So I need to make something clear before I keep writing this story. I work 40+ hours a week and started this story with the idea of de-stressing my life. Negative reviews are unhelpful and quite irritating, if you don't like the story or the formatting. Move on. Thank you.

I do not own Harry Potter

Hermoine POV

"Hermoine what do you and baby want for Christmas, I want to go shopping this Hogsmede trip!" Harry and Ron kept hounding her. She had decided to keep the baby, as this washer chance. She may not have Severus, but this baby will be her future- Her little Prince.

"Harry, my main priority is getting through school and figuring out where I'm going to live come graduation. Plus figuring out if the father wants to be involved."

"But Mione, I want to buy him/her little onesies! When will you know the gender? "Of course Ron was the most excited, having come from such a big family.

"I have a scan next month, no boys you cannot come. Have either of you seen Ginny, I want to tell her." The boys shrugged, meaning Ginny was probably with Draco.

"I'm going to find her, be good boys and don't buy anything for me or baby." Hermoine walked away, knowing they would anyway.

Knocking on the door to the heads dorm, she could hear giggling from behind. She was happy that Ginny had found someone to loved her. Draco answered the door, his hair slightly ruffled.

"Hey Granger, here to see Ginny?" Hermoine nodded, Ginny took one look at her and knew something was wrong.

"Let me grab my cloak and we will walk around the lake." Within a few moments they were walking along the frozen ground, for early December there was not much snow on the ground.

"Talk to me Hermoine, you look terrible."

"I wanted to tell you when I found out, but you were busy with Draco. Harry and Ron know and are excited, but I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do. Ginny I need your help!" Pregnancy hormones had made Hermoine cry so easily, Ginny had never seen her cry before.

Ginny steered Hermoine over to a bench and made her sit. "Shhh, everything will be okay. Just tell me whats wrong."

"I'm pregnant, three months along." The shock was clear on Ginny's face.

"I didn't know you were even seeing anyone, who is the father?"

"It was one time, and he's barely talked to me since. I read a book about pregnancy in the restricted section, if I'm not with the father by six months the magic in the baby will not grow! If I don't tell him my baby will be a squib." Ginny had grown up knowing that, which is why her mother always pressured her to be married and successful before having children.

"Hermonie, who is the baby's father?" Ginny asked again, holding onto one of her hands tight.

"Professor Snape." Hermoine burst into a fresh set of tears, "We were brewing Amorentia, and missed the part where we needed a bubble head charm to protect again the fumes, he kicked me out right after."

"Merlin.. Hermoine, and he doesn't know he's going to be a father? Does McGonagall know?"

"The nurse made me tell her before I could leave the hospital wing." Ginny sat there in shock, Hermonie was very strong willed but would she actually let her child be a squib? A Granger Snape child would have so much magic and brains.

"Do you want to be with him?" Hermoine nodded through her tears, "He may be a bastard, but he is so smart and charming." The girls too busy talking did not notice someone else walking outside.

Severus and McGonagall had been taking a walk along the lake to talk about a young Slytherin who was struggling being away from home.

"But you know what, stop crying. I'm going to be an aunt!" They could hear chatter coming from a bench along the lake. Coming into view they could see Hermoine and the youngest Weasley. McGonagall stepped over and spoke to them for a moment.

"Girls, it is too cold for you to be sitting outside. Go get warm inside the castle and have some hot chocolate." The girls scampered off after seeing who she was walking with.

"Minerva.. is Hermoine pregnant?" The girls overheard as they shuffled back into the castle.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck, Ginny he fucking knows!" They stopped just inside the castle doors.

"Hermoine, you need to calm down before you have a panic attack. Breath, remember the 123. Whats one thing you can touch, two things you can smell, and three things you can see."

"I can touch you, I smell chocolate and snow, and I can see my life going down the fucking drain."

"Come on, lets go to the kitchen and get some hot chocolate to calm down. I'm sure the nurse has warned you about unnecessary stress, it's not good for the baby."

They sat down in the kitchen, elves quickly getting them cocoa and gingerbread cookies. "Ginny, I'm going to be a mother in six months. I don't think it's possible to keep my stress down."

The patronus of a cat showed up after they had started to relax. "Hermoine, he knows. Let's meet in my office after dinner today."

"I can do this, I have three more months until I need to decide if he's going to be in our lives. He can work for it if he wants to be involved." Ginny nodded, surprised at the turn in her attitude.

"You have this Hermoine, you are growing a human. You are in charge." They laughed, it was getting later and later in the afternoon.

"Should I bring the scans to the meeting? Do you think he would want to see proof? I bet you he doesn't even think it's his." Hermoine took a moment and looked in her internal library, is there a paternity spell?

"Bring the scans, I'm sure he's excited." Ginny was always her rock, she could keep her calm in almost any situation.

The girls talked for a little bit longer until it was time for dinner, Hermoine knew the boys would be worried so they went to dinner a little early.

From the moment they stepped into the dining hall Hermoine could feel Severus's eyes on her.

"Mione is everything okay?" Harry and Ron jumped up the moment they got close.

"Long story short? He knows and we have a meeting in McGonagall's office after dinner." The boys sat in shock, what had happened in just a few hours.

"Remember Hermoine, you are growing the baby you are in charge." Ginny gently reminded her. Hermoine picked at her dinner, her nerves making her not too hungry.

"I'm going to get some air before the meeting, I need to relax." Ginny nodded knowing that Hermoine needed to be alone.

Outside in the cool breeze Hermoine gave herself a little pep talk. She was in charge, it's her choice to decide if he will be in her life. And there was always the living as a muggle plan to fall back on. Either way, she would have to keep strong for her baby. Knowing dinner was still in session she made her way up to McGonagalls office, whispering the password of 'Catnip' she made her way inside.

"Winky, can you bring a pot of tea please." She spoke to the house elf that had become her friend.

"Of course Missy Hermoine, and may I say you will be a wonderful mother." Hermoine smiled and said thank you.

A few minutes went by before she heard steps leading to the door. "Minerva, she didn't stay at dinner. How do you know she will even show to the meeting?"

As they entered the door, he saw Hermoine tucked on the sofa resting her eyes.

"Because she has my password"

"Little one, it's time for the meeting." Minerva gently stroked Hermoine's hair until her eyes fluttered open.

"Lets do this." Hermoine said sitting up on the couch, still leaving the blanket covering her.

A big thank you to everyone who has read this story, writing this is keeping me sane.
