Chapter 7: The Ultra-Sound
The sun poured in through the windows of the Gryffindor common room and feel upon Hermione's skin, as usual. She had fallen asleep at one of the tables after hours of deep thought.
"Wake up!" shouted Christine from the portrait hole.
"Ahhh! Caroline!" Hermione screamed as she came awake. "Don't do that! Christine's lip trembled.
"I'm not Caroline…."
"No, you're not. Its just a name I decided on for the baby."
"Sure it is…" Hermiones face frowned.
"What do you want? It's Saturday, don't you people ever rest?"
"I dunno. Maybe. Anyway, Madame Pomfery asked me to tell you to see her at some time or other."
"Did she suggest a time?"
"No."
"Did she suggest a time?"
"No."
"Did-Madam-Pomfery-suggest-a-time?"
"Yes." Hermione sighed. Good, she thought, now I know how to get proper answers out of her.
"Tell , me the time."
"I can't remember, Lady Gretchen."
"I am not Lady Gretchen."
"Freedom of speech! Muahaha!" Christine yelled, before dashing out the portrait hole, leaving Hermione to give off another deep sigh and wonder what in the world Madame Pomfery wanted now. But she still got up and changed, thinking it'd be best to go right away. Se she walked through the corridors, she decided the nurse probably had something to tell her about her pregnancy. Maybe she wasn't pregnant after all…. Nah.
Hermione had been pregnant a little over 2 months now, and had gotten her period during either, an obvious sign that she was indeed pregnant. Magical pregnancy tests are never wrong anyway.
"Hermione!" called Madame Pomfery from the door of the Hospital Wing just as Hermione was approaching it.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes, yes, come in!" Hermione did as she was told and walked in, allowing Madam Pomfery to close the door before she took a quick look around.
"Do you think that will help? The door was shut last time and Katy still managed to hear everything."
"Oh well, that's not the subject. You need to go to the muggle world for an ultra-sound. I'd gladly do it myself, but an ultra-sound thingy is a mechanical device. It wouldn't function here, so I set an appointment for you at the gynecologists office.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because Madame Pomfery commands it."
"Oh great…" muttered Hermione as she saw three pairs of eyes looking through the crack at the side of the door. She recognized them as Christine's, Harry's, and Monica's. She only feared what would happen now.
"Not a word to Katy!" she barked.
"Uh-oh…" Monica said. "We already sent Ron to tell her."
"Marvelous. I must stop her! I HAVE TO TELL DRACO BEFORE SHE DOES!… AGAIN!" Instantly, Hermiones legs reacted as she rammed into the door, knocking her three friend over, and continuing on at a high pace in search of her fiancée. She ran straight to the Great Hall, since it was lunch time, and when she arrived she could see Katy on the opposite side. Her legs sprang into action again and so did Katy's, both of the girls heading for the Slytherin table. Closer and closer they neared. Then, there they were, the both of them standing in front of Draco, panting for breath. Hermione was the first to recover though, and grabbed some apple sauce, which she licked a bit of before throwing it at Katy. Katy dodged, and instead the blob hit a Ravenclaw. A food fight broke out.
In all the chaos, Katy had been engulfed by food of all sorts of foods and was struggling to fight back like a soldier at war, looking like a complete wild woman, and giving Hermione the chance to lead Draco out of the hall. She looked into his pudding covered face.
"We have to go see a gynecologist tomorrow, "she announced with a sense of triumph in her voice.
"Oh, ok."
"Ok? OK?! Is that all you have to say?!?! I went through all that to tell you and you say ok?! Aren't you surprised? I got covered in food just to tell you myself for goodness sake!"
"I feel special now, heeheehee…. Oh, and I am surprised, its just that Monica already told me." Hermiones face dropped. Draco tried to change the subject. "So where is this gynecologist creature?" Hermiones droopy face was instantly firmly replaced by a scolding look.
"In the muggle world."
"The muggle world?" Draco asked, his eyes wide with fear.
"… Uh-huh…"
"But Santa's lurks there! HE'S GONNA FIND ME!" He ran faster then Hermione had, out of the castle and into the forest. Nearby, Christine, Adele, and Monica had overheard the conversation.
"Did you hear that?" Adele whispered in excitement.
"Yup, I've got pretty good hearing." Monica boasted.
"Santa's in the muggle world!"
"GASP! WE MUST GO!" Christine said, as the three girls scurried off to their dorm to plan. Hermione gave off another of her deep and common sighs as Kat walked out of the Great Hall.
"Kat!" yelled Hermione.
"What?" she replied, her mouth full with a PB&J sandwich. She swallowed it, and then licked her fingers.
"Can you come with me to see a gynecologist? Draco's afraid of the muggle world."
"Well, I really think Draco should go with you. How about I persuade him? Where is he?"
"He ran off." Hermione sighed again.
"Oh… well, I'll use the amazing Kats powers later then. I'll come with you, but you two are going into the examination room on your own. You don't need Mama Kat all the time."
Hermione smiled before saying, "Thanks."
* * *
No sun came in through any of the Hogwarts windows, as I usually tell you. The sky was covered in a thick layer of clouds. As usual, Hermione's sleep was disturbed by one of the other girls. Today it was Adele; whose two sweet eyes loomed over the top of the foot of Hermiones bed. She slowly lowered her head so that it was no longer in vision. A few seconds later, she jumped out from the left side of the bed, yelling, "Wake up! Today's that thingy!" Hermione sat up in shock, before scolding Adele.
"What are you doing, scaring me like that?!"
"Waking you up, of course!" Hermione gave her a face.
"What time is it?" she demanded.
"9:15 in the bloop." Hermione sighed, wishing Adele would reply normally. She wondered if the Chrissie technique, as she had named it, would work on Adele.
"Is-it-the-afternoon-or-the-morning?"
"What the frank? I no understands your accent."
"I guess I'll just have to guess its morning."
"What time is your appoi…. apoi…"
"Appointment?"
"Ya, that."
"It's in the afternoon."
"Haha! I got you! Now we know!"
"Know what?"
"What time you have to go visit the baby person! MONICA MUST KNOW!" She ran out, leaving Hermione furious with herself as she realized the grand mistake she had just made. It doesn't matter anyway, she thought, they would've followed me anyway.
She stepped out of bed, deciding she might as well get ready, and took a shower. Some time later, she appeared in the Gryffindor common room, fully dressed and completely awake, beautiful as ever.
"Good morning…" she muttered.
"Good morning." Everyone mumbled back. Hermione saw Kat in the corner, her nose in a book, and walked over.
"Did you persuade Draco?" she asked as she sat next to Kat.
"Well, of course! Kat never fails!" Hermiones eyes grew wide. "Sorry, I'm just excited… But Kat really never fails…"
"Uh-huh, so how'd you do it?"
"I simply explained to him that Santa was in a heavily guarded cell at Azkaban for chocolate heists."
"And why exactly did you have to go with that story?"
"Because I liked it, duh!" Kat answered, a grin on her face.
"Whatever… should we get going? It's a long way into the muggle world."
"I suppose. I'll get Draco, you get the brooms." The two girls stood up and walked out of the common room to go and do what they needed to. Kat found Draco eating breakfast still, and with some effort, pulled him away from his bacon and eggs.
Meanwhile, Hermione walked to the broom shed and found two brooms. A normal one, and an extra long one with a large baby seat attached at the back. When Kat and Draco arrived, she handed Kat the normal broom, and forced Draco into the baby seat. She then got onto the front of the baby seated broom and kicked off, shortly followed by Kat, and completely aware of Monica, Adele, and Harry following on their own brooms behind them.
Two hours later, Hermione was the first to land outside of Jordan Medical Center. Then came Kat, her landing a bit off, and then Harry, Monica, and Adele zoomed over them to the back of the building, where they would enter, still thinking Hermione was unaware of them. Kat had placed a clever little freezing charm on the area to give them time to land, and they were already wearing muggle clothes.
Hermione lifted her right leg over the side of the broom, before walking to the back of it and unbuckling Draco. The three walked into the medical center, and Kat stuffed the brooms into a nearby storage closet before removing the charm.
The building suddenly burst into life as everyone inside suddenly began moving again. Hermione made her way through the hustle and bustle toward the receptionist.
"Where is Dr. Night?" she asked.
"9th floor, 3rd door to your left." The receptionist replied, not looking up from her work. Hermione didn't bother to thank the woman, since she hadn't bothered to look at her pretty face, and instead turned around back to Kat and Draco to tell them what she had learned. Then they walked to the elevator. When it shot up, Draco gave a cry of joy, raising his arms happily. The other people in the elevator stared at them. Hermione ignored the looks and minded her own business, whereas Kat smiled back a large smile that said something along the lines of "What are you looking at?", making them look away quickly.
When the elevator came to a stop, Draco ran out, but Kat reacted rapidly and pounced him.
"Muahaha!" Kat shouted, laughing on top of Draco, "You can't get away from me!"
"Awww…" Draco said. Hermione looked at the two on the floor before turning sharply to the left and counting the doors up to the third one. She stopped in front of it and looked at the silver plate with the words "Dr. Night, Gynecology" on it. Then she called to Draco and Kat, before entering with them. They sat down awkwardly with all the other pregnant women in the room.
"Ms? I need you to fill out a few forms." Said another receptionist from her window. Hermione stood up slowly, realizing it was her, and grabbed a clipboard with a pen attached along with a few papers and sat down to fill them out. A little bit later, she returned the clipboard and forms, and a little while after the receptionist spoke again. "Ms. Granger? Mr. Malfoy? The doctor will see you now." Hermione and Draco stood up and walked through a door into a medical room. "Please put on this gown," said a nurse before leaving. Hermione undressed, and changed into the gown , then lay down on a chair. In front of the c hair, there was a TV with a computer attached on a table.
The doctor came in a few minutes later and said, "Good afternoon, Ms. Granger." Dr. Selena Night was a woman with long black braided hair, and a white medical coat on. "Let's begin." The doctor put a cream on Hermiones stomach and then passed an odd device over it. On the screen appeared a black and white image.
"Do you see it?" she asked.
"Oh, yes…" Hermione said, completely speechless. Dr. Night left the happy parents alone to see their unborn child. Both their eyes were lit up, their mouths wide open, when Hermione suddenly broke out into tears.
"What's wrong?" asked Draco sincerely.
"I can't see it!"
"See what?!"
"The baby!"
"Why didn't you tell the doctor?"
"'Cause I didn't want her to think I was a bad mother!"
"Oh.." Draco said as he pointed at the screen. "That's it."
" Awww…. WELL I SAW THAT!" She stared at the screen, at a small peanut shaped thing, when the doctor suddenly came back. "Sorry, time's up!" She left to let Hermione change, and little bit after the couple had left a figure in a brown coat, sunglasses, and a hat showed up, her face completely invisible.
"Are you my next patient?" Asked Dr. Night brightly. The figure said nothing before taking out a plate with a fried chicken on it. The doctor gasped before shouting, "MEAT" and running toward the plate as the figure dropped the plate to the floor where the doctor began to tear at it like a wolf. The person took off her disguise to reveal Christine.
Slowly, she walked to the screen. "NEPHEW! NEICE! WHATEVER! MY OWN LITTLE THING!… COME OUT NOW!" she shouted at the screen, while holding it on with her hands and shaking it furiously. Just then the doctor finished her plate and stood up looking completely normal.
"Hold it right there!" she shouted, making Christine react by placing her arms in the air. "The baby's not in there, silly! It's not even born yet! Now get out of my office." She said flatly. Christine nodded sadly, before leaving looking completely miserable and muttering, "No baby…" Dr. Night was left in the dark of her office to lick the plate when she suddenly froze as the Hogwarts students were about to take off, the days excitement over.
