This is a short chapter. I wanted to split this one and the next chapter so that I didn't have one extremely long chapter. ~ ariel and flounder Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling. I don't own any of these characters. Just playing with them.

Chapter 9 The First Visit

~ The next evening, the Hospital Wing ~

"Hermione, I am scared. What's going to happen," asked Ginny. "I don't know, I haven't had time to research it. Come on, let's go in." The girls walked into the hospital wing and were greeted by Madam Pomfrey.

"Girls I want you to meet Madam Snape. She's a certified ob-mediwitch and is going to be helping you with your pregnancies. I can see the look in your eyes, Miss Weasley, yes she is related to Professor Snape." Madam Pomfrey explained. "Hello. I am indeed related to Professor Snape, as I am his sister. More importantly, I want you to think of me as a friend. I am always available to you or to the fathers, for questions or even just to talk. Right now though, I want to look over you and your babies and just check on your general health."

Hermione and Ginny both were helped onto beds, but the curtain that normally would separate patients was open. Madam Snape's wants passed over them several times and then she left the room for a few minutes. When she returned, she pulled a stool between the two beds, sat down, and started talking to both girls.

"Well, both of you have very healthy babies. You are also healthy, but I want you both to take a potion that I will have Severus prepare for you once a week. This potion will take care of your pre-natal care. If neither of you has any questions for me, I will let you go back to your dorms. If you need me, your professors now how to reach me and I can be here very quickly. Well then, good night ladies." Madam Snape walked out of the room, and the movement of her robes reminded Hermione very much like her brothers.
