-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Few weeks passed…Hermione is now teaching at Hogwarts as a Transfiguration professor. With her is Harry who is now teaching Defense Against Dark Arts. Ron is not with them at Hogwarts, which is utterly surprising. He preferred to be a part of the Ministry of Magic. This year was not a good start for Hermione. She couldn't get a reason why she should move on with her life. She tries to be as cheerful as she can in front of her students but she can't continue doing this…sometimes people have to reveal the feelings that is building up in their hearts whether it is painful or not.

It's been a month since she and Ron broke up with so many complicated reasons, which Harry can't understand. He tried to get them back together but it won't do any better but worst. He knows what Hermione is into right now that's why he tries to be her best friend as he can. Yes, a good friend.

Sometimes…he thinks that finding the right person for Hermione would make her situation less delirious…

"But who could that be?" he asked himself…then he will picture himself with Hermione…both of them are happy together living the rest of their lives…It's been too long that he hidden his feelings for Hermione…too long and until now…He can't find the right time to tell her…and when he feels it's the right time for him to tell her, Hermione was always not in the mood or in the middle of doing things… He could feel his heart ache when he sees tears rolling from Hermione's eyes…He feels that every time she cries, the tears from her eyes were like his world, falling into pieces…Then he will remember their batch's reunion…where he left Hermione and Draco alone which he hated himself for doing it…if he hadn't done that, he will not be at the corner watching the two having their time…maybe he won't feel the painful stab that he felt that time when Hermione is in Draco's arms …sometimes he would think that what if he hadn't accepted Draco's apology…none of this would happen…



Suddenly, a knock on his door interrupted his thoughts…he quickly wiped the tears that was falling from his eyes seconds ago…

"Harry? Can I come in?" It was Hermione, his best friend. His best friend, which he deeply fell in love with.

"Sure…" Said Harry.

Hermione opened the door and let herself in. He looked at Harry with his troubled face and sat at one of the chairs in front of Harry.

"Is there something wrong?" Harry asked worried.

"H-Har-ry…I'm pregnant…" Hermione said with her voice trembling….

"W-what? How could that be possible?" Asked Harry

"I don't know…"Hermione cried covering her face wit her hands

Harry quickly comforted her. Once again, Harry's thoughts of he and Hermione as a couple which is destined for each other, turned out to the fact that they weren't meant for each other.

"Who else knows about this?" Harry asked

"Just Madam Pomfrey… I went to her yesterday to have a check up because I kept on throwing up the moment I woke up…that is when I found out that I'm pregnant…" Hermione said still sobbing.

"Does Ron know about this yet?" Asked Harry

"No… and I'm not planning to…" Hermione said.

"But Hermione, he has to know… he's the father…" Harry aid trying to convince Hermione

"No! I don't want to bother him anymore! He has his own life now… I can't… besides, what good could that do? She doesn't love me anymore…" Hermione said.

"But…" Hermione cut Harry off.

"I can raise this baby on my own… but I was expecting that you would help me…" Asked Hermione.

"Of course I will…you're my… friend…" Harry replied and hugged Hermione tightly.

"Thanks, Harry…" Hermione said.
