a/n: Sorry that I've been taking longer to put out chapters. I've just been super busy. I've been getting ready for Spring Break which is coming up soon. I'm going on holiday, so don't expect a new chapter up for the next two weeks. Maybe I'll be inspired by my trip! Thanks for reading and please leave a review...you know you want to. Laura
It felt like the longest train ride of her life, even longer than the rides to school after summer break when people were so anxious about getting back. But this time, Hermione wasn't anxious about heading home and yet the ride felt longer. With every minute spent on the train she felt farther and farther from Remus. Even if she couldn't see the castle anymore she would keep looking out the window in that direction.

"Hermione?" Ginny asked her softly. "Are you alright?"

Hermione nodded her head. "Yeah, I think so."

"Why don't you just lie down and get some rest. You look exhausted," Ginny said to her. "I'll even get you a blanket," she said getting up.

"No, no, that's fine," Hermione said shaking her head, but she did lie down though. She had never slept on the train, she was always to anxious and bouncy about the ride and being with her friends. She then smirked to herself. She remembered the first time she met Remus it happened to be on the train, and he was sleeping. Of course, she now understood why he had been sleeping, but that didn't change things.

"So are you going to sleep?" Harry asked looking at her, slowly wrapping his arm around Ginny's waist and pulling her closer.

"As long as you two promise not to start snogging as soon as I close my eyes," Hermione said to him.

"We won't," Ginny said shaking her head. "I promise."

"Good," Hermione said nodding. "I just wouldn't want to wake up to have to see that."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Hermione, I think you could deal with me and Ginny snogging since I've seen you and….well, you know," he said looking at her. He gave her a slight smirk, but Hermione just blushed a bright red.

"Well, you weren't supposed to be there," Hermione said. "Besides, we were in a private room, you just walked in at the wrong time."

Ginny laughed and shook her head. "We'll be good. You just relax and get some sleep," she said to her with a smile.

Hermione nodded her head. "Alright. Wake me up when we're almost to the station," she said as she closed her eyes.

"We will," Harry said to her. "Just sleep."

Hermione didn't reply, so Ginny looked at him. "I think she is already," she whispered.

The train ride felt much shorter after that point, since Hermione slept through it all she didn't notice the time going by. Before she knew it Harry was gently shaking her.

"Hermione," he whispered. "Time to get up, we're almost back to London," he said softly to her.

Hermione's eyes fluttered open slowly as she looked at Harry for a moment. She let out a rather big yawn as she sat up slowly. "We are?" she muttered sleepily.

"Yeah, we are. Look for yourself," Harry said as he pointed outside.

Hermione looked out and nodded. "So we are. Thanks for waking me up," she said as she stretched some. "And thanks for recommending the nap Ginny."

"No problem. You looked like you really needed one," she said to her.

"Obviously you did," Harry added as he sat back down next to Ginny, his arm going back around her waist.

Hermione just nodded her head and looked out the window quietly. "I'm so nervous about seeing my parents," she said softly. "I know they said they were ok with it, but words sound different than they look on paper sometimes."

"It will be fine. Just tell them how happy the baby and Remus make you and they'll understand," Harry said to her.

"I hope so," Hermione said looking over at them as the station came into view.

"Just relax and don't worry. Things will be fine. And remember, if things don't go as smooth as you would like, you could always come over to my house," Ginny said to her.

Hermione nodded as she stood up slowly. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind," she said as she went to get her bag.

The three of them got their stuff and headed off the train. They met up with Ron and Lavender who had gotten their own compartment for what the other three thought as rather obvious reasons, which were only strengthened by the smiles on the couple's faces and Lavender's numerous giggles.

Hermione looked at them, and then saw her parents. They looked fine, in fact they were smiling and waving at her. Hermione smiled and waved back, then held up a finger signaling she would be over in a minute.

"Well, they don't look mad or upset," Harry said to her as he glanced at her parents.

"I know, and that's good," Hermione nodded. She then gave them all a hug. "Well, I guess I'll see you at Christmas when I come over with you know who."

Harry nodded his head. "Alright, we'll see you then. And try to relax for awhile. You need it."

Hermione smiled and shook her head. "Why does everyone keep saying that?"

"Because it's true," Ginny said smiling at her. "Now go on. I'm sure your parents are anxious to see you."

Hermione nodded. "Alright, see you later," she waved as she went over to join her parents. Even if they were smiling, she was still nervous. After all, it could have been them just trying to look happy while in front of everyone at the platform. But she went over and her mother gave her a big hug.

"Oh, I've been waiting to see you ever since you sent us that letter," Mrs. Granger said holding her daughter tight. "How are you feeling? Everything ok?" she asked her.

Hermione smiled and nodded as she hugged her mother back. "I'm fine mum, really I am," she said to her.

"Good. I've been worried about you," her mother said looking at her. She smiled and tucked some of her daughter's hair behind her ear. "You look so lovely, in fact, you just glow."

Hermione blushed some and looked down. "Well, I'm not sure about that," she said to her mother.

"I think so," Mrs. Granger said. "Don't you agree dear?"

Mr. Granger was taking Hermione's bag, not really listening to the women in his life talk. "What? Oh, yes dear," he said nodding.

"See," Mrs. Granger said.

Hermione just laughed and shook her head. "Mum, you know he wasn't listening," she said looking at her father as they headed to leave the platform and head home.

"Yes, but he still agreed," Mrs. Granger said smiling at her daughter.

The three Granger's left the station and headed back to their home. Hermione had been tired enough that she fell asleep in the long car ride to their home. Her father woke her up gently and she headed inside. Mr. Granger once again carried her bag inside and up to her room, Mrs. Granger went to start dinner for the family.

Hermione headed up to her room and went to write Remus a letter. She was very thankful that she had convinced her parents to buy an Owl for the house, just so that they could write her at school and she could easily send out letters over the summer and breaks, just as she would be doing now.

She got out some parchment and her quill and ink and set down at her desk to write. But she ended up just looking at the parchment for some time. Hermione then decided to start writing a rather simple letter, just to say she got home fine and her parents didn't look mad at all about her unexpected pregnancy and her even more unexpected choice in boyfriend who was the father of her baby in that said pregnancy.

Hermione was about to write when her mother walked into her room. "Hermione? Can we talk?" she asked her quietly.

Hermione turned around and looked at her mother for a moment. "Oh, sure," she nodded as she set her quill down.

Mrs. Granger nodded and sat on her daughter's bed. "Hermione, I want you to know that your father and I are going to be supportive of you through this," she said to her. "We just want you to understand that we're not mad, or angry, just a little shocked. You're our little girl. We weren't expecting this to happen so soon, or like this."

Hermione nodded her head. "I know mum. I wasn't really expecting this now either. But, it is happening now, and I'm actually excited about having the baby. So is Remus," she said looking at her mother, waiting to see how she reacted to that one.

Her mother nodded and took in a deep breath as Hermione brought up Remus. "Yes, one of your professors I believe he is, right?"

Hermione nodded. "Yes. He was a close friend of Harry's parents and his Godfather, Sirius. He taught a class my third year, and that's when we met. But we became closer over last summer, and that's when we became more mum. We became friends before he took the teaching position this year."

Mrs. Granger looked at her daughter and sighed some, she wasn't sure what exactly to say on the subject. "Well, either way, your father and I still want to meet him. Why don't you invite him for dinner for next Saturday?"

Hermione nodded her head. "Alright, I can do that," she said. "I was just about to write him anyways."

"Alright," Mrs. Granger said standing up. She gently kissed Hermione's forehead. "I'll see you down for dinner soon then."

Hermione just nodded her head as she turned back to the parchment, suddenly finding she had so much more to write to Remus about.
