CHAPTER 7!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you guys know where we are?" Hermione asked after Ron, Harry and her sat down.

"Uhhh… the Three Broomsticks…" Ron answered.

"You okay Hermione?" Harry wondered.

"I'm fine, I mean do you know what table we are sitting at?"

Ron and Harry looked at each other with a confused glance. Hermione groaned.

"We are at the same table when Harry was sneaking over here without permission and we found out that his father and Sirius were best friends!"

"Oh" The two guys answered in unison, "Didn't notice."

"I just thought it was neat." Hermione said looking back to her menu.

"It was Herm, Hey… don't you know this menu by heart? Its not like they sell anything new that they haven't been selling for the past 100 years." Ron mentioned.

Hermione scrunched up her nose, "Thank you for that wonderful… allegation Ron. I think I'll just have a butterbeer, what about you Harry?"

"Same, Ron?"

"Of course I just want a butterbeer."

Harry and Hermione just shook their heads at him laughing.

"What?"

"Nothing!"

"Why if it isn't Mr. Potter, Miss. Granger, and Mr. Weasley!" Rosmerta said coming to take their order.

"Potter." Hermione corrected.

"Ah yes, Mrs. Potter" Rosmerta smiled, "How long go was your two's wedding?"

"A little over a month ago, August 15." Hermione answered.

Harry mouthed an 'oops' to Ron, who started laughing and mouthed back 'you forgot?' Harry nodded.

Hermione turned to face Ron, "What is so funny?"

"Nothing… Nothing at all." He responded with a glance at Harry.

"I have a feeling you two aren't telling me something," she said looking at them both.

"Us?" they said together, "Never"

"Right, anyway, Rosmerta, we would like 3 butterbeers please"

"Sure thing" she answered and walked off.

----

"Ron…" Hermione began and he took the point and excused himself to go to the bathroom.

"Harry…"

"Do you want me to leave too?" He asked skeptically.

"No, I just wanted to talk to you."

"Now?"

"Well… I don't know…"

"Herm, I'm sorry."

"For what?" she asked leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Being gone so long all the time…"

Hermione smiled, "Its okay, they need you more."

"Herm you know you are more important than any of this to me,"

"I know Harry, I know, but you are doing something good for all of us."

"Sometimes I wish I could just be home with you."

"So do I, but they need you, everyone needs you."

"Yea, but no one cares about what I need."

"Yes they do Harry."

"No, cause if they did they would know that I need you more then anything, and wouldn't keep me away for so long."

Hermione smiled and kissed Harry.

"It was only for 3 days Harry."

"Before that, when it was 6months once, and they wouldn't let me write you because that would give away our position."

Hermione bit her lip, "But that was just when you were actually fighting Voldemort, he is nothing now, you just need to find him to finish him off."

"Yes, but that is what is hard, and his is gaining strength rapidly."

"You know I want to help."

"Herm… I know… but I don't think I could stand putting you in so much danger, and if something happened to you… I would never forgive myself."

"I know, but it is the same as if something were to happen to you."

"Please Herm…"

"Fine, I guess I feel a little better, but still…"

"Herm…"

"Its okay Harry…"

"Is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"Well… I'll tell you later." Hermione said seeing Ron leave the bathroom.

----

"Am I intruding anymore?" Ron asked sitting down.

"No, you weren't ever Ron." Hermione responded.

"Sure."

Harry looked at Hermione strangely, what did she want to tell him? But then shrugged as Rosmerta brought them their butterbeers.

"Sorry that it took so long, The people over there wouldn't make up their mind." Rosmerta said pointing vaguely in the direction of a group of about eight people.

"They look familiar…" Harry muttered after Rosmerta left, insisting that they needn't pay.

"Not to me…" Hermione said glancing over at them.

"Me neither."

"Hey, do you guys want to take this butterbeers to go?" Harry asked suddenly.

Hermione and Ron gave Harry a strange look, but nodded and followed him out

"Harry, what was that all about?" Hermione asked after they walked in silence for a few minutes.

"Nothing."

"Harry, Do you know who those people are?" Ron questioned.

"Just forget it okay?"

"But…"

"No Herm, just forget it."

Hermione bit her lip and fell behind him and Ron.

"Herm, I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound rude, but I'll just tell you guys later." Harry said turning around to face her. Ron, just noticing the stop of pace, had to double back to them.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Its fine Harry, lets just go to… well… there is Zonko's over there."

"Ok, lets g…" Harry began, but Hermione and Ron were already heading over there. Harry sighed and followed them.

------

Hermione stopped Ron a couple of feet before the shop, and Harry caught up with them.

"Why'd you stop?" Ron asked turning towards her.

"Yea, you know I would've caught up with you in the store…" Harry said.

"Is that Sirius over there with that lady?" Hermione questioned to no one in particular pointing at a short, slender woman with long black hair. Her back was turned towards them, hiding the front of the robe she was wearing, it was baby blue and fit beautifully around her delicate features.

"Yea, wonder who that is." Harry wondered aloud, "Oh well, lets go on in."

"No, I think I know her."

"Then who is she?" Ron asked shifting his gaze away from her.

"Not really sure."

"You just said you knew her!"

"I sort of do, I've seen her around the school a lot, she isn't a teacher or anything, so I don't know."

"Maybe you should ask Dumbledore about it." Harry suggested.

"I guess I'll do that later…"

"Yes, because now we are going into Zonko's!" Ron said, shoving his two friends into the store, right as Sirius was leaning forward to kiss the girl.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that day, the trio had to split up, since Ron was heading back to his house, and Harry and Hermione to Hogwarts.

Inside the Great Hall during supper, Harry and Hermione were sitting next to Sirius, and the mysterious girl was no where to be seen.

"Hey, Sirius… who was that girl you were with at Hogsmeade?" Harry asked during the meal. Sirius turned a bright crimson.

"No one in particular." He said, then excused himself with the excuse of 'he needed to work on his lesson plans'.

Harry and Hermione exchanged confused glances then turned immediately to Lupin.

"What?" he asked when both pairs of eyes were on him.

Hermione and Harry both started blurting out questions and accusations.

"Whoa, hold on, one at a time, Hermione?" Remus asked as if they were in class.

"Who was that girl? Do you know?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact I do."

"Then who is it?" Harry questioned.

"You'll have to ask Sirius that one, I am afraid I can not give you the answer to that."

"Why not?"

"It is a question Sirius would rather answer himself."

Harry and Hermione rolled their eyes but continued with their dinner in silence.

------

The topic of this girl didn't cease until they were lying in bed that night, and the topic of what Hermione was going to say to him, came up.

"It really was nothing, I can tell you later." Hermione said laying her head on his chest, she knew that he'd be gone before she woke up.

"Please tell me." He said hugging her closer, "I'm not going to be able to find out who that girl was till next time I visit, so at least tell me what you were going to say."

"So, you'd rather hear about who that girl was than what I have to say?"

"No! Don't think that!"

"Its hard not to, when you just about said that."

"Herm, what ever you say is more important, believe me."

Hermione sighed and snuggled even closer to him, "I believe you."

"Good, now what were you going to say?"

Hermione bit her lip.

"Well…" then she muttered something that Harry couldn't understand.

"Pardon?"

"I'm pregnant."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N – la, la, la =) hehe… lovely cliffy… right? But… Well… I am going to continue a little bit farther, cause I don't want to have Harry still there in the next chapter, I want him to be gone! =) well… I mean… I just want it to be morning, so he may or may not be gone…. ;) =)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What??" Harry asked sitting up.

"I'm…"

"I heard… but when did you find out?"

"A couple of days ago…"

"And you didn't tell me?"

"It slipped my mind… are you mad at me?"

"No! I am definitely not mad," Harry said giving her a hug, "are you going to be okay?"

"Yes, I'll be fine… Sirius and Lupin are here… and Ron isn't far away…"

"I know, but I don't want to leave you…"

"I'll be fine, I promise."

"But…"

"Harry its not like I am going to break.. I am barely a month pregnant."

"Still, I am going to be so far away…"

"Its okay!" Hermione said wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.

"You sure?"

"Positive!" She said smiling, he was always very caring, and she loved that about him.

"Well, Sirius better take good care of you for me!" Harry said kissing her.

"He will, he will." Hermione said leaning back into the pillows.

Harry wrapped his arms around her protectively, and they soon fell asleep.
