A change of heart

Hermione's POV

I woke up to the sound of knocking at my door. I was still in the hospital wing but I was supposed to leave today, I got excused from classes because Dumbledore wanted to speak with me. I walked over to the door and opened it, Dumbledore stood there smiling. "Hello miss Granger" I tried so hard to smile, he walked past me and sat down next to my bed. I walked back over to my bed and sat down, he cast a spell around us so no one could hear us "How are you sir?" he looked back at me. "I'm fine. How are you miss Granger?" I faked a smile, "I'm fine sir" he smiled at me then looked down, "Miss Granger is there anything you want to tell me?" I remembered that awful night.

I started to tear up and I knew that I would probably cry soon, "No..." I shook my head and started to cry. He sighed and excused himself, I packed up my stuff and walked down to my dorm room. It was empty because everyone was in class, I was so not ready for class tomorrow. In fact I wasn't ready for anything, I wasn't ready for class I wasn't ready to tell Draco my parents or the school and I was definitely not ready to be a mom . I was suddenly so angry at Draco I thought maybe I could forgive him for this but I can't, I would never be able to forgive him. I cried all day to myself, I wasn't planning on going down to dinner but I wasn't just feeding myself.

As soon as I entered the great hall everyone stared at me. I walked past people and made my way to the Gryffindor table, I sat next to Ginny, Harry and Ron were on the other side. I grabbed some food and piled it up on my plate, I didn't really talk at first but I had to at least pretend that I was fine. "So how was class?" I asked Harry he looked over at me, "It was fine, I just got detention from Snape again" I laughed. I continued to laugh and talk with my friends, It was very rare for me to be in a good mood but suddenly I had forgotten about the baby and I was just Hermione Jean Granger the teen witch, not the pregnant witch.

Ginny and me walked down to the library and studied. She handed me my work that I had missed, we started out by doing potions. As I wrote down my work I started thinking about the night Draco raped me, no matter how hard I tried I could not stop thinking about it. I was so angry with myself and with him, how could he do this even if he was drunk why did it have to be. I didn't really want it to be anybody else because no one should have to go through this but why me?

I noticed that Ginny had stopped writing and looked at me, "whats wrong Gin?" she shrugged "You tell me" I sighed. "Its nothing..." at that moment Draco walked through the door, I looked down because I couldn't bare to see the face that occupied my nightmares. He smirked at many people and one of them was me, he saw me staring and came over to me and Ginny. Ginny looked about ready to rip his head off, I was just scared "whats up Granger?" I flinched at his words "N-nothing Malfoy" he smirked.

"Really well maybe you shouldn't stare at people" He smirked again, I looked down "I-I wasn't" he laughed "maybe you should fix the s-stuttering thing" He laughed again and walked away. Ginny was so angry now you could tell she got up and was about to go after him but I pulled her back, "No Gin lets just go" she nodded and walked out with me. As soon as we got to the common room I walked up to my room, Ginny followed me "Hermione? Are you okay? I could go beat him up for you" I shook my head.

She sighed and hugged me, "maybe you should tell your parents and Dumbledore. They'll understand" I sighed I really couldn't tell anyone. "No Ginny. I'm going to abort it!" she flinched at my tone, I started to cry "Mione...I'm so sorry" I covered my face with my pillow and cried. "I know Ginny, I'm sorry too. I just can't do this" she nodded and hugged me, I cried so hard I'm pretty sure people heard me.

I hated the fact that I felt like I did something wrong, I know I didn't it was Malfoy's fault but I felt that way no matter what. Ginny tried to calm me down and push me towards adoption, I couldn't think straight right now. When Ginny left I tried to think about it, I didn't really like the idea of someone else taking care of my baby and I thought more about abortion and I finally understood that it wasn't right. I was stuck with keeping it or putting it up for adoption, I didn't know if I could just give up my baby never knowing if it was fine or alive or anything. I finally settled it I was going to keep it.

It probably wasn't the best plan but I could do it. I would have to find a way to tell everyone, I didn't want Draco to know but there was no way he wouldn't find out. I fell asleep that night and dreamed about my parents, I missed them so much and I needed them right now. The next day I woke up showered and got dressed, when I went down to breakfast I told Ginny, "I'm going to keep it" I whispered. She smiled and hugged me "That's great Hermione!" I smiled and hugged her back, Draco was looking over at us and he was frowning.

"Why is Malfoy looking at us?'' Ginny looked over at the Slytherin table and shrugged, '' I have no idea but I will hurt him if he continues." I took one more glance at Draco before eating my breakfast, once I was done I walked off to my first class which was Herbology with the Hufflepuffs. The day was going great but when we got to DADA everything went down hill, I couldn't do any of the things they were doing because I was pregnant I had to fake being sick. I got excused and I had to sit and watch I hated having to see Draco so often but, life's hard.

As soon as we were excused I ran down to Dumbledore's office, I was ready to tell him I needed to tell him. As I walked down the corridors I thought about my change of heart, yesterday I wanted to kill it and today I wanted to keep and protect it. That was a big change of heart, I arrived at his office and I knocked.
