A/N I love you guys! Seriously! The reviews I've been getting, wow I just can't believe it! The reviews are excellent, and I decided to do the next chapter earlier, thanks to your tremendously wonderful response! Well here it is, what you've all been waiting for, Harry's response to Hermione's bomb. Once again, please r/r!

Harry was noiseless. Hermione didn't even feel his chest moving, just his heart beat racing.
"Harry?" Hermione peered up into his expressionless face. His mouth was open, but he was turning purple.
"Harry, breathe!" Hermione sat up straight and prodded him. He took a deep breath and put his hands on Hermione's.
"You're, you're pregnant? But how?" Harry asked, dumbfounded. Hermione rolled her tear filled eyes, which caused a few to fall down her cheeks.
"Harry!" Hermione cried. The tears started to flow again
"Oh Hermi I'm sorry, come here," Harry reached out his arms and pulled her tight to him. She started to cry harder again.
"Shh, Hermione it will be ok, shh," Harry held her as she cried, occasionally wiping a few tears of his own away.
"Harry, what are we going to do? This will ruin my whole life! They probably won't even let me stay in school with a baby. Then my parents will kill you, if Sirius doesn't first and so I'll have to bring up the child on my own!" she exclaimed.
"This won't ruin your life, and Dumbledore will let you stay in school. You know Dumbledore; he won't let his most promising seventh year go! And I don't think your parents will kill me, but I'll have to agree with you, Sirius will kill me," Harry answered. Hermione laughed feebly.
"You're not mad at me?" Hermione asked. Harry sighed and scooted over so he could lean against the headboard. Hermione laid beside me.
"Hermione, this is as much your fault as it is mine. But, I guess I always wanted to be a dad someday, but I wasn't expecting it this soon. We should go see Dumbledore, he'll know what to do," Harry said.
"Yes, I guess we should. Shall we go now?" Hermione asked. Harry nodded. He stood up, and helped up his girlfriend. As Hermione was walking out, Harry put his arms around her, holding her stomach.
"It's hard to believe there is a little person in there, a little person that was made by you and me," Harry whispered in a soft voice. Hermione smiled, and started to weep. Harry held open the door, and they walked down to the common room hand in hand. Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, a terribly concerned Ron ambushed them.
Harry, Hermione, what is wrong, Herm, why are you crying? You guys, what is going on?" Ron asked apprehensively.
"Ron, we'll tell you later, we need to talk to Dumbledore, be back in a bit, okay?" Harry informed him. Ron was about to protest when Hermione cut him off.
"We will talk to you when we get back okay?" Hermione glared at him. Ron nodded and Harry and Hermione stepped through the portrait hole. They walked down the twisting and turning path to Dumbledore's office. Harry muttered the password to the ugly gargoyle (Acid Pop) and they rode the moving stairs up to his door. They knocked on his door and almost immediately, like he was expecting them, Dumbledore opened the door and beckoned Harry and Hermione in. He sat behind his desk.
"It is great to see you both, however, may I ask the cause of this visit?" Dumbledore asked kindly. Harry bit his lip, this was quite awkward. He glanced over at his girlfriend, and saw her lip trembling. At that moment, she burst into tears. Harry squeezed her hand tightly in his. Dumbledore's smile faded at the sight of Hermione weeping. Dumbledore turned to face Harry and asked,
"May I take a guess?"
Harry reddened. He knew of course. There was no possible way in hiding anything from him. However, Harry nodded.
"Miss Granger, I do believe that you are expecting a child. Am I correct?" questioned Dumbledore. Hermione nodded slowly.
"It is not a surprise, you two are very much in love, but I must express the seriousness in this. Both of you are seventeen, and still receiving education here. What we have to do is…" Dumbledore was cut off as Hermione spoke up.
"Professor, we won't be expelled, will we?" Hermione's lip trembled, as if daring Dumbledore to say what she doesn't want to hear. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.
"Expelled? Heavens no Hermione, you two are very promising for this school, I will not let your pregnancy ruin your chances of being very powerful and great in life. As I was going to say, we need to contact your parents Hermione, and Harry, we need to contact Sirius and your aunt and uncle," he answered. Hermione showed a hint of a smile, but then paled at the thought of her parents.
"Although, I think I will contact them at a later date, you two are obviously stressed from this news today, and I think you need to rest. Hermione, I will speak with Madame Pomfrey, and let her know, seeing that she will most definitely be delivering your child. For now, you may head back to Gryffindor Tower. Harry, before you go, I'd like to have a word with you," said Dumbledore. Harry looked over at Hermione as she stood from her chair, giving Harry the when-you-get-back-tell-me-everything-or-else look. She smiled at Dumbledore and treaded out of the room. After the door was closed tightly behind her.
"Harry, about this baby. Lately, there hasn't been much activity coming from Voldemort, and that concerns me."
Harry frowned.
"Couldn't it mean that Voldemort is gone for good?" he asked.
"No Harry, although your battle with him last year may have weakened him slightly, he is still very much there. I think it means they are either planning something huge and terrible, or waiting for something to happen that they can focus all their destructive habits on," Dumbledore explained. Harry thought in silence for a moment. Then he looked up at Dumbledore, with anxiety in his eyes.
"Are you saying that Voldemort wants to go after mine and Hermione's baby?" Harry asked. He blushed slightly at the thought of the baby being partly his. Dumbledore nodded sadly.
"Yes, I do believe that he will take your child to get to you."
"But sir, if we keep the baby a secret, Voldemort won't know about it," Harry suggested hopefully.
"Voldemort has a habit of finding out what he wants..."
***
While Harry was talking with Dumbledore, Hermione hiked up to the tower. As she entered the common room, Ron surprised her my hopping in front of the portrait hole as soon as she had both feet in.
"Oh my goodness Ron, you nearly gave my a heart attack!" Hermione moaned.
"Sorry, I only wanted to know what was wrong," he explained. Hermione nodded slightly and led him over to a couple chairs in a secluded corner of the common room. Ron studied Hermione as she avoided his eyes and examined her hands.
"Well?" Ron asked expectantly. Hermione peered up into Ron's brown eyes.
"Ron, I, er, I'm pregnant," Hermione mumbled.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?" Ron bellowed. The whole common room snapped their heads in the direction of Ron and Hermione. Tears came streaking down Hermione's face as she turned a bright shade of magenta.
"Ron!" she groaned and ran up to her dorm room.
"Oh dear," Ron grumbled as his ears turned almost the same colour as Hermione's face. Whispers exploded like wild fire just then as Harry entered the common room. Harry was waylayed by many people asking;
"Is Hermione really pregnant?"
"Are you expelled?"
"Did you get Hermione pregnant?"
"What did Dumbledore say?"
"What the hell?" Harry murmured to himself. He managed to wade through the crowd and sat down by Ron.
"Ron, what's going on? Where is Hermione?" questioned Harry.
"Well, I kinda lost control when she told me she was pregnant and accidentally hollered to the whole common room that she was pregnant," Ron explained in barely more than a whisper. Harry clapped his hand to his forehead.
"Oh Ron," he groaned and dashed up the same stairs as Hermione did moments before.
