Only a day late this time lol. And what everyone has been waiting for...finally Draco gives Hermione the gift from his mother. I hope you all like it. I can't wait to hear what you all think. Hermione also makes a little bit of leadway with her parents. As always response to reviews are at the bottom.
“I still can’t believe I didn’t think about birth control,” Hermione said as Ginny continued to rub herback.
They were in Hermione’s little bathroom. Once Draco had asked her about it, Hermione gave Teddy back to Harry and grabbed Ginny’s hand. As soon as they were out of the common room, Hermione told her about that morning and the night before. Before she could continue, Ginny had whisked she off to the Hospital Wing.
“You will feel nauseous for about six hours so stay near your room just in case you vomit,” Madam Pomfrey had told her as Hermione drank the potion she was given. “After that you will feel tired and sluggish until probably lunch time tomorrow. Tuesday morning, before classes, come see me so we can start a potion chart for you.”
When Hermione and Ginny had returned to the common room, it was empty. Ginny had turned to ask where everyone was, only to notice Hermione running towards her room.
“I can’t believe Draco didn’t think about the contraceptive spell.” Ginny said gently putting Hermione’s hair in a braid.
“We are both to blame,” Hermione said weakly. “We both should have thought about protection.
Knock. Knock. Ginny moved from under Hermione’s head. Hermione heard whispering coming from her door, but made no effort to move or even open her eyes.
“Who was it?” Hermione asked when she felt Ginny slide her legs under her head again.
“It’s just me, love.” Hermine smiled and sat up far too quick. Luckily they were still close to the toilet.
“So much for water,” Hermione said as she laid back down on Draco’s lap. “You really don’t need to see me like this. I’m fine if you want to leave,” she added as she closed her eyes again.
Draco brushed a few strands a stray hairs out of her face. “Love, there is nowhere else I would rather be then here taking care of you.”
Hermione looked up and smiled. “I would kiss you right now, bit since I just threw up, I think I’ll wait.”
Draco bent down and kissed her forehead. “How long have you been in here?”
“Probably close to an hour.”
“Only five more hours to go. How are you feeling?” Draco continued to lightly rub her back.
“Stiff, honestly,” Hermione replied, turning to her other side trying to get comfortable. “Every time I get up, though, it makes me dizzy and throw up again.”
“Would you like me to carry you to your bed?”
“I’m too heavy for you.” Draco held back a laugh and instead placed one arm under her head and the other under her legs. He moved ever so slowly as to not make Hermione feel dizzy. Once he had laid her on the bed she looked up at him and smiled. “You never cease to amaze me.”
“Rest love. And don’t worry about getting up if you need to throw up. I hope you don’t mind, but I used the cup in the bathroom to make a bowl.”
“You’re not going to leave me are you?” Hermione asked, reaching up to grab his arm.
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” he said sitting against her headboard.
Hermione threw on arm around Draco’s torso and they drifted into a comfortable silence.
“How did you know that I only had about five hours left?” Asked Hermione after about thirty minutes.
“Pansy and Daphne have taken this potion many, many times throughout the years. They have actually, somehow, gotten the nausea to pass after about three hours.” Draco continued to trace circles on her back.
Were any of those times because of you, is what Hermione wanted to ask, but thought better of it, given the state she was in right now.

Draco rolled over and looked at his watch. Ten thirty already? He felt Hermione stir next to him.
“What time is it?”
“Ten thirty.” Draco replied.
“Already?” Hermione questioned sleepily. “It feels like only a couple hours.”
“How do you feel?” Draco said rolling onto his side so he could brush some hair out of her face.
“Better. Still feel a little tired, but I don’t want to go back to sleep yet.”
“What would you like to do then?”
“Well, we got side tracked last night so question eight, how did dinner with your mom go?”
“It was fine. I guess Mr. Greengrass invested a lot of money into my father’s – now mother’s – business earlier last week.” Draco looked at Hermione to see a very confused look on her face. He smiled at her before explaining. “Many years ago, the Greengrasses had invested in my father’s business when he was starting out. Once my father was imprisoned and my mother called off the engagement, they withdrew all of their money.”
“So what made them change their mind?”
“I think they did it as an apology more then anything. Mother, of course, continued to ask questions about what could have happened at school to cause this. So naturally, I told her about Astoria threatening to kill my girlfriend in front of half the school.”
“What did she say?”
“Well she continued to question me because she said I was avoiding telling her who I was with.”
“You mean like what you are doing now?”
Draco laughed. “I told her I wasn’t sure if she would approve and she kind of…figured the rest out.” Draco sat up and looked at Hermione. “She is quite happy about me being with you. She insisted on me giving you this.” Draco pulled a box out of his pocket and enlarged it. “From her.”
Hermione sat up and took the box Draco was handing her. She could tell right away that it was a jewelry box. She slowly opened the lid and saw a beautiful bracelet inside. “Oh, my goodness. It’s absolutely gorgeous.” The chain was white gold and had two hearts connected together. Inside the two hearts near the tops were two stones. One was emerald and the other was peridot.
“I always wondered where mother had put this.” Draco said as he placed it on her left wrist. “This was a gift to her for her wedding. It was given to her by her muggleborn friend before my father forced my mother to cut all ties with her.” Hermione looked up at him and he smiled. “Yes, my mother had a muggleborn friend. I’m guessing that’s why she gave it to you.”
“To show her acceptance of me.” Hemrione smiled.
“Yes.” Draco leaned toward her and kissed her gently.
“You will have to tell her thank you for me.” Hermione looked at the bracelet again.
“I’m sure she will want to meet you officially, sooner rather than later. You can tell her than.”
Hermione laughed. “Okay.”
“Question eight for me. What are you going to do about your parents?”
Hermione thought about that for a few minutes. “I’m going to write back and tell them to wait for a little while because I don’t think my parents would be too happy to come home while I’m still at school. I haven’t decided if I’m going to send them the memories or just go out there after graduation.”
“Well, let’s do one thing at a time. Let’s start with the letter. I’ll be next to you the whole time.” Draco pulled her close and summoned some parchment and a quill to them.
LadyShire: I'm sorry. I hope this makes up for it. I'm glad to hear that you love my story so much. I hope you like the gift and the meaning behind it. And what Hermione has decided to do about her parents. You're reviews are what kepe me going. :)
