Chapter Thirty Six || Co-Ed Naked Quidditch
Draco's POV ::
"You may wait in here with Mr. Zabini and Mr. Finnegan." Madame Pomfrey told me. I walked inside the antechamber and heard the curtain swish close behind me.
There were two couches in the room. Blaise was seated on one and Seamus on the other. I sat down next to Blaise.
"Hermione was ready not soon after Luna." I told the two as they looked at me.
"I wonder who will be next." Seamus speculated.
As if on cue, there was a commotion from the main hospital wing space. The sounds echoed because of the other room's largeness. It sounded like a girl was wailing.
"Must be Pansy." Blaise met my eyes and raised an eyebrow.
I gave a short laugh, analyzing the girl's cries. "I wouldn't be surprised if Potter walked in here right now."
A dark haired boy lifted the curtain. Harry Potter walked in and took a seat next to Seamus.
"Sounds like Pansy's going through helll, mate." Seamus rose an eyebrow at Harry.
"She probably is. I'd be nervous too." Potter replied, looking down at his hands in his lap.
"Anybody remember how long it will take for the operation to be over?" Blaise asked us.
"Pomfrey told me we'll be here over night." Ron answered Blaise as he slipped through the curtain.
"Astoria's here?" Blaise gave Ron a confused look.
"She wasn't screaming like Parvati and Pansy were." The Gryffindor said as he filled the last seat on the opposing couch.
I looked at Ron. McGonagall sure did a helluva job pairing the most opposite teens together. Then again, Seamus and Parvati are both outgoing Gryffindors who embraced their heritage. Harry and Pansy are both intelligent and ambitious.
Neville entered the room, very pale. I could hear Hannah making a racket from the other room. Longbottom sat on the floor.
"What do we do now?" Harry inquired.
Blaise and I shrugged. Neville shook his head.
"I'm hungry." Ron announced.
"We could go to Great Hall and maybe get something to eat." Neville suggested. He looked around the room for our reactions.
"Sounds good to me." I stood up.
"There's nothing better to do, besides worry my arse off about Parvati." Seamus got to his feet.
"Finnegan's got a point. If I'm here I'll just be goin' outta my mind." Blaise agreed.
"Alright, let's get out of here." Harry rose and went for the 'door', lifting up the curtain. The six of us left the smaller room, passing through the main hospital wing to the exit. Madame P and her assistants were nowhere to be seen.
"Some seventh year named Jocelyn was there for Hermione. Damn, she's fine." I said as we left the Wing.
Blaise chuckled. "I'd become a hospital wing apprentice just to get with Pomfrey's assistants."
Hermione's POV ::
"Miss Granger?" I heard a voice pulling me from sleep. Grumbling, I rubbed at my face. I awoke to bright green eyes.
"Good morning!" Jocelyn said with too much keenness. "How are you feeling?"
I yawned. "I'm exhausted. And …" That's when it hit me. My eyes slowly traveled down to my abdomen. "Oh my God." I breathed softly.
I was no longer pregnant.
Jocelyn realized my recognition. "First noticing that you're not carrying anymore will shock you. Then you'll just be astounded with the fact that you're a mother."
"I'm a mother." I repeated. "Wait. Where is my child?"
"You can see h— I mean, 'it', in a few hours. You have time now to clean yourself up, get ready for the day, whatever you want to do before meeting your kid with Draco." Suddenly I was aware Jocelyn had the baby bag when she put it on the bed.
"You know what gender it is, don't you?" I sat up, reaching for the emergency baby bag.
Jocelyn smiled at me. "Yes I do. But Pomfrey told me not to spoil the surprise."
I smiled back. "Thank you." I unzipped the bag and began to rifle through it.
"I am going to fetch you some breakfast now, Miss Granger." Jocelyn said. "You have an hour to get ready! You can use the bathroom across the Wing."
I watched her leave before walking to the bathroom. Double the size of the Head bathroom, the gleaming restroom was bright and clean. A row of seven sinks lined one wall, with seven stalls crossways.
"Hermione?" Astoria's voice came from behind me. I turned around to face the blonde.
"Hey, Astoria." I gave her a small smile before placing my bag in a sink to unpack some things. I lined up my lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and soap along the sink's ledge by the mirror.
"How are you doing? God, it's so weird to see you not pregnant." Astoria laughed, taking the sink next to where I was standing.
"It's so weird, isn't it?" I gushed, looking down. My slender waist was back.
"I can't wait to meet my kid!" Astoria grinned at me.
The sound of the bathroom door opening and closing alerted us.
"Hey ladies!" Parvati's outgoing voice rang through the restroom. We smiled back.
"'Morning, sunshine." Astoria greeted her.
"McGonagall had a surprise for me this morning." Parvati placed her bag into the sink next to me, withdrawing a few bottles of various toiletries.
"What?" I asked her, taking a hair tie out of my bag to put up a ponytail.
"I had twins!" Parvati squealed. I turned to her, my mouth wide open with shock.
Astoria was so surprised she dropped her bottle of lotion. "OhmyGod, no way!"
"It's true! Pomfrey told McGonagall that she would be delivering twins. McGonagall said she was almost positive I was carrying two." Parvati confirmed, sweeping a brush through her long locks.
"Parv, that's so exciting." I beamed at her.
"I can't wait to meet my babies, and see Seamus." She grinned at me. "But now I need a shower."
"Ugh, me too. My body is going to look so different," Astoria admired her figure again in the mirror.
I rummaged around for a towel and clothing to wear after my shower. Draco packed my favorite fluff maroon towel.
He also packed his favorite T shirt, which I didn't notice as I grabbed it to change into after my shower.
"Wow Granger, nice shirt!" Parvati giggled.
"What do you mean?" We were brushing our wet hair afterwards.
"Take a look in the mirror, Hermione." Astoria winked.
I took a step back so that I could see my shirt in the mirror. It was a worn V neck tee that read 'Co-Ed Naked Quidditch.' On the back, the number on the jersey was 69.
"I am going to kill Draco!" I tried not to crack up as the other girls broke into laughter.
