Chapter 4- Oh No

-!-

A few days passed, but they were all a blur to Hermione. Classes were the same, Snape dishing out detentions like candy, and Neville always turning his rats into birds.

-!-

Hermione woke up in a cold sweat. She'd had a dream about none other than that snake- headed boy Malfoy. Although not remembering what it was about, she'd remembered Malfoy's evil grin and piercing eyes glaring at her.

She heard the splashing of water in the bathroom, and went to see what it was. Probably Neville's escaped toad, she thought. But, it wasn't.

"Gin'? Are you okay?"

Ginny was sitting next to the toilet. She looked sick and had obviously been throwing up. Her face was wet with sweat, and her eyes puffy and red. Her hair was also messy and tangled.

"I don't know," she said softly. "I've been like this all night and I didn't get any sleep. I have no idea what's wrong with me."

Tears began to fall down her face as Hermione hurried towards her. She put her arm around Ginny.

"It's okay, Gin'. I'm sure it's just the flu."

Hermione slowly left Ginny's side and stood by the doors that lead to the Common Room.

"I'll stay with you today, and tell Harry and Ron to tell the teachers, okay?"

Ginny nodded weakly, and smiled a small smile.

-!-

Madam Pomfrey smiled as the two walked through the hospital doors, but her smile faded as she saw Ginny, leaning against Hermione's side.

"Come over here onto the bed, Ginny." She said calmly.

Hermione struggled to lift her onto the bench. Ginny's stomach lurched, and she quietly moaned. Madam Pomfrey's eyebrows furrowed. She examined Ginny all over. Walking over to the closet behind her, she pulled out a small box.

"Here, Ginny. Go into the bathroom and try this." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile.

Ginny's eyes widened as she closed the door behind her. As if she'd been slapped, Hermione suddenly realized what that small box was. A pregnancy test. That would mean Madam Pomfrey knew... she looked towards her. Madam Pomfrey smiled. Wow, she thought. Teachers must know everything. Hermione stood against the wall.

All of a sudden, the bathroom door sprang open. Ginny came out of the bathroom in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, into Hermione's arms. She was muttering something between the sobs that Hermione couldn't understand, but she just hugged Ginny even harder, trying not to cry herself. Madam Pomfrey even came over to them and gave them reassuring hugs.

-!-

A few hours later, Hermione was still sitting in the small hospital wing. Ginny had left to go to bed, exhausted from the shock and sadness. Hermione let her thoughts wander, from Ginny to Ron, and then finally resting on yesterday's happenings. She suddenly felt nervous and tired at the same time. For her best friends... and her worst nightmare.

Madam Pomfrey came back into the wing.

"Hermione, it's getting late. You'd better head back to the dormitory."

Hermione nodded tiredly. As she left the hospital wing, she saw Madam Pomfrey cleaning up, and in her hand, was a pregnancy test. A positive pregnancy test.
