Rude Awakening

Chapter Fifteen:

A/N: Alright here's chapter fifteen. Now I've come to realize that people may be confused by the story, here, I'll try to make this as painless as possibly. Hermione is a Titan, second generation Titan, but a Titan none-the-less. When she is killed, which is the only way she has been dying so far, she has to wait at least five hundred years before she can be reborn into the mortal world. When she comes of age, meaning like whatever culture she is in, the age that they require you to be is the age that you be to learn of your true idenity. Harry come's into this because being the oldest of the Malfoy children, he knows everything about Hermione. All she has to do is ask the right questions and he can tell her, but in Hermione's current state of mind, she really doesn't grasp it yet. The whole vampire being alive thing and being pregnant is a weird situation that hasn't been informed to her yet, but she will be very soon. Draco, yes I bet you wondering "If this is a Draco and Hermione fic, then why the hell aren't they together yet, or even have remote feelings?" OK they do, but you would know that if you read, don't take that into any offense, just saying. Draco has been in love with her for awhile, explaining his weirdness. Hermione is starting to fall for him, but she's still having trouble understanding it, because on top of being pregnant, she has his heart in her body, which isn't good, and she is a Titan. You have no idea how hard it is to try to make you understand, I get it, but it's my story, plus I already know what's going to happen in this chapter.

But a lot of people have this on their lists and they aren't reviewing which makes me very, very sad vv!

oOoOo-Draco's POV-oOoOo

"Harry, what is this?" Hermione asked.

"This is where all of your pets are kept," Harry said. The door finally reached a halt. You couldn't see into it. But you could hear breathing. Deep breathing.

"Here, we are. This might help," Harry said. With a flick of his wand the light came on.

"OMG! It's-it's-it's . . . . ."

"It's beautiful!" Hermione said as she took in the site. Indeed it was very pretty. It was a huge beast. It had to be, Merlin knows how big. When we walked in, the ceiling rose at least another 8-10 feet and the room was bigger as well.

"Harry, how the hell is this thing kept like this, I mean, this has to reach into the house," I said looking up, we should be somewhere below the kitchen, I think.

"You know that hill back behind the house?" He asked as he looked at it. It was still slumbering, it had yet to wake up and eat us.

"Yeah," I said still trying to locate exactly where we were in reference to the house.

"Ok, well this is the hill," He said as he pointed to the ceiling. That made perfect sense, why I wasn't thinking that, I have no clue.

"Makes sense," I said.

"Well, do you want to wake it up?" Harry asked, walking over to a table that had to be, twenty feet long.

"Sure, how do I do it?" Hermione asked. She was still staring at it in awe.

"With this," Harry said as he pointed to the table.

"What, there isn't anything on the table," I said looking at it. Harry shook his head, and with another wave of his wand, the table top disappeared and you could see something really shiny in it. I mentally kicked myself in the ass.

"Draco, you of all people should know, not everything is as it seems," Harry said with a cocked eyebrow.

"Yeah, yeah I know," I said. Hermione walked over to it and stared.

"Now how the hell is this supposed to wake it up?" She asked looking at Harry with a cocked eyebrow. I walked over and stood behind Hermione. God she smelled so good. Then I looked at the rod. It looked like a huge steel bar with holes.

"My god, do I have to do everything? Do you know what this is by looking at it?" He asked. Then stopped and raised a hand before she could utter a word.

"You've seen dog whistles, have you not?" Harry asked. We both nodded. They were bloody hell annoying. Not only did dogs here it, but the magical creatures as well, and when one was blown, my god did it cause a huge problem for wizarding folk.

"Ok, this is basically what it is. It was made just for him," Harry said pointing as the huge massive dog. The dog kind-of reminded me of Fluffy back in our first year. But it didn't have three heads, just one. And it was bigger. Its fur was very beautiful. It was a shade of black I had never seen, and in this light it had a red tint to it.

Seeing the reaction on my face Harry knew exactly what I was thinking.

"You know how Hagrid said he got it?" Harry asked.

"No, not really, I can't remember," I said. It was the truth, I didn't really remember much from out first year, well except everything that happened in that year that had to do with the Dark Lord.

"Well, in all actuality, this is the father of it. He and Cerberus had a kid, and so Fluffy just kind of showed up at Hagrid's door step," Harry said with a shrug.

"Ok, so, how do we blow it?" Hermione asked looking it over.

"Oh for Merlin's sake!" Harry exclaimed. With another flick of his wand, wind just came out of no where. It was mainly just centered on the end of the thing, but it was hitting us. Harry stood firmly in place, while we, Hermione and I, held onto each other. We could hear some sort of noise coming from the direction we had just been in, and then we heard sort of a low growl. The wind had stopped and I looked down into Hermione's eyes.

She was so beautiful, and I couldn't help but get lost in her eyes.

"Um, Draco, you can let go of me now," she said. I could see a blush spread across her face.

"Yeah, right, sorry," I said as I helped bring her to her feet. I still couldn't take my eyes off of her. But then I did, as soon as a low growl started up again. We both looked over and both jumped back. The dog had his head like, ten feet from us as we stood there. The thing that got me was that it was looking at me. Growling at me!

"Good, doggie," I said as I started to back up. The dog looked from me to her, and then back at me.

"Yeah, and you can call me by my name if you don't mind," something said. I looked around.

"Oi! What the bloody hell was that!" I asked. Hermione was looking around to, until her eyes came back to settle on the dog.

"I think it was him," she said looking at its eyes. They were a big bright blue. It contrasted with its fur.

"Yeah, I did, now would you mind telling me why I am up. I don't wake up for anybody," he said as he growled into our faces. I jumped back as his breath hit us.

"Damn! Your breath stinks! When was the last time you had a tic-tac?" I asked trying my hardest not to gag.

"What is this tic-tac that you speak of boy? And what gives you the right to say such things to me?" He asked looking like he was going to pounce and rip all of my limbs off.

"I . . . well . . . you see. . ." I just kind-of stopped. Hermione was walking closer to it.

"You look so soft," she said. She was very close to it.

"Hermione, what the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" I asked trying to grab her and get her away from it.

"And besides, how long have I been sleeping for, what year is it?" He asked keeping his eyes on the girl who was coming up to touch his paw.

"It's 2006," I said.

"MY GODS! I have been asleep this whole time? Well where is she?" He asked. This time he turned his head slightly to Harry.

"Yes, I'm guessing, seeing as you are very smart, you just figured it's been a little over 500 years," Harry said with a nod, "and she, is right in front of you."

"Are you sure, the last one I remember, she was at least three times that size, and not in a pretty way if you know what I mean," he said as a growl came out. I think that was suppose to be his laugh, but I didn't find it very funny, I think he was still stuck in medieval times.

"Hey," she said. She was to his paw now and started to touch it.

"Why Merlin! This is the softest thing I have ever felt," she said, touching and poking at the fur. The fur was at least a foot thick, maybe even more! The next thing I knew, he was leaning down and smelling her.

"Awe, I see, no wonder you look so young. I should have known that you were going to be pregnant, seeing in the fact that most girls your age are," he said. I guess dogs' noses are really superior.

"If you were asleep, how did you know that?" I asked.

"Well, when she comes back, I have to know what's in this world. So the whole time I'm asleep I get to watch this world get worse," he said with distaste in his mouth. I couldn't blame him; I would too if I hadn't brushed my teeth in ages.

"Well, I shouldn't have been woken up for another year," he said looking at her. Seemed as though he was trying to decide whether to eat her now or later.

"Um, just curious, but what do you eat?" I asked. He looked at me then down at her.

"Meat," he said.

"Well duh! Oh no, I thought maybe you were a veggie," I said sarcastically. How stupid did he think I was?

"Anything that moves," he said a growl coming up from his throat.

"Alright, sheesh," I said. I gave up, this dog was nuts, "Hermione, Hermione where are you?"

"I'm right here, aren't these the biggest fleas you've ever seen?" She asked as she came out of the fur with this monster looking thing in her hand.

"OMG! Put that thing down!" I yelled.

"Don't worry, it's dead, they're all dead," she said looking at it some more.

"Well, if they're dead, then why are they still in the fur, you'd think it would have dried up and disappeared," I said.

"Those aren't fleas, they are just something that pops up out of his skin, they're kind-of like dead skin cells," Harry said as he took it from her. He walked over to a huge pile of them off to one side.

"It's true, he's right," the dog said.

"Ok, so what is you name?" I asked.

"It's Grim," he said, " I know you people have a myth about dogs they call grim, they are suppose to be ghost dogs or whatever, so don't get the names confused."

"Really, now, time to get down to business, I need to know everything about myself, since I hardly know anything as it is," Hermione said as she sat down in front of Grim and looked at him, waiting.

"You haven't been informed from the keeper?" Grim asked as he glared over at Harry.

"You see, she hasn't grasped the fact that she needed to ask the right questions, and in the right form, it was not my place to tell her so, so I waited," Harry said as he kneeled before Grim and gave his explanation.

"I see, so Hermione, what is it that you would like to know?" He asked. I walked over and stood behind Hermione. He looked at me with an expression that was unreadable.

"Why am I being informed of being a Titan just because I am pregnant?" She asked.

"For the simple fact that not only do you know, and your friends, but your enemies keep a watch out for you too, they watch your every move, hell they even watch as you have sex, feed, whatever you do, so they know, and when they find a chance they will kill you and who ever you love, not to mention anything that could be a threat like your twins," he said.

"I see that you have also been changed as well," he said looking at her pale skin.

"Yes, that I did of my own accord to use for, pleasure," she said ashamed to admit out loud.

"I know, I also know that you don't know who the father of your children is either," he said looking at me and then back at her.

"No, no I don't, do you?" She asked.

"Yes, yes I do. Would you like to know?" Grim asked.

"Well, might as well," Hermione said waving her hand.

"Draco . . . and this Blaise," he said. My mouth dropped open. I was glad to hear that they were mine, until I heard Blaise.

"You mean to tell me that I fathered one of the twins, while Blaise fathered the other?" I asked my mouth unwilling to close again.

"Yes. It seems that when you released the eggs, they both would have been fathered by Blaise, but one egg refused, it waited until you turned, then when you had sex with Draco, allowed his seed to unite with it. You, your body, everything is different from a human's body, your eggs, womb, whatever, actually do have the right to allow or deny certain seed to unite with each. So, you get the rest," he said looking at her with affection that he hadn't shown before.

"So, they will have different father's, but what about them? If one waited then will I have to wait longer for it to come into this world?" Hermione asked talking everything that he had said very well.

"It waited 'til after you turned, so with the new specimen, you could say, invading your body, it has actually sped the pregnancy up. You will have them in another day or two," he said.

"Will both babies be vampires?" She asked.

"No, just Draco's. They will take after their fathers'. One was just a wizard, the other a wizard and vampire. Both will be powerful because of what you are and because of their fathers'," Grim said looking at Hermione stomach.

"I see, now I have another question: Why am I still alive and not the living dead? Why is Draco alive and not the living dead?" She asked. This was the first time I had actually been thrown out into the spot light because of what I was.

"Because, Draco is a keeper in training you could say, we can't allow him to live longer than need be. So he will age like a normal human, but with a few extra abilities. You are alive because of who you are, a parasitic virus running through your veins couldn't do that to you, besides you are an immortal anyway, why would that change? And it seems that you have one other question, what is it my child?" Grim asked watching her carefully.

"How am I going to get Draco's heart out of my body?" She asked. I didn't expect that one, but I watched to see what he would say.

"That can be solved in the easiest of ways. Well, for Circe, she is your cousin, distant I think, but none-the-less still your cousin," He said.

"Really, well how can I get a hold of her?" She asked standing up.

"So simple. You wouldn't believe that things like this were so easy to us we didn't even have to ask, now your world is becoming more advanced in some things than we would have thought, but still so stupid," he shook his head and looked over at Harry. Harry nodded and with a flick of his wand the ceiling opened up.

"Get on," he said. Hermione and I climbed onto his back and he took off into the sky. There was no moon tonight so we were under the cover or the blackened sky. It was beautiful, but then something happened and we were being jerked around and the next thing I knew we were somewhere else, and it was so beautiful. I couldn't describe it.

"Welcome home Hermione," Grim said as we hit the ground. We stood up, and tons of people gathered around and either bowed or nodded in acceptance of us being there.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

a/n: ok, in the next chapter I will explain about there not being magic 500 hundred years ago. There was magic, but you'll see why there wasn't. Now I hope that cleared up a few things. And sorry this chapter took so long to get up, I had a virus on my computer and I didn't get it fixed until just last week. So I've been off line since like the beginning of last month. so sorry, and here the chapter is, and also, I might discontinue this story for a short period of time as well as Hanging Over The Edge, I need to redo it and get my plans for the story back in order, so yes, get enough reviews and you may see more chapters, but I do promise one more chapter for this story before/if I discontinue it. And sorry for any errors, please forgive me, I went through it, but I'm tired so yeah I might have missed some stuff.

Peace out
