Chapter 14
Hermione's confession
Weeks went by and Hermione still wasn't her old self.
The Christmas Holidays were over and lessons had started again. It was now time for the seventh-years to prepare for their N.E.W.T.'s , but nothing could take Hermione out of her cocoon, which she had spun for herself after breaking up with Severus.
She became more depressed by the day and even her friends couldn't cheer her up. She hadn't eaten a decent meal since that day and she looked famished.
One morning at breakfast Isabel had become very mad at her friend.
"Come on, Hermione, you've got to eat. You don't want to tell us what caused you so much grief, but it can't be THAT bad for starving yourself to death".
Hermione felt miserable, but she knew something that her friends didn't.
At first she didn't want to eat because of her pangs of love, but now she had another reason. She was sick all day long; even the thought of food could make her throw up.
Hermione had noticed she hadn't had her monthly bleeding and she'd started to worry that one thing had to do with the other.
She had went to the library to find something about a pregnancy-spell and had pronounced it, and now she knew fur sure; she was pregnant!!!
As she had made love with a man only one time in her life, she knew it was his child, but she couldn't tell him. She didn't know how he would react, she was afraid he would reject her and their baby.
But this secret was too heavy to bear alone; she had to tell someone. And whom could she tell better than Isabel?
***
Isabel and Harry were making their homework in the Common Room as Hermione approached them.
"Isabel, can I talk with you, please?"
Isabel nodded. "Of course, Hermione. Can we talk here or do you want to talk with me in private? We can go to your room if you like?"
"Yes, that's a better place."
The girls walked to Hermione's room and settled themselves on the bed. Isabel pulled an arm around Hermione and hugged her.
"I've missed you, Hermione. I'm glad you want to talk about it."
"I missed you too, I'm sorry Isabel, I wasn't a very good friend for you, but now I'm prepared to tell you what's wrong, but I'm afraid that you won't be my friend anymore after I'm ready"
"Of course not, silly, I'm always your friend. Come on, tell me what's wrong"
Hermione took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant," she said.
Isabel rolled almost of the bed, unbelieving what she was told.
"Hermione!! Who..- Why .- But you."
Hermione raised her hand.
"That's not the worst part, Isabel. The worst part is that your father is the father of my baby"
"What!!! You had sex with my dad? With Professor Snape ? Oh, heavens.."
"Please, Isabel, don't be mad at me. We did it before we knew he's your dad. As soon as we found out he was your father, we ended our relationship" said Hermione and she started to cry.
"Does he know this?"
"No"
"Why don't you tell him?"
"Because I'm afraid to tell him. I don't want to put him up with a baby, he's not even used to being your father.."
Isabel looked at Hermione and her jaw dropped.
"Hermione" she said slowly, "Could it be possible that YOU are my mum? I mean, I can't remember anything else, even not if I were an only child or not, but it might be a possibility, right?"
Hermione looked at Isabel. She hadn't thought about that!!! Isabel continued: "I think it's better to see Professor Dumbledore now. Maybe we could arrange another blood test to find out if you're my mother."
"This is so weird!!!"
"Yeah, I know, but wouldn't it be great!!! I couldn't think of a better mother than you, you're my best friend"
"I think you're right, we should see Professor Dumbledore and ask for another blood-test. He should know I'm pregnant anyway".
Isabel and Hermione left the room and went to see Professor Dumbledore in his office.
As they made their way through the corridors, the nearly walked into Professor Snape, who was in a very bad mood. The expression on his face softened a bit as he saw his daughter. He was used to the idea of having a daughter right now, and as to say, he was so proud of her, she really remembered him of himself when he was young.
"Please, Isabel, Miss Granger, watch out were you're going. What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be in your Common Room, making your homework?" he said, refusing to look at Hermione.
He had tried the best he could to ignore Hermione, he couldn't help he had still feelings of love for her.
"We have to see Professor Dumbledore, father," she said, giving Severus a big hug. "It's very important"
"OK then, but you've got to be in your room at nine. Professor McGonagall isn't very easy with law-breakers" he said and disappeared.
"Wow, that was close. I'm glad he didn't ask why we have to see Dumbledore" Hermione said, but saw her friend's eyes twinkle.
"I think it was rather nice to see my parents together"
The door,which revealed the entrance to Professor Dumbledore's office, opened as they said "marshmallow" and they walked up the staircase to the office.
Professor Dumbledore sat at his desk with three cups of tea and a plate of cookies in front of him, as he was expecting them.
"Come in, girls, and have a seat. What can I do for you?" he said to the both of them, but he looked at Hermione.
She looked rather unconfident; she didn't know where to begin.
"You're a little out of character lately, Hermione" he said, as to give her an opening.
Hermione nodded. "I know, Sir, and there's a reason for that. I'm pregnant" she said and bend her head.
"Well, well, that's something else then expected, but it explain a lot. Do you know who the father of your child is?"
"It's Professor Snape, Sir"
For the next ten seconds, who looked hours to Hermione, it was very quiet in the room.
"Does he know about this?"
"No, he doesn't. No one does. I've just told Isabel about it and she said.- "
"I think it's great, Professor Dumbledore" Isabel said enthusiastically. "Maybe Hermione is my mother, and then we know where I come from"
"That's true, Isabel. But I think Hermione should see Professor Snape and tell him the news before we do another blood test. He should be involved".
Hermione sighed. She knew Professor Dumbledore was right, but she really was afraid of Severus' reaction about her pregnancy.
