"Hello Hermione!" Madam Rosmerta said as Hermione came in to work later that day.
"Hello," Hermione said, hanging up her spring jacket in the back. "What can I do today?"
"Well the we open in ten minutes, so right now there's nothing to do, you can wait the tables and I'll work the bar," She replied.
"Sounds good," Hermione smiled.
"So how long have you been married?" Rosmerta asked.
"A year this summer, and there's something else," Hermione began.
"Oh, what is it?" Rosmerta asked.
"We're going to have a baby," Hermione said, smiling again.
"That's wonderful!" Rosmerta said pulling her into a hug. "Do you know what it is yet?"
"No, and I want it to be a surprise," Hermione said.
"Oh, I love surprises! Oh we better unlock the door," She said heading over to the door. Hermione followed tying on an apron around her waste. "It's a Hogsmeade weekend for the students as well."
"Oh, I would love to see some of the teacher's again," Hermione replied.
"Well Hagrid will defiantly be in," Rosmerta said.
"Oh I haven't seen him since my wedding," Hermione said excitedly.
"Mornin'" Hagrid said walking into the Three Broomsticks.
"Hagrid!" Hermione said, throwing her arms around his huge shoulders.
"Hermion'! So good ter see ya!" Hagrid said hugging her back. "How's 'arry?"
"He left for a Quidditch trip this morning," Hermione replied.
"The usual Hagrid?" Rosmerta asked.
"Yes," Hagrid said, letting go of Hermione and sitting down at a table. Hermione followed him to join him until more people showed up. She didn't get to sit long for a crowd of students came in and ordered butterbeers.
"Let's practice that again," Harry's Quidditch coach yelled at the team. Harry sighed, they had only arrived an hour ago, and he had set them right to work. "We'll practice this all day and night if you don't get it right!" Harry flew back into the air and searched around for the snitch. They had a game the next day and the coach felt they weren't prepared.
"We'll win coach. Ever since Harry's been on our team we haven't lost a single game," A toll man around 24 pointed out.
"Get back to work!" The coach yelled. The team went back to work, not daring to say another word.
Harry ran in the front door searching for Hermione. He found her in front of the stove baking a cake.
"I'm home!" Harry said, holding a bunch of roses.
"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed turning around. Harry was a little disappointed about her not gaining any weight yet. He was extremely excited about the baby coming and he had no idea how fast the stomach grew. Hermione threw her arms around Harry's neck and kissed him on the lips.
"Has the baby kicked yet?" Harry asked.
"It did this morning!" Hermione said happily.
"Is it kicking now?" Harry asked, hopefully.
"No, but if it does, I'll tell you," Hermione said smiling. She turned back to the cake she was making.
"Do you want any wine to celebrate your coming home?" Hermione asked.
"Is alcohol good for the baby?" Harry asked.
"I won't have any, but do you want some?" Hermione asked, putting the cake in the oven.
"Then if you don't have any I won't," Harry said, wiping some flour off of her nose. Hermione smiled and kissed him again.
"You won every game right?" Hermione asked.
"Did you get my letters?"
"Of course I did, but it's better to hear the story from your mouth," Hermione replied.
"Well then I'll tell you over supper," Harry said.
"All right, but go take a shower, no offense, but you don't smell to good," Hermione laughed.
"You don't like me anymore?" Harry asked, putting on a fake frown.
"Not when you smell that way!" Hermione laughed, plugging her nose.
"Ok, fine," Harry said and walked upstairs to clean up. When he came back down a half hour later, Hermione had dinner on the table and the cake was on the counter cooling. "Smells good."
"Thank you," Hermione said, putting down two plates on the kitchen table. Harry put on some music and lit the candles.
"This tastes great," Harry said, taking a bite of the delicious food Hermione had prepared.
"I'm a good cook aren't I?" Hermione said smiling. Harry just loved the way she smiled.
"Yes you are," Harry replied.
"So tell me all about the games," Hermione insisted.
"Ok, well we had to work our butts off. The moment we reached our destination we set out to practice. But they games were easily won…" Harry explained, telling Hermione in great detail about each game he played. After the dishes were washed and the candles extinguished Harry and Hermione sat down on the couch, Harry's arm around her shoulder. They were sitting in silence looking through pictures of their time at Hogwarts.
"I missed you terribly when you were gone," Hermione said, breaking the silence.
"I missed you too, I dreamed of you every night," Harry replied. Hermione smiled, cuddling closer to her husband.
"I don't ever want you to go away again," Hermione said, putting her head on his shoulder. Harry felt a pain in his heart. He would have to leave again in a month and he didn't know how long he'd be gone. He decided not to tell Hermione that yet though. He'd wait until the morning.
"I love you," He said again and turned the page of the photo album.
