Starr: Sorry guys, I decided to talk this one much more slowly then I took
the other four, because I keep making errors that I should have seen while
editing, so Im going to take more time editing, and more time making a good
plot. I want so much to happen in this chapter. I have to end a rumor here
too while I am thinking about it. Someone already asked me if Luna was
going to end up pregnant like Hermione, Im going to squash and kill that
one, Luna will NOT end up pregnant. But I do see a comedy coming soon.
*wink wink* and also, I want to do this chapter in a different setting...
or try anyway. Tell me if you think it looks stupid.
Chapter Five: The beauty of pregnancy... NOT!
About a week after Hermione had received her letter she had been more distant with Harry and Ron. Even with the days approaching till they would start their baby classes, she had taken refuge in the library a lot more.
"Should we say something to her?" whispered Ron to Harry at lunch one day. "No, just let her be" Answered Harry as he looked over at Luna and waved.
The truth is, Harry and Luna had spent almost all of their free time together. Harry enjoyed her company, and it made him forget about his troubles and the fact that the wired dreams had started again. Harry, who found out at the end of last year that he would have to kill Voldemort if he wanted to live himself, was having the strange dreams again about snakes. Harry wasn't sure what they meant. He just kept seeing them in his dreams. Snakes killing people, Snakes multiplying, just... snakes. Harry had decided to keep these dreams to himself because he didn't want to add any more stress to Ron and Hermione, and he wasn't so sure that Luna would really understand. So Harry put it to the back of his mind.
Harry was heading to the Gryffindor tower with the thought of finishing his potions homework fast so he could walk around with Luna before it got dark when he ran into someone he hadn't seen in a while. It was Cho Chang, the person who Harry had crushed on for three years until the reality that it wasn't going to work hit him, and he just lost interest.
"Hi Harry! I was just looking for you, do you think that we could talk?" Asked Cho, smiling. "Sure, I have a few moments." Harry lied as he started walking with her.
Harry and Cho walked for about ten minuets. Cho told Harry about her holiday with her father in China, and Harry told her about spending some of the holiday with Ron. Cho stopped at a window around the north tower.
"You know Harry, I still like you. I've sorted out my feelings. My father helped me, when we were at a temple in China. I'm starting to get over Cedric, even thought he will always be a part of my life Harry, I want you to be also." Said Cho full of determination.
Harry thought for a few moments... He was with Luna, He didn't even really like Cho anymore. He felt that he had to explain this somehow to Cho. At that same moment Luna was on her way to the Ravenclaw tower. Thinking longingly of doing some homework before meeting Harry, when she saw him standing with Cho. She stopped, hid behind a statue and listened.
"Er-" Said Harry trying to think of a way to tell Cho that he liked Luna, not her. "Harry, I know that I haven't been the best in the past year. I didn't think of your feelings. Im sorry, I was just so selfish." whispered Cho as she bent down and kissed Harry.
Luna's eyes widened and started to tear. She ran away crying. She thought Harry liked her, was he just playing her like a fool, like so many other people had. She got to the Ravenclaw entrance and stood there for a few moments, thinking... why would Harry do this to her, when he so often told Luna how much he liked her?
Harry pushed Cho away from him. It didn't feel right having Cho kiss him, when he thought so much of Luna. Harry thought that this was time that he told Cho about Luna, that he had moved on, because he figured Cho had, that he had no feelings for Cho at all.
"Harry, what's the matter? Do I kiss that bad?" asked Cho, sounding offended.
"Er- Cho, I kinda have been seeing someone. I figured you moved on, so I moved on. I really like the person I am with, but I don't want to hurt you at the same time, Im sorry." said Harry, unsure of what else to say.
Cho looked at Harry in a very offended way. She turned around and walked away, looking daggers at Harry before she left. 'Great' Harry thought to himself. 'I made someone else hate me' and then he walked back to the Gryffindor tower before anyone else stopped him.
**********************************************
Harry got back to the common room to see that Hermione was actually talking. Ron, who seemed to be in amazement, kept nodding and smiling. They were sitting in the two best chairs in front of the fire, Hermione was petting Crookshanks, her ginger, brush-tailed cat. Ron was sitting looking at a book with disgust.
"Harry come here!" said Hermione in some urgency.
Harry walked over and pulled a chair up to join the two. But for some reason Hermione was looking at Harry with piercing eyes.
"I was on my way up to the Gryffindor tower after I had spent some time at the library, looking for some books for the class Ron and I start tonight when I ran into Luna. She looked really upset, she told me that she was heading toward her tower when she saw you and Cho together, kissing." said Hermione, putting emphasis on the 'Kissing'
"Well, anyway, she was very upset and sought me out. Told me everything she did. I just got back to the common room moments ago. Explain" Said Hermione giving Harry her very stern look.
Harry explained everything, from how Cho wanted to talk, to the part where she kissed him, admitting that she still had feelings for him, and the hopes of rekindling their relationship. Hermione shook her head several times when Harry was explaining. Harry finished and looked around. Ron looked like he was at a lose for words.
"I reckon you have gotten yourself into more trouble then Hermione and I here. I would just leave the country if I were you, mate." Said Ron closeing the book.
Harry decided to go and see Luna to sort everything out, while Ron and Hermione went to their baby class. He went down the lake and waited for her. He hoped that she would still come, they had planned to do so yesterday. Harry had sat there for nearly two hours when he had decided to abandon all hopes of her coming down. He got up and headed back to the common room.
He said the password to the fat lady and walked into the common room. Ron and Hermione were back from their classes and looked to be practicing. Ron was holding a doll that looked like a baby. Harry went to get a closer look, and saw that the doll didn't seem so doll like at all, It was crying and kicking like a normal baby would.
"Now Ron, don't get angry at it... try the bottle here..." Said Hermione picking up a bottle that was close to her.
She checked the temperature on her wrist and handed it to Ron, who tried to put it in the babies mouth, but Harry figured it didn't want that, It kept pushing it away, eventually knocking out of Ron's hands. Harry could see that Ron was becoming frustrated. He picked up the bottle and started to try again. Again the baby pushed it away and continued the scream at the top of its lungs. Harry noticed that several first years were looking their way in amazement to the moving, crying doll.
"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF IT WON'T EAT! AND ITS DIAPER DOESN'T NEED CHANGED! HERMIONE IT JUST WANTS TO BE MISERABLE!" Flustered Ron.
"Just hand it to me!" Said Hermione threw clenched teeth. She put the babies head over her shoulder and started to pat its back. It let out a very long, disgusting belch and stopped crying.
"Oh, thank god... Its about time that thing stopped crying. Our baby won't be like that. He will never cry." Said Ron in a very dignified sort of voice.
"What makes you think that it will be a boy Ron? It could be a girl, actually I think it is a girl." Said Hermione matter of factly. She placed the baby in a blanket and started rocking it. Harry walked over to them and looked at the thing.
"What is it?? That can't be a real baby." Asked Harry in some sort of amazement.
"Well, no, its not. It's a bewitched doll, charmed to be realistic. We have to take care of it for three months, and after that it kind of tells the teacher if we have done everything right, like not neglect it, and not yell at it." Said Hermione as she glaired at Ron.
"Well, I think its time for me and Laine to go to bed, night guys." She said as she kissed Ron and hugged Harry.
Harry looked over at Ron and smiled.
"Laine? Who decided on that?" asked Harry struggling to keep from laughing.
"Hermione wants to name her girl that... but too bad its not going to be a girl. I don't think I could produce anything other then... other then... guys." Said Ron stifling a yawn.
"Lets go to bed then, Im to tired to even think about Snapes essay right now, we have all weekend to do it." Said Ron as Harry and him started for the boys dormitories.
Harry got dressed in his pajamas and told Ron good night. Harry watched Ron pull the curtain on his four poster before he did the same with his. Harry woke up again about five hours later to a sound in the room. He reached for his glasses and looked around the room. Hermione was standing at the foot of Ron's four poster with the bawling baby held tight in her arms. Several people in there dorm started to wake up and pulled back their curtains as well. Harry heard the mumbles of Neville once he realized the time, and the cursing of Seamus and Dean. Harry looked over and Ron and gave him a questioned look, but he was sure Ron hadn't seen him, the room was pitch black other then the light on Hermione's wand.
"Ron Im tired, I need sleep, its your turn. Just... Just...feed it and rock it for a while" Yawned Hermione putting the baby on Ron's bed. Ron looked over at her bewildered.
"But... but..err..." Ron said, clearly not understanding what she meant. The cursing of the other boys got louder, Harry could hear Dean yelling for someone to chuck the doll out of the window before he did.
"Ron, IT'S YOUR TURN!" Yelled Hermione as she turned around and stalked away.
Ron picked up the baby and started cradling it in his arms, feeding it a bottle. The baby started to slowly quite, and then, it fell asleep, along with Ron. Harry drifted back in his pillow and pulled the curtain on his four poster closed before falling asleep himself.
Harry was in a large clearing in a forest. Luna was standing on her tiptoes dancing in a maniac kind of way. "COME NARGALES COME! I AM YOUR MASTER!" She was shouting at the top of her lungs. Harry however stayed clung to a tree. She walked over to Harry and gave him that dreamy stair that she always possessed. "Harry... they are going to eat you for what you did to me..." but Luna's voice became distant and echo like. Then the forest dissolved and he was in a strange room.
The wall had designs of snakes all over them, and in the room where his mother and father. The were waving happily to them as they had did in the Mirror of Esrid. Also in the room were, what looked like members of his family. Harry looked around the room in amazement. He pushed his way around the family members all trying to hug and kiss him, and then he saw the person who he had wanted to see for the past 3 months. Sirius was standing in the back of the room, smiling and occasionally laughing with his laugh like a bark. But he didn't look like Harry remembered, he looked more younger and the look that Azakaban gave him, was no longer in his face.
"Harry." He heard him say in a distant voice, that seemed to be miles away. Harry looked over at him relieved and smiled so big, that it seemed like ages scence he had felt a smile spread across his face. "I knew I would see you again!" Said Harry truthfully, He knew that there was no way Sirius would not reach him again. "No Harry, you don't need to see me. Not for a very long time you hear me! Take care of yourself the best way you can, do this for me Harry okay? For me..." and Sirius's distant voice began to leave like Luna's did. The last glimpse of the room he saw was his mother, father and Sirius waving bye to him as the dream had ended and the curtains of his four poster became very clear.
Harry looked around and saw the sunlight shine on his glasses before he decided to put them on. Harry was still trying to keep the image of his mother, father and Sirius burned into is memory. But why had he seen it? In the dream (Or was it a dream?) Sirius told him to watch himself. Was something coming? Was he in danger again? Harry felt the distant rumble of his stomach and decided that it was best he continued his thoughts at breakfast.
As Harry walked out of the common room, He saw Luna pinning up some papers to a notice board near the Fat lady. He walked over to her. He had completely forgot that she must be angry with him still, and he had yet to explained himself. She had her wand tucked behind her ear, and that dreamy look in her large eyes. Harry looked over at the paper that she was pinning to the notice board. It was plea to return a missing Transfiguration book, so she could do some homework before she got 'T's' on papers. (Harry remembered that she was in her O.W.L year, and how hard it had been for him to finish homework.).
"Do you need some help?" Offered Harry, in the most sincere voice he had.
"Oh, no thank you, I suppose that it will turn up soon." She said in her dreamy voice that made her seem distant with others. A few 7th years walked by and pointed to Luna laughing, but Luna didn't seem to notice nor, did it seem like she cared.
"Listen, Luna, I need to explain what happened to you. Will you listen?" Asked Harry, with a bit of a plea in his voice.
"Harry, you don't need to explain what happened, I understand. I always knew you fancied Cho better. You have been that way scence your third year, I remember what you would look like when you saw her. You don't need to explain Harry, I completely understand." Said Luna, starting to lose the dreamy sound in her voice, sounding a bit bitter.
"But Luna, see I do. I don't like Cho, I like you. She came and sought me out yesterday to tell me that she still had feelings for me. But see, I didn't have feelings for her, I told her that I liked you, and she seemed quite... mad to say the least." Said Harry truthfully. Luna smiled and looked at Harry as if her dreams had come true.
"Oh Harry! Im so happy! I thought you liked her and you didn't like me... no wonder she looked so angry last night!" Said Luna in an excited voice. She started to cry and wrapped her arms around Harry. Harry had the feeling that he was always going to make girls cry, no matter what he did.
*************************************
Three months had past, and Christmas was slowly approaching. Hogworts had started to get thick snow on its ground, and Hermione was finally showing signs pregnancy. Her belly was started to look slightly larger then it did earlier that year, and Hermione was having to wear the maternity robes that She and Ron purchased in Hogsmead. To their joy, the doll that they were having to take care of for the baby classes was taken away that month, and they were at last back to the peace and quite of the common room. Hermione also pointed out that Ron and her received top marks with taking care of the baby.
Hermione became distressed at her ever growing belly, and she became very angry with every little thing. Ginny, who reminded Harry vagley of Fred and George, was always doing some kind of prank to someone in the common room. Fred and George, who had a joke shop in Diagon Alley, were always inventing some interesting joke or prank to pull on someone. Ginny seemed to have everyone of their items. One item they had invented was everlasting stink bombs that lasted hours and hours at a time. Ginny thought it would be a rather interesting joke to play on Ron one day while he was in the middle of his Transfiguration essay. Hermione, who was also working on her essay caught a huge whiff of the smell and screamed at Ginny.
"YOU KNOW YOU AREN'T ALLOWED THAT STUFF IN HERE GINNY! THAT'S IT! YOUR GOING TO DO LINES FOR ME! 'I WILL NOT SET OFF STINK BOMBS!' WELL, COME ON! GET ON WITH IT!" Screamed Hermione. Ginny, who looked scandalized stalked off, cursing under her breath. She retreated back over the Neville, who she was dating at the moment, and started her lines. Hermione began to breath heavily as though she had run several miles and went back to work, mumbling every now and again. "never... smells all of the time... I cant believe this..." Ron just kept his mouth shut and shot Hermione apprehensive looks every now and again. Would she be happy for the surprise that he had waiting for her later that night? Or should he wait? He considered this things for a while as he closed his books and looked longingly at the window wishing he were out in the snow right now instead, as his nerves begain to swell.
