No this couldn't be true. Shaking her head she ran from her room. Being head girl she had her own room and didn't have to worry about people looking at her. She ran through the halls trying to get away. This couldn't be true. If it was her whole life was a lie. Running Hermione didn't see 4 men walking her way. She pushed past them and out the doors onto the grounds. "HERMIONE." She didn't stop but carried on running away. She went to the lake and dropped down onto her hands and knees crying. They'd all lied to her. She wasn't even a muggle-born but that was if it was true. Hermione knew it had to be.
They were to make a potion that told you what your fathers name was and she had just finished it and wanted to try it out. Instead of Paul Granger it had said another name. She heard running coming her way. Looking she saw Harry, Ron, Remus and Sirius coming her way. Harry dropped down next to her and pulled her into his arms. She curled up in his arms and cried her heart out.
"'mione what's wrong?" The others were now kneeling down beside them. Harry and Hermione had begun to go out over the summer. They had just worked out why they felt more then just close friends. "You can tell us 'mione. Please."
"I...I was doing...my potions...home...homework and...he's not...my father..." She cried out still trying to work out how this could happen. Her mother and father had never lied to her about anything. Harry was looking confused. Sirius and Remus asked Ron what they were meant to do for their homework and gasped when they worked it out.
"Hermione are you saying that Mr Granger isn't your father?" She nodded into Harry's chest. "Do you know who is?" She nodded again. "Will you tell us?" She shook her head this time. If she told them they'd call her a lira. "Please we could get you to meet him."
"I've...met him..." They frowned and looked from one to the other.
"Is it anyone that is on the dark side?" Sirius got a hand hitting him on the head for that. Hermione had calmed down and looked at them.
"No, he's part of the order." She couldn't look any of them in the eye fearing they would see what she saw.
"Will you please tell 'mione. We could always confront him if you like; I mean he can't be that bad, well not as bad as Snape. Its not Snape is it?" She gave a shaky laugh and shook her head. Sirius then went stiff. She looked at him and saw that he must have worked it out. Yes he was her real father. He looked down at her and saw that he was right.
"Let's get you back into the castle. It'll be warmer there then out here in the snow." They nodded and Harry helped her up. She smiled up at him and him at her. They walked back with their arms around each other. Remus walked with Sirius and saw the look of sorrow pass on his face.
"What's wrong Sirius?"
"It's her." Remus had to ask what he meant before knowing what was going on. "She's mine and Peppers kid Moony. The one that she didn't want." He looked down at the floor as they walked back to the heads room.
"How can you be sure Pads? I mean I know that she's the right age and all but..."
"She looks like her and I saw it in her eyes. What do I say? I didn't even know until last year when Pepper died that I had a child never mind that she was right in front of me all this time." Remus patted him on the back and they tried to work out a way for him to speak to Hermione and tell her everything.
Hermione was trying to come to terms with it all. Sirius Black was her father. Did he know her mother? Or was her mother not her real mother? She did know one thing she'd have to find out. It was Christmas and she was going home for the holidays. She had packed her things the other day only leaving out the clothes she'd need. Hermione looked out the window of her room and saw Ron and Harry just coming back from Quidditch try outs. Dean had just come down with a head cold and wouldn't be able to play. She watched them meet up with Remus and Sirius before running back up for lunch. Harry was head boy but didn't take it as he should.
Giving a sigh she got her robes on and made her way down to the great hall. She sat with Harry and Ron but couldn't eat. Every time she looked at the plate she felt like bringing it all back up. In the end she pushed her plate away and just sat there thinking. She didn't feel the eyes on her from the teachers table. Sirius was worried about her. He hadn't had time to talk to her.
"Hermione are you ok?" She looked startled at first them smiled. Ron pushed her plate back to her and she looked at him. "You've got to eat ya know. No point in starving yourself." She smiled but didn't touch bother touching it. She felt her vomit coming up her throat and ran out the hall covering her mouth and into the first toilet. Harry got up and followed her. Ron being who he was grabbed some food and took off after them.
Sirius and Remus looked at each other before going after them as well.
She had just brought everything back up and more besides when the door opened. She stayed near the toilet just in case it wasn't all gone. Harry called out her name and got a low 'yes' in return. He came and sat next to her and got something to wipe off the vomit from her face. She was glad she had put her hair up today or it would be in her hair as well. The door opened again and three other people came in. Sirius saw her and Harry first and went to see if everything was ok.
" 'mione are you ok?"
"Yeah...just I don't know, one minute I'm fine and then this." Harry looked at her before helping her up. She washed her face and they took her to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey wouldn't let them stay with her and pulled curtains around the bed. They heard a gasp about 3 minutes later and suddenly Pomfrey came running out and into her office. Hermione didn't come out with her and Harry looked round at her. She had her eyes closed just lying there. He went over to her and found out that she had fainted but from what. She moaned in her sleep state but didn't open her eyes. Poppy came back and asked them to stand back why she gave her something.
She opened Hermione's mouth and poured something in before rubbing her throat to help her swallow it. Hermione gave a groan before opening her eyes to see greens one looking into hers. A smile appeared on her face and she brought him into a hug.
"Hermione what's going on?" Poppy gave a sad smile before telling her that she needed to tell him and soon.
"I'm...I'm pre...pregnant." She looked away from him. To say Harry was shocked would be an understatement. He looked down at her and suddenly everyone was laughing. She looked up and saw that he had the stupidest grin on his face. She laughed herself before she was pulled into a kiss that melted her heart. He looked down into her eyes when they stopped and smiled a smile that made her heart miss a beat.
"I love you." He said softly letting his forehead rest against hers. Someone cleared their throat and made them look up from each other. Sirius and Remus were grinning at them and gave Harry a slap on the back.
"You're as bad as your dad, but a lot smarter." They laughed but Hermione saw the doors close as someone walked out. She looked around and saw that Ron had gone. She wished that she could have loved him the way he loved her but she was in love with Harry. She sighed and watched as Harry tried to get out of one of Sirius's head locks. Remus joined her and smiled down at her. Poppy came back around and told her that she could go. Getting up slowly as her back hurt a bit they made their way out. What they didn't think was that they would face an angry Ginny Weasley. She gleared at Hermione and pulled Harry to one side.
Hermione looked at them and saw that Ginny was trying to get him back. Sirius held her back telling it would be ok. Remus also held her back but then she was let go as they all stood in shock. Ginny had just kissed Harry and he wasn't pulling away. Hermione gave a cry and ran off. Harry saw her and called after her. Ginny held onto him but he pushed her off before running as fast as his legs would go after Hermione. He wasn't about to lose her. NOT NOW NOT EVER.
