Morning sickness

November

Ten Weeks

Harry Potter felt himself turned green again as his stomach gurgled.

'I cannot believe this! I haven't even eaten anything yet!' he thought angrily as he quickly sat up and grabbed the bucket he had next to his bed. Morning sickness was wreaking havoc on the boys. Hermione Granger on the other hand seemed fine and enjoyed giggling at their misfortune. Ron Weasley lay contorted in his bed across from Harrys', fast asleep and drooling. He was sleeping more than usual lately and that was saying something. When he was awake he was moody and had hardly spoken in last few weeks. Ron, like Harry was equally confused as to why Harry's name had come out of the Goblet of Fire. Was it distressing joke or an attempt on his life? Either way, Harry's pregnancy prevented him from competing. Which was a relief considering he would have been under oath had he not been able to forfeit claiming he was not medically fit and he was pretty sure Ron, would have never forgiven him.

Neville was nowhere to be seen this morning; he often made his way to the great hall for breakfast as soon as it was humanly possible to get his fix, of his new favourite meal. Kippers with marmalade. The potions professor had cancelled most of his morning classes for the foreseeable future. His mood was made worse by hormones and points went missing from the jewel counters at alarming rates, from every house. The head of Slytherin, no longer had mercy or favouritism for his own house. If you so much as looked at him wrong or dared to breath to loudly in his presence; "5 points!" . Likewise he had no patience for the visiting French or Bulgarian students.

Madame Pomfrey had hoped this small group were the only victims of the potions accident. However sadly, two more students came forward experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. Hermione had dragged her dorm-mates, to the hospital wing for testing. Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil had been sitting in front of Neville and herself, in the potions classroom that day.

"But surly we could have it 'taken care of'" Lavender made quotation marks with her fingers.

Parvati held her lower stomach protectively stunned at what her best friend was suggesting. She was clearly pro-life.

"I'm afraid not Lavender. Due to the usual nature of the conception there would likely be unforeseen side effects. It may cause serious harm, to yourselves or the baby should it not work properly and worse case, it may cause infertility." Madame Pomfrey frowned at the girls, helplessness in her eyes. "I'll inform Headmaster Dumbledore"

Lavender burst into tears and was lead from the hospital wing, held up by the armpits by Parvati and Hermione, as she continued wail.

"Come on now…" Hermione tried to settle her, struggling a little with the weight of her limp friend. "…Dumbledore is expecting us in his office" Much to Hermione relief this sobered Lavender somewhat and she stood more firmly on her own feet. Both Lavender and Parvati looked at her quizzically. Hermione took a deep breath and explained that Dumbledore had arranged a meeting with the parents of the various pregnant students. Lavender looked at her, with a mask of horror planted on her face. She had clearly still been coming to grips with the fact she was pregnant, let alone the huge undertaken it would be to explain this catastrophe to her parents. From horror, to dread, to determination Lavender's face change many times while she steeled herself. Hermione was relieved she did not start crying again.

When the trio reached the top of the golden stairway that lead to the Headmaster's office, they were meet with muffled shouting on the other side of the wooden doors. Hermione recognized Mrs Weasley loud angry voice. The girls gingerly opened the large doors and quietly stepped inside the room. They noticed Dumbledore's tables displaying his many knickknacks and whirring devices had be push to the outer walls of his office, to make room for the many angry parents and their uncomfortable and queasy looking fourteen year olds.

"How does something like this happen, Albus?" Neville Longbottom's Grandmother Augusta demanded angrily.

"It was an unfortunate accident, Mrs Longbottom…" Albus Dumbledore tried to subdue the crowd of angry parents. Raising his voice and his hands he said "…Please. I will be happy to explain the situation as soon as everyone has arrived. Would anyone like a lemon drop while we wait?" The quirky headmaster finished holding up a rumbled paper bag and smiling sweetly. No sooner had the group taken a small sour candy; did the fireplace burst into green flame again, startling Hermione's muggle parents Dr's Jean and Kyran Granger. Mrs Leila Brown, Mr Jaiveer and Mrs Suri Patil stepped out of the fire place moments after each other, brushing ash of their cloaks and surveying the room. They were just embracing their daughters when Poppy Pomfrey entered almost completing the company. Never had the Headmaster's office seen so many guests at one time. Finally Professor Snape arrived bringing the total to sixteen. Molly Weasley stood with Ron and Harry protectively under her arms and was the first to speak again.

"Can anything be done to 'stop' this Albus?" she asked gaining glares from some people in the room.

"I'm afraid not Molly…" Dumbledore answered and then beaconed to the medi-nurse. "…Poppy if you would be so kind as to explain to our guests, the situation."

"Certainly, Headmaster" She replied curtly stepping beside him, she addressed the restless crowd. She repeated what she had told Lavender in the hospital wing and added that the pregnancy would progress as a normal pregnancy would, excepting of course the boys whom would require C-Sections. Severus was asked to explain the situation in the classroom, he was kind enough to leave out the fact it was Neville's cauldron, probably at the Headmasters insistence. When the potions masters had finish the headmaster took a turn to speak.

"Now, I am aware you are within your rights as parents to remove your children from Hogwarts during their pregnancies…" Dumbledore had to pause while the parents all tried to speak all at once again. "…However…" He had to raise his voice. "…should you choose to leave them in school, they will be provided with the upmost neo-natal care, support and education in subjects of childbirth and parenting. Also as it is expected that the due date is not until early June, the students will be able to complete their fourth schooling year and attend the Tri-Wizard Tournament…" The crowd noise rose up again. "…Please. I remind you that your children have done nothing wrong and I ask you to be lenient on them. Thank you." He finished his speech indicating the meeting was over. Severus took this opportunity to flee, the parents and students left shortly after him all a little more informed.
