《The Boy Who Protected The One He Loves》3
Advertisement
The next morning we didn't bother to eat breakfast. I just needed to get Hermione out of there as soon as I could.
I grab my wand while she plays with her new engagement ring.
"Don't you need to take anything with you," I ask her softly.
"Everything I had was at Hogwarts. Maybe Harry and Ron have taken that with them.. and otherwise Ginny will probably have something I could borrow."
It made me feel miserable to see Hermione like this, to know she would leave without me. The colour of Hermione's ring changed.
"Cobalt blue... that means miserable or extremely sad," Hermione whispers the text from the code sheet I gave her and she looks up in my eyes.
"Yes.. I feel miserable that you are so sad and because I know we won't see each other for a while," I reply
She stands up and hugs me tightly. I will miss her hugs. I will miss everything about her. Even the small twinkle in her eyes when she tried to hide the fact she laughs about my jokes I will never be able to forget.
"Shall we go," I ask with a rather high voice full with emotions. She nods and looks at her feet.
We Apparate and standbetween the trees on the eastside of the Burrow.
"I love you Hermione," I whisper to her. The ring turns pink. "Pink.. means lust, love and desire," Hermione whispers.
"Have you trained that one," I ask her with a cheeky smile. "Yes.. in the hope it would always be that colour when you see me." I grab her waist with both my hands and pull her close to me.
"You won't need that ring to know I love you with all my heart. You know, if I didn't I don't believe our little Malfoy baby would be inside your belly right now." "I guess you're right," she replies in a whisper and we kiss.

Kiss like there was no tomorrow, which was exactly our case at the moment.
"I shall.. go to the Burrow then," Hermione whispers sadly as we break apart. Her tone made me feel miserable. Her ring turns cobalt blue again as she walks off.
I try to forget that awfully sad face of Hermione, but when you have seen that once you could never forget. I wipe a tear away when she walks off to the Burrow.
When she knocks on the door I decide to leave, so I Apparate back to my home again.
I knock on the door of the Burrow. I miss Draco already. Why did we have to end like this? Absently I rub my belly under my blue-greyish sweater. This little baby will be my reminder of everything we had and still have. It won't end like this, it simply couldn't!
The door opens and Fleur Delacour stands there in a plain, light blue dress and a white apron, her beautiful blonde hair in a messy ponytail.
"Her.. Hermione?"
My hand slides to my side and I stare in her bright blue eyes. "Ye.. yes?" "Oh dear, come in quickly! WEASLEYS, HERMIONE IS HERE!" We hear some quick footsteps and the whole Weasley family, and Harry of course, come down and sit in the small living room.
Mrs Weasley hugs me tight and I was afraid she could feel my slightly swollen belly against her body. "Honey, what happened? I was so worried! Where were you?" She pushes me down on the soft, brown chair.
"Guys, one question at the time. Hermione, can you tell us where you were, did Death Eaters catch you?" Well, they kinda did, didn't they? But I won't betray Draco.. never.
Without me noticing my hand goes to my belly again. Bill walks up to me and grabs my sweater. I try to slap his hands away, but he lifts my sweater and my small baby belly is revealed for everyone to watch.

"Hermione... you're.. you.. are.. pregnant," Ron stutters in a high voice. "Who's the father," Mr Weasley asks.
"I know who he is.. but I won't tell you. You all won't accept." "Tell us who it is Hermione, we won't judge." I snort. "You obviously would! Nope, I don't betray him." "It isn't really betraying someone if you tell the name of your child's father, is it," Harry asks kindly.
"YES IT IS, POTTER," I scream at him. "Potter? What is wrong with you! You are pregnant out of nowhere, you call me Potter and everything!"
I quickly stand up and leave the living room for the kitchen. I grab the sink and splash water in my face.
"Damn you Malfoy," I whisper softly for myself. Luckily nobody heard it. My ring turns a bright red shade. Red means anger. Why was Draco angry?
I feel nauseous. I grab the sink tighter so my knuckles turn white. Just as white as my face.
"Are you okay Hermione," a small voice behind me asks. Two hands go to my shoulders and squeeze them softly. I turn around to face the green eyes of Ginny Weasley.
"No.. I'm not. Can I talk with you alone?" She nods and grabs my hand. We walk outside through the door of the kitchen outside and Ginny plumps down in the grass around a big tree. I sit down right before her.
"Can you maybe tell me, as we are with the two of us, who the lucky man is?"
"Are you sure you want to hear it? You don't like him." "As long as he makes you happy, I will accept you two." I look at my ring on my hand, which lays in the grass. It was pink. Desire, lust, love. I smile widely at it.
"He makes me happy.. I love him dearly. You know, this child was an accident, but this is the best accident I ever had in my life." "I am glad he makes you happy. This year.. with Ronald and everything.. it wasn't good for anyone. Especially for Lavender."
"Haha, you thought I felt something for Ron? I never felt anything for that boy. This whole year was only one man the one for me.. my boyfriend, the father of my child and my fiancé." "JUST TELL ALREADY!" "It.. it's Draco Malfoy, Ginny."
Well, that was said.

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'
