Harry had taken the news very well and even offered to carry Hermione's books everyday to class. Hermione was approaching her due date rapidly, Ron was rushing round the common room getting everything ready even though there was nothing to get ready, Hermione just thought it was nerves. When Hermione first discovered that she was pregnant she had always said she wanted to have the baby in Gryffindor Tower, Molly Weasley was going to be with her at her side. It was infact just one normal evening Ron and Harry were playing a game of exploding snap against Fred and George, Hermione was sitting reading her Potions homework when all of a sudden.. ' Uh oh' said Hermione Ron turned around,' What is it?' 'My waters broken' As soon as Hermione said those words the room went silent, Ron looked very confused. Fred saw his confused look. ' She's going into labour you idiot!' said Fred. Hermione now really started to panic, the pain was so excruciating. Ron rushed off and wrote a letter to his mother, saying 2 simple words on it ' its time' as quick as a flash Mrs Weasley appeared in front of the fire of the Gryffindor Common Room. ' Ok now Hermione dear just relax you'll be fine' said Molly soothingly. Hermione was in so much pain that she was squeezing Ron's hand so hard that Ron almost thought it was broken. Hermione had quite an audience she had Harry, Fred, George, Ron, Molly Weasley and now was joined by Ginny and Lavender. Hermione just wanted it to be over and done with, when Molly said' Hermione dear you've got a long way to go, the baby's not ready to be born yet, so you can just relax for a few hours' Hermione just wanted to push like crazy, she couldn't stand this pain for much longer. Everyone kept re-assuring Hermione that it would be over soon and the pain would ease, the thing was it wasn't easing it was getting worse. Hermione was just lying down listening to Ron tell a story about 'his' childhood, when she felt something she had never experienced before. ' Molly something's happening ' said Hermione in a high voice Molly smiled, ' Ok Hermione its time' A huge sigh of relief went through Hermione but the pain she was experiencing was nothing like she felt before. ' Ok dear now when I say push, I want you to push ok?' Hermione nodded she was in too much pain to say anything else. ' Push!' shouted Molly. The pain took over Hermione, she screamed and screamed and tears were streaming down her face. Hermione heard Ron say 'your doing great' and also felt Harry take hold of Hermione's other hand. The hours passed and passed and there was still now sign of a baby. Hermione was getting pale, and Molly was getting worried. ' Come on Hermione just one more push you can do it'
