Hey! I do not own Harry Potter! Nice to know people are interested in this story! I didn't get a great night sleep at all last night, neither did a lot of people I know. So, I'm very tired and I got to school to find out that the coursework I spent all of last night working on and emailed myself last night was not the complete version! So I'm plucking up the courage to have a look to see whether I saved it properly or not! Anyway, sleep deprived annoyance over, thanks for the reviews and enjoy the chapter!
"Oh... Ron... I... uh... Wow. I'm really flattered and everything, but I love Draco. Thank you, but... no." Hermione tried to let him down as easy as possible but she couldn't lie. Ron stood up. Hermione felt horrible turning him down, but she did love Draco, they were having a baby together. She saw tears in his eyes. Oh, god. Please don't cry! "Please don't be upset! There's someone out there for you that loves you and you'll spend the rest of your life with her, it's just not me." Hermione tried to comfort him as much as possible.
"It's fine. You don't have to be sorry. You love Draco, I should have known that you wouldn't be interested. I just wanted you to know how I feel. I don't want to lose you." Ron said sadly and left. Hermione looked down embarrassed and noticed that she was getting the slightest little bump where her baby was. She smiled. She had Draco and her little baby, what more could she want? She just hoped that it wouldn't be awkward between her and Ron.
At dinner Draco asked Hermione if she'd like to go for a walk along the lake for a while. Of course she'd accepted. Their first real date! She met him half an hour later.
They walked along the lake while the sun was setting. The water was peaceful, even the Giant Squid was nowhere to be seen.
"Hermione. I want to ask you something. You can take as long as you like to answer." He started.
"Ok..." She replied.
"The reason I asked you out here was because it's more private. I love you a lot Hermione and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, Hermione, will you marry me? Not just pretend: really be engaged." He got down on one knee. Oh wow, the second proposal of the day! Not very often that happens!
"Yes! Yes!" She shouted. She kissed him full on the mouth.
They kept on walking along the lake. They'd have to be back inside soon. They started to walk back up the hill-like mound towards the castle. But, at the top, Hermione tripped and fell down the hill.
"Are you alright?" Draco shouted. But Hermione was clutching her stomach. There was a searing pain.
"No! I think I hurt the baby!"
