Disclaimer- i do not own Harry Potter... I am just using the characters and adapting them into my own story for my satisfaction... i don't make money from this.
A/N – Thanks for the reviews! Chapter ten is up!
Draco and Harry burst through the Hospital wing doors, accompanied by Hermione, who shouted over madam Pomfrey. She came rushing over and smiled warmly at Pansy.
"Hello dear, your in labour?" she asked.
"Do you think?" Pansy almost shouted back. Harry looked at Pansy in surprise.
"Pansy..." he started, but she interrupted him.
"Don't argue with me Harry Potter, just make the bloody pain go away." She whined. Madam Pomfrey gave them a sympathetic look and rushed over to her office to grab a pale lilac potion and handing it to Pansy.
"Drink this. The pain will fade within half an hour and then you will feel tired, but it is important that you don't fall asleep. After about two hours, you will feel the tiredness fade and you child will become formed into the cot beside you. You are the first girl to fall into labour, so i understand your worries. Please shout me if you need anything." She rushed away to a fourth year, of who had appeared to have broken his wrist.
"Come on Pansy, Drink up." Harry encouraged, receiving a deathly glare. "Um, in... Your own time, that is." He added hastily. She groaned and turned her back to him, gulping down the potion greedily. Sensing that they were going to be here for some time, Hermione sat down in the chair beside the hospital bed and Draco sat on the floor, leaning on Hermione's legs. Hermione looked down at him in surprise, but he just shrugged and lent his head back into her knees. She felt her face grow red and instead she concentrated on Pansy.
"Pain any better?" she asked softly, patting Pansy on the arm.
"A little, it's ten times worse than period pai-..." She was cut off but Draco covering his ears and shouting out at the top of his voice.
"Don't even go there." He shouted, "I don't want to know about your womanly goings on." Hermione and Pansy both chuckled slightly at his childness, Harry grinned and agreed with a nod of the head.
"If you are both going to act like three year olds, then please leave." Hermione said threateningly, receiving a silent 'thank you' grin from Pansy. Both of the men shut up quickly, with Harry taking the second empty chair. Pansy let out a frustrated whine and flopped her head back on the pillow. She began to run small circles on her stomach and sighed, glancing at the ceiling.
A loud crash made them all jump about twenty minutes later, causing them to all glance over at the door. Madam Pomfrey came rushing out of her office, only to find a sweaty Vincent Crabbe and an annoyed Hannah.
"You make so much noise." She hissed at him, clearly in a state of pain. To Hermione, Hannah was always a quiet, shy girl, but now Hermione saw her temper. He muttered something to her and she growled under her breath. Madam Pomfrey quickly directed them to a bed and gave Hannah a similar potion to Pansy's one.
"Harry, what are you doing?" Hermione asked, as Harry stood up.
"Pulling the curtain." He said, dragging the end of the pale blue fabric around the rail, enclosing them around the bed.
"Thanks." Pansy muttered, sleepily.
"Pansy, stay awake..." Draco said, glancing up at the pale girl.
"Yeah, yeah." She said replied, turning to Hermione to immerse herself in chat to keep her awake.

Draco sat up bolt right at the sound of a cry. He looked over at the bed and saw both Pansy and Hermione gathered around a small cot. Harry stood back a little, looking over the female's heads, grinning from ear to ear.
"What did i miss?" Draco muttered, looking at Harry.
"Joshua." Harry muttered simply, still grinning.
"Jos- wait... It's a boy?" he asked stupidly, rubbing his eyes.
"Well, no duh." Pansy said, turning to face him. She could see her eyes were red and presumed she had been crying. "Want to see?"
"Sure." He said, getting to his feet and leaning next to Hermione, who stiffened at the closeness. This didn't go unmissed by Draco, who rolled his eyes.
Joshua Albus James Potter was tiny. Draco had never really seen a baby so little before, but then again he didn't see many babies any way. The baby had a jet back tuft of hair visible under the swaddle of blue blankets wrapped around him. He had pale skin and big brown eyes like pansy too.
"He looks like you both. Um, do i say congratulations?" he said, unsure.
"Yes Draco, you do." Hermione said in a tone that you wouldn't dare disagree with.
"And Crabbe and Hannah had a boy too. Benjamin Crabbe, i think they called him." Harry informed Draco.
"Whoa man, how long was i out?" Draco asked.
"About three hours. Seamus and Marietta have been over there for about an hour or so and Dean and Demelza arrived just before you woke." Hermione said, looking tired. Draco longed to ask her how she was, but he couldn't find the right words.
"Any way, I'm heading back home now, if you want to come?" she continued. Draco nodded and looked at Pansy.
"See you later and well done... he would be a looker to the ladies. Not that he got that from you Harry." He teased, as Hermione swiped at him with her fist."I was joking."
"Bye Draco." Harry and Pansy said together, laughing at them. Hermione walked out of the door and Draco trailed along behind her.
They reached their dorm a little while later, letting themselves in and spreading out on the sofa.
"You ok?" Draco asked, attempting a conversation.
"He speaks!" Hermione said in mock astonishment.
"Nah, I thought you were ignoring me."
"Why would i ignore you?" she asked.
"Well, You haven't made a move to speak to me... or look at me... or-"
"I haven't had anything to say." She said, looking into his eyes.
"Ok, ok... well, what was it you wanted to do?" he asked. She studied him for a minute, noticing the way his face didn't hold the usual frown or smirk that it would have had in the previous years.
"I don't know... I am going to read for a while..." she trailed off, rising from the sofa and leaving the living room. He was left on the sofa, alone and surprisingly cold. He reached up and grabbed a blanket from the end of the sofa, picked up a nearby book and began to read.
He was disrupted a short while later from a knock on the door, and sighing, he got up to answer it. Pulling the door open, he discovered a very out of breath Blaise.
"Want to come in?" he asked.
"No thanks, just came by to tell you that Destiny was born about twenty minutes ago." He clenched his side, catching his breath.
"Nice, congratulations mate." Draco said, grinning at his friend.
"Thanks let Hermione know... Susan asked me to tell her, but you can let her know." He smirked and started down the corridor again.
"See you later." Draco called after him and he got a shout of 'sure' in return. Chuckling to himself he closed the door and turned around.
"Shit!" he shouted, steadying himself.
"Language Draco Malfoy." Hermione smirked and walked over to the sofa.
"You should scare people." He whined, and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Visa versa." She laughed at his face as he remembered that he had scared her earlier.
"Oh yeah." Was all he said. He went over the kitchen and ran the tap, filling two glasses.
"Um, Draco..."
"What?" he asked her from the kitchen.
"You can forget the water."
"Why?" he asked, confused.
"Because... mine just broke!" she said quietly.
