Maternity Robes

AN: I came up with the idea for this a while ago, but my busy mind never had time to elaborate on it. But, I was hit with a
cold and I started thinking about this little plot bunny. I'm starting to think that germs give you creative inspiration.

It was a regular day at Hogwarts, all the students were eating breakfast and chatting about their classes when the mail
came.

How suddenly this day would change just because of the mail.

A now 7th year Hermione Granger picked up her copy of the Daily Prophet and began to read it while munching on her cereal.

That was before she dropped her spoon in shock from what was on the front page.

"What is it Hermione? Did house elves declare independence?" Ron asked sarcastically.

"Ron, look at this. Maybe you too Harry.........." Hermione said in a rather shaky voice.

Both boys mouths dropped open in horror as they read the headline:

"You-know-who places curse - men are pregnant!"

"Yes ladies, and especially gentlemen, it has been confirmed. The curse that had been testified by You-Know-Who's former
Death Eater, Nott, was confirmed to have been making men pregnant.

Several men admitted into a nearby hospital in Hogsmeade were given all sorts of tests and scans, but nothing appeared
wrong with them. Later on, urine tests determined that each man was indeed - pregnant.

Medical wizards believe that the curse was placed on January 17th, so any man who believes he was having intercourse on
January 17th should seek medical attention and have tests done immediately."

Ron and Harry immediately started racking their brains for what they were doing on January 17th. Hermione bit her lip.

Suddenly, Harry started crying hysterically.

"Harry, aren't you the good little virgin hero?" Hermione asked.

"It was Gin-Ginny! She pressured-ed me! I thought I did-didn't have a choice........." Harry said between sobs.

Ron was still in shock at this point and didn't realize that Harry was talking about his little sister.

Draco, who had obviously heard the news, turned as white as the milk in his cereal and proceeded to run out of the Great
Hall with one hand clamped over his mouth, fighting back the urge to vomit.

Fred and George seemed to be going into hysterics - they were being serious for once.

Snape on the other hand, began to sweat, looking around nervously, hoping that no-one would suspect that he of all people, was pregnant.

Dumbledore stood up and proceeded to speak:

"Any male who believes he is pregnant, please report to my office immediately".

~*~

6 anxious males stood at the stone gargoyle, waiting for Dumbledore: Harry, Ron, Draco, Fred, George and Snape.

A swishing of heavy robes indicated that Dumbledore was approaching his office with a rather amused smile on his face as he
walked past the 6 and said the password:

"Sugar Quill"

From there, the 7 males went up the sweeping, revolving staircase and through the great oak doors and into Dumbledore's
circular office. Dumbledore, siting in a winged armchair behind an oak desk, began to speak.

"Well gentlemen, it seems we have quite a fix here. You all, seemingly lost your virginity on a very unlucky night, no
matter how lucky you got. Now, we don't know for sure if you are all pregnant, so we will need to take a urine sample for
Madam Pomfrey to examine for pregnancy." Dumbledore said with a hint of an amused tone.

Draco raised his hand.

"Yes Mister Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked.

"Would taking a urine sample involve - peeing in a cup?" Draco asked with a bit of queasiness.

"Yes, Mister Malfoy, it does. Is this a problem?"

"Er - no. Do you have a bathroom I can use?"

"Right through those doors"

With that, Draco ran at top speed to the bathroom to vomit what was left of his breakfast.

"Well, I'll go over a few procedures. Let's assume that you are all pregnant for a moment. You will be housing together in a
separate dorm to the left of the astronomy tower, the house elves will bring your belongings there, you will go to classes
but then return to your private dorm, you will all eat together at a separate table in the great hall, and aside from
bringing a new life into the world, you will all learn to get along and tolerate eath other."

The jaws of the five males that weren't throwing up dropped to the floor. Draco continued to vomit.

"We have to live together??" Harry repeated in astonishment.

"Yes. It's high time that you all learned to treat each other civilly. This is the perfect occasion to teach you all how to
respect your fellow man." Said Dumbledore.

Madam Pomfrey came through the door a few seconds later - cutting off George - and carrying a tray of small plastic cups
with lids.

"Ah! Madam Pomfrey m'dear. Would you be so kind as to direct these gentlemen in the restroom for their urine tests? It
appears that young Mr. Malfoy is already there." Dumbledore said in a cheery tone.

"Of course, Dumbledore. You lads, follow me to the washroom." Pomfrey directed sternly.

The four males groaned and followed Madam Pomfrey.

"Well gentlemen, we have the results of your tests." Dumbledore told the six anxious males.

"Well, what's the........verdict?!" Fred asked impatiently.

"You're all pregnant." Dumbledore said with a smile.

All of the men's eyes went as wide as dinner plates. Oh, and that noise? It was Ron fainting.

"This is so the beginning of Hell......" Harry mumbled.

"What am I going to do? I can't be stuck with these twits for 9 months......" Snape groaned.

"Great. No more prank pulling for 9 months......" Fred mused.

"Great. We have to be civil to those Slytherin idiots for 9 months......." George moaned.

"I gotta puke........" Draco muttered.

Ron lay unconscious on the floor. Harry was right. This was so the beginning of hell.........
