Someday

Chapter One

May 10th, 2008

Hermione lifted weary eyes to the window and the owl that was tapping the glass just behind it. It was only a week since the final battle and she was exhausted. There were so many dead, so much damage. She still hadn't had time to come to terms with everything and her parents were still in Australia. With a sigh Hermione flicked her wrist and the window opened, letting in the brown barn owl who swooped in and landed on the arm of her chair. She untied the letter and opened it, ignoring the bird who looked rather frazzled.

Hermione, I need your help with something rather important. Please floo me immediately. Lavender.

Brow furrowed, Hermione got up and moved toward the fireplace. The last time she had seen Lavender had been during the final battle. A vampire was attacking her and she had run over, blasting the thing off her as she went. She had stayed only long enough to kill the vampire and make sure Lavender wasn't bitten and then had rejoined the battle. Hermione shook these thoughts from her head and grabbed the floo, shouting out the address and whirling away.

The place she found herself was a nice clean looking living room, the sort that could be found in most upper middle class suburban homes. She was a bit surprised by the normalcy and muggle-ness of it all until she remembered, a bit embarrassed, that Lavender was a half blood.

"Her-Hermione?" The voice was so meek and scared sounding that she immediately jerked her head around to stare with wide eyes at the source. Lavender was standing at the entry to the kitchen, her eyes red and puffy, her hair disheveled, and looking like her world had just ended.

"Lavender? What's wrong?" Hermione asked worriedly. She knew that Lavender wouldn't have asked for her unless it was really important. They had never been close and if all the girl needed was comfort over someone's death than she had other, closer friends to turn to. She walked over to stand in front of her, her eyes roving, looking for any physical evidence of her upset.

Lavender lowered her eyes, tears starting to fill them anew. "I'm sorry!" She gasped out, her hands flying up to cover her mouth. She took a shuddering breath and tried again. " I didn't know who else to go to. I- I mean…" Lavender chocked on her words, a sob escaping, and Hermione's eyes widened.

"Uh, Lavender." Hermione was confused, and uncertain how to handle this. She put her arm around the crying girl and led her to the sofa. "It's going to be ok. You just need to calm down a bit and tell me what's going on." Her mind was going a mile a minute, trying to figure out what could possibly be wrong and why in Merlin's name Lavender had asked for her of all people. She knew that after the war and the Battle of Hogwarts, things like petty rivalries weren't important, but she was flummoxed.

Lavender took a deep, shaky breath and gave her a watery grimace that she was sure was suppose to be a smile. "Sorry," She whispered. Wringing the tissue in her hands she looked at her lap and tried to explain. "At the- the battle, when you saved me from…from that vampire." She took another shaky breath and Hermione could tell this was difficult for her. She grabbed her hands and sent her a reassuring smile. Lavender's eyes quickly darted up to hers and back down again. With another breath she started again. "He raped me. And now I'm pregnant."

The words were said so quietly it took a minute to sink in. Hermione's eyes widened. Everything she had ever learned about vampires came to the forefront of her brain. How was it possible? Was it possible? She stared gob smacked at Lavender for about two seconds before her eyes darted down to her belly.

"I didn't know who else to go to. I wasn't sure if…" Lavender shuddered, "I wasn't sure what the mediwizards would d-do to me."

And all at once Hermione understood. Their world wasn't very accepting of most magical creatures and vampires were at the bottom of the list, right along side werewolves. Going to St. Mungo's was out, everyone knew they were under ministry control and had a zero tolerance policy. Madame Pompfry was tending the wounded from Hogwarts and there was no telling her stance on things either. Hermione however, was known for her support of the underdog, and for being the smartest witch of her age. If anyone was going to be able to help her and keep quiet… she could understand why Lavender contacted her.

While Hermione's brain was going into overdrive, coming up with plans, and spells, and more plans, Lavender was getting more and more nervous. "Say something please!"

Her eyes jerked over to see Lavender looking slightly panicked. "Oh! Lavender, I'm so sorry. I was just thinking. I didn't even know it was possible. I'm going to have to do some research, see if there is a safe way to deliver, or if you want, a safe way to terminate. Would you mind if I ran a diagnostic spell on you?"

Lavender nodded looking relieved and Hermione asked her to lie down on the couch while she performed the spells. While on the hunt for horcruxes, Hermione had read quite a few books on healing and knew all the proper spells to determine if a woman was pregnant and how far along she was, if the baby was healthy, what species and blood type they both were, how the mother was faring, and if there were any complications. Lavender watched wide-eyed as Hermione's wand flashed in complicated movements over her abdomen, glowing several different colors in quick succession. When her wand finally stopped moving, Lavender looked hopefully up at her.

"That's not possible." Hermione whispered. She tried a few spells again before huffing in frustration.

"What? What is it?" She could hear the desperation and oncoming panic in Lavender's voice as she sat up.

"The spell is saying you are much further along than possible. Is there any way you could have been pregnant before…" Her voice trailed off, not wanting to actually say it and risk upsetting her more. When Lavender shook her head, looking scared, Hermione sighed. "Alright then." She sat gently on the edge of the couch and turned a bit so she was looking directly into Lavender's eyes, "I am going to help you through this. But I need to do some research. I've never heard of something like this being possible before and I know next to nothing about the birthing process." She sighed and rubbed at her eyes a bit before standing up. "I need to go to Hogwarts for a bit but I'll be back tomorrow to let you know what I've found. Do you still have your DA coin?" When she saw her nod she smiled at her and continued, "Good. If anything changes, or something happens, use it to contact me." Hermione bent down and gave her a hug on impulse, "Don't worry, Lavender."

It was three days later that Hermione got her first lead. Three days of Lavender contacting her for every little thing from the baby kicking to her latest bout of sickness and how huge she was getting. Hermione was frustrated and irritated but she couldn't really blame her, which just ended up irritating her more.

She took a seat on a park bench and tried to ease the ache building behind her temples as she waited. It wasn't long before she heard a voice to her right and she abruptly stood.

"I hear you have been looking for me, witch."

A tall, emaciated man with dark shadows under his eyes stepped out of the shadows. Hermione tightened her grip on her wand.

"Yes. Do you know anything about half vampires?" Hermione wanted to keep as many details as she could out of the conversation. She eyed the vampire cautiously as he stepped closer.

"I do."

Narrowing her eyes, she held back her growl of irritation, "And would you tell me what you know?"

Sanguini, who previously had looked bored with the conversation, smiled. "That depends. What are you willing to give me in return?"

Hermione sneered as his gaze lingered on her neck. "Your life." While normally not one for violence, Hermione didn't have the time for his games and she wasn't about to let him drink from her. She knew he was far from innocent, with a penchant for young girls, and had no qualms using threats to get her way in this matter.

The vampire laughed as he considered her. "I have heard of you, Hermione Granger. Of your brilliance and your compassion. I have also heard mere whispers of your viciousness. Regardless, what makes you think you can kill me?" He leaned against a tree and looked amused at her claim as he waited for an answer.

She merely lifted a brow at him and smirked. Before he could blink a ring of fire appeared around him and when he tried to jump, grew up to encase the entire tree in a cage before he even got to the second branch. He growled at her and landed back on the ground in a crouch. "You little bitch!" He snarled.

"You did say you had heard of me. I'm curious as to what you heard if you didn't expect something like this?" She tried to keep her voice neutral instead of smug.

"The Cullens!"He spat out. "You'll want to talk to them." Hermione listened as he told her where they lived and about the human that gave birth to a half vampire baby before making the change herself. As she turned to leave he called out to her. "Are you just going to leave me like this?!"

"Oh. The cage will dissipate as soon as I leave." She said over her shoulder before dissapparating back to Lavender's house.

"Hermione!" Lavender rushed up to her as fast as she could. "How did it go? What did he say? Did he have any answers?"

Hermione caught her by the arms and tried to steady herself. "One at a time!" She interrupted. "I got the information we need. There is a coven across the pond that can help us. One of their members is a vampire, Bella, who gave birth to a half vampire about two years ago when she was still human."

Lavender slowly grinned in relief. "When do we leave?"

"Why are we flying on a plane?" The whine in Lavender's voice grated on Hermione's nerves as she once again restrained the growl that threatened to come out of her throat.

"Because," she bit out, "you can not floo or apparate in your condition. And it would have taken too long to get a portkey with the ministry still dealing with the aftermath of the war." Honestly she should be thankful the twit even knew what a plane was. Getting through the Heathrow Airport could have been a much more horrifying experience. "Now, it's best if you just put the headphones on and try to relax. We have an eight hour flight ahead of us." Hermione failed to mention that after the eight hour flight was a three hour layover in Chicago followed by another five hour flight and to top it all off they would be arriving at their destination at 3:30 even though it was already 7:30 here in London. She shook her head as she was reminded of using the time turner, and tried to relax herself.

It was sixteen hours later that a knackered looking Hermione and Lavender stepped out of the SEA-TAC airport to find a cab and a decent enough hotel to zonk out in.

Disclaimer #2

RedPhoenix13 gave me the idea of Lavender's pregnancy from her story Witchy, Witchy Wolf, wherein Luna becomes pregnant in the same manner. I thought the idea was a perfect way to introduce the two fictions and she gave me her permission to use it.

Authors Notes:

I haven't written anything seriously in a VERY long time so please bare with me. I am also not British so if you see any cultural mistakes, please let me know.

I have a bit of a pet peeve with getting my facts straight. I realize that goes against the point of fan fiction but I try to keep as close to the original as I can with believable and/or explained differences. SO with that said, I just wanted to let everyone know that I've moved the HP timeline up by ten years so it fits in better with the Twilight timeline. And for the record, Hermione did save Lavender from an attack at the final battle, but it was from Grayback in the books.

Please let me know how you like the story and if you have any suggestions or ideas of where you would like to see this go. I'm going to be focusing mainly on Hermione and I have a basic outline that will probably get warped as I write anyway :)
