Hermione froze, dropping her spoon into her food causing hot sauce to spatter on the table. A piece of platinum blond hair fell into Draco's face from under his hood as he reached across Hermione to grab a pile of napkins. He set to work cleaning up the mess, waiting for her to say something, anything.
She peered down at him at a loss for words. He glanced up looking into her eyes. It surprised her that she wasn't scared of him, instead she was flooded with the urge to kiss him, then slap him, maybe kick him, and then kiss him again. The hormonal mood shifts were driving her mad.
"What do you want?" She snapped looking back down at her meal.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was under the impression that a man had a right to know if he was going to be a father. My mistake." He snarked folding his arms across his chest.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She lied taking a bite of her hot sauce soup.
He boldly put his hand on her belly under the table. She stiffened under his touch but made no move to pull away. A distinct ripple from her stomach pushed against his hand followed by another more prominent jab. His eyes widened, his breath caught. "You are a terrible liar." He whispered, softly rubbing his hand across her bump in awe.
Hermione instinctually placed her hand on top of his, tears spilling onto her cheeks. "June 13th." She breathed. Draco looked up at her arching an eyebrow. "He's due June 13th." She continued squeezing his hand. "I'm so sorry I didn't say anything sooner. It's just... When I saw that on your arm..."
Draco put a finger to her lips. "It's okay. I know I fucked up, and I know I'm not even remotely close to a knight in shining armor, but I do love you." He glanced down at her belly before looking back up at her with complete adoration. "Both of you."
He brought a shaky hand up to the side of her face, rubbing his thumb along her cheek bone. The pub began to fade away from the background, all the chatter muted. In that moment it was just the two of them. "You both are my life now. Nothing else matters." He whispered leaning forward. Hermione closed her eyes, parting her lips. His body leaned against hers, as their lips barely brushed together.
"Hermione!" Harry hissed pulling her out of her chair. Draco stood up glaring at Harry. "What are you doing, Malfoy?" He bit out in a whisper as he saw a glimmer of white blonde hair from under the black hood. Eyes were starting to migrate over to their table, desperately trying to decipher the situation as the two boys faced off.
"Back off, Potter. This doesn't concern you. This is my family, my business, my responsibility." Draco said in a hushed growl.
Harry took a step forward, only leaving a foot between them. "Who do you think has been shouldering the responsibility the past couple of months? I've been the one protecting Hermione and YOUR son. At least pretend to be grateful." Harry seethed.
"You are getting dangerously close to earning yourself another scar, Potter." Draco balled his hands into fists at his sides, his face turning a violent shade of red.
Hermione shoved the boys apart glaring up at them. "Shut it, both of you! You're causing a scene and I'm not going to stand by while you two carry on like idiots." She snapped, turning on her heel and storming through the pub. Students and non-students alike fell silent, staring at the small witch making her way out the door, then turning to look at the black hooded figure and Harry as they bustled after her.
"Hermione! Please wait up!" Harry called out to her when they reached the street. She stopped with her arms crossed as the boys approached her. When they were within arms reach she grabbed them both by the front of their robes and shoved them into a nondescript alcove away from prying eyes.
"Let's get a few things straight right now." She began with a hand on her hip. "Firstly, the next time you two talk over my head as if I'm not standing right there you WILL end up in the infirmary with the nastiest hex I can muster." They both nodded with wide eyes as the small witch chastised them.
"Secondly," She looked over at Harry. "You didn't HAVE to shoulder anything, and rubbing it in Draco's face is the same as rubbing it in mine. You're lucky I didn't slap you for that comment." Harry swallowed hard.
Draco stifled a laugh. "And you." She said stabbing Draco in the chest with her finger. "You SHOULD be thanking Harry for giving me all the support I've needed when you couldn't." Draco grumbled under his breath.
"Excuse me?" She asked angrily.
"The only reason I 'couldn't' be there is because Potter and Weasley wanted to play body guard. It wasn't any of his fucking business." He glared over at Harry.
"Yea, when one of my best friends curls up on my lap crying over her deadbeat Death Eater boyfriend, it becomes my business." Harry shot back.
"Oh and I'm sure you were so upset." Draco began sarcastically. "You've always been jealous of me. The fact that I was with Hermione and you couldn't be was eating you up inside, wasn't it?" He sneered.
Harry laughed. "You are really making me wish I would have taken the rebound to rub in your face." It only took a second for Draco to fully understand what Harry was insinuating.
"What the fuck is he talking about?!" Draco bellowed staring at Hermione. His hands had begun to shake with the dire need to punch Harry in the face. Harry's face went white. He didn't mean to say or allude to the heavy snogging session Hermione and he had shared, especially not to Draco.
Hermione whipped out her wand silencing them both. "Do not talk over me!" She commanded cutting her eyes at them. "I refuse to discuss this right now, especially in public."
Draco raised his eyebrows at her. She pinched her nose and sighed. "We will talk about this later." She turned away from them. "The spell should lift within the hour. I'm going to go find Ginny." She shot over her shoulder hurrying away from them.

"What?!" Ginny choked, spraying her sip of butterbeer all over the table.
The Hogs Head was a bit dodgy, but was much more secluded than the other pubs in Hogsmeade. Hermione wanted as much privacy as possible. She could have waited until they were back in their dorm, but she was nervous that her silencing charm wouldn't last the full hour. If Draco caught up with her he would demand answers and she wasn't sure exactly how to go about it. He was right, she was a terrible liar. Lying wasn't an option.
"So, let me get this straight." Ginny began rubbing her forehead. "Malfoy cornered you in the Three Broomsticks, you told him the truth about the pregnancy, and you made up for the most part?" Hermione nodded. "Harry got pissed, they got into a spat, and Harry alluded to you guys having 'relations'?" Ginny finished looking sideways at Hermione.
"To be fair, Harry and I didn't go that far."
"Wait, so it could have happened? Do I really want to know what you two did?" Ginny cringed.
"We had a snog, things started to escalate, and we stopped. That's it, but the way Harry made it sound was like we were doing way more than snogging." Hermione explained quickly.
Ginny took a sip of her butterbeer and thought for a moment. "You know Malfoy's going to kick his ass right? I've seen the way he looks at you, and given the fact that he and Harry are constantly in competition with each other, what you say to him isn't going to matter."
Hermione sighed. "I swear I'm punching Harry in the face the moment we are back in Gryffindor tower."
"Do you really think Malfoy wouldn't find out? He's a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them." Ginny said arching an eyebrow.
"I know, but there were already much bigger problems without Harry's big fucking mouth." Ginny nodded in agreement.
"I just hope Ron found them before the spell.." Ginny trailed off as the door to the pub swung open violently. Harry stormed through, his lip bloodied with Draco walking smugly behind him. Ginny ran to Harry checking his injuries as Hermione dashed over to Draco.
"You need to go before someone sees you!" Hermione said quickly trying to pull the hood back over Draco's head. He grabbed her wrists bringing them down in front of her.
"People are going to have to know, Hermione." He said softly. "The only way I can keep you and the baby safe is by making it common knowledge that you are carrying my son." He bent down and kissed her forehead.
The bar keep was already whispering to a battered old witch at the bar, who then tore through the pub and out into the streets. It wouldn't be long before the news reached the Malfoy's. "Of course, we could have found a more tactful way of breaking the news if Potter hadn't picked a fight in the middle of the god damn street." He hissed over his shoulder at Harry.
"So, sucker punching me for saying something you didn't want to hear is picking a fight? If you hadn't fucking attacked me your ugly ferret face would have stayed under your fucking hood where it belongs!"
"Wait, what did you say?" Ginny asked Harry stepping back.
"I... Uh..."
"I believe his exact words were 'You and your bastard son ruined Hermione's life'." Draco snarled.
Hermione looked at Harry and Draco with disgust. Tears stung the corners of her eyes as she grabbed her bag and darted out of the pub.
"You both should be ashamed of yourselves!" Ginny barked. "If you cared about her you would suck it up and leave well enough alone! I don't give a fuck what your hang ups are with each other, but you need to pull your shit together." She took a step towards Draco her eyes burning into his. "Harry could have taken advantage of Hermione. She was so upset with your new... status, that she approached Harry. Instead of having it off with her HE stopped it. You should be fucking grateful it was Harry and not some other guy who doesn't give two shits about her well-being!"
She turned quickly shoving Harry into the wall. "I'm not going to ask Draco to apologize because you deserved to be punched in the fucking mouth. How fucking dare you say shit like that about an innocent baby." She took a large step back glaring at them. "You both fucking disgust me." She growled before running out to find Hermione.
"You stopped it?" Draco whispered incredulously.
"Yea. I tried to tell you that earlier." Harry muttered. "Look I'm sorry for what I said about the baby."
"I'm sorry I didn't hit you harder." Draco smirked.
"I'm sorry that you're still a pompous jack ass." Harry laughed.
Draco shook his head chuckling. "Did we really get told off twice by two witches half our size?"
"Yea, and they weren't even as pissed as they could have been."
"Should I be scared?" Draco asked moving to Harry's side.
"Very."
They began to walk through the pub together before Draco turned to face Harry. "Just because we're being friendly doesn't mean I don't still think you're a glittery tosser."
Harry smirked. "Fine by me ferret-boy."
***
The castle halls were dark and foreboding as Snape and Draco skulked through them with haste. It was far past curfew and they had just gotten news of Umbridge settling in for the night from Dobby the house elf. Draco's heart was beating out of his chest, hoping that everything would go smoothly.
"You don't have to do this, Draco. " Snape began. "Do you not comprehend the danger you are putting yourself in if something goes wrong farther down the line?"
"It's the only way I can protect them."
"Your bloodline is more than enough protection."
"Only until the baby is born. You know the Dark Lord is going to have someone off Hermione the moment she's done giving birth. I would gladly give my life for theirs."
"You're a fool." Snape hissed.
"I might be, or I could just be a man who is willing to protect his family at all costs."
Snape grumbled under his breath as they approached the gargoyles at the entrance of Dumbledore's office. "Once you walk through those doors you can never go back, Draco." Snape whispered nodding his head towards the office doors.
Draco nodded curtly. "Lemon drops." He said with purpose. The gargoyles moved aside allowing both wizards to enter. Dumbledore met them right as the crossed the threshold. He shook Draco's hand and smiled.
"Are you sure about this, my dear boy?"
"Absolutely." Draco replied. Dumbledore put a hand on his shoulder, guiding him into the antechamber where Harry, Lupin, and Tonks stood in shock and awe.

Author's Note:
@Kit- Thank you so much for the review! I'm so glad you are enjoying the story!
@Patty- Thank you so much for the compliments! I had a serious blush going on when I read your review! You were spot on with the troubled waters. I think Harry and Draco have cooled off a fair bit, but their relationship will always be on the volatile side.
@HG4eva- Thank you for always giving me detailed reviews! It helps so very much! In my mind, I could never see Harry or Ginny abandoning Hermione regardless of what she gets into. I think there will always be some animosity between Draco and Hermione's friends, but I'm hoping they can squash it quickly! Poor Ron is going to have a coronary when he finds out about the days events!

- I know you're busy, love! I take no offense if I don't hear back from you in the near future! =)
As always, thank you for reading, rating, and reviewing! Every single one of you gives me warm fuzzies!
