Chapter three: Family problems, and Harry, who are you with!?!
Harry woke up the next morning to find that Ron was not in his bed. Harry was a bit worried for his friends. How was Hermione going to do school, and be pregnant at the same time. This would probably the hardest thing that Hermione was ever going to do. Harry ran threw the list of problems that they were going to have. First would be money. Neither of them had jobs, or a house. They were both still in school. Second would be families. Would they understand? Harry wasn't about to start thinking how Mrs. Weasley was going to handle this.
Harry walked down the spiral staircase and found both Ron and Hermione talking to each other. Hermione wasn't crying anymore so Harry figured that Ron and her found a way to cope with the problem. Harry heard Ron laugh at something and walked over to see what the two were discussing. "Haha you dork. You really expect me to do that for you? haha." said Ron wiping tears from his eyes. "What are you two talking about?" questioned Harry. "Well Ron here woke up extra early and went to the library for me" said Hermione grinning. "He got me this book about what to expect during your pregnancy." Said Hermione still grinning. "It says here that the daddy is supposed to be nice to the mummy or the mummy would go threw some strange moods wings." explained Hermione without wiping the smile from her face. "and DADDY here told me that I always have mood swings... anyway, it also said that Daddy is supposed to give Mummy massages on her feet and her back because mummy was making a whole nether human being." and Hermione put her hand down on her stomach. "Daddy said that he would die before he massaged my feet..." Hermione giggled a bit.
"Hey you guys im really Hungary. you got to eat last night, all I did was throw up. Can we please go and get breakfast!" said Hermione getting up from the chair. Ron got up too and started for Hermione. "hey, why don't you ever let me help you out, your making another witch or wizard in there, the least I can do is help you up from a chair." Said Ron with one arm around Hermione, she blushed a bit and smiled. "Harry are you coming with us?" said Hermione as they walked toward the portrait hole. "oh, yah, hold on!" said Harry running.
At breakfast Hermione helped herself to a little of everything. She was getting odd glances from a few of the girls. "Feel better Hermione, wow, you must be Hungary!" said Ginny as Hermione started on her porridge. Ron glared at his sister. "what do you care if she eats a lot, its normal! Most woman don't have to starve them self you know!" Said Ron angrily. A new first year named Tina looked at Hermione as she started on her toast. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" snapped Ron, and Tina looking harassed, turned the other way. "Ron, you don't need to yell at everyone that looks at me because I am being a pig" said Hermione thickly. "Your not being a pig 'mione, your just eating for two now." said Ron still glaring at those who were looking at Hermione. "Is it true what im hearing Weasley?" said a cold voice from behind them. "What's that supposed to mean 'Eating for two'?" Said Malfoy sneeringly. "You don't mean to tell me that you got this thing pregnant do you?" Said Malfoy grinning. "Ginny's eyes opened wide and looked at them in shock. "HERMIONE! YOUR PREGNANT! OH MY GOSH RON! YOUR GOING TO BE A DADDY!" squealed Ginny "Oh my! im going to be an auntie!"said Ginny as she started hugging Hermione.
Everyone from the other tables heard and were standing up to get a good look at Hermione and Ron. Ron had started to turn scarlet and Hermione started to sink in her chair. "Well so much for keeping it a secret" said Hermione as she buried her face in her hands again. "Oh... no..." Said Hermione as she started to turn green again and leapt up from the table to go to the bathroom."Ginny please go help her... keep her hair out of her face, or something." said Ron to Ginny. Ginny nodded and ran after Hermione. "Congrats man! I never would have thought you would be a dad... well this soon anyway. How far along is she?" said Lee. "About three weeks. We just found out last night. Why?" answered Ron as he looked around at all of the stareing faces. "Ronald Weasley, I need to see you in my office" Ron turned around and saw Professor McGonagall's face looking down at him. "I need to discuss some... things with you." she said as she helped Ron up and they left the great hall. "oh... man, I hope there is no rules against pregnant people in Hogworts, because it would stink if he got expelled just for that." Lee said as Ron was out of sight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Please sit Mr. Weasley" Said McGonagall's voice. "Go ahead have a biscuit." she said pointing to the basket on the front of her desk. "Sure." said Ron as he helped himself to a few. "we need to discus your... situation. You and Hermione are going to have to take a parenting class" Said McGonagall taking out some paper work. It starts a few weeks from now, and you will have to take it everyday until the week of the due date. Now you will need to read this material and have your parents and Hermione's parents sign this paper work." explained McGonagall as she handed Ron a stack of Paper work, and a few books. "I want that paper work back in a week." said McGonagall. "You may leave to your first class now. Here is your and Hermione's schedules, she is in Madam Pomfrey's's's office right now. You may go see her before your first class to discuss the things I went over with you." and then McGonagall got up and opened the door for Ron. "Oh, and good luck. Being a parent at such a young age is going to be difficult. but Hermione is smart, she will do just fine." said McGonagall. with disapproval clear in her voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ron headed to Madam Pomfrey's to see Hermione. He had finally gotten used to the idea of him being a dad, and now he was going to have to tell his parents. He was not sure how his mum was going to take it. He saw the image in his head of her screwing her face up and yelling at him from the top of her lungs 'HOW COULD YOU BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE! I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU MADE WISE CHOICES!' Yes, Ron could hear it now.
Before long he had finally made it to the infirmary. "Is Hermione in here?" asked Ron when he looked around and saw no one. From a back of the infirmary Ron could hear little beats. "Is that the baby?" Ron could hear Ginny say. "Yes, that's the baby." Said Madam Pomfrey. Ron continued to walk back until he saw Hermione, He saw that Madam Pomfrey had a little screen next to the bed and her wand was up to Hermione's belly. Ron looked at the screen and saw a two inch little thing. "Is that... is that the baby!?!" asked Ron in awe. Hermione smiled and nodded. "Yup. That's the baby!" Madam Pomfrey moved her wand away from Hermione's stomach and smiled at the two. "Looking good so far. Just stay healthy Hermione." Said Madam Pomprey and she walked off.
"Did you need to tell me something Ron?" asked Hermione as she pulled down her shirt and put back on her robes. "ummm... Professer McGonagall wanted to tell me that you and I have to be in a baby class" said Ron with a frown on his face. "Okay, thats fine. Then whats the matter?" Asked Hermione as she noticed that Ron wasnt very happy. "well, we have all of this paper work we have to fill out and our parents need to fill out some of it as well." Said Ron as he looked down at his feet. "Oh dear... I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Well its better sooner then later." Said Hermione as she took her scedual from Ron. "Well, after we are done with our classes today we can start on those dreadful letters." Said Hermione as she bent over to kiss Ron "It will be just fine."Hermione said as she smiled sweetly. "Umm, 'Mione, are you sure you feel well enough to go to our first class?" asked Ron as he looked at Hermione. Their first class was potions and he wasnt sure Snape would like it very much if she threw up all over his shoes. "Of course. Madam Pomprey gave me a potion that is supposed to make morning sickness not quite as... current... now I will know when I will get it, every three hours." Said Hermione as Ron helped her out of the bed. "I don't understand why they call it morning sickness, I mean, you throw up all day, not just in the morning." said Ron as He, Hermione and Ginny started off for their first period class.
***************************
"Okay, Harry and Hermione, how does this sound... 'Dearest Mum, I miss you quite a bit, school is going well. I just wanted to tell you that you looked absolutly radiant the day we left for Hogworts. Was that a new robe? Anyway, can you fill out these papers because Hermione and I need to take baby classes because Hermione is pregnant. Again, you are the most greatest mum on the fase of the earth. love Ronald, your only youngst son' Does that sound good?" Asked Ron as he looked hopeful at Harry and Hermione. "sounds good dear" said Hermione as she was finishing the third roll of parchment of her letter to her parents. Ron looked over to Harry and he heard a hacking cough that sounded much like "brown noser". "okay Im done, we can take these to the owlery right now before it gets dark" said Hermione as she got up from her chair and looked at Ron. "Oh, Ron, don't give me that look, we have to do this." Said Hermione as she shot Ron a very stern look, that of the one Professor McGonnagall usually wears. "Yes, I know..." said Ron looking down at his feet. Harry looked over at the two of them and sighed "Hey, I'll walk with you guys over to the owlery, I have nothing better to do." Said Harry getting up.
The three of them started over to the owlery. Ron, who was very quiet the whole way there broke the silence. "Um... Hermione, do we really have to tell them, I mean, we could forge their names on this and..." said Ron before Hermione broke off his words. "NO RON! we have to do this! don't you think im scared as well?!? My mum doesn't believe in this kind of thing untill after marrage, Im afraid that she will disown me, but thats not stoping me. Ron, we got our selfs into this mess, now we gotta at least tell the people that mean the most in our life" Said Hermione wipeing a tear from her eye. Harry look over at the two. He had no idea what they were feeling, but it must have been difficult. Harry decided that it would be best to leave the two alone so they could sort out their feelings. It wasn't like they noticed that he was there anyway. Harry was beginning to feel like the third wheel. Even though he understood that they weren't exactly in the best kind of position right now, but Harry was getting jealous about the whole Ron and Hermione bit. He liked them much better when they were friends.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry Started back toward the Gryffindore tower, lost in his thoughts when he ran into someone, knocking them down. "Oh, im sorry." He said as he bent down to help. Harry picked up a magazine called 'The Quibbler' and at once he realized who it was that he bumped into. "Oh, hey Luna, how was your summer holiday?" said Harry helping her to her feet. "Great! Daddy and I had an incredible time! how was yours?" asked Luna smiling. Harry thought a moment. The Dersleys were never that great. Actually he was always miserable now that he thought about it. Although last summer was a bit better, he missed the wizarding world, and his thoughts always drifted toward Sirius. Harry felt the pit in his stomach come back and realized that he had been quiet for quite some time. "It was alright I guess. Where are you going?" Asked Harry, desperate to change the subject. "Im heading to the library, I need to pick up something for professor Binns class. Would you like to come?" Asked Luna with hopeful eyes. Harry thought about how lonely she must be, everyone seemed to think that she was loony. Loony Luna. Harry thought about last year and how difficult it was for him because everyone thought that he was insane. Harry smiled and nodded.
They were both off toward the library talking about quidditch. Harry didn't realize how much Luna knew about quidditch. She was telling Harry about her favorite team (The Wimbourne Wasps) and how on her summer holidays she plays the chaser position when her cousins and her play quidditch. She was considering going for the Ravenclaw teem this year. Harry encouraged her. "That would be great." said Harry. They went to the library, Luna got her book and then they headed out.
Once they stopped at a window halfway between the Gryffindore tower and the Ravenclaw tower Luna looked out and smiled. "Oh look! a sunset. How beautiful! but I like it most at night. Did you know my mum named me Luna because she loved the beauty of night. She told me when I was little that the night she had me, there was a beautiful crescent moon, and she knew exactly what she wanted to name me. That was the first time I've ever told anyone that." She admitted as she continued to look out the window. Harry looked over at her. He had to admit that she was beautiful. Her long wavy blond hair was catching some of the gold of the sunset. She looked up and saw that Harry was looking at her. Both of them were locked in each others gaze for a few moments. Then Harry bent his head down and kissed her. Considering that it was his second time ever kissing someone, he felt right doing it, And if Luna was at all surprised at Harrys sudden impulse, she didn't show it.
Once they pulled away Harry noticed that Luna was blushing. "I... I um... I gotta head back. I have to do my homework. night." she said smiling and turned back around toward her tower. Harry watched as night fell and looked at the moon. Harry had to agree with Luna's mum, the moon really was beautiful.
**************************************************
Harry got back to the Gryffindore common room to see that Ron and Hermione were having a row. "OH SHUT-UP RON, IT IS NOT MY FAULT IT IS BOTH OF OUR FAULT" Yelled Hermione a little red in the face. "WHEN WELL YOU FACE THE FRIGGEN REALITY THAT BOTH OF US ARE IN TROUBLE, NOT JUST YOU. STOP ACTING SO STUPID." Yelled Hermione pointing her finger. "STOP YELLING AT ME HERMIONE I WAS JUST KIDDING! I JUST SAID SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WADDLING AND YOU WENT BALLISTIC!" Yelled Ron back at Hermione. "DON'T TAKE YOUR HORMONES OUT ON ME!" Yelled Ron as he sat down. "THAT IS IT! THAT'S IT! RICTUSEMPRA!" Shouted Hermione pointing her wand at Ron. There was a flash of white light then the sound of Ron laughing. Hermione put her wand away and put her face in her hands and ran off toward the girls dormitory bawling. "She-has-gone-mad" said Ron in-between fits of laughter.
Once the spell had worn off Ron looked like down at his shoes. "How am I going to do this Harry. I don't know the first thing about being a dad. Im still in school. My mum is going to have a cow, and im not sure how were going to get enough money to provide for our child." said Ron with worry clear in his voice. "Ron, things will work out, but right now you also have to think about what Hermione is feeling, oh, don't give me that look, Her mother might disown her. She might not have any place to turn, and she has to worry about how things will go with your family, and you know how she's always up to high standards with school, and now she has to worry about pushing something the size of a watermelon out of something the size of a lemon." Said Harry, laughing to himself thinking about the last time he heard aunt Petunia use that anolgy. Ron continued to look down at his feet. "yah, I guess I have been a little selfish. I really do love Hermione, but you know how she can get sometimes." Ron said as he looked up at Harry. "Maybe we should go to bed Ron, sleep will do you good." said Harry smiling. It was weird because he didn't need to force the smile.
"what happened to you?" asked Ron in a mischievous smile. "Nothing, why ask?" lied Harry, blushing. "If that's nothing then Hermione is really a guy, now fess up." Said Ron looking at Harry with slitted eyes. "Umm... well..." trailed Harry, then he explained what had happened with him and luna before he went to the common room. Ron smiled mischievously "You and Luna eh? Well, I was always trying for you and Ginny, because I don't really trust her with anyone else, but well, I wasn't really thinking Luna" Said Ron. Harry looked down and thought. What is so wrong with Luna anyway?

Said Harry, laughing to himself thinking about the last time he heard aunt Petunia use that anolgy. Ron continued to look down at his feet. "yah, I guess I have been a little selfish. I really do love Hermione, but you know how she can get sometimes." Ron said as he looked up at Harry. "Maybe we should go to bed Ron, sleep will do you good." said Harry smiling. It was weird because he didn't need to force the smile.
"what happened to you?" asked Ron in a mischievous smile. "Nothing, why ask?" lied Harry, blushing. "If that's nothing then Hermione is really a guy, now fess up." Said Ron looking at Harry with slitted eyes. "Umm... well..." trailed Harry, then he explained what had happened with him and luna before he went to the common room. Ron smiled mischievously "You and Luna eh? Well, I was always trying for you and Ginny, because I don't really trust her with anyone else, but well, I wasn't really thinking Luna" Said Ron. Harry looked down and thought. What is so wrong with Luna anyway?

okay, chapter three is done, sorry it took so long to get this one out. Next chapter might take a week, Im going to include the next eight months, and Harry's budding romance with Luna. I also have some surprises in the next chapter. And no, don't think about it, Luna is not going to get pregnant, the thought makes me quiver. Lol I think im starting to feel sorry for Ron though. *huggles Ron*
again, reviews please, good or bad! ~~Starr
