The Other Granger- COMPLETED

Chapter 46

Draco's POV:

I was running as fast as I could towards the exit of the Ministry of Magic. I had to get to Elaine before she started to worry.

"Malfoy!" a voice yelled from behind me. I tried pushing past towards the exit, but whoever was yelling my name had grabbed the back of my shirt. "Why didn't you turn around?" Harry asked me. He was panting as he looked at me with worry. "I have to get home," I replied, very eager to go get Elaine. I knew she'd want her parents and Hermione to know she was in labor before anyone else, so I hesitated in telling Harry. "Well, I hope you're planning to come right back here...because I have news for you," Harry said, keeping the suspense between us at an all time high. "What is it?" I asked. I braced myself for the worst. "Your father is getting released from Azkaban very soon...they're deciding the date right now," Harry explained as I felt my heart sink to the ground.

"What do you mean they're releasing him?" I spat, feeling even more anxious than before. "I've tried talking to Kingsley about it, but he fully believes that your father is ready. Apparently Kingsley even used truth serum on him...your dad has had a change of heart....wants to meet his grandchild," Harry added. "How does he know she's pregnant?" I asked, now feeling very overwhelmed and even angry with all this information. "I don't know...I've checked every paper since you two have been married and there's nothing in there announcing it," Harry explained. "Please...just stall for me, okay? I have to go home," I said, looking at Harry pleadingly. "Is she-?" Harry asked, looking at my fidgeting hands. "Yes...she is," I said. Harry gave me a knowing nod, and I sped off back home.

I apparated instantly to Diagon Alley and ran up the stairs towards our apartment door.

When I walked in, I saw Elaine sitting on the couch. She looked very calm to me, but when she saw me walk inside, she panicked. Jason had just walked out of our bedroom. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked him as he stopped dead in his tracks. He had stuff piled on our coffee table...stuff she would need for the hospital. "I-I just," he stuttered, but I stopped him. "Just leave," I said. He looked at me, and then at my wife, and then again at me. "Sorry," he muttered. He made his way towards Elaine, kissed her gently on the forehead and wished her luck. Then, he left.

Elaine's POV:

As if giving birth wasn't stressful enough, of course Jason was still in the apartment by the time Draco got home. "I don't even want to know right now," Draco said as I was about to open my mouth and explain what Jason was doing in our home. "Are you okay?" I asked, noticing how tense he seemed. "My father's getting out...he wants to meet our baby," Draco yelled more at himself than at me. "Honey relax," I said, trying to stand up just as another contraction arrived. "How does he even know that your pregnant?" Draco asked. I avoided his stare, and he knew right away. "It was you...wasn't it?" Draco asked, putting his finger on my chin, forcing me to make eye contact with him. "He deserved to know, Draco," I said, preparing myself for Draco to yell and scream. "It wasn't your decision to make!" he yelled as I closed my eyes shut.

Back in the orphanage, closing my eyes was sometimes the closest thing I could get to privacy, and it sort of became a habit of mine whenever people yelled at me or I got bad news.

As Draco continued to yell and scream, he took my glass of water and threw it at the TV. Glass shattered everywhere and there was a huge crack in the television. I've never seen him so angry before as the TV screen shattered onto the floor.

In an instant, Jason came plowing back into the room. With one quick swipe, Jason had punched Draco's face and knocked him onto the floor unconscious. "Oh my god," I muttered, completely shocked at what just happened. "I thought he threw something at you," Jason said, grabbing my hand to help me up. "We can't leave," I said, trying to sit back down. "He's dangerous Elaine he could've hurt you," Jason said, placing a hand on each of my shoulders, looking intently at me. "Listen, we'll tell George that he's here before we go...but we really need to get you to the hospital," Jason said, motioning to Draco on the floor, and then helping me stand as my legs began to grow weaker. "He could've hurt you," Jason muttered as he supported me and walked me down the stairs. He also muttered many many foul words, ones I would never repeat.
