Chapter Eleven:

"We need to talk" Hermione said quietly, "and you might want to sit down."

Snape led her into the room and they sat in two armchairs across from each other. He looked worried, and it took all Hermione had to look at him. She took another deep breath, and he couldn't wait anymore.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Severus, I--I'm pregnant."

"you're pregnant?" he whispered disbelievingly.

"Y-Yes."

"Oh my God!"

"Well, what are you thinking? Is this good or bad?" Hermione asked nervously.

"It's great!" Snape jumped up and hugged her.

"Oh, Thank GOD!" Hermione laughed with relief.

"Did you think I'd be angry?" he asked.

"Well, you don't like kids very much…" Hermione muttered.

"But Hermione this is different! This is my kid! I am going to have a kid!" Snape sat back down, shaking his head.

"So, you're ok with this?"

"Yes!" Snape laughed, "Of course! This is the perfect time to.."

"To what?"

Snape pulled a small box out of his pocket and knelt in front of her. His hands were shaking as he opened the box. A silver ring with one diamond and engraved flowers and vines appeared. Hermione gasped.

"I've been waiting for the right time…"

"OhmyGodOhmyGodOhmyGodOhmyGod" Hermione was whispering very quickly.

"Hermione Ann Granger, will you marry me?"

"YES! Hermione squeaked, jumping up and hugging him.

===============================================================

"YOU'RE WHAT?" Harry and Ron yelled together.

Hermione and Snape had made a trip to The Burrow to get a few of her things. All of her friends were again gathered around d the kitchen table. Fred and George were staring at her, open mouthed, as were Bill and Charlie. Ginny was grinning, and Harry and Ron had jumped up from the table.

"I'm getting married." Hermione grinned.

"Hermione, that's great!" Harry yelled.

"Terrific!" Ron smiled.

"EEEEKK!" Ginny squeaked.

"Unexpected." Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie said together.

"Well, the wedding has to be soon I don't want to be a fat bride." Hermione laughed, everyone except for Ginny just stared at he blankly.

"Oh, didn't I mention it? I'm pregnant." Hermione said casually.

"AHHHHHHHH! We're gonna have a little Hermy running around!" Ron yelled happily.

"That's great!" Harry added.

"And also unexpected." Fred and George muttered together.

"I think you should name it Bill." Bill joked.

"Charles is a wonderful name." Charlie grinned.

"And if it's a girl?" Snap smirked.

"how about Virginia?" Ginny giggled.

"Elizabeth." Hermione said, "my mother's name…before…"

"The War." Snape finished for her.

"Yeah, Hermione whispered, tears forming in her eyes.

"Elizabeth is perfect." Snape comforted her quietly, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Really?"

"Elizabeth Ann Snape." he murmured in her ear. Hermione nodded and he put his other arm around her waist right before she buried her face in his chest. They were quiet for a few moments, until they noticed everyone else in the room watching. Hermione blushed through he silent tears, but Snape just chose to ignore it. Ginny, however, wasn't about to let him off that easy.

"You two are so CUTE!" She squeaked.

"Oh, God!" Hermione and Snape muttered together.
