It was devastating to find out such a thing. She was pregnant, and with Draco Malfoy's baby, no less. After a night of fun, what she thought was change for the both of them, turned out to be a disaster the following morning. They'd had drinks, flirted backed and forth and inevitably slept together.
They'd had fun! It was a perfect night, or so she thought. He was gone the next morning, only leaving her a little breakfast for her to wake up to. Not him. He left her no note, nothing in a way to contact him… needless to say, she was utterly gutted. No—devastated.
A few weeks pass and she's heaving her guts up in her bathroom, and then a quick muggle test and… positive. Great! Just bloody great! Just what she needed! In those following couple of months, she had a few appointments with wizarding healers, just to do things right, but ultimately decided to keep the child. Not for any other reason other than she wanted to. Keeping it from her friends had been a nightmare, and when her bump started to show? …There wasn't any hiding it any more, no big, fluffy jumper could hide it. No matter how hard she tried. Not that she was ashamed, of course not—but she knew her friends and how they could react.
But she felt like she should give the father the first breaking of the news first—that was the right thing to do, wasn't it? He had a right to know; after all, it was a joint effort. She walked into his apothecary, asking his assistant politely to take her to him ( they'd be talking about that, no doubt ), and here they were. In his office, the Malfoy heir staring at her as if she was a ghost or something, but then… to her stomach. Well, nothing like getting straight to the point, right? ❝Is this how you treat your customers, Malfoy? No ❛hello❜, or ❛welcome❜?❞ Her eyes rolled lightly, one hand resting on her hip as the other came up to rest on her stomach. Sighing lightly, Hermione's eyes lowered to the bump, taking it in before closing them, ❝…Yes. Yes, Malfoy, your eyes aren't deceiving you— I'm pregnant.❞
