The Day They'll Never Forget
Hermione Granger stood in front of her peers on their last day at Hogwarts as students. She walked up to the podium and began her speech.
"I came her not knowing what to expect. I found friends after being attacked by a troll and have been attacked enough for my life time, thanks. I wanted to recap these seven years but realized it was impossible to do it in one day, much less, but someone has described the last seven in one word. Unbelievable. It was unbelievable what this world is and is capable of. It is unbelievable no one died in the war on the light side. It's unbelievable how easy it is to hide something for two whole years right under everyone's nose. Also, it's simply unbelievable that for the first time in history, a Gryffindor and a Slytherin are engaged. It's unbelievable how confused everyone is now and it's unbelievable how hard this is to say. Your Heads are getting married!" Hermione said, smile on her face as she looked at the shocked faces, only Ginny who had helped them sneak around smiling next to Molly Weasley and the rest of the red heads here to see Ron.
"I wanted to say something too." Blaise said, walking up behind Hermione and wrapping his arms around her waist. "I would kiss you if I didn't think you would hit me later for kissing you in public and the fact a few might puke." he said with a laugh.
"That was very unhelpful." Hermione said as Blaise laughed. "Anyway, I wanted to point that out to you so you won't get worried when we leave to our new house tonight. Before we leave, sorry, he won't be here to kill Ron, I wanted to say the last bit of news that Blaise didn't want me to say, so he can say it." Hermione finished with a smirk.
"That's not what I meant!" Blaise cried. He pouted but Hermione kept her smirk. "Fine, be mean. Are you sure Ron and Harry won't kill me?" he said, nervously eying the two.
"No but we're leaving soon so say it." Hermione said.
"Meany." Blaise hissed in her ear. "We're having a baby," he said in monotone. Some smiled, Harry and Ron looked livid, and a few Slytherins who were still trying to accept the fact they were getting married looked a little angry.
"Look, Harry and Ron aren't that mad." Hermione said brightly.
"WHAT!" Ron bellowed, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU SCREWED MY FRIEND! DIE!"
"Sorry Hermione, I'm with Ron on this one, he deserves to die." Harry said, looking a little mad but controlling it much better than Ron.
"So can we leave now?" Blaise asked.
"Sure, I don't want anyone to get hurt," Hermione said.
"What? I could take them." Blaise said, Ron and Harry smirking.
"I never said it was you I was worried about," Hermione said with a smirk. The two left, Hermione laughing at Blaise's smile and her two friends almost passed out from shock.
The couple apparated to their house and collapsed on their couch. "How you holding up?" Blaise said.
"Three... Two... One... Cue mad people." Hermione said. Right on cue Harry, Ron, and Ginny appeared.
"MOVE SO I CAN KILL HIM!" Ron yelled.
"Ron!" Ginny said, "you promised you wouldn't hurt him if I let you two see them!"
"We won't, the killing curse doesn't hurt." Harry said.
"Harry! Your encouraging him!" Ginny said. Hermione just smiled, leaning on Blaise who looked rather worried. "I tried Hermione, I really did. Nice flat. Oh, I'm so happy your pregnant!" she babbled.
"Thanks, at least someone is supportive. By the way you two, my child is not growing up fatherless so don't even think about it." Hermione said.
"You defended him!" Ron said, only slightly quieter.
"Yes, because you were and are still being a prat. Be happy and stop having murderous thoughts or leave, that goes for you too Harry." Hermione said.
"I vote we eat something, we're missing the feast so please tell me you have food." Harry said, looking around.
"I'll whip something up, Ginny, you want to help?" Hermione asked. Ginny nodded and started to follow Hermione. "Hold back Ron Harry!" she called as she left.
The small group of friends had dinner and talked late into the night. Hermione laid awake that night and looked at the clock, it was three in the morning.
"What's wrong?" Blaise whispered.
"You still awake?" she asked.
"Yup, so, what's wrong?" he whispered into her ear this time.
"The press will kill our first months here." Hermione stated.
"Only if we let it. Besides, they can't get in the house and also, we could put a charm up. You need to sleep, you have an interview tomorrow." Blaise said.
"What are you going to do, you promised to tell me once we got out of Hogwarts." Hermione said, turning toward him.
"Me? Oh, I'm the new Minister of Magic." he said with a grin.
"What?" Hermione asked in shock.
"I'm kidding, settle down," he said laughing. "I actually wanted to talk to you about that, I wanted you to come with me and teach at Hogwarts. No press, just a new batch of students and a nice room." Blaise said.
"What about our new house?" Hermione asked, puzzled.
"Mmm... that was precisely my question to Professor Dumbledore, he said that we could easily get a connector, it's like a swirling hole and you step into it and wind up stepping out of the other one. Instant, no time lapse. You could put it in your office even." he said.
"What about the baby?" Hermione said.
"I asked that too. Hermione, a baby in Hogwarts is no big deal, your sixth years will have them, why can't you? Actually, he wanted you to teach Transfiguration, but McGonagol has that covered, so you would teach a Life class." Blaise said.
"What would you teach?" Hermione said, warming up to the idea.
"Potions." Blaise said.
"What about Professor Snape?" she asked.
"He gets his Defense Against the Dark Arts class finally." Blaise whispered, "that was the terms, he got his job and I'd teach."
"How can I say no to you?" she asked, smiling.
"You can't, I already told Dumbledore you said yes." he said, laughing. Hermione smiled and shook her head.
"What happens if I say no?" she said.
"You won't, you love Hogwarts, I can tell." Blaise said.
"Fine, but on one condition." Hermione said smirking.
"What?" he asked, almost asleep.
"Next time, you get to carry the baby and give birth." Hermione said.
"I don't think so, but you can squeeze my hand off and I will be your humble servant for nine months." he said.
"Deal." Hermione said.
"I'm going to regret this." he said before falling asleep.
"I'm sure you will." she whispered to herself, falling asleep safely inside the arms of the man she loved.
A/N: I know it's short but I tried to wrap up what I already wrapped up! Okay, who thought the sixth book was a disappointment? I got really mad. If you haven't read the book I'll be nice and not spoil it. But he killed of the person, you can't kill off the person! That is so wrong! He was suppose to live. And who killed him was even more wrong! Ugh, I'm so disappointed. Anyway, I hope you liked the epilogue and I'll try so very hard to get the first chapter of the sequel up before I leave but please bare with me this next month or so. I have to go across the country in a car and then become a freshman in high school so I will probably be later on chapters but I promise chapters with five thousand words instead of the almost three thousand I usually write. Oh, BC has five thousand word chapters. Well, good bye and please, for those who read and don't review, acknowledge that you have read this story and help me with my nice dream of getting one hundred reviews on this story, it really isn't much to ask, it's fifteen chapters long.
