"Hey Ron!" Hermione said and she saw Harry shift in his seat.
"Whose your friend?" He said looking at Harry who smiled softly.
"This is Harr-iet!" She said, correcting herself at last second, though Ron didn't seem to notice.
"Hey Harriet!" He said and shook Harry's hand.
"So why are you here?" Hermione asked.
"Ginny had some sort of accident with one of Fred and George's inventions they were experimenting with, and now every time she speaks she turns different colors!" He said. "What about you?" He asked and the next thing he knew, Harry pushed past them and went to the reception table.
"Excuse me, where are the bathrooms?" He managed to ask and the receptionist pointed to the doors on the left, which he quickly ran through.
Hermione got up and followed and Ron frowned before also following her. He got into the bathroom to hear someone throwing up and then crying; he listened at the cubicle door.
"Oh god Mione! I just want to get this over with!" The voice sobbed and Hermione just comforted.
"Don't worry Harry, only a few more months." She said and Ron frowned. Had she just called her Harry? Only a few more months for what?
"I feel so bad about lying to Ron, but he would hate me if he knew!" He said and it made sense now to Ron, his best friend was in there.
Ron opened the door and both Harry and Hermione looked up. "How long have you been listening?" Harry asked nervously.
"Long enough, Harry, is that you?" Ron said and Harry didn't answer but just stood there, blushing Gryffindor red. Ron took this as a yes and immediately hugged his friend.
"Why did you leave?" Ron asked and Harry didn't answer but shook his head.
"Wait a second, how can you prove you are really Harry?" He said and Harry smirked and lifted his fringe, showing the scar.
Eventually they left the cubicle and sat back down and waited when Mrs Weasley finally noticed Hermione.
"Hello Hermione dear!" She said and Hermione smiled.
"Hello Mrs Weasley!" Hermione said.
"Why Ron didn't invite you and Harry to come stay with us for the summer?"
"He did, but I've been busy with my parents." She said.
"And what about Harry?" She asked before Ginny piped up.
"Didn't you hear mom? He left! He was just gone one morning in April!" She said, her skin turning purple.
"Poor dear!" Mrs Weasley said. "I hope he is alright!" And when she looked away, Ron smirked at Harry.
"Oh, I'm sure he is doing fine!" He said and Harry pulled at tongue at him.
"So, who are you dear?" She asked Harry but before he could answer, Remus answered for him.
"This is Harriet, she is coming from Beaxbeautons to Hogwarts this year!" He said and Harry shot him a death glare.
"Welcome!" She said and they shook hands. "So, what's wrong with you?" She asked.
"Oh nothings wrong, I'm just here for a check up!" He said.
"Isn't that down the other side of the hospital?" Mrs Weasley asked.
"Not for me!" He said, smoothed out his robes and put his hand on his rounding stomach, shocking Ron who hadn't realized that was why they were there.
"Congratulations!" She said and before they could thank her, the nurse called them in.
"I'M NOT GOING BACK!" Harry yelled at Remus when they got back from St mungos.
"You have to Harry! How are you going to support this baby?" He asked. "Anyway, no one has to know that you're pregnant or even know it's you, a simple concealing charm and you're alright!"
"The concealing charm can't be used for the last two months! What am I just supposed to wake up one morning and walk around looking like a beached whale?" He asked, Remus didn't say anything and Harry ran out the room, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Remus sighed, cursed pregnancy hormones and went through the door to find Harry sobbing into his pillow.
"I'm sorry Harry, but you have to go back and get your N.E.W.T.S." He said and Harry shook his head. Remus sighed and walked the room.
Hermione was standing outside the door looking extremely worried. "You try and talk to him, he has to go back!" He said and Hermione walked into the room and closed the door behind her.
"Come on Harry, it won't be that bad!" She said and he looked up at her.
"It's not just the baby Mione, please, don't make me go back and face him, please don't!" He begged and she hugged him.
"I won't make you, don't worry! Hold on, I have an idea, tell Dumbledore, maybe he can organize something!" She said and Harry nodded and started to get up. Hermione pushed him back down again.
"No, I'll tell, you just rest!" She said and Harry lay back down.
"You're the best Mione!" He said and started to drift off to sleep.
not much to say, thanks everyone, and I've finally decideed that there will be a sequel to this :D
