Sorry it has taken me so long to update I have had a serious case of writers block but I am happy to report that I have plenty of new ideas on where to take this story.
I am awful fond of fitting name jokes in my stories so if you catch the one in here I did it on purpose.
A month later found Hermione, Severus, and Constance decorating the spare bedroom of Severus's chambers turning it into a nursery. Actually Severus and Constance were decorating, a six months pregnant Hermione was sitting in a rocking chair giving orders.
"So" Said Constance lining up stuffed animals in the crib. "Has Ron told you anything about his mystery lady?"
Severus rolled his eyes as he tried to figure out how to put the changing table together.
"Must I be here for this conversation?"
Hermione ignored him.
"No, he tunes me out whenever I try to talk to him about it. Yesterday he even went as far as to help Ginny with her homework to get out of talking about it."
Constance laughed, "Did you try asking Molly?"
Hermione laughed and shook her head. "Ron doesn't tell her anything about his love life."
Severus mumbled "It's Luna Lovegood." He held up what was supposed to be the top part of the changing table. "Now this can't be right." He said looking at it. It looked like a drunken spider.
Hermione's jaw dropped. "How did you know that?"
Giving up on manually putting the changing table together, Severus waved his wand and in the time it had taken him to open the box, the table had pieced itself together.
"Trelawny told me." He smirked.
"Smartass." Hermione mumbled.
Feeling a pregnancy bitch fit coming on Severus hastily answered. "I saw them in a very…intimate embrace in the transfiguration classroom yesterday."
With come difficulty Hermione stood and walked over to Severus and hit him round the head.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She snapped.
"I didn't think it was important?" Severus half asked.
Hermione plopped back down in the rocker mumbling something about men.
"So" Constance said to break the tension. "Have the two of you thought of any names yet?"
"Eric, Eric Snape." Hermione answered.
"What about a middle name?"
"Rupert" Severus answered.
"What a lovely name." Constance smiled.
At that moment Remus knocked on the nursery door.
Hermione looked up and saw in him standing in the doorway.
She smiled "Remus, come in."
"Hermione, Severus" He nodded to them, than he saw Constance. "Constance pleasure." He said very tightly.
"Like hell it is." Constance mumbled.
"What can we do for you Remus?" Hermione asked before the two of them could go at it.
"It's about Harry." He answered.
"Get out!" Severus growled.
"Hush Sev" Hermione glared "What about Harry?"
"He went missing for a short period after the final battle did he not?" Remus asked.
"About 20 minutes yeah. When he came back he was a bit disoriented, but we chalked it up to the battle. You think differently?"
Remus nodded. "Tell me Hermione do you think he could have been cursed?"
