Chapter 3

It had been almost three months since the death of Hermione's parents. All week she had awoke felling sick, on most mornings she was lucky if she made it to the bathroom before she got sick. Walking slowly down to the common room, Hermione wonders if she go she Madam Pomfrey about being sick.

i hear the ticking of the clock

I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight

No answer on the telephone

And the night goes by so very slow

Oh i hope that it won't end though

Alone

But what if it wasn't the flu; shad hadn't gotten her period since before her parents passed away. Two days ago she had sent an owl too a friend of hers back home too see if she could send her a muggle pregnancy test. She was hoping it would get here soon, the sooner she knew the sooner she could find away to deal with it. Coming too a stop in the common room, she noticed a small parcel sitting on the table were she normal sits to do her homework. Walking over to the table seeing her name writing on the front she grabbed the parcel and headed out of the portrait and head too moaning myrtle bathroom.

Entering the bathroom Hermione looks around and heads for the stall in the back, taking out the parcel she pulls it open and takes out the pregnancy test. Following the directions, Hermione stares blankly at the stick, as it turns pink, it was positive she was pregnant. Not realizing she wasn't alone in the bathroom, she broke down in sobs and chocked out, "oh god, how am I to tell Harry I'm pregnant." So wrapped up in her pain she didn't hear the other person slip out of the bathroom.

Till now i always got by on my own

I never really cared until i met you

And now it chills me to the bone

How do i get you alone

How do i get you alone

Hurrying thru the halls she couldn't wait to send a message to Lucius Malfoy, letting him know that the famous Harry Potter got the mud blood Granger pregnant. The dark Lord would surely be happy with her. Walking quickly around the corner she ran into someone. Looking up she smiled a sweet smile right at the boy who lived.

You don't know how long i have wanted

To touch your lips and hold you tight

Helping her up Harry said, " Sorry about that Cho, how are you this morning?"

Smiling and taking his hand into her she replied " much better now that I've run into you Harry."

Neither where aware of the young woman who just came out of the bathroom. Seeing Harry talking to Cho, Hermione walked past without looking at either of them, keeping her head down so they couldn't see her tears.

You don't know how long i have waited

And i was going to tell you tonight

But the secret is still my own

And my love for you is still unknown

Alone

Noticing his friend Harry called after her "morning Hermione."

Without looking up Hermione said softly "morning" and keep walking down the hall.

Watching his friend walk away Harry felt sad. They seemed to have grown apart over the last few months ever since they had sleep together. Turning back to Cho, Harry smiled. Last year Harry and Cho had done on a date, but things hadn't turned out the way he had hoped.

Till now i always got by on my own

I never really cared until i met you

And now it chills me to the bone

How do i get you alone

How do i get you alone

How do i get you alone

How do i get you alone

Alone, alone

"Harry, the ball that we are having in two weeks right before graduation, well I was wondering if you would go with me." Cho said smiling.

Smiling Harry wasn't sure if he should say yes or not. He knew he should say no and spend the time with Ron and Hermione since the day after was there last day here. When he was about to say no the only thing that seemed to come out was a yes that he would like to take her.

Taking his arm Cho turned them towards the great hall were she could hang on him and cause that mud blood more pain.

Say so long baby

Turn around

Loneliness hits you

Emptiness closes you down

Alone in his car

You think of his name

Took part of you with him

It won't be the same

You love to relive

The love that he gives

You love to recall

Sitting across from Ron trying not to be sick while he stuffed his face with all kinds of food, Hermione could hear Cho and Harry coming towards their table. Grabbing her books Hermione got up from the table to leave when she heard the Headmaster call out her name.

Looking towards the head table she saw the headmaster Albus Dumbledore walking towards her.

The rush of it all

He woos you so sweet

Then kicks on the heat

You're willing, you're hot

Give him all that you got

Lonely woman gets so cold

With no loverboy to hold

One more night she's on her own

Nobody meant to sleep alone

"Miss Granger I was hoping I could have a few moments of your time." Albus said coming to stand next to her.

Looking at the headmaster, Hermione said "of course Headmaster".

Following the headmaster out the door on the side of the great hall they walked to an empty room were they would be able to talk privately.

"Hermione my dear, with whats happened with your parents, it will not be safe for you to go home to your relatives, I know this time has been very hard for you, but I want you to know that your more then welcome to stay here at Hogwarts over the summer and Mr., and Mrs. Weasley also would love to have stay with them."

You're waiting too hard, counting the days

Till he comes home to lift you out of this haze

You dream all day, climb the walls all night

No satisfaction till he makes it right

So hard to kick

The memory addicting you

So hard to lick

The romance afflicting you

You love to relive the love that he gives

Hermione could not stop the tears from falling. She couldn't go home, and there was no way she could stay with the Weasley.

"Hermione dear, whats wrong? You know you can tell me anything at all " Albus said softly.

Sobbing she chocked out, " I can't tell anyone headmaster, if I did you would make me leave and I don't have anywhere to go."

"My dear nothing you could tell me would make me send you away." Albus replied trying to calm the young woman.

You love to recall the rush of it all

Lonely woman gets so cold

With no loverboy to hold

One more night she's on her own

Nobody meant to sleep alone

"I'm going to have a baby" she said unable to look at the headmaster.

Unable to keep the sadness from his eyes Albus said " Hermione dear I want you to calm down. I'm not going to send you away, this is your home, now dry those tears and don't worry everything will be all right. Now I want you to go to class and let me worry about this."

"Please headmaster don't tell Harry or Ron." She pleaded.

"Don't worry dear, I will only need to talk to Professor McGonagall, and you may want to go see Poppy, she will be able too help with the sickness when it comes."

"Headmaster, don't you want to know who the father is?" Hermione asked

"When you're ready my dear you can tell me." Albus said moving towards the door.

"Its Harry." She said quietly.

Nodding his head he walked out of the empty classroom leaving her to her thoughts.
