Hermione stood in the Hospital Wing, weeks later, with Ginny. Both had been feeling a bit under the weather lately, and they couldn't understand why. (*COUGH*) They looked at each other, and then the nurse as she approached. Madame Pomfrey had already given them several tests, and they were just waiting for the results. Seeing the Nurse's pale, grim face, the two exchanged nervous glances.
"Pregnant. Both of you." She snapped, handing them several different types of potions. "Never have I seen such...no, I won't tell the Headmaster...yet. Here's the instructions on taking the potions." She looked over sharply as Lavender walked in. "You too?! I suppose you're pregnant too." She didn't even bother taking the tests this time, just shoved the potions at Lavender and shooed them all out. Grumbling to herself, she turned and began preparing a few more cold medicines...like she'd been doing when Hermione and Ginny had interrupted. "Stupid Teenagers...can't keep their hidden parts to themselves..."
Hermione, Ginny, and Lavender exchanged guilty looks. Everyone else was at breakfast... "All of a sudden...I'm not feeling that hungry..." Hermione said, resting a hand on her stomach. The other two agreed without a word, and the three walked back to the Library. Hermione laid down on her and Draco's couch and sighed. "Well...This is certainly..."
"Unexpected."
"Unusual."
"Unwanted..."
The three girls said at once. Then they sighed and looked up as their guys walked in. "Hey Mya! I saved you some toast." Draco said. All three of the girls sitting there turned pale, and fled to their respective bathrooms. "Was it something I said.?" The others could just shrug.
Later that day, Hermione walked back down the stairs with Draco. He was quite pale...he could still remember the way she'd looked at him, almost as if she was afraid he'd kill her. "I'm Pregnant." She'd said. Well...let's just say the Prince of Slytherin lost his dignity for an entire thirty minutes...sputtering and choking on his own words, before he finally got out how happy he was and how perfect it'd be.
Men.
They know nothing...
They had no idea how hard this was going to be.
Stupid men...Hermione sighed and rested her head in Draco's lap as they sat on their couch. "So...are you keeping it?" He asked Ginny and Harry and Ron and Lavender. The other two men nodded, oblivious to their girlfriends' stricken looks. "Great! Hey Harry, we need to get together to go to the...gift shop...during the next Hogsmeade trip. Didn't you say you wanted to get that...thing...for your friend back home?"
Harry blinked a few times before catching on. His mouth formed a little "O" and he nodded. "Yeah, I did, Draco." He grinned. "Thanks for reminding me." The girls all rolled their eyes at their not-so-subtle messages back and forth.
Men...
They know nothing.
