Ron stepped foreword when he heard Hermione whimper again. Madam Pompfrey came back into the room and took one look at the boys before muttering under her breath. Harry instantly stood up demanding what happened and Draco smirked cockily before saying,"I kicked weasel's ass." Harry sprang forword but before he could land a punch they heard Hermione and Madam Pomfrey.

"Stop!" Harry dropped his hand looking over at the curtain. Madam Pompfrey came out with a glass filled with clear liquid and went behind the curtain and heard her gently coaxing Hermione to drink. When she came back out she healed Ron who was trying to ask questions but Madam Pomfrey didn't answer. When she was done she explained that they should let Hermione get her rest. Ron instantly began to protest until Harry agreed saying it was for the best. Ron shook his head again and Harry took his arm and began leading him out. When they were gone she walked over to Hermione not realizing Draco was behind her.

When he saw her he gasped. She was pale and her chest was rising and falling slowly. Instantly Madam Pomfrey guided him away not even wondering why he had followed her. Healing his face as well she quickly dismissed him and he slowly walked out the door. He went to his common room not bothering to go to the rest of his classes and not caring what people would say. He went to his room and laid on his bed before feeling a tear escape.

Walking to his window he looked out at the sky. Instantly Hermione's smiling face came into his mind. Sighing he felt another tear escape and this time he didn't bother to wipe it away. He stayed out on his balcony until the sun set and the sky went dark. Hearing someone calling him on the other side of the portal was the thing that finally moved him. Walking to the bathroom and washing his face he went downstairs and opened the door to see Blaise on the other side of it looking worried. Draco motioned for him to come in and they sat down before Blaise asked what happened. Draco shook his head. Blaise frowned but said nothing and they sat in silence. Finally Blaise said he needed to eat something and pulled him up so they could go to dinner. Draco let himself be lead to the Great Hall and still said nothing. Blaise was getting worried but he said nothing either.

Draco wasn't eating and he was ignoring Pansy talking to him. After ten minutes of silence Blaise tried again to engage him in conversation. He didn't answer. It was like Draco was shut down. Pansy was undaunted. "Drakey poo, come on. Why don't you let me make you feel better." She put her hand on his thigh only to have him growl. Instantly she snapped her hand back. Standing up he began to leave the hall when he heard Pansy try one more time, "Come on Drake, you know what I can do to make you feel good."

Sighing in frusteration he asked, "What spread your legs for any guy in Slytherin?" Blaise looked shocked before he started laughing and Pansy shreiked in outrage before attempting to slap Draco in the face. Dogding her hand he finally left and when he got to the common room he went to his room and smiled. He knew what he could do for Hermione. After he finished the neccessary spells. He snuck out of the common room and went to Madam Pomfrey's knowing they were all at dinner. When he got there he slipped a note in her hand and placed his present by her table before kissing her soundly on the mouth and hearing her moan softly before opening her eyes. A smile graced her lips and she touched his face gently with the hand that wasn't holding the note.

"I love you Draco. And the baby is ok. He's ok." Smiling down at her he kissed her again feeling his heart finally relax. Thank Merlin his son was ok.

"I love you too Hermione. Get some rest and I'll try to come back tomorow. Read your note when you wake up ok?" Nodding she kissed him once more before slowly closing her eyes again and falling asleep. Sneaking back out he headed to the common room and promptly fell asleep on the couch. When he woke up he looked for Hermione before remembering she wasn't there. Feeling his heart clench painfully he stood up, showered, and changed before heading to the Great Hall for breakfast. When he got there he saw Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle walking to the Gryffindor table.

"Poor little Mudblood still in the hospital wing? You'd think she'd be smart enough to counter curse it but she is a filthy mudblood right?" Ginny stood up and got in Pansy's face and heard Ron gasp in shock as Lavender stood up too. Ginny looked at Lavender questioningly before smiling. Pansy smirked before saying, "Wow if even the Gryffindor whore is defending mudbloods. Truley pathetic."

"Your the whore. Spreading your legs for all the slytherins, not to mention half their brothers. It's amazing you haven't been to Madam Pomfrey." Everyone looked at Lavender in shock. She was the last person they thought would be defending Hermione. Pansy slammed her fist into Lavender's eye before opening her mouth to speak again but she never got the chance because Lavender's fist met her jaw. Instantly Pansy began swinging and soon they were a tangeled mass on the floor. Instantly Draco pulled Pansy off Lavender and Ron and Ginny were holding Lavender back from Pansy. Finally Pansy stalked out of the hall and Lavender sat down at her chair seeing the professors talking about punishement. Ron wet a napkin and begana wiping the cut on her cheek before pulling back and staring at her.

Lavender met his eyes slowly and he asked, "Why?I thought you hated Hermione." She shook her head before placing her fingers on her lips to stop him from responding.

"I was losing you and it made me think. You cheated but i was the other woman. It made me resent Hermione because she got to be yours beyond a broom closet. That's why i was so nasty to her. I could see that you still care and it makes me jealous. But when she went into the hospital and i heard about your fight with the ferret it made me realize I was wrong." Taking a breath she looked at Ron, Ginny, and Harry, before saying, "I'm sorry." Harry and Ginny looked at eachother for a long moment before Ginny finally responded.

"You need to apologize to Hermione. But I'll forgive you especially after you beat Pansy's ass." The group laughed before Ron spoke.

"I forgive you Lav." Smiling Lavender suggested they go to Hermione now so she could apologize. Getting up they began walking to the hospital wing.

Draco had left the hall after Pansy with Blaise and they were trying to calm her down. Draco didn't care but he didn't want her hurting Hermione further when she was released. Seeing that Blaise had her subdued he nodded at him before Blaise nodded back and went back to the Great Hall to eat breakfast.

Hermione smiled when she woke up and gently pulled her note out of her sleeve. She gasped softly as she read the words and felt tears spring to her eyes.

Hermione,

I'm so sorry I didn't protect you better. If I hadn't said we had to be a secret, I could've protected you. I blame myself and I'm so sorry. I love you so much baby. I promise when you get out of there we can do watever you want. Even go public. I love you and I want to be with you forever and do whatever it takes to make you happy. I love you.

Draco

"Draco." Hermione whispered before tucking the note back in her sleeve. She felt a tear slide down her cheek. Then she looked at the table next to her and gasped again. There was a huge bouquet of red roses. But they had been charmed to shimmer and shine before blooming to their full capacity. They were wrapped in a golden ribbon that was also shimmering and Hermione was crying freely now. She couldn't believe he'd been so sweet. Hearing voices she wiped her eyes and looked at the door. Sometime in the night Madam Pompfrey must have decided she was well enough to remove the curtain and she smiled when she saw Harry and Ginny and offered a smaller smile to Ron and Lavender before noticing Lavender's cheek was swollen and her eye was bruised.

Sitting up she asked what happened. Lavender shook her head before sitting on the bed at her feet and saying softly, "Hermione, I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I love Ron and was jealous that he still cared about you. I was stupid to think he'd dump seven years of friendship and I was wrong to try and make him. Please forgive me." Hermione sat back before meeting Lavender's eyes. She didn't say anything so Lavender pushed ahead and said,"I beat up Pansy, when she called you a mudblood. Not that I expect you to forgive me because of that." She added quickly. Hermione smiled and motioned for Lavender to come over to her. Lavender did and Hermione raised her hand to slap her before stopping.

"I should slap you. But I'm not going to. I forgive you." Lavender smiled and hugged Hermione gently and sat back. Ron, Harry and Ginny, leaned on the bed as well. Hermione smiled thinking maybe now things could be normal. They visited for awhile then asked when she could leave. Madam Pompfrey came up behind them and said she'd be in the Great Hall by dinner. Handing Hermione a cup she helped her drink and smiled warmly at her before leaving again. Her friends smiled before saying they needed to get to breakfast before class and hugged her before leaving.

Draco wasn't very hungry but he forced himself to eat. He was deep in thought. Hearing a screech from an owl he looked up to see his owl dropping a prophet in front of him. Looking at the cover he gasped as cold fear struck his body. He blinked twice looking at the headline again and made sure he read it right. Breathing shallowly he swallowed before staring at his father on the front page.
