Normally, Draco would love the attention. But his attention was on the two people sitting on the other side of the room. He knew it was Hermione and he knew for a fact that she was avoiding him because of her pride. As class soon began, he found he couldn't focus and cursed his stubborness.
"Malfoy. Why don't you tell the class what a proper Wolfsbane does?"
"Why don't you bugger off?"

The entire class went deadly silent as Professor Snape and Draco stared at each other. Hermione shifted in her seat. For the first time she had looked at Draco, and it broke her heart to see the state he was in. He looked a down-right mess. His eyes had dark rings underneath them, his hair didn't have that normal Malfoy sheen, and he had lost a considerable amount of weight. She looked down with her hands on her stomach in thought. It was his and she did need to tell him at some point. She buried her head in her hands as she thought about the situation with Harry.

"I don't believe I heard you correctly, Mr. Malfoy. Would you mind repeating?"
"Clean the junk out of your ears and BUGGER OFF!"
"Oh for Merlin's sake! Wolfbane is a potion that will allow a werewolf to retain his intelligence when he transforms, thus rendering him less dangerous." Hermione screamed.
"Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger, you will both be serving detention tonight at seven for your outburts. Turn to page 276."

"I can't believe he gave me detention for giving the right answer! Why is he such a twit?!"
"Calm down, Hermione." Harry said placing his hand on her stomach. "Don't stress. You're not the only one that's going to hurt because of it."

Hermione sighed. "You're right. I'm just going to go lay down. See you at dinner?"
"I'll be there."
Draco watched as Hermione walked in the opposite direction, with Harry looking after her. He scowled and walked up to Harry and tapped him on the shoulder.
"You two have gotten pretty close since I've been gone, haven't you?"

Harry whirled around and faced Draco with exasperation on his face.
"Draco. How ah...how have you been?"
"Cut the small talk, Potter. Why won't Hermione even look at me?"
"You're serious?"
"I'm not talking to you for giggles, Potter."
"Look, Hermione doesn't want to talk to you or..look at you because you left her with nothing. And for what? The Dark Lord and his goonies. How do you think that made her feel?"

Draco sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I didn't want to hurt her."
"Well you did. It's going to be hard for her to talk to you with her...current situation. She doesn't need the stress. So leave her alone."
Draco stared at Harry and smirked.
"I figured as much."
"What?"
"I'm not stupid, Potter. Hermione's pregnant. She must of loved me so much to turn around and conceive with you."

Harry stared in disbelief and tried to catch Draco as he walked away.
"Draco, wait! It's not what you think!"
Draco spun around and punched Harry in the jaw. Harry flew to the floor in a jumbled heap. He looked up as Draco stood over him with fury in his eyes.

"Don't tell me what I'm thinking, Potter. I should've known better than to trust a Mudblood with something as precious as my heart. Keep that filthy thing away from me. Especially you. Or I'll hit you so hard it'll wake up your dentist."
With that, Draco walked away and around the corner, leaving Harry on the floor confused and flustered.
