Chapter Twenty
Last time: "Then what is it?" everyone asked.
"You've been invited to try out for the national team?"
"Hermione's going to graduate top of her class?" They guessed again.
"No and no," Harry answered.
"Then what is it, go ahead tell us?" asked Bill.
"We're having a baby!"
Everyone's mouths droped open in shock, that is the last thing any of them would have expected or guessed.
"That's wonderful! Have you told your parents yet, Hermione?" inquired Arthur.
"Your not married!" exclaimed Molly
"Mum! Who cares they love eachother, this is Harry and Hermione your talking about, they'd walk through the pits of hell for eachother!" Ron burst out.
"Here, here," seconded the rest of the Weasley children, significant others and Arthur.
"Have you told your parents, yet Hermione?" asked Molly.
"No, we just found out today."
"You guys are the first to find out, now don't go talking to the press, we'd like to keep it quiet for at least little while, got it? You all swear not to talk?"
A chorus of yesses answered Harry's plea.
"Wow, Luna, can you believe it, Harry and Hermione are having a baby, just two years ago, they couldn't stand to be in the same room!"
"It's great, do you think they'll get married, why was your Mum throwing such a fuss?
"It's Mum, she was furious when you moved in with me, remember that? They'll probably get married someday."
"Yeah, after a few kids?"
"Probably, give the wizarding world a heart attack, Harry Potter isn't married and is having a baby, what is this world coming, too," he joked.
"Just hope fly lady doesn't find out."
"Fly lady, you mean Skeeter? Oy she's retched, but she owes Hermione and Harry and us for getting her that big story in the Quibbler, and for not ratting her out."
"That is very true, she has toned it down in her Quibbler articles she occasionally publishes."
"True, love."
A few nights later, Granger residence. ~Ding Dong~Ding Dong~ "I got it, Tracy."
"Hermione, Harry! How are you? Now why in the world did you want to have dinner so suddenly?"
"We'll tell you later, Dad," as she hugged him.
"Mr. Granger," as Harry stuck out his hand and Mr. Granger shook it.
"You know, you can call me by my first name, Jack."
"Sorry, Mr. Granger, sorry."
"Harry it's okay," she whispered to him.
"That's untill they try to kill me, that is."
"Someone else trying to kill you, Harry?" Jack asked good naturely.
"No, no."
"That's good, don't know how my daughter would react to you dying, it wouldn't be pretty."
"Dad! I'm going to say hi to Mum."
"I'm right, here , come over here and give me a hug."
"Hi Mum."
"Good evening Mrs. Granger."
"Oh, hello there, Harry, you know you can call me, Tracy."
"Sorry, Mrs. Granger."
"Stuck in your ways, Harry."
"Yes, Sir, I guess so."
"Shall we all head into the dining room for dinnner?"
~~~~
"Oh, it all looks delicious, Mrs. Granger."
"Any wine, Hermione, Harry?"
"No, thanks, Dad."
"I'll have a bit, thank you, Sir."
"You sure Hermione, Tracy, do you want some?"
"Yes, dear."
"No, Dad, I'll stick to the water."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Alright."
'That seemed close,' both thought.
They ate for a little while then, "So, what's new?"
"A lot of things," Harry simply replied as Hermione spit out her water, luckily into her cup.
"Like what?"
"A.. I got a raise."
"Did you now, Harry, what is it you do now?"
'whew, that could have been close,' thought Hermione.
"I'm a pro-Quidditich player, only my fourth profession, the team wanted to extend my contract, past this year, gave me a hefty signing bonus."
"Really, why?"
"Cause, we've one the past two league titles and I've one the past 2 playoff and regular season Mvp's, plus I won Rookie of the Year, and our friend, Ron, do you remember him?" Her parents nodded, "He's one the past 2 Keeper of the Year awards, he's having an excellent season as well, he may well make it three in a row."
"Harry, do you think you may win the first annual Seeker of the Year award?"
"I don't know, maybe, there's some bloody fantastic Seekers, I have some stiff competition."
"Mum, Dad Harry's just being modest, he's the best Seeker in the league, are you taking England up on there offer, Hun?"
"Uh, I don't know..."
"England, you've been offered to play for England! That's quite an achievement, wow!"
"Dad, you don't even know the sport."
"But England, the national team!"
"Well, Wood's on the Scottish team and Ron's on England already, as well as Katie and Angelina."
"What's up with Alicia, these days?"
"Oh, she's injured, can't play, till maybe the end of next season, which is a real shame, could have had almost a full Hogwarts squad for the tournament, actually there courting Davies, I think not sure, but he or she was a Ravenclaw, there's even some rumors there going after Ginny."
"But she hasn't played in years!"
"I know, there rumors, I doubt there true, tabloids and all."
"So, Harry, what did you do before you became a Pro Widditich player?"
"It's Quidditich, Dad."
"I was an Auror, then worked a McDonald's for a few months, then worked at Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley."
"You worked at McDonald's, why? Hermione says your well off, why didn't you go into Quiffitich back then?"
"Didn't feel like it, just needed to do something, so I went there, then the bookshop for a little less then a year."
"And your paying for Hermione's University costs, why?"
"Why not? I don't plan on ever leaving her, or viceversa, I hope."
"Harry, you know, I'd never leave you." Lost in eachothers glance till, a clearing of a throat.
"Sorry." they muttered.
"It's alright, so what's up with you, Hermione, University ends this year, what are your plans?"
"Uh.. take some time off, probably, for a while."
"How long?"
"Not sure, I'll be very busy."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Your not getting married are you?"
"No, we're not getting married, yet, Mr. and Mrs. Granger," then he leaned over and whispered "Do you want to tell them, or should I?"
"What is it? You did say you had some news."
"We do, Mum, Dad, now are we all sitting down? Yeah, okay, We're having a baby!"
The parents jaws drop.
"You.. Your, what?" asked Tracy.
"There're having a baby, dear, we're going to be grandparents!"
"This is a shock, when is it due?"
"November, what is it around the nineteenth, Harry?"
"Yeah, that's what the doctor said."
"Congradulations! Your what about a month along?"
"Yeah, Dad."
"Come here and give me a hug!" Mrs. Granger is still sitting in shock.
"Harry, you too, your definitely a part of the family now! Whether you like it or not!"
"Thank you, Mr. Gra," Jack gave him a look, like you better not call me that ever again, "Jack, thank you."
"Tracy, are you all right, dear?"
"I'm just shocked, my little girls going to be a mother!"
"Oh, dear," and she rushed Hermione and hugged her, then moved onto Harry, "Congradulations! Cnogradulations! This is so, unexpected, are you going to be alright in your classes? Carrying around books like you do?"
"Mum, feather lite charms."
"O, right."
After much parently affection they got out of there.
"Hermione, this is so surreal! Can you believe we're going to be parents, I think it's finally starting to hit me, ahh, I gotta read some baby books and talk to Mr. Weasley, and Ron, and Charlie, and Bill, and Mrs. Weasley and Dean and Ginny."
"Harry, we have time, eight months."
"Yeah, but... but," he was cut off.
"We'll be fine, we can get books, I'm sure the hospital has classes, o and are you going to play for England, give them an answer?"
"I dont' the baby."
"Harry, that's not till November, he or she won't be here till then, the World Cup is in July and August, you don't need to worry, I can travel with you, where is it this year?"
"Uhm..Cuba, I think."
"You are going to play, I know this is the only thing stopping you, so owl them a yes, this is a once in a lifetime oppourtunity, like the muggle Olympics."
"Alright, I'll do it."
"Good."
