Chapter Seven: It's a bird. It's a plane. Its Malfoy?!?
Ron woke up in the middle of the night in a slight chill. It was a mid-January night. He pulled the curtains open on his four posters and tip- toed out of the dormitory room. He could hear Harry talking in his sleep, and the rest of the boys snores. He walked down the stairs to the common room and found what he was looking for, the fire.
He went over and laid down on the couch, the fire felt so great on his cold toes. He became thankful to the house-elves for their around-the- clock work to keep the fires always burning. The fire had started to hypnotize him back into sleep when he heard the sound of someone walking down stairs. He turned around fast to find that it was only Hermione, carrying a book in her right hand. She had her hair pulled up in a bun, but a few strands of hair fell loosely around her face and back. She had on a silk night gown that stopped at her knees, Ron could see just how big her stomach had gotten. He was a little surprised, but clearly not as surprised as her.
"Oh my! You startled me Ron! I was not expecting anyone to be down here this late." Said Hermione placing a hand on her chest.
"What are you awake for?" questioned Ron, looking at Hermione suspiciously.
"Well, I couldn't sleep. I kept getting these strange cravings for pickles, but I hate pickles. Anyway, I decided that trying to sleep would be useless. So I came down here to read a book." Said Hermione holding up the book with one hand.
Ron patted down on the couch and motioned for Hermione to come sit next to him. (Well, he was no longer laying down anyway...) Hermione went over to the couch and placed her head on Ron's lap to lay down. Once she was comfortable she picked up the book and started to read. Ron pulled her hair out of the bun that it was in and started to play absentmindedly with her hair. Hermione pulled the book down and looked up at Ron.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to read when your doing that." Smiled Hermione.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to think when your laying on my lap like that?" Smiled Ron, raising an eyebrow.
Hermione turned herself around and pulled Ron down so that he laid down on the couch. Then she placed herself on top of him. Even thought Hermione was pregnant, Ron noticed she didn't feel like she weighed too much at all, in fact, she felt as if she didn't gain any weight. The only difference was that Ron could tell it was uncomfortable for her to lay like that. He kissed her tenderly and turned her over so that she still laid on top of him, but it was still comfortable for Hermione.
She laid her hand on his torso and closed her eyes. Ron grabbed her hand and held it tight in his. Their fingers intertwined with each other. Hermione made Ron feel so warm, he didn't think that any other girl could give him the feeling that Hermione gave him. Every time he looked at her, it was as if the butterflies in his stomach would never go away. The tips of his ears would turn red and stay that way.
As he looked down on her, he wanted to give everything in the world to her. Anything her little heart desired. Then he thought of the baby that was still growing in her. It was as if two emotions hit him at once. His love for Hermione was so strong. He didn't think he could love anyone as much as he loved her, but then he thought of the baby. Would he love the baby as much as her? With his free hand, he started to play with a few of Hermione's curls again. She smelled so good. She was wearing the perfume that Ron gave her for Christmas last year.
"Hermione..." Ron said looking down on her sleeping face.
"Hmm?" Hermione said sleepily.
"I... I love you." Ron said looking down at her.
Hermione opened her honey colored eyes and looked at Ron. Those eyes! The eyes that could give you that stern look when you were being out of line. The eyes that will give you that warm look when your sad and upset. The eyes that were filled with intelligence. Those eyes were filled with so much love. She looked up at Ron with her loving eyes and smiled.
"Ron, I love you too." she cooed.
Ron leaned down and kissed her forehead. The feeling of warmth that he felt was not from the fire. He smiled to himself as he wrapped his arm around Hermione's waist. He pulled her as close as he most possibly could. His tall frame almost covered her small body. She smiled and closed her eyes once more. From her slow and steady breathing Ron could tell that she was asleep. He laid down on the pillow and fell asleep himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Ron and Hermione were being prodded awake by Harry.
"Come-on-you-guys-please-wake-up" said Harry a bit agitated. "Its time for breakfast. Everyone is going to wake up and find you here, then your going to have to explain yourselves." Continued Harry shaking Ron violently.
"I'm up mate. With the way your shaking us, the baby is going to have brain damage." yawned Ron as he sat up. Hermione followed a few seconds later. "Fine, If you want to get seen by everyone else as they are going down to breakfast, that's fine. Im sure everyone will LOVE to see two Perfects sleeping together on a couch in the common room..." Harry snapped.
"Well, I'm going to go get dressed for breakfast, and get my Care of Magical Creatures book, we have that first today." Said Hermione as she shuffled up to the girls dormitories. Ron yawned and did the same.
Harry first started to follow him, but stopped mid-way and returned to the couch. He had another dream. This time, he could see the members of his family more clearly. His mothers green eyes were like acid burning in his mind. He couldn't get it out. Then there was Sirius. His laugh like a bark, his warning... Harry wanted to know what this all meant. He was half convinced to tell Ron and Hermione, they would be mad if they know that he was keeping it from them. But Harry knew what they would say. He could almost hear it in his head. His thoughts where interrupted when Hermione came down the stairs, throwing a book into her bag and smiling.
"Okay, I'm ready! Let me guess... Ron isn't done yet is he?" Sighed Hermione.
"That's what you think. Come on I'm hungry." Said Ron's voice from behind them. Harry nodded and the three left for breakfast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three began to eat their breakfast when Ginny walked over to them throwing a large bag of dungbombs in front of Harry and Ron.
"Here, gifts from the twins. They have been in a extremely good mood lately. That girl friend of theirs has got them in a 'giving' kind of mood..." Giggled Ginny.
"What do you mean, 'that girl friend of theirs'... they have to have more then one girl friend..." Questioned Ron, looking confused.
"I mean, the french girl that they hired at their joke shop. She just graduated from Bauxbatons, her name is Karrie Simon. Very beautiful girl indeed. Well, according to the twins, it was 'love at first sight'. They both started to date her, and well Fred let it slip that they may be popping the question any day now. Mums not to pleased. She is more angry with them then she was with you two." Said Ginny nodding to Hermione and Ron.
"Wait... You mean.... ewwwwwwww..." Hermione said wrinkling her nose. Ron couldn't help but smile after he saw her face. But then the reality hit him.
"Wait... they both have the same girlfriend. Is that possible? I don't blame mum for being angry, but I would have thought that she would have took our situation a little more worse." Ron said dropping his toast.
"Well, mum doesn't think that it is right, so to speak. They have been at it for a while now. But you know mum, she wont disown them, not after the whole Percy incident." Ginny said disgusted.
"RON! WERE GOING TO BE LATE FOR CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES!!!" Screamed Hermione looking at her watch. Hermione grabbed Ron's hand and started to run from the great hall.
Ron, Harry and Hermione dashed to Hagrid's hut and made it to class just in time. Most of the class shivered in the January snow. Malfoy acted like he usually did. Making fun of Hermione, Harry and Ron. He did imitations of Hermione waddling around like a duck. It didn't bother Hermione much, but it irritated the hell out of Ron. It took a lot of will power for him to not knock him out during class. Hagrid walked out of his hut and winked at Hermione, Harry and Ron.
" 'lo class. Today were gonna look at somethin' different. Look at this insect here, can you tell me wha' they are?" Said Hagrid pointing to a bush full of extremely fast moving, sapphire blue, half inch long insects. Hermione's hand shot up as usual.
"Yes 'ermione what's th' answer?" Said Hagrid smiling happily.
"Well, They are called Billywig's, and are native to Australia. They... They..." But Hermione never finished what she was saying. Her hand dropped down and she placed it on her stomach. Her eyes opened wide and she smiled big.
"This-feels-so-weird...." She said talking to herself.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER HERMIONE! ARE YOU OKAY!?!?" Yelled Ron pushing the crowd that had gathered around Hermione away.
"Yes, Im fine... its just... the baby... this is weird... its kicking!" Hermione gasped. Hermione grabbed Ron's hand and placed it on her stomach. A few moments later, he felt it. The baby kicked. Ron couldn't help but smile. He got this strange feeling from inside of him as he felt the baby kick. Soon after Ron was pushed away by Lavender who decided that it was her turn to feel the baby kick.
"Oh! This is so cool Hermione!" Said Lavender in awe.
Most of the class had gathered around Hermione except the Slytherins. They decided that they would stand away from the rest and just glare. Malfoy rolled his eyes when her heard Parvati's excited squeal.
"Come on. These things are more exciting then that load of crap. Who cares of that stupid mudbloods baby is kicking." Sneered Malfoy as he walked over to where the Billywig's were and swapped some away from his arms. One of the Billywig's got irritated and stung Malfoy.
If the rest of the class were paying attention they would have noticed the strange reaction that Malfoy had to being stung. First he became all giddy, then he started to levitate several feet into the air.
Losing his giddy-ness and becoming frighted Malfoy began to scream for help.
"HELP ME YOU MORONS! I CAN'T GET MYSELF DOWN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!" Screamed Malfoy as the other students started to look away from Hermione and up at Malfoy. Seamus let out a laugh and pointed up toward the sky.
"LOOK! It's a bird!" Yelled Seamus.
"No! It's a plane!" Dean said astonished.
"A what..." Ron said looking confused...
"No... its Malfoy!" Yelled Harry trying to keep himself from laughing. Malfoy was hanging on to a tree branch to keep himself from going any higher. He looked seconds away from tears. Hagrid, looking like it would kill him to keep himself from laughing, pulled on one of Malfoy's toes and gripped his arm so he wouldn't levitate any higher.
"Class dismissed. I have to take Malfoy here to the infirmary. I hope Madam Pomfrey still knows that potion to stop the levitating." Said Hagrid walking to the castle, holding Malfoy like a kite. Pancy ran after Hagrid with tears in her eyes, muttering something about how much she hated Hermione. Hermione smiled to herself, feeling much happier about the upcoming months then she had before.
