Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter…I own the plot and characters you do not recognise.
A/N: ok due 2 one person complaining (Power Punk you are so getting a rant 4 that review) I shall do my replies at the end of the chpt. All I have to say about this chpt is that I really didn't like it very much. Eh, but I hope you all read and review. Love you all heaps (cept Power Punk…argh I shall yell) and plz read away! Oh, and also, Mione got pregnant so quickly cuz she's a witch and Harry's a wizard and the "sperm" (haha wat a funny word) reached the egg quicker cuz they're special…eh I'm sticking by that explanation.
The Day I Woke Up in my Best Friend's Bed
Chapter Eleven: Good News and Bad News Part One
I can't believe how fast everything's gone. I mean, it was only yesterday that I woke up in my best friend's bed. And now I'm pregnant with twins and engaged! It's so hard to believe.
Well, we're in the car on our way to my parents' house to tell them about me and Harry and the babies.
"It'll be fine," Harry said reassuringly, squeezing my hand as he turned into the street my parents live on.
I sighed and said "I know. I just don't know how they'll react."
"They love you, no matter what," he said gently. "They'll support you."
I smiled and said "Thanks Harry."
He pulled into their driveway and turned the car off. I took a deep breath and opened the car door and climbed out. Harry followed me up to the front door and I knocked.
"Coming!" I heard mum yell. Harry took my hand in his and we waited for mum to come to the door. She opened it and as soon as she saw us her face broke out into a smile. "Hermione! Harry! Come in!"
"Hi mum," I said, kissing her cheek as I walked past.
"Hi Mrs Granger," Harry said, kissing her cheek too as he followed me.
"Harry, call me Emma. How many times do I have to tell you?" she asked cheerily. "Come on. Steve is in the living room." As we walked through the house to the back room mum asked "So, what brings you two here?"
"Harry and I have something to tell you," I said nervously.
"Okay. Steve! Hermione and Harry are here!" she said happily as we entered the living room.
Dad stood up grinning at us. "How are you two?" he asked, hugging me tightly and then shaking Harry's hand.
"We're fine," Harry said with a glance at me.
"We have something to tell you guys," I said looking at my shoes. Hey, I just noticed, my shoes are really nice. I love my black boots. Oh wait, I'm supposed to be telling the story, eh?
"Well, come sit down," Dad said looking slightly concerned.
Harry and I walked over to the sofa and sat down while mum and dad sat down on the sofa opposite us. "Uh, well, see the thing is …" I began to say.
"We're in love," Harry finished my sentence.
Mum grinned again and said "That's fantastic!"
"Yeah!" Dad agreed smiling. "What's wrong though?"
"I'm pregnant," I said, avoiding looking at their faces.
"With twins," Harry said squeezing my hand.
Silence. Mum and dad just sat there with dumbfounded looks on their faces and I braced myself for an outburst from my father. But he didn't yell and nor did my mother.
Instead, mum smiled reassuringly and said "Is that a good thing or a bad thing sweetie?"
"Uh, well we weren't sure how you were going to take it," I mumbled looking at my shoes again.
"Oh Hermione," Dad said smiling at me. "Just as long as you two are happy we'll be happy."
I looked up at him and smiled back. "Thanks guys."
"But, um, are you two going to get married?" mum asked tentatively.
Harry grinned and said "Yes."
"Okay then. Seems we have a wedding to organise then!" mum said enthusiastically.
"Just wait on that front," I said quickly. "We haven't told the Weasley's yet and I seriously doubt that Mrs Weasley will approve of this."
Mum snorted and said "It doesn't matter what she thinks. Hell, it doesn't matter what we think. What matters is that you two are in love and you're gonna get married."
I smiled and said "Thanks mum."
"Is that all you came here to tell us?" dad asked.
I looked at Harry and said "Yeah. I think so."
"Okay. Well, you should be off to see the Weasleys now," mum said standing up.
"Emma," dad said sternly.
She stopped smiling and sat down and said "I know."
"You've got to tell her."
"But …"
"Emma," he said in that stern voice again.
"Guys, what's wrong?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
Mum sighed and looked at me. "Sweetie you know how my grandmother died of breast cancer?"
'Oh no. Oh god no,' I thought with dismay.
"Well, I've been diagnosed with that," she said softly and looking down at her shoes. It's a habit both my mother and I find hard to break. We always look down at our shoes when we're saying something we don't want to or if we're uncomfortable.
I looked at her face and tears came to my eyes as I saw the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mum," I whispered, crossing the living room and sitting down next to her and hugging her. She hugged me tightly back as my tears drenched her shoulder. Why is life so cruel! WHY THE HELL IS LIFE SO HORRIBLE!
"Can't magic fix that?" Harry asked looking confused.
I pulled back and wiped my tears away. I sniffed and said "No. They're trying to find a cure but there's been no success yet. Are you having the chemo?"
"I'm not sure," she said slowly.
"But you have to!" I said immediately.
"Hermione …"
"No! Mum you have to have the chemo! If … if you don't … you might not be able to see …" I trailed off, my tears running down my cheeks uncontrollably.
Mum sighed again and said "Hermione, I'm sorry."
I glared at her and said "Sorry doesn't cut it mum."
"What, do you think I want this to happen to me!" she suddenly yelled, standing up and going red in the face.
I started crying again and Harry moved across the room to hug me. I buried my face into his chest, pounding it lightly and crying.
"Hermione I'm sorry," mum said, her voice wavering.
"I think I should take her home," I heard Harry say softly.
"Sure," dad replied. I felt him stand up off the couch and heard him take mum out of the room.
"Mione?" Harry said, pulling back slightly and looking into my face. "We're gonna go home now, okay?"
I nodded weakly and we stood up and walked out of the house without saying goodbye to my parents. I could hear my mother crying in the next room as we walked out the front door and I felt an urge to run back in there and tell her I was sorry. But Harry steered me towards the car and before I knew it we were driving home in silence.
That was a pretty shitty way to end the visit.
A/N: Okay, due to some shithead saying they didn't like my replies and that they took up more than half of the chpt, I shall now do my replies at the bottom of each chpt so the ppl who don't review and assholes like Power Punk don't have to read them at the beginning.

Power Punk: I have a lot to say to you. I'm not sure if you're actually still reading but if you are I hope you take me very seriously when I say DO NOT TELL ME TO STOP REPLYING TO MY REVIEWERS! I APPRECIATE ALL OF MY NICE AND CONSTRUCTIVE REVIEWS AND I LIKE TO REPLY TO THEM! I get irritated very easily and ur review just made my day even fucking worse. A) I had a shitty day at skool, b) I had just finished a fight with my father and c) my little brother was running around the house singing bloody eminem (sorry 2 ppl who like him…I just cant stand his music so sorry). You are entitled to have your opinion but do not ever tell me to stop writing replies and A/Ns. Do you know why I reply? Or why I put A/Ns? Obviously not, otherwise you would not have complained. I answer reviews because it makes the whole thing with reviewing worthwhile. I know that I like to hear that authors appreciate my review and I know a lot of other people do as well. The reason I put A/Ns is that it sometimes explains some things in the chpt or what I thought about it. And if you don't like it then DON'T READ THEM! IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT! ARGH! Wouldn't that be the logical thing to do? Just don't read them! And, by the way, you are the only person who seems to think my story has become 'lame' … so if I were you I'd just shut up and see what happens next because I assure you, what happened this chpt and what will happen in later chpts is NOT lame.
