Harry and Hermione met in the Room of Requirement, and found it looking a lot like a generic Hogwarts common room. There were plenty of plush chairs and a couple of comfy couches positioned around a grand fire place that was already crackling.

Slowly people started to trickle in, until all nine of their invited friends were scattered around them. At first, no one spoke, and everyone looked to be a bit uncomfortable.

Ginny spoke up first. "So why did you call us all here? What's going on?"

"I had to move rooms this morning. There is going to be a new Head Girl announced at dinner tonight." Hermione began.

"What!" Ginny interrupted, outraged. "Why?"

"I'm pregnant." Hermione said simply.

Everyone in the room was completely silent. They seemed to be waiting for someone to say "Just kidding," "Gotcha," or "April Fools," even though it was mid-December.

Lavender was the first one to speak up, "Really? You're having a baby?" She said with a grin.

"Babies, actually," Harry said with a warm smile as he placed his hand on Hermione's still flat stomach.

"Twins?" The Patil sisters squealed.

"I KNEW something was off at breakfast this morning!" Ginny said with an uncharacteristically girly squeak.

"We're about 10 weeks pregnant right now," Hermione said.

Ginny jumped up and hugged her. "I'm so happy for you guys! Does mum know yet?"

Hermione smiled a little, and soon was surrounded by the other girls chattering about baby names and baby showers and all manner of other things baby related. Harry kissed Hermione's cheek and slipped away to sit closer to the guys who hadn't said much, but had scooted closer to the fire, in order to get a bit of distance between themselves and the squealing girls.

Harry walked up to the small group of guys and looked at them, awaiting their response.

"Well, daddy, have a seat," Neville said with a girl.

"Congrats man," Seamus said.

"Better you than me," Dean said with a grin, shooting a look in Ginny's direction.

"Everyone's being so hard on her. Just her. Like it's all her fault." Harry said a bit sadly. "McGonagall told her how disappointed in her she was, Dumbledore took away her Head Girl position, and she's been so sad. I'm glad the girls were able to cheer her up a little."

"If anyone can cheer her up, it's those chatty girls, and Ginny." Dean said with a laugh.

"Even Hannah is getting in on the baby talk over there," Neville observed with a laugh.

The boys sat around laughing, talking, and teasing Harry, until nearly dinnertime, when they decided that they should shake the girls out of their baby obsession and take them down to dinner.

One by one every person present hugged Hermione, and most of them hugged Harry, and headed out the door. Dean and Ginny went out together, pausing to congratulate the expecting couple once again, before closing the door to the Room behind them.

Harry and Hermione were the last couple to exit the Room of Requirement, and before they did, Harry asked, "Are you feel better?"

"A little," she admitted. "It was nice to talk to people who didn't want to remind me how I've ruined my future or how bad it is that I got pregnant in school."

Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione, and she continued to talk. "I feel the same way you do, if I could go back in time, I'd use a spell or something to stop this from happening right now, but I wouldn't change what we did for anything in the world. I love you Harry, and I'm sorry that I've been wrapped up in myself these past two days and haven't even thought of your feelings."

"Oh baby it's alright. You've had a lot to process. I just went from no family to two dads, two kids and some day, I hope, a wife. I've just been marveling in all I've gained, while you've lost quite a bit. I'm not upset with you I promise. I love you and our babies more than anything in the world, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that you all three know that every day, for the rest of my life." Harry said, looking into her eyes.
