Chapter 29

Hermione came out of her room furious at Ginny. She sat down on the couch opposite of Draco. He noticed Ginny storming out of there and now Hermione was upset.

"Mi, what happened?"

"Ginny is being a selfish little bitch, that's all."

"What did she do now?"

"Well, you know how she said that my father asked her to get resorted, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, he didn't. I owled him yesterday after she told us and asked him. He said that he did no such thing and he's furious with her. She begged me for mercy, but I told her that I wouldn't plead her case to my father."

"What's been going on with you lately? Normally you would have done that in a second. What's changed?"

"Nothing has changed dammit. I'm still the same Hermione that I used to be."

"No you're not. You aren't the Hermione I fell in love with so many years ago. You're way different. I feel as though I don't know who you are anymore."

"Well, if you feel that way, why don't you leave me?"

"You know I would never do such a thing. Especially now that we're having the kids. Why would you say something like that?" Draco gave her a look of disbelief. "I made vows, Mi, and I wouldn't do anything to break those. Til death do us part, remember?"

"I remember Draco. I made those same vows too."

"Then put all this behind us and let's move on with our lives. Let's find Harry and Ron so we can finish our planning."

"I don't really feel up to it right now. You go on and then you can fill me in when you get back."

"Ok Mi, I'll see you in a few hours. I love you."

"I love you too." Draco bent over to kiss her on her forehead and then he disappeared out the portrait door. Hermione just sat there deep in thought

Now I guess I better owl Father and tell him everything that's been going on. When I received the Mark, something in me changed. Draco sees it now, but I've been seeing it for a few weeks now. I think some of my father's cruelty has somehow been put into me. He's controlling me somehow. That night we were planning on how to kill Father, I sat there with nothing to say and whenever I looked at Harry, I felt nothing but hate for him. That's not how it used to be. I loved Harry until I got this damned Mark. He was the brother that I never had. I don't know exactly what's happening to me, but dammit, I'm going to find out.

She went over to her desk to write a letter to her Father.

Father:

How are you? I hope all is well. I have a question and please answer me honestly. What did you do to my Dark Mark? Lately I haven't been my normal self. I am full of hate and I don't want to be this way. I know the Dark Mark changes things, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Draco's the same as he always was and so is Ginny, sort of. Does it have anything to do with my pregnancy? Does it affect Xander and Hayley? Please respond as soon as possible. I need my questions answered.

Love

Hermione

She rolled up the letter and went over to the eagle owl Horus, who was perched on his cage. "Horus, please send this to my father and keep pecking him until he answers me." She tied the letter to his leg. "Go on, get!" With that Horus flew out the window. Thank Merlin that's over with. I hope he answers me quickly. She yawns. "Damn I'm tired. I think I'm going to lie down for a little while"

She crossed the common room and went to bed.

Dream Sequence

"Draco, I'm going to kill you if you EVER even think about having sex with me again!" She was in labor. Draco just laughed at her. "You just wait until you're healthy enough to make love again Mi, you won't be saying that. Now PUSH!"

When she did, a grotesque looking creature came out. "What the hell is that? That can't be my child. Draco, Draco, DRACO! Where the hell are you?" Draco had fallen to the floor, dead. "DRACO!" She looked up from the floor to see her father standing there. "Father, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to tie up a few loose ends starting with my dear son-in-law here. Now PUSH!" She did so and out came the second child. She was the most gorgeous little girl that she had ever seen. She had Draco's hair and her eyes were as green as Harry's. She had a warm face like her mother's. Before she had a chance to hold her, her father had taken Hayley away. "What did you do with my children? Tell me now dammit!"

"They are my heirs now. You will have nothing to do with them since you will be dead. AVADA….."

End Dream Sequence

Hermione woke in a cold sweat. Draco was beside her trying to calm her down. "Mi, are you ok?"

"Yes I am, now that you're here." She sat up and squeezed him tightly. "Don't ever leave me again. Do you understand me?"

"I'll never leave you, I promise."

"I'm sorry about the fight earlier. I should have never said those things."

"I'm sorry too."

"Don't be, I see the change in me. I owled my father and asked him what he did to me."

"Has he written back yet?"

"No, but I think that we have a lot to worry about. I had a dream that I was in labor and my father was there and he killed you and Xander wasn't normal and he took our kids away and he killed me too. I'm so scared."

"Honey, it was just a dream."

"I told that to Harry too, but you know that 99 percent of his dreams come true. Maybe it's the same with me this time."

"Merlin I hope not."

"We have to stop him before I go into labor, or else this dream might come true."

"I know, Let me fill you in on the plan so far."

R&R please!

Love you!
