Hermione woke up in the hospital wing. She looked around seeing Harry and Ron sleeping. Madame Pomfrey came in and started barking out orders to which Hermione couldn't see.

"Are you ok dear?" she said checking her over.

"I am fine" she managed out then thinking of what had happened "no I am not fine" she began to cry silently.

"The baby is ok, but I think you will deliver before your full term"

"Why?"

"You were having contractions we thought you were going to have the baby tonight"

"But I am only five months along"

"Well it looked like it," she said checking her pulse for the fourth time that night.

"Hermione!" she heard Ron's voice and looked to the side of her smiling at her best friends.

"Are you ok?" he said while kissing her forehead.

She nodded as more tears came down her cheeks.

"Its ok, we'll get you out of here as soon as we can!" Harry said while grabbing her hand.

She smiled weakly, and what came next she couldn't remember....

*******

The next two months past rather slowly for Hermione, but she was glad to be going home. She past all her tests with flying colors, and wasn't the slightest bit sad she would never come back. Now that she was seven months along, things were rather uncomfortable for her. She hadn't heard from Draco since that day in the great hall. She figured he was either dead or living it up with Pansy.

Closing her trunk she looked at her bed, remembering all the love making that had happened there. Smiling slightly she looked around at her wonderful room. God was she going to miss this place...

She found herself sitting on the balcony when a knock came to her door. She opened it finding Harry and Ron waiting for her.

"Ready?" Ron said while grabbing her trunk.

"Give me a minute?"

"Sure" they smiled walking out closing the door silently behind her. Tears began to fall down her face. How could she be so stupid, when she was so in love? She realized now that she hated herself for ever saying she didn't love Draco.

With one last glance she closed the door, leaving all her memories behind. She walked down to the great hall with Harry and Ron, waiting for the last meal, and Dumbledore's speech.

He rose looking over the hall of chattering students.

"This year has been a wonderful, some of which may not think, but looking over the last seven years of your life, you accomplished in finding out who you are. Challenges we will face everyday, and those that do not bring you down, make you stronger" he smiled at Hermione who felt a slight happier. "So as you look back think you lived the way you wanted too, we will miss you and enjoy your life, you will find that living on your own is not as hard as it seems, so make us proud, become the best witches and wizards we will know of the age!" The crowd cheered and people began to whistle.

"For those seventh years, let your final feast began with happiness and love, knowing that someone out there cares for you!" he smiled looking over all the seventh years who stood clapping.

This was the hardest meal for them to eat. Excited and sad at the same time, knowing they would never come back starting to take effect. Hermione, Harry and Ron walked out smiling. Hermione was getting ready to walk out of the school and head down to the Hogwarts express when found Chase and Mckell waiting for her.

"Hey beautiful, didn't think you would get away without saying goodbye to us now would you?" he said while walking up and hugging her "I love Herm, you send me a pic of the baby"

"I will, you invite me to the wedding" She giggled and hugged Mckell.

"I will miss you so much, we became such good friends," she said while kissing Hermione's cheek.

Hermione smiled up at her weakly and then looked at Chase.

"Sweety just write him, the owl will find him, tell him how you feel"

"I can't, not after what I've done, how can you tell someone sorry after telling them you hate them, I mean hate is a strong word"

They both looked like they were going to cry and Mckell started too.

"Hermione I am going to miss you" she hugged Mckell tightly not wanting to let her innocence go.

"I got to go" She said sobbing and looking at them one last time.

"I love you Hermione" Chase said smiling.

"I love you too" she smiled truly and walked out followed by Harry and Ron.

On the train she thought over the previous year. It was a major roller coaster, finally she got what she wanted, but being stubborn never worked for her. Now the ride of her life was about to take place. She is going to be a little mommy, have responsibilities, and get a job to support the kid.

Tucking her hair behind her ear, she sighed closing her eyes and biting her lip. Things never came easy, she remembered growing up just wanting to be older, and now all she wanted to do was be a kid.

She looked around and saw Ron with his arm around Lavender, and Harry sitting alone. She frowned, wasn't he with Ginny?

"Where is Ginny?" she said to Harry.

"We broke up"

"WHAT!"

"I dumped her I didn't want to still be dating a part of Hogwarts when I was gone"

"Harry that's pretty shallow"

"You basically did the same thing" he snapped then regretted it "sorry Herm I"

"Don't, I know what I did, and I regret it more than anything, but should I dwell on the past?"

"No"

She turned her attention back to the window, blinking tears away she didn't know how she got through the whole train ride.

She stepped off the train finding her parents. She smiled slightly and walked to them without saying goodbye to her friends. They hugged her, her mother was crying and dad was looking rather worried. She couldn't look at him, not now, it was too much, she pushed her parents out of the train station, and they stepped into the car.

Driving home seemed like ages, until she saw her two story yellow home, creeping up from behind trees. She smiled stepping out and looking it over. She closed her eyes and saw a vision of herself at the age of five, running in her dad's arms. She opened her eyes and remembered she always had a happy loving child hood..
