The Amazing Bouncing.Baby
Hermione lay sleeping in the postnatal ward. She had been in labour, an experience she would not like to repeat anytime in the near future, for almost the past twelve hours. At half six in the morning she was informed that she had dilated ten centimetres and was promptly taken to the labour room. And finally at seven am on September 28th her baby entered the world, and a new life had begun.
Slowly the door to Hermione's room slid open, and Harry, Ron and Ginny entered the room. Mrs Weasley had left a few moments before hand. As the trio walked slowly over to Hermione, her eyes fluttered open.
For a few brief moments Hermione hoped that Draco would be with them, but alas he was not. She knew it was stupid to expect him to be there, he knew he didn't want anything to with her or her child.
"Hey Herm'" Harry's warm smile shone down on her. She returned his smile,
"Hi'ya Harry," looking to her other side she meet the smiles of her other best friends, "Hi you guys. Did I miss anything?"
Ginny burst into tears.
"Oh Hermione!" as Hermione pushed herself into a sitting position Ginny flung her arms around her, sobbing into her shoulder. " we were so worried about you."
Hermione started to cry.
Harry and Ron stared at one another.
"It's your sister."
"Yeah well your marrying her, you deal with it."
Sniffing, Ginny and Hermione began to laugh. Looking if possible even more terrified Ron and Harry backed away.
"Ron."
"Don't look at me, you're the one who defects dark and evil magic, you can deal with girls hormones."
Laughing Harry walked back over to Hermione, embraced her, "how you feeling?"
"A lot lighter, thankfully." She turned to Ron who was now at her side and hugged him. As they broke apart he grinned and asked,
"Where's the baby?"
There was a knock at the door. Everyone turned to face it. There was a small glass window round about the top of the door, and just clearly visible was, the top of a silver blond head.
Harry Ron and Ginny felt panic run through their veins. Ginny turned to her brother and Harry and hissed, "I thought you told him to stay outside?"
"Who?" Hermione stared bewildered at her three friends.
"We did!" Harry hissed back, as Ron stared menacingly at the still closed door.
"Who?" Hermione remained ignored.
There was another knock at the door, with once last annoyed glance at her friends Hermione called "Enter."
Harry, Ron and Ginny breathed again, as a young blond mid-wife entered the room holding a bundle of blue towel, "Ah there's my boy."
"BOY?"
The mid-wife smiled at Hermione's visitors as she handed Hermione her baby and left the room. Ginny leaned in to look at the new born child cradled in her friend's arms. Tears began to swell in her eyes as she watched the sleeping baby, "a boy?"
Tears began to swell also in Hermione's eyes, and she nodded beaming.
"Oh my god!" once again Ginny burst into tears, this time Harry put his arms around her, stroking her red hair, so her sobs were stifled in his chest.
Ron looked down at the sleeping baby boy. "Gorgeous isn't he?" Hermione beamed up at Ron who wrinkled his nose slightly,
"He's blond"
"Well he is a Malfoy Weasley, what did you expect?"
Ron and Hermione turned and Ginny looked up in Harry's arms. Harry promptly went red, "sorry" he coughed ", couldn't resist"
Smiling half heartedly, Hermione looked down and her son and sighed, " I wish Draco were here."
As she continued to gaze lovingly at her newborn son she missed the awkward looks on her three best friends faces.
Ginny broke away from Harry and walked back over to Hermione, "can I hold him." Hermione beamed and gently transferred the sleeping boy into Ginny's arms.
As she smiled lovingly, the small baby cradled in her arms gave a small yawn. Tears began to swell in Ginny's eyes once more but she bit them back, to wanting to drown her friend's newborn son. "Oh he's so beautiful, even if he does look like Malfoy." She continued to beam at the baby, who gave another yawn, showing toothless gums in his thin-lipped mouth, he was almost completely bold, if not for a few small blond curls on his tiny pink head.
"Don't let Malfoy hear you insult him like that." Ron joked.
"Don't be stupid Ron," Ginny laughed as she transferred the still sleeping baby into Harry's arms, "Malfoy's in the waiting room he can't hear me in here"
In a flash Hermione's head snapped in Ginny's direction.
"WHAT!"
