Draco was silent all night. He hadn't said a word not even to his son. He had put baby Draco into his tiny bed and was sitting staring at Hermione's face. He was exhausted and hungry and felt himself getting weaker and weaker and yet he didn't care. Hermione slept all the next day and it was on the fourth day he felt himself slipping. He felt his head go down onto the bed next to where their hands were still intertwined and woke up to see himself in a bed with a plate of food and potion sitting next to him and he felt he couldn't move. Seeing him awake Madam Pomfrey rushed to his side and removed the bind and began explaining what happened.

"You finally fell asleep because your body and mind were so exhausted and you began screaming in your sleep. You woke up Hermione she was very worried." Seeing his face she quickly continued. "She's fine and recovering well. Her concussion is fine and she will have enough strength to leave the hospital in the morning. The baby is well also. He's napping. I've prepared food for you and have been forcefully giving you a dreamless drought so you could sleep in peace. You should eat something now and then I want you to sleep some more."

He shook his head. "I said I wouldn't leave her and you made me leave her."

"You didn't leave me Draco."

Turning he saw Hermione's bed next to his and she was looking at him with wide worried eyes. "Please eat something and go to bed. For me and for the baby." He shook his head and watched a tear run down her face and finally he began to eat. Slowly at first and faster when he realized how hungry he really was. When he was finally full he sank on the pillows and began to close his eyes.

"Will you be here when I wake up?"

Hermione smiled and spoke his words back to him. "I'm not going anywhere."

Smiling he closed his eyes and let sleep envelop him. He didn't wake up until the next day and he saw Hermione holding the baby and feeding him. Looking around he saw the others watching tiredly. Finally she stood up with the baby cradled in her arms and looked at him. "Are you coming or are you going to stay in bed all day?"

He gave her a grin before standing up and walking with her back to the common room and wasn't surprised that her friends all followed. He felt overwhelming relief that everyone was alright and began hoping that everything would be ok from now on, but knew that would probably take awhile for that to happen. He had had to ask Madam Pomprey for a supply of dreamless drought to keep the nightmares at bay and he could hear Hermione whimpering in her sleep at night.

Dumbledore had said that the next day they would go back to school and the baby would stay with him until they got out of class. Hermione and Draco instantly approved since there was no other place the baby would be safer. Hermione felt tears coming every time she thought about what Dumbledore was doing for her and her family. She was looking foreword to going back to school. She was really beginning to miss it. She knew that the school had probably heard something but was sure that the story couldn't possibly have been the truth so she wasn't worried about gossip.

That quickly changed however when she sat down to breakfast the next morning. As soon as she entered the Great Hall she saw everyone staring at her. Looking at Dumbledore then Draco she saw they knew something was wrong as they were both staring at her concerned. She felt Ginny take her hand and Harry wrap a protective arm around her and she began to feel nauseous.

What was happening? Looking over at Dumbledore again she saw him nod to the left of him and knew that's where her baby was. Letting out a sigh of relief she began to eat until she was stopped by a third year hufflepuff walking by who said.

"Looks like Ms. Perfect is nothing more than a huge tramp. Seriously you're the 'brightest witch of our age' and you couldn't cast a contraceptive spell?" Hermione opened her mouth then closed it again.

Looking around the hall she saw judgmental stares and heard people whispering and pointing.

This isn't happening. This isn't happening. How do they know? I was so careful. I…I….

She looked at her plate cheeks flaming and heard the girl walk off laughing. She ate quickly and stood up only to hear someone shout out.

"Slut!" Instantly Hermione spun around only to see a Professor walking off with Pansy. Hermione shot a look at Draco for help but he was just sitting there looking shocked. Finally after hearing others call out things as well she ran out of the Great Hall. Harry and her friends right on her heels.

By the end of the day Ron and Harry had sent two people to the hospital wing for defending Hermione and Lavender and Ginny had sent three and been sent themselves. Hermione had locked herself in her common room crying and Draco was nowhere to be seen. That was making Hermione madder than anything.

When he did open the door, Hermione was sitting with her friends and the baby and she was hiccupping from crying so much. Draco began to apologize but she cut him off asking.

"Where were you all day? Why didn't you help this morning?"

"I was asking Dumbledore what could be done and getting more drought." Hermione looked at him not saying anything and finally collapsed her head on Ginny's shoulder while Lavender held her and whispered nice things. Shaking her head she said she was going to bed and they could stay if they wanted.

It continued like that all week. Finally people began shunning Hermione and it was then that Draco decided to take action and say something. They were sitting in the Great Hall and no one was talking to Hermione and finally Draco stood up on the bench and yelled.

"Hey!"

Everyone turned to stare and Professor Snape stood up to stop him and Professor McGonagal and Dumbledore sat him back down.

"Your all a bunch of hypocrites. Nice to her one minute horrid the next! She's helped everyone in here in someway or another and now you turn your back on her huh? Bunch of pathetic little kids you are!"

He heard people beginning to yell at him until Harry shouted.

"Shut up and let him talk!"

Draco smiled at Harry who smiled back and they looked around to see the hall silent in surprise that Harry would defend his rival.

"So if your going to be asses to Hermione then don't talk to me either okay? Because guess what?" Here he looked at Hermione and smiled and saw her eyes go wider than they already were.

"I love that woman!"

Gasps were heard all throughout the hall and Hermione had tears running down her cheeks. Ginny and Lavender were holding her hands tight and Harry and Ron looked at each other and nodded before holding on to.

"So if you don't like her don't like me either ok? Cuz that kid is mine."

And that's the chapter hope you like and please review. And stick around cuz there's a lot more drama in the next one.
