Chapter 7

Healer Felix

Hermione decided to stay at home the next day while Olga took all three children into Diagon Alley. She didn't want to run into Draco, but she hoped that the children might so that they would be glad to see their father again.

Hermione however lay in her and Draco's bed snuggled up to Draco's pillow. Unhappy though she was she knew that she had move on and somehow find something fun to do that would improve her mood.

She decided on visiting Ginny, and not telling her about Draco, for that would just ruin her day. Hermione dressed then flooed to the Burrow hoping to find Ginny and Harry eating breakfast with Molly and Arthur.

Her gamble was worth it, Ginny, Harry, Bill and Fleur were all sitting at the table with Arthur as Molly made eggs in the kitchen.

"Hermione!" Mr. Weasley boomed heartily.

Everyone turned around to see Hermione enter the kitchen from the den and smiled at her. She returned the smile to them all then sat down between Ginny and Bill for some food.

"Where's Draco and the kids?" Mrs. Weasley asked transporting some eggs from the frying pan onto Hermione's empty plate.

"Oh they are... visiting Narcissa in France today." She lied.

"That sounds nice, why didn't you go?"

"Well I wanted to visit with Ginny today and perhaps go into Muggle London."

There would be no chance of seeing Draco there.

"Oh Hermione. I'm really sorry but Harry and I need to go to St. Mungos after breakfast, we're going to see a Healer about the baby." Ginny said grinning.

"Oh," Hermione replied before shoveling a forkful of egg into her mouth.

"But you could come with us!" Ginny suggested at hearing Hermione's disappointed tone.

Hermione thought about this. She hadn't wanted to tell Ginny or anyone for that matter about the baby yet and if she went to St. Mungos to hear about Ginny's baby she was certain she wouldn't be able to not tell them.

"I thought you just went though?" Hermione asked buying some time to make her decision.

"Oh we went all right, but we got a horrible Healer. So we're going today to meet with the Healer that delievered all of Mum's kids including me." She said beaming.

Hermione nodded.

"All right then."

"And afterwards after the appointment we can go to Muggle London," Ginny reasured her.

Hermione nodded vaguely.

An hour later Ginny was hurriedly asking Hermione questions as they waited in the waiting room for the Healer to call them back.

"I am so nervous for contractions you know." Ginny admitted to Hermione sheepishly.

"Olga tought me a spell when I was pregnant with Adrian that reduces the pain exceptionally."

"Oh you must teach me!" Ginny said excitedly.

"Certainly. Also Ginny... there's something that I wanted to tell-"

"POTTER, GINNY!" A plump witch in white shouted across the waiting room.

"That's us!" Ginny said standing up quickly smiling.

Harry and Hermione followed Ginny and the what Hermione guessed was a midwife back through the office until they reached a room.

"Here you go deary, the Healer will be in momentairly." The plump witch in white said.

Hermione entered the room and sat close to Ginny smiling at her. Almost as instantly as the witch had closed the door it burst wide open to reveal a somewhat dishelved looking Healer.

He was very tall and very skinny, he had messy wiry gray and white hair that stuck out from root to end, a pair of magnifing glasses were perched on his nose that gave him slightly the look of Professor Trelwaney from Hogwarts.

He reminded Hermione of a poster she had seen of a famous Muggles Scientist Albert Einstein. The old Wizard Healer beamed down at Ginny.

"Ginny Weasley!" He boomed.

"Well Ginny Potter it is now isn't it." He said taking a glance a Harry.

"I remember the day that you were born!" He said happily.

Then looked at Harry,

"Congratulations are in order sir!" He said grasping Harry's hand firmly.

Harry gave the man an abnormal grin than said,

"Harry Potter." While shaking the Healer's hand.

"Elias Felix!" The Healer responded.

"But you may just call me Healer Felix."

Then he turned away from Harry and looked a Hermione.

"Not a Weasley are you darling?" He asked grinning.

Hermione shook her head.

"Course you aren't! I would remember! This your sister Potter?" Healer Felix asked smiling.

"N-no just a very very close friend to Ginny and I."

"Ah well welcome Miss..."

"Hermione." She supplied.

"Miss Hermione!" He boomed gleefully.

"Well enough of introductions, I would now like to proceed to an exam on the nipper just to make sure that all is well!" He looked to Harry and Ginny for complaints.

They both nodded smiling at him.

"Jolly good!"

He whipped out his wand and chanted something very quickly under his breath that Hermione was unable to catch was he said.

"Baby is small, perhaps too small."

Ginny looked scared. Healer Felix smiled at her.

"Well it's only about a month old isn't it?" He asked happily.

"Y-yes." Replied Ginny.

"Then that's quite alright for the nipper to be as small as about say..."

He did something strange with his wand and chanted another strange spell under his breath.

"The baby is about the side of a pear." He finally said happily.

"Oh... alright." Ginny said staring strangely at him the quickly looking to Harry.

"Would you like to know the sex?" Healer Felix asked.

"Oh yes!" Ginny said quickly.

He used his wand and leisurely ran it up her stomach. A dark blue glow suddenly erupted from the wand.

"A boy!" Healer Felix boomed.

Ginny grinned widely, Hermione smiled being reminded of when a Healer had done that exact spell on her tummy and it glowing blue and telling her and Draco that they were to have a baby boy.

But Harry however looked to most gleeful of them all.

"A boy?" He asked excitedly.

"Yes sir!" Healer Felix said baring his pearl white teeth in a jolly grin.

"Oh boy... a... BOY!" Harry said then grabbed Ginny and kissed her full on the mouth.

Healer Felix smiled warmily, but Hermione felt a sudden pang of jealousy at them and sadness for herself. She quickly tried to push the thought away and smiled graciously at the pair of them.

Harry looked at Hermione grinning wildly and stupidly. He gripped her hand in his and gasped.

"A boy Hermione!"

Any second thoughts Harry might of had of Healer Felix had just been shunned by the new he'd delievered to them.

"Now I would also like to do one another examination today, make a second appointment for about a month from now and then you may go out and celebrate with your friends." Healer Felix said.

"Ok." Harry said getting a grip and controlling his excitedness.

"This last examination will tell me how strong the baby is and give me an accurate date of when his delievery will be," he informed before preforming the exam.

He chanted one last spell this time Hermione caught it,

"Culimpo!"

His wand suddenly began giving off all sorts and kinds of colors. Healer Felix watched intently nodding and grunting his understanding every so minute. Then finally told them the results,

"The baby is strong, though a little skinny, he will probably be very tall like the Weasley brothers. He will be born in the early months of December."

Ginny and Harry looked at one another smiling.

"Thank you very much Healer Felix," Ginny said hopping down from the examination table.

"The pleasure is mine dear! Now go have a splendid celebration with your friends! And make an appointment with the witch in the front office for a month from today. Cherio!" With that he left the room.

Hermione had never met a stranger Healer in all of her life. But she liked Healer Felix. He was very likable, although odd. Harry and Ginny made the appointment then they all left St. Mungos.

"We should go and visit Ron and Lavender first!" Harry suggested.

"Or your parents!"

"Harry, I promised Hermione that I would go into London with her after the appointment. We'll have dinner with them all this evening. Would you like to come to dinner tonight Hermione?"

"I can't I'm sorry," she answered thinking of taking the children to the Burrow without Draco.

"Well then we'll spend a few hours in London then I'll meet you back at the Burrow later Harry."

Harry nodded and kissed Ginny before walking off in the other direction.

"Now," began Ginny.

"Now that he's gone. Tell me what's up with you and Draco?" Ginny said with a knowing look.

Hermione looked at her shocked. How did she know, she hadn't given any hints at all-

"Don't look so surprised. I know you, you would never give up the chance to visit Narcissa in France. If that's even where they are?" She eyed Hermione suspiciously.

Hermione released a deep sigh and looked at Ginny pensively.

"Well can we talk about it over a cup of coffee or something?" Hermione suggested.

Ginny nodded,

"I know a great place."

They strode up the street to a small cafe that Ginny went inside of, Hermione following. Once inside they ordered coffee and scones. Ginny watched Hermione expectantly.

"Well you were right," Hermione began.

"They aren't in France. Olga took the children to Diagon Alley and wherever they wanted to go to today... but Draco-"

She broke off.

"What is it Hermione?" Ginny asked placing her arm on Hermione's.

Hermione's eyes were wide and full of tears.

"Ginny I'm pregnant."

Ginny continued to stare at her lamely then suddenly she smiled gleefully,

"Oh Hermione that's wonderful! We'll have our children just about the same time!"

"And Draco cheated on me."

Ginny's jaw fell open.
