"I was pregnant," Hermione blurted out. "I was pregnant, and when Snape used the Curciatus curse on me, I lost the baby. Me and Draco-we were—we were to—have a baby—" Shocked murmurs ran through the hall. She looked at Amita to see if she was doing it right, and the lawyer nodded once more. Hermione started crying all the while making sure her voice was trembling just the right amount. She could feel Draco’s eyes on her, but she refused to look at him on purpose. The prosecutor turned back to her, just as shocked as everybody else. "Snape and Moody were a direct threat to me and his child. Draco was only trying to protect me, to protect his family. He might’ve killed his parents, but he had no choice. All he wanted was to start anew. And all I’m asking id for you to give him that chance."
