The next morning Hermione woke up early.

After a lovely lunch the day before the group went off to the various lessons and by the end of the day Hermione was exhausted and went to bed fairly early.

Since she was up much before she needed to be and had a good hour before Draco would wake for breakfast and their lessons in the castle, Hermione decided that she would try and use the time productively.

She sat at their little dinning table in the living room with her school bag and retrieved her defence essay, which unusually for her was not finished yet. She supposed the baby was just taking more of her energy than she could handle and not being weeks ahead on homework wasn't the end of the world, although she would never admit it out loud.

She poked around in her bag a little to find her quill and came across the envelope with the scan photo's inside. The baby in the photo was sucking its thumb and kicking its legs this morning and Hermione felt herself smile and become tearful again.

She decided that maybe she should get the photo's sent out to the family now while she had time, so she got three separate pieces of clean parchment out and wrote letters to her mother, Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Malfoy telling them about the scan.

After enclosing a scan photo in each envelope and addressing them she went back to her defence homework and waited for her husband to get up.

…

Just under an hour later Hermione had finished her assignment. She put it in her bag and was about to go into the kitchen to put the kettle on when she heard movement coming from the bedroom; a moment later Draco walked in looking extremely sexy with bed hair and a pair of boxer shorts on.

He kissed Hermione good morning then knelt down to her abdomen "good morning little one" he said before placing a ton of kisses on her baby bump.

Hermione giggled, "Good morning to you too, would you like to have breakfast here this morning? I'm feeling a little queasy; I don't think I can handle the Great Hall at the moment"

"Anything you want babe, I'm going to have a shower and get dressed, see you in a bit" Draco turned and made his way to the bathroom, with Hermione watching his luscious bottom the whole way there.

Half an hour later they were both dressed and sitting at the table eating breakfast and reading their copies of the daily profit "So what had you up so early this morning darling" Draco enquired over the top of his newspaper.

Hermione shrugged "I just woke up and I was feeling a little restless so I thought I would finish some homework. I actually wrote a few letters; maybe we could stop by the Owlery on the way to Charms this morning"

"I'll take them. It's icy up there, I don't want to risk you slipping or something" Draco was determined to take care of his wife and child any way he could.

"Okay, thanks. Come on, we better get going" Hermione stood and vanished their breakfast with a flick of her wand before picking up her bag and walking to the front door.

Draco followed behind and took her bag from her. "That's too heavy for you to be carrying around." He said firmly.

Hermione was happy that Draco was being so nice and helpful but he was taking things a little too far this morning for her tastes "Draco, I can carry my school bag, it's not that heavy"

"I will not have you putting unnecessary strain on yourself. You're already tired, let me carry it."

Hermione let out an exasperated sigh "fine but I want it back when you go to the Owlery."

They got into the lifts and went down to the entrance of the Marriage Wing to use the fireplaces. A quick check of the communal notice board informed them this weekend was to be a Hogsmeade weekend.

"Oh good, I was wondering when it was going to be, we need to do some Christmas shopping" said Draco.

Hermione really was not looking forward to that. She already hated shopping. The thought of shopping while pregnant was not very appealing at all. "Do you really need me? I won't be of any use."

"It's our first Christmas together, of course you need to come. I already know what to get everyone; you won't hate it. I'm not Ginny; I promise I won't endlessly drag you around pointless shops. Okay?"

"Okay, fine. What do you want to get everyone?" Hermione tried to show some enthusiasm.

"Well, I always buy mother her favourite perfume and since I won't be seeing father I'm not going to worry about him. I thought we might buy your parents an owl so that they don't have to wait for us to write to them before they can write to you, now with the baby I'm sure your mum will want to be able to contact you whenever she wants"

"That is a lovely thought Draco, thank you, but please don't go over the top for me and my family."

"I'm buying them an owl, that's all. And I will spoil you as much as I want and there is nothing you can do about it so you might as well enjoy it." Draco seemed to be rather excited about the prospect of going shopping.

"Okay fine, I know there is no point arguing this particular point with you. Come on lets go over to the castle."

They entered the fireplace together and with Draco's arms protectively surrounding Hermione they flooed over to the castle to start their day.

…

After a double period of Charms and a free period spent in the library, Hermione and Draco went to the Great Hall for lunch. They sat at the Gryffindor table and were joined a moment later by Harry and Ron.

"Hey guys, where's Ginny and Luna?" enquired Hermione.

Ron spoke up first "Luna is in the toilet being sick, apparently we've made it to morning sickness. Ginny went to see if she was okay since I can't go into the girl's bathroom."

"Not that it stopped us going into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom over the past 7 years; you're just squeamish and won't admit it." Harry said laughing at the indignant look on Ron's face.

"I am not squeamish!"

Draco laughed along with Harry and Hermione watched all three boys with an exasperated look. She put a hand over her belly and spoke to the baby "looks like we're surrounded by buffoon's little one."

"Hey, I am not a buffoon. Ignore mummy son, I can't speak for these two but I am a very intelligent and sophisticated person." Draco said to Hermione's belly whilst smirking up at his wife.

"Lose the smirk Draco, and who says it's a son, I could be carrying your daughter right now."

"Not likely, the Malfoy's haven't had a girl born into the family for centuries"

Hermione already knew this fact from her research into Voldermort and his death eaters from before the trio went on the run. "The Malfoy's have never had a muggleborn marry into their family either, things can always change you know."

"I guess we'll find out in six months" Draco didn't mind really, but it was fun watching Hermione fight back a little.

Ron and Harry had watched the exchange with rather bemused looks on their faces. Harry decided to break into the conversation first "Does that mean you're not going to find out what you're having at your twenty week scan? Ginny wants to; she says she's sure it's a boy since the Weasley's like the Malfoy's never have girls. She was the first in quite a few generations apparently."

Draco answered, "i want to but Hermione says she wants to wait and be surprised at the birth so we're going to wait."

"Luna and I are going to find out too." Ron added.

At that moment Ginny walked in followed by a rather pale Luna. Ron went over to her straight away and put his arm around her as they walked back to the table.

Ginny looked a little queasy "fat lot of good you are Ronald, I'm in no condition to be rubbing your wife's back as she pukes her guts out. Not sure how I managed not to be sick along side her. When are you going to get over your thing with vomit?" Ginny pushed away the plate Harry had just filled in front of her.

"Come on hun, you have to eat, you only had some toast this morning, you must be hungry." Harry was a little worried, as Ginny had gone off her food since she started getting sick.

"Can I just have some fruit, just looking at that pie is making me feel sick?" Ginny did look a little green.

"Sure sweetheart, hang on I'll get you some." Harry took her plate away and walked further down the table to get Ginny something to eat.

"Well aren't we just a barrel of fun, all suffering from morning sickness and with husbands that are useless when it comes to anything even remotely connected to vomit." Hermione said trying to cheer her closest girl friends up.

Harry came back with a plate of fruit and Ginny ran straight of the hall with her hand over her mouth at the sight of the plate. "Oh man, I'm gonna make sure she's okay, see you guys later." Harry went after his wife.

"Anyone want to go for a walk around the lake before our next classes?" Draco wanted to get away from the hall before one of the other pregnant girls around him decided to chuck up their lunch.

…

After double Transfiguration the group all met up again in the hall for dinner. Both Luna and Ginny were feeling much better but Hermione's queasiness had come back full force.

Professor McGonagall stood at the head table halfway through dinner and silenced the hall with a glare at the tables "Would all sixth and seventh years please stay behind after dinner?"

"Oh no, now what do they want? Isn't it enough that we're all married and impregnated, what else could they possibly want?" Hermione had really had enough of all the announcements this year.

Once all the fifth years and under had been ushered out of the hall by the other teachers Professor McGonagall stood again "Just a small announcement, as by the end of the school most of you will have either had a baby or will be pregnant, so we have decided to add a class to your schedule. Now before you all groan there will be no homework or extra work, you all have free periods and the classes have been slotted in to them."

She stepped down from the head table and walked over to the students that had all grouped together when the younger students had left the hall. "We want to help you as much as possible with your new families so we are adding a childcare class to be taught by myself and professor Sprout. As I said before there will be no extra work, we will be teaching the basics of childcare such as feeding and changing so that you are as prepared as possible for the time ahead. Classes will begin after your Christmas break"

Professor McGonagall truly hated what her students were being put through by the ministry and would do anything to help them.

….

That evening Draco and Hermione were curled up in bed.

Draco was drawing circles on Hermione's baby bump again as she tried to read a book on Transfiguring animals into objects for her NEWTS.

Draco was kissing her bump and whispering things to the baby. "You know if your trying to distract me, it's not going to work." the truth was it was working well but Hermione was not going to admit that to him.

"I am doing no such thing. I'm having a conversation with my son, you carry on reading like a good little bookworm." Draco smirked up at his wife then carried on playing with her bump.

"Again, you don't know that it's a son, you could be talking to our daughter right now. And I am not a bookworm; I just like to be prepared."

Draco crawled up so he was face to face with Hermione "You my dear are a massive bookworm and I. Love. That. About. You" he punctuated each word with a kiss on the lips.

Upon his last word Hermione kissed him back and dropped her book on the bed so that she could wrap her arms around his neck. They kissed for a few moments and just as Hermione was beginning to get really turned on, Draco pulled away and moved back down to her belly and continued whispering to the baby as if he hadn't just completely blown her mind with his incredible mouth.

"Erm…. Draco, what was that?"

"Hmm, what?"

"What was that?"

"Well, you really need to get prepared for an exam that we're not doing for another six months and that you could have taken when you were thirteen and passed with flying colours so you carry on reading and I'll continue what I'm doing."

He bent his head and began kissing her belly again.

Hermione pushed him off and got up off the bed. Draco had only been playing with her but now he was worried that he might have actually upset her.

"Draco, I suggest that you lay down on your side of the bed right now." she had her hands on her hips and her little nightdress was riding up slightly because of her bump.

Draco moved over to his pillow and lay back and closed his eyes. He was internally berating himself for upsetting her when he felt the bed shift and opened his eyes to find his wife straddling him.

"Never mess with a hormonal pregnant woman Draco, it will get you nothing but trouble." She proceeded to thoroughly kiss him and when she felt him harden beneath her she sank down on him and showed him just how much trouble he was in.

….

The following Saturday was the final Hogsmeade weekend before Christmas. Hermione had arranged after shopping with Draco to meet up with just the girls for lunch.

Their first stop was the post office, where Draco organized a postal order of his mother's favourite perfume from the popular perfume shop in Diagon Alley.

Their next stop was Netty's Nocturnal Necessities, the specialist owl shop where Draco intended to buy his in-law's Christmas present. "Honestly Draco, please don't spend too much on my parents." Hermione felt rather bad about the way her father had behaved during their last Hogsmeade trip.

"I'm buying them an owl and having it sent to the Manor and I don't want to hear any more arguments about it." Draco was determined to buy the owl because he really thought that Hermione should have a relationship with her parents that was separate from him, just in case her father never came around to forgiving him.

He went into the store and chose an owl not unlike his own, although this one had beautiful chestnut feather, just the colour of Hermione's hair. He also purchased enough food and treats for a few months and an instruction manual for the care of magical birds and organized for the bird to be delivered to the Manor.

After leaving the store Draco walked Hermione to Madam Puddifoot's. It was still just as tackily decorated as it had been when Harry had visited it with Cho Chang and the happy cherubs that were throwing confetti around made Draco feel sick.

"Okay babe, I'll leave you here to wait for the girls." Draco kissed her and left the little teashop.

'Oh I hope he doesn't buy me anything over the top now' thought Hermione as she waited for Ginny, Luna and Pansy.

All three girls arrived together, carrying more shopping bags than Hermione thought possible in the few hours they had been out of Hogwarts and they sat down to lunch.

After Madam Puddifoot herself had served them "After all, it's not often I have one of the Golden trio in here," they started to talk.

Ginny of course kicked off the conversation "I have never been so tired and sick in my life and we fought a war recently! Pregnancy is bloody hard work." she said whilst taking a sip of her drink.

"Try being pregnant with twins, its double the trouble as George likes to say," added Pansy.

Hermione was glad Pansy had agreed to come to lunch, after all she was in fact related by marriage to the other two girls at the table and Hermione had come to enjoy her company now that she had stopped pushing everyone away all the time.

Luna seemed to be off in dreamland "Err, Luna are you okay," asked Hermione.

"Oh yes, just thinking about my morning with Ron, he was ever so rampant this morning…"

"Whoa Whoa Whoa, I really don't want to know thanks Luna, that's my brother your talking about," Ginny was covering her ears and closing her eyes for good measure.

"Actually Luna, I don't think any of us need the details of Ronald's libido while all our gag reflexes are so sensitive thanks all the same." Hermione struggled to keep a straight face as Pansy said this but failed miserably when Luna sighed and went back to daydreaming. Obviously Ron had made quite an impression that morning.

Hermione decided to change the subject "So have you all finished your Christmas shopping then?" looking at the bags she thoroughly hoped so.

"Almost" said Ginny, "Just mum and dad to buy for now. Harry and Ron said they would sort out my brothers so that we didn't have to carry too much. What about you?"

"Well Draco has bought his mum and my parents presents and had them delivered to the Manor and now I think he's more than likely shopping for me. I have no idea what to get him though."

"Well, with Draco something personal would probably be your best bet. His parents always bought him anything he said he wanted but they never really put any feeling into it. He will definitely appreciate something small and thoughtful over something big and flashy." said Pansy and Hermione was very thankful for the insight.

"Thanks Pansy, would you guys mind coming with me and helping me choose something after we finish here?"

They agreed and after finishing and paying for their food the foursome made their way down the high street to get some inspiration. Eventually Hermione spotted a small jewellery store with faded letters that informed they were about to enter 'Ferguson's Fine Fancies'.

Hermione looked around a little and eventually spotted a thin platinum men's bracelet. Hermione went over to the gentlemen behind the counter that she assumed was Mr. Ferguson and asked to see it properly.

"It is made from the finest quality platinum and has this small area here that can be engraved on. Engraving is fully included in the price if you do have a message for the intended person" Mr. Ferguson informed her.

Hermione really liked the bracelet and had not seen anything else that look right for her husband. "How much is it please Mr. Ferguson?" Hermione enquired.

"It's thirty Galleons Mrs….. I'm sorry I didn't catch your name…" He knew exactly who he was talking to and he knew her married name as all the weddings that had taken place due to the Marriage Law had been announced in the Daily Profit.

"Mrs. Malfoy, but you can call me Hermione. I would like to purchase it and I would like you to engrave a short message." Hermione wrote what she wanted on a piece of parchment and handed Mr. Ferguson the seal Draco had provided her with after their wedding that allowed money to be taken straight out of the Malfoy vault at Gringotts, sort of like a muggle debit card.

After completing the purchase and thanking the gentleman the girls left the shop and made their way down the street to finish their shopping before going back to Hogwarts.
