Chapter 1 A party for the girl with the big tummy

Hermione Granger sat quietly as she began to reminisce the past events of her life. She sighed in contentment as how her life had turned out. She had the perfect job as a lawyer, the great friends who was always supporting her, and of course, the undying love of her parents

The phone rang loudly and she picked it up hastily.

"Hello?"

"Oh my gosh!! Harry finally agreed to let the girls come over for my baby bridal shower!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT HERMIONE?? HE FINALLY AGREED!! EEEEK!!!" the voice on the other line screamed. Hermione felt her ears being screamed at continuously by a banshee.

"Ginny calm down!" she replied.

"How can I come down Hermione?? You know that I've been wanting Harry to approve of this!!" Ginny snapped.

"Don't forget Ginevra Weasley, you're a pregnant woman. Too much excitement might be bad for the baby!" Hermione nagged.

"Oh what do you know about babies Hermione?? You're not a doctor!" she said jokingly.

"Still!"

"Fine, fine…I get your point."

"So…when will be it?" Hermione asked.

"Well, a week from now."

"Really?"

"We're going to have dancers too! Courtesy of Lavender Brown!" she giggled.

Hermione just laughed at her friend's excitement.

"I heard that!" another voice rang in the receiver.

"Hi Harry!" Hermione greeted.

"No strippers Ginny! You know that!" Harry said playfully. "That is unless if I'm the one to strip. I'll do it for you for free if you're a good girl." He said slyly.

By then Hermione knew that the conversation would have to end soon. She began hearing snogging noises.

"Oh come on! You haven't even popped out that baby in your tummy and now you're making a new one!" Hermione laughed.

"Bye Hermione!"

After the call ended Hermione sighed. She felt envious of Ginny and Harry's relationship. They were so meant to be together ever since Hogwarts. There was no doubt she was happy for them, but she couldn't deny to herself that she too was longing to be loved.

'If only…' she thought. 'No! It would never happen! It was way too complicated to happen…it never would've worked out…' she added sadly.

'But what if it did??' an inner voice said.

'Then I probably made the worst mistake in my life.'

Hermione turned in for the night hoping that all her regrets of the past would go away. Little did she know it was just about to start coming back.

Ring

A man half-naked got up grouchily and threw the alarm clock across the room. Remembering that he had to work early that morning in order to get the next day off, he pushed the covers off of him, repaired the broken alarm clock and went inside the shower.

The bath he took wasn't that long. He came out of the bathroom just in time to answer the phone.

"Hello?" he said.

"Draco where are you?"

"Still at my house why??" Draco replied while dressing up.

"Dude, you better read the newspaper! You would love to see who's in the news today."

"Why Blaise? Who's in it?"

"Just look!"

Draco went to his living room and took the Daily Prophet in his hand. His eyes widened at the picture in front of him.

"First time lawyer wins the most controversial case of the year." Draco said.

"And who's the lawyer??" Blaise said slyly.

"Hermione Granger."

"Ginny! I told you! I'm really not up to shopping this time!" Hermione said for the thirtieth time that day.

"Come on 'Mione, at least reward yourself for winning the most controversial case! Which, remind you, you didn't tell me personally." Ginny said disapprovingly.

"But Ginny! I told you already…I forgot…it slipped off my mind." Hermione whined.

"Yeah, that now, then next time if ever you get pregnant I'll only be informed when that tummy of yours becomes bigger…you'll also say then that "it slipped off your mind"…" Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Come on Gin, I really am sorry for that…"

"Let's just at least buy you a dress for my bridal & baby shower."

"Fine…If I really must…" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"YEY!! Come one! They have new stocks at this store. I think they have clothes for pregnant women too!" she said excitedly pulling Hermione's hand in the process.

"Calm down woman! Too much excitement–"

"--Is bad for the baby. I know I know. You don't have to remind me all the time." She rolled her eyes. "Now let's go!"

The two went to Miranda's to buy new clothes and stuff. Ginny started pulling out every cute clothes she saw.

"Try this, and this…oh and that too…don't forget this." She started stacking the clothes on Hermione's hands that it became too tall enough to cover her sight.

"Ginny! I only have one body!" Hermione complained.

"Well, I only have one chance to dress you up! Who knows, you might never allow me to do this again!" she said. The two later on started trying the clothes.

Ginny was out first wearing a cute pink sleeveless preggy dress that was a bit low on the cleavage and long pajama pants. "Hey, what's taking you so long? Look at what I'm wearing. Really cute, probably get Harry–" Ginny stopped talking after seeing Hermione walk out of the dresser.

She was absolutely stunning! She wore a white Sunday dress that reached about an inch above her knees. IT was plain but it made her look like an angel.

"White really suits you Mione." Ginny smiled.

"Thanks." A small blush crept on her cheeks. "And I'm pretty sure Harry would be drooling all over you"

"Thank you." Come on let's buy these.

After buying the clothes they wanted they went to a restaurant and ate lunch. It was by 3 in the afternoon that they finally finished and decided to go back home.

Standing in front of her apartment door, Hermione struggled with her keys trying to find the right one. 'Damn it! Why did I have to have so many keys?!?'

'Well since you were really the private kind of woman and you didn't want people going through your stuff you had to buy tons of locks at your office!' an inner voice nagged.

The door clicked and she went inside. 'Finally! Merlin I'm so tired.'

She pressed the button to her answering machine and the messages started playing.

"You have 5 new messages."

"Message 1."

"Hey, Hermione, it's Sandra…I was just wondering if you'd like to have lunch tomorrow where we could discuss the matters of my divorce with Allen. Call me back to confirm."

"Yeah, like I'd ever. They know I don't go for lunches with depressed separated women!" Hermione said taking a can of coke out of her refrigerator.

"Message 2."

"Hey Mione! It's Ron, mum wanted me to invite you at the burrow for dinner on Friday. Dad said bring new muggle things that might interest him. Make sure you'd go okay? I'm going to introduce them Penny from work. See ya!"

"Ron, he never stopped dating and being such a playboy jerk ever since Pansy." Hermione rolled her eyes and sat at the couch.

"Message 3"

"What's up Hermione, it's Fred…distant voice and George! Well, we just wanted to remind you that the alarms that you ordered are ready and waiting to be picked up. Maybe you could take it home when you come visit on Friday. See you then."

'I forgot about those…oh well, I guess I really have to go on Friday.' She thought.

"Message 4"

"Hey Miss Granger, this is Mr. Johnson…Mrs. Sandra Sanchez' Husband's lawyer, I called to inform you that the hearing for properties will be Monday next week. I hope to hear from you if you had anything to confirm. The doors to my office are always open."

"Yeah, and you're just waiting for me to come in so that you could get laid." Hermione rolled her eyes and went to the bathroom where she could still hear the last message.

"Message 5."

She was starting to undress when she suddenly froze as she heard a voice she never thought she'd hear in years.

"Hey, Hermione…It's been long since we –uh, talked. I just called to umm…ask if how you've been the past years…and umm, I guess Ginny already told you that –uh I'll be at her wedding since Potter invited me. I don't know why either…Well, I guess I'll see you then…by the way, if by any chance you don't recognize my voice, it's…Draco Malfoy."

'Oh my god. After 7 years, he called.'

Hermione took a few moments to take in the whole message.

'Oh my god! And he's coming to Ginny's wedding!' she thought bewildered.
