A/N: I know that some of you have had comments about the time frame around the story. I have no problems with writing it back in 1997 however this story takes places and started in 2005. Currently though certain events leads it into this year so its a present story

The spent the next few days fixing up the Chamber of .Secrets in the end it was hardly recognizable. It had come a long way since then. Tomorrow was the arrival of everyone including the parents. Harry was currently in the library looking over texts. He was stuck inbetween three piles of books. One was ways of defense the other was defensive spells the one next to that consisted of healing books. He was learning more and more he felt himself becoming prepared.

'Is this the feeling that Hermione gets when she's here reading books?'

He switched from the one he was currently reading to another one. He felt someone tapping him on the back and wrap their arms around his shoulders.

"Hermione, what happened?"

"McGonagall called us."

"I'll be there. Let me just put these back."

"I'll help you." Hermione said before she grabbed a stack.

"It's not necessary. You don't want to strain yourself."

"Okay, at least tell me what your reading."

She flipped through the books looking at the various Defense titles.

"Oh my...I can't believe you were actually looking at this. 'A Healer's Guide to Birthing Babies' were you actually considering being the one to birth the baby. I was thinking more of someone else who's not Madam Pomfrey doing it."

"Of course not. Though I have no shame of seeing blood and I have seen all of the glorious wonders that are you. I would be honored to do it but I would be nervous and I think my place is helping you through it."

"I see you've been thinking about this also."

"So have you." Harry added.

"I have to though, I carry said child, and don't worry Harry I think that you are going to be a great father and we're going to be amazing parents. We can do this but we have to do it together."

"I just think that I need to know what's going on with you and why it's happening so I don't worry as much as I do. Also if something for some reason were to go wrong I would know how to fix it. That would make me feel a whole lot better about things."

"Hermione, Harry, where the hell have you two been. McGonagall's been waiting for you two. Stop staring at each other like that and come on." Pansy shouted.

They scrambled to put away the books Harry had taken out. On the way Hermione began talking about her potions.

"We have a full stock Harry of potions some are decapitating as a last resort so I only made about seven vials of those. Other ones that are stunners I made within the hundreds. Other ones that I found interesting are distraction ones that when you throw a smoke forms. It's similar to the ones that Fred and George used in fifth year, but of course less dangerous. There are sixty that take out everything within a few feet and I think that I have created an original potion that when thrown has the potential to take out giants, trolls, and vampires. When and if we use it though we have to be careful to make sure that Hagrid is nowhere near it. We could end up killing him and we could never forgive ourselves."

"Wow that's a lot of stuff that you've done. It's paid of obviously off the research that you've done in the library. I myself have come up with a lot of new defensive methods. I can teach them to you if you would like me to. It proves very useful."

They murmured the password and entered the headmistress' office. Everyone was already seated on couches looking up at them expectantly.

"Where were you two?" McGonagall said.

"We were just talking about some things!" Hermione stated.

"Leave your personal lives out of this!" McGonagall instructed them to sit down.

Hermione murmured, " It got personal when you instructed us to reconstruct the Chamber of Secrets."

Everyone heard what she had said. They were surprised at her for talking back to a teacher like that. In the meanwhile they turned to theur Headmistress to see what she was going to do.

"Mrs. Potter I will excuse that comment because of your situation right now. Don't push it because I will not hesitate to give you a detention."

"What situation?" Neville asked looking at her with his eyes wide open.

"Don't you know mudblood's p---"

"...paper got an E instead of an O. I was shocked I put a weeks work into it, and don't call me a mudblood" Hermione covered it up.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

It was the morning of everyone's arrival through the gates they could see the crowd growing. It was very early in the morning about five and most of the children in the crowd could be seen eyes fluttering proped up against trunks others carried by their mothers. Harry could barely control himself. He was really nervous around these people. To him, it felt like they were staring right through him analyzing him, scrutinizing him, trying to see exactly why he was there.

"Welcome to Hogwarts and for those of you who went here welcome back." Harry started.

"To your left on the elongated table you will see maps and further instructions and also procedures we will go through for everyday care. As most students are still in classes and taking final exams, not to mention the 7th years such as ourselves taking N.E.W.T's. Those are sometime in the coming weeks so we ask of you to please keep it down during designated times. The ringing of the big clock signals the beginning and ending of these sessions. The afore mentioned maps are your guide around the castle to any area you wish to go to. Their first destination is to your room. Breakfast is from seven to nine in the morning, lunch is eleven to one in the afternoon and dinner is five to seven in the evening. I hope you enjoy your stay under these conditions."

Everyone with that started to walk through the halls it was a wide corridor but as they were a large amount of people. Harry counted about 250 or so making sure they got where they needed to be with little disruptions.

"Harry, how are you dear?"

"Oh, hi Mrs. Weasley. Just trying to keep things here under control with the rest of the prefects. How is everything for you so far?"

"It's fine I'm just trying to figure out how to work this map. The twins are coming after they finish closing up the shop, Charlie he's still in Romania with the dragons, and Bill and Fleur will be coming later on with Arthur once he gets back from the ministry."

"Cool so what help do you need with the map?" Harry asked.

"Yes, how does it work again. Everytime I look for where we for the pathway I can't find it."

"Oh, Hermione showed me how to do it. It's of her own invention based on another map. You are the dot right here." Harry said pointing it out, " When you think of a place you want to go. Let's say your assigned room a golden pathway will show up on it. Just follow the pathway and you should end up at your destination."

"Thank you Harry. Where is Hermione by the way? I didn't see her outside wyhen you were making the announcements."

"I think that she said she was going to go to the Great Hall and watch some sort of movie. She woke up earlier and said it to me. i think she got a little biut to engrossed in it and I didn't have the heart to tell her that it was time. So i went outside and did it by myself."

"That was nice are you going to go see what's happening. I'll probably be over in a few minutes after I put these bags away. Say hi to Ron for me if you seehim before I do."

"Will do."

Harry was already half way over to the Great Hall anyways. He and Mrs. Weasley parted ways. He opened the Great Hall it wasn't as dark as it was when they used to have their movie nights but dark enough where you could see the screen. Harry sat next to Hernione. She had not interfered with the new arrangements in the Great Hall. There were still the house tables but in corners there were additional tables.

"What are you watching?"

"All you have to do is look!" Hermione told him eyes still glued to the screen.

Harry glanced over to the screen and turned his head back looking over at Hermione.

"I'm never looking at that again!" Harry said. "What is that?"

"It's the video my parents brought in the box. It's very enlightening."

"That's too much blood."

"Don't tell me your squeamish about blood now? That's your own handywork."

They heard the shuffle of feet as the doors opens.

"Oh shit turn it off." Hermione shouted wide eyed.

"Why what happened?" Harry asked.

Then he realized that people were starting to float in to the Great Hall.

"Run, Hermione, Run." Harry shouted.

"You want me to run like this!" Hermione shouted waving her hands back at her enlarged stomach.

Rushing over to her laptop they pulled out the disc and put it back in its case turning on the lights. Hermione focused on turning the computer of properly and Harry banished the couch in front.

"What do we do with this?" Hermione asked waving it around.

"We stop hiding behind ourselves and just give up trying."

"Give up what trying to protect our son or daughter?" Hermione asked her mouth open in shock."

"No, I would never do that. You know me better than that I'm trying to protect you and Ron the best that I can. You think that I would put an innocent life in danger."

"I was just asking a question Harry."

"I was just trying to tell you that we should stop with lying about things."

"Harry, honestly it's not lying. It's more like with holding the truth. For instance if someone asks me 'Are you pregnant?" of course I would reply 'Of course I am don't I look it." I can't lie if my life depended on it. It's not the best thing to not be able to lie but it helps in situations like our honestly towards each other."

"So did you bring your bag downstairs with you?" Harry asked.

"No, It was four in the morning all I brought was the movie." Hermione said walking over towards.

A/N: I know, it took me forever to update and I cut it off kind of but I really wanted to get it posted I think the next chapter will be a whole Voldemort perspective chapter so it will be really long and take me a while to update
