Chapter 15: A Name

The next few weeks passed by quite well. For a change nothing untoward happened those 3 weeks after I had found out I was pregnant for which I'm highly grateful for. Valentine's day was just around the corner and I had a feeling something special was going to happen. Normally I hated Valentines Day. The love, the happiness, the girls trying their very best to get a Valentine and the guys buying, flowing and wooing girls in every corny and obvious way possible. Valentine's day was just a day where your hormones can run free and you can get as many flowers and eat as much chocolate as you want. I suppose I never liked the holiday (or whatever you call it) for the very reason that I was always alone but now like every other hormonal teenager I couldn't wait.

I was also pretty nervous, for more reasons than one. Firstly I was still afraid that once again I'd be alone. That Draco wouldn't do anything special and the day would pass like any other day. The second reason was that I didn't know what to do. Shouldn't I do something special for Draco? Maybe get flowers? Decorate my room with rose petals and the like? Does he even like these things?

So you can see I was pretty confused and this confusion would always lead to one thing...panic and lots of stress. My Blood Pressure must be off the scale, the back of my neck throbbing and my veins pumping like mad. I was ready to burst and every five minutes Ginny would tell me to calm down. But how can I? I mean I know this was just a stupid commercial holiday but I wasn't sure whether I should forget it or plan something good. What would Draco think? If I didn't do anything, would he feel sad and left out? Or if I did do something would he feel as though I was like every other girl. Like the girls that wanted chocolate and roses and those lovey-dovey things?

In the end I decided not to do anything much. When Valentine's day rolled along and I heard the shower head go on in the bathroom belonging to Draco, I snuck in his room and put rose on his pillow and then snuck back into my room and into the bathroom to take a shower of my own. It wasn't much but it's the thought that counts right?

When I changed into my clothes for the day; a red full-sleeved shirt with a low square neck and a frilly black skirt, I sat in my room with Fred and George's Extendable Ears and tried to listen through the wall in Draco's room. I wanted to hear what kind of reaction he had. Finally after hearing almost nothing I heard the door creak open in his room and he was walking around it, most likely changing his clothes and whatnot. A lot of shuffling continued but no sign of Draco finding the rose. In the end I heard the door slam shut and the footsteps fading.

I was clearly disappointed, but I decided to sit in my room and wait. Maybe he would come straight away to my room and tell me how happy he was and bring a bouquet of flowers and tell me how much he loves me.

A half-hour passed of silence.

"So Hermione how old is the fetus?" I heard Ginny ask me in her room. I had gone there to help her pick out clothes (though I wasn't much of a help having have not much of a taste in clothing) because Harry was taking her to a restaurant in Hogsmeade that night since it was Valentines Day and all. It was so romantic! Harry really did care for Ginny and it was so sweet!

Draco and I, sadly, haven't met each other the whole day. I didn't know what happened to him. The only time I saw him was glimpses of him in the Great Hall for either lunch or dinner (I missed Breakfast because I was waiting for him) and even then all he did was wink at me like he always does. Nothing gave away a hint that he got the rose. Maybe I should've gave him a note telling him it was me. Maybe he thought it was one of those many girls that are fans of his. But these excuses didn't work because I had a feeling he got the rose. Maybe he's planning something for me? I hope...

It took a minute for me to remember what Madam Pomfrey said. "At the time she said around 2 weeks. Now I suppose it's 5?" I said picking up her knee-high dragon-skinned boot that Charlie had given her.

"So weren't you using contraceptive spells or a potion?" she said whilst changing behind the screen.

I took a minute to ponder this. "I was. I must have forgotten. I take the monthly potions and I suppose I missed a day between the months or something," I said shrugging my shoulders. It really didn't matter to me. I'm happy I'm pregnant. Ginny may not be, but it's not like I care if she's happy for me or not just as long as she doesn't curse it or anything.

"Are you going to tell?" she asked, coming out of the screen. She was wearing a nice black velvet dress with red elegant embroidery. She was going to wear a fully red dress but it clashed with her hair so she chose this instead. It stopped right above her ankle and the neck was a long 'V' that seemed to go down forever and stopped at her stomach. It showed a lot of cleavage I must say and I turned my head away when I saw her, embarrassed. Harry should be pleased, I thought grinning.

"Draco and I haven't talked about it yet," I said truthfully. We never talked. Like I said whenever I tried we'd just have sex again.

She picked up matching green shoes, not too high-heeled, and pretty plain and simple. Taking out her wand she magicked all the many clothes she was trying on back into her wardrobe and chest. She quickly dashed some makeup on while I was laying down on my back on her four poster bed with my hands under my head. Her roommates were out, probably with their boyfriends or something like that which made it possible for Ginny to dress up without having them looking over at her.

"How do I look?" she asked me, twirling around in her dress.

"Wonderful," I said. I meant it. She really did look good and once again I was envious. I pictured Draco pushing the straps aside, exposing her perky pink breast, his hand massaging her other one through the soft velvet material. His tongue licking around it to their peaks, savoring the feel of her flesh...

STOP IT! I cried out to myself, ending the mental image. It wasn't Ginny. It was Ron. Ginny and Draco would never do that to me.

Somehow my words were shaky in my head.

Ginny was waving her hand in front of my face. "Earth to Hermione? You there?"

I snapped out of my disturbing thoughts and managed to smile. "Huh?"

"I asked do I look okay?" she repeated.

"Oh yes! But I'm afraid Harry might want to skip dinner and jump straight into dessert," I said laughing.
Ginny was too and pretty soon she had left and I was returning back to the Head's quarters...to Draco. Hoping that he hadn't forgotten that it was Valentine's Day. Hoping that he had a surprise for me.

When I walked through the portrait I imagined the whole place in candles and roses, a beautiful romantic setting just for the two of us.

I had none of that. Instead the place was just ordinary, with books scattered on the floor, quills all over the place and papers.

Draco was nowhere to be seen.

Disappointed, I walked up the marble stairs to my room. But before I turned the handle shaped like a lion, I braced myself for a surprise. Maybe he's waiting for me here.

It wasn't the case. Instead I saw a simple red rose and letter next to it.

My stomach did a flip and I held up the rose in one hand, smelled it, and with the other I picked up the letter. I was shaking in anticipation.

To the sexy mother of my baby,

(I was blushing when I read that.)

Look for a surprise in your wardrobe, put it on and come inside my room. The door will be open.

My stomach did a few flips, my heart swelling in happiness. So he did remember! He really did! I dashed to my mahogany wardrobe and found a simple red dress hanging on the hook on the door. I took it out and held it out in my hand, admiring the elegant designs embroidered on the dress. It was made from Chinese silk, the material soft and light as a feather. I laid it out on my bed and scurried off to my dresser when in my drawer my bras and underwear were at. I took out a silky lace crimson strapless bra, one of my favorites with a matching red thong and began to strip out of my clothes and hurried out to put the bra and thong on. Then I walked over to my bed and put the dress on.

I felt as though I was naked. The dress was so wonderful and soft; it hung on me like a second skin. The dress was one of those kinds with no sleeves on the left side and a full long sleeve in the other. The length of the dress went down to my middle thigh in one side and passed my toes in the other. I quickly donned on my red shoes and walked as fast as I could without falling to a mirror where I admired myself for a good 3 minutes. I then realized I didn't look that good seeing as how my hair was all messed up in a pony tail that was half coming off. I quickly took the black rubber band off and looked for a brush and attacked my hair. For some reason it wasn't in that much off a mess but still I pulled my hair up in a very tight and conservative bun with a scarlet clip securing it and headed out the door for Draco's room.

I was so happy, I felt as though I was floating down the stairs that led to my room, and then up the stairs that led to his. Pretty soon I came in front of the door and I couldn't help but remember the time when I fell asleep right here outside the door 3 weeks ago trying to get Draco to listen to me. I remembered how heartbroken and torn up I felt then. It was the most horrible day of my life...

I shook myself out of my thoughts and opened the door, bracing myself again for a room decorated with flowers and chocolates, candles drifting in the air, but was disappointed to find none of that.

Again my heart dropped a few notches but I was happy to see another rose and a note on top of his green velvet comforter. I picked the letter up and tore open the seal of the dragon and read the note that said,

Floo to the Malfoy Cottage...

I picked up the rose, twirled it around my fingers and did what I was told. The suspense was killing me. Surprisingly floo-ing to the Malfoy Cottage hadn't left any soot on me. I suppose it's because it was cleaned by the house elves. Slave labor, I thought disgustingly. Perhaps I should talk to him about SPEW. That is if we ever do talk without jumping straight on to sex.

Once I got to the 'cottage' as he called it, my jaw dropped to the floor. I couldn't believe he called this a cottage. It was probably 2 times the size of my house! I stepped out of the green flames and was again disappointed to see the place was empty and on the coffee table there was another rose and a letter. I picked up the red rose and added it to my collection and then read the note. Go up the stairs and open the last door at the end of the hallway.

Again I did what I was told, swearing all sort of profanities I picked up from Draco. I seriously was getting tired of all the suspense. This better be the last note I get, I thought to myself, or I'll go straight home. My feet were killing me in these shoes of mine.

Finally I reached the very last door at the end of the hallway and was delighted to see that the handle was designed as a rose.

How sweet, I thought to myself and turned the knob and entered the room. The room was pretty much empty. There was a large king-sized bed in the center in different shades of red and the rest of the room was pretty much empty. My stomach growled and I walked inside. There was a door at the far end of the room and I opened it.

Finally I was met by Draco's smirking face. He was sitting down on an ebony chair and had stood up to greet me by taking my hand and kissing it. I was taken away in awe at the sight of the place. We were on a large balcony that overlooked the edge of a forest and underneath was a small pond. The place was wonderful in it's simplicity. There was a small table with a candlelight dinner for two and a bouquet of roses as the centerpiece; nothing too fancy.

"You look truly beautiful," he told me seating me down on one of the ebony chairs and pushing it in towards the table just like a gentleman. He took a seat opposite me and gave me a wonderful smile.

"Thank you," I said, blushing. "For both the dress and the compliment."

"And thank you for that wonderful rose," he said and took the rose I gave him out from inside the pocket of his robes.

I smiled at him. "It's not nearly as wonderful as this," I said meaning the whole romantic arrangement he made. Now that I was seated, I was able to look around me. The view from here took my breath away. The forest was thick and immense and I doubted that if someone ventured off in there, they'd be able to get out. Owls hooted in the distance, crickets and grasshoppers singing, an occasional bird flew around the area. The pond wasn't really a pond. It looked more like a lagoon and from here I was able to see the small waterfall around a mile away from where we were sitting. The water was frozen, the place covered by a sheet of snow.

Pretty soon we were eating our dinner in the silence as a tall butler served us. I didn't speak, perhaps still in awe of the whole romantic setting. When dinner was done, the butler, whose name I haven't found out, had served us our dessert. I don't recall what it was because I was still too shocked to register it all. When that too was done, we were poured a glass of Phoenix Champagne and as the glass met my lips I caught Draco's gaze on me.

"Thank you, Draco," I said finally breaking the silence. "I really love what you did. You made this day very special for me."

He smirked again and then said, "Well I wasn't going to let Potter outdo me now am I?"

I laughed lightly and then said, "Oh yes your pride wouldn't have that now would it?"

He laughed too and I couldn't help but notice the happy glow he gave off as he did so. Then abruptly he had stopped and looked at me seriously. I couldn't help but feel awkward and a little nervous. The look he was giving me told me something was going to happen. Good or bad? I'm not too sure.

Then suddenly with my utter shock and amazement he stood up and came to me, taking my hands in his and he sunk down on one knee.

What in Merlin's Toenails was he doing?

"Hermione..." he began, his voice gentle, floating in the air. "...Will you marry me?"

Stupidly my mouth opened and I was gaping at him.

Did he just ask me what I think he asked me? Was he being serious? Well he was...but still did he really want to marry me?

My silence was making him nervous and I could tell he was getting a bit sad, but still he reached into his pocket and took out a box and opened it and showed me what was inside.

It was the largest and shiniest rock I have ever seen. The diamond was the side of my fingernail and it was inlaid in a gold and silver band that had intricate designs carved it. The whole ring was so beautiful I was drooling.

"Yes. Of course," I heard myself say and my heart skipped a few beats as the ring was slipped through my finger and Draco swooped me up in his arms and kissed me long and hard.

I was so elated, I hoped the day would never end and this blissful pleasure would go on forever. I hoped beyond hope that nothing would take this smile off my face for it was indeed the happiest day of my life. We were no longer enemies, acquaintances or fuck-buddies. He was my betrothal and I his and we would soon get married.

Our relationship finally had a name.
