You know what I just realized? I don't think I ever made Hermione a teacher or did I? IDK I'm so confused! Well Hermione is now a teacher its not an important part but lets just make her one anyway. This might clear some things up.

An Unexpected Visitor
--Chapter 21--
Harry and Hermione went to bed together that night. Both woke up at 11 the next morning since they didn't go to bed until three am (for obvious reasons hehe I didn't feel like writing that scene so use your imagination sorry)
"Good Morning love" Said Harry giving Hermione a soft kiss.
"Mmmm, Good Morning" Hermione Rolled over and saw the time. "Harry its 11 am! were supposed to meet Ron in 30 minutes!"
"Well, lets save time and take a shower together" Harry said.
Both got out of bed and jumped into the shower. They washed each others backs and hair, Harry enjoyed this a little too much.
When they got out it was 11:20. Hedwig was sitting on the bed holding the Daily Prophet.
Harry picked up the paper and there was a picture of Harry and Hermione
Mr. and Mrs. Potter?
Has Young Mr. Harry Potter done it what we think he has? We have reason to believe that Harry potter is engaged to Ms. Hermione Granger (soon to be Potter) Harry Potter supposedly popped the question November 2 and Hermione Granger said yes!
If true, wedding plans and dates are still to be made as it would only be day two of their engagement. If true we wish Harry Potter and Hermione Granger the best of luck in their new life. As soon as we find out if this is true wedding dates will be announced and we will bring you up to date.
Harry Potter if you are reading this please owl me and tell me the truth
Rita Skeeter
"How did she find out, even if she is not sure?" Hermione asked
"No clue, but at least it is true, even though she's trying to hide from what she thinks is a lie, oh well, lets go find Ron" Harry said as the two left.
They found Ron writing in the Common Room. "Hey guys, what's up?" Ron asked
"Nothing" they both said, before awkward silence was placed between the three
"Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm very hungry, lets go to Three Broomsticks and get something huh?" (I don't know if Three Broomsticks is a place to eat, if it wasn't it is now, in one of your reviews let me know please!)
"Hermione, you know its not a Hogsmede weekend!" Ron said
"Of course I know that, but as teachers we can go any time we want and you can come too as long as you are with a teacher." Hermione explained
"Oh then in that case, yeah lets go." Harry said
"Agreed" Ron said
The three walked out of the castle and into the Three Broomsticks.
Harry had entirely forgotten about the article until they walked into Three Broomsticks and everyone got up and started to ask them if they were engaged. Harry walked up to the owner and asked for a private booth. Seeing it was Harry he took him up three flights of stairs to a small room with one table in it.
"Perfect, thank you" Harry said.
They all sat down and three menu's fell down in front of them. Each had a button next to each food that you would push if you wanted it so the waiters and waitresses did not have to go up three flights of stairs. (even though they were witches and wizards)
Harry ordered a steak with no fat well done, and French fries. Hermione got the same thing only medium rare. Ron got a Cheeseburger with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and ketchup.
They all ate when Ron finally asked "So did you two finally pick a date?"
"Yeah June 23rd." Harry said
"Isn't that in like 7 months?" Ron asked
"Yeah but we'll be ready" Harry said smiling at Hermione
Hermione had been silent the entire meal eating her food and being quiet. No sooner had she finished eating she felt the urge to be very sick, the steak must have been really bad.
"Excuse me guys, I'll be right back" Hermione said before she apparated to the bathroom.
She ran into the stall and immediately started to throw up. Once she was finished she cleaned up and went back up to the boys.
"Hey love" Harry said
Hermione loved it when he called her that
"What do you say we take you to that fancy clothing store and let you pick out your wedding dress today?"
"Alright" Hermione said lets go
Harry paid and they dropped her off at the clothing store. While the two guys went shopping
Hermione walked in and the lady behind the desk was reading the Daily Prophet, so Hermione walking into her store, made things click a little. But she asked anyway. "Hello, can I...Hermione Granger? Are you here to pick out your wedding dress?"
"Yes." She said a little scared
"Oh just making sure. Let me just close the shop so we can make this special wedding dress for you." She quickly ran to the front of the store and switched the sign "Now lets see, you want to go with traditional white? Or something untraditional?"
"I'm not sure, I'm more of a traditional person."
"Well I have a few ideas lets try them out alright? Oh, and by the way my name is Doris"
Doris waved her wand and Hermione was dressed in a traditional White wedding gown. It was an off the shoulder dress that dropped just enough to show some cleavage. Along the torso part, little diamonds were placed scattered around that shone like the morning sun. The bottom flowed straight down and went and fell on the floor about five feet. She looked absolutely stunning
"Oh, and let me do your hair quickly so it doesn't ruin the effect" Doris said. She flicked her wand and her hair was up in a big bun at the middle of the back of her head. The entire thing was curled. Inside there was little butterflies that were enchanted so they would flutter. Along the front it was also relaxed but straight and on either side there were three little diamonds that matched the ones in the dress.
"Well you want to see yourself?" Doris asked. Hermione nodded her head. Doris turned the mirror and Hermione looked stunning.
"Don't say anything because I have one more dress for you to try. I must make sure you love your dress and don't change your mind before you come back. That was traditional and this is a little less traditional." She flicked her wand again and another dress appeared.
There was no sleeves to this dress, it hugged her chest perfectly. The top was all little white and black rose buds with a diamonds around everywhere. The bottom fluffed out a little bit and went back about five feet again, only there were two and a half in black stripes that went around alternating with white and curved a tiny bit.
"And your hair would be the same either way" Doris said and flipped the mirror again
"You had to make this hard?" Hermione said looking at herself in the mirror. She looked stunning again.
"Well I think I will go with the traditional white dress." Hermione said
"Well that settles that." Doris wrapped it in a bag "Inside there are instructions on how to do your hair or any alterations in case you lose any weight or god forbid gain weight." Doris chuckled.
"Do you mind if I leave the dress here with you? I want to run one place else before I get my fiancé to come and pay for the dress." Hermione asked
"Not at all, on your way out would you mind flipping the sign to open then?" Doris said
"Sure, thank you again, see you in a little bit!" Hermione yelled over her shoulder and ran off
Ron and Harry had gone to the Jewelry Store to pick out their wedding bands. Harry wanted it to be a surprise for Hermione.
Ron and Harry searched and saw a few that they like but none that they loved. Finally it hit Harry "Ron, lets go to Gringots."
"Why? Don't you have the money for Hermione's dress already?"
"I do but I just thought of something. Come on!" Harry said
They walked fast to Gringots, gave the head goblin his key and someone took him up to his vault.
Inside Ron was one again amazed at how much money he had. Harry went to the back of the vault and opened a chest, grabbed a little blue bag and headed out.
"Whatcha get?" Ron asked as they started their way back
"These" Harry opened the bag and two wedding rings fell out. One was white gold with a little diamond in the center and the other was also white gold but was just a plain band.
"Harry, those are perfect"
"I thought so too" Harry said "I just need to tweak them a little bit but they will be perfect."
Ron and Harry just left Gringots when they ran into Hermione.
"Hermione, you didn't pay for your dress did you?" Harry asked her almost ready to kill her if she did
"No Harry, I um...finished and then went out looking for you and well I found you. The dress is still at the store. Come on!"
The trio walked to the shop where Harry paid 500,000 galeons for the dress. Hermione took the bag and started heading back to Hogwarts since it was now 3:00
"Harry, your not mad that you spent that much on my dress are you?" Hermione asked
"No, I'm sure that whatever you picked out will be beautiful on our wedding day." Harry said with a smile that said I will kiss you later.
Once back at Hogwarts, Hermione hid her dress in a spot that Harry would never find. ("I don't even know where she hid it" said author Sweetie813-hehe) but it was somewhere in her room.
Ron and Harry were in Harry's bedroom playing Wizard chess. So Hermione decided to take out her purchase from the second store.
While in the Three Broomsticks, Hermione did not feel it was the steak that caused her to be sick.
Hermione went into the bathroom and came out twenty minutes later holding a stick, she sat on the bed and started to cry.
Ron and Harry had finished their game and was waiting for Hermione to come back but when she didn't they went to her room. It was locked. Harry knocked "Hermione, it's Ron and me, can we come in?"
Hermione hid the stick in the drawer grabbed her wand fixed her face and hair. She flicked her wand at the door and it opened.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Hermione asked cheerfully
"Nothing, we were waiting for you but you never came back." Harry said
"Yeah I was just having a hard time finding a spot to hide my dress. And I didn't want you walking in finding me hiding it so that's why the door was locked." Hermione said
Harry realized that something was up, there was too much information in that sentence which meant she was hiding something. "Ron, would you mind if I talked to Hermione alone?"
"Sure no problem, I have to finish up an essay anyway." Ron said "Bye Hermione"
"Bye Ron" Hermione said. "Now, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"You put way too much information in the line about hiding your dress. Something is up. Tell me what's wrong?" Harry asked with a concerned face.
"You promise not to be mad?" Hermione asked
"Of course not." Harry said "I could never get mad at you." Harry said placing a soft kiss on her lips.
"Alright then. Here it goes." Hermione said. She reached into the drawer and pulled out the stick, held her wand up to it, mumbled something and then showed it to Harry.
Harry's jaw dropped. "Your pregnant?"
Hermione instantly started to cry. Harry hugged her and said "I'm not mad."
Hermione sniffled and picked up her head "Your not?"
"Of course not, what could be more miraculous?" Harry said
"This is one of the reasons why I love you." Hermione said giving him a kiss.
"When was it conceived?" Harry asked
"Flip it over" Hermione said
Harry flipped it over. November 2
"The night I proposed?" Harry said
"Yup" Hermione said. Harry leaned in and gave her another kiss
Harry went to go and deepen the kiss when Hedwig came to the window. Hermione opened it and Hedwig dropped a letter on the bed. Harry opened it
Harry,
Do I bid you 'Congratulations!'? Are you and Hermione are engaged? I had no clue that you two were even going out! Are you? Rita Skeeter's article is making me afraid to ask. If it is true, here I am, and had to find out from the Daily Prophet.
Please owl back and let me know if this is true. I know Rita Skeeter can lie sometimes just to make a story.
Mrs. Weasley
Hermione had been reading over his shoulder. "Well I guess we should reply."
"Yeah, should we tell her about you being pregnant?" Harry asked
"Might as well" Hermione said
Harry grabbed parchment from Hermione's drawer and a quill and some ink and replied:
Mrs. Weasley,
For once the Daily Prophet is correct, Hermione and I are engaged. We have been going out since the day we arrived at your house in July.
To make up for things that we forgot to tell you, here is things that Rita Skeeter does not know (yet hopefully)):
Hermione has her wedding dress already
We have our wedding rings
"We do?" Hermione asked
"Yeah, I'll show you later" Harry said returning to continue the letter
Hermione is pregnant
Hope to talk to you soon Mrs. Weasley
Harry & Hermione
"She is totally going to flip out when she reads this." Hermione said
"I know, that's why I didn't put anything else." Harry said. "Well, shall we also answer Rita and tell her she is correct while were at it?"
"Sure" Hermione said "But don't tell her that I'm pregnant"
"Didn't plan on it"
Rita Skeeter,
Your suspicions are indeed correct. Ms. Hermione Granger is engaged to be married to me. Everything was true. You may now put it without questioning yourself.
No date has been set.
Harry & Hermione
Harry tied the two letters to Hedwig and told her where to go and she immediately flew off.
"Well, I'm very tired. Shall we go to bed in my room?" Harry asked
"Sure" Hermione said before leaving her room.
