"I can't believe them just look at them two." Ginny complained.
Weeks have gone by, many rumors filled the halls. Wherever Draco was Astoria was beside him.
"I don't care anymore." Hermione said rereading the same sentence 15 times.
"Have you noticed that where ever you go seconds later they show up." Ginny looked intensly at Hermione to see her reaction.
"It's just coincidence. And if it were to be that case why would I care." She said finally looking up.
"Hermione I know you're acting strong." Ginny said.
"I'm not feeling well I'm going to the restroom." Hermione took her leave.
Hermione has been sick, she has a bad case of vomiting. The moment she got out of the restroom, she saw Draco standing outside.
Hermione ignored his presence and kept walking. A hand wrapped around her wrist. It was obvious who it was so she didn't bother to turn around.
"Let go." She said trying to shake off his hand.
"I can't I've tried." He hold on tightly.
"You actually try at something, surprising."
"Hermione, why is it always like this." Draco said painfully.
Hermione finally turned around and looked at him.
"Why?" He shouted.
Hermione stayed silent. She searched his face for something but she didn't know what she was searching for.
"Why can't I have choice. Why am I the boy who doesn't have a choice." Draco whispered.
"Draco let go." She felt the hand tighten more.
"Why did you stop." He looked intensly at her.
"Why did you stop loving me." He repeated.
"Ron was right it wasn't love it was me rebelling. I never loved you."
"Lies." He exclaimed.
"Just like what you once said 'you're just a toy'. It was just an act, you yourself said I hide my true feelings, and my feelings towards you were got the fucks of it." She said it with a straight face.
"So it was just me, one sidedly falling in love." He finally let her go.
Hermione walked away. Images of them repeated endlessly. She hated the pain deep inside. He was wrong it was her, one sidedly falling in love with him.
She had hit someone making her knock down on her but. She looked up to see Ginny apologizing.
"Ginny I'm not feeling well, I'm going to sleep."
"Oh okay I'll go with you."
"I want to sleep Ginny..." She ran to the restroom again for she urged to throw up.
Ginny ran behind for she thought her.ione was running away from her.
"Hermione why are you running away." She entered the restroom and realised she wasn't running away from her. She was just sick.
"Are you not feeling well again." Ginny hold her hair back.
" It's been two weeks and I can't stop throwing up." Hermione cleaned herself.
"Maybe food poisoning from Astoria's party. You got sick after the party."
"Perhaps."
"We should go check with Madam Pomfrey." Ginny suggested.
Ginny and Ron waited outside the nursery. They both hoped nothing was serious.
The door open and Madam Pomfrey walked out. Both Ron and Ginny ran to notify what was wrong with Hermione.
"Tell us doc will she live." Ron quoted from the melodramas. Ginny rewarded his goofiness with a smack in the back of his head.
"Where you able to cure her." Ginny was eager to know.
"She doesn't need any curing when she has been blessed." Ron and Ginny were confused. "There's nothing wrong."
"Can we go see her." Ron asked.
"That's not my choice, this is a very delicate issue."
"What do you mean delicate, you said nothing was wrong with her." Ron exclaimed.
"Could it be." Ginny looked at Madam Pomfrey. Madam Pomfrey returned a smile.
"What could be." Ron as clueless as ever.
"I'll go ask hermione if I should let you in." Madam Pomfrey went back into the nursery.
Seconds later she walks out the door and nods. Both Ginny and Ron run towards the door.
"Sorry, only Ginny." She said stopping Ron.
Ginny already at the door looks back to see her brother being hold back.
"I'll tell you everything." She smiled and entered the nursery.
Beds all lined up covered in white lined up the pathway.She looked each side of the pathway for Hermione. One bed in the far end next to a open window Hermione lay down.
Hermione and Ginny exchanged smiles. Just with a single smile she knew everything.
"Shut up." Ginny finally said.
"I'm not saying anything." She laughed.
"Are you really..."
"Yeah." Hermione responded.
"So is the father..." Ginny didn't continue.
"Who else could it be." Hermione turned her face away from her. She was ashamed.
"Are you going to tell him."
"No." Hermione said. Ginny saw Hermione cry through a mirror.
"Hermione you should tell him, he's the father. You won't be able to hide it forever."
"Why will I tell him, so that he can have me as a mistress and my child be a accident, no thank you. I'm 2 weeks pregnant, there's 5 weeks of school left I'll be able to hide it as long as I use my robe. And after graduation..." Hermione stopped.
"And after graduation" Ginny asked.
"Nothing."
"I still think you should tell him." She suggested.
"Ginny no, understand he's getting married and having a kid."
"Hermione you said u would give up on him because Astoria is having a baby. You're also having a baby fight for him, and your baby will need him."
* * *
"Draco." Astoria called out.
She searched around the head dorm. His room was messy but a beautiful kind of mess. His scent was all over the room. She heard someone cry.
The cry came from Draco's restroom. She opened the door and saw broken all over the floor. Draco sat there looking straight forward.
"Draco are you okay."
"Do you love me." Draco looked at her.
"Of course I do."
"Do you love me enough to make me forget her."
"I can make you forget her and more because what I feel for you is real love. I can make you only think about me, I'll fill your head with only me."
Draco pulled her in for a kiss. Her lips were full of warmth. He never felt this type of feeling before. It wasnt like Hermione's kisses, he couldn't explain if Astoria's kisses were better or are nothing compared to Hermione. The mystery drove him in for more.

I think this was the hardest chapter for me to write. I didn't know how to start it or continue it. I re-wrote this chapter 4 times, it was a pain. I had to do research on pregnancy and learned a thing or two. So Hermione and Astoria had same period week making them have their due date on the same week. And the next few chapters are going to manly focus on Astoria and Draco relationship. I'll post on Wednesday.
