-1A/N: I have officially decided to post five now, but I expect reviews. If I get reviews for each chapter, I will post the other five on Monday. I am skimming them as I'm posting them, but if I miss things then… don't kill me I will fix them.

I don't own any of the characters, the setting nope.

The next two months passed in a flourish for Hermione if she wasn't teaching she was eating or sleeping. She was forbidden to teach Malfoys class, so she stayed in her room, and took naps. The twins made her constantly tired, and it was a struggle to close her robes. She was already showing. She actually had to start using some of Snapes things. This weekend she would go shopping for more clothes. The Halloween ball was only a day away. One day until she could actually tell everyone she was pregnant, and she was engaged to be married. Severus had not been called to a death eater meeting at all this school year, but he told her it was normal. He usually got two to three months to get established in the school to the first years, then he was forced to report.

That night Snape and Hermione were intertwined, when Harry and Ginny came in. Ginny looked pained. Sweat matted her hair, and a gash decorated her breasts.

"What happened?"

"Someone decided it would be funny to blow up a glass cauldron. I didn't want to take her to Madam Promfrey/"

"Harry go get oblivion root, from the herbology lab." Hermione said.

Harry bolted from the room. Snape looked at Hermione. "To get him out of the room. Are you having contractions?" Ginny nodded her head.

"I was…" She took a deep breath, and held it then continued "Hit with a muscle contracting spell from Malfoy, he's back. I blew up the cauldron when a contraction hit me."

Snape left the room and returned with a vial. He handed it over to Ginny, and she drank it. "You're staying here. I'm taking you to a bed." He said and she nodded. He swooped her up in his arms and took her to the extra bedchambers. He gently placed her on the bed, and elevated her legs. He got his first aid tray from the medicine cabinet, and walked back into the rooms. Hermione was sitting next to Ginny, he sat down on the other side of her.

Harry bolted into the room as Severus was undressing Ginny's top half. He saw all the blood and paled. Severus realized that the glass went further down, and took of her shirt totally. Glass fragments lodged themselves in cuts going from mid breast to navel. He used his wand and said spells, he removed the fragments one by one. Then he handed a cream to Harry. "I am not touching your lady there. Rub that on the cuts generously and she is not to leave this room." Harry nodded his agreement and started rubbing the ointment on her wounds

"Malfoy's back?" Hermione said to Snape, as soon as they were out of earshot.

"I don't think Ms. Weasley's complicated voyage is accidental. I think Voldemort knows she will be bearing Potter's child. They must stay here, in our chambers." He looked at Hermione.

"You'd have more of a problem with this than I'd have."

"Then it's decided I will tell them you must go rest." She smirked, and then followed his orders.

The next thing Hermione knew it was morning, and an enthusiastic Ginny was in her bed.

"We get to go to the market today!" Was Ginny's upbeat remark.

Hermione held back a sarcastic remark, and got out of bed.

As they headed won the streets of Hogsmeade, people stared but Hermione was used to it. Ginny however was discouraged. They went to stores, quickly and left Hogsmeade as soon as possible.

When they got back they both got ready for the Halloween Ball. It turns out with recent events Harry and Ginny decided to tell everyone early too. Hermione dressed in a silk black dress-robe that fit tight over her breasts and had loose gatherings of material over her stomach. She walked in low black heels, and even her eye make up was black. Her hair hung in loose curls that cascaded down her back. Ginny was in olive. Her dress was held up by a gold chain that attached to either side. It had a large broach in the middle of her breasts, and it was tight, but also had a loose fold of material down the middle. She walked in gold flats. They looked good, and when they walked down the stairs and into the hallway right before the great hall people stared. The murmurs got worse as they got closer, and their lies became more obvious. They were at their worst as Hermione took her left hand which had her wedding ring on it, and hooked it in Severus' arm. They walked into the great hall followed by the students and Hermione and Severus were the first one's to dance. Slow steps slow song they had everything planned even what Severus would tell Voldemort. Hermione found out that Ginny was pregnant while he was gone, and she told him. He was going to say he devised a plan to keep Ginny, and Harry close by trapping Hermione. He did that by planting an ovulation potion in her tea, and seduced her. Trapping her, because she loved her schoolwork more than she loved being single. And pregnant women were not allowed at Hogwarts unless they were engaged.

They danced close, and when the song ended. They kissed, it was meant to be a quick brush of lips, but it turned passionate, and people gasped. Dumbledore announced the marriage and birth announcements and some people choked, but it was Malfoy that looked outraged. Then the engaged couples were asked to dance, and they did twirling around the dance floor. They both ended with a kiss, and this time it was chaste. Ron looked green, but had been holding out through tonight.

Minerva flipped open a locket for what seemed like the thousandth time in the last five minutes, then she called over Severus. She explained something Hermione couldn't make out. He ran over to her cape billowing, and scooped her up. He carried her like a baby, and sat her down at the staff table next to Minerva.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Severus had not seen Hermione since she had left this morning and he longed for her, but was angry that he was so weak. He had never longed for anyone, that was weak, and as a Snape he couldn't afford to be weak. But yet as she came down the steps he could think of nothing but bringing her back down to the bedchambers to ravish her. She had her hair down, but her curls had been tamed and darkened, now they were dark brown waves, and curls down to her mid back. They black dress she had picked out clung to her breasts but had a loose effect on her stomach. Her makeup had been done tastefully done. Her eyes a smoky black with black lashes, and striking black eyeliner. With a red tint to her lips, she looked paler now, because there were blue highlights to her skin.

As she walked down the stairs she took his breath away, but she didn't even realize. She did exactly what they had planned, flaunting her ring by taking his arm with her left hand. He was glad he was wearing tight black slacks this time. He had done away with his neck cloth and actually wore normal dress robes. His own an almost exact replica for Harry's. But, knowing Hermione she didn't even notice, she was always getting lost in the depths of his eyes. They danced, and Severus realized they had been the topic of conversation for quite some time. Dumbledore finally made the announcements, and he realized that he was going to have to deal with Lucius and Draco, at least one more time.

They took their dance and moved exactly as he had taught her to move. Minerva ushered him over.

"You need to get her off her feet, this baby hasn't moved in quite a while, and I'm worried…"

He didn't even wait for Minerva to finish talking in her hushed tones before he went over and picked her up. He placed her on a chair, next to Minerva, whom he knew would shackle her before letting her get up. Minerva did a comfort spell, which shifted the babies to allow Hermione to obviously 'be more comfortable' but, apparently she was hoping to move them to stop whatever had been happening to the one child. As he patrolled the room he kept glancing at Minerva whom was making hurried glances into her lap. Finally, her expression changed to a happy one. She looked at him and she nodded, he blew out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, and continued to patrol the room. Soon Ginny joined Minerva and Hermione at the staff table.

They talked and laughed until Ginny started yawning. Then Minerva called over both Harry, and Severus and ordered them to take their fiance's to their room so they could rest. Harry, and Severus both escorted their ladies down to the dungeons. Ginny rapidly getting more tired. Hermione seemed particularly exuberant. She jumped on him as soon as they were in the comfort of their room. Apparently her sex drive was one of those whom changed for the better as opposed to the ones whom diminished. After a long night Hermione was the one laying awake. She kept having visions were Severus died, and before she knew it it was four o'clock, and sleep finally swept over her.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Being four months pregnant with twins had finally taken over Hermione mind body and soul, Severus noticed the next day at breakfast. She had dark circles under her eyes and she was struggling to sit upright in her chair. "I was thinking Hermione. I think we should make Minerva one of the god parents. What do you think?" Severus said while reaching for more coffee.

"I was actually thinking the same, although, Minerva and Dumbledore would be a pair. But, it's customary for wizarding families with twins to have two sets of godparents. Whom would you suggest?" Hermione said, obviously worn out.

"I was actually thinking Harry and Ginny." He said never removing his eyes from his paper.

"That would be wonderful. Oh my god, Severus your mark." at the mention of it he looked down, and sure enough it was darker and more active.

"Go to Dumbledore. Don't worry, I'll be fine, we have everything planned out.

The trip to Dumbledore's office was a long one, what if the scenario's from last night actually played themselves out. Her eyes filled with tears. She got to the stairwell, and Minerva was there along with Ginny, and Harry. Ginny hugged Hermione and then realized what must have happened. They all went back up to the headmasters office, and while he attempted to make polite banter, Hermione sat utterly rigid waiting for Severus to come back, something didn't feel right.
