Easter Time at the Burrow

This is the sequel to Christmas time at the Burrow. Really I never expected it to become such a hit. I have almost 30+ reviews on it and over 2000 hits! I feel so happy. I have so many little people who like my stories. I think I have something in my eye -sniff- you guys are the best readers an author could hope for.

Anyways the problem with having so many fics in progress is the fact that you have to keep updating them. So if I don't update for a while it is because I am writing about five chapters at a time so you will have your hands full and don't do a classic mob on me, for having you wait for like a week for only one chapter for say, the Random Adventures of Fenir Greyback (by Joefish, non-registered Fish Animagis Writer). So please if I make you fed up, please do not remove me from your favourites and sharpen your pitchforks. I will update, like I am on this particular fic.

Summery: Right now Ron and Hermione are about to get married and Hermione has found out some lovely news.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, otherwise the story would be very messed up.

(AN: for anyone who cares, the OoO divider is because it looks like bubbly pearls)

OoOoOoOoOoO

Easter a rather beautiful time. The springtime blooms have popped up and everyone is rather happy about things like chocolate. Hermione in fact has eaten 12 bars in the last three hours. She had wondered what brought on this sudden urge of sweets. If she kept eating all this, she would never fit into her wedding dress.

The wedding was three days away and it was to be perfect. Ginny was to be the maid of honour, Luna was a bridesmaid. And Harry was Ron's best man. Neville would escort Hermione up the aisle as her parents where still in Australia and could not make it for the wedding. Ron had organized magnificent catering by his mum and Hermione had already gotten a peek at the cake but more on that later. Back to Hermione and her new chocolate addiction.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked Ginny as Ginny was trying to refit the blue and white wedding gown on Hermione. "I'm not fat, but I can't fit properly into the gown. And I've suddenly become addicted to chocolate."

Ginny stuck a pin in the hem of the gown, "I really don't know, but I do know that I'm going to get blood all over your gown if I don't use magic." Ginny flicked her wand and the needle started re-sewing the gown all by itself.

Hermione groaned, "I just don't understand!"
Ginny shrugged, "Maybe if you don't eat so much chocolate the dress might fit better."

Hermione looked down at her straining bodice and sighed, "Maybe you're right Ginny. But the fact I can't stop eating chocolate is more the problem."

Ginny simply said, "Well if you stay away from chocolate it won't be so bad."

Hermione was frustrated, "But it's almost Easter! Mrs. Weasley will be making chocolate treats like crazy!"

Ginny put her hand on Hermione's shoulder, "I'll help you stay away from the kitchen. I will make it my duty to keep you away from chocolate!"

Hermione gave Ginny a big hug, "Thanks."

Then Luna walked in carrying a big bunch of gold and blue lilies. Once again she was wearing those crazy spectrespecs and radish earrings. Nothing Ginny or Hermione said could get Luna to take them off for the wedding so they had to work around it.

"Hello," said Luna in her dreamy, far-away voice, "How are you all doing?" The girls mumbled "fine." Luna held up the lilies, "I have the flowers."

Hermione reached out to take them and the three girls heard a rip. "No!" Hermione exclaimed, as she examined the large tear in her bodice around her waist area. "Ginny had just sewn it up!"

Luna inspected the tear and Hermione's waist. "Hermione, are you aware that you have gotten profusely bigger in your waist area?"

Hermione crossed her arms over her chest and muttered, "Yes. Please don't bring it up."

Ginny looked at her poor sister-in-law to be, and then turned to Luna, "Hermione has suffered from a severe chocolate addiction."

Luna frowned and examined Hermione's sleeves. "I don't think so," Luna told the other girls. "If it was chocolate, the fat would go and distribute itself all over the body. Not just on the front of the waist. More specially the abdomen."

Ginny was puzzled, "First of all, how do you know all this? And secondly, what are you getting at Luna?"

Luna said calmly, "I do read and, well, what I am getting at is that by the position of the enlargement and the excessive eating, I determine that Hermione is going to have a baby."

The silence was so instantiations and still, that you could literally hear a pin drop. Which did happen when Ginny dropped the pins she was holding. Hermione stared at Luna, Ginny stared at Hermione, and Luna stared at herself in the mirror.

"I'm WHAT?!" Hermione finally shrieked, breaking the silence.

Luna straightened up her hair, still as serene and unmoved as usual and said, "You're going to have a child. It is obvious for anyone who has studied it."

Ginny raised one eyebrow, "Oh and you've studied how babies are made?"

Luna nodded, "I'm going into healing and so I'm taking courses on it. One of them is midwife skills."

Hermione had collapsed into chair, "If Luna's studied it, not just got information from her father, then… Oh my god!"

Ginny then asked Luna, "So how long until Hermione has a kid?"

Luna replied, "I can't say for certain, It all depends on when Hermione and Ronald…" Luna stopped when Hermione turned bright red. "Well you know what I mean."

Ginny nodded slowly then turned to Hermione, "When?"

Hermione blushed and hid her face in her hands, "Valentine's day."

Luna smiled, "In four months you'll have a child."

Ginny looked utterly astounded, "Wow. I'm going to be an aunt."

Hermione then said quietly, "How am I going to tell Ron?"

The girls hadn't thought of that. Ginny put her hand on Hermione's head and stroked her hair, "It's going to be alright. But first we need to fix this dress, otherwise the whole audience at the wedding will know."

Hermione nodded and let Ginny transform the tight fitting gown into a loose fitting dress that dropped straight down like a robe. Except it still resembled an elegant gown and hid the growing mound on Hermione.

Luna then helped Hermione change back into regular clothes because the poor brunette was still shaking uncontrollably. Luna led Hermione downstairs, "Don't worry, Ginny and I are here. Don't forget I'm almost a fully qualified healer."

Hermione felt little better and asked Ginny, "I should tell Ron but not now. Could you distract him and the other boys for about an hour so I can figure out what to do?"

Ginny grinned, "I needed a little Quittich practise." Luna and Hermione giggled, Boys and Quittich (or Ginny in this case).

Luna and Hermione could hear the whoops and chanting of, "Quittich, Quittich, Quittich!" from outside. That would keep them occupied for a while.

The house was empty except for the two girls. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley where out at Diagon Alley buying golden icing and chocolate for Easter. And all the boys (including Charlie, who was here for the wedding with his girlfriend Veronica) were playing Quittich. Luna ran off into the kitchen and got two cups of tea for them and a couple extra pillows for Hermione. "You need to stay comfortable!"

So the two sipped their tea while trying to figure out how to tell Ron.

"You could tell him right now." Luna suggested.

Hermione shook her head, "No way."

"How about singing it to him during the wedding?"

"No then everyone will know."

"How about telling him when he's so distracted on your honeymoon? He'll be so in love with you he won't care."

"That's brilliant Luna!" Hermione said, excited, "That's the perfect way to tell Ron I'm having a baby!"

It was at that unfortunate moment that Bill, Fleur and Victorice had to walk in.

Hermione turned a really deep red and had a look of shock on her face. She sat down on the couch and was just dumbstruck. Luna sipped her tea looking amused.

Bill crossed his arms, "Well I thought I'd never see the day. Shy Hermione with my littlest bro and they actually did something."

Fleur picked up the little toddler and told Victorice, "Do you 'ear zat, Victorice? You vill 'ave a lettle cousin!" Fleur looked extremely pleased.

Hermione got a pleading look on her face and told them, "Please don't tell Ron. I don't want to tell him to just yet."

Bill did a zipper motion across him mouth, "My lips are sealed."

Fleur agreed, "Eet vill be a vonderful surpirze!"

Hermione thanked them and invited them to sit down.

"So what are you going to call the baby?" Luna asked.

Hermione thought, "I don't know, I was thinking Rose for a girl but I'm not sure for a boy."

"How about Hugo? We have an Uncle Hugo that Ron really seemed to like." Bill suggested.

"That seems like a very nice name," Hermione said.

Fleur then stood up, "Vhere eez everyone?"

"Playing Quittich." Luna supplied.

Victorice immediately tore off in search of them. All the way shouting, "Broomies! Broomies!" Fleur chased after the two year old, trying in vain to get her back.

Hermione laughed at the amusing scene, secretly hoping not all children were this much work.
