Chapter 3

Going Back to Hogwarts

It had been nearly two weeks since the engagement of Harry and Ginny and it was almost time to go back to Hogwarts. Hermione was now at the Med Wizard's office trying to figure out what was wrong with her. She had been sick for as nearly as long as Ginny had been and was scared she too was pregnant. "Well Miss Granger congratulations you are one and one half months pregnant." "Oh shit now what am I going to do Ron will kill me we aren't ready to have a baby" Hermione thought to herself as she left the office. Meanwhile back at the Burrow the post had delivered the annual Hogwarts letters for the remaining four people who were still going to the school.

Dear Mr. Harold James Michael Potter

We would also like to extend our congratulations to you and to Miss Ginny Weasley on your impending wedding and birth of your first child. We would like to inform you and her that due to the circumstances you and her shall be sharing the Head Boy's room since you have been chosen head boy and she is the Griffyndor girl prefect.

"This is great I can't believe that they are allowing us to live together at Hogwarts." Harry thought to himself before he decided it was time to go wake up his fiancé so they could go shopping in Diagon Alley. Harry climbed the stairs to the landing where him and Ginny were sharing a room and look in on his beautiful wife to be. "She is so beautiful how did I land the most beautiful woman in the world." Harry said to himself. Harry climbed into the bed and nuzzled Ginny's neck until she began to regain conscience. "Hi baby" she said hoarsely the effect of sleep still in her voice. "Hi Honey it is time to wake so we can go to Dagon Alley so we can do some shopping for the baby." "Okay let me take a shower and I will be down in a second okay honey." Okay Gin I will be downstairs if you need anything." Harry said as he beamed towards his fiancé. "Harry would you make some lunch please?" Sure baby what do you want to eat." "Uh just some eggs toast ham and sausage if possible." "Gees a little hungry huh Ginny." Harry said in mocked astonishment. "Yeah you try eating for two people." "Okay baby I will go down and make some breakfast I will see you in a minute as he grabbed Ginny around the hips for a soul shattering kiss. Ginny broke apart only because she knew that if she didn't they wouldn't get anything done. "Go on silly boy." "Yes ma'am" Harry said as he saluted her. As Harry was descending the stairs he heard what sounded like crying coming from the kitchen. Harry walked in to see Hermione sitting at the table balling her eyes out. "Mione what's wrong?" Harry asked his cousin as he sat down beside her. "Harry!" she said astonished she had figured that everybody had been gone. "Oh everything is so screwed up Harry I went to the Med Wizard today and he told me I am three months pregnant." "Mione this is great Ron will be thrilled and so will Molly and Arthur." "Harry I am not ready to have a child I cant do that and go to school and worry about everything else. And how do you know that Ron will accept this I mean just because Ginny did doesn't mean her brother is going to be the same way." "Mione I know you don't mean that I know that you love Ron an you have never been happier in your life and you know that." "Yeah but I am just worried about this I mean we knew this could happen because we weren't really that careful but we didn't expect all of this." "Hermione look I am here for you if you need me what is family for. You want to come to Diagon Alley with me and Ginny today?" "You sure she wont mind Harry?" "No Mione she treats you like a sister and she would love to have you along. Okay so come on dry your eyes and go get dressed and we will go, and make sure you tell Ginny." "Okay Harry Thank You very much I love you very much." Harry, Ginny and Hermione spent nearly six hours in Diagon Alley buying their books and supplies for their year at Hogwarts and numerous items for their respective children. Harry who was rich beyond his wildest dreams since his parents had died had decided as a present to the Weasley's he would pay for Ginny's last two years in school because money had always been tight with the family since it had eight kids and they had all attended Hogwarts. "Hey guys I will meet you in about thirty minutes at the juice bar. I need to go get something real quick." Harry said as he smiled at his cousin and his fiancé. "Have you decided how to tell Ron and the family that you are pregnant Mione."? "Not really I am very scared to tell them Gin I mean what will they think of me I mean I just didn't use the charm when I should have. We honestly forgot we got to hot and heavy and we just didn't think about it." "And you think they are going to hate you because of that it wasn't just your fault it was Ron too he should have remembered to put the spell on. My God Mione they have loved you since the first day they met you and they will love you forever and that goes for Ron to." Ginny told her soon to be cousin in law.

"Hey guys." Harry called as he came up from the last store he visited. Behind him was a tall slender witch with brown hair and some of the deepest blue eyes Ginny had seen. She was immediately threatened by this woman's presence. "Guys this is Julie Deathmon she is our wedding planner. "Wedding Planner you hired a wedding planner to plan our wedding. Oh Harry that is so great I cant believe you did this." "There is nothing too good for my baby you know that." Harry said as Ginny blushed furiously and while Hermione smiled at him.

Back at the Burrow Harry and Ron were cooking a dinner for the family because it was their turn. Harry had been invited to live at the Burrow soon after his fifth year began after the Dursley's refused to let him live there anymore due to their infuriating hatred towards magic. "Harry do you know what is wrong with Hermione she has not been herself lately she seems distant and will hardly talk to me and I am scared she is about to break up with me." Ron asked his best friend. "Ron believe me she is not about to break up with you she loves you very much and to be honest she would be a fool if she did. If I had to choice anyone for my cousin to be with it would be you." "Thanks mate same goes for me with my sister." Harry set the table and began to set dinner up for the six people who would be eating. Tonight was going to be the night that Mione was going to tell Ron, Arthur and Molly about her pregnancy. "Okay guys come and get it." Harry called to the family. The table soon filled and the small chitchat began as all of them began to eat. Hermione couldn't keep her eyes off Ron. She had been a major pain in the ass to him and had regretted every second of it, but she knew it was probably hormones. She looked over at Harry and got his nod assuring everything was all right and then she decided to say it. "Excuse me. I have announcement and I need to let everybody know about it." Hermione stated as tears began to fill her eyes. "Ron remember about three months ago when we forgot to use the charms." "Yeah I think so why?" "Well baby I am going to be a mother. I found out today that I am three months pregnant." Mione said as she began to cry. "Hermione this is great you are telling me I am going to be a father. You're not kidding are you."? "No I am not kidding you are going to be a daddy." "YES! THIS IS SO GREAT!" Ron screamed as he went over to the other side of the table and lifted Hermione into his arms. "Honey I am so happy. Thank you for making me a father." "Thank you for making me a mother." Hermione said as Ron sat her back down. "Congratulations you two. We are so very happy for you all." Mr. Weasley said to his son and his daughter. "Now I think it is time for what you were going to do Ron." Harry said. "Right you are bro." Ron got down on one knee and looked deep into Hermione's eyes. "Hermione Ann Margaret Samantha Granger will make me the happiest man in the world and marry me." "YES RON I WILL MARRY YOU!" Hermione exclaimed as she jumped into his arms. The next day an owl post was delivered to the Burrow with Ron and Hermione's names on it. It read

Dear Mr. Ronald Arthur Weasley and Miss Hermione Ann Margaret Samantha Granger

Mr. Weasley will now be sharing the room with Miss Granger in the Head Girls room. Also Mr. Weasley has also been chosen to replace the former Boys Prefect who has resigned from school. Congratulations to you both

Sincerely Minerva Mc Gonagal

Deputy Head Mistress

"Mione this is awesome now we will be able to live together and raise our child together, isn't this just so cool." "Ron everything is going the exact opposite of what I thought was going to happen. I can't believe I have you as my fiancé." "Mione you have made me the luckiest man in the world and I hope to make you the happiest women in the world." "Ron you have for the past three years and you will never disappoint me. I love you so much." Hermione said as Ron leaned down to kiss her.

"Ginny, Mione come on guys we got to leave we still have some shopping to do for our school supplies and such in Diagon Alley." Harry called up the stairs. "You know those two are taking longer and longer since the got pregnant and engaged." Ron said laughingly. "What was that you giant prat?" "Hermione called down as her and Ginny came down the stairs. "Nothing baby let's get going we don't have all day." "So how are we going to do this? Do we want apparate or do we want to use floo powder." Mr. Weasley asked the kids. Well I don't think floo powder is good for the girls because of their pregnancies so why don't we apparate to Diagon Alley. "Mrs. Weasley said to her husband. "Okay lets do it then. Everybody hold on to each other." Less then thirty seconds later the whole group was in The Leaky Cauldron, which was owned by an elderly wizard named Tom. "Oi Mr. Weasley weren't expecting you this soon. How are you an' Harry wasn't expecting to see you for another few days either what's wrong" "Nothing Tom we just came up a few days early to get the girls settled and to get some more stuff that they might need because of their pregnancies." "Ginny and Hermione you're both pregnant?" Tom asked astonished. "Yes Tom we are" The girls said in unison. "Tom we are going to the alley could you have are stuff sent up please?" Mr. Weasley asked. "Right away sir." "Okay guys Molly and I are going to stay here and get some rest so you guys go ahead just keep an eye on each other and girls no rough stuff okay you are carry our grandchildren in there so be careful." "We will Dad don't worry." Mr. Weasley looked at his new family it seemed perfect. The smartest girl in Hogwarts was marrying his son and The Boy Who Lived was marrying his daughter and according to the Med Wizard they should deliver their children on or about the same day. Ginny and Hermione were enjoying a chilled bottle of pumpkin juice when the most hated boy in all of Hogwarts nay the world cam into view. "Oh shit here comes Malfoy now we're in for it." "Ginny don't worry he shouldn't know and we are still not showing so he should only talk about our families like he usually does. So just ignore the bastard." "Ah Weasley and Granger talking about baby names for those bastards you are cooking in your ovens?" "How do you know Malfoy we never told anybody."? "It's right here in black and white." Malfoy was holding up a copy of The Daily Prophet. Hermione snatched the paper and read aloud. "Two new marriages are happing this year with some of Hogwarts most honored students. "Ronald Weasley, son of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley has been become engaged to Miss Hermione Granger, daughter of David and Velma Granger who are both Muggles. According to reports no wedding date has been set but the birth of their first child is supposed to happen within the next six months. Miss Granger is Head Girl and Mr. Weasley has been appointed new Boy's Prefect." Ah shit we didn't want the whole wizard world to know about this. "Ginny you are not going to like this but there is more." Hermione said. "Go ahead and read it." Ginny said. "Mr. And Mrs. Weasley also announce the engagement of their youngest daughter Ginny Weasley to Harry Potter. Harry who grew up in the Muggle world is the son of the deceased James and Lily Potter. Harry is most well known as the boy who lived and defeating Voldemort twice while he has been at Hogwarts. The Weasley's have also announced that Harry and Ginny are expecting their first child in six months time. There has not been any conformation to either deny or confirm this story but we at The Daily Prophet will keep you up to date." "Great everyone in fucking school is going to know now that this is happening. This is just great." Ginny said. "Yeah and believe me they will call you worst names then I ever could because now they know you are both sluts!" "WHAT WAS THAT MALFOY?" "Well Mr. Daddy Potter how pleasant to see you here. Trying to save this knocked up slut of a girlfriend?" Harry was madder then ever before he had never hated anyone as much as he hated Draco Malfoy. "Malfoy I refuse to fight you here but if you ever come near my family again, that includes Ron, Hermione, Ginny, or any of the Weasley's I will shove your wand so far up your ass that magical dust will be coming out of your damn mouth." "All talk and no action as usual." "Leave now Malfoy." Harry's eyes were glowing an ever-menacing red color. Malfoy knew he was going to far. "Just so you know Potter I am not leaving because of you I am leaving because I am late for a meeting." "That sorry son of a bitch. How dare he say that Ginny and I are sluts? Just because our boyfriends love us and are willing to take care of us and their babies." "Mione don't worry we will get him eventually but we need to get back to the Cauldron it's late and you two need some sleep before tomorrow." Ron told his fiancé. The next day Harry and Ron woke up extra early to get the entire luggage ready. "Harry how do you think our last year will go?" Well to be honest it is going to be hard but we need to remember that our main responsibilities are to Mione and Ginny, but we will do fine." At nine in the morning Harry and Ron went up the stairs to wake the girls up and have them get ready. "Harry I don't want to get up I am so tired." Ginny said sleepily. "Come on baby we need to get to the train station. Ron has gone get Mione up so lets get you out of bed." Ginny decided there was no way she could convince Harry to let her sleep some more. "Ahh, your right it's about time to leave anyway and I really think the sooner we get there the better. I really don't want to be out past dark and it's about a twelve hour trip." Ron suddenly spoke up. "Well, if worse comes to worse, we could always take the old Ford Ginny." True enough, well lets get going and make some breakfast for everyone. They sat for a while listening to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley talk. But Harry kept looking at his watch and wondering if they would make it to the platform on time. Well, breakfast was good but it is about time to head to the train. Mr. Weasley just smiled. Relax Harry; you'll get there on time. Well I know Mr. Weasley but I really don't want Ginny to feel sick and she doesn't have a good feeling about being out past dark. Oh I wouldn't worry about that said Mr. Weasley, just make sure that you both eat enough before you take off. Hold on, said Ginny, I know that look in your eye dad, what did you do?" Oh I can't take the suspense come on out side you four. Come and see what it is that I have I've gotten for you and my grand kids. Harry gathered himself up and walked out to see what kind of horrible gift there would be. He imagined accepting a gift such as a dragon egg or a new broomstick for Ginny, but he seemed to excited for this to be a small gift. Harry walked to the front lawn of the Leakey Cauldron and was astonished at what he saw, in the lawn were two cars, a four seated Plymouth prowler and next to that was a black mustang that looked larger then normal. "Holy shit dad how did you get these cars. What did we suddenly become rich all of the sudden." "Well Ron since you put it so eloquently I have some more news to tell you. After Harry's defeat of Voldemort we have been trying to get Cornelius Fudge out of office for his failure to act on the warnings. We finally did it a few weeks ago and the ethics committee appointed me the new Minister of Magic. Now although this is a temporary appointment the cars came with the job. We gave you the cars because we thought it would be nice if you guys had something to travel around the Muggle world in if you ever needed it. We also knew that you were getting tired of riding the train and so we just decided we give you guys these. They have been equipped to fly and they both have new invisibility cloaks so just in case your flying over downtown London you wont be spotted." "Daddy thank you this is so perfect we never thought this would be the gift." "Well nothing is too good for my two daughters." The group packed up the cars and they were on their way to Hogwarts. "Harry this is going to be a great year and we are going to be a great family" Ginny I love you and I want you to know that I will protect you okay my love." "Harry I know you love me and we will get through this together." "Hey Harry come in." "What's up Ron?" "This is so cool our own CB radio so we can keep in contact with each other. Well I just wanted to tell you guys to get ready to land we are coming up on Hogwarts." "THANK God I need to puke!" Ginny said to Harry. They had arrived at Hogwarts about six that night and the little house elves helped unload the cars. As they went up the stairs to the castle they were confronted by Draco Malfoy. "Look guys I know you don't like me and personally I want you guys dead but look I need to tell you this." "Malfoy this had better not be a trick!" Harry exclaimed. "Potter shut up for once okay. Look my mother and father have split and my mother has told me the truth of who she really is." "What do you mean who she really is we know she is Narcissa Crane." "Yes I know that too Potter but she is also your aunt." "What are you talking about Malfoy she cant be my aunt." Harry said astonished.
