Tonks lunged forward, pulling her cousin into a tight hug. “Is it true? Am I expecting another little cousin?”
Her hair turned neon blue as she pulled away to survey Draco. His stance was rigid as he stared back at his disowned cousin. His father and mother never mentioned Tonks’ mother, Andromeda. Although, Narcissa still had a picture of herself, Bellatrix, and Andromeda back in their Hogwarts days hidden away in her vanity drawer.
“Uh… I guess so.” He said stepping back to put more space between them.
Lupin crossed his arms staring daggers at the young blond wizard. “So, am I to believe that Hermione’s condition wasn’t planned? Because, to be frank, this whole situation seems like the perfect ploy to get into the Order’s good graces, and attempt to take us all out.”
“Excuse me?” Draco growled taking a large step towards Lupin. Snape put a firm hand on Draco’s shoulder pulling him back.
“Mr. Malfoy wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for his love and dedication to Miss Granger.” Dumbledore cut in. “The baby is safe, but Miss Granger will be killed after she gives birth. Draco has proved himself to have the best of intentions.”
Harry moved to Lupin’s side and tugged him back by the cuff of his arm. “It’s true Remus.” Harry said looking from Draco back to Lupin. “I wouldn’t have agreed to this if I had any doubts.”
Lupin scoffed. “This is a bad idea.”
Tonks elbowed Lupin hard in the stomach. “If Harry and Dumbledore trust him, then so do I.” She said confidently smiling at Draco.
“Are you all quite done?” Snape growled sweeping to the front of the room. “We have bigger problems to attend to.” He glared at Lupin. “I’ve already received an owl from a most distraught Narcissa. News has already passed through the grapevine of Miss Granger and Draco’s situation. Lucius is furious and is demanding a paternity check.”
“Does Voldemort know?” Harry asked nervously.
“Yes. He has taken up post at Malfoy Manor.” Snape drawled. “The Dark Lord is commanding to be present for Miss Granger’s visit and exam to make sure no mistakes are made.”
“Absolutely not!” Draco barked glaring at his god father. “Just because she’s pregnant with the Malfoy heir doesn’t mean he won’t torture her in the mean time.”
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I completely agree with Malfoy.” Harry interjected.
“It cannot be avoided.” Dumbledore spoke softly. “If we don’t comply, he will send someone after her. There is no need to put the entire school in danger.”
Draco growled with his hands balled into fists at his side. “What about Hermione’s safety?! I don’t see anyone giving a fuck about that!”
Snape smacked him swiftly across the back of his head. “There is no need for such vulgar language.” He hissed. “I will accompany Draco and Miss Granger to Malfoy Manor.”
“When?” Tonks asked.
“Tomorrow evening.” Snape replied sullenly. “The longer we wait, the more likely it is for the Dark Lord to lash out.”
“There has to be another way.” Harry breathed.
“I’m afraid there isn’t Mr. Potter.” The professor drawled. “I will call upon Miss Granger in the morning, and fill her in.”
Dumbledore nodded solemnly. “Thank you Severus.”
Tonks threw her arms around her cousin squeezing him tightly. “It will be okay.” She whispered.
“Thank you.” Draco breathed returning her hug. He stepped back from their embrace and made his rounds shaking Harry and Dumbledore’s hands.
Remus wrinkled his nose and grudgingly took the blond wizard’s hand. “If anything happens to, Hermione…” The older wizard started.
“You can do whatever you please with me.” Draco replied calmly.
Snape took Draco by the cuff of his arm and led him out into the hall. “The Dark Lord is most indignant, Draco. Get some rest; you will most assuredly need it.” The dark professor said flatly before turning on his heel and stalking down the hall.

Hermione grumbled trying to situate her robes to cover most of her bump. “You know that doesn’t help right? By now the whole school knows.” Ginny said pointedly sitting on Hermione’s bed.
“You’re right.” The curly haired witch sighed.
“Mione!” Harry called from down in the common room.
“Coming!” She shouted back. She took one last look in the mirror and groaned. At 24 weeks pregnant it was glaringly obvious that she was with child. The only good she found in it was that her morning/day/night/all the time sickness was gone, and she felt fairly normal.
Harry ushered the two girls over to an empty corner of the common room with worry etched across his face. “Snape needs you down in his office.” He whispered handing her a slip of parchment. “Draco is waiting for you outside.”
Hermione swallowed hard. “What is going on Harry?” She choked out. Something wasn’t right. He pulled her into a tight hug.
“It will all be okay.” He said softly. “I’ll walk you out.”
As promised, Draco stood outside the portrait hole his eyes darting around the hall. “Thanks.” He grumbled taking Hermione’s hand. Harry gave Hermione a weak smile and turned away to go back inside.
Draco tucked Hermione’s hand into his arm and kissed her forehead, all his normal cockiness gone without a trace. “Draco, what is going on?”
“Potter didn’t say anything?” He asked genuinely shocked. “Just know that everything will be okay.” The handsome blond wizard turned to give her a small smile.

Hermione curled up as much as she could in the armchair across from the surly professor sobbing. The moment she saw Harry’s face that morning she knew something terrible was amiss, but she never would have guessed just how terrifying things were about to get.
“Stop your blubbering.” Snape hissed furiously scribbling on a piece of parchment. “Count yourself lucky that you carry an heir. Had a girl been conceived you would have been killed on the spot.”
Hermione cringed. Draco threw his arms around her trembling form staring the potions master down. “Could you at least try not to make someone cry for 5 minutes?”
Snape leered at the two and stomped past them to his office door. “Meet me at the gates at 7 this evening.” He opened the door and practically kicked them out into the hall.
***
The full moon cast an eerie glow over the forbidden forest as Snape, Draco, and Hermione slipped through the gates of Hogwarts towards the portkey. Draco kept an arm around the shaking witch and tucked her into his side as the rusty old tea kettle that would send them to Malfoy Manor came into sight. Snape forcefully grabbed Draco by the cuff of his arm and pulled him away from Hermione.
“From this point on there will be no touching, looking, or speaking.” He hissed to the young wizard. He rounded on Hermione next. “Do not make eye contact with ANYONE unless specifically asked, that applies to moving, speaking, and anything else short of breathing. To them you are nothing, no one, not even fit to walk on the same ground. Draco is not your significant other. You were nothing but a mistake, and should be thankful to be hosting an heir.”
She jumped back with angry tears stinging her eyes. The surly professor sighed and softened his tone. “You know none of that is true. But the only way I can be sure that you will make it out alive is to really drive home what you are to them. Act the part and you should make it out okay.”
“He’s going to hurt me, isn’t he?” She whispered looking down at her feet.
“Possibly.” Snape said gently. He nodded to Draco and turned his back.
Draco pulled the sobbing witch into his arms tightly, his heart racing. It was more than likely that the Dark Lord was going to lash out at her. He pulled her back and stared into her wide brown eyes before pressing a gentle lingering kiss to her lips. “I love you. Please remember that. I don’t know what’s going to be asked of me. Just please know that I love you both more than anything in this world.”
“I love you too.” She choked out.
Draco cleared his throat and the professor turned back around. Hermione wedged herself between the two men trying to gather her wits about her when the cold hand of Professor Snape squeezed hers gently. That sentiment alone helped her take that last deep cleansing breath before she reached out to touch the kettle and felt the pull from behind her navel draw her away.

Author’s Note:
I am so sorry for the delay! It’s been almost a month. My muse decided to up and leave me again. We are almost to the end, so I’m going to give it my all not to slack off again! This chapter is pretty short, but I wanted to set the stage for the brutal scene coming next. The Malfoy Manor scene may actually end up being two chapters. I will warn you ahead of time that the next update is going to be painfully dark, but very necessary.
I’m planning on having Chapter 19 up by next Friday!
