Chapter Two: Finding Out.

It had been a little over two months since Harry's death. Hermione had moved into another apartment with Lily and was finally getting her life back together. Molly didn't want her to go but Hermione knew it was time to get her life back together. She would never fully be over Harry but she couldn't go on living like a zombie for the rest of her life.

Hermione was getting Lily ready to take her to see her Grandparents when she suddenly realized something. She ran over to where she had hung her calendar and checked the dates. She stared at the calendar in horror. It was the 13th of June…she was late. Hermione didn't have time to think that she might be pregnant and in any case she certainly didn't want to be especially now that Harry was gone. Instead she put it down to stress and continued getting Lily ready. She had taught Lily how to side-along apperate and that was how she got to her parents house. They were pleased to see them both. Hermione pushed her worries out of her mind and enjoyed her day with her parents, Luke and Renée Granger.

That night, after she had put Lily to bed, Hermione's mind wandered to what she had realized earlier. She knew that there was a chance she could be pregnant and thought that maybe she should get a test done. A muggle home pregnancy test would be fairly accurate.

"I'll get it tomorrow!" she said to herself. Deciding to worry about it then, Hermione went and had a nice long hot bath to relax and then watched a bit of telly before going to bed.

The next day Hermione woke up feeling both worried and anxious. She knew what the day could potentially hold for her and that made her feel all kinds of different emotions. She got out of bed and slowly dressed. As she pulled her light blue singlet top, Lily came bouncing in the room wearing a purple sequin dress, long stripy socks and thongs. Hermione laughed at her and led her back into her bedroom across the hall and chose something for her to wear that matched her beautiful green eyes. She smiled at Lily and they went into the kitchen.

"What do you want for breakfast sweetie?" Hermione asked her daughter.

"Can I have some chocolate?" Lily asked hopefully.

"No. What about some porridge?"

"I don't like porridge. It taste yucky."

"I thought you loved it."

"Not no more. Daddy loved it too. That's why it tastes yucky. Mummy when is Daddy coming home?" Hermione looked at Lily whose eyes were filled with sadness. She got down to her level and hugged her.

"Honey. Daddy can't come back. He went to heaven remember?"

"Why?"

"Because he had to. He is watching us both though."

"But I want him here now. I miss him." A tear fell down her cheek followed by more. Hermione held Lily close as she cried, "He left us didn't he Mummy? He didn't want to be with us anymore did he?"

"No honey he wanted to be with us he just couldn't. He was sick."

"Will I ever see him again?"

"You will see him again one day but not for a long time."

"OK Mummy. You wont leave me will you?"

"Of course I wont. I promise. Now why don't we have some breakfast?"

Lily nodded and Hermione poured two bowls of cornflakes and poured milk in them. She sprinkled sugar over both of them and took them over to the dining room table. Hermione and Lily ate in silence and when she was finished, Lily went into the lounge room and turned the telly onto the cartoon channel. Hermione cleaned up the breakfast dishes and then put Lily's shoes on for her, grabbed her handbag and headed out the door. She was only going to go to the chemist to get the test and then straight back home to do it. When she arrived at the chemist she was pleased to see it was almost empty. She grabbed a pregnancy test off the shelf and paid for it at the counter. She took hold of Lily's hand and went back home. When they got back, Hermione set Lily up in front of the telly with her favorite video (My Little Pony) and went into the bathroom. She read the instructions on the leaflet in the test kit box and followed them. She couldn't bring herself to look and when the allocated five minutes was up it took all of her strength to look back at the test strip. When she saw the two pink lines she burst into tears. She was going to have another child to Harry and him being dead made it more complicated. She was barely hanging in raising Lily and coming to terms with the fact that she was now a single mother. Being pregnant was the last thing Hermione needed but there was nothing she could do now. Abortion was not an option and she could never give a baby up for adoption. It wasn't that she didn't want another child just that the timing was wrong. She didn't have anyone to support her. She would have to get a test done by a doctor to confirm the pregnancy test even though it was 99.99 accurate. Hermione threw the wrapper in the bin, covered the test in toilet paper and took it to her room. She hid it in the drawer beside her bed along with the test that had confirmed her first pregnancy. After that, Hermione went out to the lounge room to check on Lily who was singing along to a song on her video. Smiling at her daughter, Hermione walked over to the side table that held her parchment, inkbottles and quills.

Dear St Mungo's,

I would like to make an appointment to see about getting a pregnancy confirmed. I have already done a muggle test but would like to take yours as it is 100 accurate and there is some doubt in my mind about my pregnancy. Any time is suitable for me.

Yours Sincerely,

Miss Hermione Granger,

46 Stapleton Road

Surrey.

Hermione checked the letter before tying it to her owl, Mallee. She took her beautiful white owl, which was Hedwig's daughter (Hedwig passed away a year ago), to the window and watched as she flew off into the distance. After standing at the window for a few minutes, Hermione went into the kitchen and made two chicken sandwiches, one for her and one for Lily. She took them into the lounge room with two glasses of orange juice and Lily and her ate their lunch while watching My Little Pony. Hermione washed up the lunch dishes when they had finished eating and then decided to read a book to Lily who was slowly learning to read. Lily was exceptionally bright for the age of four. She could write her full name and telephone number and had a very good memory. She remembered every phone number she had and knew which one was the right one to ring if she became lost. Hermione never let her daughter out of her site and when they went anywhere, Hermione always made Lily hold her hand.

Two days later Mallee returned. Hermione opened the sealed letter and read it.

Dear Miss Granger,

Your appointment is on the 19th June at 11:30am. You will be told which doctor will see you when you arrive. Please bring this letter with you as confirmation of your appointment.

Thank you,

St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies.

Hermione looked at the calendar and saw that it was only the 15th. She had to wait another four days before finding out whether or not she was pregnant again. She didn't know any of the doctors at St Mungo's but decided to go there instead of a muggle hospital. She had Lily at a muggle hospital in London and had always said that when she fell pregnant again she would give birth at St Mungo's.

The next four days went by pretty fast and before Hermione knew it, Wednesday 19th had rolled around. Lily woke her that morning by jumping on her bed. Hermione had told her the night before that she was going to Molly's for a little while and Lily had been positively delighted. There was always something to do at The Burrow.

Hermione showered while Lily had breakfast and then got a bath ready for Lily. Her appointment wasn't until 11:30am and it was only 9:30am.

At 11am, Hermione traveled to The Burrow with Lily by Floo powder. Hermione had quit her job at St Mungo's because she couldn't handle going back and had told the Weasley's that she was going job hunting and didn't want to drag Lily all around London with her so that she didn't get asked where she was going. She had a quick cup of coffee and then apperated to St Mungo's. She went over to the welcome witch who told her to go to floor 3. There was a ward set up just for pregnant witches. Hermione took the elevator and went over to the reception desk and showed the wizard her letter. He nodded after reading it and checked to see which doctor would be seeing her.

"The doctor you are seeing wishes for you to wait until he sees you for you too know whom he is." The wizard told her. Hermione looked at him curiously before thanking him and taking a seat in the waiting area. She picked up an old edition of The Daily Prophet and began reading it. She smiled a little when she realized how old it actually was. The article she had turned to was:

DUMBLEDORE'S GIANT MISTAKE!

That article was from her fourth year at Hogwarts when the Triwizard Tournament had come to Hogwarts. That was when Rita Skeeter had been sneaking around Hogwarts as an unregistered Animagus. Hermione, being the smartest witch in her year, had figured it out herself and after keeping Rita in a glass jar since just before the last task up until when they arrived in London after school had finished for the year, the evil witch had not written anything derogatory about anyone due to fear of being caught for being unregistered Animagus.

"Granger." Came a vaguely familiar voice. Hermione looked and too her horror she saw Draco Malfoy standing there in the Healer uniform.

"Yes Granger. I am your doctor. I hand picked you actually." Draco gave her his usual smirk.

"Why did you pick me? What makes you think I want you to be my doctor? You're the reason Professor Dumbledore is dead. There is no way in hell I'm going to let you examine me let alone deliver my child." Hermione half yelled at him.

"I was under the Imperius curse thank you very much. Dumbledore was dying and to save my parents I had to act as though I was working for You Know Who! Dumbledore, Snape and I had planned to kill Dumbledore. He left a letter or are your ugly little ears to precious to hear the facts?" Draco snarled at Hermione. She glared back at him. He was right. She hadn't been told any of this. Even now 6 years after Dumbledore's death, Hermione had been convinced that Malfoy had acted on his own accord. If this were true why would he be working at St Mungo's where he could kill as many witches as he wanted?

"I thought so." Malfoy muttered breaking into Hermione's thoughts, "Now can we get onto your appointment? I do have other patients to see you know."

"Fine but I'm warning you…If you harm me in any way I will make sure you are locked away for the rest of your life." Hermione told him.

"Well I guess I should keep my curses to myself then hadn't I? Lets go then. Room 3. It's up the hall on the left. I'll be there in a minute." Hermione nodded and walked off up the hall. Draco watched her.

Damn she's hot! What am I thinking? It's Granger!

Draco pushed these thoughts out of his head and walked over to put the file from his previous patient into the filing cabinet before retrieving Hermione's and making his way to the room he had told Hermione to go to. He closed the door behind him and turned to look at Hermione.

"So you want a pregnancy test?" He asked in a professional manner whilst consulting his notes.

"Yes. I have already done a home pregnancy test but I wanted it confirmed." Hermione told him.

"Right well take a seat on the bed over there and lift up your shirt."

Hermione did as she was told and Malfoy pulled out his wand.

"Pregnosis" he muttered. A white light shone from Hermione's stomach. Malfoy murmured another spell and the white light disappeared.

"The white light confirms that you are in fact pregnant. How far along do you think you are?"

"3 months." Hermione answered.

"OK. I can determine that for you with another spell." Malfoy muttered another spell and this time a bright blue 3 issued from Hermione's stomach, "You were right. Your 3 months along. Does Potter know?"

Hermione looked at him with such a piercing stare that Malfoy actually stepped back a little.

"Haven't you heard? Harry is dead you twit. Of course he doesn't know!" Hermione spat angrily at him as her eyes burned with tears.

"I…I'm sorry. I didn't know." Malfoy said looking extremely embarrassed.

"Yeah well keep your mouth shut in future. Is that all you have to do? Can I go now?" Hermione had become quite angry.

"Ye-yes. I want you to come back in two weeks for a checkup."

"Fine. Do I pay now? I would rather pay now then later if I can."

"You can pay at the desk."

Hermione walked out without saying another word and paid the required 3 Galleons and left before Malfoy had came out of the room.

Shit! I hadn't heard that. I wonder when Potter died? Draco thought to himself. He walked out into the corridor still thinking about it and filed Hermione's notes. I really put my foot in it there. He thought before pulling out his next patients file.
