Taking Chances

Hermione/Draco

Chapter Five - I surrender

The night before Hermione planned to go to the Manor to meet with Draco and his parents, Hermione didn't sleep one wink. Everytime Hermione closed her eyes she saw Bellatrix holding her down and hurting her. Everytime she woke up from the nightmares she grabbed her wand and re-checked her wards.

Hermione didn't want to go to the Manor but she knew for the sake of her baby and Draco she needed to do this. She needed to know who was sending the threats and who was after her for the baby's safety. She hadn't told the Weasley's about the threat knowing that Molly would try and make her stay at the Burrow for the next five months. She didn't want to have to hide away.

Hermione finally gave up on sleep and went down to breakfast at six o'clock. Molly was already up cooking a big Sunday morning cooked breakfast.

'Good Morning dear.' Molly said as she turned around. 'Are you alright? You look quite pale?'

'I didn't sleep very well.' Hermione said as she sat down at the table.

'No of course you didn't. I wouldn't if I had to go back to that place.' Molly said as she walked towards Hermione. 'You don't have to go Hermione.'

'I know I don't but I need to face up to my fears and I need to speak with Draco and his parents about the baby.' Hermione replied. 'Draco seems to think his parent's are alright with the baby. I just can't imagine Lucius Malfoy being happy about having a half-blood Grandchild.'

'People can change dear. Lucius Malfoy may have changed although I'm slightly doubtful.' Molly said as she went to pour Hermione some herbal tea. 'Maybe he sees the baby as a new start and maybe he is just happy to see Draco happy.'

'Maybe, I just can't think he is happy for his pure bloodline is going to die out now.' Hermione said as she took the tea from Molly.

'Mmmm.' Molly said as she turned back to her cooking.

After breakfast with the rest of the Weasley's, Hermione took Ginny up to her room and started getting ready for the day ahead.

Hermione jumped into the shower while Ginny looked through Hermione's wardrobe.

'We need to go shopping.' Ginny shouted to Hermione who was getting out the shower.

'I don't need anything.' Hermione said as she opened the bathroom door and walked into her bedroom wrapped in a navy blue towel. 'I have everything I need for now.'

'Hardly.' Ginny said as she looked at the clothes hanging up. 'We need to start buying you some clothes for when you get bigger and some baby stuff for mini-Granger. I can't wait till you find out the gender so I can go and shop.'

'We have decided whether we're going to find out or not.' Hermione said as she grabbed her knickers and her bra which were both white and lacy.

'Didn't mum say you had to start wearing non-wired bras?' Ginny said as she looked at the bra Hermione picked up.

'I hate maternity bras, they back my boobs like awful. I read its fine to wear underwire brass till you eighth month.' Hermione said as she walked back into the bathroom which was connected to her bedroom and put on her underwear.

'Mini-Granger will still need some clothes you know.' Ginny said as she sat on Hermione's bed.

'I know.' Hermione said. 'After my 20 week scan we'll go shopping.'

'I can't wait.' Ginny said as she watched her walk in to the bedroom now in a dressing gown over her underwear. 'Now I think you should wear the white linen jeans with the black tank top and then the blazer over the top.'

'Don't you think that will be a bit in your face for them? I mean showing off my bump.' Hermione said.

'Hermione you're only four months and you're not showing that much seriously. I think you think you're bigger than you are.' Ginny said. 'Most people don't even know you're pregnant.'

'Ok I'll try it.' She said as she started to pull on the white jeans.

Once Hermione was dressed and happy with how she looked, she let Ginny start sorting out her unruly hair. Ginny was getting good at hair charms now and managed to put Hermione's curls up off her face and leave a few down. Once the hair was just right, Ginny then applied some light foundation to Hermione's face; she didn't really need it with her perfect skin. After she applied the foundation she simply put on some eyeliner and then put on some mascara.

'Done!' Ginny said as she smiled.

Hermione looked into the mirror and smiled. 'Thanks Gin.' Hermione said feeling confident.

'I managed to cover up your bags as I know you didn't sleep well last night.' Ginny said as she sat at the dressing table.

'I just kept dreaming about when we were captured at Malfoy Manor.' Hermione said as she sat on her bed. She slipped her feet into black leather ballet pumps and then looked up at the Ginny. 'If I'm honest I don't want to go but I know I need to for the baby and for Draco. We need to sort some things out.'

'Do you think you'll get back together? I don't want to see you get hurt again Hermione.' Ginny said as she looked at her best friend.

'I know you don't and I don't want to get hurt either but I need to do this for me.' Hermione said. 'I have not just myself to think about but my baby as well.'

It was half eleven and Draco was stood by the gates of Malfoy Manor; the Manor had protected wards which only allowed Malfoy's into the grounds, even Severus had trouble getting into the Manor.

Ron apperated Hermione to the gates of Malfoy Manor and when he saw Draco was there politely nodded and left Hermione to it. He wasn't too please with Hermione going to Malfoy Manor but he knew when Hermione decided on something there was no way of getting her to back up.

'Hi.' Draco said as he stepped towards Hermione. 'How are you?'

'Nervous.' She said as she looked at Draco. 'My morning sickness has decided to return again.'

'Why didn't you write and say? You didn't have to meet today?' Draco said as he laid his hand down on her arm.

'I'm fine.' She said as she looked up at him. 'Let's get this over with.'

'Don't worry, mother is so excited to meet you and ask you questions about the baby and well Father just wants to see talk about the safety of the baby and how the baby will be the next heir.' Draco said.

Hermione just looked at Draco with nerves written all over her face.

'Don't panic.' He said as he held her hand and pulled her down the path to the impressive Manor.

Draco let himself and Hermione into the Manor through the wooden front door; he shut the door and took Hermione's cloak from her and placed it up on the hook.

'Ready?' he asked.

Hermione only nodded and let Draco lead her into what seemed to be the living room.

Draco entered the living room and watched as both his parents stood up. His mother had a polite smile on her face while his father stood beside his mother silently and motionless.

'Mother, Father, I would like to introduce you to Hermione Granger.' Draco said as he pulled Hermione next to him.

'Lovely to meet you Ms Granger.' Narcissa said as she held out her hand to Hermione.

'And you Mrs Malfoy.' Hermione said. 'You have a lovely home.'

'Oh thank you.' Narcissa said smiling. 'We've just decorated.'

'Miss Granger.' Lucius said as he held out his hand. 'I'm glad we can meet again under more happy circumstances.'

Hermione only nodded and shook his hand lightly. The two couples then sat together on two different sofas.

'How are you feeling dear?' Narcissa asked as she looked towards Hermione.

'I'm good thank you Mrs Malfoy.' Hermione answered.

'How is the pregnancy going? I know it's not an easy time. Draco was a hard baby to carry.' She said as she smiled warmly.

'Everything seems to be going fine so far.' Hermione said as she smiled slightly.

'And how far are you along now? It's not very noticeable I must say. I showed very early on with most of my pregnancies.' She said as she smiled.

'I'm 16 weeks.' Hermione said. 'I cover it well.'

'You should embrace it; it's such a wonderful time.' Narcissa said.

'Where are you living now Miss Granger?' Lucius asked cutting off his wife before she started going on and on about pregnancy and babies.

'With the Weasley's.' Hermione replied as she looked Lucius square in the face. As she looked at him it was the first time she had noticed the similarities between him and her ex lover, his son.

'At least you're not leaving alone at the moment.' Lucius said as he nodded. 'Draco has made you aware of the letter I received some months ago.'

'I am.' Hermione replied.

'You can then understand that you are at risk therefore putting your baby at risk.' Lucius said as his eyes looked down to her stomach. 'I would suggest that you and Draco decide what you want to do whether that is to be a family or just two people parenting. Then you need to think about if you are able to keep whatever you have and the baby a secret for a little while longer while Severus and I investigate this threat.'

'Uncle Severus?' Draco said.

'I have contacted Severus.' Lucius said. 'I need to find out who this person or persons is so we can deal with it.'

'Deal with it?' Hermione said.

'Protect you and our grandchild.' Narcissa said softly. 'We need to know who is sending these and why.'

'I really sorry but I'm confused. I didn't think you'd want me to even have this child.' Hermione said as she looked at Lucius.

'You are right of course. The child you are carrying ruins my bloodline the one I have fought so hard to keep however that child also happens to be my Grandchild and I can see how happy my son is and if that means a half-blood Grandchild then so be it.' He said as he looked at Hermione straight-faced.

Narcissa nodded and smiled at Hermione as well. Hermione couldn't understand how they had gone from being Mudblood haters to now apparent lovers. Maybe they had changed but she wasn't going to let her guard down.
