Chapter Seven - To Tell the Truth Telling Ginny

:::Hogwarts-Head Dorms-Hermione’s Chambers:::

Lying on her stomach Hermione impatiently read her copy of SFX magazine, she had owled to her last week. Hermione's legs bounced nervously up and down as she waited for Ginny to show up.

Tired of keeping her secret she wanted someone to know the truth. At least if Ginny knew than she could talk to someone about it. Hermione looked at her clock wondering why she was taking so long. Hermione grabbed a bag of chocolate covered pretzels taking a bite of the salty sweet goodness. She knew she was supposed to stay away from junk food however indulging occasionally she did not think would hurt.

A knock alerted her to someone being at her door. Hermione quickly jumped up out of her bed, she slowly opened it frowning when she saw no one.

"Hello?" Hermione whispered.

Looking around she knew she heard someone knocking, "Hello Who's---," she nearly screamed when Ginny appeared out of nowhere.

Ginny giggled as she pulled Harry's cloak completely off her.

"Ginny Weasley you bloody bitch how could you?" she hissed.

Ginny giggled holding her hands up she said, "Sorry Mione I couldn't resist."

"Get inside Gin," she said.

Hermione pulled her in and closed her door. She warded her room making sure she placed a silencing and locking charm on the walls.

Ginny walked to the fireplace warming herself by the fire. She turned to Hermione asking her the two questions she wanted to know more than anything.

"Alright Mione what's going on with you and Malfoy?"

"Nothing Gin I swear to you nothing is going on with us?"

"Hermione come on, I saw you tonight, and you cannot tell me nothing is going on." Ginny teased.

"How much did you see Ginny?" Hermione asked nervously.

"I saw enough, the electricity coming from you two could light up muggle London. You two almost kissed and before you try to make a flimsy excuse I am not crazy I know what I saw, now spill," she probed wanting the truth.

"It was just the moment I don't know how to explain it but there is nothing going on with me and Malfoy."

Ginny sighed it's not really the juiciest of stories but she knew Hermione would not lie to her. Nevertheless, she frowned when she saw tears in Hermione's eyes.

"Hermione are you okay?"

Hermione shook her head looking at her friend.

"You were right Gin," she whispered.

Ginny tilted her head in confused, "I was right about what?"

Hermione turned to the fire she could not tell Ginny to her face.

"Malfoy---he's the father."

"What?" she screamed in shock, "I thought you said you and him were not together?"

"Were not it's hard to explain."

Ginny glared grabbing Hermione pushing her down to sit on her bed.

"You tell me now Hermione Jean Granger."

Hermione took a breath trying to collect her thoughts. She decided to speak quickly fearing that if she spoke slowly, she would chicken out.

"It happened about a little over one month and three weeks ago. My parents wanted me to go out and have fun so I did but I didn't tell them I was coming to the wizarding world."

Ginny gasped at Hermione's words.

"I went to a club I danced, I drank I had a great time, long story short I met a guy we agreed no names anonymous, we went to a hotel shagged when I woke up to my horror it was Malfoy," Hermione gasped for breath waiting for Ginny to say something.

Ginny got almost everything she gasped at her words before he long winded speech of Malfoy knowing, "Are you telling me he knows it was you, he knows he's the father?"

"No he does not know it was me, however he and his cronies knows I'm pregnant."

"How do they know?"

"They heard us on the platform before we got on the train to Hogwarts."

"Oh I'm sorry," Ginny's guilt shone in her face.

"It's okay he knows I'm pregnant he is not telling anyone. I told him not to tell Harry and Ron that he knows I'm pregnant. You and I know it would cause more problems."

Ginny nodded, "They'd kill him --- they'd think he'll squeal --- but why would Malfoy not tell anyone? I would think he would jump at the chance to get you in trouble. Did his ice heart melt?" Ginny teased.

Hermione shook her head "it's because I promised I'd do his rounds for the whole year."

Ginny faked a love sigh and said, "Gee what a prince, not telling out of the kindness of his heart --- oh wait that's right Malfoy's a prick," bitterness spewing from her lips.

Hermione smirked at Ginny's remark and retorted, "Ginny the most important thing is he isn't going to tell anyone, I'd gladly do his rounds forever if that would keep his mouth shut."

"So let me get this straight he knows you're pregnant but not that he's the father?"

"Correct."

She giggled, "Boy your life is a roller coaster."

"You're telling me," Hermione sighed.

Ginny looked at Hermione truly amazed at the whoppers of the secrets her best friend was hiding. She would expect this from Lavender or Pavarti but certainly not Hermione.

"How did he not know it was you and vice versa?" Ginny asked eager to learn more. "

We used glamour charms I woke up in the middle of the night his had worn off. I left before he could ever find out. As far as he knows he shagged a girl at a hotel."

Ginny shook her head Hermione's life certainly is complicated.

"What made you think Malfoy was the father Gin?"

"Well the fact he had you pinned up against a tree and you have been refusing to tell us who he is so I put two and two together," Ginny told her proudly.

Hermione smiled at her very perspective red headed friend.

"Good guess," Hermione teased.

Ginny licked her lips leaning into Hermione she was curious about certain things. She knew she was prying but her curiosity got the better of her. "

How was he that night?" Ginny whispered it seemed silly to whisper but that's how the question left her lips as a whisper.

Ginny may be a girl but even girl's talk about sex. Ginny wanted the dirt on Malfoy.

Hermione giggled whispering, "Bloody fantastic."

A high-pitched squeal flew out of Ginny's mouth as she tackled Hermione playfully with excitement. Hermione and Ginny laughed as they tried to calm down from their fits of giggles.

Ginny always wanted to know if the rumours about Malfoy were true.

"So it's true what they say about him being a Slytherin sex god?" Ginny probed needing to know more.

Ginny knew her face was as red as her hair she never would have thought she would ask Hermione about her sex life but she could not help it as she leaned in waiting for more.

Hermione nodded "He was incredible, everything they say about him is true."

"Really? What did he look like? Is it true Quidditch does a body good?"

Hermione smirked teasing Ginny, "I don't know you tell me, Harry plays Quidditch."

Ginny blushed, "Harry is Harry I want to know about Malfoy's body. I overheard Parkinson saying that Malfoy has the body of a god. I also heard a few girls saying that he has abs to die for and an ass you'd drop to your knees and thank Merlin for."

Hermione burst out laughing at Ginny's description of Malfoy. After a minute, she finally calmed down with the help of Ginny whose face was red as a tomato and lightly slapping her trying to stop her laughing.

"Come on Hermione answer the question."

Hermione frowned, "I don't know if he just charmed his face. However, before he changed bloody hell Gin his body was perfect. His abs oh hell they're like a washboard and his ass was two rock hard globes, his arms they were so powerful, that boy works out."

"Oh---I'm so jealous," Ginny, said with a sigh of envy.

"Ginny what about Harry," she teased.

"Oh hush," Ginny, scolded her.

"I felt inferior next to him," Hermione said softly.

Ginny glared, "Hermione if he has the body of a god than you have the body of a goddess so stop that."

Ginny hated when Hermione put herself down. Ginny shook her head knowing that her brother had something to do with it. All those years Ron had dismissed her and left Hermione with self esteem issues.

'What a blind fuck' Ginny thought.

"Sorry Ginny I can't help it," she whispered.

"I know but you're gorgeous, "Hermione blushed at Ginny's praise, "now please continue," Ginny said with a teasing voice and a wave of her hand.

"When I woke up and he was Malfoy from what I could tell the body was his."

"Oh great now I am going to be sneaking peeks at him in classes," Ginny groaned.

Ginny leaned in asking, "Was he good Hermione? And please tell me everything don't hold back."

"He was brilliant Gin, I think I even blacked out."

"Wow--- Really?" she asked in awe, "Tell me more please Hermione," she practically begged.

A sense of thrill rushed through Ginny's body. She never really gossiped but this was too much, Hermione had had great sex with Malfoy, she had to have all the details.

Hermione's eyes glazed over as she remembered, "I have no idea how to explain how good he was and what we did, all I can say is remember the porno we watched two years ago."

Ginny's eyes went wide in shock, "Yeah I remember ---oh Merlin you mean he did all those things to you?"

Hermione nodded.

"Oh Merlin---did it hurt?" Ginny squealed.

"Well some of the things hurt at first but he was really gentle---than he well he fucked me into the bed."

Ginny's mouth hung open. She resembled a fish out of water as her mouth open and shut in shock.

"He did things with his body, fingers and mouth that made me cum seven times."

"Fuck," Ginny whispered in shock.

Ginny's face flushed red, fanning herself at her friend's words.

"Its hot isn't it?," Ginny asked.

"Not really," Hermione said.

"How big is he?" Ginny asked.

Hermione showed Ginny with her hands the size of Malfoy.

"Really wow he's huge!" Ginny shrieked.

"You have no idea when he first entered me I thought he was going to rip me in half."

Ginny squealed, "Was he better than Ron?"

"Ron couldn't compare to him."

Ginny gasped grabbing a pillow slamming it against Hermione.

Hermione fell to the bed laughing at Ginny's shocked expression.

Ginny lay there on her back looking at Hermione's canopy wondering.

Ginny turned to Hermione, "Do you have feelings for him?" Ginny asked.

"No I don't, but---."

Ginny lifted herself to look down at Hermione as she spoke, "But what---if you have feelings for him?" Ginny whispered.

"I did---I mean I think I confused how he was that night with me to what he is here at Hogwarts. I realized that he is not the person I met that night. "

"But maybe---"

"No maybes he played a part that night that wasn't him. I don't like him Gin after last night in the forbidden forest I finally have my blinders off."

"Come on Mione maybe things can work out."

Hermione laughed shaking her head, "What? We'd get married and live happily ever after."

Ginny giggled shaking her head, "No but maybe you both could be civil because despite the fact he is a bouncing ferret he is your baby's father."

"I haven't heard that nickname of his in a long while," Hermione giggled.

"Don't change the subject Hermione," Ginny snapped.

"Maybe after the baby is born I will tell him, just not now. If he finds out he will make this pregnancy hell for me and that is not good for the baby."

Ginny agreed.

"I'm so scared."

Ginny's eyes widened at the thought of Licius Malfoy. "What if his Dad finds out?"

Hermione gasped at the thought. "Oh god I don't know," Hermione rubbed her tummy tearing, "What if he hurts the baby? I mean you know how he hates mudbloods."

Ginny glared, "Don't say that word," Ginny hissed, "and you are not alone in this you have us. I do not think Mr. Malfoy would hurt you or the baby. People have said he's really changed. Even Dad says so; Mr. Malfoy is very kind to my Dad when he visit's the Ministry."

Ginny clutched her friend's frightened hands trying to comfort her.

Hermione sighed wishing Ginny were right, "I think after the baby is born I may have to leave."

Ginny gaped, "You are leaving school?"

"No Gin I mean the wizarding world."

"No!" Ginny screamed.

Hermione jumped at her friends scream.

"But Gin the Malfoy's will never except my baby and if they don't hurt the baby one of their friends or family would."

"Why should you leave? You have every right to be here as much as the ferret! Mione you made a mistake that night. Who hasn't? That does not mean you have to let it destroy everything you worked so hard for."

Ginny wrapped her arm around her friend giving her reassurance that everything would be fine.

"And if they try anything, well...they will have to deal with the whole Weasley clan." Hermione smiled at her friend.

"What am I going to do?" Hermione asked her eyes shined with tears.

"First of all, you will get through this pregnancy. You are right, you do not need the extra stress of Malfoy knowing. However after you give birth you should tell him. Maybe he can help you."

"I hope so Gin I really hope so."

The red head held her distraught friend.

"Mione don't get mad at me, but why didn't you use birth control or a condom?" Ginny had to ask, she didn't understand why Hermione would not use some sort of protection.

Hermione blushed, "I had no need to use birth control Gin you know I have not been involved with anyone since Ron."

Ginny and Hermione shuddered at the thought of Ron and her.

Ginny knew Hermione has not been seeing anyone since Ron and her dated in fifth year, as she wanted to concentrate on her studies, so she put romance on the back burner.

"So you used a condom...," Ginny asked hopeful.

"No I remembered Lavender said something about guys not liking condoms," she said.

Ginny shook her head at her naïve friend. Hermione is brilliant, however when it came to sex and boys she is completely clueless.

"So what, did you use a female condom than?" The confused look on her face said it all.

"Foam. You used foam?" Ginny asked.

"What is that?" Hermione asked in confusion

"It protects against pregnancy. You stick an applicator up into the vagina which squirts foam into you."

Hermione shook her head in horror, "I would never use that! No way in hell!" she shrieked.

Ginny giggled at Hermione's reaction.

"Well what did you use?" Ginny asked in a fit of giggles.

"I used a contraceptive spell."

Ginny gasped, "Mione you don't just use a contraceptive spell."

"But the book said it was 99% effective."

"Oh please...my parents used those types of spells for years and it never worked."

Hermione's eyes widened and she moaned.

"Great this is just great! The one time a book's information has a flaw, it has to be for a contraceptive spell," she growled.

"Don't worry Hermione you will be fine."

She smiled at her red headed friend hoping everything would be.

:::Meanwhile in Draco's chambers:::

Draco walked into his room pissed he had gone and done his rounds even when Granger was supposed to do them. He needed to let off some steam. She was driving him bonkers. Draco screamed bloody murder when he saw a figure sitting in his room, but calmed when he realized that it was just Blaise who sat in his sitting area.

A pounding alerted him to someone at the door. Draco stalked to the door throwing it open to see Hermione standing at his door with a worried look on her face.

"Are you alright?" she said sweetly, she peeked in looking at Blaise sitting cross-legged wondering why he screamed.

The look of worry on her face made his heart melt.

'She's worried about me, I should be nice,' he thought.

However, of course, "What do you want mudblood?" was what he screamed at her.

Hermione glared, "Nothing, I hope you get syphilis and your dick falls off," she pulled the door shut, slamming it in his face.

Blaise roared with laughter at the stunned look on Draco's face.

"That bitch," he hissed.

Blaise went back to his book, "You could have been nice to her," he informed his friend.

"Oh fuck off Zabini," he growled as he quickly put up his silencing and locking wards.

Blaise quirked his brow, "Drake you alright?"

"Sod off," he growled.

Blaise snipped, "Ooo not very friendly tonight are we."

"I said fuck off!" he screamed.

Blaise's eyebrow arched 'she must have really riled him up,' he thought.

"Come on...tell uncle Blaise what's the matter," he teased.

"Fucking Granger," he grumbled flopping on his chair.

"What did she do now?" he sighed in annoyance.

"Nothing, just fuck, she's driving me bloody crazy."

Blaise chuckled, "Just bloody tell her you like her already."

"Sod off," Draco growled.

Draco had confessed to Blaise a few nights ago that he secretly liked her.

Blaise laughed his ass off for almost an hour at the ridiculous notion of the Prince of Slytherin having a crush for the Princess of Gryffindor.

They had talked for hours about his predicament. Blaise giving him the advice that he should be kinder to her.

The night ended with Draco telling Blaise to go fuck himself and going to bed.

Blaise listened to his friend sigh trying to get his attention.

He kept his eyes on his book when he remembered Granger's condition, he spoke with his eyes never leaving his book.

"She's got some other bloke's baby in her," Blaise said snobbishly.

Draco kicked the table in annoyance he could not believe she affected him this way.

Blaise looked at him at his childish act, "You are such a drama queen."

He looked back to his book but frowned when he caught sight of Draco's lip, "What happened to your lip?"

Draco wiped the drop of blood from his lip, "She bit me."

Blaise's head snapped up meeting Draco's pink face.

"Do tell what were you doing to have her bite you mate?" Blaise asked in a teasing voice.

"Snogging," he smirked.

"No bloody way you snogged her?" he asked in awe.

Blaise closed his book yearning to know more. Blaise grinned like an idiot thinking he finally made his move.

"I sort of snogging her," he sighed he decided to tell the truth, "I sort of well forced kissed her."

Blaise placed his book on the side table while sitting up he leaned forward asking, "You forced her. I would have never thought you would do something like that."

"I know, we were in the forest and the moonlight was shining on her so I kissed her," he lightly stuttered.

Blaise chuckled at his friend's flustered words.

"She looked good?" Blaise asked.

"Like an angel and she tasted even better --- Fuck I'm a pillock," Draco placed his head in his hands in disgust at how stupid he was acting.

"You got it bad."

"I know," Draco whined.

"What exactly happened?" Blaise asked.

"I finished gathering my ingredients for detention when I saw her sitting under a tree. I went to her and you bloody well know me...I was an arse to her."

Blaise nodded, he knew how Draco could get when it came to her.

"She leaned back and took a nap she looked so pretty...so I kissed her."

Draco kicked the table again, "Fuck! She got up and started pushing me away but I know she felt it, she fucking moaned so I didn't let go."

"Did she say no?" Blaise asked his friend in concern.

"Yes," he whispered.

Blaise's eyes widened in horror at what he was implying, "Drake you know you shouldn't---when a girl says no---."

Draco threw his hands up in annoyance. "I know I'm not stupid."

Blaise arched his brow in disbelief at his statement.

"Shut up," Draco growled.

"Go on tell me the rest."

Draco breathed out leaning forward as Blaise leaned in, "We started arguing and I bloody hate that she affects me this way. I trapped her ---You know I would not have done it mate I would have never forced her. I just wanted to goad her, push her buttons the way she pushes mine."

"Did you do anything else?" Blaise asked.

Draco blushed he could not tell him what he did.

"What exactly did you do her?" Blaise was now more than concerned.

"Drake if you did something to her you may get expelled."

"I didn't I mean ---."

Blaise knew it must have been bad. Blaise knew he should not do it but there was no other way. He took out his wand looking at Draco.

His eyes widened realizing what Blaise wanted to do. However, he nodded; he could not say what he had done.

"Legilimens," Blaise said.

Draco gasped groaning in pain at the feeling of his mind being invaded, however, he trusted Blaise with his life. He knew his friend would never hurt him.

Blaise stood in shock as he watched his mate forcibly kiss and say vulgar things to Granger.

When he pulled out pf Draco's mind, Blaise looked at him in shock. He could not believe how disgusting Draco had been with someone he supposedly liked. Blaise stood gathering his things. He knew that other boys in Slytherin had done worse in the past.

However, he never would have thought Draco would do that to Granger.

"Blaise mate look---"

"Stay away from her for a while mate she looked like she wanted to murder you, just stay away from her."

"What should I do?"

"I don't know try and be nice," Blaise said with anger at his clues ness.

"I don't do nice," Draco huffed.

Blaise shook his head at his friend's stubbornness, "Then you will never be with her."

Blaise said good night and walked out the door leaving Draco to his thoughts.

Draco grabbed his book opening it, he continued where he left off trying to take his mind off Granger.

Week 12

Hermione smiled as tears filled her eyes, she stared at her belly in awe. She could not believe a life at this moment was growing inside of her. Hermione was not dieting anymore. Harry had told her mother of the way she was eating and her mother had owled her. She had scolded her telling her to stop her foolishness and eat normally.

Hermione caressed her belly with joy. "Hello little one...I'm your Mummy I can not wait to meet you."

She downed a glass of milk as she walked out of her room to the kitchen to get a cup of yogurt, her mum had sent her a case saying it was a delicious source of calcium.

Hermione walked out into the common room with her treats and slid next to Ginny as they studied for their transfiguration exam.

Ginny leaned into Hermione grabbing a pretzel from Hermione's bag.

"Get out of here you mangy cat!" Ron roared as Crookshanks jumped on his lap.

Crookshanks shrieked at Ron and quickly jumped on Hermione trying to find comfort in his master's arms.

Hermione petted her ginger haired cat and glared at her friend, "If Crookshanks is bothering you Ron by all means feel free to leave," she hissed.

Ginny giggled behind her book trying not to let Ron see her.

Ron on the other hand glowered at Ginny knowing she was laughing at him.

Ron kicked Ginny lightly in the shin.

"Ow Ron you arse," she snapped.

"Serves you right to make fun of me."

"Ronald if you want to leave and do your studying all on your own keep it up," she snapped.

"Sorry Hermione," whispered.

Crookshanks jumped off his master's arms and rubbed affectionately at Ron's leg, annoying Ron.

"Hermione please get him away," he pleaded.

Hermione giggled grabbing her cat and petting him.

She cooed, "Its okay Crookshanks the mean boy does not like you. He cannot account for taste, he's use to rats."

This made Harry burst out into a fits of laughter.

"Harry," Ron whined.

"Oh stop it Ron. Just keep studying," Ginny, giggled at her brother.

Hermione grabbed a ball of yarn and threw it for Crooks as the squashed faced cat tackled the ball playfully biting it.

"Hermione, how are you these days?" Ginny asked trying to take the attention away from Ron.

Hermione smiled rubbing her belly, "I'm fine."

Ginny smiled, "Can I see your belly?"

"Gin it's not as if I'm a beach ball. I am not even showing."

Ginny shook her head, "I don't care I can't wait for you to show."

Hermione lift her shirt up a bit to reveal her stomach.

"See flat as a board."

"Not really Mione you have some weight there," Ron said.

Ginny glared at her brother, "Tell me why you and Lavender always get into fights, you of little tack."

Hermione chuckled, "He's right I'm not thin anymore."

"You are not fat Hermione so you have a little meat on your bones, so what?"

"I know I'm just worried someone will find out."

Ginny nodded understanding whom that someone she was thinking of.

Ginny gasped, rubbing her belly, "Oh Hermione I can't believe it, your going to be a mum. You have such a cute stomach"

Hermione giggled, "Thanks Gin but to keep this belly cute you have no idea how much cocoa butter I will have to put on it."

"Mum says there's a spell to help keep stretch marks away," Gin said.

"Really I am so going to need it."

Harry looked at her belly with a proud grin, "Can you feel it kick yet?"

"No it will not happen until week 16 to 22."

Ron pouted, "That long...I want to feel my niece or nephew, the future quidditch champion, kick."

Hermione clutched Ron's hand, "It'll go by fast Ron you'll feel the baby kick soon --- Wait what I am reassuring you for?"

Ginny laughed at Hermione's words, the look on Ron's face was priceless.

A pounding on the door drew them away. Ron groaned as the familiar shriek of his girlfriend echoed through the door.

Harry looked at Hermione "Quick your jumper."

Hermione quickly pulled her jumper down hiding her belly.

Hermione then rolled her eyes at them, "Hello I'm not showing just open the door."

"Please Hermione, Lavender will go mental if she sees you with your jumper up," he pleaded with her.

"Alright," she huffed.

Ron waited until Hermione pulled down her jumper before quickly opening the door.

A very pissed off Lavender stood in the doorway.

"Where have you been? I have been looking for you."

"I told you I would be studying with Harry, Gin and Hermione."

Lavender looked at the group glaring when her eyes landed on Hermione, "Why are you always with her?" she pointed at Hermione.

Hermione rolled her eyes and sat back on the chair with a huff. "Here we go again,"

Hermione whispered loud enough for Harry and Ginny to hear.

They too sat down clearly annoyed at the row that was about to happen.

Ron was annoyed, he was getting tired of this shit, "Lavender we are just studying."

"Why can't you study with me?" Ron did not want to tell her the truth that Hermione was smarter than she was, so instead he said,

"I'm sorry Lav but we always study together, it's like second nature."

"I don't want you to study with her," she pointed at Hermione.

Ron's anger showed clearly on his face. "Lav for the last time, I am not interested in Hermione other than as a friend."

"So you say," she spat out.

"That's it I'm done," Ron growled out.

"What?" she said in shock.

"My friends are right, you don't trust me, I hate that you are always jealous of everyone I hang around. Until you can trust me it's over."

"Not everyone just her," she spat at Hermione.

"Bloody hell Lav she's my friend that's all, this is too much. It really is over."

"But won won...," she whined.

Ron blanched, "Don't call me won won! I hate that fucking nickname and you know it."

Ginny snickered into her hands.

"Ron please..."

"No we need some space, some time apart. I am sorry Lavender but it's for the best."

Lavender's lips trembled as she ran out of the room crying.

Ron sighed putting his head down.

He adored her but he just could not take anymore of her irrational behaviour.

Hermione stood placing her hand around her friend, "Sorry Ron it's my fault."

Ron shook his head, "No it's not Hermione, it's all Lav. She has jealously issues and it was bound to happen, maybe now with the space she can think about things you know."

Hermione hugged her friend.

"It'll be okay, everything will work out."

Week 14

The seventh years stood at Hagrid's shack waiting patiently for their Professor to arrive.

Looks of boredom clearly written on everyone's face as everyone tried his or her best to pass the time until Hagrid arrived.

Hermione held her back in pain.

"Mione you okay?" Ron asked.

She nodded, "Back is a little sore that's all."

"What happened?"

"I jut slept wrong last night."

Ron touched her back rubbing it, Hermione sighed it felt wonderful.

"Better?" Ron asked.

Hermione moaned at the feeling.

Draco chuckled pointing at Granger and Weasley.

"Awww look boys Weasel-bee and Granger are all lovey dovey."

His boys all made a mocking awwww noise.

Ron looked at Lavender who was glaring at him.

Hermione turned to Malfoy and spat, "Shut up Malfoy."

He chuckled, "What's wrong Granger, are you and him are keeping it a secret?"

Ron's knuckles were turning white as he tried to control his anger.

Draco smirked at Weasley's angry face, "What's wrong Weasel, nothing to say?"

Ron took a step forward but Harry walked to Ron gripping his arm as his friend's fists clenched.

"He is not worth it Ron," Harry said glaring at Malfoy.

"Breathe Ron," Ginny said softly trying to calm down her brother.

"We are just friends Malfoy," Hermione explained to him.

"Riiiight, and I am not a pureblood," he teased.

Ron sneered about to say something when Hagrid arrived.

"Hello you lot. Well I have a real treat for you come with me," Hargid smiled at his students motioning them to follow him.

The students followed Hagrid.

Hermione looked at Lavender as she passed trying to plead with her to understand that Malfoy was lying.

"Lav it's not what you think, Malfoy is just being a bloody git ---"

She glared hissing, "Save it," walking away from the trio.

Hermione mouthed 'sorry' to Ron who just shook his head and smiled.

The seventh years walked with Hagrid after what felt like ages until they stopped in their tracks at the beautiful sight. There in a meadow was a herd of unicorns.

"Oh wow!" Hermione said with excitement at the sight of the unicorns.

The incident with Malfoy and Lavender was forgotten in her mind.

"Blimey," Ron whispered, "their brilliant," he said with wonder.

"They're beautiful," Luna, said standing next to Hermione.

They had seen unicorns in fourth year when Professor Plank took over a few classes.

However, not this close up and not this many.

Hagrid smiled waving his hand to the herd. "Well you lot these, as you well know, are unicorns. Notice their golden hooves."

Everyone stared at the herd of unicorns in wonder.

"Here's an easy question. Can anyone tell me whose touch a unicorn prefers?"

Hermione's hand shot up, this was indeed an easy question.

Hagrid smiled pointing to Hermione. "Yes Miss Granger."

"A unicorn prefers a woman's touch Professor," she said.

Hargid beamed, "Excellent ten points to Gryffindor."

The Gryffindors all gave Hermione thumbs up. Hermione beamed with pride.

Draco laughed sneering "They'd probably flee at your touch Granger after all you can hardly call yourself a woman."

His friends laughed at his taunt, all except for Blaise.

Blaise glared at his friend, 'What a moron,' Blaise thought.

Blaise leaned in hissing softly, "You are a fucking idiot. What's wrong with you?"

"Sod off," Draco hissed back."

Hermione looked away from him, tears filling her eyes.

Harry went to lunge at him however,

Hagrid stopped him holding his arm. "That's enough Mr. Malfoy. Twenty points from Slytherin for Mr. Malfoy's inappropriate taunting."

The group of Slytherins complained under their breath at the half-giant.

Ginny wrapped her arm around Hermione to comfort her.

"Don't listen to him Mione, he's an arse."

Hagrid let Harry go patting his arm.

"Now back to the lesson."

Harry and Ron were both staring at Malfoy with daggers.

Hagrid slouched down to get a good look at the unicorn.

"Now can anyone tell me something about a Unicorn's foal?"

[Silence]

Everyone looked at each other with an 'I don't know' look.

When no one said anything Hagrid grumbled, "Come on you lot someone must know something about them?"

Hermione raised her hand, he smiled he could always count on Hermione.

"Yes Miss Granger." She looked at Malfoy hesitantly not sure, if she should answer.

Hargid smiled, "Come on Miss Granger teach us all something."

Hermione returned his smile as she answered him, "Unicorn foals when born are pure gold Professor. They turn silver when they are about two years old. They grow their horns at around four. At seven years old, they're fully grown and turn pure white," Hermione took a deep breath.

Hermione hoped she remembered the text from her textbook, and hoped her information was correct.

Hargid looked like his face would split in two, "Spot on Miss Granger! Thirty points to Gryffindor."

The Gryffindors all clapped for Hermione, who blushed at their praise.

Draco and his gang sneered at the Gryffindor earning points for her house.

Hagrid pointed to the herd, he wanted his class to be fun as well as informative.

"Now here are a few interesting facts about these magnificent creatures. Unicorns are powerful creatures in fac ---" Hagrid stopped mid sentence when a unicorn foal walked slowly up to the class.

Everyone gasped at the unicorn come towards the class.

"It's coming to us," Seamus Finnegan almost shrieked.

Hagrid looked at the group in confusion.

His confusion turned to shock when the tiny creature walked up to Hermione nuzzling her stomach.

Hermione giggled lightly petting the beautiful creature.

Whoever was next to Hermione had a once in a lifetime opportunity and petted the animal as well.

Harry looked at Hermione with a stunned look on his face, he grinned at Ginny "My friend is bloody brilliant. Go Hermione!" he cheered.

Ginny giggled at him kissing his cheek.

Hagrid looked at Hermione's belly in shock he shook his head. He cleared his throat getting the attention of the class and Hermione.

Hagrid looked at Hermione's belly in shock he shook his head. He cleared his throat getting the attention of the class and Hermione.

"Um---Miss Granger can I speak to you after class please."

Hermione nuzzled the baby's face as she happily said, "Of course Professor."

"Good now shoo little one head back to your herd," Hargid made a go motion.

The unicorn babe galloped back to its family. Hagrid continued the class until the hour was up.

After lessons were through, Hagrid asked Hermione to stay. Ron and Harry wanted to stay with her however; Hagrid assured them that this was a private teacher and student conversation.

Reluctantly they left her with Hagrid.

Hagrid nervously sat in his huge chair while Hermione hopped on hers.

Hermione wiggled her body so she could get comfortable.

He chuckled lightly at her as she looked like an elf in his chair.

Hagrid smiled at her asking, "Tea?"

Hermione shook her head, her doctor had given her a list of things she should not have, one of them being anything with caffeine.

"Would you happen to have milk?" Hermione asked.

Hargid nodded going to his cooler to fetch her some milk. Taking out his bottle of fresh milk, he poured her a glass. He smiled handing it to her.

Hermione graciously took it gulping down the tall glass. The glass was so big Hermione could barely fit both her hands around it.

Hagrid knew that there was not any easy way to ask the question; he just decided to blurt it out, "Hermione are you with child?"

Hermione spat out her milk, spraying it all over Hagrid. Hermione gasped looking at Hagrid who had milk dripping down his beard.

"I'm sorry Hagrid," she said coughing up some of the milk that came out of her nose.

He chuckled grabbing his handkerchief to wipe his face.

"It is fine, I needed a bath anyways."

Hermione weakly smiled, "Why did you ask me that Hagrid?"

Hargid sighed as he grabbed her tiny hands, they were swallowed in his large ones as he spoke, "Hermione a unicorn foal is attracted to purity and innocence and the fact that the foal nuzzled your belly well ---."

Hermione's eyes widened in surprise, "Oh," she softly whispered.

"Are you?"

Hermione looked at him with a tear in her eye she could not lie to him.

"Yes I am."

Hagrid shook his head, "How did this happen, Oh blimey did something bad happen to you? If so we have to report this to Dumbledore immediately."

Hermione shook her head, "No it was consensual Hagrid."

"Who is the father Hermione? Is it Ron?"

Hermione smiled, "I won't tell you I haven't even told Harry or Ron who it is. However it is not Ron, I can not begin to tell you how disturbing that would be."

Hagrid chuckled, he found the thought of Ron being the father disturbing as well.

'It's not a lie' Hermione thought of the answer she gave him.

Hargird glared at her, he did not like the idea of her doing this without the father. He needed to take some of the responsibility.

"He should be here for you," he snapped.

"Hagrid he won't. It was a one night stand," Hermione whispered blushing at her admittance.

Hagrid was in shock that his little friend Hermione had a one night stand with a random person.

"Hagrid everything is fine. My parents are supportive and so is everyone else. I just do not want the rest of the world to know yet. You, Remus and Sirius at this moment are the only adults who know."

Hargid gasped in shock, "You mean Dumbledore does not know?"

"No just you, Remus and Sirius."

"Harry and Ron know?"

She nodded "Yes Ginny knows too, and so do my parents so you see I am not alone."

Hargid stared at her in shock; he was one of the only the professors who knew.

"Hermione I don't want you to be angry, however I have to ask, are you keeping the babe?"

She nodded "Yes I am." she looked at her belly rubbing it.

"How far along are you Hermione?"

"14 Weeks."

His eyes widened at her belly, she was not showing, "How is that possible? You don't have a bump?"

Hermione shook her head, "I am not showing yet. It's normal for some women not to show until they are further along."

"Hermione I can't believe it."

His eyes glistened looking at her.

"I know it's not what you expected of me but it will all work out."

His next words made her want to cry. He did not lecture her or put her down.

"You're going to be a mama," Hagrid said in awe.

Hargid smiled at her with pride.

Hermione held his hands as he chatted with her about her plans.

An hour later Hagrid was still not sure how she could do this.

"I hope you know that this will be difficult and the fact you still want to go to University, well it will be a hand full with the baby."

"I know but I don't want to give up my dreams. I am just going to add my baby into the equation."

Hagrid beamed patting her hand, "If anyone can do it Hermione you can."

Hargid gaped looking at the sun setting, "Blimey look at the time, you better be off."

Hermione nodded, handing him her empty glass.

"I will see you tomorrow Hagrid."

"Yes you will come back tomorrow we'll have a spot of --- milk."

Hermione laughed, walking out the door.

00000000000

Hermione walked to the Gryffindor common room. She had to tell her friends about Hagrid knowing. She froze when she heard screaming. Hermione quickly walked into the room and gaped Lavender was screaming at Ron who was yelling back at her.

All of Gryffindor stood watching the scene as if it was entertainment.

"What going on?" Hermione asked looking at Harry. Harry gave her an annoyed looking telling her it was one of those fights.

Lavender whipped her head to Hermione and growled, "You! This is entirely your fault."

She pulled out her wand pointing it at Hermione.

"Stupefy" she screamed.

A red light shot out of her wand straight at Hermione.

Ginny screamed Hermione's name but she knew Hermione would not turn in time to duck out of the way. Ginny pushed Hermione out of the way. Instead of Hermione, Ginny was hit by Lavender's spell.

Ginny stumbled falling, hitting her head on the edge of the long table.

The room screamed in horror at the sickening sound made by Ginny's head hitting the table.

"Ginny!" they all called out rushing to her side.

Harry dropped to his knees at the sight of his girlfriend lying on the floor. Harry felt her head to digest the damage to his horror when he pulled his hand away blood stained his hands.

"Baby, sweetheart," he croaked out.

Hermione sobbed into her hands, Ginny had taken the hit for her.

"Ginny oh god," Hermione cried.

Harry looked at them, "We have to get her to the hospital wing," he said.

They all nodded, Harry lifted his girlfriend in his arms walking past Lavender he glared, "You ever come near Ginny or Hermione again, I will fucking kill you."

Lavender flinched at the intensity of his voice she knew he meant it.

Harry rushed out with Ginny in his arms along with half of Gryffindor on his tail.

Lavender stood crying into her hands, she saw Ron and weakly smiled, "Ron, I'm sorry I did not mean to hit her I ---" she tried to explain through whimpers.

Fury rose in Ron he thought of his sister being rushed to the hospital wing, with blood oozing from her head. He thought of Hermione if the spell had hit Hermione the damage it could have done to her and her baby. Anger raged through him no longer did he see Lavender the woman he loved. Whom he saw is the stupid bitch that almost hurt the two people who he loved more than anything.

Ron did something that shocked even him as he slapped her hard. The sound of the slap echoed throughout the room.

Lavender looked at him in shock as she held her face.

Ron glared at Lavender, "Save it, you did not mean to hit my sister, you did however, mean to hit Hermione."

Lavender shuddered at the hate in his eyes.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Ron please I'm ---"

"It's really over! I never want to see or hear from you again."

"Ron I did not mean to hurt you."

Ron walked up to her getting in her face, "But you did! You may have not wanted to but you did. You hurt my Sister!" he screamed, gripping her shoulders, "You could have hurt Hermione! You have no idea how much I loved you; you have no idea how happy she was for us. "

"Ron she ruined everything," Lavender cried.

"She did not ruin anything Lavender you did, you and your fucking jealously ruined our relationship. I could have forgiven your stupid petty ways. This however, is unforgivable. You almost killed two people who I love dearly."

"Ron I am sorry."

Ron looked at her tears rolling down his face, and then turned on his heels walking out heading for the hospital wing leaving Lavender in a sobbing heap on the floor.

Week 17

Ginny recovered well from the stunning spell. She was back to 100% in no time.

However, after what Lavender did, no one in Gryffindor house talked to her or even acknowledged her. People were cruel to Lavender and Hermione did not think it was right. She would catch Lavender crying sometimes and it hurt her, it hurt her to see someone she cared about in pain.

If Lavender's pain hurt her, Ron's pain broke her heart. Ron was miserable and his house knew it. He still loved Lavender however, he did not know how to forgive her for what she did.

After a week of Ron's depression Ginny asked him to talk to her, but he flatly refused. Hermione even told him that he should work things out with her. However, he yelled at her and told her he could not after what she almost did to her. Therefore, she dropped the subject.

One night Hermione was having a walk by the black lake. The cool air was refreshing as she shuffled to the water's edge, Hermione slipped her feet into the cool water when she heard crying. Hermione frowned thinking someone might be hurt so she got up to investigate. As she walked closer to the cries she saw a girl crying with her head in between her knees.

She recognized the blond hair and asked, "Lavender is that you?"

Lavender looked at Hermione with shock in her eyes, "What are you doing here Hermione?"

Her first thought was to let her go. However, something in Hermione did not let her, she sighed walking over to the crying girl.

Hermione smiled weakly slowly sitting down next to her.

"I was going to for a walk when I heard you crying. Are you alright?"

Lavender could not believe that she was talking to her.

"Why are you even talking to me after what I did?"

Hermione nodded, "I should let you cry your eyes out, I should walk away but that's not me. You are my friend Lavender no matter what you did."

Lavender teared at her words, "I was not a good friend to you."

"No you weren't. I was honest with you Lav I am not interested in Ron."

Lavender had to say what was on her mind, "But he's always dotting on you, he's always by your side."

Hermione smiled, "It's always been that way Lav, they think I'm breakable," Hermione rolled her eyes.

Lavender smiled at Hermione's eye roll.

Hermione animatedly spoke, "I mean hello I helped them beat you-know-who, I was by their side every step of the way and they still treat me like I'm made of glass."

"Hermione I'm so sorry," Lavender, said it and Hermione truly believed she meant it.

Hermione smiled, "I know Ron still loves you."

Lavender cried at her words, "I lost him didn't I?"

"Maybe I don't know, you have to stop thinking the worse of him, you have to trust him, trust me Lav I trust you."

Lavender looked at her in shock, "You do?"

Hermione breathed in; there was only one way to help Ron and Lavender. Lavender needed to know the true reason Ron was so protective of her.

"I have a secret, which is one of the main reasons why Ron and Harry are always around me. But if I tell you Lav you can't tell anyone."

Lavender was happy she trusted her. She was not going to fuck it up this time.

"I won't," she said.

Hermione looked at her "I mean it Lav, if my secret gets out it could ruin my life, I don't want anyone to know yet, not until I'm ready, only a few people know. Do you promise?"

"I promise Hermione. Cross my heart and hope to die," Lavender made a cross over her heart.

Hermione nodded wrapping her arm around her.

"I'm pregnant."

Lavender gasped her mouth dropping open, "What?"

Hermione sighed, "Yup the Princess of Gryffindor is knocked up."

Lavender looked at her belly in awe.

"How far along are you?"

"17 weeks."

Lavender's eyes bugged out, "You look great for being that far long."

Hermione giggled, "I'm not showing...it will be a long while until I do it's just a small peak."

Lavender looked at Hermione in shock, "Whose baby is it?"

Hermione shook her head, "I can't tell you. Harry or Ron don't know who the father is, and it's my secret."

Lavender nodded "You're really pregnant?"

"Yes and before you ask, it's not Ron's, that's just gross."

Lavender laughed, "I know it's not his and I trust you, if you say it's not his I believe you, and just to let you know Mione I never thought it was his."

Hermione looked at lavender in disbelief.

Lavender smiled, "I know you Hermione I should have never doubted you and Ron, it's just I feel so left out sometimes. You Harry, Ginny and Ron are like this gang and I'm on the outside and it hurts."

"Lav I never ---."

Lavender held her hand up, "Let me finish okay?"

Hermione nodded as she let Lavender continue.

"When he started dotting on you I felt insecure, anyone would Hermione you're so pretty."

Hermione laughed at lavender's words, "Come on Lav you don't have to lie."

Lavender glared, "I am not lying you have no idea how pretty you are and that's one of the main reasons why you have so little friends who are girls. They do not want to compete with you. You make us feel average Hermione, you have it all beauty and brains. I was jealous of you, insanely jealous."

Hermione was looking at Lavender as if she had grown a second head.

"I am sorry Hermione I hope you can really forgive me and we can start again."

Hermione nodded, "Just as long as you apologize to Ginny and Harry. And please put Ron out of his misery and talk to him."

Lavender looked at her hands in pain.

"He won't talk to me."

Hermione beamed standing up grabbing Lavender's hand.

"He will when I force him to."

Lavender giggled as Hermione dragged her to the castle to face Ron.

Gryffindor Common Room

Lavender was frightened as Hermione pulled her to the Gryffindor common room.

"Hermione maybe we shouldn't---" Lavender said nervously.

"Oh hush we are doing this. I am tried of seeing you two moping, I'd rather have you two sucking face than moping."

Lavender burst out laughing at Hermione as they got to the portrait hole.

Hermione banged open the door making everyone jump.

She scanned the room seeking out the person she needed to talk to. She caught glimpse of red hair where he sat playing chess with Harry.

She screamed, "Ronald Weasley!"

Ron fell out of his chair in fright, "Hermione?" he looked around in worry, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Hermione glared, "I need to talk to you and---" she turned to the seat next to him, pointing to both Ginny and Harry, "You two as well in my dorm. Now!"

They all nodded quickly following as Hermione pulled Lavender with her leaving everyone in the common room to wonder what was going on.

Head Dorms - Common Room

The Slytherins sat on the couch watching Draco and Blaise play a game of wizard's chess when the portrait banged open.

Hermione pushed her friends inside.

She pointed to her room, "The four of you in my room now."

They all rushed into the room without a thought.

Draco quirked his brow, completely impressed with her.

"Never knew you were so dominating Granger."

Hermione glared, "I am not in the mood for your shit tonight Malfoy."

She pulled out her wand placing a foolproof silencing spell, she smirked to Malfoy "That's for the tip."

She turned slamming the door closed.

"That chit is weird," Blaise teased earning a laugh from his friends.

Draco chuckled as he continued his game of chess with Blaise.

Hermione's Chambers

Ron stood looking at Lavender wondering why Hermione brought him here. Hermione stepped through the door slamming her door behind her. He knew he was in trouble.

"Mione what's going on?"

"I am here to tell you that I am tired of your moping. It's time you and Lavender talked and patched things up."

Harry and Ginny smiled.

"Patch things up with her? She almost killed my baby sister."

"Oh please Ron...she just got stunned, we have been through worse and survived. She's sorry, just talk to her."

Ron gaped at his friend, "Just stunned are you kidding? She hit her head there was blood that isn't something small Hermione!" he yelled.

Ginny stepped in, "She's right Ron, what she did was wrong. I got hurt but it wasn't that bad. However you can't tell me you don't have a jealous streak in you as well."

Ron glared knowing it was true.

Harry chuckled, "You just met your match."

Lavender looked at Ginny and Harry with all the sincerity she could convey, she spoke, "I am sorry. I truly am. I know what I did was wrong. I am sorry."

"I know you are Lavender," Ginny said hugging her friend.

Ron looked at Lavender he had to admit he missed her, Ron nervously ran a hand through his hair as he spoke, "We can go for a walk if you want?"

Lavender looked at him with hope in her eyes, "I'd love to."

He sighed motioning her to come along as he walked out the door.

Lavender smiled at Hermione mouthing a 'thank you' as she left.

As soon as she left Harry chuckled, "How many galleons you want to bet that in less than an hour they will be snogging."

Ginny and Hermione laughed at Harry's words knowing it was true.

"So Hermione what are you wearing to the Costume ball?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know something loose and comfortable."

"I've got just the thing," Ginny smiled.

Harry rolled his eyes as the two started talking about girly stuff.
