Here goes chapter two. Hopefully shouldn't take too long to flesh this story out. Side note I can't find my copy of OotP to ensure the order of events is right. Please forgive me if I switch up events on the time line.

Wiping her eyes from any stray tears at remembering the expression on InuYasha's face when he grasped her hands and realized she wasn't dead after the fight with the Thunder Brothers. She finished the story for Harry and his friends. "Is that when you first realized you loved him?"
Hermione's question jolted Kagome out of her revelry. Harry protested the idea of his sister liking anyone, and Kagome shook her head a sad smile on her features, "it was before then when I realized my heart was helpless."
She then launched into the story about how InuYasha came to possess his sword. Ending the story with, "His half-brother, Sessoumaru, transformed into his true form after having tried to kill me with his miasma. Thankfully, Tetsusaiga protected me or I would have been a goner. As I was crying at the idea of dying in a youkai's tomb 500 years in the past, InuYasha told me to stop crying that he would protect me. The sword transformed and InuYasha was able to slice Sesshoumaru's arm off and force his retreat. I think that moment seeing him so galant is when I fell for him."
"Oi if you two were so in love, then where is he?"
Hermione swiftly smacked Ron's arm especially at seeing Kagome's face crumple, "Kouga-kun told me InuYasha died two years ago, shortly before I fell into the well the first time. It is why I never saw him in my time and why he never sensed himself when he would visit."

Shippo was in the kitchen watching Mrs. Weasley cook, in awe of all the flying pots, pans and food, they were to return to school the next day and Molly was making a farewell feast for the students. Molly had to admit, she would miss the small kitsune, it reminded her of when Charlie was small and loved to hover around the kitchen watching her prepare meals. His small hands holding onto her apron in wonderment at the magic preformed.
'Of course, he'd deny it to this day if it were ever brought up' The red headed matron smiled ruely at the thought. Kagome came in and greeted the older red headed woman, and turned to the kitsune, "Have you packed all your items, Ship? You know we are leaving tonight with Severus."
"I want to go with Harry-oji-san and the others. They said I could. Please okaa-chan!"
Kagome frowned slightly at the idea of the kit being away from her, "If it is okay with Harry and Sirius for you to impose another night. I guess I will meet you at the castle. Be careful, Shippo."
He cheered and ran off. Rushing back to give the miko a hug around her legs before darting back to find Harry and the others. "It will be no trouble. I'm certain he just wants to spend time with his uncle. Besides, my dear, you look like you could use some rest
Shooting the witch a wan smile, "It is just a small stomach bug. I am glad he is enjoying his childhood and playing. Heavens know our journey in the Warring States era did not allow for it."
Molly looked around to ensure the pair were alone, "Dear, I've been through this several times before. Are you certain you aren't pregnant? The twins gave me the worst morning sickness. Lasted the first two trimesters."
Kagome flinched, " I have not told anyone yet. It is the last bit of InuYasha I have, what if something happens to him or her?"
Molly wiped her hands on her apron and gave the teen a hug, "do not fear Madam Pompfry is an amazing healer and Snape is a great potions master. I am certain they both will do all they can to ensure you both remain healthy."
..
Shippo found the three and quickly hopped on the raven-haired teen who was in the middle of playing wizard chess with Ron, "I want to go with you, Harry-oji-kun, on the bus tomorrow! Kagome-kaa-chan already said I could."
Hermione laughed at the antics, while Harry shrugged not looking to closely at his nephew, instead focusing on the violent tussle his castle was in with Ron's pawn. He couldn't see the harm in allowing the kit to join them on the Knight Bus. "If Kagome is okay with it I don't see any issues." A chuckle breaking forth as Shippo cheered again and ran of.
"Well, he adores his 'Harry-oji-kun'." The wizard in question merely threw the socks he was in the process of packing at his red headed friend's face, "Shut up."
Then the good mood quickly soured when Molly requested for Harry to come downstairs. "Harry dear," said Mrs. Weasley, poking her head into the bedroom, "could you come down to the kitchen? Professor Snape would like a word with you."
Not registering what she asked of him for a moment still cheering his rook on but once the words settled in, his mouth dropped open in horror and he looked to his friends for clarification.
He pushed open the kitchen door a minute or two later to find Sirius and Snape both seated at the long kitchen table, glaring in opposite directions. The silence between them was heavy with mutual dislike. A letter lay open on the table in front of Sirius.
Snape quickly informed Harry that it was Dumbledore's wish the Harry take Occulmency next term and he is arrive to his classroom at 6pm Monday evenings for the lesson and if anyone asks he is to say the lessons are Remedial Potions lessons. Snape swirled around in his cloak ignoring the last barb thrown by Sirius and gathered Kagome so that they could be off together.
..
Clutching a small bag of supplies Molly had handed her, Kagome gave Shippo a kiss, "Listen to your uncle, I will see you tomorrow. Be safe. Love you."
The kitsune flushed at the attention and wiggled free, "Kaa-chan~ people are looking. I'm not a baby."
Molly gave the potions master next to her a meaningful look, "Take it easy with the Side-along apparition, her stomach isn't 100% there."
Hugging the girl, "I'll write you more of the remedies I swore by. Take care of yourself, child."
..
Snape wrinkled his nose as he supported the miko's hair as she finished retching. Apologizing again, Kagome took the conjured glass of water and swished the last of the bile from her mouth. "It occurs frequently during side-along apparition. Come we have a small distance to walk to arrive to the castle."
Nodding, the pair walked the path from the village to the school. Where Kagome had her first encounter with the woman everyone warned her about. "Hem-Hem." Interrupted her train of thoughts.
Kagome looked up, slightly startled, at seeing the pink clad, toad-like woman. At the witch's insistence, the miko introduced herself as an apprentice, studying under Snape for the semester. The witch eyed her and started writing on her clipboard furiously as she wandered off. "I may have caused you trouble."
..
Shippo climbed onto the counter with Molly as she was writing down her remedies for emesis gravida. "Is that for the Kagome-mama?"
Molly nodded, "it's family spells and potions that may help her feel better."
"Because she's pregnant?"
Sirius walked in at the moment, "who is pregnant?"
Shippo replied over Molly's blustering that no one was pregnant, "Mama is. She scent changed the same way it did with Sango did when she was knocked up. I think that's why she's been sick and sad lately. She misses him."
Looking rather alarmed, he sputtered out, "She's only a child!"
At that Molly took up the defense, "don't give me the she's only a child. She is seventeen. Lily and James weren't much older when they had her. And she's had to grow up rather quick with the travels to the past. She knows the situation she is in and wants to keep the child to remember her spouse with. Also, Shippo, if she hasn't shared the information with people, it's quite rude to spoil her news. She wasn't ready to mention it to others."
The pair looked quite chastised. Before Sirius spoke again, "with what is going on in Hogwarts will she even be alright there, pregnant?"
Molly swelled with defense of the miko before Shippo intercepted, "Yeah, Snape-san cares about her and she will have me and oji-kun looking out for her when school starts. And once Sessoumaru-sama finds out she is having his nephew or niece he will send someone as well. I know it."
..
After leading her to her room, so that she may unpack, he went to his office that connected both bedrooms and sat at his desk. Trying to rub away his headache at being so close to the priestess and the disconcerting juxtaposition of seeing her mother in her. The ensuring the Pensieve was set up for his "remedial potions" lessons for Potter. He began pulling painful memories from his head and allowing them to swirl in the basin.
When he pulled the last silvery strand from his head and placed it in the bowl he noticed Kagome was standing there watching him, "For Harry's lessons to shutting his mind from outside forces. And those are private memories you don't want anyone to spy upon."
Snape put the pensieve away and locked the doors of his cabinet before responding also in Japanese, "I doubt he would be able to pierce my mind but I would rather be prepared. Are you feeling well?"
The miko nodded, her stomach seemed to settle for now. The potions master frowned slightly she still looked pale, "perhaps a visit with Madam Pompfry is what you need, to make sure you are over your bug."
"I'm pregnant. It's why I've been ill. I just need ginger candy to settle my stomach."
He stared at her and his face reddened a bit, "You are too young for that. Haven't you imagined how that will ruin your life?!"
Kagome reddened as well, "Seventeen is not too young for that! Besides, in the Warring States Era girls were married at 13. If anything I was too old. Anyways, I already am raising Shippo!"
"I hope I am not interrupting anything?" The pair turn and meet with the kind blue eyes of the headmaster. The older wizard was standing there, unsticking some candy, "Here have a piece, Ms. Higurashi. Molly sent notice shortly after you left. Again I am sorry for your loss in mate."
Startled, Kagome reached for a piece of hard ginger candy and popped it into her mouth, "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore. It is rather a surprise. I am glad to have a piece of him with me. I am sorry for causing trouble."
The headmaster left the small jar of candy with them and returned to his office reminding the pair to be cautious in these times and that he would also inform Poppy so that she can have remedies on hand in case it gets more severe.
The arguing pair had the decency to blush as the headmaster left with that admonishment. "I won't apologise for the choices I've made in my life. This child will know their father was a good person and that they are loved. I know you are worried because you were good friends with my mother. It's also why Mama felt comfortable allowing me to come here and meet Harry. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu" punctuating the end of her speech with a small bow.
The potions master sighed and placed his hand on her bowed head. "How many people know about your condition?"
Kagome paused at the change in subject, "You, Professor Dumbledore, Mrs. Weasley, and Mama. I really should write Sessoumaru-sama, he will want to know. I just didn't want to jinx it."
Mussing her hair, he turned and proceeded to head down the stairs towards the class room. She followed him and watched as he waved his wand and the desks and chairs lining the walls proceeded to fly into location, "That is still so cool. Very practical."
..
Sesshoumaru crumpled the note that had just arrived from the priestess. Apparently InuYasha was able to continue their father's line with his hanyou blood. Never has a miko and demon copulated prior so what they may do to the pup was to be seen.
Calling for his secretary, he informed the slight bird youkai to get in contact with Totosai, to prepare for a commission. As well as locate his father's retainer, Myoga, to assist with caring for the newest pack member once born.
