[A/N: Definition of a :

Magical Pregnancy: A pregnancy caused by a potion. Any pregnancy by sexual-happenings is called a "Muggle Pregnancy" because it's human nature(Same to Witches as to Muggle women). A pregnancy like Hermione's, which was caused by a potion is "Magical" because she is a good girl and didn't do anything she wasn't supposed to do. ;) And, since the baby wasn't caused by human nature, the magical properties of the Merperson Scale speed up time, so, it'll be one month, and Hermione's body will already have gone through 3 months of the pregnancy.

Okay, so I hope I cleared that up... if not I'll try to make it better. Now Enjoy!]

According to Snape

(Snape's POV)

My Office

"Severus?" What does that old fool want now?

"Yes Headmaster?"

"Could you please accompany me to the Hospital Wing?"

"Of course headmaster." What happened this time?!?!

Hospital Wing

"Mr. Potter, after taking 'Essence of Eagnura', did you experience any discomforts or anything out of the ordinary?" Madam Pomfrey questioned Harry.

"I..I..um.. I changed into a girl.. but that was it. Nothing else happened."

Madam Pomfrey then turned to Professors Dumbledore and me.

"Miss Granger tells me that she did not experience any of the effects of 'Essence of Eagnura'. She claimed to be fine until her stomach started to churn and she passed out while climbing the stairs to her dormitory."

"Severus, are you sure you put out Welsh Green Dragon scales?" Dumbledore politely asked me.

"I'm quite sure I had the Welsh Green Dragon scales out.. but I also had Merperson scales in the cabinet.." Wait... dameouth bile, male DNA, and Welsh Green Dragon scales, and a Merperson scale. That means... "Oh no."

"Oh no indeed..." Dumbledore replied.

"So am I possibly correct in thinking that Miss Granger is..." Madam Pomfrey said in a semi-whisper.

"I believe so..." Dumbledore somberly replied.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL'S WRONG WITH ME??????"

Hermione Granger... pregnant? Oh no, this isn't going to be good. Not good at all. Her bossy attitude multiplied by overactive hormones. And since when did she start swearing?

Curse the magical pregnancies. These next three months are going to be a living Hell. The Dark Lord won't possibly even rate on the scale of what I'm going to have to deal with. Thank Merlin I only have her for potions. McGonnagall is going to suffer.

Hermione moaned, "My stomach is feeling funny again..."

Dumbledore spoke again. "Well Miss Granger, we're not completely sure, we'd have to test you but we believe that you could be..." he took in a breath "You could be, well, pregnant."

"I'M WHAT?!?!? How could a potion which temporarily changes your gender get me pregnant? How come it didn't do anything to Harry? I followed the directions precisely! Nothing should be wrong!" She was starting to pant. Merlin she's going to be moody.

I can't help but somewhat pity her. But then again it was her fault for picking the wrong ingredient. Then again, it's very unlike her to make such a mistake...

"Well Miss Granger. Again, we'll have to give you a test, but we do believe you're pregnant. As to your first question, Merperson scales and Welsh Green Dragon scales look almost identical. It's a very easy mistake to make defining the difference..."

I shot daggers at him. What the hell do you mean Dumbledore? 'Very easy to make the defining difference?' I happen to be a potions master. I don't make adolescent mistakes! It was her fault for picking the wrong scale. It is my ingredients cabinet! Merperson scales are ingredients in potions!

"As to why you ended up pregnant, it's a matter of mixing ingredients. When dameouth bile, male DNA, and Welsh Green Dragon scales, and even one Merperson scale are mixed together, this is the result, to females. It's common, so don't get worried. You did nothing wrong when concocting the potion -only mixed up the scales. As to why nothing out of the ordinary happened to Mr. Potter, it's because Merperson scales, when mixed with male -er- genes, cancel each other out."

Nicely put Dumbledore. Let's just give her a reproduction lesson right now.

"What do you mean mixed with Male DNA? And why does it not affect males?" Hermione snapped. Then she seemed to realize she was talking to Dumbledore. "I'm sorry Professor Dumbledore. It's just... why?"

"It's quite alright Ms. Granger. Well, one of the ingredients was a strand of hair from the opposite gender, and since Harry -er- is of the opposite gender, the new baby's genes are half his."

"WHAT?" Harry and Hermione shouted. I couldn't help but gag. These two are going to be all over each other soon enough. A sight, which I may say, will permanently scar me.

"You heard me correct, and to answer the second question, it's just a matter of human functions. Males can't get pregnant, and I told you already, too many of their genes cancel out the effect of Merperson scales."

Hermione started to whack her head."Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!!!!!!"

"Miss Granger, hitting yourself in the head will do nothing other then give you a headache. You are awake, if everyone would be kind enough to leave the room, I can determine if she really is pregnant before we further this discussion!" Madam Pomfrey snapped.

Outside the Room

Saved by the overprotective nurse. THANK YOU! I rushed out of the Hospital Wing. I needed to get down to the dungeons and check on something...

"OOOUUUCCCHHH!!!!"

I flinched. It has to be painful. This is an absolutely revolting thing to think, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to sterilize my mind after this, but I'm sorry for Hermione. She's an absolutely snobbish know-it-all, and she doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut, but she really doesn't deserve this. Ug.. "Scourgify!" There, I cleansed my mind. Much better.

Dungeons

"47, 48, 49" Thank goodness. Only one. She only used one Merperson scale. Only one child. Good. But why did she chose this when the Welsh Green Dragon scales were right... Where are the Welsh Green Dragon scales?

I searched, I summoned, I can't find them. Did I misplace them? Surely not, but even them they would have come when I summoned them! Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I walked to my office and bewitched the door so it wouldn't open to 'alohomora'. I opened the filing cabinet, unlocked the safe and took out my penseive. Putting my wand in the penseive I took all the thoughts in there out. I then inserted them into my mind. I then raised my wand to my temple and thought about the Gryffindor/Slytherin potions class this morning. Ah, there it is. Okay, time to see who did it.

I flicked my wand towards the blackboard.

"You are to be making the potion 'Essence of Eagnura'. Essence of Eagnaura will temporarily change your gender. Instructions are on the board, ingredients are in the cabinet..." I again flicked my wand and the cabinet doors sprung open. "Since this is a potion that involves DNA from the opposite genders I suggest you pair into groups of two-obviously with the opposite gender."

In the memory I sat at the desk but I needed to see who did what so I walked over to the cabinet. Misters Weasley and Potter were getting their ingredients, and ah, there's where Mr. Potter made his mistake, he just dropped one scale back into the jar. Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Crabbe came up next. As well as Ms. Patil. Ah, Mr. Longbottom.

Neville turned the jar over and dumped all the Welsh Green Dragon scales into his hand. He counted 12 and then sneezed. He dropped the jar and the rest of the scales fell to the floor.

'You bloody klutz.'

He kicked the ones on the floor under the cabinet, and threw the jar into the trash bin. He then reached up.. and took down another jar of Welsh Green Dragon scales.

'Wait... those aren't Welsh Green Dragon scales! Those are Merperson scales! Neville Switched the jars! And here comes Hermione..."

Hermione took one scale from the jar and walked back to her cauldron.

'She didn't pick the wrong ingredient! Longbottom switched them instead of getting into trouble!'

"LONGBOTTOM!" I shouted. I must inform the headmaster. I'll be the one blamed for this. It's NOT MY FAULT! I jerked myself out of my penseive and found myself back in my office. I took the pensieve under my arm, unlocked my door, relocked it and headed towards the headmasters office.

"Canary Cremes" the password. after all the trouble those twins got into he insists on using one of their pranks as a password. I really do think that he's mad at times.

"Headmaster?" I asked.

"Come in Severus."

"Headmaster, I just went into my memory of this morning's class between Gryffindor and Slytherin, and I discovered how Miss Granger came across the Merperson scales."

"Okay Severus. Please continue."

"Mister Longbottom dropped the jar of Welsh Green Dragon scales. He then threw away the glass of the jar and kicked the scales underneath my cabinet. He then reached for what I'm guessing was thought to be another jar of Welsh Green Dragon scales when actually it was the Merperson scales. Miss Granger picked a scale out almost immediately after. And everyone else had already gotten their ingredients." I finished in a tone of satisfaction. I can't be blamed this time! I knew I didn't make such a beginners mistake.

"Oh dear. Well, please don't notify Mr. Longbottom about his mistake. His confidence is at a low level as it is and I don't think he could handle the truth about it. Miss Granger, under her hormonal imbalance would probably do something that we would all regret, so I'm asking you not to say anything to anyone. But rest assured that no one is blaming you."

"Thank you Headmaster." I left the office with a smile playing at the corner of my mouth. Longbottom will just pay in class.

Author Notes

nienie: Well I hope you liked this chapter! It's all Snape's POV, and personally I don't think he's such a bastard as he makes everyone believe. And instead of blaming it on his supplier I blamed it on Neville! poor Neville Everything is always his fault lol, so why not add this to it too? Also, I added the definition of a magical pregnancy to the beginning of the chapter. I didn't mean for it to be confusing.

Arestoktra: Thanks! I'm trying to write longer, but this chapter is just from the hospital visit until we find out who switched the scales. I'll try to make it longer!

crazy-dancer: lol lot's of wow's. Thanks!

Misty's Dawn: There are too many computer bugs going around. grrr... I still don't know what's wrong with my computer. And Hermione doesn't admit she's wrong nearly often enough... sounds familiar cough-me-cough

HyPPerBuBBleGum143: Well, I hope this story turns out at least okay. I mean it's my first fanfic that's not a one-shot. As for if it's a girl or boy... you're just going to have to wait and find out!
