"Professor, I was wondering if you could grant Hermione and I some time off. Professor Dumbledore said I could take her to Hogsmeade, for clothes. And at a time when no other students are there." Harry questioned McGonagall.

"Potter, I can give you what you need. The staff knows somewhat of Hermione and your situation, you were both already absent from classes much."

"Thank You Professor."

"You're Welcome Mr. Potter."

Harry turned to exit, but was stopped. "-And Mr. Potter," said McGonagall.

"Yes?"

"Take care of Ms. Granger"

"I will, Professor." he said, and walked out the door into the hallway. He walked back up the stairs to his and Hermione's shared dormitory.

He was pondering what Hermione would do after the baby, picturing the future with Hermione and her son or daughter, never again would she be able to do all the things she wanted. He thought of how brave she was, and not just taking the easy way out, with aborting the child. Every time he thought of Hermione and what she did, he had a renewed respect for her.

He muttered the password to the Portrait guarding his entrance and pushed his way into his common room. He was greeted with absolutely no sound, comprehending that Hermione must be asleep. He walked to his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed.

Harry awoke to the sound of his shower running. He quickly rose out of bed and knocked on his bathroom door.

"Oh, It's me Harry. I'm sorry. My bathroom shower wasn't working, so I thought I could use yours." Hermione called through the bathroom door.

"Its alright 'Mione, you just scared me!" Harry replied.

He opened his wardrobe and took out an oxford shirt and his slacks. He pulled off his pajama shirt and heard the door to the bathroom open.

"Hey Hermione" he said. Hermione stared at Harry's well toned chest. Quidditch made him look nice, she mused.

Harry noticed Hermione was wearing a bathrobe, and under other circumstances he would have teased her, and maybe more. Things had changed so much now, he was scared to kiss her. And they were boyfriend and girlfriend, it was not too weird. But now, Harry treated Hermione like a fragile doll.

Hermione walked out of Harry's room and towards her own. "Harry, Ill be ready in a few minutes, and then we can go to breakfast, ok?"she called out.

"Sure, "Mione. I just need a few minutes as well." He answered her.

Harry buttoned his shirt buttons up, but left the top two open. He then pulled on a school sweater, with the Gryffindor crest emblazoned on it. He then put on his warm school robes. He didn't yet tell Hermione about their trip together to Hogsmeade. He figured he would tell her at breakfast.

He swung open his bedroom door and called to Hermione, "Ready Hermione?".

"Almost. Could you come here Harry, I need help." she called back to him.

He walked to her door and slowly opened it. He found her sitting on her bed, with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"What is it, 'Mione?" he asked with great care in his voice.

"I-I can't" she whimpered, "I can't close my zipper. I really am pregnant." She said, and then started to cry strongly.

Harry didn't really understand. "Hermione, its ok. We will get you new clothes."

"Its not the clothes Harry! I'm going to be, so fat, I know. Its, Its that... Till now, I didn't really feel too pregnant. But now I do, and its slowly coming to me what is going to happen."

He just patted her on the back as she let the tears run freely down her cheeks.

"Here, let me help Hermione."

She stood up and removed her robes. Her skirt was clearly too small for her, the zipper was open completely, and Hermione looked as if she couldn't breathe.

"Hermione, why don't you wear something else today? McGonagall gave us permission anyways to go to Hogsmeade, we can eat there, so we don't need uniforms."

"Harry, nothing fits!"

Harry began to leave the room, "Try and find something Hermione, Ill go change into non-uniform as well. And if you need any help, just yell for me. Alright?"

She nodded.

Harry closed the door quietly behind him and changed into more comfortable pants. He then pulled off his uniform sweater and shirt, and put on a regular t-shirt and sweater over it.

He then walked into the common room, and heard Hermione rummaging around her room.

He knocked at her door. "You can come in Harry. I don't care anymore."

He walked in, to find Hermione in the same uniform skirt and a bare camisole. Again, under a different circumstance he might have taken advantage of the situation and go over to kiss her, but he held himself back and just stood.

He walked over to her wardrobe and searched through her neatly stacked piles of sweaters. He pulled out a large-looking pale blue sweater, and handed it to Hermione. She pulled it over her head, and it did indeed fit her.

He then opened her closet door to find many different colored skirts and pants. "Which one of these do you think will fit best?" he asked Hermione.

She walked up to him and pulled out a knee length black skirt. Harry turned around as she took off her uniform skirt and put on the black one.

"Umm, Harry... do you mind helping me zipper it?"

He turned around and walked closer to Hermione. He bent down to reach where the zipper was, and carefully zippered up her skirt. His thumb accidentally touched her skin, and Hermione flinched on instinct. She breathed, and then turned around. "Don't worry about it Harry. Thank you." she said, and kissed him on the cheek. He went closer to her, and she hugged him tightly. "Oh Harry, I l--"she started to say, but cut herself off.

"Lets go" she said, and took Harry's hand.
