Authors Note: Thank you reviewers! I am in mid-final season, but I really want to write and
please my readers! So here... another chapter. I have a final picture of the story's end, but I just
write what comes up in each chapter.
A further note: I am writing as a response to many of your questions and comments on Hermione
keeping the baby. Yes, she was raped. And in her situation, I do not know what I would do. The
right thing, which I think would be a Hermione thing, is to keep it. Yes, I know that its not
Harry's! But Please just trust me, it IS my storyline.
P.S.-anyone know how to do a wordcount in Word Perfect 11? And I still need beta-readers so

Harry tip-toed around his and Hermione's common room. Hermione's face was buried in her
arms, and she sat and sobbed near the fire. He walked around the red fluffy armchair she was in,
and thought about slowly walking up to her.
At last second, he announced himself. "Hermione," he said softly, "Im sorry"
He realized that sneaking up on her might be traumatic to her. After all, it was sneaking up on her
what got her to be like this.
She continued sobbing. "I might sound like an idiot, Harry. But I really don't know what
to do. All my life I saw a clear path of where I would be. Now I agreed to have this baby, and I
can't imagine myself seven months pregnant, let alone a mother."
Harry sat on the edge of her chair. He softly breathed on her and whispered, "Hermione, it
is probably petrifying to be in your position. But I swear, I am here! Im with you. Just let me be
here for you, ok?"
She picked up her head. Her tear-streamed innocent face reminded Harry of an 11 year
old who he had developed a crush on, back in first year. Hermione.
"Harry, how can you say that! In 10 years from now, Ill be all on my own and still having
this THING. Nothing is ever certain."
"Hermione, I will always be there if you need me! I promise"
Hermione moved over on her chair, so Harry could sit. He softly stroked her hair, as she stared
into the fire. He could tell she was holding back tears.
She lied down on the chair, and fell asleep. Harry smiled to himself, realizing that this is
probably the second of many times that Hermione would just tire out and fall into slumber. And
like the night before, he carried her into her bedroom.
'Should I go back to lessons, or stay here and wait for Hermione to wake up?' Harry
thought to himself.
He mused it over, hmm lessons=boring, staying with 'Mione....
He walked out of Hermione's bedroom and stepped into the common room area. He was
about to sit on the scarlet and gold colored couch when he heard a soft knock on the door. He
opened the door and found a freckled red-headed boy outside the portrait.
"Ron! What are you doing here? Don't we have potions or some class?"
"Actually Harry, its Arithmancy. And the only reason I am going to that class is to be with
Hermione, and she's not there. Nor are you, might I add."
"Oh, I get it. Um, well, Hermione is sleeping..." and he spilled out the story of Hermione
being hysterical.
"You have to admit mate, she has full right to be." Ron proclaimed.
"I am not saying she should not Ron, I am just telling you how she is"
"Why don't you take her to Madame Pomfrey?"
"If I suggest that, she will probably never speak to me. She doesn't want to do anything for
herself being- you know- like this. She just wants everything to go away. What am I supposed to
do?"
"Firstly, you could let me in, that way we both won't get into trouble for skiving off a
class."
Harry blinked. "Oh!" And he opened the portrait door.
They both stepped into the common room, and Harry told Ron to whisper.
"So, what are we going to do?" Harry said, and sounded hopeless.
"Do you love Hermione?" Ron asked him.
What a question! "Yes" he answered, sounding very sure and loud. "Of course I do, more
than anything"
"Well, then you should know what to do"
"But I don't! Of course I want to be with her, but what can I do already?"
"Harry, come on stop being thickheaded. You know you should-"
Ron paused and motioned to the back of Harry's head. "You know you should wake Hermione,
she wouldn't want to miss Arithmancy!"
"Huh?" then it hit him "Oh yeah, Ill go wake her" He turned around and saw Hermione.
"Hermione! Yeah, Ron just told me to wake you up. I'm sorry"
"What were you two just talking about?"
"What do you mean, 'Mione? Ron wondered where we were, he came here and I told him
you were sleeping. Then he said I should wake you up, Did you have a good rest?" Harry said
that all a bit too quickly to be innocent.
"Oh come off it Harry, just tell me"
"Alright," he said a bit nervously. "We were talking about you"
"What about me?" Hermione said very calm.
"Its just that, I-We are worried about you Hermione."
Ron sat silent the whole time. He wondered to himself, 'When had the roles changed?
When Harry can't talk to his girlfriend and I have a good relationship?' he had a slight smirk
cross his face, and Hermione caught it.
"What is so funny? And I'm sorry If you are both worried about me. I am too! I'm a little
crazy because my hormones are probably nuts and its worse than a daily PMS. I'm sorry!"she
was on another dangerous verge of tears.
Harry knew to jump up and stop them. "No, Hermione. You deserve to be -craz not
yourself." He caught himself, while soothing her. "Don't worry. We will never think less of you,
or anything, We want to help you and be here for you. Right Ron?"
"Of Course. Hermione, you know that you can tell us or ask us for anything. Come on,
this is our 7th year together, don't you know us?" Ron said.
Harry walked up to Hermione and gave her a hug. She hugged him back which was
definitely a good sign. Then Ron gave Hermione a squeeze and made her swear that if anything
was wrong, she would go to him or Harry first thing.
Then Harry and Ron both looked at each other and nodded. They pounced on her, and
tickled her till she wriggling and laughing harder than ever. It was a trick of theirs since 6th year.
She caught her breath and muttered something under it. Then both Harry and Ron had a
fit of laughs. "Rictusempra... no Hermione thats breath breath mean!" Ron said, and then
burst out laughing again.
"Finito Incantitum" Hermione finally said.
"Thanks boys" Hermione said, with her old nickname for the both of them.
"Hermione, I am seriously affronted. How old do you think I am, 11?" Harry said.
"Umm, Yes!" she said, and ran to her room laughing. She slammed the door before they could
get her again.
"Knock Knock, 'Mione you know you have to open that door sometime. Come on Harry,
lets go to our lessons" Ron said.
"Come on Ron, ooh Hermione is going to miss lots of note-taking. And we won't share
our's thats for sure"
"Its not like you take them anyways, boys" she said as she opened her door.
"Come on" they walked hand in hand, all three of them. But not to lessons, to the Great Hall.
Each of them was smiling, for now.
