It all started with a dance

51

Hermione was sitting on the window sill with a oversized blanket wrapped around her, Luna was standing by the couch with Pansy and Astoria

"She's been there for the last two days, she doesn't eat or sleep" Luna whispered

"Can't she hear us?" Astoria asked

"She casted a silencing spell around her, she can't hear us and we can't hear her" Luna said

"Draco's also miserable, Ronald Weasley is going to wish that his mother had stopped at five children" Pansy spat, grabbing her wand and walking out the door

"Pansy stop!" Luna ordered

"Look at what he did to her! To Draco! I won't allow him to get away with this!" Pansy yelled

"If you go confront them, it'll only ruin things more! Think!" Astoria yelled

Pansy swore and threw her wand down, she was able to see Hermione looking at them

"Ginevra Weasley called her the M-word, her best friend used her blood status against her, Hermione's pregnant and Draco doesn't even know, he thinks that Hermione went back to the red rat" Pansy spat, looking to the floor

"Theo and Blaise are telling him that she didn't, they haven't left his side the last two days, we'll help them figure this out" Luna said

"Can we go inside, it's bloody cold out here" Astoria said, the two older girls nodded and the three made their way in, the saw Hermione wave her wand and take off the blanket

"I need to tell him...even if he doesn't want to be with me...he needs to know that I'm with his child" Hermione whispered

"Hermione..." Pansy began

"Please...just let me get this over with" Hermione whispered

Pansy, Luna and Astoria looked at one another, Luna nodded and Pansy walked up to Hermione, extending her arm and Hermione took it slowly

She apparated them in front of the manor, Hermione dig her nails into Pansy's forearm, Pansy winced but didn't say anything

"Breath Hermione" Pansy whispered, Hermione nodded and slowly released Pansy's forearm

The two girls walked to the manor, Hermione tried everything to not panic, they arrived to the doors and Pansy led Hermione in, avoiding all cost the Drawing room, they made their way down a corridor and arrived to the last door, Pansy opened it slowly and Hermione walked in

"I'm such a bloody idiot...what was a thinking...Blaise please kill me" Draco slurred, grabbing the firewhiskey

Theo saw Hermione at the door and nudged Blaise

"Mate..." Blaise began

"I let her go...I let Hermione go because what? The red rat threatened me? Threatened Hermione's future? I'm an idiot, a big, blond, idiot, I love her..." Draco whispered, crying at the last part

"Mate" Theo whispered

"I'm never loving anyone else, Hermione Granger w-was it for me, I am nev-I'll go live on the mountains, yes...I will move and live with a p-polar bear" Draco said

"Draco..." Hermione whispered

Draco dropped his glass and spun around, the speed made him fall but he kept looking at Hermione, rubbing his eyes and rubbed his eyes, looking at her as if she was an illusion

"B-Blaise...Theo...is-I-Herm-" Draco stuttered and pointed

"She's here mate" Theo said

"Hermione" he whispered

"The mountains? Really?" She whispered, Draco tried to stand up only to fall again, Blaise helped him up and Draco ran to Hermione, hugging her tightly he cried drunkenly into her neck

"I'm an idiot...I'm sorry...I'm an idiot...I love you...I'm an idiot..." he mumbled against her neck

"That you are, polar bears live in the Arctic" Hermione whispered, hugging him back

"I'm so sorry...I thought I was doing the right thing...Weasley got into my head and...I know you hate me...I hate me too...but I'll spend the rest of my life making up for it...I'll be your friend...I just don't want to lose you..." he cried, hugging her tighter

"Not too tight" she whispered, pulling back slightly, feeling him resist but let go

"W-why? What happened?" Draco asked worriedly, looking at Hermione

"Blaise, Theo...can you give us a moment?"Hermione asked

The two boys left and Hermione led Draco to the couches, she sat him down and sat beside him

"Draco...I just want you to know that you have a choice to walk away if you want...you're free to walk if you want...but I'm...I-" Hermione began

"What's wrong?" Draco whispered softly

"Draco...I'm sorry" Hermione cried, Draco wrapped his arms around her and pulled him to his chest

"What happened love?" He whispered, rubbing circles on Hermione's back

"I'm...I'm...oh gods...I'm pregnant" she cried, Draco stopped and looked at her, Hermione sobbed and covered her face with her hands

"W-When did this happen?" Draco whispered

"I don't know..." Hermione cried, Draco wrapped his arms around her once again and held her close

"Shh, it's okay...you'll be okay, we'll be okay...we'll figure it out" Draco promised

"You don't have to..." Hermione began

"You must be mad if you think I'll leave you or this baby, I love you" Draco said

"But..." Hermione began

"No 'buts', I'm not going anywhere" Draco swore

Hermione smiled softly, putting a hand on his cheek

"So what do you want to do?" Draco whispered

Hermione shrugged, Draco was rubbing her back slowly

"I want to keep it...I-I always wanted to be a mother...and after the w-war...I was told it would be hard for me to have children..." she whispered, looking down, Draco put a finger under her chin and raised her head

"This is your choice love, I'm not going anywhere" Draco promised

"I want to keep it..." she confirmed

Draco smiled and kissed her, pulling back he connected their foreheads "I'm not leaving" he promised her

"I love you..." she whispered

"I love you too, we'll figure this out, we're in this together" he whispered

Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and cried, she cried for her baby, for Draco, for the loss of her best friends, Draco just soothed her until she passed out of exhaustion
