The next two weeks after Hermione was released from the hospital wing flew by quickly. Hermione was feeling a lot better.she had gotten over her cold rather quickly, and she was relieved to find that it was only a cold.

Ron was still worried about her because ever since they spent their first night together he and Hermione were not spending as much time together.they were slowly drifting apart, and he couldn't figure out why?

It was now the end of January and the weather was growing colder by the hour. At about two in the morning Hermione woke suddenly to the sounds of high winds.When she got up to look out her window she could barely see anything.it was snowing, and not just a light feathery snow but a full blown blizzard. She quickly ran down to the common room to see if anyone else had made the same discovery that she did.when she walked down the steps to the common room she saw that someone did. She walked cautiously towards the person sitting by the fireplace.It was Harry. "Harry, what are you doing awake so late?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Oh, well I.had a nightmare you see and I couldn't fall back asleep.What are you doing up?"

"Oh, I heard heavy winds, so I decided to check it out and it is snowing, I believe we are in the middle of a blizzard." She said matter-of-factly.

"Yes, I have noticed the snow too." Harry said glumly.

"What did you have a dream about Harry?" Hermione was dying to ask him this.

"About Sirius' death.again."

"Oh." Was all she could say.

"Hermione, since we are both up can we.umm.talk?" Harry asked without making eye contact with her.

"Well, sure Harry.what do you want to talk about?"

"Well, I have been wanting to ask you about.Ron."

"What is it?" Hermione questioned relieved he didn't want to talk about Sirius' death because it would be much painful for them to talk about. "Umm.well.I have noticed that you and Ron haven't been hanging around each other much.well really.that you haven't been talking to him much.you are kind of growing apart.and he is getting worried and sort of depressed.is there another guy?" He finally spat out.

"OH! Goodness NO! I would never cheat on him I love him!"

"Then why have you been separating yourself from him?" He sounded relieved.

"Well, I don't really know."

"Do you need time off?"

"No.I don't think so."

"You're not really sure of much tonight are you Hermione.when you were sick a few weeks ago Ron thought you were.well.pregnant."

Hermione almost forgot all about herself thinking she was pregnant and was shocked that Ron thought the same. "Harry it was much too soon to tell if I was pregnant it was only one day after all!"

"That's what I told him, but he was still worried about you.and he still is."

"Well I can assure you that I am not pregnant." She said with a slight tremor, but Harry hadn't taken notice.

"Ok, I trust you.but can you please talk to Ron he is driving me out of my bloody mind.and you know him he has trouble bringing up his feelings."

"I will Harry, and thank you for talking to me.I really needed that."

"That's what friends are for.I am going to try and fall asleep, I will see you tomorrow.Good night Hermione."

"Good night Harry." After a few minutes Hermione decided that she herself should get some sleep.or at least try.

Hermione was awoke earlier then she would have liked by Ron jumping on her bed.

"HERMIONE, 'MIONE!! WAKE UP!" Ron shouted. She could see Harry standing by her nightstand and Ron jumping higher and higher each time until he landed straddling Hermione.

"Ron, what in bloody hell do you think you are doing?" Hermione asked a bit annoyed.

"HERMIONE! Lessons have been canceled there is a big snow storm we already have four feet of snow and its still snowing I expect we should have off from lessons for the next few days!" Ron said without taking a breath.

"Oh that is wonderful!" Hermione put a fake smile on her face.she would rather spend her days in the classroom then playing in the snow.but she did need a bit of a break and besides she was already 2 weeks ahead in all of her classes.

"Me, Harry, Fred, George, and Ginny are going to have a snowball fight! Do you want to come along?" Ron asked with so much excitement.

Hermione thought about this a long while she rarely joined them in their games, but since she had her talk with Harry she thought it would be best for her and Ron to spend a little time together. "Ok, but you can't make me stay for long."

"YES! Me and Harry are going to go and get ready we will meet you in the common room in 15 minutes."

Hermione looked out her window it was still snowing extremely hard, and it was really dark. 'what time is it' Hermione looked at her clock and read 5 45. "What the bloody hell! It is so early, breakfast hasn't even begun. What are they thinking?" she asked herself out loud.

When Hermione made her way down the common room, it was full of people 'and its only six in the morning' she thought to herself. She found her way to Ron, Harry and Ginny who were bundled up.Harry was eyeing up Ginny.she knew he liked her but was he ever going to act on that. "Hey guys I'm ready!"

Ron and Harry led the way, they were so excited.Hermione and Ginny stayed behind them a bit to talk, they had become close friends over the past few months and they always enjoyed talking about Ron and Harry.

"Hey Gin, how are things going.you know between you and Harry?" Hermione asked the first question. She knew Ginny had a thing for Harry, but like Harry she never acted upon her feelings.

"Well, I have been noticing him eyeing me up and today while we are playing in the snow, I thought it would be a perfect time to jump him and well maybe give him a little kiss." Ginny replied blushing.

"OH! That's a great idea Gin!"

"How are you and Ron? He has been asking me about you.but we haven't talked much lately.Is there something wrong?"

"Oh I'm fine.its just I haven't really been myself lately." Their conversation was cut short when they reached the entrance hall.Ron grabbed Hermiones hand and led her out into the snow. They played in the snow for hours and at one point when she looked over from being tackled on the ground by Ron she saw Ginny plant a kiss on Harrys lips.he was quite shocked by the looks of it. Then Ron had done the same to Hermione.no shock there it felt really nice it had warmed Hermione up quickly.

"Hey guys I'm guessing it is about nine, how about we call it quits until lunch time!" Harry suggested. With that the four of them left for the common room, leaving Fred and George to pummel the Slytherins walking by.

Apparently Harry and Ginny had become a couple between the entrance hall and the common room. They were snuggled up together in front of the fireplace. Ron and Hermione took a seat together on the chair next to them. Ron whispered in Hermiones ear.

"Hey baby, have you been ok lately?" Ron started.

Hermione was taken aback because Ron had never asked about feelings, "I've been fine, just a little tired."

"Ok, good.I.thought you didn't like me anymore."

"Oh Ron, I love you, you are so silly sometimes." Hermione giggled.

"Yea and I thought you were pregnant." They both laughed at this.

"No, Ron I am definitely not pregnant. Period. End of discussion." Then it hit her, 'SHIT! I didn't get my period! OMG! OH NO!' "Uhh...Ron I have to go I am not feeling to well, I think I may just be hungry!" Hermione yelled as she left the room, "See you at dinner!"

"But what about lunch?" Ron asked, but he was not heard.

She ran to her dorm and sat in her bed staring ahead of her. 'oh my god' then she heard the door open.

"Who is it?" Hermione asked in a monotone voice.

"It's me.Ginny. Are you ok Herm?"

"Oh, Ginny it's only you."

Ginny sat down next to Hermione on her bed and looked her straight in the eye, "Hermione Granger, what is wrong with you? I want no excuses, tell me right now."

"Umm.well.I.Listen Ginny you cannot tell ANYONE!"

"I promise."

"Well me and your brother.you see.we.a couple of weeks ago we.had ."

"SEX! EWWWW!!!!!"

"Ginny please?!"

"Oh Hermione I did not need to know this information."

"But you see Gin that is where the problem lies."

"What do you mean?"

"Well lately I have been a little tired and well.when I was sick I read this book about.about.pregnancy." Hermione said in a near whisper, "And I just realized that my period has not come yet it was supposed to come over a week and a half ago."

Ginny stared at Hermione for what felt like hours then she spoke, "Oh.whoa.Hermione you have to go to Madame Pomphrey.you have to find out if you are or if you are not."

"Ginny, I KNOW THIS! You have to help me please I have the books in my trunk.lets read the signs and see if I have any.will you help me?" Hermione pleaded.

"Of course that's what friends are for.the female ones." Ginny joked.

Hermione went to her trunk and got the three books on pregnancy out. Ginny opened up the first one and started to read.

"Ok Hermione, when did you and my brother.do this?"

"Sixteen days ago."

"Ok are you feeling any of these signs within the last week.Nausea?"

"No, not really."

"Tender or swollen breasts?"

Hermione felt her breasts, "Ow!.yes."

"Sleepiness?"

"Yes."

"Headaches?"

"Yes."

"And last but not least.missed period?"

Hermione gulped, "Yes."

"Oh Hermione the signs are all there you just have to have a test done."

"I'm scared Gin.What will Madame Pomphrey say?"

Before Ginny could answer they were interrupted by a voice coming from the bed across the way.

"I have a pregnancy test."

"LAVENDER?" Hermione screamed.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was in here, if it helps I only heard the end of your conversation." Lavender spoke sleepily.

"How come you have a test Lavender?" Ginny asked curiously.

"Well, I have my older sister owl them to me just in case.you know." Lavender peeked her head out from inside her bed.

Lavender got out of her bed and opened her trunk.she pulled out a little box.it was indeed a pregnancy test, "Here you are Hermione, now all you have to do is pee on the stick and wait three minutes."

Hermione stared at it, "Is this accurate?"

"97%."

Hermione took a deep breath and went into the bathroom. 'oh god, I cant believe I am doing this.what will my parents think?.my teachers?.the other students?.oh god here we go' Hermione peed on the stick and came back out into the dorms where Ginny and Lavender were waiting, "Now what?"

"Well," said Lavender, "We wait."

And the three of them waited. It was probably around lunchtime now.and the boys were sitting in the Great Hall worry free. "Hey Harry, where do you think Ginny and Hermione are? Do you think they are ok?" Ron asked more worried then before.

"Ron, I'm sure they are fine!" Harry told his friend.

"Ok, so Harry, you and my sister huh?"

"Oh, that, Ron please don't kill me!"

"Harry, its ok, I trust you, you wont hurt her."

They left the conversation at that and went back to their lunch.

Back in the dorms Hermione, Ginny and Lavender waited for what seemed like forever. Three minutes were up.Hermione looked at the stick.

"What does it say?" Ginny and Lavender asked in unison.

"It.it.says."
