Disclaimer: I don't own the characters mentioned in the following story but I do own Richard Granger.

Chapter 1 - Revelations
Tears filled those chocolate brown eyes, her worst fears had been confirmed, she, Hermione Elizabeth Granger was pregnant. Madame Pomphrey had broken the news after doing the spell nine times, it was hard to believe that the brightest student had landed herself in such a position.
"Well Miss Granger," Madame Pomphrey addressed her sternly, bringing Hermione from her thoughts, "I shall have to inform the Headmaster of this, of this..situation."
With that the medi-witch disappeared before Hermione could nod in agreement. She poked her stomach with her index finger, she had been feeling ill for the past week, throwing up on occasions, it was when the problem didn't hesitate to stop she thought that she had better have a check up at the infirmary. Now, she was officially pregnant. It was then the thought hit Hermione as she sat patiently waiting for the medi-witch to return with the headmaster, 'It takes two to tango.'
If only she had come to Madame Pomphrey before hand then maybe none of this would have happened and she wouldn't be dreaming about whether it would be a boy or a girl - if she decided to keep the baby. But how was she supposed to know, she didn't exactly plan to conceive a child, so it wasn't entirely her fault, was it? The father, Hermione wasn't sure what to do, to be honest - she didn't even know how, perhaps she had too much pumpkin juice or something silly like that. Still, either way Harry would have to know.
Albus Dumbledore arrived, followed by a frowning Madame Pomphrey.
"While I speak with Miss Granger, would you get Severus, please Poppy," Albus asked kindly, Madame Pomphrey seemed to frown a little harder but a moment later she had disappeared in search of the Potions Master. Dumbledore moved swiftly across the room, eventually ending up next to Hermione.
"Miss Granger," Dumbledore said, "would you like to tell me or would you rather have some rest?" Taking her eyes off her shaking hand she looked to the Headmaster like she could trust him with her deepest secrets.
"I honestly don't mind," Hermione stated, trying to be like her normal level-headed self, "but perhaps the sooner, the better."
Dumbledore nodded, twinkling his eye at her, she gulped, " very wise choice Miss Granger." It was then the second last person she wanted around (Harry being the first), came in, Severus Snape. Hermione looked away as the Professor strode over, using the robe billowing effect.
"Albus, some of us have the whole day, the fact is I don't, so make it quick," Snape glared at Dumbledore.
"Ah yes, you know the 'velexio potion', it may need brewing and you know how long it takes to mature?" Dumbledore questioned. Snape looked at Hermione and then back to Dumbledore, his lip curving slightly upwards.
"Of course I know, it takes a week to mature or 168 hours exactly, what is needed with it?" he asked. Dumbledore for once slightly frowned at Snape, Snape naturally frowned back, but soon broke the frowning by stalking off back to his office.
"The velexio potion, is one that causes a miscarriage, if you don't want this baby then you may abort the pregnancy, however you could keep the baby if you wish," Dumbledore said, trying to be helpful to a lost Hermione.
"Perhaps the father should know and help towards making the decision, how long do we have, Professor?" Hermione asked, she was still in shock and was sure that Professor Snape knew of her current condition, which didn't help her one little bit.
"A week," Dumbledore answered, "by then the velexio will be ready to drink, and you have to do it within 24 hours of being mature, otherwise it will be too late and another velexio would have to be brewed, making it more risky for you, Miss Granger." Hermione fell into thought again, she would be graduating from Hogwarts in a week exactly, so the pregnancy wouldn't interfere at all with her education. But a child would cause some serious changes to her life. Hermione was going to go to a University specializing in Potions, Alchemistry and Charms, she would have to re-think if she was going to bring a child into the world and then there was Harry, sweet, young and charming Harry. Hermione's best friend and father to the tiny fetus growing inside her, did he want a baby? She had never asked him about kids, whether he wanted to be a father when he grew up, it had never crossed her mind to ask him. Would he even have time to bring up their child? Harry had high hopes of becoming an International Quidditch star, or even an auror - he had finally gotten the NEWTS that he needed to become one. Was he ready to be a father, when he had so much ahead of him? Hermione didn't think he really was ready, she knew Harry, she was his best friend along with Ron.
"Miss Granger?" Dumbledore brought her back from thought, "maybe you should talk to him." He smiled as she watched Dumbledore with absolute shock, surely he couldn't read minds.
"No Miss Granger, your face clearly tells me all," he chuckled and she tried to smile a little.
