Hermions nods and walks off Platform 9 3/4 and gets ready to start hre new life away from everyone and everthing that she knew and loved.

No one noticed Hermione until Ginny went up to see how she was feeling.

"SHE'S GONE!" Ginny yells as she runs back to the Gryffindor Common Room.

"What?" Harry asks.

"Hermione's gone. Everything even Crookshanks." Ginny says. Ron and Harry exchange a look.

"Where could she have gone? Home?" Harry asks.

"I don't know. Should we owl Mr. and Mrs. Granger?" Ginny asks.

"I don't think so because if she didn't they might start panicking over nothing." Harry says.

"You need to tell Dumbledore." Neville says.

Ginny, Harry, and Ron run up to Dumbledore's office and knock.

"Hello Harry, Mr. Weasley, and Miss. Weasley what can I do for you?" Dumbledore asks.

"Professor Hermione is gone." Harry says.

"What do you mean gone?" Dumbledore asks.

"She said she wasn't feeling well and that she wouldn't be able to keep anything down from dinner and that we should go with out her and when we went back up and Ginny went to check on her and we found out she was gone." Ron says.
"Can you think of any reason why she would run off with out a word?"

"Well Slytherins were harassing her about the baby because I accidentally said something when they were chasing her when we ran into her." Ginny says.

"Yeah then she ran into the Common Room saying Slytherins were messing with her." Harry adds.

Dumbledore nods.

"Does this mean that the father of Hermione's baby is a Slytherin? Probably one of them who keep messing with her or a friend?" Dumbledore asks. Ginny doesn't know what to say Hermione had asked her not to say anything about it until she chose to.

"We're not sure who the father is." Harry says.

"Hermione never told us." Ron adds.

"Miss. Weasley do you know who the father is?" Ginny still doesn't say anything.

"She doesn't want me to say." Ginny says quietly.

"Ginny if you know it might help find Hermione." Ron says.

"She doesn't want me to say and I can't break my promise to her!" Ginny says.

There is a knock at the door.

"Enter." Dumbledore says and the door opens to show McGonagall leading Draco Malfoy in by his arm.

"Good Evening Minerva...Mr. Malfoy." Dumbledore says.

"Albus, Mr. Malfoy here was trying to find a way into your office I thought you should know. I've already taken fifty house points and he has detention with me tomorrow night but I thought you could handle it any more if need be." Minerva says letting go of Draco's arm.

"Thank you Minerva and while you are here I thought you should know one of your Gryffindors have left Hogwarts." Dumbledore says.

"What? Who?" McGonagall asks.

"Miss. Granger and it seems she was being harassed by Slytherins because they found out about her pregnancy. Who the father is we don't know, Harry and Mr. Weasley don't know and Miss. Weasley promised not to say and now is upset about it." Dumbledore tells her.

Draco can't believe what he's hearing.

"I know." Draco says in a quiet voice.

"Really? Who is it?" Dumbledore asks.

"It's...me." Draco says.

"What? You're the one who raped Hermione!" Harry says angrily.

"Don't start with that you should have known that because didn't your little girlfriend say that earlier?" Draco snaps.

"Wait you did Gin." Harry says.

"I know but I didn't mean to!" Ginny says.

"Well Mr. Malfoy since you are the one who raped Miss. Granger I'm going to have to expel you." Dumbledore says.

"Wh-But I didn't have a choice!" Draco says.

"Really I bet you didn't." Ron says angrily.

"Voldemort made me. I swear!" Draco says.

Dumbledore looks at Draco and thinks he might be telling the truth.

"Show me your arm Mr. Malfoy." Draco quickly pulls up both his sleeves to show the Dark Mark wasn't on him.

"Just because he doesn't have one yet professor doesn't mean he won't join!" Harry says.

"Mr. Malfoy would you say that you didn't have a choice and didn't want to rape Miss. Granger under truth serum?" Dumbledore asks.

"Yes." Draco says.

"Very well I had Severus make me this so I had it when I learned who raped Miss. Granger. Come forward Mr. Malfoy." Draco steps forward and takes the two drops of Truth Serum that Voldemort gives him.

"Your name?" Dumbledore asks.

"Draco Malfoy."

"Were you the run who raped Miss. Hermione Granger?"

"Yes." Draco says.

"Did you have a choice in doing it?"

"No Voldemort told me I rape her or he would have someone rape me then he would kill me." Draco says.

"Do you want to join the Dark Lord?" Dumbledore asks.

"No." Draco says.

"Last question; are you the father of Miss. Hermione Granger's baby?"

"Yes she told me but told me she didn't want me near it." Draco says.

Dumbledore nods and gives Draco the antidote and turns to the others.

"Well there we have it. Mr. Malfoy you will not be expelled but you will not be allowed to leave the castle until after the Christmas holidays so I'm going to have to force you not to go home for them." Draco shrugs.

"I didn't plan on going home anyways." Harry and Ron look shocked that Draco was getting away with raping Hermione.

"Headmaster you can't just let him get away with it!" Ron says.

"Yeah he's causing Hermione to have a baby before she is even ready!" Harry says

"Harry you saw him take the truth serum and you heard what he said. He's not to blame." Ginny says.

"Well...I might be because we started fighting and...I pinned her up against the wall when she threatened to tell the Headmaster and I called her a...bitch when she was running off." Draco says.

"Mr. Malfoy I'm surprised." McGonagall says.

"I didn't mean it but I can't be expelled!" Draco says.

Dumbledore looks at Draco and thinks he might see fear in his eyes.

"Mr. Malfoy you're not being expelled but you are losing another fifty points for what you did and said to Hermione and you'll be serving Detention with McGonagall tomorrow and the next three days after that." Draco nods.

"Yes sir." Draco says.

"And you don't have to worry about Voldemort, your father or other death-eaters or their children because I'm moving you into your own dorm away from the Slytherins." Draco nods.

"Thank you Headmaster."

"Now we will send people to look for Miss. Granger and see if we can get her to come back. Otherwise we'll make sure people keep an eye on her." Dumbledore says then dismisses all of them.

Enjoy the update and R&R. I choose to have Draco admit it and have him tell the truth when he is unable to lie so i can make him a good guy and it'll be easier for me to get him and Hermioe together. I'm enjoying all the reviews i'm getting which are making me write more and faster so the more you review the faster i'll write.
