Last time:
Lucius nodded his head and Draco left, heading up the stair to her room. When he opened her door, he noticed she was curled in a ball in the center of the bed, still fully dressed including her shoes. He approached the bed and removed her shoes carefully before climbing in the bed with her and covering them both up, he would wait to talk to her once she had some sleep.
Now:
"Draco... Draco, wake up." Hermione said while nudging him, "I have to go to the bathroom and your wrapped around me."
Draco opened one eye and smiled, "Fine, but come right back, I want to talk to you."
Hermione nodded and went towards the bathroom, almost tripping over her shoes in the process. Draco sat up and rubbed the sleep from his face, he wanted to make sure Hermione knew he was serious about her and the baby, whether he was ready for this situation or not.
A few minutes later, Hermione left the bathroom and sat back down on the bed, looking at the bedsheets instead of him. He noticed her reluctance to look at him and curse himself inwardly.
"Hermione, Listen... What I said at the hospital wing was true, we are to young and I am not ready, but, I think we can handle this if we both try our best."
Hermione raised and shook her head, " We aren't ready for this Draco, and I'm not sure I can do this, I never expected to have a child so young."
"I realize that, but I know we can do this, we will also have plenty of help while we finish out our last year."
"Your parents will eventually get tired of coming to the school."
"Not just them, Mrs. Weasley said she would help, and your parents, well, they said they would help too."
Hermione's eyes grew wide, " You told my parents?? and you're still alive??"
"Barely, but I did survive, I'll be honest with you though, your dad is in pretty good shape for a man his age."
Hermione reached across the bed and placed two fingers on his neck.
"What on earth are you doing?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Checking for a pulse, I'm not ready to believe you survived him."
Draco smacked her hands away lightly, "As I said, barely. I went there after I left the burrow, figuring thats where you would go. Your father answered the door and invited me in. When I asked him if you were there, he told me you weren't and asked for an explanation." Draco paused for a minute, to replay the scene in his head, "I didn't want to start things off with him by lying, so I backed up about 10 feet and told him the situation."
"Was he mad?" she asked
"Well, at first, but after he chased me through your house and back yard for about twenty minutes, he finally gave up when he realized I could climb a tree a lot faster them him."
"He actually chased you? Oh Merlin."
"Like I said, he eventually gave up, I think the chase wore him out a bit. Anyways, I talked to him from my spot in the tree and once he promised he would not harm me, I finally came down, but I used a funny chair that was in the yard for protection until I was completely sure."
"So am I disowned?"
"Not by a long shot, I actually had a conversation with him and your mum at the kitchen table once we all calmed down. I assured them that I was going to take care of you and the baby."
Hermione looked at him again, "But we aren't ready Draco, this is going to chance our lives before we even have a chance to live them."
"Look woman" he said teasingly, "I have been chased, I have been swatted with a newspaper, I have faced Potters anger, Weasley's threats, climbed a tree and have been called an idiot at least three times, all in one day. I'm pretty sure I can handle anything else that is thrown my way, and I know you well enough to know you will handle this... with grace."..."Besides, as Mrs. Weasley said, we have nine months to ready for this and we are fortunate to have people willing to help."
Hermione smiled, "since when did you become so sweet?"
"Probably the same time Weasley became the calm one."
Hermione raised an eyebrow, but Draco shook his head, "I'll explain that one later."
Hermione nodded and lay back down on the bed, "So whats next?" she asked
Draco smirked, "Revenge. My parents were going to pull this little prank on us and even though it backfired, I think they need a taste of their own medicine."
Hermione smiled, "I think I like that idea, but this time, Snape gets it too,"
"Shall I call Fred and George?"
"You shall" she chuckled.
Draco left the room and went to the floo to call for the twins, when he stuck his head through, he came face to face with Mrs. Weasley.
"Draco dear, did you find her?" Molly asked
"Yes I did Mrs. Weasley, she went to the manor and she and my father talked before I got there, but things are fine now."
"Good, good, great to hear that. So... is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Actually, I was wondering if you could send Fred and George over to the manor, Hermione and I need to talk to them."
"Of course dear, I'll send them right over."
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley" Draco replied as he pulled out of the fire.
Draco went back up the Hermione's room and sat back down on the bed, close to her. He pulled her into a hug and apologized again for how he handled the initial news. Hermione smiled and pulled him into a kiss, accepting his apology.
"Hey, none of that, it's already gotten you two in enough trouble." Fred laughed.
"Too right" George followed
Hermione Blushed and Draco smirked, "Don't worry boys, you will eventually find a girl to put up with you."
"I resent that" George started
"Because we are very lovable." Fred finished with a chuckle, "So, I guess you called us here to plan?
"Indeed" Draco replied, " Snape gets it too this time."
George and Fred beamed, " Good old Snapey poo."
