Just to warn you McGonagall is going to take a huge role in this story. Hermione has changed her for the good. You will find out why soon. Can't tell you till next chapter though. Snape is going to have a whole chapter to tell how he fell in love with Hermione so reviewers... Be patient :) It is coming. I PROMISE... Harry too will take a huge role later on. A sad role but a big part of the story.
TO reviewer AMY LEE () ~~have you ever thought of becoming a beta reader yourself. You would be awesome at it. Thanks for all of the help you have given me so far. :)
Chapter 2
From your arms, I get my Strength
"Herm, what is wrong," asked Harry, "you haven't seemed the same lately."
"Oh, nothing, Harry, I am just scared and happy."
"About what Hermione?"
"You will find out soon enough." Said Hermione.
"Hermione would you go with me to the dance that is on Friday, please? Since Cho is gone I... I don't have any one else to go with."
"Sorry Harry, I am going with someone else."
"Who, if I may ask?"
"My... my friend Harry." Hermione couldn't tell him not yet. He can't know about the person growing inside her or the love that is filled in her heart. She knew he needed her most now. He lost his love but hers was still there. He needed me she thought but no. She walked over to Harry and hugged him. As she did so Harry could tell that something was definitely not right. Hermione had always been compassionate but not to the extent to hug him. She had realized too that Harry had changed. He no longer looked at life the same since the day he saw his love die. Ron had changed a lot too. He broke down when his mother died the summer before his sixth year. That was hard on everyone. Ron doesn't feel any more she thought. He didn't take in any of the pain. He had become a wall from society. He only spoke with Harry and me.
Hermione left and sat down in her seat in Transfigurations she smiled at Harry and moved her hand to her stomach, she had felt sick all that day. She always felt nauseated. He smiled back a kind of smile saying I know you are not telling me everything, friends tell.
During the middle of McGonagall's lesson Hermione was startled when the baby kicked for the first time. She had actually screamed. All eyes were on her. "Miss. Granger may I ask what is wrong?" said Professor McGonagall.
"Ugh, nothing Professor." Said Hermione nervously. She had put her hand on her stomach and McGonagall knew exactly what was wrong.
"Hermione I need a word with you in the hall. Come." Said McGonagall firmly.
As they left the room Hermione turned to the Professor. "What happened Hermione."
"I think I felt the baby kick." Said Hermione excitedly.
"Oh is that all my dear. You had me worried." Professor McGonagall had been really supportive of Hermione lately. She must have known what it was like to feel the baby move. Professor McGonagall hugged Hermione and told her to go tell Severus. She knew exactly what Hermione had wanted to do.
As Hermione left down the corridor towards the dungeon she smiled. She walked down the dungeon steps and noticed Severus had a class. "Professor, may I have a word with you in private please."
"Miss Granger can't you see I have a class." Said Snape. "Oh well this way." She followed him into his office and he asked her what she needed.
"The baby it kicked." She cried. "Our baby kicked."
"Oh my Hermione, this is really happening." Snape hugged her and kissed her for a few minutes. He told her to meet her at lunch. Hermione had an appt. with Madam Pomfrey to check on how the baby was doing. Snape was going to be there as well as Dumbledore and McGonagall. Everyone was excited to see how the Hogwarts baby was fairing.
At lunch McGonagall led Hermione to the Hospital wing where she was instructed to lay down by the ultrasound machine. She did so and pulled up her shirt above her stomach, which has surprisingly gotten fairly larger than it was. Pomfrey moved the probe over her stomach to reveal a healthy baby. Hermione held Severus's hand and began crying when she saw the baby. It was her baby, their baby. No one could change that. "Congratulation's Miss Granger," said Dumbledore. "Well I think you two have some explaining to do to a lot of people today."
"Hermione your baby looks very healthy for 26 weeks. Just think in fourteen weeks it will be all over sweetie." Said McGonagall with a smile.
Madam Pomfrey looked up from the screen. "Do you want to know what it is?"
They looked at each other and both agreed that they wanted to wait.
"Very well you too."

"Harry did you here that there is going to be an announcement at the dance?" asked Ron.
"Yeah, what is it about?"
"I don't know, but Professor McGonagall is excited. So aren't Professor Snape and Dumbledore. Must be something good."
"Yeah, I wonder."
That night at before the dance Hermione was getting agitated. What would they all think she wondered as she slipped on her dress. She would arrive with Severus. Wouldn't they get suspicious? But god they all would know that night. Oh well she thought. She glanced in the mirror and could tell herself that she was pregnant. She no longer could hide it in her robes. Her dress told all.
She walked down the corridor where she was too meet Professor McGonagall. She spotted her and walked over. "Where is Severus?" asked Hermione.
"He will be here in a minute dear. You look stunning Miss Granger. Just stunning. That little belly of yours is cute." McGonagall joked. All Hermione could do was smile. As Severus walked in to the corridor he smiled at Hermione. His hair looked nice and his tux was clean. He looked handsome she thought, no hot. She walked to him and they kissed romantically. McGonagall smiled and walked next to Severus. Severus put his arm around Hermione and walked her into the Great Hall. Soon all would know.
