Dearest Draco,
I hope that this letter finds you well. In Azkaban its hard to believe that you could be but one can hope, right? There are things that I need to tell you now that the war is over, I want you to know how I truly feel about you. You see, I was released from the hospital about three days before the full moon and I went home to your manor as that’s the only place I feel welcomed anymore.
I was terrified as I sat there in the sitting room with all the lights off, no fire roaring in the fireplace and no candles flickering to life. The house-elves were busy in the kitchen readying it for the morning and the breakfast they would make for me there. As the last rays of the sinking sun bled red throughout the room a house-elf came to tell me that Luna was at the gate and wanted to be with me…just in case. I told them to tell her to leave, that I wanted to deal with whatever may come by myself. Finally, the sun was gone and I sat there waiting for the moon to fully rise but there was something strange. I didn’t feel anything. Nothing at all. As I assume you already know I did as much research as I could on what’s been happening to me and it all said that I would feel an urge to go to Remus and please him. There was none of that. I sat there in the sitting room as the moon rose above the trees, I watched as it bathed the front yard and those damn peacocks in its blueish light but nothing. There was no interest in Remus, no urge to see him, no pull to please him…nothing.
Finally, I opened my eyes and found the sunlight shining brightly in them. I got up and took stock of my body and how my brain felt, I wasn’t in pain, my brain wasn’t pushing me to go the prison and see the werewolf. I didn’t know what that meant and to be perfectly honest I still don’t but I spent the next few days waiting for something to happen, anything. I welcomed the feeling of nothing the next morning each day but worry still for next month because maybe during the next full moon is when it’ll start. Now that the full moon has gone by I’ve set to making the manor more homey and working on your case. Harry, still hasn’t spoken to me but Ginny assures me that he’s just hurt and taking time away to gather his thoughts. I still feel like I’ve lost my best friend. I know that I’ve lost Ron already, I think I was losing him before the war started.
I wanted to tell you that I heard you, in my room after Remus attacked me. I heard every single word that you told me and it terrified me, the thought that you, someone I assumed hated me almost as much as Voldemort himself, was in love with me was scary. Being trapped in that magical coma I had loads of time to think and assess the situations that I’ve found myself in. While I am not particularly happy this was how our relationship had to start I realize that I am happy for this relationship. I love you. I love talking to you, studying with you, learning with you, protecting you and being protected by you and planning with you. So much has happened this year from the war and my part in it to the unplanned child growing in my belly, I understand if your feelings have changed for me but I refuse to abort Snape’s child. What he did was sneaky, that’s true but then again he was a Slytherin and what did you assume he was going to do?
The papers will eventually get a hold of my being pregnant with Snape’s child as its only a matter of time before I start to show. But I also know that if they knew that it was your child and we were unmarried that would put your name, fortune, business and all your estates at risk. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; Some of these old wizarding laws are completely barbaric. The law I learned about and the one I’m sure Snape knew about, said that if the ‘Master’ of a rich and business-owning pureblooded family goes, to prison, gets too old to oversee business or dies all of that is passed on to the first born male heir. As long as the male heir hadn’t done anything seen as “unsavory or questionable to his character” one of the highlighted things was pregnancy before marriage. There are no rules, surprisingly, against the pureblooded male raising another man’s child…it’s just highly unlikely.
Like I said, I understand if you change your mind about how you feel about me. But just know that even if I’ve been closed off, clammed up and cold towards you I really do love you. If you’re willing to I would love to…I can’t really say continue our relationship as we’ve hardly had one but I would like to restart our relationship. Draco, I think I’ve loved you since third year as well, maybe not liked you all the time but love definitely. Anyone could tell, and most did, that we were perfect for one another…even you, I was just too stupid to see it. Anyway, I have some more cleaning to do and I don’t know what else to write without sounding like a complete moron. Please, write back either way so I know that you’re okay and don’t worry, I’m working on your case and I’ll be there at your hearing.
With Love,
Hermione.

It had been weeks and still no return letter, the Malfoy’s case was coming up and now Hermione was scared to be there. If he wasn’t writing back to her the surely he hated her, she felt that she’d poured her heart in to that letter and she’d though that he’d at least write back to her. Hermione had had an appointment with a healer at Saint Mungo’s to check out the pregnancy which was going fine but led to a certain pain in the ass reporter finding out and printing it in every paper. Needless to say, she’d spent a disgusting amount of time sitting in Malfoy Manor as if it were her own.
“I figured it out!” Luna exclaimed as she slammed open the front door “I figured it out!”
“What did you figure out?” Hermione asked as she sipped Ginger Tea, hoping to settle her upset stomach.
“Why you didn’t feel a pull to Remus” She answered, Luna got a rare and odd-looking expression of almost greedy-triumph on her face when she smiled and looked back at her friend “And…I may have like…a cure or something for or towards Lycanthropy here!” She waved her hand around while she tried to articulate her thoughts “Its brilliant, Hermione. Really brilliant!” Hermione nodded and waited impatiently “And un-thought of before”
“Luna!” Hermione snapped “What is it?!”
“The baby” She answered “I’ve been reading up on everything that happened, trying to find some answers for you. You know that we all have different amounts a magical levels, right?” Hermione nodded “Well, I read a case of a witch with a high amount of magic in her system (AKA really good witch) and a wizard with a lot of magic in his blood were pregnant when she contracted Dragon Pox. It’s basically a death sentence to most who get it, but while he died she didn’t. They did research and realized that it was the baby’s magic, combined from two extremely magical parents, that fought the sickness from inside her body”
“You think that the baby has fought and won against Lycanthropy?” Hermione asked skeptically.
“Yes” Luna said “He wasn’t in his werewolf form which means that you were barely getting half of the sickness. As you know it only turns two or three of your cells so if the baby’s magic took over it would be fresh magic, extremely new magic and just trying to get rid of whatever was threatening it”
“I have nothing else to go on” Hermione said “I’ll take it and I’ll see next full moon” She looked at the Owl that came flying in and dropped the letter on the table next to her. She recognized Draco’s handwriting and took a deep breath, Luna smiled and walked off to find something to do. Hermione opened the envelope and reached in pulling out a stack of a photos, they were the blackmail photos that Lucius had been holding over her head.
Dear Hermione,
My father and I had spoken the day I told you about my feelings. He told me that if I loved you enough I’d give you these back and hope that you love me enough not to take them and run. I love you and I don’t want there to be anything between us anymore, as for the whole baby thing you could have told the world that it was mine and I would have stood by you. But I do thank you for thinking about me like that, you really are an amazing woman.
Now for some awesome news. Your friend Potter has pulled some strings that only he could get away with and I won’t be having a trial. I can come home in a week with my mother, unfortunately the only deal my father was able to get was that he wouldn’t receive the Kiss from the Dementor’s. I can’t wait to be free again, this place is dark, dank, smells horrible, and the screaming cries from those who received the Kiss already…they will haunt me long after I go home. Sorry for the short letter, but I only have an hour to write in and hardly any ink.
I love you,
Draco.
A/N: Short but sweet. I’ve been working a lot but trying to write this. Hope you like it, the story is almost over, probably another chapter or so. I revamped Marauders, In The Head Girls Room and changed the name. Please, feel free to read it.
