :)
recap.
So you're pregnant" he whispered in my ear softly. "Yes" I replied tightening my arms around him. "Is it mine?" he asked hesitantly "Yes" I whispered again. Pulling back from me Draco looked into my eyes, seeing I was being honest he smiled. He smiled that smile that was so beautiful and only for me. The smile that I would agree to do anything to get to see it again.
He smiled My smile.
"I'm going to be a father!" Draco stated looked shocked yet happy.
"Yes you are, but if you don't want to have anything to do with our child I'll understand." I whispered stepping a few steps back. Draco stared at me for awhile like he was thinking of how to put what he was going to tell me and when he finally spoke I again had tears in my eyes.
"Mya, I would never leave my child. I would never leave you to do this on your own!" he said with determination "This baby is ours, yours and mine, and I would never leave it!" He finished grabbing my hand.
"I honestly don't understand Draco" I started looking at him confusedly yet happy that he wanted to stay. "Just a few months ago you hated me! You hated and called me names for years! Why all of a sudden do you care about me & now our baby!? You do realize the baby wont be a pureblood anymore right?! Because I'm a mudblood!" I said growing louder and louder by the end. Draco placed his hand over my mouth after I screamed out exactly what I was, exactly what he told me for years I was. He looked guilty and sad, oh the pain you could see in his eyes was something I would never want to see again. and then Draco told me his story.
He told me how when he was younger all he wanted to be was exactly like his father. How his father would do anything and everything for him. How he was spoiled,he got anything he wanted. Then when he turned ten his father started telling him about Purebloods, Halfbloods, Blood Traitors, and Mudbloods. He told him how Draco was the purest of the pure and anything below him was worth nothing and he should treat them as such. Draco believed everything his father told him because it was his father! And every little boy wants to grow up to be like their father! When he was sent to Hogwarts he told me that he did hate me… but I confused him also. Because mudbloods were supposed to be nothing right? Yet here I was top of my class and friends with the boy who lived to boot! I also had proper manners. He was even more confused about that stating "If you were worth nothing then why would you act with manners, treat everyone with kindness, and yet you still had the haughty I'm better than you look!" Then in third year I hit him. I hit him, A Malfoy. I wasn't even supposed to touch him and yet I had broken his nose. He said he started looking at me with interest then. He still didn't like me but he also didn't hate me. That's why right before fourth year he gave me that warning… Well atleast he says it was a warning…He told me he had gotten this unwanted feeling of me having to be safe. He didn't understand it why would I be giving him such feelings? He got more and more curious of me as the months went by. He told me he knew he liked me when I came to the Yule ball on the arm of one Viktor Krum.
"I've never hated someone so much in my life" He stated with a smile at me. He also told me that when the year was ending he noticed that his father changed. He no longer would talk, help, or just be there for Draco. He was no longer a father to him just someone that lived in the same house. Then one night Draco was walking to the kitchen when he saw a lot of people with black cloaks and masks sitting in his dining room. That was when his father told him that he would be one of them some day and he took Draco on his first 'field trip'.
"I saw so many muggles and mud—err muggleborns tortured, raped and killed it made me sick!" He told me how his father took him on five more before he finally had the guts to tell him he didn't want to go anymore. His father then tortured him and looked through his mind. "He taunted me about how I was infatuated with a mudblood and how she would die". Draco said "He told me if I ever got close to you he would rape you in front of me then give you to the rest of his pals" That's why he was mean to me in fifth year and why he was on the inquisitorial squad so he would have a reason to watch me. He told my that was also the year he decided he didn't ever want to be like his father if it meant doing the things he did. He told me sixth year was a blur to him all he could remember was he had to keep his Mother safe. Voldemort told him he would kill her if he didn't do his "Duty"
"My mother was the only person I had every really loved I couldn't let that thing take her from me" he said fiercely. But then he stated something that shocked and awed me. Something I had no idea what I would say back. He told me..
"I was worrying about you the entire time you were on your quest. I was also worrying about myself and my mother because Voldemort was living in our house! But you were top priority on my mind, Which again shocked me" he said with a hint of a smile. I thought that was all, I mean come on that shocked me too! I was speechless! He worried about me the entire time! Oh but then he dropped the big bombshell
"It wasn't until you were taking to the manor and tortured by my aunt that I knew" Knew what?! I was thinking. He just sat there for awhile looking at me confused face before he again started.
"I told my mother I was going to get you out of there no matter what it took. She reminded me that Aunt Bella would have no problem killing you in front of me then killing me so I would be no help to anybody. Sitting, watching you screaming in pain and I could do NOTHING about it, it killed me! I wanted to get you out of there so bad but my mother was right and I knew she was." He again paused before he spoke in a whisper in which I barely heard
"That was when I knew I was in love with you. I hated seeing you in pain, I would rather have put myself in your place! Me, Draco Malfoy, wanting to put someone else's life before his! Besides my mother, you were the only person I would do that for. and yeah I knew it then and I still feel it now…"
"I love you"
"But don't worry you don't have to say it back yet!" He quickly cut in "But I'm just telling you now I will make you fall in love with me" I know my mouth was hanging wide open I mean I could feel it! Draco Malfoy just said he loved me! Draco Malfoy just said he loved ME!
Of course I didn't think I loved him… maybe I did I wasn't sure yet. But I wasn't going to tell him that!
I would like to see just how he was going to make me fall in love with him!
