Chapter 4

                        Harry hurried home after Quidditch practice, took a quick shower and was out the door again, off to Draco's bachelor party.  He was a bit depressed because he just found out that he would have to go on a month long trip for his Quidditch team at the crack of down the day after Draco's wedding.  Draco was extremely excited and didn't seem nervous at all about the wedding the next day.  Harry returned home around 11:30 to find Hermione reading in bed. 

            "What took you so long?" Hermione asked with a pout.

            "Sorry, it just lasted longer then I expected.  Honey, I have something to tell you," Harry said getting ready for bed.

            "I have something to tell you two Harry!" Hermione said with a smile on her face.

            "You go first," Harry said, climbing into bed.

            "No you, please!" Hermione begged.

            "Ok, well I don't think you'll be too happy but at the crack of dawn the day after the wedding I have to leave for a month," Harry said sadly. 

            "Harry!  Why? I'm sick of you leaving!" Hermione said putting her book down.

            "I'm sorry, if I don't go I'll lose my job!" Harry replied.

            "But Harry!" Hermione said, climbing out of bed.

            "Where are you going?" Harry asked.

            "To the bathroom, oh and by the way I got a job.  I'll be working at The Three Broomsticks, helping out Madam Rosmerta," Hermione said shutting the bathroom door.

            "Hermione, I'm sorry," Harry said.  She didn't answer.  By the time she came out she was ready to tell him her other news.

            "Harry I went to the doctor today and…" Hermione began but found Harry asleep, snoring.  Hermione sighed and climbed into bed. 

            "Draco you'll be fine," Ron and Harry said.  Draco had turned paler then usual and was a nervous wreck.  Draco didn't say anything; he just walked down the aisle and waited for Ginny to come down the aisle.  Ginny came down a few minutes later smiling happily.  Arthur had her hand on his elbow, and looked near to tears.  Mrs. Weasley was already crying.  Draco managed to say the vows without stuttering and calmed down when Ginny said, "I do."  During the reception Nadine made an announcement that made Mrs. Weasley cry even harder.

            "Ron and I are going to have a baby," She said happily.  Mrs. Weasley burst into tears again and hugged her and Ron.  Ginny and Draco smiled and kissed. 

            "I would love to have a baby," Harry thought.  Hermione smiled and then tried to tug Harry aside, but he insisted on congratulating Ron.  Hermione frowned and went to talk to Ginny. 

            "I'm so happy for you," She said.  Ginny smiled.

            "Me too!  I've never been happier in my life," Ginny said.  She was standing at the reception table, Draco was over by Ron. 

            "Ginny how do I get Harry away from them!  I have something important to tell him, but every time I try, something gets in the way," Hermione said, close to tears. 

            "Will you tell me?" Ginny asked.

            "You promise not to tell Harry.  I want to tell him myself and before he leaves tomorrow," Hermione said.

            "I promise," Ginny said.

            "I'm pregnant," Hermione whispered.

            "I'm so happy for you!" Ginny said, throwing her arms around Hermione.

            "I just need to tell Harry now!" Hermione said, when Ginny let go of her. 

            "Well the reception is almost over," Ginny said.  At that moment Draco took Ginny's hand and walked towards the muggle limo they rented.  Ginny threw the bouquet behind her and one of her school friends caught it.  Hermione headed over to Harry, but was interrupted by men in black cloaks who appeared out of nowhere. 

            "Hermione, go home!" Harry yelled pulling out his wand.  Hermione did as she was commanded and apparated home. 

            "Where is he?" A death eater asked angrily.

            "Who," Harry said, pointing his wand at the man who spoke.

            "You idiot!  Draco Malfoy of course," The man said.

            "Oh him, well if you so much as lay a hand on him or try to follow him I will kill you," Harry said angrily.  All the men at the reception pulled out their wands. 

            "Fine!" The man said, shooting a spell that made everything around him catch on fire then he and the others disappeared.  Harry and the other men set to work right away to put out the fire's.  It took them most of the afternoon and part of the night to finish.  Harry hurried home afterwards but it was around nine by the time he got home.  He wandered upstairs and opened the bedroom door.  It looked like Hermione was already sleeping.  Harry took a quick shower and finished packing his things.  He climbed into bed and went to kiss Hermione on the cheek.  It was wet, like she had been crying.  Crookshanks was purring on the bed next to her.  Harry decided not to wake her, she looked so peaceful.

              Harry woke at 4 in the morning and quickly got dressed.  He was sitting on the edge of the bed when Hermione sat up, making Crookshanks fall off the bed.  Crookshanks hissed and ran out of the room. 

            "I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Harry asked, watching Hermione rubbing the sleep from her eyes. 

            "No, I wanted to make sure I could say goodbye," Hermione said.

            "You didn't have to," Harry said, slipping on his shoes. 

            "I wanted too, and plus there was something I really have to tell you," Hermione replied. 

            "Ok, I have ten minutes before I have to leave," Harry said, sitting down next to Hermione. 

            "Well Harry, I think you'll be happy, but if you're not don't be mad at me," Hermione said quickly.

            "I could never be mad at you," Harry said, kissing her on the cheek.

            "Harry…I'm…pregnant," Hermione said slowly. 

            "What?  How?" Harry asked.

            "You should know how," Hermione said.

            "Oh, yeah, that's great!  Are you ok?  Is there anything I can do for you?" Harry said.

            "Harry I'm barely a month pregnant, I won't need your help until I'm further along," Hermione said, smiling. 

            "What is it?  Is it a girl or a boy?" Harry asked, pulling Hermione into a hug.

            "Harry, I won't be able to find out for a couple more weeks.  And I want this one to be a surprise," Hermione laughed. 

            "Oh, ok.  I'll try to hurry back!  I don't want to miss anything!  Write me when it kicks or does anything!" Harry said, hugging her again.

            "I will, but you're going to be late," Hermione said hugging him. 

            "Oh, right!  I'll write you tons!" Harry said, kissing her on the lips. 

            "I'll be fine.  I'm going to start work today and I'm sure Sirius will be over to check on me like he does every time you go away," Hermione said. 

            "I love you!" Harry said, pulling away from her.

            "I love you too!" Hermione said as Harry disaparated.  Hermione fell back against the pillows as Crookshanks jumped back into the bed.  He settled down by her feet and fell asleep.  Hermione smiled and patted her stomach.  "I can't wait until your born."
