Draco and Hermione - Between the living and the grave

10. What's Going On

Chapter 10

She sat there, in complete shock as Draco walked back over to the table, two glasses of butter beer and a red wine for his mother as he sat them on the table and took his seat. Looking at the grin on his mother's face he then looked at Hermione and saw the shock tracing every feature.

"Whats going on?' he asked curiously.

"Your... your mother says I'm pregnant!' Hermione stuttered, sitting completely still as Draco's eyes widened before turning and looking at his mother.

"What?' he spluttered incredulously as his mother nodded, smiling.

"Draco even Lord Voldermort is scared of this being growing inside of Hermione. Even on my way over here I was listening to people, death eaters plotting to kill Hermione and her unborn baby,' Narcissa told Draco as his eyes suddenly widened.

"No...' he replied as Hermione looked back and forth between Narcissa and Draco as Narcissa then nodded.

"Yes... last night, when you two... connected. You made that connection on the strongest night of the passing of the full moon and you created something equally as magic and even more powerful than anyone could have dreamt. Everyone in the magical kingdom felt it when you too conceived that child and everyone at first were wondering who had done it... but now Hermione is in danger and so are you my son so you both need to come with me back to the mansion where you will be protected.' Narcissa explained carefully as both Hermione and Draco looked just as shocked as the other.

Hermione was just about to speak when Narcissa looked up and quickly shushed the pair.

"Quickly, death eaters have just turned up, we must go... Now!'

Taking each other's hands, they held on tightly as a sudden pop was sounded and all three of them were twirling around in circles, everything a complete blur as Hermione began to feel very nauseas.

As quickly as it had happened it had also ended. Narcissa was the first to get to her feet as Draco helped a very dizzy Hermione up as she watched the room spin. Looking down, both Draco and Hermione were very shocked as they saw that Hermione already had a baby bump.

Hermione looked up at Draco as he looked back at her before both of them turned and looked at Narcissa.

"See, what did I tell you,' Narcissa told them matter-of-factly.

Malfoy mansion the next day

"Draco!' Hermione screamed in shock as she ran down the dark hallway trying to find the man whose baby she was carrying. "Draco, where are you?'

She couldn't find him anywhere, her mind was racing and she was getting angry having to be stuck in one place for this long. It reminded her of being stuck inside the coffin and when she had to claw her way out.

She stopped when she reached the end of the hall, to her right was the stair case leading down to the second story of the house. To her left was just a wall with a photo of Narcissa, Lucius and Draco and right in front of her was a closed door.

Gripping the handle tightly on the door, she turned it and pushed it open, her mouth dropping open instantly as the lights illuminated the room revealing a very large room with a single arm chair alone in the very middle or the enlarged room. There was a fireplace a few meters away from the chair which was burning brightly and two large windows which had black curtains covering it.

But you couldn't see the walls as they were all covered up to the roof with books amongst the shelves which held them up.

"That's our library,' a male voice spoke as Hermione spun around and saw the blonde haired boy standing before her.

Draco's eyes fell down to Hermione's stomach and his mouth dropped open. "God Granger your huge!'

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Malfoy.' Hermione spat angrily as he chuckled and smirked at her.

"Have you seen mother today?' Draco asked incredulously as Hermione shook her head in dismay.

"No and at the rate I'm growing I won't be pregnant for very long,' she tried to laugh but the smile that left her face showed that she was scared and confused about everything.

"If you need to read or find out information, you'll find it in there,' Draco's eyes met Hermione's and Hermione could see that even he was scared, but he also looked excited about the whole prospect of becoming a father.

"Thank you,' Came Hermione's soft reply. As she suddenly found herself rubbing circles around her stomach with her hands. "I might do that,'

"I'll get Kaven to bring you some food and drink up if you like so you can eat while you read...'

Hermione nodded with a small smile plying her lips once more. "That would be nice,' she replied softly as she moved forward as her bump touched against Draco's torso, leaning in and placing a soft kiss on his lips before loving back.

Blushing, Hermione turned and walked into the library to begin her search on her mysterious pregnancy.

A/N Hey guys. So I'm sorry this is a short chapter, but it's the best I could do. I'm trying to get the plot going but also trying to make the chapters interesting.
