Chapter 15: Meeting the Parents
The two young couple walked with each other early the next morning to go see Dumbledore. They passed by all the enchanted paintings and all the statues of the old castle. Draco couldn't help but looking down at Hermione and at her stomach, knowing that *their* child was growing inside of her. Hermione saw Draco glancing at her, so she decided to find out what his mind was thinking of.
"What? Why do you keep on staring at me?" Hermione asked. Draco just stopped short and just stared at the mother to be.
"I would never think of anyone else I want to have a child with, then with you Hermione" Draco said. Hermione quickly developed tears and embraced Draco in her arms. They were having an intimate moment when they were interrupted by a cough.
"Ms. Granger, Mr. Malfoy, I see you have finally made it to my office" Dumbledore said standing outside his office. Hermione and Draco blushed furiously and quickly nodded their heads.
"Now I have developed a portkey that can send you to the gates of Mt. Olympus, but only you can truly open the gates yourself" Dumbledore said. Hermione and Draco both nodded and each grabbed one part of the rattle.
"Honestly Professor do you think this portkey is necessary…." Hermione said before she was transported. Dumbledore just stood and shook his head.
"Yes it is my dear, yes it is"
********************
They were being whizzed from one place to another, when suddenly Hermione and Draco heard a distant voice.
"Welcome my daughter, I haven't seen you in a long time" said Athena. (A/N: I forgot her other mom, but I think Athena suites her best for Hermione)
"Yes and same with you son" Poseidon says. Hermione and Draco gave each other glances and began to embrace their parents. After a few moments they let go of each together and a cloud appeared before them.
"Come you two we have much to talk of" Athena said. She and Poseidon stepped onto the cloud and motioned the others to do so. As they stepped on the ball of fluff they were lifted about 100 feet in the air until they saw a golden castle with every god and goddess hearts desire. They walked into a room that was covered all in marble, like the great age of Greece. Athena and Poseidon sat on one couch, while Hermione and Draco sat on another. There was silence for a few seconds before Hermione broke the silence.
"You know why we have come to see you right?" Hermione asked. Athena gave her daughter a look, but quickly covered it up.
"Yes we have and it is wonderful that you both have found one another and it was perfect timing, but the arrival of your son was not" Athena said motherly. Hermione gave her a bedazzled look, while Draco's mouth was wide open.
"A boy? It's gonna be a boy?" Draco said happily. Hermione just rolled her eyes at him and looked back towards her mother.
"You can tell that were very happy it's a boy, but isn't giving birth to a god different hen giving birth to a mortal?" Hermione asked Athena and Poseidon. Athena just laughed at her.
"Good heavens child no, if anything it's easier, we feel no pain, so you can practically give birth anywhere" Athena laughed out loud. Hermione was a bit taken back by this and Athena explained.
"Don't worry darling you will have Draco here, if anything happens, but just go about your life naturally and eat naturally, you'll be fine" Athena said. Draco was rubbing Hermione's stomach and Hermione smiled down on him, he really was gonna be a great father.
"Draco can I see you for a moment, lets take a walk shall we?" Poseidon called Draco over towards him. They walked to the other side of the marble room. Athena walked over toward Hermione seat and embraced her.
"Oh I love you so much you have no idea" she let go of her and Hermione saw the tear stained face of a goddess.
"No matter what happens to you, you have already proven that you are worthy of being my daughter and don't you ever forget that" Athena said. Hermione just embraced even more and held each other like that for a few seconds.
"There is just one more thing you must know, you must practice your powers everyday so your emotions don't overrun them, because you will still get mood swings every now and then" she said. Draco had finally come back from talking to his father and wrapped an arm around Hermione's waist.
"Ready to go back now?" Poseidon asked. Both of them nodded and with a swift of his trident they were back at the gates of Mt. Olympus.
"Ready to go back to Hogwarts?" Draco asked. Hermione gave him a loving look.
"Ready as I'll ever be" and with that there was a pop and they were going back to Hogwarts.
