Hi all! I'm home from vacation. I got the sixth book and I was totally shocked. Now what's Harry going to do, he barely stands a chance now. And I knew something was up with Snape! Well I just own the plot so on with the chapter.

The rest of the month went on quite quickly. Hermione growing more still.

"Well you have two happy twins in there Miss Granger. Take this potion to ease your morning sickness. Come back to see me in three weeks." Said Madame Pomfrey.

Hermione nodded and went back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Her friends were waiting to hear on her check-up.

"So how are you doing?" asked Ginny.

"I'm fine. The twins are great too. Over on this side is my son." Said Hermione pointing to her left side. "And over here is my little girl."

"That's great. Have you picked out any names yet?" Asked Ron, munching on a chocolate frog.

"No. I'm going to the library later for research, maybe I'll find a book of names." Said Hermione, grabbing a chocolate frog and walking out of the portrait hole.

Finally she came to her portrait and said the password. And as usual Draco was sitting on the couch waiting for her.

"So how are you coming along?" Draco inquired, clearing off a space for Hermione.

"They're fine. While researching, can you help me find a book of baby names. I can't seem to think of a proper name for them. I mean I can't call them baby 1 and baby 2 for five months!" exclaimed Hermione.

Draco had learned to stay quiet during her bursts of emotion very much like this one. Because if he said something and it was the wrong thing then she was round on him faster than a snake on a mouse.

"Yeah, of course I'll help you." Draco stated.

They got up their things and went to the library. They had to go separate ways because no one knew that they were sort-of seeing each other, except Hermione's closest friends.

Hermione sat on one end of the table and Draco on the other. While Hermione was writing a long paragraph on why nothing in the castle ran on electricity, an owl landed roughly in front of her.

Hermione took the scroll from the great bird and thanked him. She looked over the paper and saw that it was from Azkaban.

' Miss Hermione Granger,

we don't know how to tell you but Mr. Nick Johnson has broken out of our top security cell. We think he is returning back to Hogwarts. We've already informed the headmaster and you will be watched until the danger has lifted.

Sincerely,

The head of Security at the Ministry of Magic

Russ Yoogle '

Hermione's heart was racing. Nick was out of jail and she was so very unprotected. Hermione looked up and saw Draco looking at her from afar. She gave him a look that said later. Hermione continued with her work and tried to forget about the frightening note.

(Common Room)

"I'll walk with you to every class, I don't care if they see us together!" exclaimed Draco, holding the note tightly in his hand.

"No. You don't have to, it would seem less odd if one of my friends did it." Hermione stated, looking up at Draco.

"But Hermione, I care about you more than you will ever know. What if something were to happen and for one second the idiots turned around and you were gone. I could never forgive myself." Draco stated, sitting down and looking Hermione straight in the eye.

"I'll be fine. As long as I know that you'll always be here when I need you. I can stand up to anything." Said Hermione.

Draco scooted over and kissed Hermione passionately. Within the few seconds, a note was posted to their bulletin board.

'NEXT HOGSMEADE VISIT TO BE THIS WEEKEND!'

Hermione smiled, she always loved going down to the village. Draco suddenly felt like something was caught in his throat, now was the chance to ask Hermione on a date, but how to do it? Draco handed Hermione the name book and walked to his room. Hermione stayed on the couch not really paying attention to anything.

(The next morning)

"How about Arwen for my girl and Hunter for my boy?" asked Hermione, going over the list she made out the night before.

"They're both nice names but do you really think they go well together?" asked Ginny.

"I want them to be separate, you know. Like Fred and George, their names sound nice together so they act the same. I want my twins to behave differently." Said Hermione putting a sparkly star next to the name 'Arwen' with her wand.

"I found this name just now 'Mione. How do you like Corin for your girl or Diana?" asked Ron, looking through the book.

"I think I like Corin. It sounds very nice. So I'm sticking with that one. Unless I find a better one." Said Hermione, writing the name down. (A/N: that's where you readers come in, if you have a better name tell me and I'll see if I like it.)

They spent their entire free hour, looking over names.

"Come on Manning is such a great name. Especially if he's going to be a great quidditch player." Stated Harry, looking through the book.

"Yeah it won't be so bad. Manning Kalin Granger and Corin Gail Granger." Said Hermione writing the names down with a flourish.

"Gail Hermione?" questioned Ron.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with it. Oh my gosh I'm late. I have to meet Draco in the Common Room before his next class." Said Hermione, checking Harry's watch.

Hermione quickly gathered her things and ran back to the castle, holding her stomach still. The potion seemed to be working perfectly. Finally she got there, a little out of breath. Hermione fixed herself up and walked in. Draco was sitting at the table, scribbling something out over and over. Hermione cleared her throat to acknowledge that she was there. Draco looked up and smiled.

"You said you wanted to see me?" asked Hermione, walking over to him.

"Um, yeah I did. You know how there's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up? And well I wanted to know if you'd go with me?" Draco asked, looking at Hermione contently.

"Yes of course I'd go with you. I was going to ask you if you didn't ask me." Hermione stated, smiling as bright as ever.

Draco then noticed the paper clutched in her hand. And he brought it up.

"These are the names of my children. Over here is Manning and his sister Corin. But I might think of naming them something else." Hermione stated, putting the paper into her bag.

"Are they using their father's surname or their mother's" asked Draco, touching the subject lightly.

"They're using mine currently. I don't want to have to think about him when I look at them." Said Hermione, feeling her stomach.

Draco nodded and kissed Hermione cheek before walking out on his way to class. Hermione had never given thought to what the surname of her twins would be. Now that Draco had brought it up Hermione had a lot to think about. Along with what was she going to wear on her date.

(Gryffindor Common Room)

"Don't panick. I'll come over the hour before and do your make up for you. And I'll help you pick out your outfit. I'm sure that you can make some of your clothes expand to fit properly." Said Ginny, looking at the new edition of 'Witch Weekly'

"Thank you so much Ginny. Well I have to go, I'm needed in the library for a tutoring session." Said Hermione on her way out of the room.

(2 hours later, just before dinner)

"Ok, I can see you again in about a week. I can't this weekend but maybe on Monday." Said Hermione writing down where she left off.

"Thanks so much Hermione. I think I have a chance at passing my Transfiguration test." Said a little Hufflepuff 2nd year.

"No problem Diana." Hermione smiled.

Diana left for dinner while Hermione picked up the books. Suddenly an owl swooped down and left a note that was written very quickly and only had two small words written.

' I'm coming '

Hermione knew that handwriting anywhere. It was Nick. He didn't say where he was or what he meant. Hermione quickly looked around and dashed to the Great Hall.

Draco saw the strangled look on Hermione's face during dinner and tried to get her attention but it was no use, she wouldn't look up. Maybe they would talk later that night. Dinner was over and Hermione hadn't said a word.

'What am I going to do? What if something happens to me and no one is there. Oh, everything is so messed up!" Hermione said to herself.

Tears streaming down her face while sitting on her bed. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Hermione let the person in. It was Draco with a worried face. Hermione tried to wipe her tears away and give him a smile but it was no use, the tears kept coming.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" Asked Draco worriedly.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Hermione said hastily.

"Well if it's nothing then you wouldn't be crying." Draco persisted, making Hermione smile just a little.

"I just don't want to tell you. I'm allowed to have secrets you know. I'll be fine. Don't look at me that way. I'll be perfectly fine." Said Hermione putting on her best smile.

Draco took it and left Hermione alone. She sat there in pure horror looking out of every window and casting a charm on everything. Hopefully she would be able to sleep well.

(Getting Ready)

"Here how about this skirt and this top?" Asked Ginny going through Hermione's closet.

"No. I'll look like a cow!" yelled Hermione.

Nothing seemed to look right.

"Well what do you expect, you are almost five months pregnant with twins." Ginny stated getting down a nice orange dress that was knee length, a low neckline , and three quarter sleeves.

"I really like that dress Ginny. I didn't know that I had one like it." Said Hermione, standing up to examine it.

Ginny smiled and tucked her wand back into her make-up purse. While Hermione was getting showered and dressed Draco was having a hard time in his room. With is best bud Blasie.

"She's just like any other girl in the school Draco. What makes her so different from the other girls you've dated?" He asked, messing with Draco's cologne.

"Well firstly she's not stuck up or thinks she's prettier than anyone else. Hermione makes me smile and makes me feel like I'm something important. Something that I've never felt with my father or with any other girl. We can talk about anything." Said Draco, looking for the right shirt.

(Hermione's room)

Hermione was saying basically everything Draco had just said while Ginny applied her make-up.

"Well it seems as though our Hermione has been hit by the love bug." Smiled Ginny, who knew exactly what it was like every time she looked at Harry.

Hermione's make-up was simple, just a little blush and very light orange eyeshadow. Her lipstick was just simple light pink. Ginny had now moved to Hermione's hair.

Since the curls were already there, Ginny pulled the hair out of the front with a diamond studded hair clip. Small bits were left out to frame Hermione's face.

"Oh Ginny thank you so much. I love it." Said Hermione looking at herself in the mirror.

Draco had finally found a shirt and put it on after adding a bit of his cinnamon scented cologne. Hermione spritsed herself with peach body mist and was off to the bottom of the steps.

Draco found her soon after. His heart almost stopped. She looked beautiful, even more so than usual. Draco walked up to her and took her hand.

A/N: HELLO ALL! I HOPE THAT YOU LIKED THIS CHAPTER? THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ABOUT THEIR DATE AND THE HORRIBLE THING THAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN. I'M STILL UP TO BABY NAMES IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE ONES I PICKED OUT.
