Hey! I'm just going to start doing a chapter a week for a little bit now because of all my coursework. Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming! Enjoy the chapter!
Hermione sat down at the large table in the dining room. She braced herself for the impact of what she was going to say on Lucius and Narcissa.
"I have to tell you both something." They both nodded their interest, still keeping their focus on their food. "I've been seeing someone. And I love her a lot. So no matter what I say, just remember that she means a lot to me." They both looked slightly more interested now. "It's Hermione Granger." They both looked shocked. "I know, but I love her. And there's something else, as well. She's pregnant." The carrot that Lucius had been stabbing with his fork flew across the table.
"Pregnant!? I could almost get over you being 'in love' with her, that'll soon pass, but PREGNANT!? Are you sure?" Lucius fumed.
"I'm sure. We're also going to get married." The lying was a bit extreme for Hermione, but she knew it would buy some time for Draco to find someone else. "And you said that as long as I found someone then I don't have to marry Pansy."
"I did. But I meant someone suitable." Replied Lucius.
"And how is Hermione not suitable?" Hermione challenged.
"She's a..."
"Mudblood? Oh, get of your high horse."
"How dare you? I will not allow this marriage! You will marry Pansy!"
"Lucius! You said that if he found someone then he didn't have to marry Pansy. I expect you to stay by your word no matter who Draco chooses to marry." Narcissa liked the idea of her son growing up for some reason.
"Very well. I will stay to my word. But remember that I'm not happy about this."
Draco sat on the sofa with Hermione's parents. He didn't know how they would react to finding out that their daughter was pregnant.
"I need to tell you both something." Draco started. "I'm pregnant."
Hermione's parents looked shocked, but not angry.
"Who's the father?" Mrs Granger asked.
"Draco Malfoy. I love him and we're going to get married. Don't worry."
They seemed satisfied that their daughter, although pregnant, was in a serious relationship.
Both Hermione and Draco slept happily that night, knowing that their jobs were done.
