"Twins," the doctor said in a cheerful, cherry voice.
"Tw-twins," I repeated, shocked for obvious reasons and scarred as to how they will be treated and taught.
"Yes, is there a problem?" she asked losing a little excitement.
"Can I talk to you privately?" I asked, solemnly.
"Sure," she answered walking into the hallway.
"So, what do you want to ask?"
"Ummm…. Is there anyway that I could make sure my mum doesn't get to keep the children and that my dad gets to keep them, after they are born? I know it sounds horrible, but my mum is very unstable," I said.
"Yes, you would have to prove in a court that your mom is not stable to take care of the kids. And as for the other question, we could put her in a hospital until the children are born and then once they are born we can release her to her own life and- after seeing the from that proves she is not stable to take on the kids- release the kids to your dad," the kind doctor lady said.
"Okay," I said smiling at the 20 or so year old doctor.
"Okay," she said back, then walked into the room to tell my mum.
I stayed outside the room. My mum took it better than I thought she would. After the doctor finished telling her the plan, all she did was nod, just proving my point that she didn't want us. I thought that there would at lest be a 'no' but, there wasn't even that. I, then left the doctors office and got into the car with my dad- who was still shocked.
"What did the doctor say?" Tim, or my dad asked.
"Well, that the children are doing okay and they're twins," I said, shocking my dad even more than before.
"I knew something didn't feel right," my dad murmured under his breath to were I barely herd him. I didn't comment on it, instead I looked out the window until we got home. That's when I remembered the plan I had made with the doctor.
"Oh, dad I forgot to tell you. Mum is in the hospital and is staying there until the twins are born so that she doesn't kill them and/or herself. And after they're born, you get to keep them as long as we can prove that she is not in a stable position to take on two babies," I said to my father.
I then ran inside to tell Craig and Mike. They took it pretty well, or they took it pretty well compared to dad. I then left them, running downstairs to my awesome room.
"Can I come in?" Draco asked in a polite voice.
"Yeah," I said reading a book.
"Hey, I have two things to tell you," he said entering my room and coming to sit on my bed next to me.
"What?" I said turning and putting my bookmark in my book to put my full attention onto him.
"Well I'm in the ministry. I've been part of it since last year," Draco said looking guilty.
"Oh, well that changes a lot of things," I said mostly to myself.
"And…. He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named is back," he said to were it was barely hearable.
"He-he can't be. I watched Harry kill him. It isn't possible to just come back alive…" I babbled on.
"This time he can back as Tom Riddle Jr., his son or his memory, whatever you want to call it. But also the reason that I was attacked was because me and Tom must fight for your love and if I succeed, it means that He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named will be killed for the rest of forever," Draco said, taking a deep breath as if this were hard for him to tell me.
"And if I succeed the prophecy says that the opposite person (being Draco) will have more than one child. One of there many children will be the Dark lord trying to come back. Which means if I win and marry you and we have three kids, one of them will be the Dark Lord coming back. And that means you will have to kill the child so that the Dark Lord doesn't come back. You will also be accompanied to kill the child with your spouse and the first person you said 'I love you' to. So, lets say our oldest child is the Dark Lord coming back. You would have to kill that child along with me and the first person you said 'I love you' to- If the person is dead you move onto the next and it can't be a relative," Draco finished admitting.
I took in a deep breath and broke down into tears as the breath came out. Draco wrapped me into a big hug, comforting me.
"I've only told one person that I love them and they're dead," I said, still shaking with sobs.
"Who?" Draco asked quietly and softly.
"Blaise Zabini, he was my first really true love," I said, shaking harder- if it was possible.
"Oh, okay," Draco said, with alittle disappointment in his voice. That's when I realized that I had told him one of my most well kept secret that I hadn't even told my closest friend..
"You can't tell anyone about me and Blaise or I swear, I will kill you," I said with an as good as empty threat.
"Okay, I won't tell. Now are you okay?" he asked with worry in his voice.
"Yeah I'll be fine," I said, I had mostly stopped crying and now I was just thinking about my other best kept secret, which is: me and Blaise had continued being friends but, then realized we were still in love with each other so, we started dating and last month he proposed to me saying we could get married after school, I agreed and now he's dead. That's my best kept secret, Blaise was my fiancé.
"My dad didn't even know I was going to be getting married," I thought but, I had apparently said it out loud.
"Married to who?" Draco asked curiously.
"Who do you think, Malfoy?" I said loudly.
"So we're back to last names?" he asked.
"Yes, you torched me all through my childhood years and so, explain to me why I should trust you with this, with anything at that matter?" I screamed at him. He turned and went up the stairs and out of my room. I broke down into tears. I just realized what I had done and was heading up the stairs.
"Draco," I said climbing up the last steep onto the floor his room is on. I opened his door slowly. I froze at what I saw, he was kissing Greengrass. I gasped loudly at this. They both turned and looked at me with shocked faces. I ran out the room and back down to the basement and/or my room. As soon as I got there I flung myself across my bed and did something I never thought I do, I cried over a boy, more specifically, Draco Malfoy. I knew I would regret it later but, that didn't stop me from crying.
"Hermione?" Mrs. Malfoy called. I didn't answer because I was too upset.
"Hermione, I'm coming in," she said while she opened the door.
"Hermione what happened, Draco won't tell me?" she asked. I didn't answer, I was too angry and sad. For the next hour she kept trying to comfort me and ask what was wrong but, she just couldn't get me to crack.
By the time she left, I had ran out of tears and was just shaking in the corner of my room. At around six o'clock dad called me up for dinner. After the awkward dinner, I went down the stairs and to bed.
The next morning
I woke up and ran to the kitchen with my stomach growling.
"What's for breakfast?" I asked, not even looking at who was cooking.
"Toast and bacon. You do like bacon, right?" the person who was cooking asked.
"Yeah," I answered as the person who was cooking brought over our food. The person who was cooking turned out to be Draco, the person I did not want to see for the rest of my life.
"I lost my appetite," I said while getting up to leave the kitchen table.
"Hermione, don't do. Please, I need to explain, a lot," Draco said grabbing my wrist and pulling me toward him.
"No, I saw what I needed to yesterday. Now let me go," I said.
"Please," he said with an innocent voice.
"Okay, you have ten minutes to explain. Go," I said, trying to get this mess out of the way.
"Okay. Well, the first day that you guys came here, me and Craig became friends. He helped me get rid of Pansy and pick out three girls to date, who were: You, Weasley, and Greengrass. I would first date Greengrass then Weasley, and finally, you. Whichever girl I liked the best, I would continue to date. That's why Greengrass was here, because it was our date. I didn't want to kiss her so, I stayed a foot away from her at every moment. But, then, when we were alone she came up and kissed me when I wasn't paying attention. So, I never wanted to kiss her, or do anything with her," Draco said, taking in a deep breath from talking so much.
"Do you have anything you would like to add because you still have two minutes," I told him. He shook his head, no.
"Okay," I said to where it was almost silent.
"I have to think a little before I answer," I said after coughing so that I talked a little louder. I went to my room with my breakfast and threw myself on my bed. I turned on the TV and looked for a good channel to watch. I turned out to watch Spongebob Squarepants.
After my breakfast I did my Math, History, and English homework. Then I took a short three hour nap. After that, I watched Orphan- the scary movie- in the dark with a lot of buttery, salty, popcorn. I love popcorn. Then I read some of my book. Finally, I took another nap for two hours.
