The doors of the Three Brooms Sticks burst open as Hermione ran in. She paused for only a moment as she scanned the room frantically for Harry. She spotted him sitting at a table with Sirius and Remus. No surprise there. This, was the weekend Harry usually had dinner with them. She reached the table at a dead run. "Hermione?" said Remus, startled

"H-Harry I," she gasped, "n-need to t-talk to y-you." she panted, and grabbed his arm and started dragging him over to a deserted corner. Harry shrugged helplessly at Sirius and Remus.

They watched as Harry rubbed Hermion's back as he waited for her to get her breath back. She got it and said something to Harry, obviously in a rush. Then, after a shocked moment, later- "WHAT! Holy Shit!" Remus and Sirius looked at each other startled; that sort of language, coming out of Harry's mouth.

Hermione opened her mouth to repeat her self. "No. Don't I heard you." Harry said quickly, "Do you know for sure?" He was looking her straight in the eye-nervously.

She nodded wordlessly pulling a small plastic bag from an inside cloak pocket. She held it out to him. He took it, looking inside cautiously. He pulled out a Muggle home pregnancy test. Turned it so that he could read the plus negative thing. Seeing the all-too-clear plus he put it back and pulled out various other pregnancy test things (Muggle and Magic) and a list of other sorts of test that she had taken and what their results were. There was also a list of signs a pregnant woman would experience and a check by the ones Hermine was experiencing. Numbly, Harry put the stuff back.

About that time, Ron came in. Seeing Harry and Hermione over in the corner having an obviously private conversation, he walked over to Sirius and Remus. "What's got her undies in a bunch?" he asked.

"No idea," Sirius said, "she just came in and hauled him off."

"Something surprising, I'll bet," Remus commented as he reached for his cup.

Ron gulped, "Why?"

"Well… Words like 'holy shit' don't normally come out of Harry's mouth. Do they?" Remus questioned.

"No…did he sound surprised or just mad?" Ron wanted to know.

"Surprised." Sirius looked at Ron like he thought he was missing something and he expected Ron to enlighten him on what it was. Ron however was looking over at Harry and Hermione, clearly wanting to know what was going on, muttering to himself. "She just got up…"

"I think you need to start from the beginning," Sirius said, "What was she doing?"

"Me and Hermione were in the library sitting at a table doing our home-work when she just stopped . And then her eyes got all wide and she just stood up all of a sudden and ran out of the library. She didn't answer me when I called her back and asked her what was wrong so I followed her. She shook me off. I couldn't find her for about an hour and a half. Of course after I gave up I remembered the map... I saw her running towards Hogsmeade. When I got onto the road I saw her come in here," he finished lamely.

"Harry. Harry. Are you all right?"

"Yah," he said breathlessly. "I'm all right. Oh God. I'm going… I got you…" he couldn't seem to finish his sentences.

There was a pause before- "Hermione how… I mean… Didn't…" Frustrated he took a breath and blurted, "How did you get pregnant? You didn't forget to do the charm. Did you? I'm-I'm going to be a DAD. I got you pregnant. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God."

"Harry, STOP!"

"Sorry."

"Harry, are you going to be all right?" She sounded nervous.

"Yah, I'm all right. It's just shock that's all." She let out a sigh of relief.

"Harry, I don't want to do this on my own." Immediately Harry opened his mouth to protest.

"I know Harry," she said simply. And for a few minutes they just stood there. Bodies silent and minds storming. Finally, tentatively Harry reached out to put his hand on her abdomen., he hesitated. Hermione smiled slightly. She took his hand placed it firmly on her abdomen. Hermione and Harry both felt a sort of settling in side. Neither said anything, unsure of the feeling. Unsure of the situation. They smiled nervously at each other.
