"You w-w-what?" Draco whispered as his face went pale.
"I- I- love you Draco Malfoy. And I always have! And I can't help it! I've tried and tried to hate you but it doesn't block the feelings I have for you. And ever since you have been hanging out...

The revelation struck me like a bolt from the blue – I'm two months pregnant. It wasn't a part of my meticulously laid-out life plan, and the realization sends my mind into a whirlwind of uncertainty. Did I want to be a mother? The mere thought of being responsible for another human being evokes a mix of emotions – fear, self-doubt, and a touch of disbelief. But as the saying goes, what happens, happens, and now I find myself navigating this unexpected journey into motherhood.
Contemplating who to confide in about this delicate matter becomes my next challenge. Considering the complex dynamics with Draco and his friends, Hermione seems like the safest choice. Determined to find her, I embark on a search that takes me through various corners of Hogwarts, a place that feels both vast and confining as I grapple with my newfound reality.
"Hey, Potter. Have you seen Hermione?" I inquire, hoping for a lead. His probing questions about my connection with Malfoy add a layer of frustration, but I choose to keep it professional, focusing on my quest to find Hermione.
Unable to locate her with the usual suspects – the trio or the library – I cross paths with Theo, a reliable friend who seems to notice the traces of earlier tears in my eyes. Undeterred, he approaches with genuine concern.
"Yeah, I've seen her near the hospital wing," Theo informs me, a reassuring presence amidst the turmoil. Expressing gratitude, I hurry towards the hospital wing in search of Hermione, my confidante in this storm of emotions.
Upon finding her, it becomes evident that she's been waiting for someone, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. But who could she be waiting for, and what will her reaction be when she learns of my situation?
"Hermione, girl, I finally found you! I have something important to tell you, something I trust you with," I confess, attempting to convey the gravity of the matter without causing unnecessary panic.
Cutting to the heart of the matter, Hermione, being the astute and empathetic friend she is, processes the information swiftly. The summary of my predicament falls from her lips with clarity, highlighting the unintentional intimacy with Draco, the two-month pregnancy, his ignorance of the situation, and the subsequent communication breakdown.
"Yes, that's the gist of it," I admit, feeling the weight of the day press down on me. The reality of the situation is now not only mine to bear, but it's also shared with someone I trust.
Attempting to offer reassurance, Hermione reminds me that at least it's Christmas break. However, the reality of spending the holidays with the knowledge of my pregnancy and the uncertainty about Draco's reaction looms large. The tension is palpable, and decisions about revealing the truth to my mother add another layer of complexity to an already challenging situation.
As the gravity of my circumstances sinks in, an unexpected letter arrives – an invitation from Narcissa Malfoy to the Amabels' annual Christmas Eve ball. Initially, dread fills my chest, but a glimmer of hope emerges. Perhaps attending the ball will provide a temporary escape from the turmoil, allowing me to navigate my emotions and decisions more calmly.
Reality reasserts itself as Vervain, Draco's persistent follower, appears at my door. Her insinuations about a night three years ago, an encounter I'd hoped to bury, throw me into a state of shock and anxiety. Theo intervenes, rescuing me from Vervain's unwanted company. Grateful, I express my relief, and our conversation takes a more personal turn as we head towards the library. There, I muster the courage to share the weighty secret that's been consuming me.
"Listen, can I tell you something very important?" I hesitantly ask Theo, the library's quiet atmosphere creating a refuge for vulnerability. The story unfolds, and I find solace in confiding in someone who has been a steady presence during this tumultuous chapter of my life.
