Deception

When I came to, I was lying on something soft. I carefully felt around with my hands around me and recognised sheets, I must be in Draco's bedroom.

"You're awake." He said as he walked over to me. There was something wet on my forehead, I reached for it and felt that it was a wet washcloth. "Are you okay?" he asked and I sat up.

"I'm fine." I said but I felt a little dizzy still.

"We're going to die." Said Draco suddenly. I raised my eyebrows in confusion until I remembered that I we were going to St. Mungo's tomorrow to check if I was indeed pregnant.

"No we're not." I said. "Can't we escape?" Draco narrowed his eyes at me.

"How can we escape?" he said annoyed. "I've got the Dark Mark, and don't you think they took measures against us escaping? My father most likely put a trace on us."

I swallowed hard, this was not the future I had in mind. Six feet under.
I got out of his bed but my legs wobbled, Draco quickly walked over to me to steady me.

"What's wrong?" he asked but I merely shrugged. I didn't know, it was probably stress like that time before in Hogsmeade. Too many things happening at once tends to overwhelm me.

"Can you call your house elf." I said as I sat down on a chair next to his fireplace. The fire was crackling softly. "Maybe I haven't eaten enough."

"I'll get to it. I'll be right back." Said Draco and he opened his bedroom door. On the other side of the door was a girl just about to knock. I didn't see who it was because Draco was blocking my view.

"Astoria." Said Draco perplexed and I felt my breath hitch. He stepped aside for a bit and a beautiful girl stood in the doorway. Her black hair was cascading down her back in waves, her light silvery green eyes were glaring at Draco and the dress she wore was exquisite.

"What is she doing here?" said Astoria angrily pointing at me when she noticed me. Draco fell silent, he didn't know how to explain it. "Are you being unfaithful?!" she added as she narrowed her eyes at him. "Already?"

"I am." Said Draco looking her over as if she was a piece of meat. He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows arrogantly at her. "What's it to you?"

Oh he was good, he immediately retorted back to the evil cockroach.

That's the Malfoy I used to know.

"I am to be married to you!" she snapped. "Is it so hard to keep it in your pants until we are wed?!"

"I didn't choose you." said Draco not impressed by her. "You don't get to tell me what to do." Her eyes widened even more and her full lips turned in to a thin slit. She raised her hand and was about to slap him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I said interrupting her calmly, her fiery gaze flicked over to me. "Stress is bad for the baby." I said protectively petting my stomach as I was trying to hold in my laughter.

"BABY?!" she screamed at Draco's face, but he didn't even flinch.

"Yes." He said calmly. "It's mine." If Astoria wasn't angry enough already, she was now practically seething. Her hand reached for her wand as her eyes were flashing dangerously, but she didn't grab it. She looked at me, and back at Draco to look for some kind of confirmation. I tried to keep my face impassive and Draco was doing a good job at being an absolute prat.

"My father will hear about this!" She yelled as she stormed away. Draco turned around, an amused expression on his face.

"Well, that was easier than I thought." He said. And I agreed until we heard Lucius yell downstairs and the shattering of furniture.
