Hermione didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

On the one hand, she had always wanted a baby, but on the other, she was much too young. She still had to finish her education and find a job.

She currently had no way to support herself ou tin the real world, wizarding or muggle. In the muggle word they won't know that she had gotten an education beyond year 6.

She supposed that she could magic up so documents to convince them that she had a good schooling but the fact of the matter is that she had never learned maths past multiplication and division or history after Roman times.

She knew that Professor Dumbledore would probably have been more than willing to let her stay at Hogwarts for as long as she needed but she didn't fancy having to be reliant on someone else for her lively hood.

She had been mindlessly wandering the quiet corridors when a wave of noise overcame her. She realized that class had just gotten out and darted behind a tapestry into a little-known room with a couch, a desk, and a fluffy carpet.

She hadn't every been in her before but remembered passing it once and harry pointing it out on the map.

Before she could stop it a thought flashed across her mind, 'This would be a great snogging spot.'

That thought brought her to a halt. 'Shit… shit… SHIT… I'm gonna have to tell Draco.'

And then she was off, her mind running through countless scenarios, 'What if he hates it? What if he tells me to get rid of it?' That was one thing Hermione knew for sure.

She wanted to keep this baby.

That was when the rational part of her brain kicked in.

'Hermione, you're being silly. You just need to talk to him.' She knew that Harry and Ron would be in Herbology right now and that this would be as good of a time as any to talk to Draco.

Resolved she waited until all the noise in the hallways had died down before she took out the communication parchment she and Draco used and wrote 'second floor, behind the tapestry of Elenor of Aquitaine, next to the library. I have a surprise for you'

A couple of seconds later she felt the parchment buzz and saw that Draco had written 'on my way'

A minute later Draco stuck his head around the tapestry. "Hey Nia, did Pomfrey check you out and make sure you're ok?" he glanced around the room "this would be a great room for snogging"

Hermione laughed, "Oddly enough that was my first thought to"

Draco looked at her when she laughed. Usually, she had a full happy laugh that made everyone else want to laugh along with her but this time is was different. It seemed distant and half-hearted.

"You okay Nia? Tell me what's wrong." With that, he joined her on the couch and pulled her to his chest.

Hemione felt on the brink of tears again. Composing herself she sat up straight and said, as frankly as she could manage, "I'm pregnant Draco."

What followed was a silence so fragile a rain drop could have broken it. After while Draco was roused from his stupor "Pregnant? As in there is a baby in your stomach?"

"Yes" was Hermione's simple reply.

That's when Draco burst. "Fuck, fuck, you stupid fucking whore. How could you cheat on me that way? That baby can't be mine. We used protection every time. Besides, I can't have a baby with you. How could you do this to me?"

By the end of his speech, Hermione was once again in tears. "It's yours I promise, it's yours. Remember that time after the Halloween Feast." By this point, Hermione was more angry than sad. "And how could I do this to you? It takes two to tango buddy, but if this is how you feel then don't worry about it. You don't need to worry about having a baby with me because you're no longer with me!" And with that Hermione pulled the curtain aside and stormed out of the room
