December 2000

"That's it for today class.Have good holidays. You are dismissed." Professor Harry James Potter said to his class. He watched them leave, then gathered his things. Harry was anxious to get home to Hermione, his wife of almost two and a half years and Neville, his five month old son.He hadn't seen either of them since Halloween, when he had came home on the weekend, to take Neville Trick-or Treating for the first time. Leaving the class room he made sure all the students were gone. He walked to Dumbledore's office, to let the headmaster know he was leaving, then walked to the station in Hogsmeade. He was soon on the way home.

Hermione Potter, holding her son Neville in her lap, looked at her doctor in disbelief. "I...I..I'm.....pregnant?"She asked. "Yes, Mrs. Potter, you are."Hermione thought back to the previous two weeks. She had thought it was just the flu-it had been going around. But she had been the same way when she was expecting Neville. "How far?"she asked. "About a month and a half, I'd sa."Hermione looked down at her son, who was at the moment playing with her necklace. She hadn't expected this a few days ago when she had visited the doctor for flu treatment. She had been worried when they called her back yesterday. But this was terrific neverhteless. "Well little guy,"she said to Neville while getting ready at home to go and meet Harry,"Looks like you're going to be a big brother." Neville gigled.Hermione sighed. "I hope your father takes it that well."

That evening Hermione and Neville visited Kings Cross Station and crossed the barrier to get to Platform 9and 3/4. The train was delayed for some reason and Neville started getting fussy, so she walked pushing the stroller up and down the store fronts, window shopping.As she walked past a card shop, something caught her eye. She went in and came back out putting a bag under blankets in Neville's stroller. Just as she got to a bench she saw the Hogwarts Express pull in. Hermione pulled Neville on to her lap and started to look for Harry as students and teachers filed off. After a few minutes had passed with no sign of Harry, she started worrying. All of a sudden someone put their hands over her eyes and Neville, seeing who it was, giggled."Guess Who," a familiar voice said. "Harry,"she replied delighted and relieved. Harry walked around and picked up Neville. "You're heavier than I remembered. What has your mother been feeding you? "Baby food, milk, and juice.A lot of it."Hermione said standing. "Hey honey,"Harry said, kissing her.

They apprated home. Over dinner Harry told of the going ons at Hogwarts. Gryffindor looked good for the Quidditch cup. Hermione debated telling her news to Harry and decided to wait until morning. The next morning Rebecca Weasley's head appeared in the Potter's fireplace. Rebecca wanted Hermione to go and finish some last minute shopping in Diagon Alley with her. Ron wanted to come over and catch up with Harry and they decided to keep the kids home with them. As they sat down later at the Leaky Cauldron Rebecca asked,"How did your doctor's appointment go the other day?" "Okay" Hermione replied. "What was wrong with you?She asked."Was it the flu?" Hermione shook her head. "No, it wasn't the flu.There is something wrong with me though. But it will go away after a while." Rebecca looked confused. "What?"Hermione laughed.Quietly she asked her friend"Don't tell Harry, okay?" Rebecca nodded, leaning in close to hear the secret. "I'm pregnant,"Hermione whispered. Rebecca leaned back in her seat."Hermione, that's great! When are you telling Harry?" "I haven't decided. Christmas I think. I was going to tell him last night but I chickened out."

A/N:I know it's short but it's been a while since I posted anything.
